what lee hi feel with this song is exactly what the composer feel...rest in peace kim jonghyun, your art will never be forgotten, thankyou for your dedication.
Lee 온유 but in the end, it was Jonghyun's thought's and sufferring. He's been very vocal about it and even wrote it as song lyrics and now he's gone coz nobody can save him. It's too painful to think that even Lee Hi can tell the song is about sufferring and breathing afterall the you've been through that suffocates you. Jonghyun will forever be a legend though he left so soon, his music will forever remain. And I'm happy to think Lee Hi chose the song without the knowledge of Jonghyun was the one writing it at first and thought that she really like the song a lot and to think Jonghyun is a fan of her. I just wish he lived coz I still want to see him and Hayi collaborate in a happy song but sadly he chose to let go. He sufferred enough so rest peacefully angel. You will forever remain in our hearts.
Breathe is actually the first song that captured my heart right away after I listened to it. Different from any other Hi's songs that show off her vocal, Breathe is more like her telling people about what is deep inside her heart, that she doesn't have to worry about her techniques or her pitches and sing her heart out instead, be honest with her heart and mind. After listening to her explanation, I can understand why she always sing Breathe impeccably, she sang it with her heart. And thanks to Jonghyun who wrote the lyrics, who put everyone's concerns in a simple word : breathe, that sometimes we mind a lot about ourselves that we forget to breathe normally. I'm never gonna listen to this song the same way as before, cause it reminds me of how stressful it was for Jonghyun when he wrote that. Rest in peace, hyung. You'll be loved as always. through your musics now
Jonghyun wrote this song to save those experiencing depression/loneliness, but there's no one have to save him, makes me feel so sorry for this beautiful soul. Jonghyun oppa you did very well. I miss you so so much 😢😭 I just hope you're in a better place now, rest well. You've worked hard.
the fact that she said she didn't understand at first that she was having panic attacks really hurt my heart. its very strong of her to be open and honest about what she goes through so more and more people have discussions about their mental health and recognize what they are feeling. if you are reading this please know that you are not alone. its okay to ask for help and admit you are not doing well. it can be hard to do but it is one of the first steps to healing. thank you lee hi and of course jonghyun 💕 수고했어요
All i know if ure have a problem,but u cant even tellin it even with one person, ure already depressed ,not only sad. bc u think its just useless to tell them, noone listen to you, thats why,when our friend still able to talk with us about their problem, just listen to them. Lee hi, u can do it. Ur song "breath" is always motivated me and telling myself its okay to cryin, to fall. Bc those who loves us,always with us💜
I suffer from panic attacks too, and This song comforted me even before I knew the back story and now that I've found out that she too went through what I've went through and wanted to dedicate a song to help people like me makes me hold this song even more dear.
Maybe it's just me or the fact that we don't really ever see YG sit down and speak with his artists like this but I feel like there's an obvious stark difference between the way that YG speaks to his artists and the way that JYP speaks to his artists. Lee Hi isn't even signed to JYP and yet you can see how he listens with care while she's talking. He could very well treat all of his artists like shit for all I know and YG could be a total angel, this is just all speculation from what I've seen what they both portray to the public. But there's a very different vibe that I feel from the both of them when they're talking to the artists under their label.
Emily Jenkins not really defending YG but I mean in this context JYP has his tv show and appears in some tv show while YG, didn't only appear in survival show? So ppl won't get the chance of seeing how he talks to his artists.
No one knows how jyp really treats his artists tho. From what i know jimin who won 1st over hayi, who decided to join JYP, also never really made it big.
Jimin still adores JYP. He actually did everything she wanted him to do and still gave her the opportunities to perform on stage even when she wasn't releasing new music. Sometimes, singers are happier with a moderate type of success as long as they get to perform on stage whenever they like rather than have huge success then get locked up. Jimin hasn't also been lucky with the public's perception of her music. Ahyeon was on kpopstar too with Jimin and Lee Hi and shes slowly but steadily becoming JYP's #1 soloist. Sometimes, its about luck and public's reaction to the songs. Jimin loves everything she does at JYP and is happy despite their limitations.
You know I watched her concert in my country and you could tell that she always wanted to sing onstage and to stop her from doing that, to stop her from breathing... is the cruelest thing you can do to her.
Wow, amazing . . . Breathe is the culmination of how Jonghyun felt, his feelings. But through writing his feelings down, he was able to comfort not only the listeners but also the singer herself . . . absolutely beautiful❤️ ❤️
Okay, maybe y'all didn't get what Hi said. Even she acknowledges that her first album was made in a rush, and wasn't up to par with how it's supposed to. She didn't also do any training after signing. I know if you're a fan, it is frustrating if you don't see your favorite artist. They get frustrated too, as we can see from Hi. However, it seems to me that YG only wants to put out what he considers the best from his artists. It may be good enough for us, but not for him or the standards he set. Therefore they need to go on more training. You've got to look at it both ways. He doesn't just lock up his artists because he wants to. You've got to look at it from a business perspective too. An artist may bring money into the company when they're new like Hi, but if she doesn't level her skills up, there's always somebody who can top her off. That's what YG wants not to happen. She is so special. I'm excited to see how much she's grown as an artist. 😍
Miss Hajar thanks. I just don't like it whenever YG gets blamed for every little thing that goes on with the artists. Yes, he's got some control over them, but to what extent.. I bet nobody really knows unless you're an insider. No agency is perfect imo. But let's also acknowledge that perfection takes time and you've got to have a special edge in order to survive their cutthroat industry. YG is developing Hi to be an artist, not just a singer. And for sure, you can't be an artist overnight.
