On May 28th, Jung Joon Young and Youhna released an intense and emotional power-ballad duet called “Just The Way You Are“. Like “Eternal Sunshine“ (Jung Joon Young’s September 2013 release) and “없어“ (Younha’s December 2013 release featuring 이루펀트), the song reaches through your speakers, grabs on to your feels and shakes them around for 4 minutes and 23 seconds.
The video tells the story of two young children with slightly unconventional interests who are not accepted by their respective mothers who find acceptance and a connection in each other. There are moments where your heart will hurt for them but if you stick it out to the end, you’ll be rewarded.
The lyrics of the song match the video perfectly, adding a tender, personal and poignant layer to the entire experience. The last section roughly translates to:
“Even if we lack, it’s okay
Even if we’re odd, it’s okay
We’re showing each other things that can’t be known
We’re beautiful just the way we are” {2}
This adds a vital layer, making the entire experience one of the most moving music video experiences of the year. This is not to be missed, as it is the music you should be listening to even if like me you don’t always get down for ballads. 10 out 10, you’ll be sorry if you miss this one.
