i wish i knew more about why he chose the um jung hwa song, who arranged it that way. we joke about tarbot so much but rly that was one of the times he showed real feeling in singing, as distinct from performing (which he is always on fire with), and bc it was solo it was so clear.

i agree with that logic anon- i'm no big fan of competition in the arts myself- but it gets word out about a singer and is easier for non-local fans to get to hear, are the other sides of that.

this keeps leading me to the point abt how i don't particularly think onew needs to be an idol singer at all, after his shinee run.
