It's #KpopMonday, and for the #SadSong theme: IU and Seo Taiji's Sogyeokdong (소격동): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHu39FEFIks

Melancholy lyrics about memory and disappearance, and an MV with a cute story of a boy and a girl, but filled with dread just out of sight...

The MV is set in a specific historical context of South Korea in the 1980s, from Seo Taiji's childhood: https://askakorean.blogspot.com/2014/10/history-behind-seo-taijis-sogyeokdong.html

The Seo Taiji MV version makes the story even more clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH0iiU0cv00

In the mid-90s Seo Taiji and Boys were effectively the first K-pop group. Sure there was Korean pop music, such as trot, but this trio was the blueprint for much of the Hallyu Wave music.

Also, noteworthy that Yang Hyun-suk went on to found YG Entertainment, one of the key companies in the industry.

Yay! It's #KPopMonday. The theme this week is #HistoricalConcepts. So, the first thing that comes to mind is Seo Taiji's Sogyeokdong (소격동) which is on one hand a love-story set in his childhood neighbourhood, but is also about life under military dictatorship in South Korea in the late 1970s and early 80s and the democracy movement.

There are two versions that were released sequentially - IU's version first:
