Woman in the Rain
“I cannot forget that woman in the
rain, I cannot forget her. The yellow raincoat, the dark eyes, I can’t forget
them.” –Shin Jung Hyun, Woman in
the Rain [translated lyrics]
Program acara musik “Immortal
Songs 2: Singing the Legend” menayangkan edisi spesial “Battle of Kings” dalam episode 71 dan 72. Dalam edisi spesial ini,
hadir sebagai penampil adalah mereka yang pernah memenangkan trophy “Immortal Songs 2”. That was an epic match-up, a do or die battle between the winners to
choose the King of the kings. For
this unimaginable battles among the best, the legend who appeared in that episode was beyond imagination too.
Dia adalah Shin Jung Hyun, the
everlasting Godfather of Korean rock music. He’s the founder of Korean rock music, and he’s also the living legend of Korean popular music. He’s surpassed legend and become a part of
mythology. Amazingly, for the first time in “Immortal Songs 2”’s
history, everyone was on their feet
when he entered the studio.
Salah satu dari dua belas tim penampil
yang hadir dalam edisi spesial tersebut adalah Park Jae Bum alias Jay Park. Ia
tampil dalam episode 72, yaitu bagian kedua dari edisi spesial “Battle of Kings”, dan membawakan salah
satu lagu hits Shin Jung Hyun yang
berjudul “Woman in the Rain”. Episode ini mengudara pada tanggal 27 Oktober
2012 di stasiun televisi KBS, serta pada tanggal 17 November 2012 di channel KBS World. As expected from the king of performance, Jay Park, he re-arranged the
rock-blues song into an R n’ B dance song and showed a marvelous dance
performance. Namun sayangnya, meskipun menjadi favorit penonton untuk dapat
memenangkan edisi spesial tersebut, Jay tidak memenangkan satu round pun.

Satu tahun kemudian, lagu “Woman
in the Rain” kembali ditampilkan dalam program “Immortal Songs 2”. Kali ini
dalam episode 127 yang merupakan edisi spesial “Autumn Men”. Episode ini ditayangkan pada tanggal 16 November 2013
di stasiun televisi KBS, serta pada tanggal 7 Desember 2013 di channel KBS World. Dalam episode
tersebut, lagu ini ditampilkan oleh salah satu kolaborasi yang unik, yaitu
vokalis utama boy group B1A4,
Sandeul, dan aktor veteran, Choi Min Soo. The
most charismatic man, Choi Min Soo,
meets the youngest contestant of the show,
Sandeul. Surprisingly, the
unconventional duo of two generations marvelously brought an impressive deep
blues rendition of “Woman in the Rain”. They
showed the novel harmony of 22 years old innocent boy and 52 years old autumn
man. The performance was Min Soo’s
style, and everyone was impressed
that Sandeul could pull it off.

Dirilis pertama kali pada tahun
1963, “Woman in the Rain” adalah lagu debut Shin Jung Hyun. It’s the first Korean rock song, and was released when he organized the
first Korean rock band, Add4. It’s an experimental blues song that incorporated
both guitar and violin sounds. It’s
the song that’s the root of Korean rock. The lyrics talk about a guy who misses the woman he saw in the rain.
He couldn’t forget that girl somehow.
He couldn’t get rid of her image from his
mind no matter what. Everything about
her on that night still is lingering and won’t go away. There’s no need to talk about it out, there’s nothing more to say, he knew he fell in love right at the moment
when they walked together under the rain in silence.
I personally love the Choi Min Soo and Sandeul’s remake version very
much. They gave an unexpected and
surprising ending in their performance. Moreover,
the new arrangement was so great. Sandeul exuded different air on that
performance, and for the first time I
saw him as a mature gentleman, not an
innocent boy anymore. I was so in
love with his ad-libs in that performance. They mixed “Woman in the Rain” with another song called “Alley”, but instead of ruining the song, the mixing was empowered the original song
itself. Overall, Choi Min Soo and Sandeul showed an amazing
collaboration, and they deserved the
high score that they got on that episode.
“With a warm smile, she held her
black umbrella for me. Watching the raindrops fall, without words, we walked in
silence.” –Shin Jung Hyun, Woman
in the Rain [translated lyrics]
“Idji mothal bitsokui

(I cannot forget that woman in the rain, I cannot forget her)

(The yellow raincoat, the dark eyes, I can’t forget them)
