Walking Back the Memory
“It was a windy day when she waved
away her small hand, and with an awkward smile, she looked me in the eyes. But
I couldn’t make her stay back then, and although I regret it now, when I saw
her getting far from me, I felt so afraid. My heart ached.” –Kim Sung
Ho, Kim Sung Ho’s Reminiscence
[translated lyrics]
Pada musim gugur ini, program
acara musik “Immortal Songs 2: Singing the Legend” menyiarkan sebuah edisi
spesial “Autumn Men”. Dalam episode 127
tersebut, tidak ada legenda tertentu yang ditampilkan, tetapi sebagai gantinya,
sebanyak enam ‘autumn men’
didatangkan sebagai bintang tamu untuk berkolaborasi dengan para penampil dalam
episode tersebut. Salah satu kolaborasi yang menarik adalah antara Lee Hae Ri dan
Kim Dong Hyun. Lee Hae Ri, seperti yang sudah dikenal, adalah leader dari duo vocal Davichi. Sedangkan Kim Dong Hyun, yang mungkin namanya
masih asing, adalah atlet nasional martial
arts Korea Selatan. A man who loves
sport meets a woman who loves music. The
best fighter and the best female vocalist are in a duet!
Episode 127 edisi spesial “Autumn Men” menampilkan lagu-lagu musim
gugur yang legendaris, the autumn men’s
autumn melodies. Episode ini ditayangkan pada tanggal 16 November 2013 di
stasiun televisi KBS, serta pada tanggal 7 Desember 2013 di channel KBS World. Duet the beauty and the beast, Lee Hae Ri dan
Kim Dong Hyun, tampil membawakan sebuah lagu berjudul “Kim Sung Ho’s
Reminiscence”. Dirilis pertama kali pada tahun 1989, versi original lagu pop folk ini bukan merupakan lagu duet.
Namun, di tangan Lee Hae Ri dan Kim Dong Hyun, “Kim Sung Ho’s Reminiscence”
menjadi sebuah lagu duet pop ballad
yang tak kalah indah dengan versi originalnya.

“Kim Sung Ho’s Reminiscence” is a song about a man who reminisces on
his past lover. Its sentimental
lyrics talked about the day of the breakup. Since the first time I heard this song and knew the meaning of its
lyrics, it suddenly hit me hard. I mean, what’s written in its lyrics is something that everyone has experienced.
And yes, it’s what I’ve experienced too. Everyone
in their life must have a sad memory about their past lovers, with a little bit of pain and a little bit
of regret. Well, I guess there’s nothing more to say, the chorus part is already explaining
everything. “I sometimes shed tears,
when I feel that I’m all alone. I miss her so much, but I don’t even have any single picture left. She cried when she left me, but
it wasn’t easy for me either. I was
too young back then, I didn’t know
how precious she was.”
Indeed, autumn is the season
of loneliness. And this song fits the
season well. It has sorrowful melody
and lyrics that make this song perfect for autumn. Moreover, Lee Hae Ri and Kim
Dong Hyun’s calm yet deep performance was touching everyone’s hearts. The way the interpreted the song was so
great. Their rendition of “Kim Sung
Ho’s Reminiscence” gave this kind of feeling, ‘The man who thought that he’s less than perfect, and the woman who thought that he’s more
than perfect. They were so caring for
each other that they decided to break up.’ With their performance, Lee
Hae Ri and Kim Dong Hyun had successfully taken “Kim Sung Ho’s Reminiscence” to
the next level. Though they didn’t
win a round on this episode, their
performance was beautiful and impressive.
“Those times that I’ve spent with
her weren’t so bad. I resented her couples of times, but she was a good person.
But that’s not so true, she gave me pain and made my heart aches. We sometimes
walked without talking, but it was a good memory. I felt so sorry.”
–Kim Sung Ho, Kim Sung Ho’s Reminiscence
