actually i was just supporting junoflow from the start but when i've heard him at the 2nd round, and even beat ignito i can sense he can win this thing!
Korean has crazy societal stigmas about mental health. Wonjae's openness about is not only brave and refreshing, but his success as a new artist whose willing to be so public about his experiences, and capable of such eloquence, is important. That he was able to inspire Black9 to reveal his own condition is inspiring. Korean Earl right here.
Long ass wonjae appreciation text because he fucking deserves it : Can we just take a moment and talk about woo fucking wonjae ? That one dude who broke all those boring smtm stereotypes of rapping about being the best and came through with some real, deep shit ? The one who barely got any screentime in the first episodes and now is literally the cover of every RU-vid video because he brings in so many views? The unproblematic, SMOL bean who respected blacknine at the end and never has said anything bad about any other participants ? The one who stayed with his rapping style even tho people said it was getting boring and now is literally loved for it ? The one who managed to make the audience cry and cheer his name once his show ended ? The one who performed with the only openly gay Korean artist? Who started from zero and now is in the studio with Gray? Yes, the gray who makes music with Dean. I love woo wonjae so much and deeply hope he will win this, he's the only won who truely deserves this.
Jordan oh my God I cried reading your comment, idk why. I love Wonjae so much😭💕 He deserves so much. Everything you said is so true. Started from nowhere and now he is here with all the well known artists, never leaving his style of rap. And the most important thing, keeping his real name and not getting a stage name😭💕 MY RESPECT FOR HIM HAS DOUBLED ❤️
Tiger JK really find a gold for this season. Wonjae is so unique n a modern poet. He is like a fresh breath of wind after all the hyped rappers. Hope he'll end up till the finals and continue making music even after smtm
You feel his pain in his words, his voice, everything. That boy is going through some internal suffering and I hope being on the show will help his confidence and his mind.
I am all in for wonjae, ever since hash swan was eliminated without being able to perform on the big stage (ONCE AGAIN). Wonjae was the least famous among most contestants, has the most unique style, raps about meaningful subjects ... he deserves every bit of fame and support. It's either him or nucksal for me now.
그때 우원재에 한참 빠져들때는 우원재 파트가 아닌 JK, 비지의 훅파트가 거슬리게 느껴졌는데 지금 생각해보니 이 파트가 없었으면 그저 우울한 현실을 읊다가 결국 우울함에 덮쳐지는 결말의 음악이 되었을거 같다. 무대 위에서 비지와 주고받으며 노래하는 원재의 모습이나 JK, 비지와 함께 무대를 걸으면서 웃는 원재의 모습을 보면 우원재는 JK를 만나고 극복해나가고 있는 자신처럼 무대 위에서는 우울감과 상반되는 훅을 넣은 것이기도 하고, 동시에 무대 매너(관객 호응 유도. 본선 무대 3번 다 Jk, 비지랑 양동근이 자신이 잘 못하는 호응 유도를 했음)도 지켰던 거 같네. 어쩌나 저쩌나 쇼미는 무대에서 관객 호응이 표 수랑 이어지니까. 그 당시 우울감에 서서히 잠복되가고 있던 나였기때문에 우원재가 점점 우울감과 싸우면서 나아가는 무대를 꾸린것을 알아보지 못했던 거 같다. 진자도 다시보면 일맥상통하는 모습이 있고..
you can see how the experience of TJK and Bizzy are bigger than the other producers in this show. TigerJK always watching Woo Wonjae, a diamond, a rising star with own colors, with courage to talk about these type of things. (not rapping about he's the best, money) Trap and trendy music gets forgotten someday. Real lyrics like this one lives forever in the hearts of the people who struggles every day with his own demons.
Legit when the music play, my eyes already teary. I don't even know the meaning of his rap, but his sincerity reached my heart. Later know when I read the translation while I was listening, without I realise I'm sobbing already. When I watched the first episode, I was rooting for junoflo and woochan, but after seeing this i really hope he will become the winner. Hugs woonjae❤️
it broke my heart when they do mic selection for him and black nine, I'm rooting for both of them I can't choose. I almost cry when black nine hug woonjae :") both of them are awesome, I want to see more of them in the future
Iqbal Satria my heart broke too. I love Maniac but I kinda wished that Black Nine did the solo performance instead. He would've killed it. But knowing that he wrote lyrics about his depression and anxiety for this performance made me want to hear it too.
