It has already been 11 years since the passing of the late Shin Hae-chul.
However, his music still lives on in the hearts of many.
Recently, Shin Hae-chul's daughter, Shin Ha-yeon, and son, Shin Dong-won, appeared on MBC's 'University Song Festival,' delivering a profound resonance.
The song they chose was 'To You' by Moo Han Gwe Do, which won the grand prize at the 1988 University Song Festival and is one of Shin Hae-chul's signature songs.
This performance maximized the audience's emotions by adding Shin Hae-chul's actual voice, which was restored using AI technology.
It was a moment when technological advancements embraced the emotions of memories and summoned them onto the stage.
Shin Dong-won, Shin Hae-chul's son, expressed his gratitude, saying, "It's already been more than ten years since my father's death anniversary, and I'm so grateful to my father's fans who still remember and care for him."
His daughter, Shin Ha-yeon, touched the audience's hearts by saying, "In my memory, my dad's fans often have tearful faces. I would be happy if you could enjoy today's performance with a smile. Please don't make those sad faces anymore."
Coincidentally, 'Please Don't Make Sad Faces' is one of Shin Hae-chul's signature songs, making the message even more meaningful.
For Shin Hae-chul, the 'University Song Festival' was more than just a stage.
He became widely known after participating in the competition in 1988 with the group Moo Han Gwe Do and winning the grand prize.
Afterward, he received great love as a solo singer and created a new trend in the Korean music scene.
Therefore, this performance was not just a recollection of memories but a moving scene that continued the lineage of music.
The music and family's heart, transcending generations, left a lasting impression on many viewers.
Shin Hae-chul passed away on October 27, 2014, due to complications after surgery for intestinal adhesions.
This incident caused a significant social impact, and the bereaved family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the hospital director, continuing a difficult battle for a long time.
His sudden death was a great shock to fans and raised social awareness of the medical system.
Shin Hae-chul was someone who knew how to voice social issues beyond music, so his absence was felt even more profoundly.
Even after 11 years, fans still remember and listen to his music.
Junior singers are trying to inherit his musical philosophy,
and new technologies have brought his voice back to the stage.
This University Song Festival performance was not just a recollection of memories but a declaration that 'his music is not over.'
Above all, the message of gratitude and hope conveyed by his children left great comfort to the fans.
The sight of the next generation singing his music would have been what Shin Hae-chul wished for.
