His Song

In the last posting, I shared a beautiful flash created by shaofeiliu, "Joon ssi, Happy Vanlentine's Day!", in this flash, a pretty song was played, and we call it BYJ's song. Jaime kind of asking about the origin of this song, or the origin of why this song is called "his song". I digged through bb's posting on 2006 June 06, here is the link to that month's archive, I could not figure out how to get to that particular posting, so here I might as well copy paste the entire article since it is not too long anyway.



you're born to be loved

ginnie asks:
What is the origin of the Bae Yong Joon song "Born to be loved"? Why is this song considered BYJ's song? I love the song very much. Do you have the lyrics and more information on the singer?

bb says:
now i'm not the authority on this one, what i do know is also told to me by other fans. so i'm just re-telling the story. if anyone of you out there knows otherwise, or have additional information to share, pls pls pls share, k?

'born to be loved' is actually a hymn, quite a popular one amongst christians in korea apparently. and of course, it was and still is an ode to god.

but many, many moons ago, i've no idea how long, the song was already adopted as the BYJ's song when i became a fan in 2002. apparently, some korean fans had found the lyrics of the song befitting of how they felt about the man, how he really, really, really seemed to be someone who's born to be loved. so they started treating the song like his song.

later, when the man began mesmerizing and dazzling more women outside of korea, for instance, in taiwan, hong kong and singapore... fan clubs started sprouting and they too started to see this song as the song for the man. the chinese fans event went so far as to re-write the lyrics into chinese whilst keeping the meaning of the song
为爱而生...

there're quite many versions to this song... and sorry, i don't know who the original singer is. there's a very popular female version, there's also a male one, and a children's one, and then an instrumental one. and quite recently, korean pop singer lee soo young also included this song in one of her albums. i like the lee soo young version the best.

and oh, click here
to download the earlier female version.

as for the lyrics... yea, i've them. not quite sure what version you want... so will post the english one for you, so that you understand what's being sung. addicted, are you here? or any other korean fans out there? could you help me check if the english version's correct? and i'll also post the romanized korean lyrics so that it's easier for you to sing along, k?
