(Central News Agency reporter Wang Hsin-yu, Taipei 29th) Korean YouTuber Kim Jin-gu, with millions of subscribers, today released her new song "Ah Jin-ja." The lyrics incorporate everyday Taiwanese life, such as "waiting endlessly for a red light on Civic Boulevard" and "checking 200 invoices without winning anything," putting daily experiences into the song.
According to information provided by her record company, Kim Jin-gu stated that "Ah Jin-ja" comes from a Korean verbal tic, similar in tone to the Taiwanese "Hoh-yo, really!" She often feels like shouting it when things don't go her way.
Kim Jin-gu mentioned that transitioning from a YouTuber to a singer, "If last year's 'Taipei Love' was a love letter to Taiwan, then this year's 'Ah Jin-ja' is my survival guide in Taiwan."
Kim Jin-gu laughed, saying that incidents like waiting endlessly for a red light on Civic Boulevard, checking 200 invoices without winning anything, forgetting to say no coriander when ordering food, and the breakfast shop auntie not calling her a beauty are all part of daily life in Taiwan. "Normally, I record life with a camera; now I want to share my perspective through lyrics."
"Ah Jin-ja" was digitally released globally today, and its music video is also available on YouTube. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150429
