Cosmos is a student-initiated indie band based in Ulsan. The band consists of three students from the University of Ulsan: leader and guitarist Geum Gunwoo, a second-year Chemical Engineering student; vocalist Jang Hyerim, a fourth-year English Language and Literature student; and percussionist Jeon Jinho, a second-year Chemical Engineering student. They were formed in 2010 and have since released several covers as well as self-composed songs. After a long hiatus of nineteen months due to Gunwoo and Jinho serving their military enlistment, the band is now back with their newest song, "Your Winter."

QUESTION 1!
Who came up with the band name and what does it mean?
Hyerim: We all came up with several ideas for the band name before settling on "Cosmos," which refers to the universe as an orderly and harmonious system. We want to bring peace and harmony to people's lives through our music while also challenging ourselves to reach beyond the stars for success.
QUESTION 2!
How did you guys meet?
Gunwoo: Hyerim and I have known each other since elementary school. We went to the same English academy and the same church when we were kids. Jinho and I met in our first year of university, since we're both in the same major, and we ended up bonding over our mutual love for music.
QUESTION 3!
How would you describe the music that you typically create?
Gunwoo: We typically compose acoustic pop ballads or slow, emotional songs with lyrics that people can relate to. We also do acoustic covers of popular K-Pop songs.
QUESTION 4
What are your favourite music genres and what kind of music are you listening to recently?
Gunwoo: I love and listen to all genres of music, although I do have a slight preference for ballads which is why I usually end up composing those. But I'll give anything a listen at least once.
Hyerim: My favorite genres of music are pop and jazz. I listen to a lot of mainstream Western music, and a few songs that I'm still looping to this day are "Payphone" by Maroon 5 and "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen.
Jinho: I lean more towards rock music, especially alternative rock. I've also started listening to EDM recently.
