STORY OF K-POP

《The Hymn of Death》 is the title track of an album released by the first Korean soprano Yoon Shim-deok in August 1926, during the Japanese colonial period. It was the first Korean album to be released in Japan.

Yoon Shim-deok, who sang this song like the lyrics to glorify death, became a hot topic when she committed suicide with his lover Kim Woo-jin in Korean Strait during her return to Korea.

This song became popular after Yoon Shim-duk’s tragic companion suicide, and became a song that symbolized the trend of free love. Because it is originally a waltz, it is a light tune. However, it was played slowly to preserve a pitiful and tragic feeling.
