In 1996, just about ten years after the crest of the Gothic rock scene in the West, there were ripples of Goth beginning to show in the South Korean music sea.

Some of the first bands were O.H.N. ("Our Hot Dog Nation") and Rainy Sun, whose "gothesque" outfits (O.H.N.'s drummer personally designed/created the band's ensemble) and dark mood progressions in their music set in motion what would become the Korean Goth Wave.

Rockabilly took root in South Korea at the turn of this century, but came into fruition during the last part of the previous decade. Whereas in the West, punk descended from rockabilly, however in Korea, rockabilly developed out of the punk scene.
