## The birth of Golden Oldies

PD Cho Eui-jin, who was in charge of a variety program called <The March of Youth> on KBS 1TV, said, "Let's make a music program targeting the middle-aged in the era of music show programs targeting young people." I think. At that time, KBS President Park Hyun-tae said, "The music stage should consist of good lyrics, enthusiastic singers, and a classy stage." I asked. In line with this direction of production, a program called a music stage was created. One week before the first recording, PD Cho Eui-jin thought that Kim Dong-gun announcer was the foremost of the person who is doing the classy and savvy progress. I went to the announcer Kim Dong-gun and said, "I have a program like this, but can't you help me?" I asked for a request, but I refused it under the ground. When announcer Kim Dong-gun refused until the day before the recording, PD Cho Eui-jin said that he was ignorant. The reason for refusing was Kim Dong-Geon in the special feature of the 30th anniversary of the music stage, "PD Jo Eui-jin is a very, very expensive person. So he asked me to continue to come and watch the society, so I was doing a liberal arts program at that time, Eun-mak, I thought that young people were dancing, so I said that I didn't fit with me. I lasted for a week. Then (PD Jo Eui-jin) "I'll just do one day of recording today, and then after one day, from next week, then I'll find someone else. "Let's see." Go... So I couldn't do it because I was a punk. But... After that, after recording, PD Jo came down and said, "Brother, how does it feel to record it now?" I said, "Hey! I will continue with this program."

## History of Golden Oldies

1987 Libya Encouragement of workers at the Daesu reactor construction: When preparing to go to Libya for the performance, singer 'Hyeon-cheol' was in a group called 'Hyeon-cheol and the bees'. When <Sit but Stand or Think of You>, which I wrote for my wife, became a hit, I made people in Libya think of their homeland and family. However, even though I know the song, the singer is a faceless singer, so I wanted to know who the singer was and wanted to see it. There was a request that the singer wished to come when performing Libya. Kim Dong-gun said he wanted to know who 'Hyeon-cheol', the protagonist of the song, was called. We got on the plane to Libya, but the host announcer Kim Dong-gun saw 'Hyeon-cheol' (singer) and said, "Who is this person? He said that he misunderstood'Hyeon-cheol (singer)' as a worker going to the Libya aqueduct. And since the broadcast,'Hyeon-cheol (singer)', who was a faceless singer, has his face engraved on the people. Hyun-cheol became a popular singer, and in 1989 he won the KBS Music Awards for <Bongseon-hwa Yeonjeong> (Kim Dong-chan lyrics/Park Hyun-jin composition/Hyun-cheol song). Since then, Hyeon-cheol enjoyed the honor of winning the KBS Music Awards for two years in a row with < I Hate Hate> (Lyrics Ho-Seop Lee/Sung Hoon Park/Hyun-Cheol] Song) in 1990.
In 1988, in the United States Los Angeles, he sang <Hometown Elementary>, <San Francisco>, and <Travel Car>. In the year, Jang Se-jeong remade his <Hometown Cho>.

## Song of Golden Oldies

Composer Jeong Pung-song has added lyrics and songs, and has been positioned as a symbol of Golden Oldies from 4 November 1985 until now, and is performing short arrangements with the opening and ending titles of the broadcast .
Song:
   The voices I missed, the faces I dug to see We gathered here again today, a flower of joy blooms The song that was sweet, the song I wanted to hear again Let's clap our hands freely and sing
   This time to re-sing the song that you loved in memory Each face is full of joy, every heart is full of happiness
Korean:
   그리웠던 그 목소리 보고팠던 그 얼굴들 오늘 여기 다시 모였네 반가움의 꽃 피었네 정다웠던 그 노래 다시 듣고 싶던 그 노래 우리 모두 마음껏 손뼉 치며 노래 부르자 추억 속에 정든 그 노래 다시 불러보는 이 시간 얼굴마다 기쁨이 가득 가슴마다 행복이 가득
