: 내가 누구인지 우리는 누구인지 - 커밍아웃과 정체성
- 피스맨(feat. 마을어린이합창단)
PeaceMan (feat. Children’s Choir)
When I was a kid, I didn’t want to play soccer
So, I drew globe on the soccer ball/ On the black and white world,
I colored rainbow
When I was a kid, I didn’t want to get involved with fights
So, I decided to be a referee
Rules are my own, but fair Let’s play paper, rock, and scissors.
When I was a kid, I was a little bit of a weirdo.
I sang all the time, oh, peace Korea!
Now, I am a peaceman x4
When I was a kid, I did not want to draw line on my desk.
So, I nagged to sit with a boy
That boy with whom I shared united desk was the friend I had crush on.
When I was a kid, I didn’t want to be alone,
So, I held hands with my friend
Others scolded me, but I smiled inside
Though I won’t finish first, we are together
When I was a kid, I was a little bit of a weirdo.
I sang all the time, oh, peace Korea!
Now, I am a peaceman x4
Together, we are all peacemen x4
2. 오빠의 결혼식
Brother's wedding
Who owns my clothes? Who owns my body?
In a week, it’s my older brother’s wedding, But I have nothing to wear to the ceremony
Mom left a pair of men’s dress shoes and a suit, But these clothes aren’t mine any more
On my older brother’s wedding day, I don’t want to show a lie I don’t want to resent Mom in a suffocating suit
It’d be better to stay home in a pink dress instead, Feeling bad but looking myself, Honest
Believe me, I really want to congratulate you, honest to God
My elderly landlady says,
“Who are you, miss?”
Says the room was rented to a guy
I’m so surprised that I’m speechless,
But I barely escape the crisis with excuses
The person who used to live here is my “older brother”
And the person who lives here now is his “younger sister,” I explain
When I have to show my ID card, it’ll probably be his “younger cousin” Whose house is this,with everything becoming more tangled up?
There may be a mile between “1” and “2,”* But I’m still myself, the same old me
Can’t explain with my ID card Who I am, who I am
Just as I know who you are, You can get to know who I am; I’m myself
(*Korea’s ID number system use code “1” is for male and “2” is for female)
3. 벽장문을 열어
Open the Closet
I thought I was alone in the closet.
I felt despair in the darkness.
But when I opened the door with the courage.
When I grabbed his hand and walked out.
I realized. Now I am not alone.
I realized that despair was over.
Now is the time to stand up.
To make an equal world.
I felt lonely in their prejudices.
I felt despair in their discrimination.
But when I opened the door with the courage.
When I hold my friends' hands and stand up again.
I realized. Now I am not alone.
I realized that despair was over.
It's the time to sing a song of hope to enjoy the happiness, because we are different.
4. 고백
Confession
How should I say it? In the morning? In the evening? In a letter?
During a meal? In a loud voice?
With tears? Only in my heart?
Would it be selfish? Would it be hurtful?
What if I regret it? I'm worn out hesitating
It's so lonely living with love buried in my heart Wish it were visible, like your eyes, nose, mouth
You can say it here, you can say it with a smile You can say it frankly, no need to be sheepish
Even if you're let down, even if you can't say it all, Don't give up hope, the world can change
Love can win

5. 워크샵 메들리 (2017 Live)
Workshop medley (2017 Live)
In the corner of my home, there's a pile of overdue laundry.
In the corner of my home, there's a strong smell of black mold.
I put on makeup, wear my contact lenses, and head to Jongno Street.
I'm ready and prepared. I turn on Ivan City.
Craving for a drink, craving for people, I go to a place called "Motel Lightning."
Entering the suite room, I'm greeted by eighteen gay.
Newbie benefits disappear in just five minutes, leaving only the alcohol behind.
Gay people who engage in human rights movements are unpopular.
I should go G-voice practice tomorrow.
Once again, today, you text me “No chubby”.
I respond “No skeleton”.
We've changed so much, us, us.
Where did we in struggle? Hmm
Once again, today, you text me “No chubby”.
I respond “No skeleton”.
.
On Sunday afternoons, we gather and sing towards the world.
Our appetites may differ, but our hearts are the same as we sing with passion.
