Singer Oh Seung-ha will release a new song that conveys sincere love and consolation for his father.
Oh Seung-ha's new song "Father," set to be released at 12 p.m. on the 13th, looks back on a father's life of quietly walking for his family over many years and expresses feelings of respect and gratitude.
It is a tribute to all fathers who have walked quietly on the road of life and their families, and a story of parents and children that remains in all of our hearts and resonates. It is also a message to everyone who wants to remember and be grateful for someone's dedication and love, not only the father's generation.
The repeated lines in the chorus, "You truly worked hard / You truly endured well," are not mere praise but confessions born from heartfelt gratitude toward the family that shared the hardships of time, which adds emotion. The final line, "Now take my hand and walk with me," signifies a warm intergenerational bond asking parents and children to rely on each other and live together.
Oh Seung-ha showed active involvement in the new song and participated in the jacket work. The cover image was actually created based on the appearances of Oh Seung-ha and his father, and the handwriting was written by Oh Seung-ha himself, showing his sincere attitude toward the new song.
Composer Kang In-won, who created the song, said, "As a trot singer with a background in gugak who shows a clear and pure voice while also conveying a certain palpable sadness, I wanted to convey Oh Seung-ha's unique voice as the moving respect and love for his father, and we were able to complete the recording work perfectly."
Moved to tears during the recording by the poignant emotions for his father, Oh Seung-ha asked for support for the new song, saying, "Even in a harsh world, my father bore the weight of life with bowed shoulders; enduring the years as his hair turned white and protecting his love, that figure conveys heartfelt consolation and thanks in the song."
Oh Seung-ha, a bearer of the national intangible cultural heritage Gyeonggi minyo, became known to the public through "Miss Trot 3" and has performed with songs such as "Happy ajusshi" and "Bundang Night" on 2025 festival stages and traditional performance stages.
