Busker Busker
My favorite band is Busker Busker which is performing in Korea. This band was coming out second
best in Korean survival audition program Super Star K 3 and debut in 2011. This is the reason of how I
know them. My mom enjoyed to watching survival audition programs, and Super Star K was one of that
her favorite. She spread Super Star K to me, and I started to watch that with her. When I started
watching this program, it was season 3. During I watching this TV show, I became a fan of Busker
Busker with my mom. Their song was beautiful. They were composited songs with folk rock, indie rock,
pop rock and soft rock which are all rock genres.
The members of this band are Beom-Jun Jung, Brad, and Hyung-Tae Kim. They knew each other from
Sangmyung University. First, Busker Busker was made by the purpose of creating Culture Street in
Cheonan. During that time, they had 20 members for that activity. The Busker Busker group set up
multiple performances in the summer of 2011 in a local Cheonan park, which is where the Busker
Busker band's fame began to escalate. At the same time, Beom-Jun, Hyung-Tae, and Brad were
participating in Superstar K3 auditions, as a trio, because they were the only members of the band
that were able to participate in the process. After their auditions aired on TV, the band solidified as a
trio.
First, Beom-Jun is the leader of this band. He was also worked on lead vocal, and guitar. He has very
gentle and soft voice. This is the one of the reason that why I like him. When we sing a song, his
singing is really sweet. For other information, he is really good at drawing. He got a Grand prize in 5 th
Daegu cartoon character competition. He drew album cover with bad members character. This talent
was very useful.
Second, Brad is the member who playing a drum in this band. His full name is Bradley Ray Moore. He
was department of English Language and Literature Professor in Sangmyung University Cheonan
Campus, Korea. This is became a connection between 2 other members.
Third is Hyung-Tae, Kim. He is also a member of the Busker Busker. He takes a bass guitar and back
vocal. He had a senior-junior relationship with Beom-Jun in University.
Busker Buskers date of debut was 29/March/2012 with an album. This is really lately debut, so they
dont have many albums. Their First album came out in 29/March/2012. The album name was Busker
Busker The first series. They didnt put something special name on their album. This was the album
that has Busker Buskers most famous song, Cherry blossoms Ending.
The second album was named Busker Busker the first series wrap up. It came out in 21/June/2012.
It was a Single. They had 5 songs in there. They published this album with similar mood as the first
album.
The third album was came out in 25/September/2013. They published 9 songs with this album
which is named Busker Busker the second series
Their songs theme are usually similar, and they didnt change that much. The reason of this is they
just acted for little more than1 year. Also, they had their themes that they took care of. It was sweet
and love. They made lots of sweet songs with sweet melody. They stick genres to rock. If I find their
changing, they include seasonal lyrics and themes in the songs by the time. It makes songs more
friendly and good to listening in that season.
In the present, the leader of this band, Beom-Jun, Jang married with Korean woman actor Song ji-U in
12.4.2014. It effected to Busker Busker band activity. They announced the band will just stop for a
moment. Beom-Jun planned business of street of culture vitalization and right now, he beginning that
business. They stopped a band form their third album, second series in 25/September/2013. But
people dont forget them and waiting for they coming back. The reason of this is their songs. Cherry
blossoms Ending and some other famous and popular songs are still being a Korea number one the
album chart every spring.

These songs are in order. I cant know several days that when they finished creating this song because
they just published all of the songs in the album when the album published. So the date in the left
side of album cover is the date of all of the songs published in each album.
