The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the loss of numerous live music venues for performing artists, but its impact has been particularly tough for indie musicians centered around Hongik University in western Seoul, also known as Hongdae, the center of Korea s independent music scene.

A post on Evans Lounge s Instagram account read, Evans Lounge, which opened on Dec. 5, bids farewell as of Jan. 4. We express our deepest gratitude to the musicians and audiences who brightened our venue. We hope we can meet again at a better time in the future. Happy New Year.

The year 2020 saw a rare phenomenon in the Korean music industry: It was the year of mutual gains for trot and K-pop, defying the long-held belief that musicians of the two drastically different genres are inevitably pitted against each other over popularity.
While the pandemic opened new doors for the K-pop industry to experiment with livestreaming services and virtual technologies to meet global fans, albeit digitally, megastar BTS became the first Korean act to be nominated for a Grammy.
At home, veteran trot singer Na Hoon-a created a sensation after the huge success of his TV concert on the eve of the Chuseok long weekend. This contributed further to an already existing boom in the trot genre, evidenced by the popularity of Mr. Trot, which broke TV Chosun s viewership records every week it aired.
