My first post in 2015!!!! I've been searching more on korean ballad sad songs then I thought why don't I post one (again). Most of the songs that people recommend are from idol or not totally sad devastated feeling song. So I would like to share mine as I've updated the old ones. (View Previous Post)
Sometimes I think I have insomnia. I find it hard to fall asleep. I listen to ballad song and imagine the scene in my head and tears start to form. Yes, I cried to sleep.
Most people know Im Jae Bum's For You song (너를 위해) but I prefer Where Are You (그대는 어디에). The lyrics is about a guy who is looking for his lover.
A line that I like in the lyric:-
"돌아올 그대 모습 그려 보는것 만으로 너무나도 행복해진 나는 자꾸 눈물이 나는지"
Just by picturing you come back makes me feel too happy till tears falling down
So Hyang sang her version in I Am A Singer and totally gave me goosebump. (So Hyang video has eng sub)
People thought that korean song only has 1 genre that is pop (K-Pop). They're wrong. Kim Kyungho is one of the famous rocker in South Korea. I recommend listen to 나를 슬프게하는 사람들 (People Who Make Me Sad). The song is about a guy who fall in love with his friend which a girl. You know girls always has this one guy as her best friend. She kept his picture in her wallet, she ran to him if anything happened and a voice who she recognize easily but she still end up with another guy.
A verse that I like in the lyric:-
"언젠가 그가 너를 맘 아프게 해 너 혼자 울고 있는 걸 봤어, 달려 가 그에게 나 이 말 해줬으면 그대가 울리는 그 한 여자가 내겐 삶의 전부라고"
One time I saw you crying because of him. I want to run to him and say this that the girl you just hurt is my everything

If you're not a korean that you must know Miss You (보고 싶다) by Kim Beomsoo. Most of the international korean song fans know Kim Beomsoo for his song Miss You. Let me introduce you his debut song A Day (하루). It top the chart as soon as it release. This song really makes me burst into tears not to mention the mv too. This song is about the painful that love gives.
A verse that I like in the lyric:-
"사랑이 날 또 아프게 해요. 사랑이 날 또 울게 하네요. 그렇게 사랑했던 추억마저 잊어달라며 사랑은 잔인하게 떠나가네요"
Love is hurting me again. Love is making me cry again. Asking me to forget even our memories of love, Love is mercilessly leaving me.
Next one is Lee Sora's Please. It's not the Lee Sora supermodel but the singer. If you're Immortal Songs program fans that you will know Yoon Minsoo and Shin Yongjae's performance. I like Please way before that. I first found out from Boa & Bohyung Spica version. So I searched for the original and found Lee Sora. Lee Seunggi did remake and release it too. From what I know Lee Sora cried for her live performance in some show ( I can't remember). She cried at the start of the song so they have to re-shoot it again and again. At that time, she just broke up. So I can feel the overwhelmed from the song. The song is about the girl who keep on asking her ex-lover to come back.
A verse that makes me cry in the lyric:-
I'm asking you to come back somehow. I'm begging for everything to go back to the way it first was
기다릴게 너를 하지만 너무 늦어지면은 안돼
I will wait for you but I can't if its too late
멀어지지마 더 가까이 제발
Don't distance yourself, come closer... please

Yoon Minsoo & Shin Yongjae - Please (Immortal Songs 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPGRMUI0g8U
A verse in the lyric:-
어제는 사랑을 오늘은 이별을. 미소짓는 얼굴로 울고 있었지
Yesterday love is today goodbye. You are crying with your smiling face
하지만 나 이렇게 슬프게 우는건 내일이면 찾아올 그리움 때문일꺼야
But the reason I cry so sadly is because longing will find me tomorrow
Lastly is my mama bird Shin Hyesung & Lyn - After Love. I don't want to be so bias so I'm not gonna say anything bout it. The song is about letting your love go and don't regret.
Actually I have loads of sad ballad song to share but for now the above song you guys must listen. If you want more, you can just PM me. You can search for me in Twitter or Facebook
