JAMES - The Light [Official Music Video] 

I hope people who are struggling will see this as motivation not to give up. James had to give up on his bass, quit playing with royal pirates, leave korea and basically stop doing alot of things. But seeing this im just beyond happy to see that he can still do what he love to do, music. I will always support you James! Hwaiting!!! 💪💪💪 oh the song and mv is awesome btw! 😉

I don’t think I’ll ever totally understand just how God works in such amazing ways. When your accident happened, I remember thinking how easy it would be for you to forever shake a finger at God. But instead you encourage others to grow closer to Him, to keep fighting. When I went through my own dark times, seeing you post how you still clung to God made it a little easier to persevere and not quit life. Thank you for fighting. Thank you for encouraging. Thank you for everything.

royal pirates was one of my favorite groups . you guys meant everything to me and i miss you all so much but i am SO glad i can see you like this . i am SOSOSO proud of you james and this AMAZING song!!!! i’ll love you and support you forever 💖💓💗💘💗💓💖💓💗💗💘💗💓💓

James is such a strong dude, im glad he's still doing what he loves !!! Guys don't forget to share the music video and send it to all your friends !!! Just do what I did to help Boys Republic get 1 million views, send the MV to random people and ask them to watch it ^^ so far every person I've sent the MV to is in love with the song !!! Help James get the recognition he deserves as a musician !!! ^^

Congratulations James..Thank you for letting us be a part of your journey...

Here because of my friend. He got me into royal pirates and then he told me about you and your arm. Then he told me to watch this and I honestly cried. I hope you are okay and happy now, its okay if you still feel sad but remember that your fans, friends, and family will support you in whatever. I give you my love and support James. Ily 💓

This brought me to tears... As someone who struggles with chronic pain due to a an illness that has no cure, this song lyrics have impacted me deeply James. Thank you for not giving up, for standing up and for always believing in Him. May the words of John 1:5 keep on providing us strength. Love from Costa Rica

Being in kpop for 12 years, I remember being amazed by royal pirates and now here you are beating all odds. I'm so proud and amaze at what an amazing human you are. James, I hope you can continue doing what you love for years to come!

Omg thanks for Siwon I am hearing this beautiful voice now!

I am thankful that you haven't given up and are still doing what you love. I've been a fan of yours since you were in Royal Pirates with Moon and Sooyoon and I could only imagine how hard the past few years have been on you but God only gives us what he knows we can handle. Stay strong James and God bless you.

I just wanted to stop by and tell u how awesome u actually are. I am a guitarist and just imagining to not be able to play anymore is awful, but u are so talented and u overcame all the obstacles just to be able to do what u always wanted to. You are truly amazing and inspiring. And the song is great. Keep it up! Fighting!

Amber brings me here but you make me stay. This song is really good and deep.

To all who came here through recommendations from Siwon, Peniel, or have seen articles from Soompi & allkpop, or just stumbled upon it anywhere else... We appreciate the support. We appreciate you clicking and watching the video. pls continue to support James. Thank you thank you so much.

So proud of you for not giving up. You are such an inspiration to me. Because of my health, I had to leave high school early and am still unable to work or consistently do the one thing I love- dance. Sometimes I feel like a failure and burden to others. However, your courage and willpower really gives me and so many others hope. I have been following you since Royal Pirates (pre-debut) and I will forever stay by your side. Thank you so much for being the source of light in my dark world, James. Stay strong ♡

wow.... who bring the onion here...My eyes... TT TT TT TT Anyway congrats james, happy that u still with ur dream as musician. finally u can reach ur stage once again even by urself, just remember that ur friends and ur fans always have ur back.. ^o^ Welcome once again, hope u'll have brighter future than now.. Fighting...!!!

