My man, the war officer ♥♥♥

There’s my man at work. Wearing the war officer gear. Looking exactly like how I imagine him would be. Those piercing eyes, they give me chills.

Now I want to hear your husky voice speak with Joseon dialect. And sword-fighting the rebels, and riding horse, and planning war tactics with the king. I also want you to strip into the white undergarments (like the one Lee Seonjun always in when he sleeps). And loosen the hair-knot too please. Muahahaha..@_@

재중, 화이팅!! 사랑 해요♥♥♥

아리랑 Arirang

Last week’s lesson was so fun! We learned about Korean traditional music and instruments. The first part of the class consists of lecture on Korean traditional music and a Gayageum perfomance, and the second half was introduction  to Samulnori and a hands-on lesson on how to play the 4 instruments of Samulnori. It’s so great to see a young person like Ms. Norris to become an expert at Korean’s traditional music (okay I’m gonna go back home and learn about Malay’s traditional music and cultures too -.-).

Now for the homework, I chose to do a research on Arirang – what is the origin of Arirang, and how did it become popular? Most k-loving person would know what Arirang is, or at least have heard of it at some point. It is Korean’s most popular folk song and has become sort of an unofficial national anthem of Korea. Many k-pop artists have also sang it , especially at end of concerts. It is also  sang to uplift athletes’ spirits in international sporting events.

Arirang symbolizes unity and spiritual strength of Korean people. This song is about overcoming hardship in life and the lyrics uses crossing the Arirang Pass as an analogy to life’s obstacle, hence the title, Arirang. There exist many theories on the origin of Arirang.

One version says that it came originated from the time when the father of King Gojong (the second last king of the Joseon Dynasty) was rebuilding Gyoungbok palace in, which had been destroyed by fire during the Japanese invasion of 1592-1598  The laborers consoled themselves with songs and one of them is Arirang. Another version says that the song existed since the Shilla Dynasty, more than 1,000 years ago. The original version used the words “Aryong Arirang…” in praise of of Aryong, wife of the founder of the Shilla Dynasty. Over time, the words have changed to “Arirang, Arirang…”.

There are several versions of Arirang, each version originates from different regions and have slightly different lyrics and melody. The most commonly sang is the the version from Gyeonggi, which is the province of Seoul. For some reason, it gave me goosebumps when I first heard of this song some time ago.

Here is the lyrics of the first verse of Arirang:

아리랑, 아리랑, 아라리요…
아리랑 고개로 넘어간다.
나를 버리고 가시는 님은
십리도 못가서 발병난다.

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo…
Arirang gogaero neomeoganda.
Nareul beorigo gasineun nimeun
Sibrido motgaseo balbyeongnanda.

Arirang, Arirang, Arariyo…
Crossing over Arirang Pass.
Dear who abandoned me here
Shall not walk even ten  before his/her feet hurt

Random pic: Junsu playing the Janggu . I played it too last week!^^

English

 

I wish that DBSK’s English has improved, so that they can understand what we commented in youtube and their official facebook, what we tweeted them. So that they know how much us, international Cassies, love them and support them in whatever they do, as Homin or JYJ, in musicals or in dramas.

How we tell them to stay strong despite being apart from each other. How we applaud JYJ for standing up for what they believe in, and how we applaud Homin for continuing the legendary DBSK name so greatly. How much we want to see them, how much they inspire our lives. How we’re so proud at their achievements and congratulate their sold-out concerts, and how we’re so proud calling ourselves Cassies in front of other Kpop fans.

And most importantly, how much we wish for them to be friends again…

On the other hand, I don’t want them to read all those yaoi fanfics about them. Poor babies, imagine reading lesbian fanfic about you and your buddies..Ew.
