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.
The Man
백지영 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
알아요 얼마나 아픈지
알아요 가슴이 자꾸 체한 것처럼
아파서 숨을 쉴 수가 없죠
알아요 말하지 않아도
알아요 그 마음 어떤지
알아요 사랑이 내겐 전부이니깐
여자 마음은 같은 거니까
까맣게 다 잊었단 그 말
남자들은 모르는 거짓말
너 없이 잘 지낸다는 말
너 없이 행복하다는 그런 말
죽을만큼 아픈 그 마음 다 알아
안돼요 사진을 버려도
안돼요 친구를 만나도
웃어도 아파할 여자들의 마음을
남자는 절대 모를 테니까
가슴이 널 지웠다는 말
까맣게 다 잊었단 그 말
남자들은 모르는 거짓말
너 없이 잘 지낸다는 말
너 없이 행복하다는 그런말
죽을만큼 아픈 그 마음 다 알아
항상 난 사랑할 때마다
눈물이 나오고 나서야
멀어지는 널 보며 하는 말
가버려 내 못난 사랑아
가여운 바보같은 내 마음이
예전처럼 나 웃을 수 있게 가라
The lyrics to 백지영's song "The Man" describe the pain and heartache of love lost. The singer knows just how much love can hurt, and how it can make someone feel like their chest is tight and they can't breathe. The lyrics express her understanding of both her own emotions and those of other women, stating that even if women try to hide their pain and sadness, other women can always see through it. The song's chorus references a common lie that men tell, claiming that they can move on and be happy after a breakup, but the singer knows that this is not true - she understands how painful it is to be without the one you love.
The lyrics also convey the bitterness and sadness of the singer's own experience, mourning the loss of the man she loved and feeling like her love was not enough to keep him. She cannot bear to throw away their photos or see other men, knowing that her heart will ache. The singer even addresses herself as a "stupid fool" and wishes she could just let go of her love and move on.
Overall, "The Man" is a powerful song that speaks to the complexities and pain of love and heartbreak. It captures the deep emotions of loss and the difficulty of trying to move forward from something that has left a deep mark on your heart.

알아요 사랑이 무언지
I know what love is
알아요 얼마나 아픈지
I know how painful it is
알아요 가슴이 자꾸 체한 것처럼
I know how it feels when my heart aches incessantly
아파서 숨을 쉴 수가 없죠
The pain is so unbearable that I can hardly breathe
알아요 말하지 않아도
I know without you saying anything
알아요 그 마음 어떤지
I know what's in your heart
알아요 사랑이 내겐 전부이니깐
Love is everything to me
여자 마음은 같은 거니까
Because women's hearts are the same
가슴이 널 지웠다는 말
That I've erased you from my heart
까맣게 다 잊었단 그 말
And forgotten everything like it never existed
남자들은 모르는 거짓말
That's just a lie that men tell themselves
너 없이 잘 지낸다는 말
That they can live a good life without you
너 없이 행복하다는 그런 말
That they are happy without you
죽을만큼 아픈 그 마음 다 알아
But I know the truth, that my heart aches like it's going to kill me
안돼요 사진을 버려도
I can't do it, even if I throw away your pictures
안돼요 친구를 만나도
Even if I go out with my friends
웃어도 아파할 여자들의 마음을
Even when I force myself to smile, women's hearts ache
남자는 절대 모를 테니까
Because men can never relate
항상 난 사랑할 때마다
Every time I fall in love
눈물이 나오고 나서야
The tears only come after the fact
멀어지는 널 보며 하는 말
As I watch you drift away, I say
가버려 내 못난 사랑아
Please leave my pathetic love
가여운 바보같은 내 마음이
So that my pitiful, foolish heart
예전처럼 나 웃을 수 있게 가라
Can laugh like it used to, just go away

한 여자가 그대를 사랑합니다
그 여자는 열심히 사랑합니다
매일 그림자처럼 그대를 따라다니며
그 여자는 웃으며 울고있어요
얼마나 얼마나 더 너를
이렇게 바라만 보며 혼자
이 바람같은 사랑 이 거지같은 사랑
계속해야 니가 나를 사랑 하겠니
조금만 가까이 와 조금만
한발 다가가면 두 발 도망가는
널 사랑하는 난 지금도 옆에 있어
그 여잔 웁니다
그 여자는 성격이 소심합니다
그래서 웃는 법을 배웠답니다
친한 친구에게도 못하는 얘기가 많은
그 여자의 마음은 눈물투성이
그래서 그 여자는 그댈
널 사랑 했데요 똑같아서
또 하나같은 바보 또 하나같은 바보
한번 나를 안아주고 가면 안되요
난 사랑받고 싶어 그대여
매일 속으로만 가슴 속으로만
소리를 지르며 그 여자는 오늘도
그 옆에 있데요
그 여자가 나라는 걸 아나요
알면서도 이러는 건 아니죠
모를꺼야 그댄 바보니까
얼마나 얼마나 더 너를
이렇게 바라만 보며 혼자
이 바보같은 사랑 이 거지같은 사랑
계속해야 니가 나를 사랑 하겠니
조금만 가까이 와 조금만
한발 다가가면 두 발 도망가는
널 사랑하는 난 지금도 옆에 있어
그 여잔 웁니다
