[Trans] KHJ’s recommendation for songs: from SBS Power FM with Jung SunHee
ENG. TRANSLATION by CHEERKO!Please overlook sp and grammar. Too tired to check.
A very generous KHJ fan gave me private access to the clips of KHJ at SBS Power FM radio show with Jung SunHee:
KHJ was asked to come prepared to talk about 7 recommendations for songs that he likes to listen. They gave him 7 categories. I found some YT clips for the songs he likes… not all of them….KHJ’s recommendation for songs: from SBS Power FM with Jung SunHeeMC introduces KHJ as the guy who keeps promise. He returned from a flowery handsome youth to a tough and manly guy whose taste in music is also very mature. They basically talk about music that KHJ likes and recommends. KHJ says that he is making a round to various radio programs where he made a promise to return. KHJ says he did not like himself when he would just say he would get together and he did not. So he is trying hard keeping as many appointments to those people who ask him to have drinks together and he says it is causing his liver to rot. So, he says he is taking Omega-3 as supplement to save his liver. MC says that she should have asked him to have a drink together instead. He says he played soccer until 1 AM with his dancer hyung’s. He says that it took him 2 weeks to make his body in preparation for his stage performance. He exercised 3 to 4 hours a day and practices dance and song for his stage comeback. In the past, he has worked hard in order to be a hallyu star but now he is trying to really enjoy what he is doing. But he says he cannot enjoy 100% as that is not a reality. MC says that she is impressed by the type of music that KHJ chose to show today. She feels that they are mature and diverse and from someone who really knows and appreciates music. They also listen to KHJ’s Kiss Kiss.
1)The Ocean Guy (No Brain 바다사나이)—MC asked him to choose a rock band that he likes especially for summer nights. He used to go and listen to this group in HongDae performances when he was a junior high school student. He says that when he used to play base in a band, he played No Brain’s Ocean Guy on stage. He also loves lots of independent bands but many of them disappeared as there are more clubs now. He also likes a song called Turtle who goes to a store etc. MC and KHJ agree that musicians always have conflict about singing what they want to sing vs what the public wants to sing. KHJ says he know that there is an old saying that you are out for ruin if you only sing or perform what you want to do. At this time, KHJ says that his emphasis is on what the public and the fans want from him.
(It seems to be a song that says that I need nothing else but the ocean and that life is here where he can look at the Pacific Ocean???)
2nd song: MC asked him to pick a song that he is stuck on from girls group. He likes 2NE1 “You are the top /going totally well”. KHJ says that people’s heart may flutter when they think about girls bands but 2NE1 is different. Even a man would say they are cool if they are seen on stage. He considers them very charismatic and their performance is very powerful. MC asks if KHJ feels any grils group is very cute and adorable. He says all the girls group is all adorable but once he saw APINK member come for the rehearsal wearing her school uniform because she was running late from school. He then thought that she looks mature on stage but she is a kid. KHJ liked FINKLE and even at that young age, he says he thought Lee HYORI to be sexy and pure and possess everything. He also says that he keeps in close touch with her and that she possess very cool personality that he likes.
3rd song that KHJ enjoys listening in terms of pop song is Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours”—He says it is not just a pop song but he considers his song a daily essential for him. He never tires of his song and he listens to him everyday. He thinks Jason Mraz has unique talent that is very pure. MC also loves him and loves his new song Bella Luna.
