Watched yesterday's Entertainment Weekly episode and the rising comeback of veteran singers caught on as a segment. Quite true, even I felt the impact of the great singers. For example, Park Hyo Shin's Wild Flower - it was also my first k-pop review.
Frankly, I love this whole oldies revival movement. There's something reminiscent and reflective about their music - or maybe I'm just more of a ballade and less in-sync-dancing kind of person. *cough cough to all idol groups I use to be obsessed with*
I guess there's that element of trust in legendary artists who've kept present in our minds for the past decades.
So to name a few out there, you've got Park Hyo Shin, Lim Chang Jung, Jo Sung Mo, Cho Young Pil, Lee Seung Hwan, Lee Eun Mi, Lee Sora and last but not least, Lee Sun Hee.
They have the ability to produce great music that suits all ages and genders. Also, the fact that some of them are sweeping the top of the charts without even appearing on television once determines their skill, quality, and influence.
Alright, enough on Korea's veteran singers now. Have a listen to Lee Sun Hee's Meet him among them. I love the classic, soft natured, nostalgic and relatable theme of the music video. Plus, liked the whole rewind-Lee Sun Hee's-memories selection of videos towards the end of the mv. The dramatic yet slowly paced evolution of the different stories embellishes the little yet important minutes of our daily lives - at least that was the message I felt from first impression.
Listening and watching the mv with my headphones on, the impact of the video plus music grows immensely after each hearing. You don't have to know exactly what she's saying, anyone can understand it if it's true music. *cheese to the max - sorry guys but it's got to be said*
