She exploded into fame at the beginning of 2005 with her single 어머나! (an exclamation close in meaning to "Oh my goodness!"). Although in her 20s, she has decided to stick with a genre mainly appealing to older Koreans and has parlayed that into continued success, with three full albums (the latest one in October of 2006) and two "half" albums. Because of her age and her popularity, she has been able to play in both the younger K-Pop shows and the older trot shows. She is currently one of the MCs on SBS's 1000 Song Challenge.

In April, 2005, Jang Yoon-jeong debuted in Japan with the release of "Oh, My Goodness."

거짓말
장윤정 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

한잎 두잎 떨어지는 장미 꽃잎도
목이 말라 시들어가고
촛불 하나 커피 한잔 앞에 두고
내 가슴은 멍이 드는데

거짓말 (거짓말) 거짓말 (거짓말)
그대가 (그대가) 내게 준 사랑은 아니야
나나나나 나나나 나나나나 나나나

나나나나 나나나 날 진정 사랑했나요
바보바보 바보야 정말 바보 바보야
내 맘을 울리는 나쁜 사람아

높고 푸른 저 하늘에 새가 되어
그대에게 날아갔으면
밤 별들이 촘촘하게 어느 날 밤에
내게 고백해주던 사람

거짓말 (거짓말) 거짓말 (거짓말)
그대가 (그대가) 내게 준 사랑은 아니야
나나나나 나나나 나나나나 나나나
나나나나 나나나 날 진정 사랑했나요
바보바보 바보야 정말 바보 바보야
내 맘을 울리는 나쁜 사람아

바보바보 바보야 정말 바보 바보야
내 맘을 울리는 나쁜 사람아

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 장윤정's song "거짓말" ("Lies") describe the pain of unrequited love and the hurtful realization that the love given was not genuine. The first verse begins with the image of rose petals falling and withering due to thirst. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for the unfulfilled love of the singer. The second image of a lit candle and a cup of coffee in front of the singer creates a romantic and melancholic atmosphere, but the singer's heart is heavy with sadness.

In the chorus, the repetition of "거짓말" ("lies") emphasizes the theme of deception. The singer accuses the person they loved of not giving them genuine love. The repeated questioning of whether the person really loved them shows the singer's insecurity and desire for reassurance. The use of the word "바보" ("fool") in the bridge and the outro is aimed at the person who broke the singer's heart, revealing the bitterness and anger of the singer towards them.
