[defensive stage] 'Jinie' - BREATHE, '지니' - 한숨 복면가왕 20190804 

So many people forgot that Kyuhyun almost died during SuJu's car accident back in 2007. The doctor literally said there was no way, funeral was almost prepared for him, he was on his death bed fighting to stay alive at the age of only 19. Him being able to breathe right now is a miracle and I'm sure he's able to relate to this song a lot.

Kyuhyun like "Jonghyun i'm here and this song for you"

2020힘내요

진짜 대충들어도 규현이네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 음색이 있는 사람은 진짜 목소리로도 구분이 되는구나

At the end when he sings “정말 수고했어요..”, it feels like he’s telling SHINee Jonghyun “YOU DID WELL JONGHYUN, YOU DID REALLY WELL” ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Breathe’s message...I love how every masked singer who sang it had a different feeling to it. Sohyang’s version and the way she sang it brought comfort and hope. Han Donggeun’s was desperation and almost frustration. Kyuhyun’s version was regret and sorrow. Each one sang it so well and they all left me in tears. Jonghyun, you did well :,)

이노래도 종현이가 기쁘게 들어주면 좋겠다...

그러고보니까 이것도 종현이 곡이었네. 참 많이 아꼇던 듯.

People know its kyuhyun for sure though the identity is not yet announce because of his unique voice. 👍 if you agree.

I guess this was the only way he could pay tribute to an old precious friend, without the whole world watching him. Wearing that mask, i can tell it gives you the sense of personal space. And he needed that to comfortably sing jonghyun's songs and truly immerse himself in it. He didn't want the world to see the sadness in his expressions, but he wants the world to hear him sing the songs.. You did well, kyuhyun.

혜야랑 한숨 때 진짜 덜컥 내리앉는 기분이었어요. 얼마나 아꼈고, 얼마나 생각하면서 골랐을 노래일지... 목소리 하나로도 참 많은 위로가 되는 것 같아요

노래들으면서 댓글내리는데 간간히 보이는 한국어들에 정말 울컥한다.. 이 노래를 불러준 규현님도 위로의 댓글을 달아주시는 여러분들도 이 글을 보고있을 당신도 모두 행복한 하루가 되길 바라요.

"It's alright It's alright It's alright, I'll hold you You really did a good job" I sobbed like an idiot. Kyuhyun is telling Jonghyun that Jonghyun did very well. Their lasting friendship. Kyuhyun is keeping Jonghyun's music alive. Thank you!

Kyuhyun must loves Jonghyun lots, he sang songs written by Jonghyun twice on the show?

아니 생각해보면 저런 눈 똥그란 빡빡이 지니 가면 쓰고 무게 잡고 노래 부르는데 전혀 우습지 않고 감동스럽다는 게 ㄹㅇ 노래 개잘부른단 증거임

Come back here again at 2023 and still cry.....listen to the song........

i can’t even begin to think about the pain kyuhyun’s been through. he almost lost his life in a car accident. he lost one of his closest friends whilst he was serving in the army, and yet he’s gone to sing two songs by jonghyun on this show as a tribute and i think that’s beautiful. no one could have done it as well as kyuhyun did

He’s a wall that need to be passed by any idols who want to brand as a talented vocal. His technique is on another level and he knows exactly what he wants his sound to be and that, for a vocalist, prove his maturity. He doesnt stray from his style which is a detailed and dynamic straighforward ballad singing which is quite rare these days among korean singers who has this tendecy to belt really high over and over again (sometimes straining) and reach low notes by whisper and half breath sound. I’m not saying those singers are bad but I just like Kyuhyun’s style even tho sometimes ppl may think it’s more boring, but the way he stays to that style and keep perfecting his craft is admirable and on top of that, his voice itself is a pure gem, so pleasant to the ears. I’m a fan for sure.

