Kim Beom-soo was surprised that Kim Hyun Joong's overseas fans could understand Korean. KHJ said he was surprised sometimes too, as fans were very good in Korean especially when he read fans' letters, almost like a local Korean. However, Koreans have this 'habit' that they tend to spurt some 'foul' words whenever they are happy or angry. An example of the fan's letter written by overseas fans: 'I like oppa, I am 18 years old this year. I really f***ing like you'. He was thankful that overseas fans are well interested in Korea, but he wish that Koreans (or those who understand Korean) can teach overseas fans appropriately.

KHJ said he thought that his title song, Your Story, music video would probably be rated as 19+, but it turned out that the evaluation given was rated to be suitable for all ages. And he was relieved by that results as many people would be surprised by the alluring & classy MV. He said the editing part was difficult.
Fans left a message saying that the music video was rated 19+ already and he was taken aback by the news, but he said it was alright.
KHJ talked about scuba diving and he said that he was drop-dead afraid to enter the sea last time because of the movie 'Jaws' he watched when he was young. So to overcome the fear, he picked up scuba diving and realized the beauty of the sea. He wished that while he's carrying out his promotion activities as an entertainer, he could also take part in going under the sea (scuba diving) too. 

Talking about the Master Diving competition in Barefoot Friends, Kim Beom-soo asked whether KHJ was nervous. He answered that as he practiced a lot, he wasn't so nervous anymore & he found the charming point in diving too. He put in a lot of effort to make the impossible possible.

Next he said that since he's making his comeback, fans had prepared a lot of food support for him, but he couldn't eat as much as that & he felt a bit wasteful to throw away the food leftovers as they are after all, bought with money. As he can afford to buy himself food to eat & he know fans wanted to support him a lot, so he won't wish for anything else much but just wanted the fans to download his songs just for 600won each. It would be great if fans could download his songs, come to his concert, buy 1 or 2 copies of his physical albums.
Before UNBREAKABLE was played, KHJ explained that UNBREAKABLE is a track with the essence derived from the traditional Korean song (the chorus part was derived from the song), also to promote Korea through the song as a Hallyu star. 

Selecting 'Best 5 Common Addictive Songs that 20 years old above preferred',

5) Kim Beom-soo's Come Back To Me
He said there was once after he had broken up, he fell in love with this song a lot and it was a song that brings back a lot of memories

4) 1TYM's One Love
3) JYP's Elevator Umm Umm Umm(음음음)
He thinks that among the singers in Korea, Park Jin-young has the sexiest voice among all, that he was able to bring songs so alive.

2) Jay Park's Joah 
He thinks that the song was sexy because of the confidence in Jay Park's voice. And he thought that Jay Park is the JYP in this generation. It would be great to listen to the song in this hot weather or while driving as it can lift up your mood.

1) Son Dambi's Crazy 
A song that really drives people crazy. KHJ said that it's a song that really blows men out of their minds. A fan left a message in the message board saying that 'Kim HyunJoong is also very sexy' and KHJ said he wasn't as sexy as Son Dambi.


After that, KHJ said that he doesn't want to be in any relationship now & definitely not going to reveal his relationship to public if he does have a girlfriend. He explained that if he wasn't an entertainer, he could be able to date someone freely. For a public figure, if the girlfriend broke up with him and meet someone else, she might carry the title of 'ex-girlfriend of xxx' and it would be difficult for her to get marry too. That's why he don't want to reveal his relationship to the public, although he will definitely announce it if he's getting married. He said that his ideal type would be someone who could do things that they share in common together freely. --> such a thoughtful n warm-hearted person ^^ HJ ah

When asked KHJ if he reached Kim Beom-soo's age(34) & yet to be married, he said he would feel insecured. Sometimes when he look at his friends who are already married and have child, he feels that he needs to settle down, and he felt a tad bit jealous unknowingly

--> Dont be worry HJ oppa, somedays YOU definetely find your better half ^^

[Star of the Week] Kim Hyun Joong, the Man who Doesn’t Stop Giving

repost from: http://m.enewsworld.interest.me/news/news_view.asp?nsID=41887

“I believe I should always be careful and act responsibly.”

