Hiyeah! I've been distancing myself from Kpop recently. It's unintentional. I think I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. My biases, Super Junior, DBSK, and Big Bang are currently not in the Kpop scene, although 2ne1 is back and Big Bang is gearing for this comeback next month too, and I don't really dig the new Kpop groups that are emerging. I don't know I can't seem to find a new group that'll keep me addicted to Kpop nowadays. The new groups that debuted after 2PM and 2AM just keep getting younger and younger and some just don't meet my expectations talent-wise (Beast and MBLAQ are exceptions. I like them. :P). Hmmm.. Is it really just because of that or I have really become mature and don't spazz that much now?
So.. What have I been doing/checking out related to Kpop, Korea, or Korean Entertainment recently? Korean Dramas and Korean Movies!! I just finished Cinderella's Sister last week and it's 9/10 for me. I love Moon Geun Young and I super love her and the other casts' fashion style in the drama, but it's just so melodramatic for me. Of course what can you expect, it's Moon Geun Young! But really, she's 24 now but why does she still appear as a teenager for me? Even when she takes mature acting roles, she's really still Korea's National Little Sister. Also, yesterday, I watched 71:Into the Fire. It's the most anticipated Korean war film of this year and I was so excited when I found out that the English subtitles are already out. It's a great movie and is definitely a must-watch. Unlike my all-time favorite Korean movie Taegugki, it's not as dramatic for me, but it's really, really good. It's about a company of 71 South Korean student soldiers who fought during the Korean War. The main actors were T.O.P. of Big Bang, Kwon Sang Woo, Cha Seung Won, and Kim Seung Woo (Iris). I have been waiting for this movie and it definitely matched my expectations. I love Korean War films and this movie just made me grow my interest in Korean history. Also, it also made me respect T.O.P. more as an actor. :] Today, I also watched 2 Faces of My Girlfriend (2007). It's not a new movie but my best friend recommended it to me so I watched it. It's also a good and sad movie though I didn't love, love it. Haha! Maybe because she basically told me a summary of the film after she watched it. She couldn't help but give me spoilers. And lastly, Khuntoria couple in We Got Married is an essential part of my weekend! It's the only variety show I've been watching these days. Come on, Nichkhun (2PM), who can resist Nichkhun?! Haha!
So as a celebration for my comeback in my Kpop addiction world, here's 2PM's video of Fly to Seoul Boom Boom Boom

2PM - I Will Give You My Life [MV] [Lyrics]
After Only You, this is my favorite 2PM song as of today. After I read the English translations of the lyrics, I was teary-eyed when I listened to it again with the translations. What a very touching song from one of my favorite Korean Idol Groups. How wonderful if Junho (my bias in 2PM obviously ㅋㅋ) would sing it to me. Haha! Forgive the daydreaming and the fangirling. Just listen to the song and read the English translations and you'll find out what I mean. Enjoy! Lyrics after the jump! ^__^

Lee Hyori and Daesung's Duet - How Did We Get
This is my favorite song from here newest album. I just love Lee Hyori. (and Big Bang's Daesung too, he's really adorable.. ). Hyori recently made her comeback with her album H-Logic. It's her 4th album to date and she's currently promoting it in weekend Music Shows. It's a battle between 2PM's Without You, Rain's Lovesong and Lee Hyori's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang every weekend. But now that Super Junior has also made their comeback, it looks like it's going to be a tough fight for the mutizen awards.
Enjoy listening everyone! :)

