Too Late 

By: Yoon Jae Chan(윤재찬) (XRO) feat Siso (시소) 

Too Late Too Late

비록 먼 길을 돌아왔지만

이제 서로의 앞에 서 있어

Too Late Too Late 

Even though we’ve come a long way 

Now we’re standing in front of each other 

수많은 별들을 지나 너에게 왔어

새파란 하늘 달려 난 너 옆에 왔어

모든 순간의 감정들을

내게 안겨다 줄 수 있는건 너잖아

You’re All of my life

널 바라만 봐도 난 눈물이 나고

또 눈물이 나면 나 웃음을 짓고

나만의 너를 또 너만의 내가

옆에 있어 줄게 넌 나만을 믿어

Countless stars have passed and I’ve come to you 

I run under the blue sky and stand next to you 

The feelings from every moment 

You’re the only one who can give me a hug 

You’re all of my life 

If I just look at you, I start tearing up 

If I cry again, I put on a smile 

My own you and your own me 

I’ll stand by your side, just believe in me 

⠀

그저 웃어주면 돼

시간 지나 영원 속에 갇힐 때까지

Just smile for me 

Until time passes, and I’m locked up in infinity 

Too Late Too Late

여기까지 오는 길이

Today Today

이제야 안을 수 있어

Too Late Too Late

The road until here 

Today Today 

Now I can hug you 

비록 먼 길을 돌아왔지만

이제 서로의 앞에 서 있어

처음부터 정해진 것처럼

Even though we’ve come a long way 

Now we’re standing in front of each other 

As if it was fixed from the beginning 

⠀

가만히 눈을 감을 때

같은 길을 걸을 때

난 네 마음을 느꼈어

서툰 눈 맞춤의 떨림도

같은 발걸음 같은 표정

처음부터 Always I’m with you

널바라만봐도난눈물이나고

또눈물이나면나웃음을짓고

나만의너를또너만의내가

옆에있어줄게넌나만을믿어

⠀

When I close my eyes 

When I walk the same road 

I can feel your heart 

Even the trembling from passing clumsy glances 

The same footsteps, the same facial expression 

From the start, always I’m with you 

If I just look at you, I start tearing up 

If I cry again, I put on a smile 

My own you and your own me 

I’ll stand by your side, just believe in me 

그저 웃어주면 돼

시간 지나 영원 속에 갇힐 때까지

Just smile for me 

Until time passes, and I’m locked up in infinity 

Too Late Too Late

여기까지 오는 길이

Today Today

이제야 안을 수 있어

Too Late Too Late

The road until here 

Today Today 

Now I can hug you 

⠀

비록 먼 길을 돌아왔지만

이제 서로의 앞에 서 있어

처음부터 정해진 것처럼

Even though we’ve come a long way 

Now we’re standing in front of each other 

As if it was fixed from the beginning

[Fave Idol Radio moments 22/∞] XRO’s Hiro wanted to shake hands with Coco and his wish came true 😊

So, as it seems KPOP can't go a fucking week without disrespecting other POC cultures. Here’s a link to a fanmade lyrics video.

 Listen to this shit and tell me it's not blatant mockery. 

What’s worse is that I’m actually confused if they meant Native Americans (which if anyone is unaware: calling Natives red indians or indians is offensive) or actual Indians because both cultures have been often represented in the media as savages. The “tarzan” reference is also fucking weird because if I remember correctly Tarzan’s fictional character is based in Africa. Top it off with the utter MESS of a dance break (which btw, if someone knows what they’re chanting in the dance break let me know because I am confused) and you have XRO’s debut single where they thought Racism, Cultural Appropriation and all around disrespectfulness was a great concept to go with :)

Once again, KPOP shows that they see all brown people cultures as interchangeable and won’t so much as take the time of day to educate themselves or their artists. 

Btw This is a rookie group whose fans are ALREADY defending them, saying they don’t care if they’re called “problematic” but they fuck with XRO. Do yall see a problem here or is it just me? Every time these companies don’t acknowledge their racism and CA, these fans get validation to go and try to shut down POC voices.

I should mention, none of the actual members are credited for the song writing. The song was apparently written by @/9x_x9 and choreographed by @/j.tube_ (both on Instagram) but it blows my mind knowing how many approvals songs (esp debut songs I’d think) have to go through and this is the one that passed every single one.

