Recently, the famous star instructor Seol Min-seok, who admitted to the distortion of world history, was engulfed in controversy that he distorted the history of music. As jazz became a white-centered genre, pop music experts pointed out the error when they claimed that it was R&B that black people created.
On the 15th, Seol Min-seok explained the correlation between jazz and R&B in a video titled’Why Queen Seondeok Comes Out of Labor Songs’ posted on her YouTube channel on the 15th.

A reporter from the jazz magazine Jazz People said in a comment on the video, “It’s the first time I’ve heard that jazz has lost its originality and R&B was born. R&B means that the blues go beyond black bars in the southern United States to more people across the country. “The genre was born in the process of “.

Bae Soon-Tak, who is also the author of MBC Radio’s’Bae Chul-soo’s Music Camp’ and a popular music critic, also pointed out Seol Min-seok’s error. He said on his social media, “It’s completely ridiculous to say that jazz has returned and returned to R&B,” he said. “This is like spreading false information.”
Bae, who also translated’Modern Pop Story’, a book about the history of popular music, said, “R&B is simply’electric’ after the (Delta) Blues in the southern United States took the Illinois Central Line railroad train to the northern metropolis (to be precise, Chicago). Genre.” At the same time, “I think Seol Min-seok is very excellent when it comes to his lectures,” he said. “But I don’t know why he keeps trying to reach the area close to’ignorance’ beyond unripe.”
Earlier, Seol Min-suk received criticism from historians and apologized for delivering false information on TVN’s’Seol Min-suk’s Naked World History’ broadcast in Egypt. He deleted the video when the R&B-related remarks became controversial, but did not disclose an official position.
