Sanulrim
Encyclopedia
Sanulrim also spelled as Sanullim, is a South Korean power trio rock band. They are probably the first rock band who gained musical achievement from K-pop
or themselves, not from US/UK scene. In spite of their originality they tried to experiments from song for kids to progressive/psychedelic rock. They never copied other musician's song. The name is 'san'(산, mountain) + 'ullim'(울림, echo). Sanulrim quit its act after death of drummer Kim Chang-ik(김창익) in 2008.

Before debut, college band Sand Pebbles won The MBC College K-pop Festival (1977) with Kim Chang-hoon's song '나 어떡해(What Shall I Do)'.
