Silica Gel (Korean: 실리카겔) is a South Korean indie rock band, formed in Ansan in 2013 and based in Seoul. The band currently consists of Kim Han-joo (vocalist and keyboardist), Kim Geon-jay (drummer), Kim "Chunchu" Min-su (guitarist and vocalist), and Choi Woong-hee (bassist). The band's name was created after the members noticed silica gel in their gum container before the 2013 Pyeongchang Biennale art festival.
Since their formation in 2013, the band has released two studio albums with Silica Gel (실리카겔) (2016) and Power Andre 99 (2023). They won Rookie of the Year in 2017, Best Modern Rock Song in 2022 and 2023, and Musician of the Year in 2024 at the Korean Music Awards.
