Rux is an influential street punk band from South Korea. They formed in 1996 and released their first recording in 1999. Lead vocalist Won Jong-hee, the only remaining original member, also ran Skunk Label and owned the punk music venue Skunk Hell. They gained notoriety in 2005 when friends of the band undressed on stage during the live nationwide broadcast of an episode of MBC concert show Music Camp.[1]
Rux
Jonghee of Rux performs in Skunk Hell on March 31, 2007.
Rux was formed in 1996[2] when the punk music scene centered on Club Drug and Crying Nut. The name "Rux" is synonymous with "Ruckus".[3]
Rux released several songs on compilations and went through numerous personnel changes before releasing the seven-song compilation I Gatta Go. The title refers to conscription in South Korea for all Korean males, which frequently breaks up Korean bands.[4] Following the release, the band went on hiatus from 1999 to 2002 while Won Jong-hee served in the military.[5]
Skunk Labeledit
Won Jong-hee owned and operated Skunk Label, a DIY record label for Korean punk bands founded in July 1998. Skunk Label went on hiatus while Won served his military duty. After Won returned in 2002, Skunk Label released We are the Punx in Korea, a 30-track compilation CD that has been described as the "Rosetta stone" of Korean punk rock.[6]
Skunk Helledit
Under the banner of Skunk Label, Won operated two live music venues, called Skunk Hell.
The first venue, located between Hongik University and Sinchon, was an obscure basement venue described as the size of a "good-sized living room".[7]
The second Skunk Hell opened in Hongdae area in January 2004 in the former location of Club Drug. Eventually weekly management of the live music schedule was handed over to Ryu Cheol-hwan of punk band Suck Stuff. At the end of 2008, Skunk Hell officially closed its doors, with Ryu and Won citing waning finances and the inability to secure a liquor licence, as well as market saturation of competing live music venues.[8] Skunk Hell closed its doors and Skunk Label fell out of use, as both Rux and Suck Stuff were quickly signed to Dope Records.
Skunk Hell opened in its third location in Mullae-dong in 2015.[9]
