It seems like "애상" (Love Song) is more famous now
I don't know the exact records, but based on my personal feeling as someone who lived through that era,
"애상" felt like just one of many hit songs by Cool back then.
Songs with similar popularity that I remember right away are
"Woman on the Beach," "Jump Mambo," "Excuse," "Truth," and "Beer and Peanuts."
The perceived popularity of those songs wasn't particularly lower than "애상."
I'm not sure if the official records favor "애상,"
but I actually remember "Woman on the Beach" being the most popular among them.
However, it feels like "애상" has become much more famous now.
I think it started happening around the time of 10cm's remake.
Unlike those other songs, "Destiny" felt like Cool's absolute best song.
To be honest, I didn't really know Cool properly until "Destiny."
I just occasionally heard "A Small Wait" or "The Reason I Wanted You to Be You" on the streets.
And maybe "From Friend to Lover" too.
But from "Destiny" onwards, Cool started appearing on TV a lot.
I didn't even know Yuri or Kim Seong-su before that.
