Together with the fans all over the world Korean musicians are mourning the sudden death of Michael Jackson.
Rain, visiting Macao for the launching of his fashion brand "Six to Five" when he heard the news of Jackson's death, said that it was Michael Jackson who inspired him to dance. One of Korea's most famous stars overseas said that Jackson was his spiritual mentor and will remain as the textbook for all singers and dancers worldwide.
Moon Hee-jun, former leader of idol group H.O.T., reminisced about the time he met with Jackson behind stage during his 1999 concert in Seoul. Moon talked about how he froze up when he finally got to meet Jackson in person. He also remembered being electrified by the charismatic presence of the king of pop.
Jackson has inspired many other Korean musicians, such as Park Jin-young, Se7en, BoA, and Yoon Mi-rae. They have all mourned the death of their idol and remembered how they dreamed of becoming a great performer like Jackson.
Jackson held two concerts in Korea, one in 1996 and another one three years later. He even attended the inauguration ceremony of President Kim Dae-jung in 2002. His last promise to Koreans fans was that he will come back when the two Koreas are reunited.
