Some time ago, Jay Chou, who was ridiculed by South Korean netizens as only a work of "The Secret That Cannot Be Said", has set off a wave of topics in South Korea in a different form in the past two days.
His "Coral Sea", which he sang with Leung Shin-yi 15 years ago, was covered by South Korean singers Chung Soon-won and Cho Hye-sin in the variety show "See Your Voice". Once broadcast, Zheng Chunyuan, Cho Huixian and "Coral Sea" strongly won the top four hot searches in South Korea.
"Coral Sea" is on fire in South Korea, but no audience member knows that the song is from Jay Chou, and even the MC in the show has repeatedly emphasized that it is a new song.
It is worth mentioning that the other songs sung in the show are marked with the original singer, but when it is the turn of "Coral Sea", the subtitles only introduce the song title and singer.
During the song singing, the subtitles of the program showed Zhao Huixian's personal introduction: "I am zhao Huixian, an actor and singer who developed in China, starred in more than 20 TV series and movies in China, and won the championship in the sound source ranking, I hope that in the future in South Korea, I can also let everyone know my singing voice, please enjoy the new song "Coral Sea" sung by my predecessors in The One."
Zheng Chunyuan and Zhao Huixian did not introduce any information about the original author in the program after singing the song. After the news was transmitted back to China, it caused a huge controversy on the Internet, implying that it was to "take it for yourself".
Afterwards, singer Zhao Huixian told the whole process of cover singing through Weibo, saying that the Korean version of the song was authorized by Jay Chou, and Xiao Fan was also encouraged by Jay Chou. However, in the face of netizens not labeling the original song of the program group, Zhao Huixian did not respond.
So far, most netizens in South Korea do not know that "Coral Sea" is the work of Jay Chou.
However, the original version is the original version after all, whether it is the meaning of the singing expression or the lyrics, it has thrown off the Korean version a few streets. The following is a comparison between some of the lyrics of the Korean version and the lyrics of the Chinese version, so you can feel it for yourself.
Korean version: Like in the dream, you are by my side, thinking of you and even shedding tears, I need you so much. Whether our relationship has become a habit, it seems to go back to that troubled night, your smile, the gentle look in your eyes, that smile is exactly what I need, really miss you.
Chinese version: raging tide, you understand, not a wave but a sea of tears, turn around and leave to break up, seabirds and fish love is just an accident, our love difference has always existed, the dust in the wind has accumulated into harm, turn away Break up can not say, the blue coral sea missed the moment pale, when each other was not mature enough to confess, enthusiasm no longer smile barely came, love buried deep in the coral sea
The mood of the lyrics can be said to be crushing.
Remember some time ago, Hgr learned that Jay Chou complained about too many Korean variety shows on Netflix, launched a wave of crazy attacks on the network, and said that taunting JayLen had no other works except "The Secret That Cannot Be Said". I don't know how Hgr will feel when he knows that this song is from Jay Chou?
