(Narration)
Everyday I pray to help me through the day
to make myself stronger... and I pray

Gu oren kumduri jogumsshig dagawa nunaphe pyolchyojinun jigum

Discovered Shinhwa in 2003 when I was 12 through the My MVP Valentine OST where Perfect Man and Shout were featured. I loved them since then. So proud to be a Shinhwa Changjo! Truly the Shinhwa and SHCJ relationship comes only once in a lifetime.

@Shawol4ever2008

I can't hear this without thinking about their 10th anniversary concert where they were all crying and SHCJ's sang it to them. Everytime this song plays, I just start crying. It's so beautiful <3
