It has been 24 years since the late Hyun-in (real name Hyun Dong-ju), "Korea's No. 1 singer," passed away.
On April 13, 2002, Koh Hyun-in died of complications from diabetes, a chronic disease. He was 82.
Born in December 1919, Koh Hyun-in majored in vocal music at the Ueno Music School (now Tokyo University of the Arts) in Tokyo, Japan. To avoid the draft at the end of the Japanese colonial rule, he moved to Shanghai, China, where he worked as a musical troupe, and returned to Seoul after liberation.
The deceased, Korea's No. 1 singer, was greatly loved for his numerous masterpieces such as "Silla's Moon Night," "Besamemucho," "Love in Dreams," "Stay Strong, Geumsoon," "Rainy Auntie," "Good Night Jeonwoo," "Seoul Night Song" and "Lucky Seoul."
Until 2000, he continued his active activities, such as touring the country through the musical "Do You Know That Show Then", but stopped working due to diabetes, a chronic disease.
In honor of the late Hyun-in, a legend living in the Korean music industry, in his hometown of Busan, is it Hyun-in every yearI'm being held.
