Paul Kim - Mini [Star]

Paul Kim 3rd EP 'Star' 01 Star There are times when I become afraid of stepping onto the stage. At the moment when I felt so scared that I wanted to give up everything and thought it was all over, a small light shining from afar felt like a guardian star protecting me, and thanks to that, I was able to stand up again. As time passes and I am no longer who I am now, and when moments come where I want to collapse, exhausted by life, I hope this will be a beautiful memory that I can lean on while closing my eyes for a moment. 02 One More Time There have been more days where my efforts feel insufficient when compared to the efforts of others. When everything feels like a mess and I feel unable to do anything, I think of someone who gives me strength. I've realized that everyone needs a place to hide. I take a moment to catch my breath and courageously take a step forward. Because we are never alone. 03 A Lucky Day I've realized that everything depends on how you think about it. When my mind feels like hell, I blame the situation for everything, but looking back after time has passed, I reflect on whether I was the one who jumped into the fire. Of course, it would have been better if I hadn't, but nothing changes by just being consumed by rage alone. A shift in perspective—finding the good things rather than staying fixated on the bad—seems more productive. Though, of course, I am still a moth to a flame... 04 Something Special Have you ever felt that you wanted to maximize your emotions when expressing them? A shy "nice to see you" from a friend I haven't seen in a long time is good, but these days, I want to hear an uncontrollable "I'm seriously, incredibly, insanely happy to see you." I was living quietly, wondering if this is what it means to be an adult, but I've become a middle-aged person in my 30s who misses expressing affection with immature fussiness. 05 돛단배 sailing on a Dot Dan Bae
