Jeon Young-rok: "If only one page of my musical life remains, then it's over"... 'And I Love You So'
Through "And I Love You So," Jeon Young-rok shared his candid inner thoughts, singing of musical solitude and the fleeting nature of life.
Though his journey with music has spanned decades, his perspective on its conclusion remains calm yet profound. Singer Jeon Young-rok has shared the philosophy that permeates his musical life, accompanied by his cover of "And I Love You So." His reflections touch upon the act of performing on stage and the solitude that exists beyond the spotlight.
"If you ask how I got here, I don't know either"
When asked about his musical journey, Jeon chose uncertainty over a definitive answer. He remarked that if people were to ask how he reached this point, he would simply say he doesn't know. This reflects the attitude of an artist who has surrendered to the flow of music rather than following a calculated path. His current presence on stage is the culmination of that long journey.
For him, music is a source of freedom, yet it is also a destiny that follows him like a shadow. He confessed a fear that this shadow might cling to him, perhaps never allowing him to be truly free. It is a moment that reveals the inner struggle of an artist who communicates with the world through music while simultaneously fighting not to be consumed by it.
"When only one page remains in the book of life, my musical life ends too"
His passion for music is matched by a keen awareness of life's finitude. Jeon noted that the book of life is short, stating that if only a single page were left, his entire life dedicated to song and music would come to an end. By placing music and life on the same plane, he suggests that music is more than just a profession—it is life itself.
While he finds joy in hearing that he has brought peace to others, he does not hide the loneliness he feels or the weight that music imposes upon him. He articulated the gap between the freedom felt as a lover of music and the solitude experienced within its shadow. Alongside his confession of finding spiritual freedom through music, he poses a heavy question about how he will fill the remaining chapters of his musical life.
