TOUCHED

TOUCHED (터치드) is a four-member South Korean co-ed band under MPMG MUSIC. Fronted by Yunmin with Kim Seungbin, John B. Kim, and Chae Dohyeon, the group built its name on live-musician intensity, pairing alt-rock weight with melodic hooks that still land on first listen.

The band broke through in 2020 when "Blue" won the grand prize at the 31st Yoo Jae Ha Music Contest, making TOUCHED the first band-format act to take the top prize in the competition's history. Their official debut followed in January 2021 with "The Dawn Star," then the EP Purple, which established their emotional, high-impact sound.

TOUCHED pushed that rise into the mainstream by winning MBC's Great Seoul Invasion in 2022. They have kept that momentum moving through releases like "Hi Bully" and 2025 single "Moondance (달춤)," while building one of the strongest live-band reputations in Korea's current scene.
