The middle syllable vowel is an YUH sound as in YUCK, and not a YOH sound.Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15682789920742757957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-43955800748698757762014-11-26T18:46:41.217-05:002014-11-26T18:46:41.217-05:00I've just watched Seotaiji's performing li...I've just watched Seotaiji's performing live this song at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zwaodkr0x5I<br />Incredible sound, incredible song, incredible artist. I could feel the sadness in his singing, the other 2 songs sound incredibly good too, this sounds like synthpop but still different, very unique, specially 'christmalo.win.'<br />Thanks for this post.MHMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396947323988687428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-19398793354886116742014-11-26T18:33:25.594-05:002014-11-26T18:33:25.594-05:00Because that's irrelevant for this thread, her...Because that's irrelevant for this thread, here TK is discusing the real meaning of the song "Sogyeokdong" which is a Seotaiji's song (Seotaiji wrote the music and the lyircs). The other version although good sounds just like a love story, but as you can see this song is not that simple. Both versions are good, but I prefer this one because it's the composer version, and sounds sadder and more desolate just like the history behind it.MHMFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396947323988687428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-62594491528655344702014-11-21T02:39:11.280-05:002014-11-21T02:39:11.280-05:00is there any reason you didn't mention that 아이...is there any reason you didn't mention that 아이유 did this song also and released her version a few days before his?crossmrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926946277296911301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-30207406013486587122014-11-07T19:31:05.366-05:002014-11-07T19:31:05.366-05:00Thank you very much TK, I love this song so much, ...Thank you very much TK, I love this song so much, when I heard Seotaiji's version I knew this was not a simple song.

He also mentioned the Jaedong Elementary School that he attended. It was a very interesting ride and this article comes in so perfectly! :)Anna Sawińskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17310397566687060353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-9880668106185964812014-11-02T10:48:36.377-05:002014-11-02T10:48:36.377-05:00Oh that's really interesting!

I understood some of it and the koreans commenting on the video were trying to help explain it to the influx of confused foreigners but...it's a pretty hard subject to explain/understand if one isn't proficient enough in either english or korean. I can't believe you answered my question though, never thought anything my high-schooler self asked would be academic or advanced enough for you to even look at :P Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774786034157088117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-13010816024596392172014-10-29T15:13:27.440-04:002014-10-29T15:13:27.440-04:00TK, you know you may very well be on a slippery sl...TK, you know you may very well be on a slippery slope, right? Haha. I wonder if more and more people are going to start asking about Seo Taiji songs with his new album having been released. Christmalowin is full of political commentary, and it's a lot more direct than it is in Sogyeokdong.Hippodameiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304425975194181938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-53397282709039567002014-10-29T15:11:43.368-04:002014-10-29T15:11:43.368-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Hippodameiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15304425975194181938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-82721928292295193612014-10-29T12:12:27.436-04:002014-10-29T12:12:27.436-04:00Very interesting and saddening at the same time......Very interesting and saddening at the same time...<br />The Black Scorpionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732669432876104914noreply@blogger.com