The problem is not the album though. Lee Hi has other interviews where she specifically talked about what made her depressed in the 3 years hiatus. It wasn't just that the album wasn't ready, it was the fact that YG refused to let her do any other work or sing any songs in the meantime. You can't expect Lee Hi to improve in confidence and skills unless she is practicing in front of an audience. YG could have let her release cover songs on the internet, feature on other artists' music or simply do OSTs. She could have done more more festivals and appeared in university concerts. She could have appeared as a guest on programs (she actually has a very funny dry sense of humor). Lee Hi herself said that in the 3 yrs hiatus many singers offered to do collaborations with her but YG refused them. One legendary Korean singer even said that he really wants to do a collab with her on TV. She could have done those without having to actively promote the music. The reason why Lee Hi has improved so much today is because since 2016, she has been performing in concerts and universities as well as featuring on music with other singers and rappers. However, she only accomplished this because she took care of her own career and started networking. She made friends in the industry alongside Tablo who have been helping her find better opportunities. Tablo, Dok2, Kunst, Zion, and Dean have literally taken her under their wings and are doing a better job giving her opportunities to sing than YG himself. More importantly, this 3 year hiatus led her to lose almost half of her fanbase. Her first album sold over 20K physical copies.. she was the second highest female solo singer in terms of physical albums sold that year after IU. Not even the iconic Lee Hyori sold more than her. Her second album sold a little over 8K physical copies. Her digital sales were still amazing and higher than even CL's digital sales, MOBB's sales or Bobby's sales yet it was still lower than her sales for the songs she released in the first album. She is basically forced now to restarted from the bottom and try to establish a strong fanbase all over again. Despite the fact that her latest album's downloads are over 4 million which is greater than Ikon's albums sales, you barely see YG promoting her accomplishments or collabs on their website. All they talk about is BigBang, CL, iKon and Blackpink even though Lee Hi is one of their top 3 digital sellers if you think about it.
basboosa I'm looking at this at an objective standpoint. I won't defend YG, nor am I trying to. I'll throw that question back at you. Since Hayi is one of their money makers, then why wouldn't YG take advantage of that? If it's just business they're looking into, then yeah. They can have Hayi release as much singles as she wants right? The big question is why haven't they done that? It was partly answered by this video. I'm also sad to know that she got depressed because she couldn't do what she loves. That's the worst thing you can take away from someone. But think again. Maybe what they're building for her is more of a solid foundation so she had to be on hiatus for that long, rather than be popular for just a few years then be forgotten because another better singer emerged. I agree with you that she could have done covers and what not while she was on hiatus, but I haven't seen any YG artist do that though.. Except AKMU but they weren't really on hiatus back then.
YG needs to provide better mental care for his artists. Most of them seemed to be in deep depression and that ended up causing their careers, or that most of them ended up leaving the agency.
KY L I'm a YG stan and this is true. Bom took anti-depression meds from the US which was banned in Korea. TOP is also depressed. GD also had depression at times. Now, Lee Hi revealed she is having troubles too.
Because YG makes them go through a draining training process literally the hardest one in Kpop and then take away all opportunities for them. He never allows his artists to shine. He makes empty promises. Hayi and so many other people deserve better.
@@naerig.7266 But i think im proud to be YGstan If you want to why you will sometimes Yang hyunsuk is a good person you dont know him so dont talk a bullshit lee hi leave YG but she's never talk bad about YG even all of YG artist who leave YG if you want to now well you have to see a video lee hi a forget the chanel and dont forget to see the comment so dont talk if you dont know it just SHUTT UPPP!! Bullshitt
@@naerig.7266 I would point hand at Knetz and Kmedia rather than YG. YG would have been extra-harsh on their training (he may have good deeds but surely unnecessary) but their emotional scars and insecurities are mostly caused by Kmedia and Knetz' hatred and made-up rumors.
So many idols must feel like her. Not being able to do what they want which for most is perform for their fans. We joke about the dungeons but its real and makes an effect on them. I hope JYP is really listening because Jimin out right called him out this week and she's been bearing that for a long while now
really can relate what Hi said. rarely open to others and peoples think that you are doing great. instead, all you need is a hug, a support, a shoulder to cry on.