I Miss DBSK/TVXQ!
I suddenly miss Yunho, Xiah, Hero, Micky, and Max. I was about to turn off the computer when I saw one of their old videos. Seeing them with those ridiculous hairstyles and baggy outfits, make me remeber how cute and innocent they were back then. I'm not a true blue Cassioppeia but I love DongBangShinKi. They are really talented. My favorite is Xiah Junsu, the cute Junsu. I love his voice. Plus I love the fact that he likes or sometimes called 'dolphin.' I don't really know the story behind this though.
They became controversial last year because of their lawsuit against SM Entertainment. Micky Yoochun, Hero Jaejoong, and Xiah Junsu, specifically had some issues about their contract with SME. Theirs was dubbed as slave contracts. I can't really remember the details, I don't want to read more about too because I know I'll just be sad. I like them. DBSK, like Super Junior, are also brothers to each other, like family. But it's been a while since they performed as 5 in Korea, it's been awhile since they released and album in Korea or even attend a variety show. I just miss the dorky, cute, and funny DBSK and amidst all the controversies, I hope they will come back someday. I want to see them in variety shows, music shows, and concerts again.
Here's one of their oldest songs, Hug. I love this song. I miss DBSK. >_<
P.S. Did you know that DBSK has the largest fan base in the world? That's how lucky they are. So many Cassiopeias love them. :]

Is Hankyung Really Leaving Super Junior? Part 2-Interview
I think this is not the same interview for the interview teaser that first came out but apparently this is about Hankyung speaking up about his current condition, what he went through before, and about SM Entertainment.
I'm happy that he's doing great these days. I'm also glad that he's spending more time with his family especially his mom. Honestly, even though I'm such a big fan of Super Junior, I didn't know about the mask incident(s). I'm a Ryeowook die-hard so please understand ㅋㅋ. But, of the 13 of them Hankyung is the one I admire the most because of everything he went through. I know about his visa problems, how hard it was for him to train in Korea away from his family and away from the way of life he was used to, but nobody truly knows how much the boys (all 13 of them) have suffered but themselves and their families. All of Hankyung's sacrifices to make his dreams come true in Korea and China, I'm just amazed how he endured it all. He even had gastritis. I know how painful it is to have gastritis. T_T
The part where he talked about the unfair treatment/contract he had with SME really touched me. He said that he can't really say it's unfair because if it really what you want to do, not everything is going to be fair. It was clear to him that the number of sacrifices he had to make was normal in that line of business. He even said that if not for all those hardships, like wearing a mask while performing just for Super Junior to have a complete appearance on TV, he wouldn't be who he is now. I admire him more because of that statement. Maybe it just finally came to a point that to Hankyung it's enough, the company has crossed the line. Hence, the lawsuit. I'm glad that to his statement I can still sense a feeling of gratitude he has for SME, despite everything. I'm pretty sure it wasn't all nightmares for him when he was in SME.
Everyone is still waiting for the result of the lawsuit. It's sad if Hankyung will really leave. I want Super Junior to be 13 again. But if Hankyung will be happier if he's out of SME, then I think I'll have to accept that. I don't know how I'm gonna do that, it's hard, but if it's going to happen, I can't change the decision of the court. haha! So I think I can eventually accept it. It's hard to see Super Junior lacking one member. I hate seeing them incomplete. Even when it was Kibum, Heechul, or Kangin's case, when they were frequently absent in Super Junior's appearances, it feels like the stage is really incomplete. The carnival is incomplete. But as one said, Super Junior can't stay together forever. One day, they will eventually disband. I'm still living for beacon of hope that Super Junior is going to be 13 forever though. No one can replace any member. As what Donghae recently tweeted, Super Junior + ELF = One 1. ELF, I know, will always support them whatever happens. I just hope the result of the case will be for the good of Hankyung, the remaining Super Junior members, and the fans.

