On the 11th, the peregrine falcon opened the curtain for the nationwide tour concert ‘Aspiration (熱望)’ at the Seoul Olympic Keispo Dome (formerly Gymnastics Stadium).
This concert is a stage where Bae Cheol-soo and the two-top peregrine falcon stand together for the first time in 38 years. Bae Chul-soo, the peregrine hawk who opened the opening with ‘My Own You’ and ‘Gather’, said, “I stood on stage with Gu Chang-mo as a peregrine falcon for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Should I say the feeling is new? I didn’t expect so many people to come, but I am deeply grateful to everyone who came to this event, who loves the peregrine falcon.”
Gu Chang-mo expressed his candid feelings by saying, “I am so excited that my body is shaking. He said, “I am grateful that many people supported me despite the rain. I never imagined that we would be able to perform on such a big stage. Thank you for Bae Chul-soo.”
Gu Chang-mo said, “A few years ago, Bae Chul-soo invited me to an overseas rock festival and went to see it together. It was the first time I had seen such a big performance. I was so moved that I cried.
Bae Cheol-soo trembled nervously, “It’s okay to talk like this, but it’s good to meet friends,” and Koo Chang-mo said sincerely, “I met my friends well, and I was able to do this stage because of Bae Cheol-soo.” Bae Cheol-soo also responded, “Thanks to Goo Chang-mo.”
Bae Cheol-soo said, “I’m not sure if it’s a dream or my birthday. I’ve changed my hairstyle and I’m wearing a guitar, so I feel like I’m back in my 20s.”
Bae Cheol-soo said, “Gu Chang-mo prepared really hard for this performance. His house is on the 25th floor, but he walked up the stairs every day.” Gu Chang-mo said, “She worked hard for this performance. She worked hard to match her breathing.”
Bae Chul-soo said, “Probably, the average age of rock concert audiences in Korea is the highest today.” Gu Chang-mo also said with a smile, “I think the average age will be around 45.”
Still, he continued, saying, “As the title of the concert is aspiration, it would be nice to go back to the days of our 20s and teens, when we were full of aspirations.”
Peregrine Falcon is a rock band formed in 1979 by Bae Chul-su, a former rock band runway member of the Korea Aerospace University club.
In 1982, they recruited Black Tetra members Koo Chang-mo and Kim Jeong-seon from Hongik University to establish a two-top system between Bae Cheol-soo and Koo Chang-mo. From 1982 to 1985, he was selected as one of the top 10 singers at the MBC Top 10 Singer Song Festival for 4 consecutive years, and during the same period, he also won the Rock Group Award at the KBS Music Awards, leaving a mark in the history of Korean popular music as a group sound. .
