Connecticut native Jim Wolf came up through the folk-pop singer/songwriter boom of the mid-2000s, releasing a handful of independent albums before suddenly achieving mainstream success in South Korea. "Make You My Lady," an acoustic love song he released in 2012, was unexpectedly adopted by the K-pop community after being prominently featured during a 2014 South Korean celebrity wedding. The song enjoyed perennial chart success into the next decade and became something of a staple on several popular K-dramas and other television shows. Wolf's third installment of his Strange, Weird, and Romantic series was released in 2021.
