Funky Coup: Korean Soul, Funk & Rare Groove Nuggets 1973~1980 Vol.1 (LP reissue 2020) "This compilation brings together, for the first time, the hottest soul/funk gems that moved the clubs and dancefloors during one of the darkest chapters of Korea’s modern history under the Yushin dictatorship.

윤시내 - Yoon, Si-Nae
Because I heard this great funky track from Yoin Si-Nae’s first album, and because I was able to check out her second album, I decided to do so. It is a (average-)good, but not exactly an exceptional album of pop with a pop/rock touch in a few tracks. The arrangements are well worked out with a few small orchestrations and a few rock band elements and an analogue keyboard.
The singing has a Korean mainstream flavour, has a bit of emotion in the singing but is more singing

이은하 - Lee, Eun-Ha
Also this is a more mainstream orientated singer, with a performance-related emotionality in the voice. This is especially so in the first track, where her voice is almost broken in a smoked way. This song itself still is mainstream pop with keyboard chords, some brass arrangement and a sax solo. This emotionality is also most clear in the last track, which iswith a piano accompaniment only.