종현이 노래인줄 알고 들으러 왔지만 작사,작곡 김종현 이라는 글자 읽자마자 눈물나네 보고싶다 종현

이 노래를 작곡한 종현이는 다른 이의 한숨을 이해하며 글을 썼지만...정작 자신의 한숨을 알아주는 이는 없었구나.. 남긴 노래 때문에 위로 받는다..고맙다

Kyuhyun is singing jonghyun's song😭. I think it means a lot to kyu to sing this song💙

Kyuhyun and jonghyun under same company, they're senior and junior, they're in the same team called ”SM The Ballad” so kyuhyun really can deliver this song perfectly, with his goddess vocal with his memories with jonghyun and yep kyuhyun is the definition of prince of ballad he feel the song, deliver the meaning of the song perfectly to audience. HE’S REALLY A FREAKING GOOD SINGER! FULL PACKAGE!

처음시작하는 부분도 그렇고.. 숨을 크게 깊이 쉬어보라는게.. 처음에는 그냥 한숨을 쉬라는건 줄 알았는데.. 해보고 나니까 알았어.. 공황발작오고나서 알았어. 과호흡와서 숨 못 쉬고 나니까 알았다. 숨 크게 쉬고 숨이 벅차도 내 잘못이 아니고.. 손 발이 떨려서 아무것도 못 해도.. 그게 내 잘못이 아니니까.. 폐 끝까지 숨 쉬라고.. 어쩌면 본인이 힘들때 정말 숨쉬는것도 어려웠을때 듣고싶었던말인가보다.. 진짜 미안하지만, 감사합니다.. 힘들때 꼭 들을게요. 고마워요.

I could hear Kyuhyun's sound when he was trying to suppress the crying...

I CANT IMAGINE HOW KYU'S EXPRESSION WHILE SINGING THIS SONG 😭😭😭😭😭

Kyuhyun perform Lee hi - breathe. This song was written by jonghyun and I believe that jonghyun would be very happy to hear this song. But end of the part im in tears 😭 but congratulations kyuhyun had 2 consecutive wins!!!

지금도 듣고 계신분?

이기적으로 들릴지 모르겠지만 코로나 터지고 혼자 있는게 정신적으로 타격이 너무 컸어요 평소에도 비관적이고 심하게 내성적인 내가 원래 있던 친구 마저 못 보고 맨날 있는 곳은 집... 공부는 집중이 안돼고 공부하라는 엄마한테 뭐라고 할수도 없고 우울한 생각은 떠나지 않고 살기 싫었던건 물론 한두번도 아니고 제대로된 위로 한 마디 못 들어봤어요 친구한테 메세지 보내면 위로는 커녕 "어 너도 그러니 나도 그래 ㅋ" 하고 넘어가고.... 난 진짜 힘들게 꺼넨 말인데... 만약 위로를 해준다면 진심 같지가 않고... 그래서 요즘 힘들어도 혼자서 끙끙 앓다가 넘어가고 넘어가고... 그런 와중에 규현만의 음색에 빠져 규현씨를 좋아하게 되고 한숨을 부른거 까지 찾았어요 그런데 따듯한 음색에 이런 가사를 부르니까 위로가 되네요 날 위해 쓴거 아닌거 알지만...종현씨가 쓴 곡인거 알지만... 왠지 따듯한 위로 한마디 같네요. 이 노랠 불러준 규현한테 고맙고...종현씨 기억할게요 그리고 감사해요

I feel Kyu sing with all his heart and was remembering old memories with Jjong... I can't handle myself to not feel sad but at the same time feel touched and happy there are so so many people still and will always loving Jjong 💙

Technically, he's THE BEST male KPop vocalist.

It's interesting how with the 'Bob Ross' masked man, he sang the song very differently. He was acting as the friends/family that are angry at the person who committed suicide. Angry at the person that they didn’t talk to them. Angry at themselves that they couldn’t do anything about it. When he practically screams asks what was I supposed to do, he is heartbroken. While Kyuhyun, who Jonghyun was his closest friend, he sings it as a 'it's okay.' Like he is accepting Jonghyun's reason for dying. Like when he sang "it's alright it's alright it's alright. I'll hold you. You really did a good job." From what Kyuhyun said, he's been trying really hard to forgive himself for Jonghyun's passing. He was in the military for his mandatory enlistment so he wasn't able to truly say goodbye and go to the funeral like the other member. But, through this performance, Kyuhyun isn't doing it to win. He is telling his precious hyung that he did very well and their friendship's gonna last forever. With this mask on, however silly it may look, it is what is - a mask. With this mask, Kyuhyun can probably freely cry (you can tell he is in certain parts) and have a sense of personal space. He needed that space to comfortably sing the song and immerse himself in it. He didn't want the world to see his emotional expression or his tears.

