Nerd Connection

Nerd Connection (Korean너드커넥션) is a four-member South Korean rock band. Nerd Connection formed on 31 May 2017, later officially debuting on 12 August 2018 with their single "Hymn of the Birds". The band's slogan is "(in a) dizzy world, warm music" (Korean: "어지러운 세상, 따뜻한 음악"). Nerd connection's music is heavily inspired by western bands from the 1990s and early 2000s such as Radiohead, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, and Oasis as well as Korean artists such as Kim Kwang-seok, San-ul-rim, and Nell.

Nerd Connection's Seo Young-joo and Choi Seung-wo met at Yonsei University's college band club 'Medusa' in 2012 after they were assigned to the same team. In 2013, Park Jae-hyun joined 'Medusa' as a new member and subsequently teamed up with Young-joo and Seung-wo. In 2017 the three members decided to take up their band activities professionally (previously they had been playing together as a hobby) and recruited Shin Yeon-tae (who had previously worked together with Jae-hyun on a project band) as their drummer.

Nerd Connection writes their song lyrics in both Korean and English. According to the band's vocalist Seo Young-joo, the band writes both a Korean and an English version of their song, afterwards choosing "the language which resonates more". When writing in Korean, their lyrics are reported to be "emotional and beautiful metaphors".

In 2018 Nerd Connection competed at the Emergenza World Band Competition 2018 Korea. The band competed in five preliminary rounds held in Korea, before winning the Korean branch of the competition's final round. The final of the Emergenza world competition was held in Germany. The winning bands from each country performed at the Taubertal Festival 2018 in Germany.

On 5 April 2019, band members Jae-hyun and Young-joo featured in episode 12 of season 6 of I Can See Your Voice. While both members joined as representatives of Nerd Connection, they performed individually. Jae-hyun performed first in the Lip Sync round as a "good" singer. Later in the episode Young-joo performed as a "good singer" in the Evidence round.

Nerd Connection's first EP was released on 6 December 2019. Their EP, Too Fast, runs for 22 minutes and features five songs.

On 22 October 2020, Nerd Connection's fourth single "Back in Time" was released.

On 21 January 2021 the band released their fifth single titled "Time Falling".
