[I LUV K-POP] Kang Daniel's(강다니엘) advice for young people who are sick "UPSIDE DOWN" (Lyrics)

 

K-POP STAR KANG DANIEL(SPORTSDONGA DB)

“IT HURTS BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG”.

It is a very famous sentence in Korea.
The first time this word was said was in 2011. It's been over 10 years.
"IT HURTS BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG" is also the title of a book written by Professor Kim Nan-do of Seoul National University.
This book comforts and encourages young people who are tired of the unpredictable future and hard reality.

However, there are also criticisms that they ignored the structural problems of Korean society and forced only constant efforts on young people.

I also do not entirely agree with the phrase "IT HURTS BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU."
You are a young man, so take it for granted to make mistakes. And try harder." The story is not new.

Kang Daniel's(강다니엘) new song "UPSIDE DOWN" seems to be the 2022 version of Professor Kim Nan-do's "IT HURTS BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG."
Kang Daniel's 'UPSIDE DOWN' is the title track of his first full-length album.
Kang Daniel's first full-length album "THE STORY" contains a total of 10 songs.

'UPSIDE DOWN' is a medium tempo song that gently enters my ear.
The rhythm of 'UPSIDE DOWN' is cheerful and full of energy.
However, if you look at the lyrics of the song, it has a very strong message.

Nothing goes my way.
When I say something, everyone is against it.
I don't know why this is happening to me.
I feel like I live the world the other way around.

So far, this is the situation of Professor Kim Nan-do's "IT HURTS BECAUSE YOU ARE YOUNG."
However, our Kang Daniel(강다니엘) offers a different solution from Professor Kim Nan-do.
Kang Daniel does not intentionally comfort, saying, "It is okay to make a mistake because you are young."
He doesn't even press "to endure the pain and try harder."
Instead, Kang Daniel(강다니엘) shouts like this.

I'm going to change it again.
Turn everything upside down.
‘UPSIDE DOWN’ ‘UPSIDE DOWN’
Turn the whole world upside down.

Kang Daniel is not passive. His solution is positive.
He advises us not to put up with it and turn the world upside down.
In the current situation in 2022, I want to get closer to Kang Daniel's advice.

Kang Daniel's B-boying performance can be seen later in the music video for 'UPSIDE DOWN'.
It's all the more nice to see Kang Daniel's b-boying dance, which has been hard to see since his idol debut.
While watching his b-boying dance, I thought, "This is Kang Daniel's way of turning the world upside down."
He was turning the world upside down with the b-boying dance he could do best.
Maybe Kang Daniel wanted to tell us?
"You should face the world with what you're best at".

Young people are no longer allowed to be sick.
If you are sick, don't hold it in and change the situation.
Kang Daniel's(강다니엘) 'UPSIDE DOWN' clearly showed us this.
