There is a very famous Korean drama that just ended. 

It is called Queen of Tears (눈물의 여왕). 

I also enjoyed watching this drama very much. I think the technology of the drama production team that makes Korean drama characters come out very cool and pretty on the screen is amazing.

It is currently on Netflix and is also at the top of the list of non-English-speaking dramas worldwide. As the drama grew in popularity, the popularity of the tracks naturally increased. 

The song "Love with all my heart" was sung by Korean singer Crush. It is also the main theme song of the drama. It is a luxury ballad that goes well with the heartbreaking melody and voice.

I only transcribed the lyrics of this song into the first verse.

미안해 미워해 사랑해  /  Crush

It's the same day

이렇게 너를 다시 불러보는

잊고 있던 마음들과

이제야 내미는

나의 미련한 진심들

늦어서 미안해

I wish I could  have told you that

I was born to love you

To love you with all my heart

널 향한 심장이 멈춰지지가 않아

Still want you all the time

아직 내 마음속 한켠의 방에

그리움으로 가득 채워

너를 기다려

Need you all the time

아무 말도 전하지 못해

시간속을 헤메이는

나를 미워해

And I filmed a video of writing this.

If you want to watch the music video of this song, you can watch the next video. The lyrics are interpreted in English, so if you watch the video, it will be helpful in many ways.

I chose yellow tulips for the photos that would fit the main theme song of this wonderful and beautiful drama.

Do you think this is a good picture for this poem? I'm very curious. 🧐

Also, I edited this photo using the experiment 23. Actually, I tried editing because the home printer didn't come out well, but it's pretty good. 😁

Thank you so much for watching my long writings and pictures so far. 🤗

I also have NewJeans' album in my house. I have a couple of IU's albums, but it's my first time buying a girl group album. I'm also a fan of NewJeans, but my daughter is a big fan.

ETA

In this era, NewJeans is a very famous K-pop girl group that draws attention from all over the world. The group has been debuting for about two years, but every time they release a new song, they are so influential that they dominate the UK charts, as well as Spotify charts, Apple music charts, and Billboard charts.

NewJeans will release a single a few days later on April 27 and release a single the following month.

Min, the producer of the famous girl group, is called the mother of NewJeans. The agency of NewJeans is an affiliate of HYBE, a large agency that BTS belongs to. 

The problem is that mom and dad have a fight over NewJeans, who is about to make a comeback. The fight between representative Min and HYBE began with a flood of newspaper articles saying that the New Jeans agency was trying to get out of HYBE. Currently, there is a fierce battle between the two in Korea.

NewJeans Get UP Album

There was a similar incident a few years ago. Do you remember the girl group called FIFTY FIFTY? This group is a South Korean girl group that stayed on the Billboard main chart for a long time with the song Cupid. However, due to the conflict between the members and the representative of the agency, it is almost dismantled. I think it was very unfortunate.

If you can't remember, listen to this song.

No one knows how the conclusion will be, but I'm a fan of New Jeans, and I pray that there will be no impact on NewJeans' music. I don't want to see this group looking anxious or atrophied. I'm waiting for NewJeans' music, and I hope their fight doesn't go any deeper. 🙏🙏

Why did a very famous K pop girl group IVE sue a Cyber Wrecker?

First of all, the fundamental reason is that a YouTuber disgraced a K-pop girl group member by disparaging her appearance or making fake news about her.

The YouTuber earned advertising revenue by creating false news or spreading it about many popular stars and increasing their views with her YouTube account called "탈덕수용소". 

The YouTube account is currently unavailable. The account was closed after a U.S. court in California ordered the YouTuber to be informed.

The article of the Korean English newspaper below explains more details.

Since the development of the Internet, there have been people who produce malicious comments or false news, but these days in Korea, YouTubers have succeeded to gain popularity and become a means of making money, and the degree has become too severe.

So what does Cyber Wrecker mean? 

Wrecker has the following dictionary meanings. 

