[Yoon Jong-shin] Original songs I prefer over hit remakes

This is Yoon Jong-shin's "Highway Romance."
(I had been thinking that I should write about this at some point,
and since 'Young Tak' was singing it on "Radio Star,"
I decided to write it down while it was on my mind.)
"Highway Romance" is a track included in Yoon Jong-shin's 9th album
"Shade," released in 2001.
Many people may know the original, but it became widely
known and popular after Kim Jang-hoon remade it as
"Highway Romance" in 2004.
However, rather than Kim Jang-hoon's version, which feels like
racing recklessly without limits, I prefer Yoon Jong-shin's original—
like a leisurely drive along a coastal road in a convertible,
feeling the moisture-laden breeze against your cheeks.
Actually, the most famous song from Yoon Jong-shin's 9th album is "Patbingsu."
The ultimate food song before Myeong-ka Live's "Naengmyeon."
The 9th album is largely divided into two musical styles.
Exciting summer tracks like "Patbingsu," "Highway Romance,"
"Beach Mood Song," and "Vacation Mania."
And lyrical tracks like the title song "Shade," "Because I Miss You," and "September."
And, "At the Arboretum."
Along with "September," this is my favorite song
from Yoon Jong-shin's 9th album "Shade."
The early 2000s. At a time when we were in the midst of transitioning
from analog to digital—or had almost already transitioned—
I remember listening to it through CDs and Winamp in my studio apartment,
and listening to it endlessly in my father's car
by inserting cassette tapes into the car stereo.
People may evaluate it in various ways,
but for someone like me, who has loved his music ever since
first encountering "On an Empty Street" (which he sang as a guest vocalist for 015B),
the 9th album "Shade" stands as Yoon Jong-shin's 'masterpiece.'
