Boohwal is a legendary rock band from South Korea, known for their powerful rock ballads and expert musicianship. The name "Boohwal," which translates to "resurrection," fittingly describes the band's journey, as they have undergone numerous line-up changes and musical transformations since their formation in 1985. They first captivated audiences with their debut album "Rock Will Never Die" and have since become a staple in the Korean rock scene.
Led by the band's founder, guitarist, and mainstay Kim Tae-Won, Boohwal's resilience in the face of industry changes and member rotations is a testament to their relentless dedication to their craft. Over the years, Boohwal has released a series of successful albums with hits that have become timeless classics, showcasing not just rock but also incorporating elements of progressive rock and ballads that resonate with a wide audience. Their more recent releases, like "Miracle" and "The Moment," continue to solidify their status as rock icons by blending emotional lyricism with refined musicality. "Love is Unconditional," a campaign song commissioned by South Korea's Ministry of Justice to combat school violence, is especially poignant, revealing the band's commitment to social issues. Even as they traverse their fourth decade in the music industry, Boohwal’s contributions have undeniably shaped the rock landscape in Korea.