Honestly I watched this like on saturday or sunday and I was surprised 'breathe' was written by Jonghyun because he always seemed so bright and cheerful to me when I saw him on variety shows..... and on monday when I read that he died.. I just couldn't hold my tears...... I wish I could have been more than a fan from overseas idk maybe a friend that he could depend on.. but I know he had many friends, his family, members,.... if only we could have been there for you...... well you've worked hard Jonghyun... we will forever miss and love you.... Rip :(
I feel it too Lee Hi at times when i want to stay strong but my heart is aching due to stress & problems & disappointments. My tears won't fall even when i have the time to cry. I feel numb everytime it happens to me. When your heart is aching, you will not be able to breathe properly. You need to cry it out loud to someone you trust. Tell them what you feel.
I can totally relate leehi I hate crying in front of others, its like showing my weak spot (tho some might call it ridiculous, yes i know) never talk about my problems and stuffs to family or friends Basically everyone thinks im a lucky person who does everything without any problem or stress but little do they know its actually vice versa
the fact that she can open easily to jyp but not to yg, JYP is such a good sajangnim and i heard he had counselors for his artists when the need it! I love him (yg rat take exemple ok)
I feel you Hayi *sigh* I love the song so much, it helped a lot in tough times(esp. at work). I just listen to it and cry alone in the middle of the night to lessen the pain, knowing there is Hayi comforting me and experienced the same situation, i feel at ease and pray for everyone thats trying to destroy my inner peace. Love you Hayi
this song even more make sense to me.. because i finally know what hayi felt at that time.. song about breathing.. breathe.. thank you so much hayi.. i'm wishing happiness & healthiness to you, you are doing a great job..♡
Why did I suddenly see this in my reccs again? 😭😭😭 Kim Jonghyun and Lee Hi gave us a masterpiece... Jjong wrote this song to comfort the people who feels the same way he did and it did comforted a lot of people it really saddens me how he made us happy but deep inside he was lonely...
It's all because of jonghyun who wrote tht song.His and every song contains the even unnoticed feelings and emotions inside the human.when his songs gets released,we realizes,"how we felt " and what our emotions are.He touches the souls.lots of love and respect to our jonghyun ❤️ 💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎
She is so courageous to tell her story. Hope the Korean fans stop being so hard on their stars! You have so many great and talented performers. Just embrace them all and support them.
All the song that junghyun composed I think all about him to comfort himself and other who might think like him...rest in peace..good artist always be remember
and jyp's own company is doing the same thing to 15&, missA, nak joon and so many others... hopefully he advocates a change within the company once again help out those that are really able to shine :)
ho zhong hng the sad thing is that even JYP himself have to fight to get a comeback from the company. his Who's your mama comeback was a 2 years effort. many of his songs were rejected by the company eventhough he hold some share in JYP Entertainment. Many people mistaken that JYP is the decision maker of the company. actually he is just an artist under JYP Entertainment who happens to produce music. He said himself he is not incharged of marketing of the company, but merely the creative direction of it. He is not the CEO anymore. and i really hope what you said will happen. that JYP will be able to change the company better
15& still had it better because at least they were allowed to go and sing in universities and concerts after they were signed. Lee hi wasn't even allowed to do that. They were given opportunities to sing covers of famous songs are post them on the internet. She wasn't allowed to do that.
she only started performing in universities and festivals over the past 12 months. I was talking before about the fact that Lee Hi should have already done that after signing up with YG and during her 3 year hiatus so that she would have had an opportunity to develop her skills and fanbase the way 15& have been doing. Instead, thanks to being completely out of the public eye, she ended up losing most of her fanbase hence why her physical album sales for Seoulite were half of what she sold with her debut album. Her digitals are still amazing and shes still the biggest music seller at YG after AKMU among all NEW generation YG groups (ikon, BP, Winner and the individual members like Bobby and Mino). However that doesnt change the fact that she lost a very supportive fanbase. The reason she has been going around the country performing over the last 12 months is because she has to develop her fanbase from zero all over again thanks to YG's crappy management and lack of promotion during her 3 yrs hiatus. As for her "reality show", lets not kid around. Its just a simple little show about makeup. There is nothing interesting or exciting about it. That show is sweet but it has no substance and lacks an entertainment value. In fact, Lee Hi is probably the most entertaining person on it thanks to her strong sense of humor that YG refuses to acknowledge because it doesn't fit with the "aegyo" image he wants his girls (like BP) to have. Dara and Suhyun are sweet but havent shown any strong sense of humor that could have made the show actually entertaining. Suhyun looks too timid around Dara that all she does is laugh to Lee Hi's jokes without creating any banter. Dara is Dara..sweet and pretty but nothing exciting. YG hasn't even bothered promote the show or release any articles on the girls' activities on it. In fact, YG hasn't even bothered promote Lee Hi's university performances over the past 12 months or the fact that she worked with Gallant - a freaking Grammy Award nominee and one of US's most respected and critically acclaimed young RnB singers -. She even got to feature a lot in his documentary. YG did NOT release a single article on this or mediaplay what she did even though she just collaborated with a well-respected and acknowledged American singer/songwriter. If BP, ikon or Winner ever got a chance to collaborate with Gallant or anyone like him, you can bet YG would have all news outlet reporting on it as if his idols have already conquered America.
