작사 유호 Lyrics Ryu Ho
작곡 박시춘 Music Park Si-choon
노래 현인 Original artist Hyun Ryin

Multiple artists have recorded this song since Hyun Ryin's original. It's theme is about the lingering nostalgia for the life before coming of age and leaving the family home town ( 고 향 ) in the country. There is an interpretation of the lyrics at the link below. It's somewhat subjective, as a literal translation is difficult.

Below is an older very nice youtube that someone put together of Ju Hyun-mi's performance of the same song, also with Kim Gwang-seok on guitar. The background scenes go with the lyrics.
