Why It Matters
PTV Taiwan produced the period drama "Goodbye 1987". Its theme song "Spring Song" was adapted from the national ballad of the South Korean democratization movement in the 1970s, and was sung by Korean actor Moon Hee-kyung and Taiwanese singer Cao Yawen.
[Reporter Xiao Fangqi/Reporting from Taipei] PSTV Taiwanese period drama "Goodbye 1987" has the core theme song "Song of Spring" that runs through the soul of the whole drama. We specially invited South Korea's veteran "mother professional" Wen Hee-kyung and Taiwan's hit song queen Cao Yawen to perform a cross-border dream duet. Talking about this song adapted from the national ballad of the South Korean democratization movement in the 1970s, Moon Hee-kyung said that he was very surprised when he heard the bilingual demo of Taiwan and South Korea. He praised Cao Yawen's singing as if she was "born for this song"; Cao Ya Wen Ze revealed that she was very nervous when she received the invitation, thinking that she would have to sing Korean all the way. She especially asked her friends who knew Korean to correct the pronunciation and romanization word for word. The perfect result of her hard work on the accent made Wen Xijing full of praise, saying that she wanted to show off to her South Korean friends.

Wen Xijing specially found time to meet with Cao Yawen when he came to Taiwan for promotion. The two shared each other's work mood. Wen Xijing revealed that he had traveled to Taiwan as early as 1992, and he has never forgotten Taiwan's human touch and delicious food. This time when he came to Taiwan, he specifically wanted to eat spicy hot pot and mango ice with the "All You Can Eat Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream". He was even more happy that it was in Taiwan that he ate so many delicious ice creams for the first time in his life. "I am really happy." When Cao Yawen talked about her love for watching Korean dramas and being obsessed with "Tekken Education", she discovered that Moon Hee Kyung was the lady who played Yang Shuoheng's mother in "The Life of a Smart Doctor". She instantly became a fan girl and broke into sweat and exclaimed: "The teacher is really beautiful!"

Moon Hee-kyung, who has won the Song Awards and even challenged a rap competition at the age of 50, also shared generously about South Korea's cruel trainee system and band ecology. He frankly said that he was very envious of Taiwan and Japan for having rich independent bands and music festival cultures. He also warmly encouraged Cao Yawen: "It is difficult for singers to sing for a lifetime. I hope Yawen can fulfill my dream for me and keep singing until 70. "Years old!" Moon Hee-kyung said emotionally that this song expresses the tenacity and vitality of "finding new hope from despair." In the end, Wen Xijing also enthusiastically expressed that if Cao Yawen travels to South Korea in the future, she must inform her and let her do her best as a landlord.