Super Junior is in the Philippines! Part 1
(how it feels)
Super Junior is in the Philippines..
and here I am, feeling like the whole world is on my shoulders, problematic because I can't go to their concert tonight. Super Junior arrived yesterday, April 9, 2010, in NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport) in Manila.
As I'm writing this (it's currently 5:02 pm, Philippine time), the concert gates are already open for thousands of Filipino ELFs who are attending the last part of Super Show 2. I can't believe I'm sitting here, mourning, trying to find things to make me busy so I can forget about SS2. This is Super Junior's first time to be here in my country and I won't be able to see them. I'm a very big fan. I love them to bits. I can't believe I won't be able to sing Marry U and Shining Star to the boys I really adore. It's one of my dreams to be in one of their concerts and do the famous Marry U chants with my co-ELFS and watch them perform at their best and sing in front of me. I want to see them bow at the end of the concert, LIVE! I want to see them live! But for now, for this Super Show, I just can't..
I found out about the concert last January. Being miles and miles away from Manila, I know, with my meager allowance, I can't save enough money to go to their upcoming concert. But I tried. I knew there's a way if there's a will. But since I'm a very impulse driven person, plus all the expenses I had to give for school stuff, my personal savings went bankrupt. Someone offered me a plane ticket (round-trip) to Manila but it's just impossible that I can accept it without hurting my family. (damn, if only i can be insensitive and ungrateful for one day. but i can't. I can't take putting the ones I love to that much trouble.) With my blogging I earned enough to buy a ticket for the concert but not sufficient for my ticket to Manila and back. My only way to get to the concert was that if I graduated last April 7-8 since I (think) can ask for the plane tickets as a graduation gift. But yeah, I didn't. I didn't finish my thesis and I wasn't able to attend this year's graduation ceremony. So yeah.. It's so sad. So sad.
But last week I had a very wonderful time with my family. My dad only comes home once a year and summer is just the happiest, happiest days of our year. No one can buy that. No concert can top that. Another good news also is that my blog, this blog, reached PR3 yesterday(or 2 days ago I think). Yep. I'm happy. I feel so thankful because of these blessings. But *cries on the floor like a baby* Super Junior.... Ryeowook.. T__T
I don't know when they will come back to the Philippines. I don't even know when they will be together as 13 again. This is a chance of a lifetime and I'm letting it pass. But I still believe that someday, I'm gonna be in their concert again. Maybe in the Philippines or not, but I'm definitely going to a Super Junior concert before I die.
To all ELFs who are in Araneta Coliseum right now, I hope you enjoy the concert.
To Super Junior, THANK YOU for coming to the Philippines. THANK YOU for working so hard for your fans and your families. THANK YOU for being Super Junior.
PS. Ryeowook.. T__T I'll see you someday oppa. Someday..
P.P.S. There will be part 2 of this. I'll post Super Junior's pictures and videos in the Philippines including some pics in the SS2 tonight. If I can get fan accounts from my friends I'll also try to post them here.

SNSD's Run Devil Run MV - My Fave SNSD MV
Taeyeon, Yuri, Yoona, and Tiffany looked fantastic in their bad-girl outfits. And I'm also surprised that Seohyeon, despite her very young and cute image (which I thought she can never wear off), can fit the bad-girl image for this video's concept. She's one of the best voices in the group I think but I hate that he's being paired up with C.N Blue's Jong Yonghwa in We Got Married. I'm damn jealous. But I'm actually liking her more now with this image.
Ke$ha has a version of this song too. SM Entertainment bought the rights to make a Korean version of this song. I like SNSD's version better.*biased. i love Yuri too much.* :]
Here's Ke$ha's Run Devil Run. Which one do you like better?

Let Kpop Make You Smile - Smile by Mighty Mouth feat. Insooni
This is an old video but everytime I hear this song or watch this music video I can't help but smile and be happy. The music video features a lot of Kpop artists including Epik High, 2AM, Kara, After School, Lee Seung Ki, Kim Taewoo, Baek Ji Young, Taegoon, and a lot more..
Insooni is one of Korea's best singers. Her song A Goose's Dream is one of my favorite songs. Mighty Mouth on the other hand is a famous rap duo in Korea. They have also been to the Philippines during the Korean Cultural Festival and performed this song at the CCP.
Watch the music video and SMILE! :]
Here's the English Translation of the lyrics of the song..

