Intro)
Love, anyway, alright
Love, anyway, alright, let’s get it
Verse 1)
I liked your heart
more than your face
I liked your gaze
more than your lips
Hook)
All love (all love) the lady in my life
All love (all love) the lady in my life
Anyway, alright
Anyway, alright
Anyway, once more
Your and my unclear relationship (relationship)
A relationship you left
Verse 2: Take One)
Let’s talk about love science
The feelings between me and you, is this love?
Or just a prank of the hormones? A longing for reproduction?
Is it a chemical reaction in the brain? I have absolutely no idea
To say “I love you,” I press you down
on purpose, our mouths like one,
because it is important to me that
my sexual desires are satisfied
Actually, I am scared of facing that fact
so I answer vaguely to the question if we made love
I just want to love you secretly
You’re probably badmouthing me with your friends behind my back
Only now I understood the reason why we broke up
Both our beginning and end happened ‘by instinct’
Is this love or an expression to use as an excuse?
I, at least, call it ‘love’
Climb)
My one and only, my love
Hook)
Bridge)
When time has passed, you will remember vividly
(Do not let go of my hands)
I’ll be there, I’ll be there
Shall I get out of your sight?((Reference to the saying ‘Out of sight, out of mind.’))
When my eyes and ears are reached by your
voice, your breath, when I feel all of you
I want you, I need you, you tell me
Tell you, I miss you, come to me now
Hook)

K-Fan News
The third K-Fan News coming your way with Squidzino, album rumors (?), and lots of videos of Hi-Lite, Cohort and CB Mass.
These days, Korean hiphop fans seem to be mainly discussing the scene’s issues which includes lots of negativity. Therefore, the news this time around are made up of good vibes only. Enjoy!
First up is the ELUV Show’s interview with the Underwater Squad. Many Koreans were amused by Keith Ape‘s “cute” poor English and Jay Allday’s accent. Someone pointed out their manager Oscar’s “swagful” voice while someone else was wondering if they were high at the time. See and hear it for yourself!
One fan posted videos of B-Free performing live ‘Hot Summer’, ‘느껴’ [Feel It], ‘불타’ [On Fire], ‘막지못해’ [Can’t Stop Me], and ‘It Ain’t Easy (feat. Jinbo)’ on ‘EBS Space’. The post has close to 7,000 views and fans discussed which performance they like best or if they prefer the recording over the live performances. Instead of reposting that fan’s favorites, here is my ‘EBS Space’ favorite:
The pictures of Beenzino and Krystal‘s photoshoot have not only stirred up ‘overseas’ fans but also Korean fans. While most ‘overseas’ fans expressed their envy towards Beenzino, Korean fans commented: “Next to Krystal, he’s just a squid,” “Goddess Soojung,” “Krystal is damn pretty, Beenzino’s become a squid,” “Beenzino looks really strange on the first pic,” “Why does Beenzino look so ugly because of Krystal?” “Beenzino’s expression looks so awkward on the second pic, was he nervous?” “He’s still better looking than you guys,” “True,” “Next to Krystal, he’s Squidzino lol,” “It is indeed awkward,” “Krystal goddess,” “He’s handsome but the angle destroys it.”
Do you agree with them?
Someone called 2015 the ‘golden age’ of Korean hiphop, since Keith Ape, TakeOne, Verbal Jint, and E-Sens were set to release albums this year. Other fans commented: “They wanted to release those albums, but they will definitely not come out this year,” “I think Keith Ape and TakeOne’s albums will come out this year,” “Simon D also said he was working on an album with the goal to release it in the first half of the year,” “Blacknut, Genius Nochang [have albums coming up this year too],” “I heard Double K will release an album this month.”
Whose album are you looking forward to this year?
Under the title “Aren’t you mentally exhausted looking at the [Khiphop] scene these days? Therefore ..” one fan posted three music videos of CB Mass’ alongside a long text about the scene these days, saying that they cannot believe how negative everyone is acting and that every artist deserves respect for making inspiring music. Finally, they noted that the reason why people are acting the way they are is because they want the scene to progress and have musical diversity.
While thinking about these wise words, listen to ‘Whistle’ by CB Mass.
