El ático de Ganimedes

초혼

산산이 부서진 이름이여!

허공 중(虛空中)에 헤어진 이름이여!

불러도 주인(主人) 없는 이름이여!

부르다가 내가 죽을 이름이여!

심중(心中)에 남아 있는 말 한 마디는

끝끝내 마저 하지 못하였구나.

사랑하던 그 사람이여!

사랑하던 그 사람이여!

붉은 해는 서산(西山) 마루에 걸리었다.

사슴의 무리도 슬피 운다.

떨어져 나가 앉은 산(山) 위에서

나는 그대의 이름을 부르노라.

설움에 겹도록 부르노라.

Soloist SEO SEJUN debuted at the beginning of last year with the critically acclaimed mini-album, NEW GAME, which achieved immediate success. The album sold nearly half a million copies, and his debut song, MELODY, took home seven music show wins. He followed this up a few months later with another EP, to much of the same success. His meteoric rise to fame and fortune is an obvious by-product of the little over a year he spent in 1V1, a fan-formed group from survival show Last Act. By the end of their fifteen-month temporary contract, 1V1 was on even ground with the show’s winners, ENCORE, having sold over a million copies with their first and last full-length album.

The ten months since his last music release have come as a surprise. While it was obvious he wouldn’t maintain the breakneck pace of 1V1’s releases, the quick turnaround between his first two albums seemed like a promising sign. Now, it looks like those signs were misplaced.

That isn’t to say Sejun has spent the last ten months in radio silence. He’s active as a model and an influencer, gracing the covers of Vogue and Elle Korea to name some examples. He also co-wrote the debut album of former group member KIM CHAN late last year. When it comes to his own music career, he seems to have become completely inept.

With each passing day, it becomes increasingly evident he’s moved on to greener pastures: his streaming career. Sejun’s Twitch and personal YouTube channels 세유화 (SEYUHWA)—a portmanteau of his name and Kim Sowol’s poem “산유화”—made their debuts last summer. Since then, he’s streamed almost every day, sometimes for ten to twelve hours at a time. He spends most of that time playing video games—namely Overwatch 2—and occasionally engaging in the usual parasocial conversations with fans. Given that his appearance on Last Act and 1V1’s entire concept both revolved around video games, it was only a matter of time before his solo career did the same. Inheriting the group concept is not enough, Sejun needs to wholly embody it.

From an outside perspective, C Entertainment appears to support his new ventures. His streams sometimes features his manager, KWON INSOO, as a gaming partner rather than a supervisor. Sejun has yet to speak out or complain about his new management. Knowing his propensity for talking shit, his complaints would be known if he had complaints to make. Viewers were also quick to notice that he seems to be happier and more animated streaming than in either of his solo promotional periods, leading fans to wonder if he still wants to be an idol.

Not everyone is as enthusiastic as he is for his new career. He gained notoriety during Last Act after a recording of him flaming his League of Legends teammates in voice chat surfaced. Although tame by gaming standards, it was not the best look for an idol hopeful. Similar controversies would continue to plague him throughout his time in 1V1, though they did nothing to hinder the group’s success. With his freedom to apparently do whatever he chooses, Sejun has once again found himself the target of those who dislike his disregard for an idol image. Some of his streams also feature former 1V1 member ALEX KANG, who retired from the entertainment industry after the group’s disbandment. Though these collaborations were once celebrated by casual kpop fans and die-hard Supports—1V1’s fandom name—alike, Alex’s insistence on distancing himself from the kpop industry and his tendency to ban people in his Twitch chat who ask too many questions about his idol experience have furthered soured some netizens’ opinion of Sejun.

When asked about the state of his music career or if he’s preparing for a comeback, Sejun is uncharacteristically vague. In responses to comments on his Instagram posts of his latest brand deals, he's “working on it” and hopes fans will “wait a little longer.” He elaborated a bit further on streams, assuring fans it isn’t the fault of his management like many of them assume, but rather his own choices. He doesn’t say much more on the topic.

For now, there's nothing for fans to do but wait as he's asked.

dreamers

we are two different dreamers.

my head clouds itself in the sky

despite your fear of heights.

your hands prune under the weight of the ocean

despite my fear of water.

ask me about the planets

and i'll ask you about the seas.

i'll bring you comets

if you bring me coral.

i wish you the best

as you go on your way

"in peace, i will let you depart."

all i ask is that we meet again someday

as dreamers.

3, 5, and 10 for the bookish asks <3

3: older book I’m looking forward to reading is The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux

5: ooooh interesting I think I’d assign The Shell Seekers by Rosamunde Pilcher to @ben-learns-smth because I feel like they are very nuanced and entangled with the world in a beautiful way. (It helps that I know they like this book)

10: favorite flower is an azalea sooooo here we go! I haven’t read this one but it’s a book of poems by Kim Sowol

Un giorno lontano

Un giorno lontano, se dovessi cercarmi, Ti confesserei che ho dimenticato. Se dovessi incolparmi nel tuo cuore, Ti direi “Mi sei mancata al punto di dimenticare”. E se dovessi ancora rimproverarmi, “Non ci potevo credere, quindi ho dimenticato”. M’è impossibile dimenticarti oggi, o ieri, ma un giorno lontano “Avrò dimenticato”.

Kim Sowol

Incapaz de olvidar

Incapaz de olvidar, recuerdas tu amor;

Sin embargo, deja que la vida pase, aunque con dolor.

Algún día podrás olvidarlo.

Incapaz de olvidar, recuerdas tu amor;

Sin embargo, sólo apuesta por los años para escapar.

Incapaz de olvidar, aún puede olvidar un poco.

초혼/calling ghost by kim sowol translated by jack jung (source)

[nettlestonenell]

arr.by Hyung-soo An composed by Kwang-soo Kim lyrics from poem by Kim So-wol

It is a nursery rhyme for children and a song expressing love for family.

Here it is, Citizens of the Republic, Subjects of the Kingdom, and Gentle Readers: Lady Noh’s lullaby. It’s even more heartbreaking when you think of her singing it as a person whose mother and sister have died, and she has left her world.

LYRICS: Mother, Sister Kim Sowol (1902-1934)

Mother, sister, let’s live by the riverside. In the yard is the tinge of sparkling golden sand, Outside the back door is the song of fallen leaves. Mother, sister, let’s live by the riverside.

-1922 (Translated by Jido Ahn. March 2016)
