The band Inuin (Kim Woo-ji, Kim Jae-il, Seo Tae-yang, and Cho Jae-min) has signed an exclusive contract with Tapes, a label under the comprehensive entertainment company Mound Media, and is launching into full-scale musical activities.

Along with the announcement of the exclusive contract, Tapes stated that it will actively support Inuin so that the band can showcase its unique musical color and live strengths more broadly.

◆ A Rock-Based Artistic World... Nominated for the '2026 Korean Music Awards'

Inuin is a band that has expanded music, narrative, imagery, and performance into a single body of work based on rock. Through the full-length album 'Herman' and the EP 'SAMSARA,' they have consistently explored themes of the post-apocalyptic world and cycles, building a domain of their own. In particular, they were nominated for Best Rock Song at the '2026 Korean Music Awards,' earning recognition for both their musicianship and artistry.

Their formation story is also unique. The members met through an online community for buying and selling used instruments and audio equipment and formed the team. Starting with the 2024 single 'Mahaom,' they released 'Seoul,' 'Herman,' 'Samsara,' and more in succession, and have connected with audiences on major festival stages including the 'Busan International Rock Festival' and 'Beautiful Mint Life.'

◆ A Signal of a New Beginning... Office Live Clip Released, Followed by New Release and Performances

Having joined Tapes, Inuin fired the starting gun on their new chapter by releasing a live clip filmed in their agency's office space through their official social media. They plan to continue with new releases and various live performances going forward.