Feels like she and jonghyun have the same hardship. I think that's why Jonghyun approved to create the song for her to sing. Cheer up Lee Hi. Fighting!
oh fuck this brought tears to my eyes because its exactly what Lee Hi wanted it to be for me...i have the same experience of going all day feeling as though i have trouble breathing and...ohmygod, thank you Lee Hi, thank you.
Nadie lo notó pero Hi también estuvo sufriendo y lo pasó mal. Sí, rompe aún más el corazón saber que Jonghyun oppa se sentía igual y tampoco lo sabían los demás. A los dos artistas maravillosos, a la dulce chica que sigue con nosotros y al talentoso ángel que ahora está en el cielo❤️
YG, it hurts to see Hi like this. After debut she got hiatus for 3 and started to promote then again on hiatus. how long does your artists needs to go on hiatus when they don't want to?
cause they aren't ready to come back with good music. Letting artists come back willy nilly means their albums are of inferior quality. I'd rather wait for a great album than hear mediocre ones every 5 months.
First of all, Lee Hi's Seoulite album was produced in 3-4 months after YG handed her over to Tablo because he had no idea what to do with her music or what direction to go for. So yes with dedication and resourcefulness, you could make a quality album in less than 5 months. Secondly, you don't need to come back with an album every 5 months. That is almost unheard off. However, a good company would release 1-2 singles per year by their artist to promote them and help build their fanbase. A good company would allow them to perform in music festivals and concerts so that they can improve their performance skills and develop a loyal fan-following. Look at Dean, he barely promoted on TV yet he still was able to develop a huge fanbase and increase his album sales thanks to all the performances he did at concerts and music festivals. One of his songs called "half moon" stayed in the charts for 2 years and sold millions because he was consistently performing it at music festivals and concerts so new people kept hearing it and downloading it. Even he himself said that this song's sales and chart longevity surpassed his expectations. YG sadly has no idea how to promote a soloist like Lee Hi just like he had no idea how to promote Gummy. Interestingly, now that Gummy is out of YG, shes doing much much better and releasing songs at least once a year with her songs charting at #1 and achieving insanely high sales.
I know this song early than about jonghyun. Everyday after this single breath is release i heard this song without crying and enjoy the ballad music and after i know about that jonghyun write this song and i heard again this song and understand the meaning of this song. Its so heartbreaking guys. Im crying. The meaning of this song is very2 touching. #restinpeace #udidwell
9:30pm wednesday 31/3/2021. I just tried breathing on a plastic bag and I don’t know why but maybe I’m feeling very comforted right know after that breathing or it’s just my mind believing that I’m okay bc I have never breathed on a plastic bag before and every time I had a attack I had just cried and breathed hard but tonight after watching this performance again ( I have watched it tons before) I had a sudden breakdown and I completely was shorted of breath 🤍🌸
I don't think she would ever leave YG LOL, YG gives most of their percent to their artist. YG is known to give their artists lots of money. I'm not saying ohh money is important. I can't assume about the contact but, YG Did a good job with a contract thing their artist should get paid more.most company takes most of the percentage of their album or income based on how much albums or anything that sales. Im not sure about jYP ENT. I would love to see lee hi going to jyp company because -Jimin and baek ayeon is there but their not doing a great job promoting jimmy. At least Baek Ayeon is getting recongization from two of her songs. Lee Hi do deserve better - but YG puts good care for trainees or idols who were on kpop star because, YG picked them to be in their company. Besides that YG got permission from their parents too.
Lee Hi has spoken like, on behalf of many YG artists 😂. She just proved that YG himself is not the one locking them up in the "dungeon". He wants the artists to be on their highest level and be ready for what they are going to do. Like Hi said, she was frustrated that she was not good enough, that was what YG was trying to do, making them "good enough" to satisfy the artists. It is really satisfying seeing your work doing great, so I wish all the best to Lee Hi.
Am I the lnly one who gets emotional when hearing this song due to Jonghyun and how he must had felt? If you feel like that, please ask for help, I am really serious when I say that there's people who really care about you, that you matter, please, stay for you and for those who matter to you, things can get better, WILL get better
I was waiting for her to mention Jonghyun (being the composer of the song;) and how this song came to be sang by her (when she and Jjong were from different agencies), but it never was explained in this so-called "behind story." Or is there another video that reveals this important information?

Yoo Fira feel free to listen my cover of breath ;)
So proud of Jonghyun (SHINee) because he wrote that song (Breathe) for Lee Hi. U do a great job Jonghyun. :)
Lee 온유 but in the end, it was Jonghyun's thought's and sufferring. He's been very vocal about it and even wrote it as song lyrics and now he's gone coz nobody can save him. It's too painful to think that even Lee Hi can tell the song is about sufferring and breathing afterall the you've been through that suffocates you.

