Career
Music
Some of Young-nam's most popular songs include "Delilah" (1968), which was his first release, as well as "My Home Chungchong Province" and "Hwagae Marketplace." He has also recorded many well-known tracks, such as "Swallow," "Barley Field," and "Farewell to the City," to mention just a few. He has stated that the reason he feels he was not more successful was because he mainly did covers in the beginning of his career.