You came back stronger than ever. The song is absolutely beautiful, it's been on repeat the whole day. We're so proud of you, we love you. I could thank you for a lot of things haha but mostly, thanks for this, thanks for letting us being part of your story. Thanks for be such a inspiration. You're truly a beautiful person, I wish you the best of lucks. The world and God must have amazing things prepared for you in reward of how strong, persevering and courageous you have been. Keep shining, James. You deserve the best. We'll always support you, we'll always be your light, as you have been ours... ❤

Come from Siwon tweet your have amazing voice

The son is beautiful in all its ways. And your voice. 💙

Hi, Siwon oppa bring me here ^^ you did well mr.james ✌🏻💕

Congratulations James for releasing this kind of song. I hope people will realize the story behind this song. It is indeed a beautiful song and I hope it will help lots of people who are struggling with their life to keep on living. Can't wait to see more songs from you. We love you, James... 😘

James brought me here ❤️

I have been into Kmusic for 5 years now. I watched a lot of AFTER SCHOOL CLUB at the time (even now) and I found ROYAL PIRATES. I have been a fan since. I have cried with you, James, and understood the feelings and emotions of what you have been going through. I was fighting for you. My heart was (and still is) with you. I remember you leaving posts in sns. I was going through a difficult time as well. Fighting my own demons, you help me too. So we are going to help you. I also have been slipping in and out of depression for a few years and it has gotten stronger. This few months I have been picking myself back up. Started working (like 3 weeks ago) after about 3 year of not working. I love this song. I was so happy to see teasers on IG. The song is beautiful. Your voice is amazing. I actually cried because this song is got me right in my heart and because proud of you. If it wasn't so late right now, I would scream, "Yes!!! James!!!" I don't know how much I can say this but I'm just so proud of you. Sorry that this is super long. I just appreciate you and RP. Wishing much success.. 💜💞

From Siwon .. I fall in love 😭💞💞 #ArabELF 💙

Amber's tweet brought me here😍

Congrats, James. You've worked hard.

Be the light that someone needs in the darkest of space so they shall shine through ☀️🌙🕯Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.

Choi Siwon brings me here But it’s actually good song I love it 💖

I felt this song on so many different levels. If you have gone through stuff and battle with it every day. Basically fight for your life, your happiness, and the ability to remain here and make the best of a crappy situation (whatever that may be) you can recognize that kind of pain in someone else. This reminded me of that. It made me feel like, oh there's someone else like me out there. You may not read this but I thank you for making this song and being an inspiration for everyone who isn't 'perfect' and who fights their own battles. You made me a fan so good luck and blessings to you 💚💚💚

ELF behind you , we come from siwon and we love you and we support you , you did good job 👍🏻 fighting 👍🏻👍🏻😊💙💙💙💙💙💙 #ELF #Siwon #SUPERJUNIOR

Ok so I just found you.. you're already my favorite artist. Your voice is too beautiful and emotional. You inspire me to keep living and don't look back... My dreams will come true because of you and your inspiration. I love you and you should know that you're not alone, we're here for you any time. 🥰🥰♥️♥️♥️

I love it!!!🎉👏💖😍 I am so proud of your work and your desire to improve yourself every day, to overcome your demons one more day. Thank you for being so special and unique. Thank you for being my source of inspiration and for being my light. You will never be alone, because we will always be here for you🙏😘💖 Love and support from Uruguay 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙 💙

I finally got myself to listen to this song and just... the moment James touched his hand I burst into tears and even typing this I'm crying. James has been through so much in his life, so much undeserved pain and harm and I am so proud of how strong he is, how brave and beautiful he is and has been throughout this torturous journey. I hope for only the absolute best for him and I hope he is constantly reminded of how loved and cared for he is by his friends and family, by the fans who have been with him since the beginning, by fans who have just started loving him now, by so, SO many people. Thank you for allowing us to be there for you through at least part of your journey.

James, I'm so proud of you. It hasn't been easy for you, but you made it. This song is really amazing. You truly have a talent.

smh why are there even dislikes when not many people know about this already?? This is a piece of art, in which we see James' struggles and hardships as well as his strong as ever comeback. I love it, and I appreciate every single person involved in its production. Thank you James, and I love you. Also I appreciate all of his brothas, Amber Kevin Eric Peniel Siwon and many more who have shown real support throughout this journey. We seriously couldn't have asked for more.

Siwon loves this guy ergo so do I

I really like this song. I can feel the passion and the mv is hauntingly beautiful. I love the scenes of you "singing" underwater. I'm proud of you James! I hope your story of your struggle and your music reaches more people. You've already inspired many who have their own hardships by pushing through your own.

YASSSSS, so proud of you James! Absolutely love the song!