Great English Cover of Taeyang's Wedding's Dress
I was doing my usual Youtube rounds when I found this video in Recommended Videos section. I really love Taeyang and I love, love, love, his song Wedding Dress. The melody, the painful lyrics, the music video, and Taeyang himself in the MV - it's just perfect. The song played on loop in my head for weeks since it was released. So what made me click the link to this cover was that it was an English cover. I've always been very keen about song lyrics. No matter how bad the melody or how much I hate the singer, I can love the song if its lyrics are good or something I can really relate to. So I wanted to know how he interpreted the song in English and much to my surprise, it's really good. There was also a rap verse added and it sounded really cool. If I have never heard of Wedding Dress before then I hear this song, I would definitely still fall in love with the song.
About the artist, I don't know if he's already signed or if he already has an album or if he's popular in Youtube or any place. Haha! This is my first time to hear his cover and I like it so I'll check his other videos out later. He's Korean by the way.
It's such a sad song. If you've seen the original music video, you can really feel sad for Taeyang giving away the girl of his dreams to his best friend (or is it his brother? I'm not really sure). It must hurt like hell for him seeing the one he loves so beautiful in a wedding dress but marrying his friend and not him. Worse is seeing the woman you love get out of your bathroom door, in her bath wrap, and waking up to the truth that you're only imagining. Haha!
But speaking of weddings, I also came across of some fun stuff that can be given as gifts to women today. These personalized ink stamps might just be perfect for your workmate who's getting married. A personalized platter would also be great if you want to stick to the traditional way of giving things for the kitchen as wedding gifts.
So enjoy the cover of one of my favorite Kpop songs. I know you would really like it if you're a kpop fan.

Is Hankyung Really Leaving Super Junior?
Last year, Hankyung complained about the unfair terms of his contract with SME and filed a lawsuit against the entertainment company. There's a video clip I saw today about him finally speaking up about the lawsuit. It's just a preview of his whole interview but I believe he's implying that he really wants to leave Super Junior.
Everybody's still waiting for the decision of the court but fans can't help but worry about the 13-1 Super Junior. Kim Kibum, the youngest member did not participate in the 3rd Album and all of Super Junior's promotions last year because he wanted to focus on his acting career. Kangin, on the other hand, got into some serious trouble so he was suspended from participating in any Super Junior activities for the 3rd album (including Super Show2 Tour and commercials) after that as punishment. This leaves 10 Super Junior members to land in Manila on April 9 for the last leg of their Super Show 2 Asia Tour on April 10.
I'm very sad about this.

Kpop Idols in the Philippines
It started with Kim Bum. Because of the high popularity of Boys Over Flowers here in the Philippines, he was warmly receive by many Filipinos last September 2009 when he arrived here for his commercial shoot with Maja Salvador for RC Cola. He even participated in volunteer works because he arrived here just after we experienced the wrath of typhoon Ketsana.
Then came SHINee. They attended the Korea Cultural Festival here in the Philippines last Nov. 2009.
Next was 4Minute who promoted their album during the first week of February 2010. They also performed in various TV programs.
On the last week of February, Doojoon and Nickchun of 2PM also went to the Philippines to do charity work.
Yesterday, FT Island performed on Showtime, a morning talent show here in the Philippines. They are here for their concert at the PICC Plenary Hall, today, right now, as I am writing this blog post.
After I watched and screamed like crazy yesterday while watching FT Island perform, I couldn't help but worry about Super Junior's upcoming Super Show 2 here in the Philippines. If I almost died seeing Choi Jonghoon, Hongki, Jaejin, and the rest of FTI on Philippine television, how much worse would I feel if I see Super Junior only on TV. This is their first time to have a concert here and I really don't want to miss the opportunity of seeing the boys I really adore. If only I live near Manila. I love Iligan and I certainly love province life but during times like this, I can't help but hate that I'm living in the province. Aside from the concert tickets, the costly transportation is more painful for my pocket. IT'S SO HARD TO BE A FAN GIRL. haha! That's all I can say. Only God knows how I can attend Super Show 2. Actually there are also minuses if I go. First, the 13 of them won't be there. 2nd, the 13 of them won't be there. I might miss our visit to my grandparents' place again (I wasn't able to go last year). 3rd,..the 13 of them won't be there. *sigh* I really want to go. I don't want to cry like a baby watching them being interviewed or guesting on TV.. on Philippine TV! I don't think I can take watching them on TV when they just standing on the same country as me.
Don't get me wrong. I'm actually happy that Kpop idols are getting a lot of love from Filipino audiences. Jang Geun Seok is also coming to the Philippines this year. And the Philippine invasion of Big Bang and more idols are already in the works too. If only Super Junior and FT Island didn't decide to have a concert here sooner...

