Why I chose Jaurim for Weekly Idol
This is a band whose name that pops up everywhere on the internet and it was from their opening performance on Mnet Asian Music Awards 2013 that I saw them for the first time. An alternative rock group who remind me of a few indie rock bands from the West, I enjoy their ventures into different styles. Yoon Ah sings with such a range that makes her stand out and you can instantly recognise her just from her voice.
