1980 was turbulent in South Korea โ the Gwangju Uprising and political upheaval shaped the national mood. Cho Yong-pil, the 'King of Korean Pop,' sold over 1 million copies of 'Woman Outside the Window.' The year marked a transition from traditional trot to a new ballad style, while folk-influenced singer-songwriters like Yang Hee-eun maintained strong followings.
