Biography
Before Superstar K3
Participation in Superstar K3
Busker Busker auditioned for the 3rd season of the Korean audition show Superstar K. They were eliminated from the TV show after performing the song Juliet with another auditioning group, Two Gae Wol. However, despite only making the top 48 of the contestants to tryout, the band that made top 10 quit. As a result, Busker Busker was given a second chance to appear on the TV show. Busker Busker's first song on the show, Tokyo Girl, was extremely popular and the band survived elimination round after elimination round. Eventually, the last episode of the season was the final competition between the two remaining groups, Busker Busker and Oolala Session, with Oolala Session winning the competition.
Post-Superstar K3
Since the completion of Superstar K the group has been highly elusive and took time off from public activities to determine their music direction[1]. This was in part due to the difficulty the band has communicating and practicing.
