His music, at the beginning of his career, was heavily influenced by R&B but pop had become more evident in his music. He isn't fluent in English, though his pronounciation is considered to be very good; He usually has 1 or 2 songs sung completely in English in all of his albums.
Wheesung was first part of dance-team "ING" when he debuted in 1997. He later became the lead vocals for the short-lived boyband "A4" in 1999. Due to musical differences & disagreements with other group members, he left after the release of their first album.
After leaving A4, he was taken under the management of YG Entertainment's sister company M.BOAT and was trained for two years before releasing his first solo album in 2002. Even before the release of his first album, Wheesung attracted attention from music lovers after being highly praised by veteran singers Shin Seung Hoon, Yang Hyun Suk & Seo Taiji. His debut album gained great popularity and quickly reached the top ten in music charts. In 2003, he released his follow-up album, It's Real. It proved to be as popular as his first, making him the best selling artist of 2003 in Korea. Unlike his debut album, It's Real wasn't restricted to R&B and it included different musical elements like pop and hip-hop.
For his third album's performances, Wheesung choose to perform his first performance at a different show instead of the natural first choice, SBS' Inkigayo. This move not only angered SBS, it also fuelled a fierce disagreement between SBS and YG Entertainment. In the weeks that followed, SBS refused to let any artist belonging to the YG Entertainment & M.BOAT stable to perform in Inkigayo. In retaliation, Yang Hyun Suk, founder of YG Entertainment, posted a comment on YG's website stating that all artists under YG Entertainment would boycott the 2004 SBS Music Awards. The feud between the two companies ended after Wheesung performed his first comeback performance in SBS' Inkigayo, for his Love..Love..?Love..! album, in September 2005. He was the first YG artist to perform in SBS' Inkigayo in nearly a whole year.
His contract with YG Entertainment & M.Boat ended in March 2006. He signed a new contract that is reportedly worth 1.5 million won with his new company Orange Shock Agency. It was stated that he will be composing and producing more with his new company giving him more freedom to do so.
To date he has released 6 albums, 1 minialbum and 2EP and participated in several other artists' albums.
사랑은
휘성 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
만남이란 상상만으로도
눈부신 낭만의 시작
한잔의 진한 설레임에
향기가 온몸으로 퍼지는
환상의 시간
슬며시 두 볼이 붉어진 연인들이
단풍 잎새처럼 느껴질 쓸쓸함이란
무르익는 계절의 소식
마음에 번지는 흥분과
또 넘치는 기쁨에
뿜어지는 눈물들이
며칠을 잠을 깨워
또 깨워 밤 새워
애태워 해봐도 그리움 못 채워
그저 끄적 편지만 몇 글자
보고 싶은 사람의 얼굴만
자꾸자꾸 떠오르네 떠오르네
Just Wanna Fall\' in Luv
혼자 보다 외로움 보다
둘의 행복함
낮과 밤은 사라지는 사랑의 기적
열과 성과 진심으로 전한
사랑의 결과는 기분 좋은 변화로
믿음이라는 굳은 살이 박히고
더 아끼고픈 욕심에 푹 빠지고
살기좋은 이 삶이란
이야기만 지나칠만큼
입에 맴돌아
달콤한 말보다 사소함을 챙길 때
맺는 두 사람의 교감
아주 자주 아픈 말을 낳는
질투가 주는 실수는
비뚤어진 입을 길들여
이해하기 인정하기를
기억하고 실천하길
넓은 가슴이 즐겨먹는
사랑은 맛있어
달빛 젖은 햇살 머금은
세상의 선물
지켜줄께 아껴줄께 영원의 주문
U Make ME feel Brand New
값진 사랑 반쪽을 갈라
서로 나누어
언제나 가슴에 품고서
모든 순간 함께 해
웃음이 번지고 행복함은
넘치고 기쁨도 커지고
Everybody Sing
This song Right Now
사랑은 맛있어
달빛 젖은 햇살 머금은
세상의 선물
지켜줄께 아껴줄께
영원의 주문
U Make ME feel Brand New
값진 사랑 반쪽을 갈라
서로 나누어
언제나 가슴에 품고서
모든 순간 함께 해
