Crush

Crush is active as of 2026-11-15.

Crush is known to have first considered "C-sub" as his English stage name, but when a friend misread it as "Crush," he liked it and adopted it. A name that began by chance has since become the name everyone associates with his music, both in Korea and abroad.

Crush debuted on April 1, 2014, with the single "Sometimes." On June 5 of the same year, he released his first full-length album, Crush On You. Listening to the debut single and the first album together is a good way to feel where his music began.

Crush is managed by P NATION, which he signed with in 2019. Official news about his releases and concerts is announced through P NATION and his official channels. For the latest updates, rely on the agency's notices rather than unofficial accounts, since plans and schedules can change.

Widely known Crush songs include "Just" (2015) with Zion.T, "Don't Forget" (2016) featuring Taeyeon, "Beautiful" from the soundtrack of the drama Goblin, and "Rush Hour" (2022) featuring j-hope. If you are new to his music, these tracks are a good place to start.

"Just" is a song Zion.T and Crush released together in February 2015. The blend of their very different voices made it hugely popular, and it won Best Collaboration at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) that same year. It is a natural choice for fans of either singer.

Crush is known to have been a member of the hip-hop crew Fanxy Child since 2016. He has worked on music and shared stages with the crew's members. It offers a chance to hear collaborative music that feels different from his solo releases and shows his ties to the hip-hop scene.

Crush's music is rooted in R&B and hip-hop and is known for his smooth vocals. On his second full-length album, From Midnight To Sunrise (2019), he also added jazz elements. As a singer-songwriter and producer, he has been closely involved in creating his own songs.

Crush won Best R&B and Soul Album at the 2015 Korean Music Awards for his first full-length album, Crush On You. At the 2016 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA), he won Best Vocal Performance Male Solo. For full details of his other awards, check each ceremony's official records.

Start with the widely known songs "Beautiful" and "Don't Forget," then move on to "Just" and "Rush Hour." After that, his debut song "Sometimes" and his first full-length album Crush On You let you compare his early work with his later music.
