This song was written in 1934 when Chosun (the name of Korea then) was under the Japanese imperial colonial rule. And this song expressed well the sad and melancholy mood of Koreans then who moved out of home to join in the independence movement or for free life else where.
I am very concerned of my fellow Koreans in the South Korea for they might need this song again to comfort their sad situation under the communist turned regime in the Soth Korea.
