History
The name “Bin-Jip” ("empty houses”) originates from the Korean movie with the same name, which is a well-liked movie of the members. The strange story of the movie took place in apartments and rooms showing similarity with the band’s history, which was born in Andrew J’s living-room. That is where their first songs were written and the musicians create a band.
Three young musicians are behind the odd-sounding name Bin-Jip, Veronika Harcsa as singer and writer, Bálint Gyémánt as guitarist and Andrew J as producer and DJ.
