Yo, guys. It's the ranking ace guy, man. Today, we gonna rank nu metal bands from South Korea, man. OK, so, Imma be honest with you, this one gona be hard. Why? Well... The fact there is no latin alphabet means I couldn't know how to write with my keyboard, so I'll just find their track on Discogs and copy-paste it, maybe add Track # too, unless it's already translated. Anyway, let's freaking, frigging GO!
