A song festival that became the debut stage for famous Korean singers

festival
The 1970s was the period when representative music festivals of Korea began to emerge. Song festivals were a culture and a festival in Korea at the time.

After the Korean War in the 1950s, there were popular music listening rooms such as C'est si bon, but TV and radio were almost all means to inform the public of music. However, it was very difficult for a new singer to appear on TV and radio. In the 1970s, MBC broadcasting station in Korea made the debut stage for new singers by making "College Song Festival" and "Riverside Song Festival". As MBC's "University Song Festival" succeeded, another Korean broadcasting station, TBC, created "Beach Song Festival" and the era of the song festival began. Famous Korean singers Shin Hae-chul, Sim Soo-bong, Bae Chul-soo, and Koo Chang-mo are singers from the music festival. Currently, many music festivals disappear as music programs in which viewers directly participate come out.

In the 1960s, the genre of rock was still unfamiliar in Korea. Currently (in 2022) one of the best songs ever, "Lovers in the Rain" didn't catch on in the 1960s.

Shin Ji-hyun not only sings, but also has excellent composing and producing skills. Shin Ji-hyun composed and produced music for famous singers from the 1960s to the 1970s, such as Lee Jung-hwa, Pearl Sisters, and Kim Chu-ja.

Sanwoolim's song "Youth" was remade by famous Korean singer Feel Kim. Sanwoolim's song "Youth" was released in 1981, but at that time "Youth" was banned from being released. The reason the song "Youth" was banned was because it was too sad. Fortunately, the song "Youth" has become a song everyone can hear with a slight change in the lyrics.
