just finished watching today's LL. tim sung a bit of FTTS's "Missing You" with modified lyrics. and he was up against 3 guys during "nol nawa". haha... he looked so handsome at the end with his dressy outfit along with sweet smile and dimples. also, how during the hwanhee vs. timmy fight, when hwanhee realized that timmy's shirt was hoisted all the way up, he pulled it back down for tim... how sweet! that was so cute!!

anna: haha... same here... all these perfect guys... where are they in real life?!?! and if you read the really long and informative bio, you'll be even more wowed. it used to be here before soompi went down and everything was re-created. maybe it's still at the Lost In Tim forum.

[Guest heartdrops]

Oh, Lisa! If you can find it again, please post of tell me! I am so interested to learn more about him! xD

EDIT:

my 2960th post! wheeeee...

[Guest chubbyone]

I'm so impressed by Tim. He's really someone to

die for.

[Guest mintoro]

I LOVE his new song ... Na Hon Ja Man

track 6 in his vol 3

i dun understand what he sang but sounds lonely ..

[dreamweaver]

^ that's one of my fave tracks as well. i believe "na honjaman" means "i'm by myself" or "i'm alone" since the "honjaman" part means "one person". so, you're right that he sounds lonely. i love his emotional expressions in his songs.

[Guest mintoro]

wow... are u korean??? or u're learning korean???

well... Tim is really a talented ballad singer...

but before he came back to korea does he speaks korea in US?

coz i rmb last time i see him on one show... he's a bit blur... abit only

[dreamweaver]

^ no, i'm not korean. but i've managed to pick up bits and pieces through the shows/dramas i watch or songs i listen to. i'd love to learn the language.

yup, he sure is. but people don't seem to know too much about him or his music. they just know his "sarang hamnida", which is a shame, because he has sooo many other great songs. ummm... i don't think he spoke much korean in the US. i remember reading an article how he recorded "sarang hamnida" sooo many times because his pronunciation was off or something. so, i think he picked up most of his korean after going to korea.

[dreamweaver]

well, looks like Harusae... is the first track timmy will be performing!! amazing perf. today... a must watch! it took my breath away during the parts when his voice really soared... and he was all decked out in a classy dressy outfit! so handsome and suave. <33333

Great!! I love Haru SaE!!

[Guest truexskills]

whyt did his album fall out of the top 20 like 2 weeks after its debut?

it will most likely come back up when his promotional activities start rolling but..i was surpsied

[dreamweaver]

^ well, i think it's mainly because he hasn't started to promote it till now. he was in the US sometime during those 2 weeks. i hope he'll get his album sales up now that he's promoting his 3rd jib.

also, keep in mind that timmy is a ballads singer and not everyone is into ballads. some might find his album "bland" because it mostly consists of the same genre. so, timmy's fans/audience could be a "limited crowd", which is unfortunate. =0 in any case, i love ballads and i love timmy's voice.

[Guest kooky]

Now that he's back in Korea doing promotions, his album should climb right back up on the charts.

I adore Tim, but that top has got to go.
