Benny Char is a Korean American songwriter, guitarist, and producer. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and spent most of his life in Seoul, South Korea. Benny graduated from Seoul International School and is currently attending Berklee College of Music as a Contemporary Writing and Production major. With his partnership with CJ E&M, Benny released his debut album “GENESIS” in 2016.  Random question..! Do you ever wonder what's going on inside fellow Korean men's heads when they’re about to leave for mandatory Korean military service? This has been a rule for Korean citizens (men only) for many years now, but I personally feel that there are some unspoken truth/voices about how these men really feel about it. Especially as a musician, it can be worrisome to be on a pause with their music for a couple of months. That’s why I’ve invited Benny Char to ‘grab coffee’ with me to discuss about his mental health of his preparation before, during, and after his service. Find out more behind the scene and how this mandatory service will change affect his music career. Thank you for joining us for coffee ☕