No matter how much we sing, we don't become famous, but for now, goodbye.
6. 사실 난 노래를 잘하는데
Actually, I'm really good at singing
Actually, I'm really good at singing.
No one noticed, that's all.
The conductor's fingertips were so beautiful, I lost myself.
I stared blankly, and in one breath, I skipped a beat.
Suddenly, a line of lyrics felt like my own story.
I swallowed my tears and drank my runny nose, missing the pitch.
Because of the melody that suddenly hooked onto my heart,
My chest swelled up, unable to sing.
Your trembling voice was so sad, I tried to comfort you by raising my voice, but it went off-key.
Actually, I'm really good at singing,
No one listened, that's all.
Someday, my voice will reach to the ends of the world.
Today and tomorrow, I'll sing firmly with my rough voice.
The wounds inside me are so deep,
I was too weak to follow the heavenly harmony.
(Sigh) On the wet grass above my friend's grave,
I'm not cold-hearted enough to boast fancy skills.
Actually, you're good at singing too,
If you're struggling as much as I am.
Don't worry about hoarseness, just gather as much courage as I did.
Unfold the sheet music, it's okay to cry. Let's make mistakes together.
Unfold the sheet music, it's okay to cry. Let's sing together.
Actually, I'm really good at singing. (x2)
7. 립싱크 가수
Lipsync singer
I joined the bass.
Melodies have nothing to do with us.
Even with great songs, dumdumdumdum, unsure if I’m a human or an instrument. No lyrics, like, dumdumdumdum, the notes are so low I’ll throw up.
The tenor isn’t easy.
We’re told every day you’re out of breath, then don’t breathe. Know that you die if you don’t breathe.
Wanna try Aaaaah- Will insurance cover it if you die singing?
I joined the baritone, I joined the baritone, I joined the baritone Know what we have the baritone, too.?
They don’t know we’re here, sharps and flats.
No matter how we try, we’re the heroes of dissonance.
Can’t join elsewhere,either.
Becuase we’re infamous for bad singing.
Thought I might at least date, but everyone else’s hooking up except me. To me, love is lip synching love, too.
The years spent razzing the chorus- it’s tiring but addicting. Folks who listen to us sing are amazing.
How leisurely and idle, they are listening to this
Join us we love you
We’re rainbow-colored, we’ll go on even if we are annoying. Everything precious is here, listen to our songs anytime. Tell us your stories,too. some time.
Folks who listen to us sing are amazing.
How patient and understanding, they are folks who know art,
8. 코러스 보이
Chorus boy
Remember?
The move we saw 10 years ago, The sad movie, “Happy Together” You wanted to make a movie like It
I couldn’t bring myself to say /I want to love like them
The excitement of our 20’s
We were happy when crying, our youthful days
On the side street leaving behind my hungry dream Apologizing with weary voice about the bar exam Our dream tangled like complicated wire.
Did you see the moonlight shining over the street?
Would you come to our concert, today? Songs trapped for 10 years
My hear shaking under glaring light Coming-out just for you
Gay chorus that awoke me up
Tonight is the night that I start telling my untold story
At the street drinking bar, venting our weary dreams
Your pinched shoulders after quitting job
Our old dream that blossomed once
Did you know, by any chance, that your eyes sparkled, then?
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs The world we shouted out hasn’t come.
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs Small fragments of our courage united to make proud harmony
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs, The movie we wanted to make is still incomplete
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs, Our love is greater than any love as it is
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs It is yet to let go of each other’s hands.
Whatever, my friend, listen to my songs, It’s only been 10 years, we have to start again.

10. 이십 년 후 (TITLE)
Twenty years later
Unable to receive solace from anyone, it became a song lingering in my mouth, wondering when I could sing it. In the long, sleepless nights, the song provided more comfort than alcohol or medicine. Regardless of the day, be it a day that has passed for twenty years or a day when everything has disappeared, the song still circles in my mouth, eventually being swallowed. Song, song, song.
Song, song, song.
On the day I turned away from everyone's name, even though I pretended not to notice the faint voice lingering in my ear, I longed for it. I sang the song as much as I missed it. On the days I stumbled and fell, the song became a pillar of support more than alcohol or medicine. Even on days when I feel unfamiliar, even as a memory that remains fragrant with your voice. Song, song, song.
