대중 음악 속의 스토리텔링 - 영어(English)

In Korea, Korean fathers often play the role of a distant money-making machine without much time to interact with the family. A distant father figure might deepen their loneliness and establish an awkward relationship between a father and children. The lonely father figure is often portrayed in Korean songs. The Korean hip hop duo Dynamic Duo, in their song “Father,” reflects on the memories of and mixed emotions toward their scary and seemingly lonely father. In the R&B song “Father,” South Korea’s acclaimed R&B diva Insooni delivers a recollective autobiographical story about the awkward relationship she had with her unapproachable father who still saw his daughter as more precious than anyone. In each of their songs, both titled “Father,” Insooni and Dynamic Duo effectively vent all their pent-up emotions through their own personal stories about their unapproachable fathers. Looking back as grownup narrators, both singers candidly talk about their hatred for their fathers.
