Singer Park Hye-kyung said she does not hold the copyrights to the songs that became hot topics through remakes.
On the 6th, a new video was released on the YouTube channel One Mic titled "Hit singer who lost her voice and left the entertainment industry.. moving comeback story."
That day Park Hye-kyung said she appeared on a music show for the first time in 10 years and recalled, "When I sang the climax there were cheers, so I thought I should work hard."
Park Hye-kyung, who released several hit songs including "Goodbye," "Confession," and "Red Sneakers," received great love, and her songs have been remade and loved again by various juniors such as Red Velvet's Joy, IU, Jang Beomjune, and LE SSERAFIM's Kim Chaewon.
Park Hye-kyung recalled, "But they don't know it as my song. I did a busking not long ago. I saw quite a few mothers and daughters; the mother thought it was my song, but the daughter said, 'This is Joy's song,' 'This is IU's song.' I couldn't just let that go, so I asked, 'Do you know this song? It's my song,' and they were surprised."
While royalties were expected to be considerable because of remakes by juniors, Park Hye-kyung said, "I wrote lyrics and composed, and the songs I wrote became popular worldwide. But when I was struggling I sold the copyrights. Years ago. Joy remade the song 'Goodbye' and they said it topped charts in 27 countries. It's not mine anymore, so well.."
She continued, "I think there was an article about IU. The royalties increased 180 times, and it's said to be that company's number one. Because I sold them when I was struggling, that incident sticks in my memory," and added, "As years pass and I get older, not for a second do I feel regret. I think, 'It's fate.'"
