When I saw your comments, I first heard Kim Kwang-seok's "Where the Wind Blows" (1994) for the first time, and we also felt that the melody was surprisingly similar.
Although it is a very famous song in Korea, I am ashamed to say that I did not know it at the time of production, and I am taking it seriously that the melody composed with the image of walking in the mountains is partially similar and as a result, I released a similar song.
'Sanbo' is a song composed by thinking about the richness of mind and life through time walking in the mountains and nature. With this point, I learned great Korean masterpieces, and it was an opportunity to realize that music has the power to connect people and people across borders.
I would appreciate it if not only Japan but also Korea could accept our music with a warm heart. With respect for Kim Kwang-seok's masterpiece in my heart, I will work more carefully in the future.
Thank you very much to everyone for your valuable comments.