I’ve been watching and updating myself about “baby” (that’s what I call him) james since I discovered him through his friend, Amber. I found out that he is a musician and has a cute dog. Had a surgery but know here he is standing and fighting inspite of everything that had happened. You are an inspiration, James! Congratulations! I really love your song

I'm in awe by the deepness and aesthetic of this work...i truly love it! I'm so happy for you James❤️Thanks for this piece of art❤️

This song brought me to tears, of sadness, of pride, of happiness... it's a mix of everything. Thanks, James for letting us be part of this journey, and I hope and wish you to continue working hard for your dreams; never give up, even on those days when that's all you want to do, remember that you are loved and supported no matter what. Hwaiting! 💪💪💪

I'm here because of amber 💗 however i'm so proud of you 💜

I'm so happy to hear music from James again. I've missed it so much. I hope he can find happiness and continue to share his music and story with us.

Hang in there James, no injury can drown out the talent and passion that lie within you. Life is hard and so unpredictable and unfair sometimes, and I'm glad you've found it in yourself to not give up, pick yourself up and continue doing something that you love.

Thank you for being my inspiration to continue and never give up my dreams.

I've overcame my health problems and now I'm fighting even harder to reach my next goal. Thank you for being here to remind us that there is always a light to guide us trough the darkness. Thank you for the light you've gave us.

Come from Siwon tweet your have amazing voice I Love it

Royal pirates were one of the first bands I got into years ago and now I'm just so happy to see James doing things he loves ❤️😭 I'll always support anything he does 💕💕💕

So cool!!! Mr. Siwon bring me here but I was amazed!

Stay strong.I love you so much

Thank you for remind me again that there are so many people out there who struggled much more than me, but still motivate themselves to live their life. Never ever forget James, You are not alone. Never. Even though this world turned their back from you, Jesus will always be with You. He will and always be my, and all of us, super supporter :)

So amazed at the power of crowd funding and the strength and determination of James. This music video is SICK. If any of my money went towards this, it was worth every penny. The lyrics and music is so personal yet relatable. I wish I could hear this live but I’ll settle for blasting it in the car on my way home from work. Sending you lots of love and light James! You deserve all of it. Keep going!!! So happy to support you and your music! ❤️🕯🙏🏼

Beautiful *cries*

Why so underrated? This song needs 958584848474848478474747+ views i sweaaarrrrr daamnnnn

came from Siwon fighting😍😍💃💃💃

I have been dealing with nerve pain from open heart surgery and it shed a small light on just some of the pain you have. I can't imagine the physical pain you are dealing with on a daily basis, then add the mental toll. This video is absolutely beautiful as is the song. Congratulations on this release. I pray you have a wonderful show! God bless.

Here because of Eric nam. Regret not clicking on the link before. I'm in love with the song. A masterpiece indeed. ❤️❤️❤️

I really needed this. I've been dealing with my depression and anxiety more than normal. I was really getting to a darker place especially yesterday. I know what my light is and I lost sight of it momentarily. I can't lose it. I refuse to lose it.

I wish I could like this video more than once

everyone is fighting their own demons! Can you be my light? 🙏

The song is really good 😍 Arab ELF support you 😉

First of all, I'm absolutely proud of you James! It's been a tough journey for you but nevertheless you have showed us nothing but hard work & determination to not give up but to continue strive towards your dreams. I wish you nothing but good....no great things in your future life/career. I'll be rooting for you!!!

MV is finally out and I'm so proud of you James 😍 Thank you so much for never giving up 🙏

Thank you James....your comeback means a lot to a lot of people who love you all over the world and who have been praying for you to stand up again and to give us some hope through your beautiful music and your tender voice 💕💕💕 I'M ONE OF THESE PEOPLE 😄 and I feel so proud!!!

A truly inspiring song, music video, lyrics. As everyone here I was deeply touched by it all. I can't put my feelings into words right now but I want to say: Thank you!

You have the power not only to light yourself up and continue on but also to bring light to so many other people no matter where they are. I'm truly proud of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. A million times thank you!

I saw him yesterday at McKinley Hill, Grand Canal Mall with special guest DASURI. So, i search all of his songs on spotify and here i am now watching this mv. I don't know him but when i heard his song yesterday, i think I'm gonna love his songs.

I've known you since Royal Pirates and felt like I've been with you on this journey since the beginning, especially on this road to recovery. I'm so happy that you were able to release this, I can't wait to see what else is in store for you in the future! You've done well James
