Evaluation
한국에 뿌리내려온 대중가요의 80년의 역사 그 수많은 뭇별들 중에서도 지금도 이 땅에 가요가 우리 국민과 함께 사랑받고, 숨쉬는 한, 영원히 빛날 큰 별이 있으니 그가 바로 천재 작곡가 이재호 (애칭:한국가요의 슈베르트) 입니다. 나라를 잃어 암울하고 고통스러웠던 일제시대, 감격의 해방을 맞으면서 기쁨에 들떠있던 혼란기, 또 동족상잔의 쓰라린 6.25 전쟁등 질곡의 세월을 거치면서 그때마다 주옥같은 선율로 민족의 가슴에 맺힌 한을 풀어주고 애환을 달래주었습니다. 좌절 속에서도 희망과 용기를 잃지 않게 해준 그의 작품들은 우리 가요를 한층 아름답고 빛나게 장식합니다. 이재호 선생이 가요 속에 남긴 겨레 사랑의 따뜻한 숨결은 우리 민족이 있는 한 영원토록 우리와 함께 할 것입니다.Among the many stars of 80 years of popular songs that have been rooted in Korea, there is a big star that will shine forever as long as K-pop is still loved and breathed with our people, so he is genius composer Lee Jae-ho (Nickname: Schubert of K-pop).

During the Japanese colonial period, which was gloomy and painful after losing the country, the chaotic period of joy in the liberation of emotion, and the bitter Korean War of the fratricidal war, each time, he relieved the sorrow and sorrow of the people with a precious melody.

His works, which kept hope and courage in the midst of frustration, decorate our songs more beautifully and brightly. The warm breath of love left by Lee Jae-ho in the song will be with us forever as long as our people are present.