Song, song, song.
Even after twenty years and beyond, even on days that have yet to come and days that will be forgotten, the heartfelt emotions that yearned so desperately will be solely remembered through the song. Song, song, song.
Song, song, song.

11. 쉽지 않아
It’s not easy
Selling 2000 won bread at the dept. store standing all day, my calves growing thick Putting bread into a lady’s handbag Think of a successful friend get all choked up
Betrayed again by bread that didn’t come out right want to vent and say how I feel
But I just try to explain in a shrimp-like voice
I rub my head to see if the stress is making me bald
It’s not easy not for anyone / not for me
So I feel tired / Hair loss isn’t contagious But depression is / it’s chronic
There’s a guy I envy who’s always talking about his relationships
Finally I write him an e-mail
And dare to come out but a month later / the e-mail still hasn’t been read
Smoking in the restroom / with the lights turned off
I try to ease my mind
But outside I step on dog poop / I tear up
I rub my head to see / if the stress is making me bald
It’s not easy not for anyone / not for me
So I feel tired / Hair loss isn’t contagious But depression is / it’s chronic
Is this the way life is supposed to be? I touch myself so I can get to sleep
12. 교정의 추억 (2017 Live)
Memories of school
On the campus with grass scent, /There was a teacher with dazzling eyes
I blush waiting for the chorus class
I only looked at leaves outside /the window while singing.
My voice was buried / by the loud chirp of cicada.
My violet passion disappeared with green days.
Spicy smokes fill the classroom. / The sight of my teacher’s back,
leaving behind us and /my letter neatly folded
that I couldn’t give him still ache me
My confession spinning around my lips
Now, it’s the remnant of old memories.
My voice was buried /by the loud chirp of cicada.
My violet passion disappeared with green days.
On the street covered / with drinking vendors,
distant sound of his deep voice is heard / Once again,
his voice resembling old memories / makes my heart beat
Now is the time to start / cautious love
Once again, singing a song /My love song
13. 사랑은 하루도 사랑
Love is love if only for a day
Love is love if only for a day, makes my heart beat again Maybe this man really is my destiny
But past love, actually someone missed,
It was short but good, too, someone who'll be forgotten one day
Oh! That young guy at the random drinking party (× 2) who saw me home, too (× 2) Oh! That man from last night (× 2) who kept hitting on me, too, but...
Love is love if only for a day; even if you erase it, the scar remains I sing out loud once, and my love, it's good-bye now
Love is love if only for a day, makes my heart beat again Maybe this man really is my destiny
But past love, even if the heart has left,
It was short but good, too, someone who'll be forgotten one day
Oh! Am I a fool? (× 2) Oh! Did I do wrong? (× 2)
Oh! Why did he act like that? (× 2) Did he like it, too? But...
Love is love if only for a day; even if you erase it, the scar remains I sing out loud once, and my love, good-bye now
My love, good-bye now, my love, really good-bye
My love, still good-bye, my love, once more /Mmm-
14. 이젠 됐어
It's over now
A conversation with a long-lost classmate. "Are you still living like that?" Their scanning gaze from top to bottom is displeasing. "Yeah, just like back then, their eyes weren't good either." I tried to delete their contact information, but their family photo on their profile catches my eye. In my profile, there's only a chubby cat. Somehow, I feel like a second-class citizen, feeling awkward. It's over now, I'm really over it now, it's okay. I don't need to show off my family anymore; when the day comes, we'll all be a family in this world. Yeah, when that day comes, it'll be fine.
On a day when I want to watch an elegant movie, they suggest going to a pork belly restaurant. I worry about my cholesterol at this age, but I say, "Yeah, let's just eat and forget about the fine dust." On a weekend night when I want romance, they said they would come early today, but it was a familiar tone in my ears. The same words I heard last weekend, I fell for it again. It's over now, I'm really over it now, it's okay. They'll come back when the sun rises; when the day breaks, we'll all be a family in this world. Yeah, when that happens, it'll be fine.
A gathering at a friend's place who recently broke up. I brought a gift with me. But the moment I saw my friend's new partner, oh my, do I know this person? They used to be my ex, has their personality changed too? It's over now, I'm really over it now, it's okay. It's not a rare occurrence. If I keep turning around, we'll all live like a family (It's okay, even if they call me to a happy place).
