시은의 아빠 이야기(Sieun's Dad's Story)

Sieun's dad had two songs from the same album that were ranked first on Music Bank (then called 'Gayo Top Ten') for five consecutive weeks. He composed most of the album. This record was the second since Cho Yong-pil, the unrivaled top singer in Korea since 1945.

However, Sieun's dad was dissatisfied with demands to make old-style music, and focused on making new music that he wanted.

When Sieun's dad made new-style music, his backup dancers had already left him and became independent. They formed 'Seo Taiji and Boys' with members of a metal band. Their group became the second most famous act in Korea since 1945, and helped define the modern identity of K-pop artists. One of the dancers is now called YG Papa. Another became the first singer for SM.

Conclusion: Sieun’s dad stood between two generations of Korea’s most legendary artists. He brought modern dance music to the scene and reached for the throne. But a monumental new paradigm had already begun, and it was too great for one man to overcome alone. Now, his daughter Sieun is part of STAYC—and she is no longer alone. He had advised his daughter from a young age, “Never look only at the glamour.” He also told her, “The passion of youth is not easy to carry into old age. Think about how you can sing for a lifetime because you truly love it.” Though he retired from the music industry after experiencing burnout, he returned to music when Sieun was born.
