"Why are you doing that? What are you coveting?
You need to know yourself! What the hell are you doing?"
"GLOW resembling Michael Jackson
GLOW, which changed its face several times, also changed its name several times."
Kim Kun-hee is not a politician, but the wife of a leading presidential candidate is in a position similar to a public figure, and there is no law that he will not be satirical as he is surrounded by numerous suspicions. The question is how to deal with it.
'GLOW resembling Michael Jackson' is far from a successful satire The way we attack the original idea is one-dimensional, like the election slogan, but the way we draw the assistant idea is even more serious. Michael Jackson, who was attacked by tabloid magazine's speculation while alive, falls into a means of disparagement in the song. Apart from the logic of the camp, rudeness leaves a deep displeasure.
Songs that directly sniper a particular person are in popular music history. Morrissey, from the British indie rock band The Smiths, sang "Margaret On The Guillotine" in 1988, when Margaret Thatcher was in power, saying she wanted to send Thatcher to the guillotine. Pink of the United States pointed to George W. Bush's conservatism through "Dear Mr. President." In Korea, Lee Seung-hwan called Lee Myung-bak a "god of money" explicitly aimed at him. The songs were all based on the critical consciousness of the day, although there was a difference in degree, and neither of these songs was used up by borrowing the names of those who had nothing to do with the issue.
Ahn Chi-hwan was a singer and pop singer who represented the times. After appearing in the music industry as a member of "People Looking for Songs", he left many famous songs such as "People are more beautiful than flowers" and "If I Am". I liked the wildness of the song "The Dogs": "Solah Sola Blue Sola" is said to have been called from numerous demonstration sites throughout the 90s since the June uprising.
He has continued his music career recently and has been asking the world a meaningful question: The song "Red" released last November discussed the aversion symbolized by McCarthyism. But 'GLOW, which resembles Michael Jackson', is nothing more than music that reproduces another dimension of aversion - no value can be created. Michael Jackson is not a public good for demeaning appearances.
In his own introduction to the song, he said, "The value of satire and humor in resistance songs is always the best artistic virtue." However, contextless ridicule is not a requirement for satire and humor. In addition, Ahn Chi-hwan said, "A world where all kinds of hate and ridicule are divided into the side of the teeth." The song also coincides with the flow of this vulgar era. In this era, where is the song going? I asked myself, but his troubles with Yangbiron sound really empty.
He asked the way the song would Gaya; the way the song of this era would Gaya is not, at least, the way 'GLOW resembling Michael Jackson' goes. When you have to talk about someone more beautiful than flowers, there is no reason to be good at music with misogyny and ridicule. I believe there is a way to satirize without demeaning the appearance of others. An Chi-hwan did not find that way. "GLOW resembling Michael Jackson" symbolizes the aesthetic bankruptcy of an older generation that failed to upgrade, while also pressing down on his past, when he truly sang the times.