What's Happening with 2PM and Hottests? Words of a Fangirl
What I’ve been reading about 2PM, Jay, and the conference yesterday is really driving me crazy. Especially when photos of 2PM members probably intoxicated and a photo of Junsu with Waii. Should they really resort to this just to get Jay back to 2PM??
I’m a big fan of 2PM and I too want Jaebum back in the group but I would never, ever neglect the feelings and the lives of the other 6 members just because I want Jay back. We have to remember that no matter how devoted we are to our idols, we are just fans. We don’t know them personally. We may be the ones who supports them morally and financially but we cannot dictate them what to do or feel. They have their own lives too. They have feelings too. Just because they are media icons doesn’t mean that they are obliged to make us happy all the time. Again, they have their own lives too, to attend to. I am just a fan and my only role is to support them whatever they want to do and wherever they want to go. I have a voice and a right to let this voice be heard by my idols and their management but it doesn’t mean that it is an assurance that they will listen to me. No matter how many people I drag who have same feelings as mine to voice out my disagreement to their decision, that doesn’t give me the right to change their decision. It will be up to them if they will listen or not. And whichever way they choose they are going to face the consequences too (since they’re people too like you and me) and I believe they are considering theirselves, their family, their management, their dreams too aside from their fans’ voices.
I’m a big fan of 2PM and I too want Jaebum back in the group but I would never, ever neglect the feelings and the lives of the other 6 members just because I want Jay back. We have to remember that no matter how devoted we are to our idols, we are just fans. We don’t know them personally. We may be the ones who supports them morally and financially but we cannot dictate them what to do or feel. They have their own lives too. They have feelings too. Just because they are media icons doesn’t mean that they are obliged to make us happy all the time. Again, they have their own lives too, to attend to. I am just a fan and my only role is to support them whatever they want to do and wherever they want to go. I have a voice and a right to let this voice be heard by my idols and their management but it doesn’t mean that it is an assurance that they will listen to me.

SNSD is Back with 'Oh!'
I love their new look especially Yuri's hair! She looks so cute with those curls. Hmmm.. I wonder when they will have "mature" and sexy songs. Well, they still suit the cute category so I think it won't be anytime soon. haha! In fact when you say Kpop a lot of people remember SNSD as the cute Gee girls.Anyhoo.. I still like them. ^_^
Here's their most awaited music video.. :) Enjoy!

Crazy for After School Because of You!
haha! Does the title even make sense? I have a new girl group addiction which started this year. They are branded as the Pussycat Dolls of Korea! They are known to have a sexy, sophisticated, yet (still)cute image and they're definitely very talented. Do you guys have a clue now who I'm talking about?
It's After School!

Park Hyo Shin's After Love MV
It's been a couple of days since the last day of class for 2009 but I haven't been catching up with the latest Kpop releases. I don't even watch end-of-the-week music shows (like Music Core, Music Bank, and SBS Inkigayo) anymore. Why? Well it's because I've been addicted to a new Korean drama Iris plus I've been watching a lot of movies these days. I still update myself with the lates Kpop news of course. I can't last a day without checking Allkpop and these news are also all over Twitter and Facebook so I can't avoid it.
Kpop scene is just getting worse as 2009 ends. Scandals and saddening rumors and controversies are everywhere. Recently Super Junior's Hankyung, their only Chinese member, is rumored to be leaving the group. He filed a complaint about his contract under SM in court and then one thing led to another, because of the issue (and the korean netizens perhaps), their youngest member Kyuhyun, closed his Cyworld homepage to the public. I'm really sad about what's happening and I don't want my favorite Kpop idol group to face the same problem as DBSK. I don't want to think about such sad things for now since it's Christmas. I don't want to be sad. I just wish that they won't end the year with a lot of issues unsettled. ELFs can't lose Super Junior, the 13 of them. Another scandal is Lee Byung Hun's of Iris. I hope that issue will be solved too. I really admire him and he's just starting to break through Hollywood and all this is coming up. Makes sense right?
Speaking of Lee Byung Hun, as I was looking for a music video of the OST of Iris today, I found another heartbreaking video by Park Hyo Shin(박 효신). This guy is really amazing. I love his voice. There's so much emotion that he puts to it when he sings. This song After Love(사랑 후에) is from his latest album The Gift. Actually there are two music videos for the song (part1 and part2). It's like a mini-movie. It's a very sad love story. I don't mean to make you sad this Christmas but I thought I must share this videos.
Part 2
Part 1
I'm loving Korean ballads even more. I really need to make room for more of Park Hyo Shin and other ballad MV downloads in the future so I think I should backup my files now. I think I will need a virtual tape library vtl. Anyhow, I purposely posted the Part2 first because I think it would be more dramatic if you watch part2 first. You'll appreciate the videos even more.
PS. Do you know that Park Hyo Shin sang Taeyang's Only Look at Me? And his cover was also beautiful. Also check out his song Snow Flower. I like it too.