These are the words of the 27-year old singer when asked about any prejudice or rumors about himself. 

He stated that he didn’t think there was anything he needed to clear up, and he’s completely right, because Kim Hyun Joong has never really done anything to cause trouble. 

In fact, Kim Hyun Joong is actually the exact opposite. His name gets put into headlines for all the good things he’s done for not himself, but for others. 

Fans Donate in the Name of Oppa

Although the donation was not made by himself directly, it was Kim Hyun Joong that inspired his fans to do something good in his name. 

Back in August of 2012, Kim Hyun Joong’s fanclub, ‘Kim Hyun Joong Powerful S. My Club’
donated a whopping 10 million won to the ‘Heartless Campaign.’

The ‘Heartless Campaign’ focuses on taking care of the elderly, especially those who live alone. With Korea’s summer being excruciating hot and humid, .the donations made by Kim Hyun Joong’s fans purchased 175 electric fans and 100 light weight summer blankets for the elderly.

Then in March of 2013, Kim Hyung Joong’s fans over in Japan also donated 11 million won to support Kim Hyun Joong’s Scholarship fund for students who need help with financial aid. 

And then, don′t forget the overflowing amounts of rice wreaths sent in for each event that Kim Hyun Joong′s ever held! 

One Good Deed Leads to Another

When someone does something so awesome in your name, it’s almost impossible not to be moved. 

Kim Hyun Joong was so touched by the selfless actions by his fans that he was inspired to do his own kind act by donating 50 million won out of his own pocket to help those in need. 

Kim Hyun Joong made the donation to the Beautiful Fund, which is where the fans also donated, where he was able to help out the elderly as well as provide scholarships to university students in need of financial aid.

It came as a surprise, as not many stars respond to their fans deeds in the way Kim Hyun Joong did. 

Love Has No Boundaries

Just as the foreign fans have donated for Kim Hyun Joong, Kim Hyun Joong also spread his love to those in need out of Korea. 

When Japan was hit with a terrible earthquake in 2011, many celebrities supported the aching country with words of encouragement and monetary support to rebuild what was lost.

Kim Hyun Joong felt the need to contribute, so he sent over 100 million won to help the citizens who lost everything. 

His agency stated that Kim Hyun Joong felt terrible able hearing about the news and wanted to contribute to bring life back to normal. “Although [the amount] may be weak, he hopes that it will be some help to the people.”

He even specifically requested that the money get sent to people who really need it more. 

Secretly and Greatly

From what we know about Kim Hyun Joong in broadcasts, he’s not the loudest person ever. He keeps to himself at times, making it hard to praise him when needed. 

In 2011, it came as a surprise to his company, KeyEast when reporters started calling in about a donation Kim Hyun Joong made the Red Cross. 

It turned out in the midst of promotions and preparations to work in Japan, Kim Hyun Joong had donated 50 million won to the Red Cross to support people who suffered in Thailand’s floods. 

KeyEast, who later learned of the details shared that Kim Hyun Joong did not wish for his deed to be known to the public. “Only one manager knew. The majority of the people in the company did not know.”

In Action

While there is nothing wrong with donating financially, there’s just something extra heartwarming when you actually go out on location to help out. 

Facing the winter’s sharp winds, Kim Hyun Joong bundled up and headed out into -10 degree Celsius weather to deliver coal with the food company he was the model for at the time. 

Together with 100 fans, Kim Hyun Joong delivered a total of 20,000 coal briquettes to warm the houses for many people during the winter. The coal briquettes were a donation made by the food company and Kim Hyun Joong, who contributed 10,000 pieces. 

Despite the cold weather, Kim Hyun Joong kept a bright smile on his face, warming everyone who passed him along the way.

[Vietsub] Your Story SS501 KIM HYUN JOONG

[Star of the Week] [Interview] Kim Hyun Joong Worked On ′Round 3′ Like It Would Be His Last

repost from: http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/41792

one thing needs to be corrected is that HYUN JOONG is STILL the LEADER of SS501

-------------------

This former leader of SS501 and flower boy of Boys Over Flowers is back as a manly solo singer.

He previously landed a steady career as a solo singer in 2011, releasing two mini albums in a row, but he′s back again two years from then to really cement his newfound status in Korea.