15. 엄마 아빠가 변했어요
Mom and Dad have changed
Seeing me wordlessly go out every Sunday afternoon,
Mom would click her tongue, "What do you do with those odd friends of yours?" What's so odd that I like to sing, just like you, Mom?
No reason to wonder that gay men sing in chorus, too
Nagging me every day to bring a girlfriend, my dad Somehow became awkward with me after I came out Not resembling me, my dad looks young and handsome He's super-popular among my gay friends
Mom and Dad came to watch the performance
Seeing me happy while singing on stage, they enjoyed it
That kind of mom and dad came to watch the performance
Seeing me happy while singing on stage, they were touched
The next day after the performance, secretly leaving a review on the bulletin board
They liked that their son was getting along with good and pretty friends
Mom has changed, Dad has changed, even our @@ has changed (×repeat)
Now it's your turn to change!
16. 브라보마이라이프
Bravo My Life
I am now trying to leave, I can no longer endure this world.
Don't try to understand me, I have no intention of forgiving this world either.
(Narration: As I wrote my diary every night, resembling a farewell letter, I was getting exhausted.)
The times that tried to abandon me have now become the strength to live another day.
The deepening gaze in my eyes is a trace of my past life, a gift of my life.
Though the unhealed wounds still remain in my hardened heart, time, flow away, oh time, flow away, because the world is still a lonely place for me.
The days when I cried in pain for love, comforting you and envying your love and worries, it's better to be happy, even if it means my love for you, the love I can't express, remains buried in my heart as a sin. That's why I lowered my head.
The times that tried to abandon me have now become the strength to live another day.
The deepening gaze in my eyes is a trace of my past life, a gift of my life.
Though the unhealed wounds still remain in my hardened heart, time, flow away, oh time, flow away, because the world is still a lonely place for me.
Wind, blow. Sun, burn. Love, weep. Youth, sing.
Shine in the darkness. Smile amidst trials. Stay in this world. Tomorrow, I will be bravo, bravo, my life. Bravo, bravo, my life.
17. 종로의 기적
Miracle of Jongno
It’s been 10 years, since I came into scene
There have been dozens of men whom I made a pass (or was it hundreds?)
But, this feeling is the first in years
Really, it’s been a while since I felt like this (It’s not like you!)
Many men I could sleep with, but you, the only one I wanna hold hands with (Stop pretending!)
Many men I could drink with, but you, the only one
I wanna sing with
Tonight, I will confess my love for you
I will ask you to hold my hands and be together
At first, frustrated with your innocence
But you are now in my eyes, it’s the miracle of Jongno We are the miracle of Jongno (or scandal?)
I wandered around Jongno 3-ga station for a while
I met you at a place I went in with horror and excitement (Disappointed?)
I put up courage and start talking to you
You looked the other way, but finally we held hands (Stop pretending to be so innocent)
Many men I could sleep with, but you, the only one I wanna
hold hands with (Stop pretending!)
Many men I could drink with, but you, the only one I wanna sing with
Tonight, I will confess my love for you
I will ask you to hold my hands and be together
At first, fed up with your flames But you are now in my heart, it’s the miracle of Jongno
We are the miracle of Jongno, the miracle of Jongno, Amazing miracle of Jongno

18. 길고양이의 노래
Song of the street Cat
I am a speckled cat,
used to live in a white palace
I used to catch mice under the cross,
but got kicked out after beat up with a stick here are stars shining higher
than the cross on the sky,
there are too many people to love
When they teach hatred,
we will sing of love
When they applaud animosity, we will sing of love
I saw it one cold winter day,
it was more beautiful than any prayers We shared the sky
that not everyone can have
while licking each other’s wound
There are more miracles than in the palace, all outsiders stand heart to heart
When they teach hatred, we will sing of love When they applaud animosity, we will sing of love When they teach hatred, we will sing of love
19. 길녀의 추억 (2017 hih Live)
Memory of Cruising
Take my hand and follow me onto this beautiful street
The street of October
If you’re afraid listen to my story, The legendary memories of a cruiser
Didn’t I tell you? Just take my hand and follow
The cruiser’s motto is to live from street to street
The street where I arrived /From the bathroom to the plaza
Eyes grow big and my behind Starts to shake
As you cheer people follow
In your heart Two mallets start to strike
Bam bam the mallets strike down / Striking out my destiny
Lift your right foot / Look up at the sky
Islands of rainbows are float in the air
Lift your left foot / spread your arms
There’s no world / That your heart can’t contain
When you feel the groove roll your feet / move your waist
If it’s awkward who cares? The next wave of cruisers / we take over the street (x2)
Make something happen The next wave of cruisers
we offer up the street / We offer up the street
20. 무지개 타고 동네 한 바퀴
Riding the rainbow, we go around stroll
After a passing shower, on a lonely afternoon,
Perhaps a rainbow will appear in the sky.