난 왜 이 노래만 들으면 눈물이 나는지..

This was fabulous. A perfect delivery of a wonderful song. Kyuhyun has a rare gift. His pitch and timing is perfect.

Han Dong Geun's version feels like watching a strong man fighting to keep his emotions in check, finally breaking down under emotional load. Kyuhyun's version feels like a man reminiscing his most painful memories before finally moving on. In conclusion, I love both versions.

규현의 한숨은 평소보다 더슬프게들린다

종현이를 기억해주고 이렇게 불러주셔서 너무 고마워요

I can’t imagine how sad he feels when he sing this song

I don't know why but something in the way he sang the last part of the song tells me he was tearing up behind that mask (idk theres something about his little breath at the end of the two last lines that were kind of shaky) and I love it, because he delivered it genuinely and got mixed with his own story of this song and what it means to him and that what makes an artist. The ability of interpreting another artist's song (coming to an understanding of what the artist was feeling or thinking, bringing them feelings through life through lyrics) and how powerful is when you add your own story to the already told story and make people experience a new insight of what haven't been told. Idk if someone gets me. I'm just glad he is able to touch people's hearts like this because is not about winning but empathizing and connecting, because people tend to rely on music and artists because they sing and bring to life the feeling that we as listener can't put into words, so we let them tell our own personal story through theirs. Its amazing

누군가를 위로해주던 그 마음이 위로받고 싶은 본인의 마음이었던 것을, 너무 늦게 알아서 미안해 종현아. 오늘도 보고싶다 참 많이.

규현이 종현을 얼마나 아꼈는지 노래에서 알 수 있겠다 진짜 너무너무 자랑스럽다 규현이 ❤

One of Kyuhyun's first performance stages after recovering from the car accident was A Whole New World from Aladdin duet with Charice on Star King. Very fitting to be in a Genie costume as well.

As a singer this Jinie has it all. From technique, pitch, timing, and a sweet powerful voice. He’s not overdoing it and just delivered perfectly every time. I’m torn between wanting him to win or wanting him to take off that damn mask and see everyone’s shock reaction lol.

진짜 2008년에 조금 더 세게 부딪혔더라면, 리더가 규현이 먼저 태워 보내지 않았으면, 병원에 조금 더 늦게 도착했었다면, 아버지가 수술을 반대하지 않으셨다면, 새 수술 방법이 성공하지 않았다면 우리는 이런 목소리를 듣고 위로받을수도 없던 거잖아... 살아줘서 정말 고맙고 다행이라고 생각되는 가수....

복면을 썼기에 부를 수 있던 곡이 아닐까 싶다

Suddenly miss the real smtheballad,,,,,

At the last line of the song, kyuhyun sings it like how Jonghyun sings it. He is using his voice to reminiscence Jonghyun.

실수해도 된다고 수고했다고 노래해주는 조규현이 있어서 다행이다

Those major pauses he took in the song really hit different like he wanted the audience to really be hit with the meaning of those words to just let them be pressed into people's hearts

This one hits differently especially that everyone knows he is close to jonghyun. The way kyu sang this song so heavenly and you can legit feel the emotions - this punch hits right in the gut

This is the best cover of leehi's breathe. Im crying I miss jonghyun. Still can't accept the fact that he's really gone

샤이니 팬은 아니었지만 작사•작곡에 ‘김종현’이라고 적혀 있는 것만 봐도 울컥하네요 샤이니란 그룹은 타팬에게도 너무 좋았던 그룹이에요 어릴 때 노래 진짜 좋아했어요 좋은 노래 많이 남겨줘서 고마워요 거기에선 행복하게 지내길 바랄게요 이걸 보는 샤이니월드분들도 행복하게 지내요 샤월들이 노래 들으면서 그리워하는 것만 봐도 종현 님은 뿌듯하고 기쁠 거예요

