Solely music-related post.
One, I can’t thank Javabeans enough for this post on Yi Sung Yol, its like a gift for us information-starved fans. http://www.dramabeans.com/2008/06/profilegiveaway-2-yi-sung-yol/
It has so much information on his music, his background with UMe&Blue, his personal journey and insight into his own music, and is just a fantastic read. Best of all, she translated [...]

“If your legs are tired, you stop. If you can’t walk, you sit down. If you sit down, someone might come to hold you up. That’s how we live.”
(Il Gun, in 두구셰요/Who Are You, as translated by Javabeans at www.dramabeans.com)
Fortunate Son, by 이송열/Lee Seung Yeol, on the OST of 두구셰요
I think that quotes’ pretty excellent. [...]

This has TOTALLY made my day. Maybe my week. Its been a while since I did a search for 이승열/Lee Seung Yeol (I was in the habit of googling him often in search of new info earlier). Today, seeing the hits for my post on him (here), I thought I’d give it a shot. And I [...]

My post on Yoon Mi Rae probably gets the most hits on this blog (which is great, since it means more and more people are searching her out :)). 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. I respect this band for sticking through for almost ten years despite being six very different people. I might not always love their music (except [...]

I was amazed that I’ve yet to write a post on Lee Seung Yeol (also romanized, Yi Sung Yol, the Lee in Korean is pronounced as “ee,” there is no L in the hangul form: 이), an amazing musician, one of my favorites, whose voice had me spell-bound from the first time I stumbled upon [...]

Finally, after two years of studying and constantly worrying about it (except for that brief reprieve when I hoped I wouldn’t have to retake it), and constantly wearing my self esteem down and having great doubts about if I could do this and if it was right for me, its finally done with. Regardless of [...]

Just a short post between worrying over my personal statement, whining about my back and lets not forget studying orgo for the billionth time….Colbert has done it again. He is the current king of satire. You cannot go through one show, if you have a decent sense of identifying irony, sarcasm and cynicism, without shedding [...]

I really love this artist–considered to be one of the most influential and best female rappers in Korea (I say arguably in the world, how many talented female rappers in any music industry can one name?).
