[@marrra]

Didn't you make a video about Kim Sung Jae?

[@FairyBanana]

It's not deleted. But it's blocked in certain Countries. Germany too :/ It must be a song in the last few minutes of the video~ Because there is still a reaction to this video online, and the guy just muted one song in the last few minutes~ So my guess is, that song ist the problem.

Hello everyone, I recently discovered that I am a distant relative of Yoo Jae-ha, a famous Korean singer. My parents mentioned that my dad's uncle was a renowned artist, but I didn't believe it until I looked it up. Although I never met him or attended his funeral (I wasn't born yet), learning about him has deeply touched my heart and made me grieve. It's incredibly meaningful to see how influential he was and how he helped shape the K-pop industry. I want to thank everyone who has created videos and shared memories of my great uncle. Your tributes mean a lot to me and my family. Thank you.

[@clarity2115]

He's an incredible lyricist & musician...Yoo Jae Ha & Hyun Jisik were both incredible & taken too soon

[@normancross1515]

Sad and yet triumphant . . . you have to wonder, had he not had that fatal accident would his work even be recognised today? Like great artists through time, they are not appreciated until they are gone. Thank you for this, Danny. 💝

[@voodoomagic90]

Very accurately put and I couldn't agree more.

[@neozones9648]

how different would Korean music be now if he never got that recognition though

[@seeking-anandam]

I think it would have been recognized eventually, maybe within an year or two cause of how revolutionary it was. He died only 3 months after his first album release, so, is "not appreciated until they're gone" really applicable in this case?

[@koreanteacherkt9554]

Oh... Yoo Jaeha. He should've lived longer. Miss his song.

Yoo Jae-ha was born in 1962, and in his 20s, he wrote and composed the first album (eight songs) myself He died in a car accident when he was 25 years old. Every song is a masterpiece Yoo Jae-ha is the respect and idol of many Korean singers.

[@AestheticCreationsByPreeti]

I heard his song in drama Radio Romance and loved his song 'The covered up road' so much The lyrics are so good 🥺 He will always be outstanding singer-songwriter

There's a movie inspired by Yoo Jae Ha acted by Cha Tae Hyun ( I forgot the title). It was really a great moviee💖

Just 24 years old 🥺. I wonder if he was still alive today, what influence his music would have. Would he also have grown & change etc. Thank you Danny for bringing our attention to some 'history' of Korean music. This vid was great. It was unbiased & not opinionated, just facts. I really enjoyed this & hope you do other great Korean musicians. 💜

[@grownupkidzclub3427]

I really like his "because i love you" song

[@Lizzied1301]

Wow. Well researched. This was mind blowing interesting, as I see a lot of ballad singers with similar style - half classical/half pop. He has definitely made a huge impact on Korean Pop.

[@beckdrop]

Is it just me or does he actually sound way better live than on the studio recordings - like WAY better ?? I think this is the first time I've encountered something like that (at least to this extent)

[@mariab6161]

his life is like a real life kdrama... also, bbong-kki feels like some 80s style nostalgia music, not necessarily the good type of nostalgia, bit more cringy... interesting. sometimes, when i listen to different k-music (diff from what i like, just to give it a go, for curiosity sake), it feels like 80-90s western-style music. is it just me?

[@SEOULITE]

Trot was a genre or expression of Russian folk or popular music from the late 19th or early 20th century, which was introduced to Japan and was renamed Enka. Korea accepted it from Japan and called it Trot. In modern Korea, referring to traditional Korean songs and trot shows confusion, and strictly speaking, Korean traditional folk songs and Trot differ a lot in form. The word 'Pongki' comes from the subtraction of the characteristic rhythm of the trot called 'pong-jjak'. In modern Korea, the trot is gaining huge popularity and forms the mainstream genre of adult contemporary. The tragedy of modern history that Koreans had through the fall of the kingdom and the colonial and civil wars has made this genre, which has maximized popularity such as exaggerated sadness, become the mainstream. In this process, various musical characteristics such as real Korean folk songs and other Western songs were mixed. The trot's melody reflects a unique singing technique by bending the melody. For more than 30 years since Yoo Jae-ha in 1987, younger musicians in Korea have always tried to break away from these trot attributes and make them feel cleaner. However, one of the most modern characteristics of kpop is that it has a dramatic melody compared to pop in the West, which also shows that it is not free from the influence of 'Pongki'. Yoo Jae-ha's music is not only free from the Russian-Japanese-style folk music element of trot, but also creatively incorporates the harmonics of Western classical music and various modern jazz, rock, and pop techniques. This method was unique in the Western pop of the time, and its musical quality was excellent. In addition, in terms of lyrics and singing attitude, he is considered to have rediscovered the attitude of traditional Korean art, "Aibulbi (sad but not tragic), which was known to all Koreans, and established it in a modern way. Many Koreans regard Yoo Jae-ha as the true musical independence of KPOP.

It is so informative for everyone who want to deep dive into kpop landscape, let me add something to be corrected here, "ppogki" presented here as samples isn't correct, ppogki is kind of skills that are used to make a nasal sound with high note, which was very common in "Trot"(very traditional folk song genre that was popular both in Korea and Japan, originally from American pop music in around 40's). and please don't miss that Bang Si hyuck, father of BTS attended in 유재하 song festival before he debuted as a professional songwriter and producer.
