Intro
Jungsiky is an indie band from South Korea, featuring members Jungsiky (vocals), Sam Samuel (guitar), Wooja (bass), and Hanwoo (drums). They’ve carved out a niche for themselves in the music industry with their unique genre known as “Chonsrock,” which translates to “rustic rock.” Gaining significant popularity and attention during their participation in Season 7 of SuperstarK, they stood out among band competitors, receiving high praise from the judges from the third preliminary round through to Superweek. This acclaim led them to effortlessly secure a spot in the live broadcasts, ultimately making it to the top 4.
Favorite song : I am a firefly
I’m not usually a fan of this indie band, but I found myself unexpectedly captivated by the lyrics of their song, “I Am a Firefly.” At first glance, it’s a poetic reflection mistaken self-identity, where the narrator initially believes themselves to be a shining star, only to realize they are, in fact, a firefly. Despite this revelation, the message is uplifting and empowering: recognizing one’s true nature doesn’t diminish their brilliance or worth. The metaphorical journey from believing oneself to be a celestial body to embracing the more humble, yet equally luminous existence of a firefly speaks volumes about self-acceptance and finding beauty in what we really are. This song beautifully marries the themes of disillusionment and enlightenment, making it an inspiring piece that resonates deeply.
I have specifically prepared both Korean and English lyrics for this song. I hope that even those who don’t understand Korean can be touched by its emotion.
제목 : 나는 반딧불 나는 내가 빛나는 별인 줄 알았어요 한 번도 의심한 적 없었죠 몰랐어요 난 내가 벌레라는 것을 그래도 괜찮아 난 눈부시니까 하늘에서 떨어진 별인 줄 알았어요 소원을 들어주는 작은 별 몰랐어요 난 내가 개똥벌레라는 것을 그래도 괜찮아 나는 빛날 테니까 나는 내가 빛나는 별인 줄 알았어요 한 번도 의심한 적 없었죠 몰랐어요 난 내가 벌레라는 것을 그래도 괜찮아 난 눈부시니까 한참 동안 찾았던 내 손톱 하늘로 올라가 초승달 돼 버렸지 주워 담을 수도 없게 너무 멀리 갔죠 누가 저기 걸어놨어 누가 저기 걸어놨어 우주에서 무주로 날아온 밤하늘의 별들이 반딧불이 돼 버렸지 내가 널 만난 것처럼 마치 약속한 것처럼 나는 다시 태어났지 나는 다시 태어났지 나는 내가 빛나는 별인 줄 알았어요 한 번도 의심한 적 없었죠 몰랐어요 난 내가 벌레라는 것을 그래도 괜찮아 난 눈부시니까 하늘에서 떨어진 별인 줄 알았어요 소원을 들어주는 작은 별 몰랐어요 난 내가 개똥벌레란 것을 그래도 괜찮아 나는 빛날 테니까
Title: I Am a Firefly I thought I was a shining star Never doubted it, not once I didn't know I was a bug But it's okay, because I dazzle I thought I was a star fallen from the sky A little star that grants wishes I didn't know I was a dung beetle But it's okay, I will shine I thought I was a shining star Never doubted it, not once I didn't know I was a bug But it's okay, because I dazzle For a long time, I searched for my fingernail It went up to the sky and became a crescent moon It went too far for me to pick up Who hung it up there, who hung it up there From the universe to Muju, flying The stars in the night sky turned into fireflies As if I met you, as if we promised I was reborn, I was reborn I thought I was a shining star Never doubted it, not once I didn't know I was a bug But it's okay, because I dazzle I thought I was a star fallen from the sky A little star that grants wishes I didn't know I was a dung beetle But it's okay, I will shine
