The 70s in Korea was the age of confusion. In 1972, President Park Chung-hee announced October Yushin, which allowed him to control over the legislative branch of Korea. People started to rise against the dictatorship, but often failed due to the martial law the president declared. Until when the president was assassinated in 1979 (called as 10.26 incident), democracy movements become underground activities.
On the other hand, youth culture represented by blue jeans, guitar, and long hair started to broom in this period as well. The government tried to oppress this rapid changes in youth culture by cracking down mini skirts, but as the history all around the world has proven it, it was not enough to oppress the passion of youths.
Kim Min-ki's debut album was probably the first bridge to connect these two worlds. His songs represent the youth culture in 1970s, but on the other hand, he has yearned for freedom throughout his songs in an emotional way. That's why his songs were significantly influential in thehistory of democracy movement of Korea, since one of his songs "Dew in the Morning" (아침 이슬) has become the symbol of peace and protest. In fact, in 2008, when about a million of people gathered to protest against the US beef export, people have sung this song together.
