“Love always runs away” is the last video that Jung Gil sent us before Christmas.

His version of an original song by Lim Young-woong.

Another title from his playlist that he wanted us to discover.

True to its repertoire, this melancholy ballad is completely in harmony with a gray and rainy Sunday.

This title was immediately subtitled in English and we appreciate being able to understand these beautiful words, but a question arises, we do not always understand the reasoning or the motivations of those who put these videos online and we haveย  the feeling that we are taking one step forward and two back.

Why didn’t they put subtitles on Jung Gil’s ORIGINAL songย  aired on December 14?

It’s HIS song and even the title is only written in Hangul!

Ok he’s a Korean singer that’s normal
Okay he can’t tour the world at the moment.

But if we broadcast a music video on Youtube it seems to us that the goal is not only to have it listened to by the “national” market (which in any way shuns google and Youtube most of the time …)

Come on, just a little bit effort more
Why not start by also writing titles in “romanized” characters on all these beautiful published videos?

Here is the latest ” Love Always Runs away”

–

 

… and here is HIS SONG , whose lyrics we have translated to better understand and appreciate his performance.
