JANG* KIHA AND THE FACES / 장기하와 얼굴들
From South Korea
*It's sometimes written "Jang" or "Chang".
I like their creative and low-budget yet simple video for their song "A Twosome", featuring the hands of the members :

It's an indie Korean band that you have to know. A full article in 2009 by Dramabeans introduced well the band and gave a lot of information about it. Seoul Beats also mentioned them in 2011 here. They're very good musicians full of energy, and the "leader" Jang Kiha is an charismatic singer and great songwriter. They're kind of different from the other indie Korean bands, they have that fresh side in their songs and unexpected interactive performances with the audience. There was an interesting short video interview of the band by The Creators Project. The band was initially formed with the back dancers, the Mimi Sisters. Now they're a six-piece band and are also known as "Kiha Faces".

Jang Kiha and The Faces - "It Was Good Until / 좋다 말았네"
It is described as "artsy yet funny" by Eat Your Kimchi. It looks like a video of Korean cooking recipes that was perfect until the sudden ending... I'm still shocked... (Why did they do that ?!!)
