[Green Face] Youthful Beauty OST

As the title says, Jeong Dan sung one of the OST of the drama “동안 미녀” (Youthful Beauty). This song is the theme song of Choi Jin-Wook (starred by Choi Daniel) when he’s broken hearted. And if I remember correctly, this song was personally written by Jeong Dan himself ^^

Actually I just came back from his show case, and I think he just won a new fan in me~ ^^ He sung many songs from his solo albums, and duet with special guest Yang Jongmo the song Beautiful Truth from Boohwal’s 9th album and together with Yang and Son Jin-Young the song “아름다운 구속” by Kim Jong-Seo~ ^_^ He also sung his own song “Emerald Sea” from Boohwal 9th album 🙂

Green Face also shared the news about Lee Seong-Wook, saying that he’s gotten a lot better and we shouldn’t worry much, the surgery went successful. He said he’ll drag him out of the hospital if necessary to make sure he makes it to the concerts ^^ Now enjoy Jeong Dan’s song, which he also sung today~ ♥

사랑은 그리움의 친구입니다
(Love is a friend of longing)

나의 귓가에 들리네요 나의 두눈에 보이네요  (it’s heard in my ears, it’s seen in my two eyes)
나도 모르게 이길에 멈춰서네요 (didn’t realize I was stopping on this street)
함께 걷던 이길위에 오래된 그 편의점에  (that old convenience store on this street we walked together)
익숙한 노래가 들려 내맘을 자꾸 흔들죠  (heard a familiar song, swaying my heart)

아마도 사랑은 내겐 어려운가봐요  (maybe love is a difficult thing for me)
잊으려해도 지우려 해도 꼭 잡으려해도  (even if i try to forget, i try to erase, or when i try to hold on)
이별은 왜그리 많이 쉬운 건가요  (why does separation comes so easy)
내게로와 아픈 가슴에 그리움만 주고 가네요 (you only make my hurting heart miss you much and left)

나의 귓가에 들리네요 나의 두눈에 보이네요  (it’s heard in my ears, it’s seen in my two eyes)
나도 모르게 그대를 그려보네요 (didn’t realize I was drawing you)
함께 있던 그 가게에 오래된 그 편의점에 (that shop we went together, that old convenience store)
익숙한 향기가 흘러 네가 또 자꾸 생각나 (a familiar scent, making you come to mind)

아마도 사랑은 내겐 어려운가봐요 (maybe love is a difficult thing for me)
잊으려해도 지우려 해도 꼭 잡으려해도 (even if i try to forget, i try to erase, or when i try to hold on)
이별은 왜그리 많이 쉬운 건가요 (why does separation comes so easy)
내게로와 아픈 가슴에 그리움만 주고 가네요 (you only make my hurting heart miss you much and left)

차가운 바람이 내얼굴을 만져요 (cold wind touches my face)
사랑은 그리움으로 변해가요 (love turns into longing)
잠시 쉬어가면 좋을 텐데 왜그리 빨리 (i’d be better if I could take a short rest before moving on, why so fast)
도망치듯 달아나요 소리쳐봐도 (running away as if escaping, even if I scream)

아마도 사랑은 내겐 아닌가봐요 (maybe love is not for me)

사랑은 지워도 지울 수 없는 가봐요 (looks like you can’t erase love even if you try)
숨이 멎어도 눈이 멀어도 절대로 안돼요 (even if I stop breathing, you’re far from sight, I couldn’t)
그리움이 대신 오래된 친구처럼  (instead of longing, like an old friend)
또 오네요 내 가슴으로 멀어질 듯 다가 오네요 (here it comes again, coming closer as if my heart will move further)

[Collaboration Project + 2] 누구나 사랑을 한다 “Everybody Love”

[Boohwal Collaboration Project +2] is a genius project. Boohwal Entertainment had hinted that they will have four vocals for this second collaboration project, but never crossed my mind that they would collaborate 4 Boohwal former and current vocals. It’s simply genius!! In this song, you can hear Jeong Dong-Ha’s unique and powerful color, Lee Seong-Wook’s soft yet powerful voice, Jeong Dan’s rock flavor, and of course Park Wan Gyu’s strong high tone.

Again, the music video has been released now (look below), so please please please do not illegally download and share this song through sharing sites. Please use legal downloading sites such as bugs, m-net, naver or soribada.

Now, I would like to assume that you’re all familiar with the three invited vocalists whose voice are in this collaboration +2 project. 박완규 (Park Wan-Kyu) was Boohwal’s vocalist from 1996-1997, and he was the main spotlight in Boohwal’s 5th Album [Discovery of Fire]. He was also the first partner for Boohwal Collaboration Project +1, singing “비밀” (Secret). 이성욱 (Lee Seong-Wook) was Boohwal’s vocalist in 2000, at the release of the7th album “Color”. The 7th album was also the first album that Seo Jae-Hyuck took part in after joining Boohwal. 정단 (Jeong Dan) was the last vocalist of Boohwal before Jeong Dongha came along. He was the vocalist in Boohwal’s 9th album [Over the Rainbow], as well as the OST of the movie “A Moment to Remember” (머리속에 지우게) which Kim Tae Won worked on the music for.

