Heartache - Aching Heart



On June 21, 2022, singer Jeon Yujin appeared on TV Chosun's "Tuesday Night" program. She sang the R&B style "Heartache". This song was originally sung by the duet "One Heart", and is widely known for the main vocalist "Yang Ha-young". Yang Ha-young is a singer-songwriter born in 1961 and her real name is Shin Eon-ok. Together with Young-Chul Kang, she formed a duet called “One Heart” in 1983, where she became a big hit with the songs 'Rocks on the Seashore - Gaetbawi in Korean' and 'Heartache'. Since 2018, she has been appointed as a full-time professor at Yuwon University's Department of Broadcasting and Entertainment, nurturing her successors.

This song was remade and sang by several singers, and about 20 years after Yang Ha-young sang it, singer Zee Young-sun (born 1981) slightly arranged it in 2002 and sang "Heartache" in an R&B remake version. This version of Zee Young-sun was sung by singer Jeon Yu-jin, born in 2006. Older people are familiar with Yang Ha-young's version, and in fact, they don't even know Ji Young-sun's version. 

Yang Ha-young's version is a folk ballad. It's calm and fast-tempo, but the melody is addictive, so it became popular in the early 80's in Korea and became so famous that no one knew about it. Zee Young-sun's version is R&B. It seems to express the feeling of digging into the chest well by arranging it a little slowly.

Heartburn in Zee Young-sun's version (2002)
The tone and voice are very attractive.




Foreign singer "Juliana Paramesti"
There is also an English version of "Heartache".
It is sung faithfully to the original version of Ha-Young Yang.




Now, let's listen to singer Jeon Yujin's version.
If you listen with headphones on,
It's an amazing heavenly voice.
