Lucy band member Choi Sang-yeop perfectly reinterpreted the late Kim Kwang-seok's classic.
Choi Sang-yeop appeared on the second part of KBS 2TV's Immortal Songs' special commemorating the 30th anniversary of the late Kim Kwang-seok, which aired in the afternoon on the 21st.
Making his first solo appearance on Immortal Songs, Choi Sang-yeop selected Kim Kwang-seok's "Those Days." From the calm introduction, Choi Sang-yeop immediately captivated viewers with his distinctive, unique vocal tone, and as the song moved into the latter half he perfectly conveyed the exploding, delicate emotional line in his own color, proving his stable vocal ability.
In particular, Choi Sang-yeop has performed at Hakjeon, the small theater in Daehangno that was Kim Kwang-seok's musical base. Choi Sang-yeop summoned the "Those Days" he sang at that performance onto the stage, evoking memories of those times for listeners and leaving them deeply moved and lingering feelings.
Moreover, Choi Sang-yeop briefly delivered "Where the Wind Blows," conveying emotion that spans generations. In this way, with only an acoustic guitar and his voice, Choi Sang-yeop delivered an overwhelming resonance and reaffirmed his worth as a "a vocal you can trust."
Both the cast and viewers heaped praise. "He looks like a young Kim Kwang-seok," "He is my number one," "It felt like seeing a portrait of youth. It unexpectedly moved me," "I thought a CD was playing," and other favorable comments poured in.
Lucy, which includes Choi Sang-yeop, plans to actively pursue musical activities, including holding a full-group solo concert at KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Songpa District, Seoul, in May.