Come here, my doggy, let's take a neighborhood stroll.
If we encounter a rainbow, our mood will surely improve.
Step out of the alley, cross the main road,
Between the buildings, along the Han River.
No matter how much we walk, we cannot find it.
We turn our tired footsteps back home.
You, that I run into.
Your face is familiar, but we're strangers.
It's awkward; I try to pass by without any words,
But I stop when I see the rainbow in your eyes.
Following the rainbow, we stroll around the neighborhood.
Riding the rainbow, we go around another stroll.
From the restaurant owner, as well as the brother from church,
the teacher, and friends who sing or listen to songs, it’s their eyes.
In the end, there are so many rainbows.
Even if we can't see the rainbow in the sky,
I'm no longer sad.
In our neighborhood, I can see it everyday:
Everyone's sparkling rainbow.
Following the rainbow, we stroll around the neighborhood.
Riding the rainbow, we go around another stroll.
21. 게이데이 (TITLE)
Gay Day
On my way home at night, on the subway / I fall asleep memorizing vocabulary.
I want to call him, but try to be patient /because I will see him after I pass the exam Ah, ah, ah, this is my life. /Am I really gay? Am I?
Through the window, /I see more streetlights than stars along the river. They become colorful rotary lamp, and take me away.
They take me away to the gay place.
Gay day starts here /We walk with tambourine and castanet We walk over those straight ways to our way
Get-together with colleagues lasts until night,/ I end up smoking that I once tried to quit Next year, maybe I will get my own place and save up some money
Venting my wrinkled worries of my thirty year old life
Ah, ah, ah, this is my life./Am I really gay? Am I?
On the ceiling, there are fluorescent lamp brighter than moon They become colorful rotary lamp, and take me away.
They take me away to the gay place
Gay day starts here / We walk with tambourine and castanet We walk over those straight ways to our way

We will change the world, we are the gay who will change the world
22. 셧업
Shut up
At the queer parade several years ago, I met her for the first time. Short butch hair cut, stern posture,
she sang with husky voice
Shut up shut up Shut up shut up
Out of tune, out of rhythm
At a seminar last fall, I met a famous professor.
Gentle eyes, decent outfit he spoke with certain voice
You will have to wear diapers because you have been fisting too much
Oh, my gosh, decent gentleman just came out as an addict to gore porn, addiction to gore porn Maybe he does it himself?
An elderly I saw on TV White hair like Gandalf
transparent skin he speaks with shaking voice
Um, um, Um, I'm ex-gay, miracle of transformation, spread the word Um, I'm ex-gay, miracle of transformation,
Transform, cure
Shut up x 4 / Cure x 3 /Miracle x 4
la la la~
Look at yourself in the mirror, Ugly face distorted with hatred Look in the mirror
23. UP

Up! Though love is running away / Up! Though heart breaks
Up! Be strong, and stand up and start over / Up! Though the world is upside down Up! Though the dark clouds are approaching

25. 이어라 (2022 Live)
Carry on
Carry on, Carry on your dream, Carry on the dream you had together
Gather, gather our strength, we made together, gather our strength
Don't sit flop, don't hide and cry, get up and go forward
Now we gather our dreams and we, go on, go on, go on, go on
One day, my heart is pounding,
When the wind flutters in every hand you hold,
Finally, the dream bursts out and becomes a shining picture,
The breath that was blocked will make life
The dreams left by my friends who left me
Suddenly, it rises like a fire
Carry on, now, Carry on the dream,
We'll carry on, we'll carry on the dream
Carry on the dream

26. 환절기
Transitional season
Under the hazy cigarette smoke / Silence whisper Among crossing glitters of eyes wineglasses dance
Seasons worn out, struggles of sorrow
Deeply ingrained fake layer that one wants to cast off Give me new wine Give me new wine
Pour your injured scent
Will it end if season changes?
