The behind-the-scenes story regarding ‘Oh Pilseung Korea’, which was sung by Dohyun Yoon of the band YB during the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, was revealed.
Yesterday (5th), a video featuring YB’s Dohyeon Yoon and Scott Hallowell as guests was uploaded on the official YouTube channel of Pizik University.
In the video, when asked regarding the behind-the-scenes story of “Oh Pilseung Korea,” the song that shook the whole nation during the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, Yoon answered, “That song is not an official World Cup song. It was just an advertisement for a news agency.”
Yoon Do-hyun, who said he did not know that the commercial music would be so successful, surprised the cast by saying, “There is no copyright for ‘Oh Pil-seung Korea’. It is not my song.”
Yoon Do-hyun said, “(Even without copyright) I’m really fine. Anyway, that song is for our people,” he said. “It was a song for the soccer team and fans.”
After the release of ‘Oh Pilseung Korea’, he also aroused curiosity by consistently keeping silent from the hosts who were curious regarding the profits earned from events and advertisements.
‘Oh Pilseung Korea’, the title song and b-side song of the Red Devils’ official album ‘Dreams Come True’, released to commemorate Korea-Japan World Cup semifinals in 2002, has been released in various versions including YB as well as band Crying Nut and Buzz. It is consistently loved by football fans.
Yoon Do-hyun also shared his feelings regarding the recent radio sang ‘Ditto’ by the group New Jeans, saying, “I just sang it for the listeners. I wanted to give them something special.”
He said, “There is something powerful regarding girl group songs, and the chord progression gives a positive change to rock music.”
Netizens who saw his candid interview responded such as “Can a vocalist like this come out once more”, “He is a true artist”, and “Oh Pilseung Korea is Yoon Do-hyun”.
