#thank you for loving Jieun she really is underrated

[yoohyeon]

Hi, this might be random but. Do you have any Song Jieun music recommendations? I just got introduced to her singing via the song Crazy with Bang Youngguk, and her voice is amazing!

Hi ! It’s great actually I’m glad you liked it 🥰 I’m not good at recommendations so I will tell you my favorite songs and her most popular one, but honestly everything is good 🫶

Small introduction if you like to know who the artist are : Song Jieun was born on May 5th 1990 and debuted with the kpop girl group Secret in 2009, who disbanded in 2018. Now I think she sing as an actress and has play in a couple kdrama. Most of her solo song was during her secret era. She actually married wheelchair youtuber Park We a couple of days ago on the 9th ! 🥰

My favorite song from her which is actually my second favorite song ever is Don’t look at me like that which if you thought crazy was amazing wait until you hear that song and the message is beautiful (about different type of relation ship like LGBT+, mixed races or even a relation ship like hers and being looked at wrong) 💞

My other favorites are : I wanna fall in love, Be alright, Bobby doll, La boom and Oasis.

Other than Crazy and my fave song her most popular one would be twenty-five 💖

I just noticed she released a song in February this year that I didn’t know about… but her last album was in 2020 and also really good

Jieun: Then... You should come to my concert as a guest.

Jiyong: Oh.. I will. When is it?

Jieun: Uh... uh... 9th or 10th December... in Seoul?

Jiyong: Ok I’ll...

Jieun: Ok? *laughing*

Jiyong: I'll definitely go. I will go. I'll go.

Jieun: Ooooooohhhh *shock*

*Pinky promise*

Honestly, I first started as a fan of BigBang, and to specially say, I’ve fallen for Jiyong. He came to me like a dream when I watched their very first music video ‘We Belong Together' with his bare face (and his cute teeth too). So to be honest, since that music video, I've become BigBang’s fan (and of course Jiyong's bias). To say clearly, I admitted that I've seen him as G-Dragon first. I fell in love with him in the music video, his coolness, his handsomeness (well people at that time said he didn't look handsome back then but to me, he was, and even now of course he is still). But at the same time, I think I've fallen for his music too. Every song of them was gorgeous, and precious to me. I grew up listening to them, especially listening to G-Dragon (let me call him GD first). I can proudly say that I know most of BigBang songs (might not know all but 90%), because every song written by (most of them) GD and he put his feelings into each of the song. That was the first time I really feel like I've loved someone that much, for knowing him through his songs and his lyrics, and because of his looks too. Then, I start to call him Jiyong, instead of GD. Why? Because I could feel like he became Jiyong to me, instead of just GD. I know it's complicated to distinguish the two, but GD is a part of Jiyong. So to say, I used to love just GD, but right now I love Jiyong (including GD).

Time passed as I grew up, and as I grew up, well people could tell, I grew apart. I still listen to BigBang of course, but I also listen to other artists too. And to also mention why BigBang is still my ultimate artist, they opened the door of Korean music to me, at first it was Kpop. Why did I say Korean music and Kpop? Because, they're not the same. I used to like Kpop so much. But not anymore, I'm into Korean music more.

So, that was when I met IU. It was absurd at first. She was someone with the cutie pie and squishy image that I don't think I would like her if she is right now, but thanks god at that time I fell so hard after her. She was a solo artist, that got famous after ‘Marshmallow' (I know she debut with ‘Mia' but I didn't know her back then). So after that video came up, I truly fell for her cuteness. And as much as I got to know her, I've fallen deeper into her personalities, and her soul as well as her charms. She’s the only girl who remains in my heart no matter how many bias have I changed during my junior and high school. That was also when I neglected BigBang a lot, I mean I still followed them (and Jiyong of course) but whatever Jieun (I start to call her Jieun unnie pretty soon) did, she still caught me off guard. She was still not that globally popular until the end of 2014 when she was invited to MAMA 2014. (I still remember how sad I was when she came to my country for a show and nobody really cheered for her because if I were to be in the crowded, I would scream her name until my neck dried). Before that, she was so popular in Korea and international people still underrated her pretty much, I felt so sad for her. Until 2015, when Jieun gained more international fandoms, I was so proud and yeah, I love her even more.

Go back to Jiyong, I would not pay attention to him like I did before (sorry) but whenever they released, or whenever some events related to them (especially Jiyong) or any show that had him on, I would check it all out. I guess, he’s still a part of me that whenever he appears, I still fall for him like the first time I did.

But for my entire 21 years, never in my life have I imagined that these two will stand in one screen like this, do things like this and end up making my heart fluttering this much. The first time when I saw them at IC 2015, even it makes me ship them, it didn't give me the feel like I have right now. (Even they were single at that time before the news of Jieun came up).

But, right now, what I feel is that Jiyong and Jieun, both are so different but at the same time are so similar to each other. They could puzzle each other in a way, I don't think I can explain it clearly.

The way they represent each other, somehow trigger me about themselves. Both Jiyong and Jieun must have suffered a lot, both in love and in their lives. They deserve the best to be happy, as a fan, I always want them to be happy. Because they heal me, in a way that I've never believed it would work for me.

Because of that, they need to be happy. I know I don't have the right to say this. But, Jiyong needs someone like Jieun in his life. And Jieun needs someone like Jiyong in her life as well.

Why?

Jiyong is such an attention seeker, but at the same time he is the central of public. He shines everywhere he goes, and he always gets himself involved in the crowded. He is a perfect example of celebrity, people's person. But at the same time, he’s always lonely. That's contradictory right? He's so successful, he's so charming and he shines like a diamond elsewhere, but he's lonely. I can feel that he’s so desperate for something, something that makes him feel more peaceful and more... you know... more safe. That's why he needs someone like Jieun, someone who never tries to be extraordinary, but she's extraordinary. She never tries to stand out and catch attention from people, but that's her unique charm. She is someone whom he can lay on, because she's always there, she will always be there. She's also someone who can put you back to some calmness with her voice and her soul. Her personality will present a serenity that Jiyong needs. And of course, what she lacks of, the jollity that she has missed during her youth, will be balanced by Jiyong. He will bring her out for doing things that she had missed out all her life because she’s been busy for her career.

Even if they cannot end up being together, I hope they will find someone like that. Someone to puzzle them, so they will find their own missing pieces.

I love them so much, that's why I hope they are happy.

But as much as I love them, I will always stay here, support them and their precious friendship that needs to be protected as much as support them individually.

Jieun ah,

Jiyong ah,

please be happy.