His third mini album Round 3 drew only the best staff for its music, choreography, music video and photography, and includes a total of six tracks, some of which have already been floated successfully on the overseas market.

It means that Kim Hyun Joong really put his back into the album. It′s his first comeback in a long time, and he really wants to find his place as a solo singer.

"The title of the album is Round 3. I came up with it while watching the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). The UFC has only three rounds. I′ll probably continue to release albums, but I really poured all my efforts in this one like it would be my last. It has all the last efforts I could muster."

Thanks to this mindset and the concerts he had held overseas during the last two years, it seemed this singer had indeed grown. He put all the know-hows he had picked up on the stage into his album.

"I felt pressured because I wasn′t sure whether my fans would be waiting for me, but I′m thankful that the album′s been getting favorable reviews after its release. I′ve learned how to be more laid back on the stage in my concert tour, and it helped that I tried out a lot of different genres of music in Japan. I put a variety of genres in the album."

Kim Hyun Joong was in top shape, both in quality and in confidence.

He not only wanted to prove he was still very much alive, he also wanted to express the beauty of Korean tradition in his music as a hallyu star.

"I thought a lot about what makes up real K-Pop. I wanted to include the beauty of Korea in my music while I′m still influential overseas. That′s how Round 3 came to be."

His music video for Unbreakable, released on July 18, shows sword dancing and all kinds of traditional dances, while his album cover uses traditional mask patterns and drawings of Korean goblins.

Your Story, on the other hand, represents the change that has come over his music. It concentrates more on his voice rather than his powerful performances.

"The reason I tried to emphasize my voice even when I′m not a singer recognized for his vocals is because I wanted to show how hard I′ve worked to come to where I am now. It felt great to hear that I′ve improved and that the past eight years of my career weren′t for nothing. I′ll work hard with the confidence my fans have given me."

[Star of the Week] Meaningful Quotes Born from Kim Hyun Joong’s 4D Mind

Repost from: http://mwave.interest.me/enewsworld/en/article/41848

When you think the term ‘4-D,’ one of the celebrities that come to mind is Kim Hyun Joong. Although he may carry a serious or blank expression at times, that mind of his is always in motion, formulating something amazing to say to sweep the hearts of fans away.

Taking the focus away from his handsome face, his sweet vocals, and his awesomely sculpted body for a second or two, here are some very touching and inspirational quotes from Kim Hyun Joong.

On Sexual Predators

In 2011, Kim Hyun Joong appeared on SBS’ Strong Heart to hear that SNSD’s Jessica could have been in a dangerous situation with a man who stalked her all the way to her apartment.

When asked how to help women protect themselves from sexual predators, Kim Hyun Joong had a very simple but strong answer.

“It’s the men who need to come to their senses.”

If only all men were like Kim Hyun Joong.

On Text Voting

After finding out that the text voting for the 2006 MKMF cost money, Kim Hyun Joong turned to SS501’s official website to talk with the fans.

He wrote about how he found out that the voting cost money and the total already gathered up equaled to an overwhelming amount.

“I’ve told you before, but I will enjoy the stage now. The 
rookie award may only come once, but I believe that if we try 
our best, we will be able to earn an even bigger award later 
one. Honestly, if you say an award is important, it’s 
important. But more than an award, I believe that the fun of
 seeing SS501 on stage, to play, enjoy, and laughter is much 
more important.”

Kim Hyun Joong asked that instead of voting, the fans just enjoy the stage that SS501 has prepared, since no amount of money could equal the memories SS501 will share with the fans.

Regardless of whether or not they received a trophy, we believe SS501 definitely won that night.

On Happiness

Traveling through Vietnam in excruciating hot weather, Kim Hyun Joong learned that he was a lucky person.

Having to find part time jobs to finance himself during the entire trip, Kim Hyun Joong came to this conclusion.

“I used to think that if I wasn’t a person who did this kind of 
work (being a celebrity), I wouldn’t be depressed. But 
through 
this experience, I learned that it’s the hardest to live a very 
normal life. I’m a really happy person. I am such a content 
person doing what I want to do, so I can’t imagine why I ever
 thought I was an unfortunate person.”

