Yobi was featured on a paparazzi program on tvN ENWS called, “Really”. The program was aired yesterday. Fans shared that Yobi looks stylish and they enjoyed seeing her in “real life”. She went to amusement park, having meals by the street and it seems that her house was featured for the first time to the public. If we are lucky to get a glimpse of this that would be awesome. Will try to scout for the vid….if there is.

There have been many articles that interviewed her on her new album. As the articles compared her new music to her past albums. In this article, she shared about her desire to produce a new music which is away from the ballads. It seems she also mentioned about the the change in her vocal techniques and ability which were  affected after her vocal cord surgery.

It is a rather long article and the content seems interesting but my apology due to my very limited understanding of the language I am only able to share the gist of this article.

Her performance…
I was reserving my thoughts on her yesterday’s performance because I feel that it lacks Hwayobi’s lustre and charm. Today, I am still not charm by it, something amiss. Although, I greatly missed her singing/ performances but I was not drawn to be immersed in watching or re-watching her comeback performances.  I salute her for her effort to do subtle dance moves for this song. But it somehow appears like half- hearted movements. If  this is the route and genre of music that she is moving towards, she needs to be “more fierce” in her performance. She is always known for portraying much emotions in her singings/ performances…and we are always mesmerized by it. Please do… Bring it on Yobi ssi !! Since you are back to show your very best after 10 years as an artiste. I have yet to see what is it that you want to show. We trust you Yobi ssi ^^!

Her style…
On her image/ style, I have mixed feelings about it. I love her pictorials for her album concept, from the make- up to the wavy long hair. It makes her look sultrily sexy, perfect for a diva. But her styles for her comeback performances, from her make- up to her hair…& her outfit, doesn’t justify her gorgeousness. Although,  I am lovin’ the super mini-ness of the dress. A must this season ^^.  She is a diva, we want to see the diva in her.

Sorry if…
My apology if my blabbering here may offend any fans. But to those who have been visiting this site, you would have known by now that I adore and respect this lady, Hwayobi for her talents and the unique being that she is. Somehow as her fan, it saddens me when she is not showcasing her very best or she doesn’t look her very best. As we want others to respect her for her gifted talents and presence. As we know that she is the best & can be the very best. Loving an artiste doesn’t mean we blindly nod to whatever they are doing rite ^^ ?

A hit or a miss…?
On a good note,  I am happy to see new surge of fans who have been  showing much love to Yobi for her comeback. She has nailed it with new fans with her “Bye Bye Bye”…..& “Booty Call” & “Baby Gone..Baby Gone” seems to be hot favourites in this album too. “Bye Bye Bye” has been climbing up the online music chart surpassing some big names that are making their comeback on the same day. It has been steadily climbing up to top 5/10. Awesome !!! So it is indeed a HIT !

Lynn and Gummy, Yobi’s other good friends were at Music Bank and there was a short part of them together at the dressing room.

*may contain inaccuracies

어떻게 만난 내 사랑인데 너만 쉽게 가져가
How could you easily take away my love
어떻게 만든 내 추억인데 니가 뭔데 가져가
How could you take away the all the memories
사랑니가 무너질 듯 힘껏 니 앞에 서 있지만
The love that you gave up stands strongly before you
사실은 나 쓰러질 거 같아 힘없이 널 붙잡아
The truth is I am crumbling down and I have no strength to grab onto you
떠나지마 나를 제발 떠나지마 나를
Don’t leave me, Please don’t leave me
이렇게 이렇게 자꾸자꾸 눈물만 흘러
Like this, like this, again and again only tears flows

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Why why why why why

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Bye bye bye good bye

헤어지면 모든 끝이란 말 그런 말 안 할거야
I won’t say all the end talks when we seperate
기다리면 결국 올 거라고 그렇게 믿을 거야
I believed that if you wait things will finally come
너 없이도 잘 지낼 거란 말 그런 말 안 할거야
I won’t say things like I would get along fine without you
하루하루 점점 불안해져 정말 날 잊을까 봐
Looks like I forgot the nervousness more and more each day
사랑하고 있어 아직 사랑하고 있어
I am loving and I am still loving
기다려 내 맘은 자꾸자꾸 커져만 가고
wait for my heart is going to be more and more larger

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Why why why why why

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Bye bye bye good bye

울고 있다가 몇 번을 참고 참아도
How many times must I endure while crying
머릿속엔 따뜻한 니 목소리만
only your warm voice is in my head
니가 없다고 한번도 생각 못해서
I cannot even think for once without you
어떻게 너 없이 내가
How could I don’t have you

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Why why why why why

I’m in love with you forever
I’m in love with you forever
Bye bye bye good bye

"Bye Bye Bye"…the True Hwayobi.

Amidst inflood of comeback of idol groups and new artistes debuting, Hwayobi’s new single is doing well for her first day online sales (see below). There seems to be a new stream of fans who are hooked with Yobi’s R&B catchy tunes. Although, I was anticipating her return with mid- temp songs, but I realized that I was not ready for her full album to be fully filled with  such songs. After listening to the full album, these words kept ringing in my head, “Why Why Why” *just like the chorus in “Bye Bye Bye”. There”s a tinge of disappointment realizing that she has really transformed her music leaving behind her soulful R&B ballad presence for this album. I guessed I missed listening to her belting out her lushest voice.

For an artiste of her calibre, her vocal prowess is beyond what this album has to offer. My take on this album, she can do better. Way better. Her God- given talents and capabilities are way beyond what Kpop ent. has to offer now. I was anticipating for a SPECIAL album when it was mentioned that this album will showcase the  “TRUE HWAYOBI”. To me or  maybe other fans, we remember “TRUE HWAYOBI” as an artiste who awe us with her vocal, with her lushest smoothest and richest vocal that penetrates our soul. That’s the “TRUE HWAYOBI” that I missed. I guessed, I’ve yet to know the “TRUE HWAYOBI. There’s still lots to learn about our dear lady. However, as her fan I am proud that she is dedicated and passionate in producing this album with her own creations. I am still in awe of her vocal flexibility that varies from one song to another without losing the essence of her rich vocal. I still believe that she has lots more to offer. What’s next Yobi ssi ?  We’ll still be waiting. I hope our patience will prevail. Fighting !

Congrats Yobi ssi…”Bye Bye Bye” is scaling high
