Beautiful Stranger

foreword. . . .

i fall in love with the song even without knowing that changmin is the one person that writing the lyric.

although he's not the only one writing the whole song-songwriter kim eunjeong also took part, but i think that he took the most part in writing it.

for me, this song sounds very personal. at first i check at the translation that @janietvxq added on the site (thankyou!), i start freeze with thoughts that maybe this song explain something special related to a person. no one ever knows where's the inspiration came from, but whoever hearing this could feel that the lyric has a deep meaning (especially after you read the translation).

i imagine a time while he experiences what he tries to picture on the song. i wonder how he felt when he does. he has through an half of his life to be a korean idol, well, international idol. crowding by people.. walks with all of people eyes on him. and now let's overrule the fact: he's still a human. he must has a feeling for a person in a special way like every human like in their own lifetime. and because it never revealed in media, i thought that maybe he just hided it himself. and he push himself to forget the feeling of loving a person, as a couple in a relationship, because it can influences his career that he builds since young age.

the feeling that he transfers inspired me to turn it into something that can be easier to figure it out, to picturing it like a music video (which is i'm not able to make), so i write it down here.

i think this song is more than it seems. it contains loneliness, emptiness, flutter, and hope. it must be there a person that very faintly happened in his memory but can be so impressive in his heart.

i always hope he can find that one.

i hope you too.

and for shim changmin,
thank you for a beautiful lyric, and for a lot of things.

love, zhraya