We have a lot to learn from this young man.

On Hospitality and Happiness

On that same trip to Vietnam, not only did Kim Hyun Joong realize the truth about happiness, he learned of the hospitality of the people that hosted the Barefooted Friends team. 

At one point, Kang Ho Dong even became teary-eyed, being touched by how kind the Vietnamese people were, paying attention and taking care of the program cast and crew. 

Kim Hyun Joong then quieted slipped in this quote:

”When people are happy, they become more generous.”

Kang Ho Dong then joked that Kim Hyun Joong’s tone of voice took away from the meaningful quote, but he later added that he will use Kim Hyun Joong’s quote when he has the chance. 

Now, there are many more amazing things that came out of Kim Hyun Joong’s mouth, but since this has been a pretty serious article so far, we leave you with this last one. 

"Ssangchu."

That is all. 

Kim Hyun Joong KBS Guerilla Interview on 27 July 2013

source pictures: from blog.daum.net/a-hlia/3203 
tweet from: @5Starsas1

[Guerilla Date translation tidbits] #김현중 #Your Story

A Japanese fan was interviewed with her Korean boyfriend. MC asked whether the boyfriend was jealous because her girlfriend likes KHJ and he answered yes. They even had little fights because of KHJ when the girlfriend ditched the boyfriend to send KHJ off in the airport. When MC asked the girlfriend who she likes better, she answered her boyfriend but when asked who's more handsome, she answered Kim Hyun Joong.

Another fangirl was asked what's KHJ's charming points and she answered jawline and she also asked for a back hug as a fan service. Before KHJ gave her the backhug, he asked whether she has a boyfriend which she really has. (hahaha perhaps he's afraid the boyfriend will be jealous again? ㅋㅋㅋ)

A man being interview said KHJ's charming points are his distinct facial features along with his small face. When asked what type of fan service he wants, he was given 4 choices which is:

1) Hug 2) Back hug 3) Cross his arms with KHJ's 4) Shake hand and touch his face

and the man chose Option 2 which is back hug,

After the backhug, KHJ said 'Man are of course their backs'

KHJ said Your Story MV still isn't been released yet as it haven't passed the rating evaluation yet. The reason being is that the MV contains kiss scene with the girl.

Regarding his anticipation for the upcoming album, he wishes for a 600KRW miracle (600won is the price to download 1 song in digital sites ^^) But he said jokingly his aim is not to get the first place in digitals. Also he said whenever he has comeback, fans would prepare lunch boxes for him. He said jokingly that fans need not do that as he also has the money to buy himself something to eat, instead he wish for the 600KRW miracle! He trust the miracle that 600won can do!!

KHJ said he felt at ease even when he's having activities in overseas because he likes the hotel. He can feel the countries' cultures via the hotel breakfast.

KHJ said he's somehow a 'ghost-liked' sunbae. Whenever the hoobaes greets him, he runs away because he feels awkward/shy. MC said whenever the hoobaes greet the sunbaes, sunbaes always said something like 'I think you're doing great, keep up the great work'..but KHJ honestly said he couldn't comment on something like that because he didn't really check out on the hoobaes.

When asked what about the girl-groups hoobaes, he said he always watch their MVs through Youtube(Internet). He was interested in the girl-group called Crayon Pop because Crayon Pop's Bar Bar Bar choregraphy was very similar to Lucky Guy's high high high dance choreography. And he said jokingly 'Should I sue them?...'

Finally tomorrow my comeback happens.

It hasn't hit me yet. I don't feel any yet. As always it rains to greet my comeback.

Does it help... since Your Story is an emotional song??????

At least it helps the heat subside, so still feels good.

I didn't write 'thanks to' on this album. Actually I have many people to be thankful for,

If I would miss one of them, the person could be disappointed. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just keep it as an insurance (*just in case). --

I am thinking I will try many things for 5 weeks promotion period.

'Your Story', 'Unbreakable' and other songs as well ^^

You must be surprised as soon as seeing my 'Gentle Man' performance... -- Truly, I like it myself. ㅋㅋ too much self-praise?

