Her career took a major hit, though, in the fall of that same year. A sex tape leaked out on the Internet featuring Baek having sex with her former manager in a hotel. The tape spread widely on the Internet, due to heavy media coverage and South Korea's status as a heavily "wired" country. A major scandal, Baek initially apologized, but then claimed that she had no knowledge of the videotape and refused to remain quiet. Baek underwent severe rejection from the Korean public. Audiences at her performances went so far as to throw straws and apples, amongst other objects, while she was onstage.
The video was recorded secretly in the hotel room without Baek's knowledge and was later used to threaten Baek when she attempted to change her contracted manager at the peak of her career. The former manager, who fled to the U.S., is currently serving time in a Los Angeles jail for charges of sex with a minor, which he recorded on video.
She released a third album, Tres, in June of the following year, and it sold a respectable amount of copies (the total close to 200,000). However, the scandal still plagued her; as a result, Baek took a break from the Korean music industry.
Two years after the release of "Tres", Baek released her fourth album Smile in September of 2003. Although not a runaway success, it managed to sell a decent amount of copies, placing 46th for the year.
As of July 2006, Baek is promoting her fifth album Smile Again, released in March of 2006. Unlike her other singles, 사랑 안해 (I Don't Love), her first single from the album, is a ballad. However, this does not mean that she has alienated her fan base; there are many Latin/dance tracks on the album. In fact, the second single has seen Baek going back to her musical roots, as Ez Do Dance is a sexy Latin number.
On September 7, 2007, Baek's sixth album, The Sixth Miracle, was released, with the lead single "사랑 하나면 돼" ("I Only Need One Love"). She won an award for the album at the Seoul Music Awards in January 2008. Baek released her seventh album, Sensibility, released on November 14, 2008.
Because
백지영 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
내게 남은 사랑 때문에
오래전에 끝난 일인걸
왜 난 항상 그대론지
그래요 모두 내 탓인걸알아요
그렇게 단념했었지만
흘러내린 눈물을 멈출 순 없겠지
그의 품에 안긴 채 웃는 날 보며
이해하고 있지만 날 기다리지마
너에게도 소중한 그를 위해
널 친구로도 대할 수 없는
잔인한 운명을 원망할 뿐
차라리 날 미워해 용서해
아직까지도 나는 너를 사랑해
곤히 잠든 그를 보며
참았던 눈물을 보이지만
날 사랑하는 사람보다는
내가 사랑하는 사람 때문에
이젠 괜찮다면서 애써 웃음보이던
그 마음을 붙잡고싶었지만
끝내 외면한건 다시 흔들릴
내 모습 두려워
널 친구로도 대할 수 없는
잔인한 운명을 원망할 뿐
차라리 날 미워해 용서해
아직까지도 나는 너를 사랑해
곤히 잠든 그를 보며
참았던 눈물을 보이지만
내 곁에 있는 사람보다는
내겐 너무 먼 사람 때문에
The lyrics to 백지영's song "Because" talk about the lingering feelings of love and the struggles of letting go. The singer explains that they still can't love someone else because they still have love left for someone from the past. Even though the relationship ended a long time ago, the singer always sees their ex-lover in everyone they meet. They understand that it's their own fault for holding onto those feelings, but they can't help but shed tears and long for the person who used to make them smile. However, they ask their current partner not to wait for them because they are unable to treat them as just a friend and only feel resentment towards their cruel fate. Instead, they suggest that their partner should hate and forgive them, as the singer still loves their ex-lover after all this time. They try to hide their tears while looking at their ex-lover who is sleeping peacefully, but they can't help but feel that, compared to the person by their side, the person they love is still too far away.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of heartache and the emotional turmoil of not being able to fully move on from a past love. It shows the internal struggle of trying to let go while still holding onto the feelings and memories of someone who once meant so much.

