Seol Min-seok says, “Jazz was born after losing its original intention”

History instructor Seol Min-seok, who recently acknowledged and apologized for the distortion of history in the program under his own name, was controversial this time about distortion of music history.

On the 15th, Seol Min-suk introduced jazz as another 20th-century labor song in the industrialized era after the blues in a lecture on “Why is Queen Seondeok in Labor Songs?” posted on his YouTube. He said, “After Frank Sinatra, white people sing black music. (Black people) lost their original intentions. That’s why the renaissance only for black people has begun,” he said. “Let’s go back, retro, go back to the blues. That’s R&B,” he said.

A jazz expert who watched the video commented, “It’s the first time I hear that’the rhythm and blues were born because jazz lost its originality’. It is a genre that was born in the process of being passed on to him.”

MBC Radio’s’Bae Chul-soo’s Music Camp’ writer Soon-Tak Bae (music critic) also posted on his Instagram on the 24th, saying, “It is completely absurd that jazz has returned and returned to Rhythm and Blues.” “Jazz Blues, Electric Blues, Rhythm and Blues It is clear that I have never read even a single original book on the history of early rock and roll. This is the same as spreading false information,” he criticized. “Rhythm and Blues is simply a genre that became’electric’ after the (delta) blues in the southern United States took the Illinois Central Line railroad train to the northern metropolitan area (Chicago, to be precise),” he said. “So it is also called Electric Blues. This is what later became rock and roll.” Artist Bae added, “I think Seol Min-seok is very excellent when it comes to his lectures,” he added.
