What’s Demon Lord About?
“To You” takes its name from Shin Hae Chul’s self-written debut song, which won the grand prize at the 1988 MBC College Song Festival — the moment that launched his legendary career. The biopic will trace 25 years of his music and life, starting from his debut at just 21 years old.
Shin, affectionately nicknamed the “Demon King” and “Mayor,” was more than a musician. As detailed on his Wikipedia profile, he was a pioneer of Korean experimental rock, fronted the band N.EX.T, and became known just as much for his fearless radio commentary on social issues as for his genre-hopping music across rock, ballad, techno, and jazz.