Well, only if you’re interested, I’d like to know how many people could make up the different voices among these four vocalist. If you can answer correctly whose voice are in each of the reddened parts (if you don’t read Korean, just divide it by paragraph), I’ll give a special video present to the first three people who come up with correct answers. The time limit is Saturday 12 pm Korean time. 😉 [over]

Now, a little bit about the song. “누구나 사랑을 한다” was originally sung by a senior female Korean singer 정훈희 (Jeong Hoon-Hee). The song was of course written and composed by Kim Tae Won, and inserted in her “40th Anniversary Celebration” album in 2008. Now, enjoy the music video of “누구나 사랑을 한다” (Everybody Love)~ ^^

3-5-7-9

The music video started with flashes of “8.1.1” from Boohwal’s 3rd album which was a song dedicated to Kim Jegi (김재기)(the instrumental song starts with the spelling of his name), “Lonely Night” from Boohwal’s 5th album which was sung by Park Wan-Gyu, “얀녕” (Goodbye) from Boohwal’s 7th album sung by Lee Sung-Wook, and “아름다운 사실” (Beautiful Truth) from Boohwal’s 9th sung by Jeong Dan. I think the reason “8.1.1” was also inserted is symbolic, if Kim Jegi were still alive today, he would be part of this album too.

누구나 사랑을 한다 (Everybody Love)

.

지금 이 순간에도 어떤 이들은
사랑이라는 걸 만들어 가겠죠
이별이란 한 마디는 상상할 수 없는 채로

(Jeong Dong-Ha)
Now at this moment too, some people are in the process of loving,
even the word “separation” is unimaginable

누군가는 사랑을 하고, 누군가는 헤어진다는
알 수 없는 날이 다가오고 있는 걸
서로 모르는 시간에서

(Park Wan Kyu)
While there is someone loving, there is someone separating
That a day we couldn’t predict is coming, we have no knowledge of

내일을 알 수는 없겠죠
어쩌면이라고 예상 할 뿐이죠
늘 생각했던 게 늘 바래왔던 게
이뤄져 가는 거죠 이뤄져 온 거겠죠

(Lee Seong-Wook)
We don’t know what tomorrow holds, we can only make predictions
The things we think of, the thinks for we hope for, are in the process of coming true

누군가는 사랑을 하고, 누군가는 헤어진다는
알 수 없는 날이 다가오고 있는 걸
서로 모르는 시간에서

(Jeong Dan)
While there is someone loving, there is someone separating
That a day we couldn’t predict is coming, we have no knowledge of

내일을 알 수는 없겠죠
어쩌면이라고 예상 할 뿐이죠
늘 생각했던 게 늘 바래왔던 게
이뤄져 가는 거죠 이뤄져 온 거겠죠

(Jeong Dong-Ha)
We don’t know what tomorrow holds, we can only make predictions
The things we think of, the thinks for we hope for, are in the process of coming true

언젠간이란 아름다운 얘기
그 누군가의 기도로 이뤄져
예상할 수 없는 그 어느 날에
Always

(Jeong Dan)
A beautiful story for someday, coming true through somebody’s wish
On a day no body can predicts, always

내일을 알 수는 없겠죠
어쩌면이라고 예상 할 뿐이죠
늘 생각했던 게 늘 바래왔던 게
이뤄져 가는 거죠 이뤄져 온 거겠죠

(Lee Seong-Wook)
We don’t know what tomorrow holds, we can only make predictions
(Park Wan-Kyu)
The things we think of, the thinks for we hope for, are in the process of coming true

누구나 상상을 하겠죠
언젠간이라는 아름다운 얘길
견딜 수 없도록 힘겨운 날들이
지금의 너와 나를 만들어 왔던 거죠

(Together)
Everybody imagines, a beautiful story someday
The difficult days I can’t bear, you and I made it to this moment

누구나 상상을 하겠죠
언젠간이라는 아름다운 얘길
견딜 수 없도록 힘겨운 날들이
지금의 너와 나를

(Together)
Everybody imagines, a beautiful story someday
The difficult days I can’t bear, you and I

만들어 왔던 거죠

(Jeong Dan)
made it to this moment

[9th Album] Over the Rainbow

Boohwal’s 9th Album, “Over the Rainbow”, released in 2003, and the repackage series released in 2004. This was before Jeong Dong Ha joined Boohwal. The band had 5 members then. Aside from Kim Tae Won on guitar, Seo Jae Hyuck on bass, and Chae Je Min on drum, Eom Soo Han (keyboard) and Jeong Dan (vocal) were in the band.

The 9th album also marked Boohwal’s first attempt to get into the Chinese market, by making the Chinese version of “아름다운 사실” (Beautiful Truth) titled 美麗的事實 in Chinese. And I’ve only known today that they also remade the song “사랑할수록”  (The More I Love) and made a Chinese version of it for the repackage version of this album, titled 雪夜的街* in Chinese.

*my Chinese friend translates it as “the street in a snowy night”
