Allan and I happened to meet at a Karaoke gathering hosted by Asian Student Union (ASU). And so we both thought, "Why not do an artifact?" We chose the song "Byul" which is featured in the film "200 Pounds of Beauty." Speaking in Korean and singing in Korean proved to be two completely different things in my opinion. Since singing was involved, I tended to worry more about the meanings behind the words and the emotions involved. Diction is important yet making sure one's feelings come across well is just as important too. Therefore I became more aware of this aspect through this singing experience.
I also particularly enjoyed this song because we spoke about this specific film in our cultural project in relation to the phenomenon of Korean cosmetic surgery. This song expresses how one's inner beauty is so important and how surgery can make the world a superficial life.