Happy 4th Anniversary to Super Junior
Wow. It's been 4 years. I became a fan just last year. It's good to know that they have come sooooo far from the training days when all they worked hard for was to debut and achieve their dreams. I'm so happy for all the beautiful things that happened to them. For all the achievements they have received, they never forget to thank their fans, their family, and God. Most of all, I am very happy that until now, despite all the bad things that tried to pull them down, they're still here, they're still 13, they're still brothers who look after each other and love each other. I hope they never get tired of following their dreams, loving each other, and loving their fans.
From Leeteuk to ELF, that's Super Junior.

2PM Become Wild Bunnies?
Ever wondered how idols groups actually behave off-cam and what are the things they really want to do but can't because they're idols? Well MNET has a new reality show that I am now officially addicted to. It features a different side of 2PM. Jaebum, Nichkhun, Junsu, Taecyeon, Wooyoung, Junho, and Chansung, will be filmed in between schedules in their dorms and other locations and show a sneak peak of their lives as idols. Let's watch them do funny and dorky things as they attempt to do non-idol-like things in this show. The show started in July 21st and aired a new episode once every week.
Here's the opening vid of the new show Wild Bunny.. hmmm.. aren't they adorable?? I promise you'll really enjoy and laugh a lot.. *wink

2NE1 Wins Mutizen
Their songs are really catchy. And just yesterday, they won the Mutizen Award in SBS Inkigayo as their song Fire became number one surpassing Super Junior's It's You, Shinee's Juliette, and many other hit songs. Here is a clip of the announcement of the No. 1 song in Inkigayo yesterday.
They just debuted this year under YG Entertainment. Their first song was Lollipop with their sunbaes Big Bang. 2NE1 is composed of Park Bom, CL, Sandara, and Minzy.

