That’s certainly a change of style for Dreamcatcher (not surprising since they finished their Dystopia series), the instrumental melody kind of reminds me of Red Sun.
BewhY also made Side by Side for Sweet Home.

Some old school Korean music: 김광석-너무 아픈사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을 - YouTube. Kim Kwang Seok’s lyrics are true poetry. Note: Google translate doesn’t quite do justice…a shame.
"As if leaving you and saying goodbye to the autumn birds far away
그대 보내고 멀리 가을새와 작별하듯
If I let you go and come back and sit in front of a glass of wine, do you share tears?
그대 떠나 보내고 돌아와 술잔 앞에 앉으면 눈물 나누나
When I let you go and look at the starlight that sets
그대 보내고 아주 지는 별빛 바라볼 때
Can I erase that painful love?
눈에 흘러 내리는 못다한 말들 그 아픈 사랑 지울 수 있을까
On the streets where the rain scatters like memories on any day
어느 하루 비라도 추억처럼 흩날리는 거리에서
When I become a lonely love and bow my head, your voice
쓸쓸한 사랑 되어 고개 숙이면 그대 목소리
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을
One day the wind brushed past my wet shoulders
어느 하루 바람이 젖은 어깨 스치며 지나가고
I hate you when my exhausted time is on the window
내 지친 시간들이 창에 어리면 그대 미워져
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을
Now let’s never come into the world with love again
이제 우리 다시는 사랑으로 세상에 오지 말기
A love that can’t be buried even with the words I longed for
그립던 말들도 묻어 버리기 못다한 사랑
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을
A love that hurts so much wasn’t love
너무 아픈 사랑은 사랑이 아니었음을"
Perhaps somebody could provide a suggestion… Defiantly not into K-Pop nor am I an EDM “guy”. But is there anything out there that is more instrumental or a live band focus for Korean music? Perhaps something more vocal or female vocal forward?
I do enjoy “traditional” music for various cultures (samba, flamenco, blue grass/americana). So not sure if Korean music has an equivalent.
Here are a few I’ve found. There are probably many more styles out there–music can vary a lot between historical periods and locations.
A song from the pansori Simcheongga
Sanjo performance (instrumental)
ADG7’s music is based on ritual/folk songs from Hwanghae province of North Korea.
There is also a segment that introduces some traditional instruments (10:33).
