HYPNOSIS THERAPY wants to bring riches to Korea's underground music scene
“You can become rich through subculture.” Rapper Jjangyou delivered the line with the unvarnished confidence that has become central to HYPNOSYS THERAPY’s music: abrasive and determinedly unafraid of excess.

HYPNOSYS THERAPY, a Seoul-based rap duo consisting of rapper Jjangyou and producer Jflow, aim to bring prosperity to Korea's underground music scene. Their music is characterized by its abrasive style and willingness to embrace excess, as demonstrated by Jjangyou's statement that "you can become rich through subculture." This claim is not a departure from underground ideals, but rather a means to ensure the sustainability of musicians who operate outside Korea's pop mainstream.
The duo's ultimate goal is to demonstrate that musicians in subcultures can thrive financially, even achieving success and wealth. To mark Sejong Center for the Performing Arts' contemporary performance season finale, Sync Next, HYPNOSYS THERAPY will present two shows - "Mushroom House: Techno" and "Mushroom House: Live" - on September 4 and 5 at Sejong S Theater.