(That's what I am feeling no matter how you agree with me) Or not at all... Besides don't you know I

prepared 'Like Before' choreography???? It's just me who know that. ㅋㅋㅋ

You must be curious..ㅋㅋ Then join the concert even if no one knows when it would happen.

ㅋㄷㅋㄷ What (am I doing) Seems I am writing this message to tease you... anyway

This year is more than half over and only 5 months left.

How quickly flies?????????? Everyday just flies at superspeed. There are so many things I want to do while 

I have only one body during time flies. Still I will do what I want through my life, so don't worry.

This is what I feel, positive people seem to be happy. Let's say 'good job', 'it's okay' rather than blame 

others and envy other people's happiness.

Or you will suffer from heartache. ㅋㅋ no matter what happens~~ well, that's what I felt ^^

'Your Story' is.... its MV is.... --;;; you must be shocked...

since it's too adult ....................................................................

sorry.................................................................................

You can leave me.......................................................ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I will try to make up for that with 'Gentle Man' if you are upset with ('Your Story') MV--;;; huh...ㅋㅋ

Anyway I am going to write down 'thanks to'


I am very thankful to my fans who always stand by me. 

I do not know when it would be, someday we would not be able to meet any longer but let's keep missing

 each other and not forget the memories. ^^

I keep piling up neatly all the pleasant memories in my heart in order to open and see whenever I miss you.


Let's live happily~~~ 'Your Story' is the song just for you ^^ fighting

If you have tissue... when you see 'Your Story' MV... bring it. You will need it. Bite your tongue to keep

your tears back when you watch it.

Thank you as always,, wrapping up ROUND3 album work.... from 28 year old Kim Hyun Joong

☆★☆★☆

eh how to say. I have mixture feelings when seeing his message.

His funny and unique style of writing is as usual with many typos. He always pours out his own feelings, showing the real HJ to us.

My heart aches when HJ said that he would recall the happy memories he had had with his fan to cover the

missing/longing. when HJ and his fans cant meet so frequent as before. (maybe he mentions abt his military service)

as the time passes, those precious memories i had with you can't be erased, so please dont say things like this, HJ ah.

so as you said " I will live most positively and without regretting being your fans.

[Article] Is KIM HYUN JOONG UNBREAKABLE? by Pat @ Seoulbeats [23.07.13]

source: http://seoulbeats.com/2013/07/is-kim-hyun-joong-unbreakable/
Take out with full credit
 i myself see that this article is nice ^^ i can learn more abt Korean traditional item and good analysis abt Hyun Joong as well.

☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠☠

After two years, Kim Hyun-joong is back with “Unbreakable,” the pre-release MV off of his aptly titled third mini-album, Round Three. This is also the most masculine we’ve seen Kim Hyun-joong who is most famous to casual fans as that pretty boy from Boys Over Flowers. 
The MV is nothing like his previous lead track, “Lucky Guy,” and is reminiscent of “Break Down.”

The MV opens with two scenes: traditional drums and a horse which later transforms into a car. 
On first view, this MV is two things: visually confusing and hot. It’s obviously hot because of the performance of Kim Hyun-joong and Jay Park, who appears as a featuring artist. It’s visually confusing due to the array of art forms incorporated. 
We have a horse, a bull, a hawk, sword dancing, traditional Korean dancing, and someone painting a dragon. 

All this is inter-woven with scenes of Kim Hyun-joong dancing, Jay Park rapping, and some more scenes of Kim Hyun-joong dancing.

Closer viewing of the MV though makes sense of all these seemingly random and out-of-place elements. 

This MV makes use of heavy symbolism. 

The bull transforms into a Lamborghini whose logo features a bull. 

The horse transforms into a Ferrari whose logo is famous for featuring the horse. 

The dragon which is being painted has several meanings. It is a mystical animal known for giving good luck, and in Korea, the dragon also stands as a symbol of the king.

The goblin, or dokkaebi, is also heavily used. It can be seen in the background, on Kim Hyun-joong’s chest and the person on the white horse also wears a goblin mask. The dokkaebi is a mythical being that appears in many Korean folktales and is associated with mischievousness, but is regarded as harmless creatures.

The MV features a unique mix of traditional Korean culture and new trends. 

