There was a rumor that if you played 날아라 병아리 backwards, you hear "내가 죽였어, 얄리는 내가 죽였어." But it was vastly overshadowed by 서태지's 교실이데아 thing (aka "피가 모잘라" + rumor that 서태지 wrote the song in a 폐가 and what we were hearing was actually Satan).bumfromkoreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06153488376014405461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-25855642330466552392010-11-16T19:27:42.469-05:002010-11-16T19:27:42.469-05:00Wait, what rumor?

It's the music that played in the background during my childhood. I used to hate it, but now I listen to it occasionally when I'm feeling rather nostalgic. It brings back memories of simpler times.<br /><br />Definitely not a big fan of Jang Yoon Jeong, however her impact in the Korean music scene definitely grants her merit in your compilation. She has brought Trot music into the mainstream and several young female singers have followed suit to imitate her success. She has the ability of garnering support because she is easily likeable. Without a doubt she will continue to be a presence in the scene since it'll be way easier for her to continue her music career way into her 50's, 60's, and beyond-- considering that once female pop singers hit the brick wall of turning 30 their popularity and likelihood of a successful comeback is typically zilch.<br /><br />In another note, I agree with kignusonic. It would be great if you write one for Jang Gi Ha. It's the first time I've listen to his music (thanks to your blog) and I've become a fan!xuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681623894114570589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-19105483024798388062010-11-16T01:11:52.071-05:002010-11-16T01:11:52.071-05:00장기하 will be sorely missed, but I feel that 장윤정 des...장기하 will be sorely missed, but I feel that 장윤정 deserved it more. With 장기하, there's the constant danger of him being too gimmicky (or at least being perceived as gimmicky) and/or him having relatively short stardom/influence.<br /><br />What 장윤정 achieved was incredible (even though I'm not a fan of trot (not by a LONG shot))... it's like bringing back bluegrass into the mainstream and have teenagers willingly listen to it in the States. It would have been too bad if she wasn't mentioned in the list.<br /><br />And I second the motion for a write-up (short blurb, even) for 장기하.

The over-the-top voices, cheesy lyrics and weird instruments (I feel like I hear accordions a lot) make it interesting for me. <br /><br />Jang Yoon-jeong is actually a good musician though.A Deal Or No Dealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03846366896375330656noreply@blogger.com