1. a truck that takes away cars that are damaged or not working, tow truck

2. someone or something that destroys something

3. used in combination

If there is a traffic accident on a highway here in Korea, the first vehicle that comes running is not a police car or emergency services, but this Wrecker. It's a tow truck for towing an accident vehicle. That's how fast this Wrecker means speed and influence.

Cyber Wrecker comes from criticizing YouTubers who get views and profit from issues in the online space here in Korea by organizing them quickly.

The company, which has been plagued by constant bullying, has filed a legal case against the YouTuber, and its member, Jang, has also filed a civil suit as an individual and recently won the case.

The YouTuber created and distributed false news about BTS's V and members of NewJeans, who are also preparing to sue.

In Korea, there is now a movement to create the right culture by responding directly to the wrong culture of such malicious fans and taking legal action.

IVE agency's website

Recently, it has become popular in Korea to eat cup noodles and leave photos on social media at Uiseoreum near the top of Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island.

However, there is so much leftover ramen soup that it is suffering from exceeding the allowable capacity of the food processor installed in Hallasan National Park, and eventually, the national park began a campaign to "라면 국물 남기지 않기 운동 (not leave ramen soup)."

One of the Uiseoreum of Jeju Island

In addition, the Hallasan National Park Management Office is campaigning to reduce the amount of soup itself by promoting "Half Soup base + Half Water" to reduce the amount of soup itself and to control the food waste left over in advance. These campaigns are related to the worldwide conservation movement.

Do you know about Leave No Trace?

Leave No Trace is a conservation movement by the LNT Center, a non-profit organization that started in 1994 in the United States. This conservation movement encourages humans to set and follow various guidelines to prevent damage to nature, especially when visiting mountains.

I think the most efficient way is to start this campaign where this trend began. In my opinion, it is to induce people to take a proof shot of eating ramen and not leaving any food waste at Hallasan Mountain on Jeju Island and post it on social media. If famous celebrities or influencer participate, the effect will be better. 

* Additional matters

 Ramen is a very popular food here in Korea. The origin of instant ramen is chicken ramen made by Nissin Food, a Japanese company. The cup noodles I'm going to talk about today were also developed for the first time in Japan.

In Korea, Samyang Foods launched its first instant ramen, Samyang Ramen, in 1963, and its consumption has increased tremendously as it has become so popular worldwide.

What is Bam Yang Gang(밤양갱)? 

These days, a song called BIBI's Bam Yang Gang(밤양갱) is very popular in Korea.

Chestnuts are chestnut fruits, which are said to ripen into a dark brown color with a diameter of 2.5 to 4 cm. Yanggang is known as one of the first types of jelly made in Japan. It is usually made with red beans as the main ingredient or chestnuts. It is said that they make Yanggang by boiling agar powder, water, sugar, and starch syrup and then cooling it down.

Then, let's take a look at the Bam Yanggang products that are selling well in Korea.

It's stacked with paper boxes, and inside it's a gold-colored coated paper wrapped around the yokan. This paper cover is torn by hand to take out the Yanggang, but it doesn't cut very neatly. Recently, this chestnut red bean paste product is selling very well. It is easy to get at convenience stores in Korea. Also, it is more delicious and chewy if you put it in the refrigerator and eat it cold.

This time, I'm going to peel this jelly. Originally, I tear this wrapping paper with my hands, but this time I'll cut it with a bread-cutting knife.

If you look at the contents of this jelly, it looks like a dark brown jelly as shown in the picture below.

The taste is not very sweet, and it has a slight scent of red beans and chestnuts. It is high in calories and does not stick to or stick to teeth like chocolates and candies, so it is gaining popularity as a unique snack for people who exercise for a long time.

In fact, the reason why this snack is so popular in Korea is because the song with the same title is so popular.

Link to the music video of Bam Yanggang, a song with the same title as this jelly.

The atmosphere of this song is bright and clear, but the lyrics show the change of emotions before and after the breakup, so unlike the cheerful melody, it represents the pain of separation and wants sweet jelly to overcome it.