On the traditional side, here is someone doing a tal-chum or mask dance, playing the traditional drums, a traditional painting, and two sword dancers (one of whom is Infinite Dong-woo’s older sister). 

On the more current side, there is break dancing and cars. There is also a particular scene where break dancing is combined with Korean ribbon hat dancing, or the sangmo.

That all these scenes are interwoven beautifully with the other scenes are a testament to the editing team because this MV is beautifully edited and fits with the color scheme which enhanced the overall feel of the song. 

It switched between the scenes in such a way that the MV did not become stagnant, so that the viewers would not get bored. But at the same time, each aspect shown was given an amount of time for it to be observed before going back to Kim Hyun-joong and his dancing.

The choreography shown is simple when compared to some other K-pop dances, but it is clean choreography. It enhances the beat and melody of the song, and Kim Hyun-joong executes it all perfectly. 

In addition, it seems as if the choreography played into the masculine feel that Kim Hyun-joong and his team seemed to be aiming for. Bonus points are given for that hat dance done during the first Jay Park rap break.

Jay Park’s rap breaks seems to be placed strategically as to give a quick change of pace to the song. They have a decent flow and did not overpower Kim Hyun-joong in any way, which is a good thing since he’s just a featured artist and there have been times in K-pop where the featured artist over shines the artist itself.

Fashionwise, it was very simple. There are no avant-garde outfits, no flowery suits, no neckties and stuff like that. It is very basic with tank tops, jackets, hats and a brief appearance of Kim Hyun-joong looking dashing in a white button down.

 His new hair might have had some people surprised at first, but his hair highlights his masculine features in a way his old hair never could have.

All in all, this is the first time I’ve been impressed with Kim Hyun-joong and I’m excited for the rest of his album and the title track. 

The only real negative thing I could say is that he wore a little too much clothes, a realization I had when the MV reached the 2:40 mark.

Kim Hyun-joong’s “Unbreakable” lives up to its expectations. 

Thank to all the K-pop deities that his shirt was not unbreakable.

For a pre-release MV, this was impressive with a 4/5.

Kim Hyun Joong is sizzling in BTS clip for star1 pictorial

In conjunction with the release of his latest mini-album 'Round 3', Kim Hyun Joong revealed behind-the-scenes footage of the filming for his star1 Magazine pictorial.

The sexy soloist smolders in a wife-beater and leather jacket while filming on an old school bus. He also has some pictures shots on a train track and on a rain soaked bridge. Though the surroundings are relatively simple, Kim Hyun Joong manages to look gorgeous while doing very little actual posing.

Enjoy the hot clip above.

아프고 아픈 기억을
The hurting painful memories
Những ký ức buồn thương
눈을 감고
Closing my eyes
Anh khép chặt đôi mi lại
그대를 애써 꺼내는 건 쉽지 않죠
It's not easy to reminiscence you
Thật khó cho anh để mường tượng lại bóng hình em

차라리 없었던 일로 덮어두고 싶은데
How I wished to let go as if nothing had happened
Bao nhiêu lần anh ước mình có thể từ bỏ, như chưa hề có gì xảy ra
흐르는 눈물이 날 가로막죠
Tears falling, flooding me
Dòng lệ tuông rơi tràn ngập trong anh
애써 널 불러보지만
No matter how I tried to call for you
Dù cho bao nhiêu lần anh cố gọi tên em
만질 수 없는 사랑
A love I can never reach
Một tình yêu mà cả đời này anh không thể có
겁없이 달려가 널 붙잡고
I run towards you without any fear
Dù cho Anh kiên cường theo đuổi em thế nào đi nữa
바보가 되버린 날
A fool I become
Anh tự thấy bản thân mình trở nên ngốc nghếch
너때문에 아픈 날
Hurt because of you
và đau đớn vì yêu em
지우려해도 난 이대로
Even if I tried to erase you
Dù cho anh đã cố xóa đi hình bóng em

아직 모르죠
You might not realize
có lẽ em sẽ chẳng thể nào nhận ra
시간이 가도 변하지 않은
Even as time passes by
Dù cho thời gian có trôi đi
내 사랑 하나
You are still forever my only love
Em vẫn mãi là tình yêu duy nhất của đời anh

