Their music blends punk rock with traditional Korean influences, creating a distinct sound that has captivated audiences for decades. Crying Nut’s debut album, Speed Up Losers, released in 1998, was a massive success, selling over 100,000 copies and establishing them as a cornerstone of Korean punk.
