"Good evening, everyone, this is the first time in nearly 20 years that I have come to Busan to participate in the music festival, and I don't think the audience in the audience knows me as an old man!"

Wearing a plaid suit and short white hair, Shin Chong-hyun walked out of the side with a bass on his back, he really looked like a little old man, but he looked extraordinarily energetic at the moment, and after this brief introduction was finished, there were huge cheers below, looking extremely fanatical, and there were really no Korean rock fans in the audience who didn't know this little old man, and there were even many Japanese masters in their forties and fifties.

"Daihatsu!"

Behind the stage, a few girls and Kim Taeyeon and others were also shocked to open their mouths, and they could only feel the frenzy of this large-scale music festival when they were present at the scene, in fact, this time the Busan Tourism Bureau was really good, and so was Kwon Jin-seok, I don't know how much it took to invite this uncle, which created the current frenzied situation, and the audience today has at least more than 70% of rock fans, which is completely different from the current situation where Korean celebrations and concerts are often occupied by IDOL fans.

You must know that IDOL fans are basically people who only cheer for their idols, so unless it is a solo concert, it is difficult to receive such cheers.

However, among these people at the moment, Kim Taeyeon and others are still fortunate to have felt it, but it is a pity that they are applauded, but it is far from the fanaticism of the audience now.

On the stage, Yoon Do-hyun also walked to the center, but he was very respectful and didn't say anything, because Shin Chong-hyun took advantage of this atmosphere to stand under the microphone and say with a smile 'Let's start', which also means that the Busan Rock Festival has really begun.

This cool old-timer has made the eyes of several classmates under the stage green, Lee Ji-eun and Choi Joon-hee, both eyes are shining, both of them have always wanted to be the kind of singer with bright colors, hope to make their own music, and have had a lot of hard work. But a lot of it is seen on TV, and it is really difficult for those senior singers in the Korean music industry to see the scene anymore.

And the picture in front of me at this moment really shocked the two girls who had just started on the road, and there is no doubt that for the Korean music industry, this is the real legendary pioneer.

There is also Kim Taeyeon, she has been thinking about what kind of stage is the highest stage, and at this moment she suddenly realized that the shining of the stage is because of the existence of people, not because of the self-luminescence of the stage. It seems that at this moment I have found a direction to work on.

If you want to pick two of the most popular songs of 1974, one is "Beauty" released by Shin Jung-hyun in August, and the other is "Please Give Me Water" by Han Dae-so. Both songs are very creative and unique, and the lyrics are also very interesting and very popular. Although the song did not contain a political message, the students who promoted the democratization movement adapted the lyrics and sang them.

Shin Jong-hyun's "Beauty" is a piece of music that showcases the rock, punk rock, and psychedelic colors that were popular all over the world at the time.

In fact, Shin Chonghyun's status is also the finale, but today's stage was requested by himself, so there was an opening performance.

But in two songs. The first music to sound is not "Beauty", but "Beautiful Rivers", which is more familiar to most Koreans in modern times.

At the end of 1975, Shin received an unexpected request from the Blue House to make a song in praise of President Park Chung-hee. But he directly refused.

Immediately afterwards, Shin Chong-hyun wrote a song that praised the beauty of Korea's land and natural scenery and hoped for peace in the world, called "Beautiful Rivers".

But in December 1975. Shin was arrested for the marijuana scandal and imprisoned in a psychiatric hospital for the next two years. When he was released in 1977, his songs were still banned. Then. Lyrical songs and dance music began to be loved, but rock music was still not accepted by the masses.

After Shin was imprisoned, the popularity of Korean rock music gradually waned, but despite this, rock music did not disappear in South Korea. The band Sanulim somewhat filled the void of Shin Joong-hyun. A new band appeared not for the U.S. military, but for Korean audiences. After entering the 80s, heavy metal bands such as Resurrection, Baekdu Mountain, and Shin Dae-cheol, Shin Dae-cheol, Shin Chong-hyun's eldest son, began to appear.

In the 21st century, Korean rock music completely lost its mainstream market, and many bands were successful in the early days, but after joining a brokerage company, they were transformed to create music that met the market, and many bands fell apart as a result.

Sadly, Korean rock fans, in addition to continuing to chase European, American, and British rock music, can only hold on to old songs from the past for comfort, or find some hope from many indie bands.

But famous songs are always famous songs, and the song "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" may have been banned in that era because of the government, and Shin Chong-hyun was out of prison for a period of time and slowly stopped, but his works are still covered by many people.

Among them, the most famous cover singer is naturally Lee Sun-hee, and the song "Beautiful Rivers and Mountains" has set off a heat wave in the sensitive period between the north and the south, perhaps many Koreans have forgotten the original singing and creation of this song The era and background are far farther away than then.

"The sky is blue

The clouds are white

The breeze blows

Blows my heart ......"

The slightly hoarse voice can completely hear the feeling of annual rings, but it will still bring people a sense of excitement, and Korean rock fans under the stage can't help but open their mouths.

"The leaves are turquoise

The river is also turquoise

In this beautiful place

With me you're ......"

The little girls off the stage saw the opening chorus of 10,000 people for the first time, and the sound that shook the sea, even Park Ji-yeon, who has been working hard for the dream of being an actor, had envy and inexplicable expectations.

The festival has just begun.

"Hand in hand, walk forward

Running away toward the wilderness

We get together

Talk about that, new hope

The sky is blue

The clouds are white

The breeze blows

It touched my heart

Such a beautiful place

Proud place

It's my hometown

The red sun shone brightly

The blue sea is with me

How wonderful it is

The first place we live

Sing with your loved ones

After the warm spring and cool summer have passed

Autumn and winter will come

Beautiful and picturesque country

Your heart

My heart

You and I are of one mind

You and me

We will always be forever

Love will be forever and forever

We're all going to be all

Incomparably in love with each other

…………

Outside the fence of the festival venue, there are still a lot of spectators, at this time, it may be more sensible to be a little behind, at least this way you can still see the big screen, as for the sound there is no need to worry at all, the effect of the chorus of 10,000 people is shocking

"Endi, it looks like it's going to be difficult to become a star today, and I made a mistake in prediction!"

"Huh?"

"What did Abba say?" (To be continued......)
