Bluedawn

Bluedawn (hangul: 푸른새벽; pronounced Pureun Saebyeok in Korean) was an indie folk rock duo from South Korea, whose members included Dawn (real name: Han Hui-Jeong, 한희정; voice, acoustic guitar, piano, and programming) and Ssoro (sometimes spelled "Sorrow"; real name: Jeong Sang-Hun, 정상훈; electric guitar, acoustic guitar, voice, and programming). The group was active since the early 21st century and has released two albums and one CD containing two EPs. Their 2003 album "Bluedawn" features the additional musicians Orange_drink (drums) and yjroom (electric guitar) on the song "Sonyan."

Their music is generally low-key, with predominantly melancholy lyrics, using slow tempos and gentle, sweet melodies, drawing comparisons to the music of Mazzy Star. In addition to guitars and voices, the group sometimes also features drums, piano, and electronics.

The duo disbanded in late 2006 or early 2007, following the recording of their final album, "When Spring Comes" (보옴이 오면). Dawn is expected to release her first solo album on the Pastel Music label.
