Shin Donggyu, Daniel Kim, and Soonjong Cha make up the engaging trio Wave To Earth, which stands out in the dynamic world of K-pop. Originating from South Korea and nurtured under the Wavy label, this boy band debuted in 2019 with their single album “Wave.” What sets them apart is their unique blend of musical influences and their distinctive approach to language, as most of their songs are crafted in English, adding a global touch to their Korean roots.

The evolution of Wave To Earth’s sound is a journey worth noting. Originally starting as a duo with Shin Donggyu and Daniel, the group expanded its horizons by introducing Soonjong Cha and releasing their EP “[Wave 0.01]” in 2020. In addition to showcasing their newly discovered trio dynamic, this record signaled their switch from the We Are Not 0 label to the Wavy one. Wave To Earth’s musical identity is an intriguing mosaic with an indie pop core interwoven with jazz and lo-fi elements, enthralling a varied audience beyond borders.
