From a young age, Yesung expressed an interest in singing. In 1999, he joined a broadcast singing competition and won gold at the Cheonan Singing Competition. In 2001, Yesung's mother signed him up to audition for SM Entertainment's Starlight Casting System, in which he impressed the judges with his "artistic voice", and signed as trainee under SM Entertainment that same year. His label given him stage name Yesung which is derived from the Korean phrase "예술가의 성대" (lit. meaning: vocal cords of an artist) and can be translated as an "art-like voice".
During his military service in February 2014, Yesung joined the ballad group SM the Ballad, initially formed by SM Entertainment in 2010. On the group's second album, he had a solo song: "Blind".
어떤 말로도
예성 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
난 말이야 온통 네 생각뿐인 걸
대체 무슨 마법을 건 거야
내 마음의 꽃이 피고 있는 걸
(있잖아) 들리니 내 심장소리
(Only you) 내 생애 가장 아름다운 별
너 하나로 빛나고 있는
어떤 말로도 어떤 표현도
내 마음 다 전할 수 없지만 괜찮아
사랑이란 쉽지 만은 않을 거야
꽃을 들고서 다가가 볼까
허전한 네 손 꼭 잡으며
이렇게 용기를 내어 내 사랑을
고백하고 싶어
요즘 나 이유 없이 웃음이나
또 너의 꿈을 꾸는 것도 일상이야
처음 주고 받은 메시지
보고 또 다시 보는 것도
벌써 몇 번째인지
기분 좋은 향기 같은 너
조금씩 서로를 닮아가고 있는 걸
오늘은 손을 잡고 걷고 싶어
한발씩 가까워지는 하루 하루가 꿈만 같아
난 그냥 가만히 잘 있다가도
문득 떠오르는 네 생각에
자꾸 바보처럼 실없이 웃게 돼
날 바라보고 웃던 미소가 좋아
매일 볼 수 있다면
어떤 말로도 어떤 표현도
내 마음 다 전할 수 없지만 괜찮아
사랑이란 쉽지 만은 (쉽지 만은) 않을 거야 oh yeah
꽃을 들고서 다가가 볼까
허전한 네 손 꼭 잡으며
이렇게 용기를 내어 내 사랑을
고백하고 싶어
스쳐 지나간 흔한 인연이라 해도
Wow wow
난 평생 너를 잊지 못할 것 같은데 woo
어떤 말로도 어떤 표현도
내 마음 다 전할 수 없지만 괜찮아
사랑이란 쉽지 만은 (쉽지 만은) 않을 거야 oh yeah
꽃을 들고서 다가가 볼게
허전한 네 손 꼭 잡으며
이렇게 용기를 내어 내 사랑을 (내 사랑을)
고백하고 싶어
