The Story ( SG wannabe ) - 매직 OST

너에게... 니 꿈속에... 스며들어가려고...이렇게...내 맘을.. 모두 바꿔버리려 해

너를 이렇게 가까이서 보고 있으면... 왜 내가.... 이렇게 아파올까....

난 너에게 네 모든 기억 속에 멈춰져 버린 단 한 사람....

그 아픈 기억이 되려고 네 곁에서 숨쉬잖아..

내 맘이 너의 기억 속으로 사라지더라도...

어딘가에서 들려오는 그 노래는 널 향하는 내 맘...

미안해 이제부턴 너를 위해 준비한 내 안에 모든걸 전부 지워버려야 해.....

너를 이렇게 가까이서 보고 있으면 왜 내가 이렇게 슬픈걸까......

난 너에게 네 모든 기억 속에 멈춰져 버린 단 한 사람...

그 아픈 기억이 되려고 네 곁에서 숨쉬잖아...

내 맘이 너의 기억 속으로 사라지더라도

어딘가에서 들려오는 그 노래는 널 향하는 내 맘...

눈 감지마요 내 손에서 단 한 순간도

그 안에서 나타날 투명한 나의 사랑 Can't you see

난 너에게 네 모든 기억 속에 멈춰져 버린 단 한 사람....

그 아픈 기억이 되려고 네 곁에서 꿈꾸잖아.

내 맘이 너의 기억 속으로 사라지더라도...

어딘가에서 들려오는 그 노래는 널 향하는 내 맘...

SG Wannabe first attracted attention by debuting through a music video of their title song of the album, �Timeless.� The music video was a mega project with about 2 billion won of production costs and was starred by top movie stars like Seol Kyung-goo, Kim Yoon-jin, Kim Nam-jin and Kang Hye-jeong. Recording a pre-sales of 90 thousand copies, the male trio R&B band was a sensation even before their official debut. The sales of their debut album was on top of the charts along with super figures in the local pop music scene such as Seo Taiji, Shing Seung-hoon and Lee Soo-young. However, the actual members of the band did not appear on television or concert stages for quite a long time since their debut creating a mystic faceless image of the band.
Their debut song was first launched on a mobile telephone service along with the music video. The 3-edition music video also attracted many viewers by providing bonus clips like making of the film and NG materials.
Music producers Lee Kyung-seob and Park Keun-tae who are famous for producing music for Shin Seung-hoon, Cho Sung-mo, Lee Jeong-hyun, Sung Si-kyung and so on, were in charge of making the debut album for the newcomers. The title song of the album �Timelss� is an R&B ballad number. The sophisticated sounds and melodies of the song matched to the hear-rending sentiment of Korean music lovers rising to the top of the charts immediately after being introduced.
The male trio was awarded best newcomers� prizes in the year-end awarding ceremonies.

I'm in love with them

[NRGchick]

Let's keep this thread alive , SG fans!

[Ida]

I love SG Wannabe especially their song, "Sal Da Ga" (such a beautiful song >_<)

But yeah, honestly speaking I do not know why most people call them "unattractive". Even though admittingly compared to other stars they are somewhat lacking in that area but if it was in real life and I see them walking down the street...the first thing that will pop in my head is "Cute asian guys!" lol, just my two cents.

I am currently looking for their newest album, can anybody help me out?
