We lose
Yet we want to spare the feelings of those we love
Don’t cry
We’ve all lied
But there is always room for forgiveness my friend
So don’t treat me bad just be glad I am strong
I know where I belong
And soon you will see we are blessed and complete
There’s a place here for you with me
Shine
You’re fine
See I [...]

I thought I’d post up a translation of the lyrics of 잊었니 (Did you forget) for anyone looking out for it. Its pretty much a tearful, sorrowful, break-up [...]

The Snowy Night
[신화 (Shinhwa), Winter Story 2007-2008. Its all the buzz and excitement amongst the official and unofficial Changjo. According to their fans, 신화 has this strange capability of making people happy.

This year has passed like a couple weeks…I’m seriously beginning to wonder if there isn’t a strange phenomenon….global speeding up or something? [...]

You’re working hard on the treadmill. You’re beginning to sweat and pant because its been a while, since you’ve been working/studying so damn hard, and your hair starts coming out of that messy bun you made and its all over your face.
