JTONG - 이정훈 (cover)

Independent sales for JTONG’s ‘이정훈’ [Lee Junghoon] begin, 4 MVs released

The official website where JTONG’s second full-length album ‘이정훈’ [Lee Junghoon] can be bought has opened today.
By pre-releasing the three tracks ‘갈’‘개량한복’ [Modernized Hanbok], and ‘누군가의 가슴이 뛰길’ [May Someone’s Heart Race] free to listen, JTONG caused several controversies already and has gained many fans’ attention.

The album will only be available via the official website’s shop and at JTONG’s concert venues. With this independent way of distribution, JTONG has completely escaped the system. Everyone who registers on the website until September 30 will randomly receive the original HD file of one of the four music videos that have been released (see below).

Verse 1)
In short, the entertainment world is fucking shit
Fuck all the experts, fuck entertain!
A distribution [of profits] ratio of 8:2, does that make sense?
More than half are pitiful slave trainees

The stripped sight, nearly like prostitutes((Reference to the revealing clothes idols often have to wear))
You’re the sex toy for entertainment uses of higher-ups
Rapists who hold power instead of a knife
Incidents behind black curtains, Jang Jayeon((Actress who committed suicide due to depression after being abused by higher-ups of the entertainment world))

Hook)
The culprit is our country’s leadership
The culprit is our country’s leadership
When you go stand in front of the mirror,
the face that stares at you intently, a mask

Experts say, “Money is the best thing”
Experts say, “Money is the best thing”
Ha! I oppose that opinion
The important thing are interhuman relations

Verse 2)
The way I see it, the whole Republic of Korea is abnormal
Fuck you, government who ignores the people
A one-sided refusal of communication
South Korea’s damn rotten bubble, the Ministry of Gender Equality((Please understand that JTONG is not against gender equality. The Ministry of Gender Equality is a controversial institution often criticized for giving privileges to women. *))

First, the Man of Korea: Sung Jaegi((The Man of Korea is an organization that fights for men’s rights and has been wanting the Ministry of Gender Equality abolished for the reason that they do pro-women activities which discriminate against men. Sung Jaegi was the organization’s first leader. *))
May you forget this world and rest in peace
Now, to the minister of the Ministry of Gender Equality,
as a tax-paying citizen, I shall complain a bit

Hook)
Let us jerk off in peace already
Let us jerk off in peace already
That bullshit Act on the Protection of Children and Juveniles from Sexual Abuse,((An extremely controversial act; the range of what is forbidden and what is not is unclear and seems arbitrary. With the line above, “Let us jerk off in peace already,” JTONG probably wants to express that people cannot watch porn in peace because they’re scared they might be punished for violating this very act for some reason. *)) seriously
Shit, why is every-day life being repressed all the time?((He’s asking for basic human rights.))

Look, madam Park Geunhye
Search online for comments on the Ministry of Gender Equality((He is telling her to care for the people’s opinion.))
The fate of the Republic of Korea is determined by its culture
You are South Korea’s first female president

Bridge)
I pledge, in front of proud Taegeukgi,
allegiance to the Republic of Korea for the eternal glory of the country, liberty and justice.((Official English translation of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of South Korea, taken from Wikipedia))

Verse 3)
The textbooks talk of a society where people live together
After actually experiencing society, it turns out it’s all a triangle-shaped pyramid
Damned stuffed pigs with human masks
get together and are busy using each other to gain more((In other words; rich people just try to get richer.))

Dirty true colors hidden behind a smiling face
All the pitch-black ulterior motives in your head, fuck that!
I will never ever sell my soul
I will personally show and prove myself for life

Hook)
In the face of reality, my method is definite
In the face of reality, my method is definite
Yeah! Until my senility,
I shall live saying what I want to say

May someone’s heart race
May someone’s heart race due to me
May their heart race, win over the world
May my flame spark your courageous decision
