Nowadays, teen music is prevailing in korea, There are too many idols of countless teenagers.
but By the time 1980's , korean people had few or no cultures matching with teenagers. The main cultures only aimed at more than 20years old, and teenagers had no choice but chose one of those as a representative showing their needs. but that situation suddenly changed within the next decade with the advent of a innovational singer "Seo tai ji" at 1992.
Only when He appeared, teenagers could begin to enjoy privileges raising their voices against seniors. and since then they have been holding a dominant position in the music industry of korea and seniors never take it a back. but his music was welcomed not only by teenagers but also by seniors from 20 to 50 years old overall.
At that time seo tai ji's music was so popular that even spies from north korea had to memorize the lyrics of his songs to accomplish their mission successfully.
The debut album of him was "I do know" , in which Seo tai ji performed his musical world with style of rapping. Even though korean people knew the rap music came from America at the moment but were not quite familiar with it until "I do konw" album.
The second album showed people how to treat metal music combined with korean traditional musical instrument. That was first attempt no one did not dare to do. Especially, the song "hayeaga" can shows you that.
