Tears of Mokpo - K.Will

This is also a performance in Immortal Song 2, just like Yoseob's Mom. But this is a performance in a unique and special episode.
Korean Best Male Singer edition...
Oh wow, 8 of them are awesome!! Actually my favorite singer there was Kim Tae Woo only.
But now, I like them all. ALL!! 8 of them!!

1. Kim Tae Woo (His performance was great when he did tap dance! Woo-hoo!) : The Red Shoes
2. K.Will : Tears of Mokpo/Mokpo's Tears
3. Wheesung (He really enjoy he's own performance, nice job Wheesung! He beat Im Tae Kyung that won twice in a row... Wowwwww~~) : The Man with Yellow Shirt
4. Lee Hyuk (Norazo) [His performance was the real music named ROCK!! AWESOME~] : Kick the Moon (Final winner)
5. Lee Jung (Geez, if you see from his style you'll shock when you see his performance) : Cheongpodo Love (Green Grape Love)
6. Hwanhee : Reed's Genuine
7. Seokhoon (SG Wannabe) : One Fine Spring Day
8. Im Tae Kyung (His voice is awesome. He's a popera singer as I remember...) : Miss Camellia

8 of them did their best and all of their performances are AWESOME!!
But my favorite is :
K.Will with Tears of Mokpo...

It's so difficult to find the lyrics. Then how about the translation...? Of course it's more harder...
=________=
Because actually this song is VERY OLD.
Fortunately I found the video of K.Will's show.


The song expresses the sorrow of the wives whose husbands have been taken away by Japanese soldiers for harsh labor and other slave-like activities, torturing as well. This was when Korea was colonized by Japan in 1935. Mokpo was one of the seaports during that time, hence when the korean men were being shipped the tears on Mokpo was shed by the wives.

After all, this is a TOTALLY AWESOME performance!


Go, K.Will go K.Will, GO!!

And this is an old video of the old version of Tears of Mokpo (or Mokpo's Tears).. This is the original version of it... by Lee Nan Young (I think the name is right, it's so hard to find about it...)


Hope you like it!
I'll post all of them someday... I like this episode SO MUCH!!
Sincerely,
---JW---
