BoA’s “Meri Kuri” [MV]
My interest for Korean entertainment started kinda late, it’s started this summer!
And no! I didn’t started with singer Rain, or Full House? It was some good movies that made my mouth fell off the jaw!! So I have a lot to catch up with, which is fun!
2 days ago when I came across this video my heart rate went down! And I experienced my first cultural shock! I would like to share my ignorance with you.
Here is what I kept telling myself!
-Look at that bang! pfffff
-That coat? (People’ve been commenting if she was pregnant!!!!)
-She walks on the water?? Oooh BoA the Jesus!!!
-What’s that title? Does it has to do anything with Marie Curie, you know the scientist!
I swear this is exactly what I though!!!
Nevertheless it is a good song, just like most of Boa’s jpops!
but she used to sound much much better! dontya agree?
Well it turned out “Meri Kuri” is BoA’s 14th Japanese solo single. She has total of 21 singles. The title is a short form of Merry Christmas, “メリクリ” (Meri Kuri) INTERESTING!!!
One more addition to my terminology! And awkward enough the lyrics doesn’t match the concept !!!!
Well actually not for me!
Well, let’s see how we can match things up:
love for the loved one + church + cross + walking on the water + snow + cold + Xmass + night + water …etc well to me this road ends to just one way!!!
actress Jung Da-Bin (27) suicide in the bathroom!
- She hanged herself at night!
- With a white towel in the bathroom!
- In her boyfirends’ house!
(Is this the Bf? I’d like to think so)
- In her last diary she wrote about how Jesus saved her and she though she was all ok?!
The last note that she left on her Cyworld:
Translation:
I thought I was going to die because it was so frustrating.
I kept getting mad with no reason..and it was driving me crazy.
I was so tired..as if I would always get naseous..
My head hurt so much, I cried.
I almost became a slave to bad-temper and moodiness.
Laughing, then crying..it was enough to drive me crazy.
I finally began to think that I was losing myself..
And I began to lose touch.
Suddenly, like being electrocuted..Suddenly, I became peaceful.
The lord came.
He gives me strength, he strengthens my foolish self..
He teaches me strength, and makes me realize things that are close to me.
He raises me up when I was about to give up..
And he tells me that it’s now alright.
I’m alright.

She obviously was not all right, and instead of Jesus that towel came!
Religion can be a scary thing when is misleaded *scatching head*
Her cyworld is down right now, but Newsen captured some of the
messages she left on her cyworld. Translation is in the comment section!
People this is really getting scary!!! It’s not even a month from U-Nee’s death! she too commit suicide! Seems like they are giving other colleagues a hint of how-getting-away-from-your-temporary-pressure! They really made us go like “whose next!!”
I hope the industry does something about this, before we see ourselves opening up a category for all the lost ones!!
In case you still wanna think about boA here is Meri Kuri-Enlish lyrics
Yo mama?!
Don’t go and commit suicide, girl…
