A classic pop song that was a hit all over the world even though it originated from a small, relatively unknown country. South Korea should learn something from this. In 25 years time will people be playing 'Tell Me' 'Nobody' or 'Gee' on other instruments? Would you even recognise those 'songs' played on other instruments today? It's all about the tune.
