Coreyah describes themselves as a psychedelic Korean folk music group pioneering a new style of Korean music that blends genres of contemporary ethnic and popular sounds while still maintaining the distinctive characteristics of traditional Korean instruments.

Their latest milestone, the 4th album titled Clap & Applause, commemorates their 10th anniversary with a dance-inducing, innovative approach to Korean world music. This album represents their ongoing dedication to infuse pop elements into traditional music, characterized by a bold, youthful style, heartfelt lyrics, and a captivatingly psychedelic sound.
