Singers Jang Min-ho and Son Bin-a drew attention by performing a song capturing the sorrow of a fateful parting. In a video released by TV CHOSUN JOY, the two sang 'A Man's Tears' together, conveying the uniquely mournful emotion of the track.

Inevitable Fate and Swallowed Tears

'A Man's Tears,' performed by the two singers, is a song depicting the mindset of a man facing a moment of separation. The lyrics contain a situation where one must leave behind only regret because they feel they cannot go if they do not leave now, alongside a resigned confession that if this was their heaven, asking for more would be greed. The core of the song revolves around the tears of a man who, faced with an inevitable fate, cannot cry out loud but instead swallows them while holding them in his heart.

On stage, the lyrics continued with the sentiment of leaving just as they are because of the fear of the dawn when the parting occurs, and the feeling of leaving because one will appear too shabby once morning comes. The sorrowful emotion—that if one buries their love within the tears shed while turning away, the unfinished sad song will also scatter into the wind—was expressed through the voices of the two singers. Throughout the lyrics, the repetition of a man's tears, which he must swallow in his heart without crying out loud in the face of inevitable fate, adds to the song's tragic beauty.

An Emotion of Parting Where Regret and Resignation Intersect

The moment of parting is described more deeply as the song progresses. It shows the process of accepting the separation through the situation of having to leave with only regret because they feel they cannot go if they do not leave now, and the expression that if this was their heaven, anything more would be greed. In particular, the lyric stating that one leaves as they are because they will appear too shabby when morning comes maximizes the helplessness and sadness of a man standing before fate.

Following the lyrics of the song, the two singers conveyed the message that if their love is buried within the tears shed while turning away, their unfinished sad song will also scatter into the wind. Singing of a man's tears that must be swallowed in the heart rather than cried out loud in the face of inevitable fate, they expressed the feelings of facing the fear of the dawn of parting and the shabby morning in accordance with the emotion of the song.