수십번도 더 들었는데 들을때마다 뭉클하다...규현은 정말 표현력이 최고인듯

IM CRYING KYUHYUN-AH NO WONDER WHY PEOPLE CALLED YOU PRINCE OF BALLAD, YOU ARE REALLY THE BEST 😭😭

3:41 anyone else remember a certain popular video of Vocal Coach Reacts to kpop singers where Kyu did the same thing with the mic and the guy said that there must be some funny business going on with the mic cause it was almost impossible to sound that good with the mic so far? And it started a whole controversy and fight with some comments urging him to watch more of Kyu because he always did that; some saying that yes, he was THAT good lol; and some deciding that, ah! they finally found the trick to Kyu's perfect singing :D

신서유기에서 여기까지 왔다 ,,,, 조지니 만세

I don't know, it's just my personal thought. I think when Jonghyun wrote this song, it was actually the way he convinced himself that it's okay to be imperfect sometimes, that he actually could take a rest for a bit. And when he gave Lee Hi this song, he actually wanted to say that "Hey, I might not exactly understand your condition, but I think we are having similar experience, and I hope this song can help you go through your difficulty too". But when Kyuhyun sang it, it feels like he tried to say, "I have been in this condition before and I have been able to get through it so I hope you will be able to go through it too." I haven't read any interviews or fan theories concerning this song, but I believe the message it carries is so powerful and I hope more people who listen to it will feel helped.

When he said "it's alright" 3 times, I lost it.

Kyuhyun brought this song very well. I think he sings from the heart because he remembers his togetherness with Jonghyun. Every lyric is delivered with a feeling so unconsciously makes me cry could Kyuhyun shed tears behind his mask? I want to see Kyuhyun sing this song again without a mask ... proud of Kyuhyun miss jongyun ..

노래 불러준 규현 너무 고마워.... 종현아 너무 보고싶어...

노래해줘서 고마워 규현아 좋은노래 만들어줘서 고마워 종현아

previous when he sing breath - park hyo shi, i wish it was breath - lee hi (miss jonghyun) Suddenly bam kyuhyun fulfill my wish

I'm so thankful to kyuhyun for keeping Jonghyun alive through his songs... I love kyuhyun, and this song is just so meaningful, in every aspect. Thank you for sharing it with us

노래를 하는게 아니라 진짜 괜찮다고 위로하는 것 같아 약간 속삭이듯이

진짜 규현 노래하는 거 들을 때마다 규현 아버지께 너무 감사하다 아버지 아니었으면 이런 좋은 목소리 못 들을 뻔했잖아... + 슈퍼주니어 컴백 많관부

지니 sang Jonghyun's song. And won over his own song. CRIES!!

I want to see him sing this song without mask so bad 😥

2021년에 보고 있는 한국인 찾아요ㅠㅠ

Here I go again watching this video in 2022 and it always successfully making my eyes full of tears. For someone who is battling with depression and stressful days, this song always remind me to not give up. It has a really deep meaning for me. Thank you Jonghyun for creating this song, you did well.

Genie singing Lee Hi's song composed by the beloved late Kim Jonghyun. ♥ I hope everyone will be free and feel at ease whenever they hear this masterpiece. That acapella hit my heartstrings. Congrats Kyu. More wins for you. I hope he'll sing Fate again. :)

Lee Hi Breathe never gets old how many times has been it sang here? Wow still loving eaxh rendetion! 💖🔥🏆

Who else still coming back here to listen?

가왕의 시작과 끝을 종현이로 맺어줘서 너무너무 고맙고 고맙다

Everytime I hear this song, I cry and can’t help but to remember Jonghyun.. this song has got more deeper meaning after his death.. and Kyuhyun sang it beautifully giving justice to the song’s message..

Can't doubt idol vocal from sm

정말 수고했어요 종현아..

진짜 규현이 한숨 부를 때마다 심장 덜컥한다... 복면 써서 안에 표정이 상상이 안되니까 나은거 같기도 하고 아닌거 같기도 괜히 더 슬프고....

For everyone who comment they like other version better, just praise your fave at their video. No need to flaunt it here. Everyone has diff taste. If you like other better, watch their video, no need to comment here.

Genie is so great. He won over his own song. 💙

슬픈 기억을 이겨내고 부를 수 있었다는 게 대단하다...나였으면 반주만 들어도 다리 풀려서 주저앉고 펑펑 울었을 것 같은데...정말 강한 사람..