You will forever remain in our hearts.
Janine Vendiola Im hurt. Im sorry.
Oh my god...... this mad me cried...
jennanuntavijan same. Since im shawol almost 9 years. 😢
Giulia Chiave i can accept it already. 😌
Breathe is actually the first song that captured my heart right away after I listened to it.

I'm never gonna listen to this song the same way as before, cause it reminds me of how stressful it was for Jonghyun when he wrote that. Rest in peace, hyung. You'll be loved as always. through your musics now
Lee hi was comforted from "Breathe" but Jonghyun the writer of the song didn't. Rip 😭
Shane Mcgregor he wrote it to comfort people that feel the same as him, that struggle from having a hard time to breathe, he never put himself first
His note read: "If I can't help myself breathe properly, it's better not to breathe at all."
Omg ur comment just made me burst into tears
N B I’m sorry but I can’t help making reference to his last words. All the lyrics he wrote were about himself.
Waiting for his last album to be released. Can’t wait to read the lyrics.
Jonghyun wrote this song to save those experiencing depression/loneliness, but there's no one have to save him, makes me feel so sorry for this beautiful soul. Jonghyun oppa you did very well. I miss you so so much 😢😭 I just hope you're in a better place now, rest well. You've worked hard.
the fact that she said she didn't understand at first that she was having panic attacks really hurt my heart. its very strong of her to be open and honest about what she goes through so more and more people have discussions about their mental health and recognize what they are feeling. if you are reading this please know that you are not alone. its okay to ask for help and admit you are not doing well. it can be hard to do but it is one of the first steps to healing. thank you lee hi and of course jonghyun 💕 수고했어요
Never heard such beautiful and comforting lyrics. Credit goes to Jonghyun (SHINee)
Thank you jonghyun for this masterpiece😢 rest in peace😢
HNE T hi feel free to listen my cover of breath
OK soooooo It's a collab between the big 3 right now. SM's song(Jonghyun), YG's artist(Lee Hi), and JYP all in one place. :D
All i know if ure have a problem,but u cant even tellin it even with one person, ure already depressed ,not only sad. bc u think its just useless to tell them, noone listen to you, thats why,when our friend still able to talk with us about their problem, just listen to them. Lee hi, u can do it. Ur song "breath" is always motivated me and telling myself its okay to cryin, to fall. Bc those who loves us,always with us💜
Jonghyun mustve felt the same too😭💔💔
I suffer from panic attacks too, and This song comforted me even before I knew the back story and now that I've found out that she too went through what I've went through and wanted to dedicate a song to help people like me makes me hold this song even more dear.
Jonghyun did a great job, he did well...rip.
feel like she talked in behave of JongHyun..rip oppa..
Maybe it's just me or the fact that we don't really ever see YG sit down and speak with his artists like this but I feel like there's an obvious stark difference between the way that YG speaks to his artists and the way that JYP speaks to his artists.

Emily Jenkins not really defending YG but I mean in this context JYP has his tv show and appears in some tv show while YG, didn't only appear in survival show? So ppl won't get the chance of seeing how he talks to his artists.
urik19 This is what i was about to say, they're on a TV show....so you can never know!
No one knows how jyp really treats his artists tho. From what i know jimin who won 1st over hayi, who decided to join JYP, also never really made it big.
u can not see but hear about how park jinyoung fellow coworkers talk about him, even after leaving the company stay in touch with him, etc
Jimin still adores JYP. He actually did everything she wanted him to do and still gave her the opportunities to perform on stage even when she wasn't releasing new music. Sometimes, singers are happier with a moderate type of success as long as they get to perform on stage whenever they like rather than have huge success then get locked up. Jimin hasn't also been lucky with the public's perception of her music. Ahyeon was on kpopstar too with Jimin and Lee Hi and shes slowly but steadily becoming JYP's #1 soloist. Sometimes, its about luck and public's reaction to the songs. Jimin loves everything she does at JYP and is happy despite their limitations.
You know I watched her concert in my country and you could tell that she always wanted to sing onstage and to stop her from doing that, to stop her from breathing... is the cruelest thing you can do to her.
Shout out to her boss on her agency entertainment to take good care of this goddess in front of many fans and people. Thank you!!!
you are wildin if you think YG takes a good care of her when he locked her in the dungeon for years
The guy comforting her in this video is not her boss/from her agency
Wow, amazing . . . Breathe is the culmination of how Jonghyun felt, his feelings. But through writing his feelings down, he was able to comfort not only the listeners but also the singer herself . . . absolutely beautiful❤️ ❤️
the song writer and composer became an angel
Bling Bling Jonghyun! :) Our Angel. Thanks for All.

Jaebeom's secret GF same thought.. its wasnt because of YG it was because of self satisfaction on performing..
