A dimly lit radio station studio features a person sitting at a wooden desk, wearing headphones and facing away. They are operating a vintage audio mixing console with two large reel-to-reel tape machines. A large microphone is positioned on a stand to the right. On the wall in front, above the window showing a blurry cityscape, is a red sign with white Korean text. The setting conveys a retro, possibly mid-20th-century aesthetic.




Dear Listeners of Block 17, 19, and that one tall building with the flickering hallway light,

If you’re reading this, you know where to tune in.
Same time. Same static. Same strange little frequency that somehow cuts through the fog.

This Friday at 23:00, don’t miss Volume 7 of your favorite anonymous transmission.

We’ve got new tracks from the most banned-but-beloved artists this side of the Taedong. Songs born in stairwells, basements, and borrowed rehearsal rooms—music that never wanted permission.

This week’s highlights:
🎸 A girl with a broken guitar string who still managed to outplay the Party Choir.
🥁 A band that uses rice cookers as percussion.
🎤 A rapper who only records in public bathrooms because the acoustics are “raw.”

The signal might crackle. The bass might distort.
But that’s part of the magic—from the laundry lines to your living room.

Keep your ears open. Keep your curtains drawn. And as always: Don’t ask where the signal comes from. Just be glad it still reaches you.

Yours in rhythm and rebellion,
DJ Joon-beom
