Doing a lot of Kpop digging and I'm wondering if you can shed some light on the LPG album. I see it's somwhat a trot album, but there seems to be little to no talk about it aside from you having it on your ballot. I listened to some of the songs and I dig how they sound but I have no idea what they're signing about - the titles are all in Hangul and the only translations are on Amazon's mp3 page, which seems to be put illegally by somebody to make $$ off of uninformed downloaders.
Did you find the english lyrics somewhere, by chance? It looks like there might be some solid lyricism in there, but I'd never know.
Unfortunately, you have to call me Mr. Ignorant when it comes to LPG, and to trot in general. And I don't speak Korean.
You can find the entirety of what I've ever written about LPG here, here, and here. No idea what any of their lyrics are, except perhaps that "Riverside" is about a riverside. Or maybe not. The Special seems to have been a compilation of songs recorded over the previous five years. Seven of the songs were already on the LP Lucky Girl. My favorite song of theirs, "찔레꽃," which Amazon calls "Wild Rose" (Google Translate gives us "Thistle Flowers"), is a cover of a song that seems to date back at least to the 1940s (at least that's what this recent clip by Kang Min-ju seems to claim). Another favorite, "첫차" ("The First Train"), was also covered by Super Junior T, and I've found a YouTube version from back in the '80s. Obviously, LPG add modern touches, sometimes incorporating Eurodance and rap, and of course "Anger" is their version of Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP's "No Speak Americano