Finally somebody gets it! It's so frustrating see so many people complain without giving it a deep thought.
The problem is not the album though. Lee Hi has other interviews where she specifically talked about what made her depressed in the 3 years hiatus. It wasn't just that the album wasn't ready, it was the fact that YG refused to let her do any other work or sing any songs in the meantime. You can't expect Lee Hi to improve in confidence and skills unless she is practicing in front of an audience. YG could have let her release cover songs on the internet, feature on other artists' music or simply do OSTs. She could have done more more festivals and appeared in university concerts. She could have appeared as a guest on programs (she actually has a very funny dry sense of humor). Lee Hi herself said that in the 3 yrs hiatus many singers offered to do collaborations with her but YG refused them. One legendary Korean singer even said that he really wants to do a collab with her on TV. She could have done those without having to actively promote the music. The reason why Lee Hi has improved so much today is because since 2016, she has been performing in concerts and universities as well as featuring on music with other singers and rappers. However, she only accomplished this because she took care of her own career and started networking. She made friends in the industry alongside Tablo who have been helping her find better opportunities. Tablo, Dok2, Kunst, Zion, and Dean have literally taken her under their wings and are doing a better job giving her opportunities to sing than YG himself. More importantly, this 3 year hiatus led her to lose almost half of her fanbase. Her first album sold over 20K physical copies.. she was the second highest female solo singer in terms of physical albums sold that year after IU. Not even the iconic Lee Hyori sold more than her. Her second album sold a little over 8K physical copies. Her digital sales were still amazing and higher than even CL's digital sales, MOBB's sales or Bobby's sales yet it was still lower than her sales for the songs she released in the first album. She is basically forced now to restarted from the bottom and try to establish a strong fanbase all over again. Despite the fact that her latest album's downloads are over 4 million which is greater than Ikon's albums sales, you barely see YG promoting her accomplishments or collabs on their website. All they talk about is BigBang, CL, iKon and Blackpink even though Lee Hi is one of their top 3 digital sellers if you think about it.
basboosa I'm looking at this at an objective standpoint. I won't defend YG, nor am I trying to. I'll throw that question back at you. Since Hayi is one of their money makers, then why wouldn't YG take advantage of that? If it's just business they're looking into, then yeah. They can have Hayi release as much singles as she wants right? The big question is why haven't they done that? It was partly answered by this video. I'm also sad to know that she got depressed because she couldn't do what she loves. That's the worst thing you can take away from someone. But think again. Maybe what they're building for her is more of a solid foundation so she had to be on hiatus for that long, rather than be popular for just a few years then be forgotten because another better singer emerged. I agree with you that she could have done covers and what not while she was on hiatus, but I haven't seen any YG artist do that though.. Except AKMU but they weren't really on hiatus back then.
3:35 - 3:42 *jonghyun is exactly like her* 😭😭💔💔
😭😭😭😭😭😭🤧
Jonghyun a piece of art, rest in peace my angel, you did well.
1-Jan-2018
Thanks our JongHyunnie for creating such great music to comfort those suffering stress and depression.
You worked hard. We miss you so much
YG needs to provide better mental care for his artists. Most of them seemed to be in deep depression and that ended up causing their careers, or that most of them ended up leaving the agency.
KY L I'm a YG stan and this is true. Bom took anti-depression meds from the US which was banned in Korea. TOP is also depressed. GD also had depression at times. Now, Lee Hi revealed she is having troubles too.
KY L he overworks them and never uses a really positive mentoring
Because YG makes them go through a draining training process literally the hardest one in Kpop and then take away all opportunities for them. He never allows his artists to shine. He makes empty promises. Hayi and so many other people deserve better.
@@naerig.7266 But i think im proud to be YGstan If you want to why you will sometimes Yang hyunsuk is a good person you dont know him so dont talk a bullshit lee hi leave YG but she's never talk bad about YG even all of YG artist who leave YG if you want to now well you have to see a video lee hi a forget the chanel and dont forget to see the comment so dont talk if you dont know it just SHUTT UPPP!! Bullshitt
@@naerig.7266 I would point hand at Knetz and Kmedia rather than YG. YG would have been extra-harsh on their training (he may have good deeds but surely unnecessary) but their emotional scars and insecurities are mostly caused by Kmedia and Knetz' hatred and made-up rumors.
My poor baby lee hi ㅠㅠ
What i like about jyp, he listen to his artist, he sits down and understand them
Lee hi wanted this song could comfort people but...😔😢
So many idols must feel like her. Not being able to do what they want which for most is perform for their fans. We joke about the dungeons but its real and makes an effect on them. I hope JYP is really listening because Jimin out right called him out this week and she's been bearing that for a long while now
really can relate what Hi said. rarely open to others and peoples think that you are doing great. instead, all you need is a hug, a support, a shoulder to cry on.