언제나 내곁에 너의 스토리
Your story is always by side
Anh luôn nhớ những chuyện về em
다시 찾아온 너의 스토리
Finding your story again
Tìm lại  ký ức về em lần nữa
시간이 가도 너하나 뿐
Even though time goes by, it is still you (my love is only you)
Dù cho thời gian vô tình có trôi thì em vẫn chính là tình yêu duy nhất của đời anh
다시 내게로 와 주겠니
Can't you come back to me
em có thể nào trở về bên anh như ngày xưa
내 곁에만 계속 머물러줘요
Stay by my side only, please
Ở cạnh bên anh như ngày nào.
예전 모습 그대로 오 마이 걸
Just like the old times, oh my girl
Như những ngày xưa êm đẹp ấy.
두번 다시는 널 놓지 않아 난
I will not let you go again
Anh sẽ không để em rời xa anh nữa đâu
오예
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
널 놓지 않아 난 예에에에
I will not let you go, yeah
Anh sẽ không để em rời xa anh một phút nào, yeah

거짓말 같은 인연
Our fictional-liked fate
Định mệnh đôi ta sao quá hư vô
거짓말 같은 시간들
Those times, like a lie
Khoãnh khắc ấy hệt như lời nói dối
나를 스쳐간 아픈 추억
The painful memories that pass me by
Những ký ức đau thương mà anh đã cố quên
습관처럼 널 지우고
Like a habit, I tried to erase you
anh cố xóa đi bóng hình em theo thói quen
습관처럼 널 불러
I tried to call out for you
anh cố gọi tên em
난 어떡하라고 늘혼잔데
Always alone, what am I supposed to do
vẫn là nổi cô đơn thường trực, anh phải làm sao đây
왜 넌 왜 날 떠나
Why, why did you leave me
Em ơi, tại sao em rời anh mà đi
운명이라고 날 얘기해줘
Tell me this is our destiny
Đừng nói đó là định mệnh của đôi ta em nhé

아직 모르죠

You might not realize
có lẽ em sẽ chẳng thể nào nhận ra
시간이 가도 변하지 않은
Even as time passes by
Dù cho thời gian có trôi
내 사랑 하나
You are still my only love
Em vẫn mãi là tình yêu duy nhất của đời anh

언제나 내곁엔 너의 스토리
Your story is always by my side
Anh luôn nhớ những chuyện về em
다시 꺼내본 너의 스토리
Refreshing your story again
anh  nhắc mình  nhớ lại những chuyện về em
시간이 가도 너 하나 뿐
Even though time goes by, it is still you (my love is only you)
Dù cho thời gian vô tình cứ trôi thì em vẫn chính là tình yêu duy nhất của đời anh
다시 내게로 와 주겠니
Can't you come back to me
em có thể nào trở về bên anh như ngày xưa
내 곁에만 계속 머물러줘요
Stay by my side only, please
Ở cạnh bên anh như ngày nào.
예전 모습 그대로 오 마이 걸
Just like the old times, oh my girl
Như những ngày xưa êm đẹp ấy.
두번 다시는 널 놓지 않아 난
I will not let you go again
Anh sẽ không để em rời xa anh nữa đâu

언제나 내곁엔 너의 스토리
Your story is always by my side
anh luôn nhớ những chuyện về em
다시 꺼내본 너의 스토리
Refreshing your story again
anh  nhắc mình  nhớ lại những chuyện về em
시간이 가도 너하나 뿐
Even though time goes by, it is still you (my love is only you)
다시 내게로 와 주겠니
Can't you come back to me
em có thể nào trở về bên anh như ngày xưa
내 곁에만 계속 머물러줘요
Stay by my side only, please
Ở cạnh bên anh như ngày nào.
예전 모습 그대로 오 마이 걸
Just like the old times, oh my girl
Như những ngày xưa êm đẹp ấy.
두번 다시는 널 놓지 않아 난
I will not let you go again
Anh sẽ không để em rời xa anh nữa đâu
널 놓지않아 난
Never let you go
Anh sẽ không buông tay em ra
널 놓지않아 난 아 아
Never let you go
Sẽ chẳng để em rời xa anh
