Korean stars come together for I Love Asia song project

JYP to Jackie Chan: ‘So yeah, we’re gonna sing this part real loud,
OK. You can go ahead and do your kungfu moves when
we get to this part.’ – Pic edaily

Today’s the day folks!

It’s the day when our beloved Hallyu stars come together to lend their voices to the I Love Asia song project to raise funds for the Sichuan earthquake victims.

Wonder Girls: Fighting!

The We Are the World-like project is the brainchild of Hong Kong superstar Jackie Chan, and fully supported by super producer JYP and director Kang Je-kyu.

Many stars turned up for the recording this morning, some already decked-out in matching I Love Asia T-shirts!

Brown Eyed Girls were seen practicing with song sheet in hand while Chae Yeon and Park Yong-ha were seen listening to their iPODs – to familiarise themselves with the tune (I think).

Brown Eyed Girls: ‘ The tip of the tongue, the teeth, the lips’

 

Battle: All set for some musical action

All in all, there are 30 Korean stars involved in the fund-raising effort:

Head honchos:

  1. Park Jin-young
  2. Kang Je-kyu

Figure skater:

  1. Kim Yuna

Actors:

  1. Kim Ah-joong
  2. Park Yong-ha
  3. Han Hye-jin
  4. Yoo Seung-ho
  5. Jeon Hye-bin

Singers:

Here’s a peek at part of the song’s lyrics. Can anyone translate the Korean bits?

I’ll be on your side 함께 할게
I’ll give you my hand 내 손을 잡고 일어나
눈물이 마를 때까지 나의 어깨에 기대서 쉬렴
다시 일어나 웃는 니 모습을 기다릴게

    i wonder if they know that they could still donate DIRECTLY for the victims of the earthquake without making a GIMICK like this?

    SOME OF THEM DID, RIGHT AFTER HEARING OF THE NEWS …. AND ALL THE PROCEEDS THEY GET FROM THE DVD SALES OF THIS “GIMICK” WILL GO TO HELPING THE VICTIMS AND THE RELIEF EFFORTS AS WELL.

  • Audrey, thanks for the link! 🙂 Totally enjoyed watching it. I think Jackie Chan is so funny when he was trying to keep up with the choir. Ha ha ha…JYP had to romanise his parts for him…awww.

    Song’s sounding mighty fine. Can’t wait too 🙂

  • To one of the anonymous-es (please, write your name!) who said that I got the Clon members mixed up. Well dang it, you’re right!

    I’ve since corrected the mistake 🙂 Thanks!

  • Is there going to be a concert?
    If so, when????
    I’m excited to hear about it!
    Thanks!

  • CLON – omg I didn’t recognize w/o his shiny baldness ^_^ I adored clon back in their heyday. Jo Sung Mo is out and about now!…He looks adorable :)!!!

    You’ve gotten the members of Clon mixed up. Kang Won-rae is the one in the wheelchair.

    And yes, Battle did lose a member. I think Kihyun left to pursue acting?

  • No Malaysian artist? I want Joon Park in this too. But then, the t-shirt is nice too. I want one…

  • I’ll be on your side 함께 할게

    Translation:
    (I’ll be on your side) we’ll do it together
    (I’ll give you my hand) holding my hand, get up
    until your tears dry, rest on my shoulder
    i’ll wait for your again smiling face.

    this may be a little roughly translated cause my koreans not so awesome, but i tried. 🙂

  • wow. wonder girls look so pretty without the flashy-esque outfits! so does joo!
    and alex looks super handsome always with that smile!
    so wait, aside from jackie chan, will singers and entertainers from other asian countries participate as well? i hope so!

  • If the show is run by JYP does this mean dbsk, super junior and Big Bang won’t be inside the projek? No YG or SM entertainment artist to sing the I Love Asia song? * sob * sob *

  • Wonder Girls look different. Like they did their own makeup and hair. 😛
