2. The Song You Must Listen to: IU – “Never Ending Story”
This week, we’d like to highlight a special song:
“Never Ending Story” by IU (아이유) – ranked #17 on the chart.
IU is one of Korea’s most beloved solo artists. She often releases remake albums called “꽃갈피 (Flower Bookmark)”, where she sings older Korean classics with her own style.
“Never Ending Story” is a remake of a legendary Korean ballad originally sung by Lee Seung-Chul (이승철) of the iconic rock band Boohwal (부활).
Before the rise of modern K-POP idols, this song represented the heart of traditional Korean ballad music. It’s a timeless piece that many Koreans hold close to their hearts.
Lee Seung-Chul is widely respected as a "national singer" of Korea, and this remake by IU brings his legacy to a new generation with warmth and elegance.
3. Why This Matters
While much of K-POP today focuses on powerful choreography, fashion, and global appeal, songs like “Never Ending Story” remind us of Korea’s deep musical roots. IU’s soft voice and emotional delivery breathe new life into this classic.
It’s a perfect blend of past and present, showing the diversity and depth of Korean music culture.
