Listening to Jannabi (잔나비) is like stepping into a nostalgic, enchanting world that transcends language barriers. Formed in 2012, the band soared to fame in 2019 with their breakout hit “for lovers who hesitate” from the acclaimed album Legend. Even 5 years out, the song continues to have enduring staying power, with 40.1 million streams on Spotify alone – a wild feat for any K-indie band that’s on par with (or better than) most idol groups.
This track dominated Korean music charts and clinched top honors at the 2020 Korean Music Awards for Best Modern Rock Song and Song of the Year. Since then, Jannabi has cemented their status as one of Korea's premier indie acts.
