girl, girl, hey u-go-girl

Lee Hyori is one of the hottest K-pop stars today. I first noticed her on TV in a couple Black Bean TheraTea (a bottled tea drink) and soju (Korean alcohol) commericals and didn’t find out until later that she’s a very famous singer. But, with her sexy image, she’s more known for her looks than her singing/dancing/acting talent.

This is her catchy first single “U-Go-Girl” off her third album, It’s HYORISH.

English lyrics:

“U-Go-Girl”
Lee Hyori

Hey girl!

Ya’ll know what this is!
Yeah! It’s the princess Lee Hyori
She’s back! Yeah! Two double-O eight!
Be ready! Hey girl!

Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl
(Say what?) What am I to wear today?
And how should I do my hair?
How’s this? How about that?
Don’t keep questioning yourself girl

What am I to say today?
How should I give my heart?
How’s this? How about that?
Don’t keep questioning yourself girl

Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl
(Girl) Be truthful from this moment on
(Girl) Be strong from this moment on
Show your heart right at this moment, right now, tonight
(Girl) Sometimes sweetly
(Girl) Sometimes confidently
Show your heart right at this moment, right now, tonight

Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl
(U-ah!) I wonder why you’re calling me again today
Is something wrong?
What should I do about this?
What should I do about that?
Don’t keep questioning yourself girl

Will that person like it too? If your heart boils down,
And you take out the small coin in your pocket,
Wondering if it’ll come out as heads or tails
Don’t keep questioning yourself girl

Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl
(Girl) Be truthful from this moment on
(Girl) Be strong from this moment on
Show your heart right at this moment, right now, tonight
(Girl) Sometimes sweetly
(Girl) Sometimes confidently
Show your heart right at this moment, right now, tonight

Crazy night! Dance all night!
Let me take you home tonight!
It’s all right! Hey girl, party tonight! (Party tonight)
Crazy night! Dance all night!
Let me take you home tonight!
It’s all right! Hey girl, party tonight! (Party tonight)

Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Da da da da da that girl
Girl, girl, hey u-go-girl
Baby, baby, baby, baby girl

I like that, that, that girl and let me see ya
Bring it back, back, back girl (Okay!)
I like that, that, that girl and let me see ya
Bring it back, back, back girl (One more time baby!)
I like that, that, that girl and let me see ya
Bring it back, back, back girl (Okay!)
I like that, that, that girl and let me see ya
Bring it back, back, back girl (Girl!)

a korean commerical: corn silk tea

Continuing the discussion of small faces, here’s a commercial to watch. Two women (one is Kim Tae Hee, a popular actress) compete with their tea bottles to see who has the smaller face. And I don’t mean to brag, but I would have beaten them both…

a korean commercial: etude house

Here’s one of my favourite Korean commercials on the air right now. It’s for Etude House cosmetics, and stars the handsome Jang Geun Seok and sweet Go Ah Ra, both popular actors. The cute dancing, the floating hearts, the funny facial expressions, the sparkles and glitter… it’s all great and definitely all Korean. It just makes me happy every time I see it.

on returning

You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old?' The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the "same old thing". What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river. ~ Steven Foster, The Book of the Vision Quest
