kimchaeryeong

kimchaeryeong is an independent South Korean singer-songwriter and guitarist whose music draws on indie pop, bedroom pop, and alternative pop. She writes the lyrics, composes the music, and arranges every song herself. In her home studio, she also plays and records most of the instruments on her releases. She released her debut single, “Letter,” in August 2026, followed by the double single Small things / Interstellar that October. The two songs explore different kinds of distance. On “small things,” a playful guitar riff accompanies her reflections on the distance between who she was and who she is now, and how she might one day miss the person she is today. “Interstellar” explores the distance between oneself and another through the story of an alien longing to reach someone across the vastness of space.
