[K-pop] If I / An Chi-hwan

The second winter in Pal park, New Jersey, will be cold from today. When I was young, my thick underwear was an indispensable part of spending the winter season.

I haven’t worn it since my mid-teens, but I feel tempted to wear thick long johns sometimes, perhaps because the blood of youth has cooled.

The gap between the mind and the body grows, and the extraordinary vitality disappears. In the freezing cold, I bow my head in front of him as if I was dealing with a god.

A song for those who want to be “Anything” for her. Send by Palpark DJ.

Korean Lyrics & English Translation

• 내가 만일 하늘이라면 그대 얼굴에 물들고 싶어
  If I were the sky, I’d like to be colored in your face
• 붉게 물든 저녁 저 노을처럼 나 그대 뺨에 물들고 싶어
  Like the sunset in the reddish evening, I want to be colored in your cheeks

Story of K-pop

Ahn Chi-hwan, a musician who has spoken about the world through songs.

“Singing should be hope. I could sing about the pain of the March 1st Movement, but I wanted to write a song that was forward-looking and proud of myself, my country, and the people.”

Singer Ahn Chi-hwan expressed his own expectations in the soundtrack “Hundred Years of Shout (100년의 함성)” released on the 15th to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the March 1st Movement(3·1운동) and the establishment of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea(대한민국임시정부). He also added a wish, “I wanted to make a song that our people can relate to, thinking about 100 years from now.” (Segye Ilbo 2019.1.21)

Ahn, Chi-hwan is called ‘singing troubadour’, ‘activist singer’, ‘popular singer’, ‘national singer’.

Songs for workers and common people such as ‘Pine, pine, green pine’, ‘In the Wilderness’ and ‘Iron Worker’, and even music about humanity such as ‘People are more beautiful than flowers’ and ‘Salt Doll’ are all his.

He did not hesitate to express his anger against the powerful, society and the regime through song. He also sang about people, love and life.

We each have a dream. Dreams are hope and the future. An Chi-hwan, 30 years of his singing life, how far has he come to the world he dreamed of?