Honestly I watched this like on saturday or sunday and I was surprised 'breathe' was written by Jonghyun because he always seemed so bright and cheerful to me when I saw him on variety shows..... and on monday when I read that he died.. I just couldn't hold my tears...... I wish I could have been more than a fan from overseas idk maybe a friend that he could depend on.. but I know he had many friends, his family, members,.... if only we could have been there for you...... well you've worked hard Jonghyun... we will forever miss and love you.... Rip :(
i love how she looked at JYP in the eyes telling how much she want someone to listen to her heartbreaking story
I feel it too Lee Hi at times when i want to stay strong but my heart is aching due to stress & problems & disappointments. My tears won't fall even when i have the time to cry. I feel numb everytime it happens to me. When your heart is aching, you will not be able to breathe properly. You need to cry it out loud to someone you trust. Tell them what you feel.
I just like lee hi so much. Her song, her voices, and she is cuteeeeeee.
Words you write down
Words you sing
Words you say to comfort others
Sometimes they are the words you wan to be told too
Thank you Jonghyun for a beautiful song. R.I.P.
This is the only song which makes me tear because of what happened to Jonghyun.I wish he didn’t die
I adore Lee Hi. She really looks lovely here.
I hope you are better now Lee Hi ❤ Jonghyun thank you so much for this amazint son, rest in peace angel ❤❤❤
everytime, every damn time I listen to this song i burst into tears......
Jonghyuna we miss you and please be in peace.
I can totally relate leehi
I hate crying in front of others, its like showing my weak spot (tho some might call it ridiculous, yes i know) never talk about my problems and stuffs to family or friends
Basically everyone thinks im a lucky person who does everything without any problem or stress but little do they know its actually vice versa
the fact that she can open easily to jyp but not to yg, JYP is such a good sajangnim and i heard he had counselors for his artists when the need it! I love him (yg rat take exemple ok)
Jonghyun’s way with words.. seriously he wrote Breathe so beautifully.
Adding the melody.. it’s a masterpiece. 💕
so proud of jonghyun shinee, you've worked hard and thank you for already write this song. and stay happy stay healthy stay shine to Lee hi💚
I feel you Hayi *sigh* I love the song so much, it helped a lot in tough times(esp. at work). I just listen to it and cry alone in the middle of the night to lessen the pain, knowing there is Hayi comforting me and experienced the same situation, i feel at ease and pray for everyone thats trying to destroy my inner peace. Love you Hayi
UGGHH This girl is everything! I hope she is doing much better. She definitely deserves more.
this song even more make sense to me.. because i finally know what hayi felt at that time.. song about breathing.. breathe..
thank you so much hayi.. i'm wishing happiness & healthiness to you, you are doing a great job..♡
This is directly related to the singer and composer, both had trouble breathing figuratively and literally, i miss jong
So glad that Jonghyun's song offered Lee Hi some comfort.
she's precious
Why did I suddenly see this in my reccs again? 😭😭😭 Kim Jonghyun and Lee Hi gave us a masterpiece...
Jjong wrote this song to comfort the people who feels the same way he did and it did comforted a lot of people it really saddens me how he made us happy but deep inside he was lonely...
This is why Breathe is my favourite song.
I’m only at the beginning and I find it very similar/relatable to how I’m feeling rn and this song really has helped a bit
'Breathe' never fails to bring me comfort.
I absolutely love her she’s so human and has such a pretty voice 💕
It's all because of jonghyun who wrote tht song.His and every song contains the even unnoticed feelings and emotions inside the human.when his songs gets released,we realizes,"how we felt " and what our emotions are.He touches the souls.lots of love and respect to our jonghyun ❤️ 💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎❤️💎
Lee HI 언니 I love you and your music so much❤️
She is so courageous to tell her story. Hope the Korean fans stop being so hard on their stars! You have so many great and talented performers. Just embrace them all and support them.
She’s soo beautiful omg😦 how?
All the song that junghyun composed I think all about him to comfort himself and other who might think like him...rest in peace..good artist always be remember
Jonghyun
and jyp's own company is doing the same thing to 15&, missA, nak joon and so many others... hopefully he advocates a change within the company once again help out those that are really able to shine :)
ho zhong hng the sad thing is that even JYP himself have to fight to get a comeback from the company. his Who's your mama comeback was a 2 years effort. many of his songs were rejected by the company eventhough he hold some share in JYP Entertainment. Many people mistaken that JYP is the decision maker of the company. actually he is just an artist under JYP Entertainment who happens to produce music. He said himself he is not incharged of marketing of the company, but merely the creative direction of it. He is not the CEO anymore. and i really hope what you said will happen. that JYP will be able to change the company better
15& still had it better because at least they were allowed to go and sing in universities and concerts after they were signed. Lee hi wasn't even allowed to do that. They were given opportunities to sing covers of famous songs are post them on the internet. She wasn't allowed to do that.