July in Kpop

Pre-Debut Songs//January//February//March//April//May//June//July//August//September//October//November//December

July 6

Red Velvet-IRENE & SEULGI - Monster

Tek - yeah so I pre-ordered every version of this back in June

Kas - My girls! Tekla said this first, but I agree with her: Was this a Red Velvet comeback in the works before Wendy’s injury? It doesn’t sound completely foreign to the group’s concept. 

*Rankings (by K): Monster - (5); Naughty - (5); Diamond - (5); Feel Good - (5); Jelly - (5); Uncover (sung by SEULGI) - (5)

July 7

DONGKIZ I:KAN - “Y.O.U”

Kas - Really good. Dongkiz is going on my to-listen list.*Rankings (by K): Y.O.U - (5)

Tek - yeah it was fine

July 16

Yiyang - “Listen”

Tek - she sounds lovely, but I’m not a huge fan of ballads as debuts

Kas - It’s okay. Not an eye catching debut.

*Rankings (by K): Listen - (3)

XRO - “Welcome to My Jungle”

Tek - I’ll be very surprised if Kas doesn’t like this

Kas - Screw you. But yes I love them. Like dang. Okay. My kind of ish.

*Rankings (by K): Chuckle - (5); Welcome To My Jungle - (5); Drunken - (5)

July 18

SSAK3 - “Beach Again”

Tek - fun

Kas - I really like both songs.

*Rankings (by K): DDALALA - (5); Lip Gloss - (4)

Y&W - “Walk With Me”

Kas - I really liked this song. I’ll have to give anything else they have out a listen. *Rankings (by K): Walk With Me - (4)

Tek - I’m only in July and it’s getting harder and harder for songs to stand out to me. It’s a nice song, it really is, but in the past few days I feel like I’ve heard so many like it.

July 20

CHIC&IDLE - “3! 4!”

Tek - Same as before. Do I like it? Yes. Is it a nice song? Yes. Does it stand out in any way? No! (The outfits are cute, but that’s not the song.)

Kas - Look me in the eyes and tell me it isn’t SNSD 2020 edition.

*Rankings (by K): 3! 4! - (3)

July 23

Huh Chan Mi - “Highlight”

Tek - This is more my music taste. July has really been failing me.

Kas - A really solid little release. I don’t have any complaints. They weren't stand out songs, which lost them the 5,  but not everything has to be. 

*Rankings (by K): Lights - (4); I’m fine thanks - (4)

July 27

Yoon Dujun - Daybreak

Tek - Look. Again, it’s nice. It’s pleasant. He has a nice voice. For most of these debuts I really don’t have anything to say. It’s a little above average for me, but something to write home about? .........maybe.

Kas - Yes Tek, you were right. I like him. I really enjoyed this album, actually. New comfort soloist? I think yes. Little note: I like how the two songs before it are more somber, and “Fool of Love” takes on a more playful air as he is playing the fool. And after EXO-SC, I’m always here for a Moon collab.

*Rankings (by K): 0:00am - (5); Lonely Night - (5); Fool of Love - (5); Save Me - (5); Be My Light - (4)

July 31

Blastar - “One Way”

Tek - the best way I can think to describe this is ‘almost special.’ I don’t know where it missed the mark, but it did.

Kas - Yes! I love it. I don’t quite know why I like it so much, something about the chorus...*Wait they disbanded on Christmas eve? What kind of a present is that?

*Ranking (by K): One Way - (5)

I don't know about y'all but I'm tired. Im so tired of this kind of crap. I mean you just have to wonder what the hell is going on with these companies that think its ok??? There have been too many incidents/examples that show its not. Then you start thinking, "are they doing this on purpose??? Is it a PR thing??" But it cant be right??? We have so much going on. Too much for this kind of blatant disregard. Like I said, I'm tired.

Roundup: Freshest Releases

Somi “What You Waiting For?

Has Somi’s voice always been this nasal? Overall this is an improvement over the mess that “Birthday” was, but writing a catchy pop song is not that simple, even a good production like this is lacking drive and sounds outdated.

Hyo feat. Loopy & Soyeon “Dessert”

Wow, I liked everything about this track except the awful chorus.

XRO "Welcome To My Jungle”

This sounds like something BTS would have released in 2014, you know, the last time BTS released good music.