LYRICS FT Island - First Kiss (Chot Kisseu)
영화처럼 멋질수 있을까
yeong hwa cheoreom meot jeel soo ees-eul gga
could it be as amazing as the movies
그녀와 옛 처음 입맞춤
geu nyu wa yet cho-eum eeb mat-choom
with that girl, the first kiss
내일 다시 만날것 같은데
nae-eel da-shi mahn nal geot gateun deh
i think ill meet her again tomorrow
왜 벌써부터 두근거리는 떨린 가슴이
weh beol sseo boo deo doo geun geo lee neun ddeol leen gaseum-ee
why is my heart already beating fast
터질것 같은지
deo jeel geot gateun jee
and it feels like its going to explode
솜사탕 같을까 궁금해
som-sah tahng gat-eul gga goong geum heh
i wonder if it will be like cotton-candy
눈을 감고 상상해 혹시 그녀도
noon eul gahm go sang sang heh hok shi geu nyu doe
i close my eyes and wonder
지금 이순간 똑같은 상상을 할까
jee geum eeh soon gahn ddok gateun sang sang eul gal gga
if the girl is thinking the same
사탕처럼 달콤할것 같아
satang churum dalkom hal gut gat-ah
i think it will be sweet like candy
왠지 아카시아 향기도 날것 같아
wenjee akah shee-ah hyangee doe nal gut gat-ah
i also think that the aroma will be like that of a flower
향기에 취해 버릴까봐
hyangee eh chwee heh buleel gga bwa
i might get drunk off the aroma
그게 걱정이돼
geu geh guk jungee dwe
thats what im worried about
근데 그보다 큰 걱정은
geun deh geu bo da keun guk jung eun
but more than that, the bigger worry is,
아무도 믿지 않겠지만
ah moo doe meet jee ahn get-jee mahn
though many may not believe,
나 솔직히 아직 까지 키스 해본적 없다는걸
na sol jeek hee ajeek gga jee kisseu heh bonjuk ub da neun gul
honestly, i have never kissed anyone
영화처럼 고개를 돌릴까
yunghwa churum go geh leul doleel gga
should i turn my head like in the movies?
입을 맞춘후에 어떻게 숨을 쉴까
eeb eul mat choon who eh uh dduh keh soom eul shweel gga
how should i breathe after the kiss?
그게또 걱정돼
geu geh ddoe guk jung dweh
that also worries me
눈은 언제쯤에 감는지 코는 어떡하는지
noon eun unjeh jjeum eh gahm neun jee koe neun uh dduk ha neun jee
when should i close my eyes, and how should my nose be placed
대체 얼마나 오래 하는지
deh che uhl mahna oleh ha neun jee
how long should it be
도대체 알수가 없어
doe deh che ahlsoo ga ubsuh
i dont know
사탕 처럼 달콤한 너라면
satang churum dalkome hahn nuh la myun
if you were sweet like candy
아주 오랫동안 그대로 있을거야
ah joo oh let dong ahn geu deh lo ees eul guh ya
then i will stay like that for a long time
입술에 취해 버린대도 밤은 새울거야
eeb sool eh chwee heh buleen deh doe bahm eun se-ool guh ya
even if i become drunk off your lips, i will stay up
서툰 내가 싫다 할까봐 나먼저
sutoon neh ga sheelta hal gga bwa nah munjuh
im afraid that you might not like me
고백해버릴까
gobek heh buleel gga
so i will confess first
나 솔직히 입맞춤은 키스 니가 처음이야
nah soljeek hee eeb matchoom eun kisseu nee ga chu-eum eeya
honestly, this kiss is my first
그런 걱정으로 밤샌지 아주 오래 지난후
geu lun guk jung eulo bahm senjee ajoo o-leh jee nahn who
it has been a while since i have been staying up with those worries
우린 드디어 어느 깊은 밤 살며치 입을 맞췄지
oo-leen deu-dee-uh uh neu geepeun bahm salmyu chi eeb eul maht-chwut-jee
finally, we kissed on a long night
레몬보다 더한 달콤함에 그냥 그대로 난 꼼짝할수
lemone boda duhan dalkome hahm eh geu-nyang geu dero nahn ggom jjak halsoo
sweeter than a lemon, i couldnt move from that position
없었어 행복에 취해 버린채로
ubs-uss-uh hengbok eh chwi heh buleen chero
i was happy
얼어 버린거야
ul-uh buleen gu-ya
i became frozen
서툰 그녀가 왜 이렇게 고맙고 다행스러운지
suh toon geu nyu-ga whe eeluh geh go mahp go daheng seu lu oon jee
that girl was thankful and it was a relief
약속할게 나 영원히 키스 너하고만 할게
yak sok hal-geh na yung won hee kisseu nuh hago mahn halgeh
i will promise, i will forever only kiss you
키스 너하고만 할게...
kisseu nuh hago mahn halgeh...
i will only kiss you...
Translation by: epic jihae@LOVEFT-I
what a beautiful song.. this is one of my favorite tracks from FT Island's Cheerful Sensibility Album. Everytime I listen to this song or watch the video where they performed it during their first concert, I always end up smiling to myself. The joy of first kiss.. hahaha! the worries and joys of first love.. It's really unforgettable. So highschool-ish right? But those are the most beautiful moments of a person's life. Whenever you go back on those memories, you just can't help but smile. That person may not be the one that you'll end up with in the future, but will always be a part of your life.
