[Yoon Minsoo] 윤민수 in Vibe

I'm sure you've heard of this dude. Likely, you heard of him at about the exact same time I found out about him, when he showed up as one of the new singers to join TVprogram "I Am a Singer". My first thought was "who's that guy? kinda cute, good built... looks good..." Then I found out that his name was Yoon Minsoo.

Yoon Minsoo, born on April 1980, made his debut in 1998 as one of the original member of the group "Four Men" (포맨). He stepped out as member of the group not long after their second album, but stayed with the company and started to be a song writer and producer for the remaining Four Men starting from the third album. (My research found that the current members of the group are all "new" members, leaving no traces of the original formation)

In 2002, Yoon came back to the music industry in a new group called "Vibe" (바이브) through their first album titled "Afterglow". The group originally had three members: Yoon Minsoo, Ryu Jae-Hyeon (류재현), and Yoo Seonggyu (유성규). Yoo stepped out of the group after their second album and sing solo as "Noblesse", leaving on Ryu and Yoon in the team. 

Despite his so coy-looking style we see in "I am a Singer", I find his previous pictures from Vibe to be "richer" in expression~ I wonder which one is the real him~ ^^

Although I hadn't known them for long, it seems that Vibe's 3rd album especially made a breakthrough for them. Yoon Minsoo sung two most representative songs of this album on his first appearance in "I am A Singer": "That man, That woman" and "Liquor". 

[Vibe] 그남자 그여자 (feat Jang Hyejin)

[Vibe] 술아야
(during live concert, inviting an audience on the stage~ what a lucky girl ^^)

Also a surprise by the beginning of this video is that the keyboardist is Jang Jiwon (장지원) who's a regular session keyboardist for Boohwal concert as well~ :)

Anyways~ I'm sorry I couldn't really gather that much about him~ to be honest, I don't have the time to (T_T) I'm in tight schedule... Yoon Minsoo had only been in "I am A Singer" in one "set" now, in the competition singing "그리움만 쌓이네" (originally by 여진, 1995) and "사랑 그 쓸쓸함에 대하여" (originally by Yang Hee-Eun, 1991). Out of all his songs choice and performances, the guy really got me. He's got depth~ I wish him success without loosing any of the depth he has now. 

Best wishes and fingers crossed~~ Yoon Min Soo!! :)

Also check out Vibe's 4th album "Vibe in Praha" which was released in 2010, featuring the songs "미친거니" (Are you Crazy?) and "다시 와주라" (Come again for me). Check out the later below~! ^_^

[Green Face] Jeong Dan

He's a unique one. Born with the name 김병건, he debut as Boohwal's 8th vocalist with the stage name "Jeong Dan" (정단). He was the voice in Boohwal's 9th album "Over the Rainbow" released in 2003.

At the same time, Kim Tae Won was also in charge of the OST for the movie "A Moment to Remember" (머리속의 지우게). The title song of this 9th album titled "Beautiful Truth" (아름다운 사실) was used as the main OST of the movie.


Below is a clip of Boohwal performance in Concert 7080 featuring "Tree Bicycle  (나무자전거) performing Beautiful Truth~ :)

Coming out of Boohwal, Jeong Dan adopted "Green Face" as stage name and work on solo projects. 

Among movie/drama OSTs Green Face participated in:

• 내일은 비 - OST of "A Moment to Remember" (머리속의 지우게)
• 그대가 그립다 - OST of "바람불어 좋은날"
• 사랑은 그리움의 친구입니다 - OST of "Youthful Beauty" (동안미녀)

Please find below 2 songs of Green Face I can't help my heart bumping everytime I hear it~~"Love is a friend of longing" which is the OST for "Youthful Beauty" and "Horang Nabi" which was originally sung by Kim Hueng-Kuk and re-arranged by Green Face himself (which you can find in his second album) sung live in Olleh Square Talk Concert past 24 July 2011. My separate accounts on google made it difficult to link it from youtube thus the live video is not so clear. Go to youtube for a better quality. 

Wow I just realized that I really don't know much about Jeong Dan judging from how short this post is T_T
Well, the guy just have this wonderful voice, and what more is needed from a singer, don't you think? ^^


Note that he seems to be the oldest among the four vocalist in "누구나 사랑을 한다" since they all call him "hyeong" although my naver search resulted that Park Wan Kyu is older.. probably there's some late registration or what not going on there.. I'll edit this part of the post once I collected more info about him (which is not likely since he's really not "out there" on the web). If you're interested in this guy though, you can check his official fan club~ :)

Lastly,  a song from Green Face's second album, "a story I want to tell my lover" (우리 애인에게 하고 싶은 이야기) sung live in Olleh Square Talk Concert, also on 24July 2011 (I'm going again this August 28th btw~ ^^)
