The group god (G.O.D) revealed the behind story of their debut song ‘Dear Mother’.
god appeared on tvN’s ‘You Quiz on the Block’, which aired on the followingnoon of the 7th. Regarding ‘Dear Mother’, Park Jun-hyeong said, “Actually, this is my mother’s story, but originally it was japchae, not jajangmyeon. When my mother was working in the United States, Koreans gathered together and shared the food they brought. At that time, my mother He packed a side dish and brought it to me, but if I left half for my mother to eat, she put it in my lunchbox as a side dish when I went to school. Modifying it to suit Korean sentiment was ‘Dear Mother’,” he explained.
god also talked regarding their first impressions of each other. “At the time, the producer was Park Jin-young, but we had a friend who was tall and had a small face and a physique like Jung Woo-sung, so we waited for the last member, but following meeting him for the first time, I was taken aback.” I expected it because there were four of them who had everything I had never seen or heard of in[#1]but it was shocking to see them wearing rags.”
With the success of Korea’s first parenting entertainment ‘god’s childcare diary’ and the second full-length album that captivated the public with numerous hit songs, god became a ‘national group’. After that, the reunion was successful. Regarding this, Kim Tae-woo said, “It wasn’t possible because of the will of the members alone, and each of them had their own company and plan, so it wasn’t easy to match it, but we worked hard and didn’t give up.”
Yoon Kye-sang said, “Because we are so like family, they would rather understand.” I didn’t talk deeply and kept silent, so a misunderstanding arose and a long time had passed. Even so, the members held out their hands once more as if nothing had happened. While preparing for the promotion, I was hospitalized for meningitis. The hospital said it was too dangerous, but as soon as the door opened, I saw the members and fans and realized that they were really my people and that the love we received was like a miracle.”
god said, “We will hold a concert in Seoul from the 9th to the 11th. We named it ‘ON’ to mean that we will start once more as if the lights were turned off, and Taewoo Kim gathered the members and Hoyoung Son participated in directing.”
