“It’s really cool to share with someone your color and scent. Even if you explain it in depth, those who don’t have the experience can’t understand it entirely. We are sharing this cool thing. You and I. So, what I am saying is...destiny is nothing far away. We are destined. I just wanted to say this – you and I, we are destined”— 김종현 Kim Jonghyun

“Imagine you are sitting down in a chair and on a screen before you you are shown a bloody, ripping film of yourself undergoing surgery. The surgery saved your life. It was pivotal in making you you. But you don’t remember it. Or do you? Do we understand the events that make us who we are? Do we ever understand the factors that make us do the things we do? When we sleep at night – when we walk across a field and see a tree full of sleeping birds – when we tell small lies to our friends – when we make love – what acts of surgery are happening to our souls – what damage and healing and shock are we going through that we will never be able to fathom? What films are generated that we will never be shown?”

“The person who gives up his individual self and becomes an automaton, identical with millions of other automatons around him, need not feel alone and anxious anymore. But the price he pays however, is high; it is the loss of his self.”

“We humans say [the piano] falls out of tune. But that’s not exactly accurate. Matter is struggling to return to a natural state.”

“Never forget the people who taught you great things in life. Always look back and have time to appreciate them. For they are a part of you and your story. Without these people, you’ll never be the person who you are right now. They helped you to build your confidence; they inspired you to believe in yourself. So as much as you can, continue appreciating them for all of their contribution to your positive life. Never forget the people who were there when you felt you lost everything. They were blessings in your life; keep them with you. Walk with them.”

“Everything about me is a contradiction, and so is everything about everybody else. We are made out of oppositions; we live between two poles. There's a philistine and an aesthete in all of us, and a murderer and a saint. You don't reconcile the poles. You just recognize them.”

– Orson Welles

“...the dramatic rise of urbanisation, industrialisation and increasing social isolation led to a mass crisis in identity to which industries responded with the so-called 'lifestyle solution'; an advertising model which imbibes the products it sells with the promise of meaning, personality and identity. In effect, the self has come to be imagined not as a force to be subdued, but a vacuum to be filled, and in order to maintain itself, consumer culture actively encourages consumers to see themselves as perpetually empty vessels; never whole, never complete, always in need of filling.”

– ‘Understanding Spirited Away: Consumption and Identity,’ Is This Just Fantasy?

“We consume, as we produce, without any concrete relatedness to the objects with which we deal; We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them.”

– Erich Fromm

“We are taught to consume. And that's what we do. But if we realized that there really is no reason to consume, that it's just a mind set, that it's just an addiction, then we wouldn't be out there stepping on people's hands climbing the corporate ladder of success."

– River Phoenix

“If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?”

“There was this question that goes like, if you are travelling with 5 animals in the desert and had to abandon one, which one will you choose (to abandon). I thought that was some kind of logical question and I used a lot of my brain to solve it. There was sheep, horse, monkey, and was it cow? And even lion. So I was like, ‘I'd abandon the lion!’ And if asked why, (I thought) it would bite and since it's the desert, it would get hungry and the lion would eat everything. So I decided to abandon the lion. But after that, I found out that it was actually a psychological test. The lion represented pride. It says that's the first thing (I would) abandon if I'm having a hard time. The last one that I abandoned last was the horse. The horse represented family. The monkey represented friends, and I abandoned it second, because it seems like it would fool around too much. I was like, I'd be frustrated and it would fool around so let's abandon it but kekekekeke and I was planning to ride the horse and travel.”

blue night radio (first broadcast) ♡ 140204 translation: bluenight0524 (first opening message) jonghyun: blue night, i am jonghyun. one day people asked a really well known photographer: “to take good pictures, what should i do first?” at this question, the photographer opened his mouth with no hesitation: “if you want to take good pictures then you say by taking the lens’ cover off first, right?” first of all: open the lens’ cover. i think those are certainly words i need right now. blue night: dj, shinee’s jonghyun. in those words that can’t be easily imagine i keep having only one thought: will i do well? what if i make mistakes? what can i do to do well? i kept only thinking of the outcome like that, only worrying about the outcome and, since i only focused on the result, i couldn’t come up with answers. that’s why, from now on, i will only think about this: just try it for now, also face it and we’ll see. the 3rd of february, between today and tomorrow, this is blue night. 

 [..] 

(first closing message) jonghyun: today i became blue night’s dj. it was a day with trembling and breathlessness. i don’t know how time went by. however, i will make one promise to you, everyone: if it’s possible i’d like to stay on this chair for a long time. while crying and laughing i’d like to treasure your stories and your daily life together, forever. piling up every day into becoming a life time …, i will make a precious time with blue night’s family. for me now, every day on this chair, just like an ordinary office worker, i should come and leave on the appointed time, right? that’s why the ending song i prepared for today is shinchirrem’s “the way back home from work”. well …, ah, i’m shaking. when this song ends i’ll be going back home from work, right? until now it has been blue night. i am jonghyun.

Blue Night 140203

Jonghyun: Also, the conclusion I came up with is that I want it to be a broadcast that’s like laying on a warm bed that has a hot mat laying and turned on top of it. I think it’d be nice if it’s a broadcast that you can comfortable listen while warmly laying on your bed with your eyes closed. I’m actually using a hot mat on my bed to sleep these days. It’s warm and really comfortable ^^!!

Jonghyun: The Blue Night logo songs that will come out today, although they’re lacking, they’re songs I worked hard on preparing. I made them after getting help from some friends to complete them. Let’s hear it once~

Blue Night 140203

Jonghyun: The food that comes in mind thinking of my mom is Korean crab stew (꽃게탕). During activities, I had caught swine flu and my body was hurting a lot, my mom made Korean crab stew. It was tasty but it was hard as I had to debone (?)and eat the crab. I was hurting and was quite sensitive and seeing the stew I had to eat with difficulty, I suddenly got angry. 

To be honest, I didn’t know back then, but after everything, I heard it from my mom that when I was young and had a fever or my body would hurt I would nag her to cook me food with crab in it. Whether it’s soy sauce marinated crab ( 간장게장) or Korean crab stew. 

However, I didn’t have any memories of this story. Since I was hurting a lot, my mum kept thinking of what to make me, then the memory that I gained strength after eating Korean crab stew came up to her, that’s why she made it for me. 

I was really bad…A bad foolish son… My mom made it thinking of me and I, without thinking, just got angry at her…

In a way to apologise to my mom I chose Lee Moon Se’s “under the street trees’ shade”. I want to listen to it together with you. A singer my mother really likes and said numerous times that she’d like to attend one of his concerts.

In the morning when I left home, she told me “Do well and come back, I’ll make sure to listen to it” she’s probably listening now…Are you listening well mom?

Blue Night 140204

Jonghyun: In this section, we will tell you about music related to various cities in the world. In one expression, its a corner where you can go around the world of music with me. Today’s theme was the British London. There was a time when I went there for a performance. The consequence of me going overseas for concerts or schedules frequently is that I feel that the fun places I go to are really nice places. When I went to the UK, what I felt was that, ah, people are living so comfortably and enjoy art a lot. Later on, if I have time, I really want to visit there again privately.
