Article: Junhee, daughter of the late Choi Jin Shil, expresses discomfort over Swings lyrics

Source: YTN via Nate

Actress Choi Jin Shil commit suicide in 2008, leaving behind two children, Hwanhee and Junhee. In the context of Swings' lyrics, 'Jin Shil' also means 'truth'.

2010 Lyrics:
The uncomfortable truth (jin shil)? You're all just Hwanhee and Junhee
 There is no truth (jin shil), you're the only ones left

Junhee: I'm sorry and I know it's wrong to bring back something that happened in the past but it's my oppa and I who have to carry this wound for the rest of our lives. I don't understand why people tell us that it's all in the past. I don't watch 'High School Rapper' because of Swings and barely anything rap related because it makes me angry. When he apologized, it was more because he thought he didn't think it would hurt us and I was young then and didn't know better but thinking about it now, what he said about my family was so ridiculous, wouldn't you agree? Even if it happened in the past, I'm still angry and hurt over it. Asking us why we're still angry about it is being inconsiderate of the people his words actually hurt.

1. [+6,051, -20] Can we please keep this f*cker off of TV?

2. [+5,729, -19] How can you write lyrics like this about a mother who passed on... utter trash ã…¡ã…¡

3. [+4,859, -16] Tsk tsk... I'm so upset for them all because of Swings, aigoo!!!!!

4. [+443, -0] Please take his picture down, it's making me want to puke ã… ã… 

5. [+395, -0] Wow I really never had any interest towards Swings but you'd have to be crazy to write lyrics like that and think it's okay? An apology is not enough. Words he spat out through that brainless head of his are words that will traumatize those two kids for the rest of their lives. Absolutely disgusting. Disgusting that he's allowed on TV to make money still. I'm so enraged by him.

6. [+371, -0] He took another's pain as laughing matter

7. [+352, -0] ã…‹ã…‹ It's amazing... that those lyrics came from the head of a functioning adult...

8. [+238, -0] I don't know who this Swings guy is but his parents should've taught him better than to live life like this

9. [+186, -0] To all of you complaining that he apologized and let bygones be bygones, do you think an apology is enough to make up for the suffering that the children will have to carry for the rest of their lives? They'll have to live with the memories of these lyrics forever

10. [+145, -0] I know it's wrong to say this but he acts just as he looks... trash

11. [+137, -2] Junhee-ya, be the better person and let it go. It's because he's got a pig head with no brain.

but why the daughter commented now, after 7 years about lyrics written in 2010?

did he use those lyrics again?

According to the article above, she was young so she did not understand the matter so she took no big deal about it. Now she is older she realized the seriousness of the controversy. I also saw "High School Rapper" so I think either she was asked because Swings appeared there, or she saw him there and couldn't stand it, or people ask her about the controversy more often because Swings started to be in TV again, so she vented up her frustration.

She was really young then (like 7 years old) so its not like she could have been out there making statements and stuff, she probably had the reality of how shitty that was dampened down by the people around her, since she was literally a child who's mother had committed suicide and they likely didn't want to make her have to relive that experience over and over again.

 

But now she has to see this man on TV and through other media and she's able to understand that he literally used her family's suffering as a punch line in a stupid rap and now she's old enough to speak out on it so its understandable she would say something about it.

She can talk about it anytime she wants, even after decades. There is no expiration date on traumatizing experiences.

I don't really get the lyrics? Is he really mocking them? Or is he just using their situation to express something?

He's using a play on what their mothers' name mean and how she committed suicide Essentially leaving them alone to correlate to how media has caused truth to leave society.

 

It is pretty damn disrespectful.

I agree that it must be hurtful for the children. But using a well know tragic event in the history of a country to emphasize and give more impact to an idea is something that is used in rap lyrics. His mistake was making it personal with the kids.

he used this lyrics to diss another rapper. if ur mom suicided and someone use it just to make pun with her name, wouldn't you be offended?

It's not even historic event of country, just  suicide of a famous actress. nobody has right to drag her children just to give more impact
