MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Blending lo-fi intimacy with soulful melodies and a hint of pop-punk nostalgia, Korean-American artist hyoon returns with “Stupid For You”, a moody, confessional single about the addictive draw of someone you can’t let go — even when you should.

Using cigarette addiction as a metaphor for toxic love, the track floats on soft guitar, minimalistic beats, and layered vocals that build into an emotional crescendo.

“It’s about knowing you should walk away… but not being able to. That push-pull of emotional addiction,” says hyoon.

The single follows hyoon’s 2024 debut EP Journal Entries and deepens his signature sound — a fusion of bedroom pop, soul, and lo-fi indie. Inspired by artists like Rex Orange County, Keshi, and Frank Ocean, hyoon crafts music that feels both familiar and raw. With its warm textures and emotional honesty, “Stupid For You” would sit perfectly on playlists like sad hour, Alternative R&B, Fresh Finds R&B, bedroom pop, Late Night Vibes, and R&B Chill — the kind of tracks that soundtrack quiet breakdowns and blurry 2 a.m. drives.

With a sound that bridges emotional vulnerability and hazy production, hyoon would be a natural fit on tour alongside artists like Keshi, Joji, RINI, d4vd, dhruv, and Grentperez — artists who similarly blur the lines between genres and moods.
