All About 'When It Snows'

(Skip to end for lyrics)

Last year, Junsu began posting cryptic emojis with his IG uploads..

We found out why on Nov. 19th when he revealed the song 'When It Snows / 눈이 오는 날에는' with the final emoji ♥ #king_of_hearts

from Official Youtube

Junsu wanted this song to be a surprise gift on the first day of snow. "The day filled with memories is soon upon us. I have many memories with you, the snow and winter on the last days of the year. In honor of those memories, I wanted to give this song to you as a present."

From the Cgram

"Hi everyone. I don't know if you've all listened to 'When It Snows.' I'm sure it caught you by surprise. The song is my most recent release aside from OSTs. I wanted this song to keep you warm through the winter. I'm also planning on singing it at the year-end concerts on the 28th and 29th. Hope you guys give it lots of listens in the meantime. I'll be back with more music, content and performances."

"I still remember the first day it snowed in 2017 when I was in the military. I was in my quarters, lonely, looking out on the falling snow. I was thinking a lot about.. particularly about.. You know how everyone thinks they're the protagonist in their lives? This is true for everyone not just me, right? Most people do. I'm sorry but I did, too. I'm not a narcissist but I did. So I was trapped in my barracks - maybe "trapped" is not the best word.. wow, you guys laughed real hard at me just now - Anyways, I was in my barracks. Uh.. every time I went out on leave, it struck me how the world continues to go on. I feel so ashamed and so bad to admit this but I used to wish the world would just end when I die. You know what I mean, right? I didn't really wish it would happen.. I trust you guys won't skew what I'm trying to say when you upload this (audience laughs) You know what I was trying to say, right?

I really hit me that the world still goes on absolutely fine even when I'm not a part of it. I felt this for the first time in the military because until then I had always been part of the world. And this led me to realize.. that I really didn't amount to much. It was humbling. In a negative light, you could say my self-esteem dropped but this had other reasons, too. Anyways, I realized I'm just a speck of dust in the universe and I became thankful for all the small and trivial things in my life. I was in this mindset on that day it first snowed, looking out from the window of my barracks.. A million thoughts ran through my head but at their end was you guys and my concerts with you. I had always felt thankful performing for you but it really hit home just what a thankful thing it was.. so I wrote this song thinking about and missing you guys." (~3:05)

When It Snows

Lyrics & music by Junsu

We were always together

Days for just you and me

We were happy, laughing all the time

I thought it would last forever

But goodbye erased us too easily

It's an old story now but sometimes

when ice flowers lace the sky

On days when it snows like this

I miss you endlessly

I walk alone on streets that look

the same as they always did

When I miss you like crazy

I picture your face in the sky

Time has blurred the memories

but I live in them like a fool

I tried to forget, I really tried

as days without you went by

I kept on a smile after you left

'cause I don't want you to cry

But time plays by its own rules

My promise breaks itself in two

as I gaze outside the window pane

On days when it snows like this

I miss you endlessly

I walk alone on streets that look

the same as they always did

When I miss you like crazy

I picture your face in the sky

Time has blurred the memories

but I live in them like a fool

I didn't know back then

Why's it clear only after the end

Why can't I forget you, woo

Why are you the only one I see

when I walk alone on the streets

On days when it snows like this

I miss you so much

but I must stop at this

You were always with me

on days when it snowed

Are you walking alone

erasing streets without me

Will this slowly fading love

ever resuscitate

I still wait

on days when it snows like this

함께였었죠 항상 그랬죠 그대와 나만의 하루가

Hamkae yeossocho hangsang geulaecho geudaewa namanae haluga

행복 했었죠 매일 웃었죠 언제나 그럴 줄 알았죠

haengbok haesseocho maeil oosseocho eonjaena geuleoljool alacho

허나 이별이란 건 너무나 쉽게 우릴 지워버렸죠

heona eebyeol-eelangeon neomoo shweepgae ooleel jeeweocho

이젠 오래된 이야기지만 가끔씩 하얗게 꽃이피면

eejaen olaedwen eeyagijeeman gakkeumsheek hayakae kocheepeemyeon

이렇게 눈이 오는 날엔 한없이 그대 생각이 나는데

eeleokae noonee oneun nalaen geuda saengak-ee naneundae

함께 걷던 거린 아직 그대론데

hamkae geotteon geoleen geudaelo'ndae

왜 나는 혼자 걷고 있는지

wae naneun honja geotko eetneunjee

미치게 보고 싶은 날엔 하늘에 그대 얼굴을 그려봐

meecheegae bogosheepeun nalae'n haneulae geuda eolgool-eul geuleobwa

또렷하지 않게 기억이 흘러도 바보같이 추억에 살아

ttolyeot hajee anado geeyeok-ee heolleodo babogachi choo-eogae sala

잊으려 했죠 노력해 봤죠 그대 없는 나의 하루들

eejeulyeo haecho nolyeok hae bwacho geudae eopneun na-ae haloodeul

항상 웃었죠 떠난 그대도 미안한 마음 들지 않게

hangsang oosseocho geudaedo mee-anhan ma-eum deuljee an-kae

허나 시간이란건 때론 뜻대로 되진 않은것 같아

heona sheegan eelangeon ttaelo'n tteutdaelo dwaejee'n anneungeot gata

다짐해봐도 그렇게 하얀 창밖을 멍하니 바라보다

dajeemhaebwado geuleokae hayan changbak-eul meonghani balaboda

이렇게 눈이 오는 날엔 한없이 그대 생각이 나는데

eeleokae noonee oneun nalaen geuda saengak-ee naneundae

함께 걷던 거린 아직 그대론데

hamkae geotteon geoleen geudaelo'ndae

왜 나는 혼자 걷고 있는지

wae naneun honja geotko eetneunjee

미치게 보고 싶은 날엔 하늘에 그대 얼굴을 그려봐

meecheegae bogosheepeun nalae'n haneulae geuda eolgool-eul geuleobwa

또렷하지 않게 기억이 흘러도 바보같이 추억에 살아

ttolyeot hajee anado geeyeok-ee heolleodo babogachi choo-eogae sala

왜 그땐 몰랐는지 다 끝나야 아는지

wae geuttae'n mollatneunjee da keutnaya aneunjee

널 왜 못 잊는 건지 나도 모르겠어 woo

neol wae mot eetneunjee nado moleugaesseo

혼자 걷고 있지만 그대가 자꾸 보이는지

honja geotkko eetjeeman geudaega jakkoo bo-eeneunjee

이렇게 눈이 오는 날에는

eeleokae noonee o-neun nalae'n

너무 보고 싶지만 여기까지만 해야죠

neomoo bogosheepjeeman yeogikajeeman haeyahajo

언제나 눈이 오는 날엔 곁에 있는 게 당연했었는데

eonjaena noonee o-neun nalae'n gyeotae eetneungae dangyeonhaesseot neundae

내가 없는 거린 지워 버렸을까 그대는 혼자 걷고 있을까

naega eopneun geolee'n jeeweo beolyeosseulka geudae'n honja eesseulka

조금씩 희미해져 가는 사랑이 돌아오지는 않을까

jogeumsheek heemeehaejyeo ganeun salang-ee dola ojee aneulka

아직까지 기다리는데 이렇게 창밖에 눈이 오는 날엔

ajeekkajee ghidaleeneundae eeleokae changbakkae noonee o-neun nalae'n
