What does it mean?
Released in October 1997 as the follow-up single from Turbo's third album, 'Hoesang (December)' topped Korean music chart shows a total of 12 times, making it the group's most successful song. It stands as a defining hit from the early careers of Kim Jung-nam and Kim Jong-kook.
Where did it start?
In 1997, Turbo competed with H.O.T. and Sechs Kies with the title track 'Goodbye Yesterday' from their third album 'Born Again,' taking No. 1 on KBS's Gayo Top 10 for four consecutive weeks before releasing the follow-up 'Hoesang (December).' 'Hoesang' hit No. 1 on Gayo Top 10 on December 17 that year and kept the streak going, reportedly giving the two songs combined the record for the most consecutive No. 1 wins. Its mournful ballad-style melody and the vocal pairing of Kim Jong-kook and Kim Jung-nam made it one of the defining hits of the Korean music scene in late 1997.
How is it used?
Can be cited as a classic of late-1990s Korean dance-pop.