been listening to korean songs and i always thought there are no language barrier in music cause i always can read the translation or subtitle. After read subs for his lyrics... i really wanna learn korean so bad so i can feel the raw emotion from his rap. for the first time in my life
*TRANSLATION:* "Again" by Wonjae (ft. MRSHLL, Tiger JK, Bizzy) _MRSHLL:_ I don't know how to love myself Am I feeling lonely? Can't the right answer be the one I came up with by myself? Can't I alone substitute for everybody I've alienated from my life? Can I share my true feelings when the time finally comes? _WONJAE:_ Hello? (Like answering a phone call) It's just me. Why do you always want something to be "up"? (He's questioning why we always greet by asking, "what's up?") I know. You're lonely too. Why else would you be calling this late? Mix of feeling uncomfortable and empathetic I'm torn between those emotions We're facing each other, but only exchanging happy lies I feel sorry for the way we are. Excuses, excuses, More excuses, We make them so we can remain this way Darker, darker, Even darker, So nobody but us can notice the truth. Tread lightly, lightly, More lightly, Because neither of us will take responsibility Meaner, meaner, Be even meaner, So I can look good by comparison. A little kid who, unlike his appearance, is actually mature and deep He's the type that's not very good at saying empty praises and compliments I, too, just want to be myself But the real me is someone not even I can love. I've already abandoned the me that had fallen a long time ago So please, stop looking for "me". "When a fake and a fake meet, together they can become whole." "If each and each one of us live our own lives, who cares about your ideologies?" "If yesterday and today are different, why are we still together?" What is really being illuminated by the light of this starless city tonight? _MRSHLL:_ I don't know how to love myself Am I feeling lonely? Can't the right answer be the one I came up with by myself? Can't I alone substitute for everybody I've alienated from my life? Can I share my true feelings when the time finally comes? _JK:_ My truth, and your truth collide and become a secret My tears and your tears become dew drops on their fake acts I wanted to change, but changed to a wrong answer ("Wrong answer" sounds similar to "denture") Be sure to listen, listen, listen, listen, carefully x5 ("Make sure", "carefully", and "surely" all sound the same in Korean ("꼭"), also "listen"/"씹어" also has a double meaning, as the more common meaning is "to chew", which references the denture word play in the last line) _BIZZY:_ When the lonely night comes, your mood, again, again, again, Becomes corrupted, and tormented, your happiness, again, again, again, You'll stop me and look for your bags of pills again, but As long as you don't stop, the music doesn't stop either Your mind is still on the dial tone's beep, beep, beep, Whether the truth gets across or gets rejected, drip, drip, drip, Whether people feel the same or not, tell it to the world As long as you've gave it your all, there's no regrets _WONJAE:_ Yes hyung, like you've said, (Hyung is Korean honorific meaning "older brother") I was distracted by many things. Although I know I can't avoid it Tonight, as well, I go through the same things again Yeah, I'm still dependent on it (Referring to his medication) Yeah, I still wrote about the same stuff again Yeah, I'm still wearing the same beanie Yeah, I'm still staring down at the ground, yeah I'm Tired, tired, tired, tired, very tired. I don't want to be needed anymore I want to go hide somewhere far away. I've been standing still for awhile, but "they" changed me "Lies are always born from lies," I think not. What I want is, When a fake and a fake meet, they'll still just be two fakes Even if each and each one of us live our own lives, our ideologies are still important Even if yesterday and today are different, we are still true to ourselves What is really being illuminated by the light of this starless city tonight really is the truth. _MRSHLL:_ _Life sure is complicated_ _Everybody knows we've all been through tough times_ _Time and time it gets overwhelming_ _Where do we go from here?_ _Rise up and take a chance_ _Break free of all your pain_ _You're not alone_ _You're not alone_
Thanks :) The lyrics are pretty deep, so I tried my best to translate them, but I probably didn't do a good job in some parts! Sometimes in Korean, the sentence is very short, but translated it becomes _really_ long ... I love Wonjae in SMTM6 so much that I took the time to translate his stage performance as best I could :D
I dont understand what he said, but started from the pre elimenary till this round, my tears drop following his sincere rap. Best support for this dude
I love it I love it I love it. Thank you woo won jae the lyrics are amazing reflecting the kind soul that you are despite everything you feel about yourself