우리모두 누군가에겐 기적,, 규현. 그 중에 그대를만나 들어보셔요

Jjong, you'll be forever loved ❤❤❤ Kyuhyun bring such a different vibes to this song. Try to listen with your eyes close and the feeling of sadness, touched, desperate will hit you that much...

Just thinking that Jonghyun wrote this song when he was going through a bad time, it breaks my heart, and listening to this song from Kyuhyun's sweet voice makes me cry even more😭😭💜

이 노래를 하늘에서 들을 종현도 행복했으면 좋겠고 오늘 하루도 꿋꿋이 버텨준 어딘가에 분명히 숨쉬며 존재하고 있을 그 사람 하나하나 까지 전부 행복했으면 좋겠다...

2023 here! What a piece of art! Kyuhyun has the voice❤. I became a huge fan.

Knowing that Kyuhyun is on a higher level singing, is a given. Hearing him sing the song sweet Jonghyun wrote, had to make him feel like a miracle. I was crying throughout, but when he sang "You really did a good job" I'm still sobbing. That was a direct message. It's still heartbreaking. I wasn't even a fan at the time, but, it's so very sad. He was a fragile soul in a cruel wotld. You did well Jonghyun💙

This song was such as emotional and I believe that jonghyun must be happy up there. Thank you genie for singing this song.

진짜 지금생각해보면 종현은 정말 완벽했던 사람이였다... 잘생기고 노래잘하고 성격정말 좋고 작사 작곡도 진짜 잘해서 종현이 쓴 곡도 다 내가 제일 좋아하는 정말 위로가 되주는 그런 노래들이고.... 정말.... 형이 있어 내가 지금까지 있어... 내가 정말 형 잊지않을게...

It hurts, when the only thing left behind are memories

Kyuhyun is one of the most amazing singers out there and nobody can fight me. It's just plain fact and I really hope that younger generations and new fans should appreciate him more. He deserves to be loved.

everytime I listen this sing it's so saaaddddd like I can't help to remember Jonghyun 💔💔💔 and now Kyu sing it and it make more saaddddd 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

He didn’t just sing it but interpret the lyrics of the song. He expressed it so well, also he put so much emotion into the song. This is the best version of the song so far.

This song is like Jonghyun's message for himself..

His performance is hauntingly beautiful;; Kyuhyun delivered so much emotion, with incredible control and techinique. Jonghyun must be so happy to listen his friend sing his song, with so much emotion!! I wish I could see his face singing this song, though!! Jinie, thank you for being a singer! I hope you can keep the throne for a long, long time! You deserve it!💙💙

I cried a lot when I remember that this song was written by jonghyun 😢😢💙

너무나 애썼고 자신의 힘겨움을 위로로 또 다른 누군가의 힘겨움에 공감해주고 어루만져줘서 너무나 고맙고 부디 거기선 행복하고 만족스런 하루들을 보내고.. 따뜻한 겨울이 됐으면 좋겠어

미치겠다,.... 진짜 전하려는 진심 그대로 받은 거 같애서 먹먹해짐,, 조규현이 하고싶은말이었구나

He won over his own song omg....

Singing his bestfriend's song made me cry .... and thankful for their gift of talents....

혜야, 한숨, 숨 은 정말 ... 들을때마다 규현님이 숨쉴때마다 같이 숨쉬어보게 됨... 감정이입해서 들어보게 되고...

도덕책 어떠한 알고리즘의 흐름이 나를 여기로 이끌고 왔는지 나로써는 도저히 헤아릴수 없지만 너무나 감동적인 무대였다고 생각된다. 이하이씨가 골든디스크 무대에서 노래 안하고 울먹일때 "아 또 감성팔이 하는구나... 안사요 안삽니다." 하고 넘기다가 댓글에서 샤이니 종현의 유작이라는 말을 듣고 너무도 울컥했다. 분명 본인도 몹시 힘들었을텐데 그 와중에도 누군가를 위로하는 노래를 만들었다는 게 너무 슬프다. 개인적으로 그가 어떤 사람이었는지 잘 알지는 못하지만 분명 너무나 아름다운 사람이었을 것 같다. 너무 일찍 피고 진 당신의 인생은 마치 노래 한숨과도 같았을 거라고 믿습니다.