Ab, life is like change of seasons
Don't cry, don't cry /Let's cry once again Hearts with scar, shoulders bruised
Let's pour them in one wineglass
Let's go, go to the hill
To the hill with wind of flowers
To be fragrant with your sorrow Let's put up the flower on your chest
Give me new wine / Give me new wine Pour your injured scent
And it is like that once again
Ah, life is like change of seasons
27. 노각을 무치며
Seasoning the cucumber
Tangled wrinkles on a rough face
A thick scent and heavy body
are traces of the harsh years
A leaving friend, left it behind like a gift
Lying on top of the sink was an old cucumber
It's been on my mind
Seasoning the cucmber, Memories start flowing
Leave me alone young times, Just look at my days
Seasoning the cucumber, Memories start flowing
Don't you be sad my heart, the love's still there
In the faded skin, there still is the crunchy flesh
The many seeds as much as its heavy weight
are the mark of the endured past
Doesn't even need seasoning
Just a lilttle effort and usual touch
will do
Seasoning the cucumber, Memories start flowing
Shines brighter than anyone, My beautiful dignity
Seasoning the cucumber, Memories start flowing
Don't you be sad my heart, the love's still there
Carving the pumpkin, Memories start flowing
Don't you be sad my heart, the love's still there
it still is, the love's still there
28. 아름다운 사람들
Beautiful people
I’ll give you an empty place by my side so you won’t be lonely I’ll warm my lips so you won’t be nervous
No need to apologize, just don’t give in on purpose
At times, I’ll be sulky, too; comfort me Sing me a song
Tell me if you fall; I’ll fall after you, too
In return, get up first and raise me up
On days you want to cry, I’ll cry with you, too
In return, I hope you’ll make me laugh a lot so our tears will dry up
People who don’t hurry, living like the flowing water, Whose present is the fairest
When we have to fight, I’ll stand at the forefront
In return, I hope you won’t run away; let’s stand together
Tell me if you want to rest; I’ll play with you
In return, you have to forget hardship, you have to get drunk on love
People who don’t hurry, living like the flowing water,
Whose present is the fairest, People who are beautiful because we’re together
29. 북아현동 가는 길
The road to North Ahyeon-dong
The road to North Ahyeon-dong The view never changes
Pass the slippery-looking overpass
The dark-lit bridge and the catholic church
I let out a tired laugh for Having lived another day The road home was always bleak But it’s the one I see in my dreams
Where a song wrote itself only I mattered
We have so much left to say
Tell me you won’t disappear
Stepping along this road My love my pride
Go to the North Ahyeon-dong
My poor neighborhood
My ugly shoulder grew a bit On this side street Where a song wrote itself only I mattered
We have so much left to say
Tell me you won’t disappear
Stepping along this road My love my pride
One summer night a little bird flew in
we sang As one
Suddenly awaking the bird was nowhere to be seen only the cold winter night / The sound of wings
Your voice no longer heard
I must sing Raise my voice for myself To survive in this world
That makes me weary
My love my pride My pride
30. 세상아 너의 죄를 사하노니
World I forgive your sins
In the woods at night with the insects chirping
A ladybug dozes above me
I shed off The skin of yesterday like a fallen leaf sit on the sand
The night slips into me As I try to sleep With my wings folded I try to sleep
If only we could be together The love I confessed turns into hate If only I could laugh at the world as it stands before me
World I forgive your sins For there is love and more love
When all others look at large trees,
I look at wild plants blooming and withering namelessly. Hanging my heavy mask outside the village entrance,
Under the trees swaying like waves,
I danced and swayed that night /Dancing on my light bare feet
If only we could be together The worry pent up to my throat comes flying out If only I could cluck my tongue laugh at the sky As it stands before me
World Praise my beauty For there is love and more love