omg im literally crying wonjae is so good hope he goes all the way and after the show hopefully he keeps making music would love to follow and support him whatever he does
2년이나 지났지만 2년전부터 지금까지 이 곡을 정말 좋아하고, 프로듀서를 비판하는 댓글들이 많이 보여서 제 나름대로 노래를 몇번씩 보고 들으면서 곡 해석을 적어내봤습니다. 처음 우원재 벌스 : 자신이 하고 있는 끝없는 고민의 공회전, 그리고 "다 그러고 살아. 고민말고 대충 살아" 라고 말하는 세상 사람들의 조언이란 이름의 압박. 그리고 마지못해 빈말을 하는 우원재 마샬 부분 : 사실은 우원재의 워너비, 하고 싶은말, 우원재가 되고 싶은 "나" 프로듀서 부분 : 고민의 공회전을 하는 우원재에 대해 해주는 조언 "네가 멈추지 않는 이상 음악은 멈추지 않는단다" 우원재의 답가 : 그래 형 나는 고민의 공회전을 하고 있었다. 그리고 이제는 내가 하고 싶은 말 할래 = 가짜와 가짜가 만나도 가짜가 둘이기를 (껍데기로 얼버무려서 우리 인생의 고뇌를 덮지 말자. 고뇌와 철학은 중요하고 껍데기는 껍데기다) 마지막 마샬 마무리 : 과거의 우원재 같이 혼자의 고뇌에 빠져있는 사람에게 너는 혼자가 아니라고 전해준다 ------------------------------------------------- 곡해석 이외에 여기 계신분들에게 전하고 싶은점 : 1. 위 구성은 이미 타이거형님이 짜 놓았을겁니다 곡명도 "또"이고 이 곡은 전반부, 턴, 후반부가 있어야하는 곡입니다 2. 1번은 사실이지만, 한 가지 문제 아닌 문제가 있었다면 우원재의 가사가 너무 완전했고, 프로듀서의 턴 부분이 아쉬웠다 타이거 형님의 훅이 너무 목소리가 개성이 넘치셨다 + 우원재의 가사가 너무 깊어서 비지가 충분한 대답을 가사로 못 했다
나만 여기서 비지 벌스가 너무 좋다고 생각하는거? 우원재의 너무 확고하고 어두운 철학에 비지가 그걸 이해한다는듯이 인생의 경험으로써의 벌스가 들어가주고 그리고 우원재가 또 그것에 대한 답하는 모습이 너무 좋다 그리고 JK행님이 무대 호응끌어주는게 이 곡이 상대 무대를 이기게 했던 원동력인것 같다 JK나오니까 갑자기 관객들 호응이 좋아진것도 관전포인트임.. 즉 우원재(마샬)이면 곡완성도는 더 좋았을수도있는데 경연에서는 더 불리했을것 같다는게 개인적 생각
I guess it should be pretty obvious by now that wonjae has depression, seeing those lyrics translated, I can pretty much say without a doubt that he's the only contestant in SMTM to hit home this deep
WorkoutSounds hehe this ones a bit different and a lot more hopeful. He actually addresses the reason why he repeats the same kind of lyrics in the song.
dr.sereypich translate:Did I get lonely because I didn’t know how to love myself? Can’t the decisions I make on my own be the answer? Can’t I take the place of all the ones who are cast aside? When the time comes, will I be able to share my heart? Hello, I’m just here Why do you always expect something? I know you’re lonely too Why else would you act like this at night? Discomfort and a sense of belonging I’m right in the middle But we only give and take lies What a pity Excuses, excuses, excuses again That what makes us be like us Thickly, thickly, more thickly So no one will notice except for us Say it easily, make it all easy We won’t take responsibility anyway Say it hatefully, more hatefully Then I’ll become nicer Dependable and deep He’s different from what he seems He’s not the type to say empty words easily I want to be me too But I’m not that kind of person I was weak and I fell, so I left myself behind It’s been too long so don’t look for me anymore When fake meets fake They both become real If it’s only about individual lives What importance does philosophy have? If this night and that night are gonna be different Why are we living together? This bright city night without any stars What is the thing that’s brightening it? Did I get lonely because I didn’t know how to love myself? Can’t the decisions I make on my own be the answer? Can’t I take the place of all the ones who are cast aside? When the time comes, will I be able to share my heart? My truth and your truth clashes to become a secret My tears and your tears become like dew for their concept Look, I wanted to change but I get chewed on like a tooth Chew on me hard Chew on me hard Chew on me hard Chew on me hard Hard When the lonely night comes again Again, your mood gets dirty and it tortures you Again, you block your own happiness You keep looking for your medicine But if you don’t stop The music won’t stop either Your heart is still on a call Whether the truth goes awry or gets through Whether you tell it to the world that doesn’t get you If you gav eit your all, you’ll never regret Yes hyung, like you said, I was distracted a lot I knew I couldn’t avoid it but Again today, I face the night That’s why I depend on it That’s why I wrote the same lyrics That’s why I wore the same beanie That’s why I opened my eyes like this I’m tired, I’m tired I’m tired, I’m tired I don’t want to be needed anymore I wanna hide far away It’s been a while since I stopped But they say they changed me But that came from a lie I want you to say that it’s wrong Even if fake meets fake I hope it’ll be two fakes Even if we live individually I hope philosophy will be important Even if this night and that night is different I hope we will truly be us This bright city night without any stars I hope what brightens it is this night Life sure is complicated Everybody knows we’ve all been through tough times Time and time it gets overwhelming Where do we go from here Rise up and take a chance Break free of all your pain You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone You’re not alone
I did not like this guy in the beginning but man, his messages are just so damn good. This was my favorite performance/song so far. I'm rooting for him
i was overwhelming with tears as I watch this. others may be good in hyped up music, etc. but wonjae is the type that touches your heart, telling stories in his rap. all the best Wonjae
