April 1 in Korea

April 1st is international "Fool Day" when everyone jokes, kidding, play a tricks.
On April 1 you often can hear "Hey, your back is white!!!"

In Korea it's practically the same.
One of the most popular topics for tricks is love affairs.
So if you get such a message :
만약 내가 사귀자면
우리는 사결 수 있을까?
졀대 상상 못 했겠지?
예상 못 했겠지? 노도.
고민. 내 말을 받아 줘

be careful~ read first syllables of every line (from up to down):
만우졀 예고 that means Fool Day notice. So don't take it serious ;)

The text may differ:

       만약내가사귀자면
우리사귈수있겠나
절대안되겠쩨ㅡㅡ
예상못했제..나도
고민 많이 했다.
- P양 -　　

만약에내가사라져
도우리친했던친구
인거절대로있지마
그래도예전일못잊
을것같다고마웠어
     만나도인사하자머
    우리가언제친했냐
     절대인사하지마라
    예의상욕은안할께
    고마웠어...........
 
만일내가사기자면
우리사귈수있을까
절대못대겠지......
예상못했지??나도
고민많이했어......

Kangta

For all ballad lovers (I'm not a big fan of such a genre)

Found very nice romantic composition by chance.
Unfortunately I did not know who is singer and the title of the song so I googled it by put a stroke from the lyrics
(teutgi practice ~~ ). And the result was:

Kangta (안칠현) - 야상곡 (Nocturne).
The song with lyrics you can find here


Kangta is ex-member of H.O.T. (High-five of Teenagers <--- nice title for band kkkkk) and international project Kangta & Vanness.

According to Wiki, in 2006, Kangta was chosen as a runner up for Best Korean Singer overseas, according to Arirang International Broadcasting.

I wonder who is owner of this shop?))
Is he or she Russian? ~ Cuz my name is Slavic, not "international" and widely spread like for example Maria or Anna. So curious about it )))

Unfortunately I did not know about this shop when I was in Korea. but definitely next time  I wanna drop there and buy some items for sure!!~~~