아직도 그를 사랑할 수 없는건
The reason why I can't love him yet
내게 남은 사랑 때문에
Is because I still have love for someone else
오래전에 끝난 일인걸
It's because it's something that ended a long time ago
왜 난 항상 그대론지
Why am I always stuck with you
그래요 모두 내 탓인걸알아요
Yes, I know it's all my fault
그렇게 단념했었지만
I had given up like that
흘러내린 눈물을 멈출 순 없겠지
I can't stop the tears that have flowed
그의 품에 안긴 채 웃는 날 보며
Seeing me smile while embraced in his arms
애써 슬픔 지우던 네 마음을
Your heart that tried hard to erase the sadness
이해하고 있지만 날 기다리지마
I understand, but don't wait for me
너에게도 소중한 그를 위해
For the one who is precious to you as well
널 친구로도 대할 수 없는
I can't treat you even as a friend
잔인한 운명을 원망할 뿐
I just resent this cruel fate
차라리 날 미워해 용서해
Rather, hate me, forgive me
아직까지도 나는 너를 사랑해
I still love you
곤히 잠든 그를 보며
As I watch him sleeping soundly
참았던 눈물을 보이지만
Even though I hide the suppressed tears
날 사랑하는 사람보다는
More than the person who loves me
내가 사랑하는 사람 때문에
It's because of the person I love
이젠 괜찮다면서 애써 웃음보이던
Pretending it's okay and forcing a smile
그 마음을 붙잡고싶었지만
I wanted to hold onto that heart
끝내 외면한건 다시 흔들릴
But in the end, I turned away because I was afraid
내 모습 두려워
Scared of my own self
널 친구로도 대할 수 없는
I can't treat you even as a friend
잔인한 운명을 원망할 뿐
I just resent this cruel fate
차라리 날 미워해 용서해
Rather, hate me, forgive me
아직까지도 나는 너를 사랑해
I still love you
곤히 잠든 그를 보며
As I watch him sleeping soundly
참았던 눈물을 보이지만
Even though I hide the suppressed tears
내 곁에 있는 사람보다는
More than the person by my side
내겐 너무 먼 사람 때문에
It's because of the person who feels so distant to me

장미꽃향기
벗꽃길을 걸으며
이시간 이순간 지나고나면
꽃잎되어 흩어질까봐
살짝 아쉬워져요
벗꽃길 같이 걸어가요
흔들거리는 가지가지들
바람 스치우는 손길 따라서
잊혀지는건 모두 기억이 될꺼예요
지나고 나면 돌아설 아쉬움 이지만
벗꽃길 따라서 걸어봐요
소중한 것들은 한순간에 머물고
한순간에 지나가 버리곤해요
다시 못올 계절들은 말하죠
잊혀지기 싫다고 저마다 잊혀지기 싫다고
꽃으로 활짝 피어내 존재를 피어내 알리죠
벗꽃길 머무는 동안 아주 오래 긴행복을
마음에 담으며 아름답다 느꼈죠
함께 있어서 더 행복한 순간일 꺼예요
행복한 이순간 놓치고 싶지 않기에
더 오래 바라보고 있었던 그길에
벗꽃 빛나는 마음안에서 꽃이되어서
느껴보아요 아 이런 마음 이구나
벗꽃길 따라서 걸어 보아요
계속 걸어 가고픈 그길에서서
생각합니다 벗꽃을. 벗꽃의 손을잡고
오래 걸어갑니다
꿈결같은 그길을 벗꽃을 생각하면서
가슴 뛰는 행복한 시간을 즐겨요

수고 많으셔요
원의 반경에서 남국정취와 하나가 된 마치 블랙홀이되어 하루의 피로가 튕겨져나가요
에메랄드빛 바다에 ''퐁당''빠져드는 '' 비코즈오브유''무드가
드라마속 주인공이되어
방향이 멈추질않고 지금 서있는 자리 소중한 일상이 이국의 활엽수 향취로 ''내일''의 변화와 쉼표까지 챙겨주었어요
생각한줌님도 견실한 능력이 향상되는 일상에서 기쁨도 함께하는 오늘 되세요🌺💋😘😉🥕