4th song is Lim JaeBum’s LOVE, a ballad that he enjoys listening. He says that when he listens to that song, it feels very real as if it really happened to Lim. (I did not know that it is an OST for City Hunter) KHJ says that Lim must have really loved painfully to sing a song like that. He says that Lim sings as if he is talking. KHJ felt as if he has to have had such life in order to perform like him. MC thinks that KHJ likes very manly and tough guy songs. He says he is not so tough but he admires these type of men. He thinks that they may be even more cool than (just average person). KHJ calls them “weh-gol-star” (I don’t know what that means but I guesstimate that he is talking about people who chose path in life that is very different and maybe even harder than if they chose the conventional road.) MC says that yes they are cool and admirable but that they are difficult in terms of living. However, KHJ says that he really admires those people who are able to say I am me and you are you and who is able to enjoy life. (KHJ is sharing something philosophical about life but MC is not really giving him room to talk about it freely—in my opinion. It appears that KHJ still owns deep inside of himself that rebellious, free-spirited and out-of-the-box philosophy about life that he had as a teenager —-but I am curious as to how they may have changed or developed at this time in his life…too bad he could not expand on it. Amazingly and truly talented singers like Lim JB and former singer Park WG of Resurrection sounded like they had extremely hard life and are now making a comeback.) MC asks KHJ whether he can love by betting and investing everything into it. KHJ thinks that if there is someone out there for him, he thinks he could. But his answer sounded somewhat uncertain. When MC says that it might be better to love a person who would synergistically enhance him rather than tear him down, KHJ says that is true too. But he says confidently that even if he bets everything for love and may loses, he feels that he can make a comeback for another 40 years at least. MC says that his fans would have been stirred positively by what he just said but that they would really hate the woman he loves. KHJ laughs. KHJ says that he had not really saved that much. Even if the news would announce that he earned tons after BOF, he had to pay tax and other things and he has very little left.
KHJ says that he does not have many places to go and talk about music like this. He tends to meet up with neighborhood friends about once a week even if he is busy. When he is not busy, he would meet with them 7 times a week. He says none of his friends have girlfriends not because they just love hanging out only with each other. They all want girlfriends but can’t get one.
5th Song that he likes to listen when driving is ??Climax’ Looks and Brook??? (I don’t think this is correct but that is what I heard….anybody know what he is talking about?? Sounds Korean) He listens to it when he is on a treadmill and then run the last 4 minutes. He has timed the song so that it fits in with his exercise routine on the treadmill. He says when he makes noise on the machine, the grandmothers at the same health center looks at up him. He loves his health center because he feels like he has the ownership of the whole place as seniors do not use swimming pool that much or the weight machines. He looked for health centers that have seniors rather than good looking people. He says his parents live in Song Do so he would listen to this song while driving there through InChun Highway. He enjoys speed and dirving . He enjoys driving alone usually at dawn or early mornings on Sundays and very rarely at other times. But he does not speed any more as he was in a serious motorcycle accident. He says it was a very painful experience.
6th Choi JiWoon’s Thank You is the song that he enjoys when he is dating with a girl at night. Lyrics are gentle. He says that he likes the song because the things that are thankful are for small things in life. In the lyrics, the girl wakes him up in the am. KHJ says that he has experienced a person who took good care of him in little ways and was there for him. He feels that it is a song that all men and women who were in relationship would identify with. He felt that he regret that he could not do more and is thankful that he had such care. Basically KHJ answered yes or no to mc’s statements and questions about relationship. He did not really volunteer anything on his own except to talk in genera l about the song. But he says that he has experienced a relationship that he was thankful for like the lyrics of this song. MC asked him if he is not in relationship now, when was the last time he was/ He says that since this is July, it was 5 months ago. Mc says that he has been single for a long time now. He agrees. MC says he should have done well when he did have a girl. He did not say anything. He says that when you are together it is hard to notice the good things and the time passes and new people are met. MC asks about type of women he does not ever want…he says he does not like someone who ?joo-jup-ddul-dah=someone who talks a lot as if she knows everything, who has no sense or manners, who talks over and interrupts and tries to get into everything. He hates such style. He would have preferred somebody with no manners than someone like that. He says the person does not have to be wise but that it is a person who does not know how to distinguish one thing from another. He says he would prefer someone with money in that case.
Last song or 7th song is “For You”=nuh ae geh by Suh TaeJi. He was to pick a song from his role-model. He says that before he ever has to retire from the business, he wants to leave a song that is meaningful like this song by Suh TAeJi. MC says that she really liked Suh TAeJI due to this particular song. He also admires Suh because Suh always surprise his fans with even greater comebacks—that he never really disappears. He once had a chance to sing as a back dancer for Suh TAeJi concert but he could not due to BOF schedule. He hopes that one day he may even make a cameo appearance for SuhTaeJI mv one day. MC wishes him health and success on his trip to Japan. He says he will return in October when new album comes out.