+basboosa lol..lee hi have been singing in some university and she also had some variety show too,,,the only problem is she rarely release new album
she only started performing in universities and festivals over the past 12 months. I was talking before about the fact that Lee Hi should have already done that after signing up with YG and during her 3 year hiatus so that she would have had an opportunity to develop her skills and fanbase the way 15& have been doing. Instead, thanks to being completely out of the public eye, she ended up losing most of her fanbase hence why her physical album sales for Seoulite were half of what she sold with her debut album. Her digitals are still amazing and shes still the biggest music seller at YG after AKMU among all NEW generation YG groups (ikon, BP, Winner and the individual members like Bobby and Mino). However that doesnt change the fact that she lost a very supportive fanbase. The reason she has been going around the country performing over the last 12 months is because she has to develop her fanbase from zero all over again thanks to YG's crappy management and lack of promotion during her 3 yrs hiatus. As for her "reality show", lets not kid around. Its just a simple little show about makeup. There is nothing interesting or exciting about it. That show is sweet but it has no substance and lacks an entertainment value. In fact, Lee Hi is probably the most entertaining person on it thanks to her strong sense of humor that YG refuses to acknowledge because it doesn't fit with the "aegyo" image he wants his girls (like BP) to have. Dara and Suhyun are sweet but havent shown any strong sense of humor that could have made the show actually entertaining. Suhyun looks too timid around Dara that all she does is laugh to Lee Hi's jokes without creating any banter. Dara is Dara..sweet and pretty but nothing exciting. YG hasn't even bothered promote the show or release any articles on the girls' activities on it. In fact, YG hasn't even bothered promote Lee Hi's university performances over the past 12 months or the fact that she worked with Gallant - a freaking Grammy Award nominee and one of US's most respected and critically acclaimed young RnB singers -. She even got to feature a lot in his documentary. YG did NOT release a single article on this or mediaplay what she did even though she just collaborated with a well-respected and acknowledged American singer/songwriter. If BP, ikon or Winner ever got a chance to collaborate with Gallant or anyone like him, you can bet YG would have all news outlet reporting on it as if his idols have already conquered America.
i can't really breath right now.. we can get through this SHAWOL #staystrongSHINee
And now we have lost 2 angels. ☹️ rest well sulli 😭😭
Since jyp is good friend with yg maybe he can talk about lee hi face to face
Feels like she and jonghyun have the same hardship. I think that's why Jonghyun approved to create the song for her to sing. Cheer up Lee Hi. Fighting!
oh fuck this brought tears to my eyes because its exactly what Lee Hi wanted it to be for me...i have the same experience of going all day feeling as though i have trouble breathing and...ohmygod, thank you Lee Hi, thank you.
i had the same panic disorders....and yeahhh its hard to BREATHE.....i understand that feeling..
너무 질질끄는 와이지.. 진짜 하이가 그냥 십대,이십대 내내 회사 안가고 유투브 채널 하면서 유명세 유지 하면서 공연잡고 다녔으면 돈 더벌고 앨범도 더 많이 냈을듯.
nyoung nyoung 진짴ㅋㅋㅋㅋ쟤가부족하고 준비해야하는거면 지금 활동하고있는 아이돌 반이상은 도로들어가야하
nyoung nyoung 는뎈ㅋㅋㅋ
For me this song comfort me when I think of something that I shouldn't have think... haih. :')
Nadie lo notó pero Hi también estuvo sufriendo y lo pasó mal. Sí, rompe aún más el corazón saber que Jonghyun oppa se sentía igual y tampoco lo sabían los demás.
A los dos artistas maravillosos, a la dulce chica que sigue con nosotros y al talentoso ángel que ahora está en el cielo❤️
To those having a hard time I’m proud of you and if you need help please go reach for help
#RIP jonhyun😭
YG, it hurts to see Hi like this. After debut she got hiatus for 3 and started to promote then again on hiatus. how long does your artists needs to go on hiatus when they don't want to?
cause they aren't ready to come back with good music. Letting artists come back willy nilly means their albums are of inferior quality.
I'd rather wait for a great album than hear mediocre ones every 5 months.
First of all, Lee Hi's Seoulite album was produced in 3-4 months after YG handed her over to Tablo because he had no idea what to do with her music or what direction to go for. So yes with dedication and resourcefulness, you could make a quality album in less than 5 months. Secondly, you don't need to come back with an album every 5 months. That is almost unheard off. However, a good company would release 1-2 singles per year by their artist to promote them and help build their fanbase. A good company would allow them to perform in music festivals and concerts so that they can improve their performance skills and develop a loyal fan-following. Look at Dean, he barely promoted on TV yet he still was able to develop a huge fanbase and increase his album sales thanks to all the performances he did at concerts and music festivals. One of his songs called "half moon" stayed in the charts for 2 years and sold millions because he was consistently performing it at music festivals and concerts so new people kept hearing it and downloading it. Even he himself said that this song's sales and chart longevity surpassed his expectations. YG sadly has no idea how to promote a soloist like Lee Hi just like he had no idea how to promote Gummy. Interestingly, now that Gummy is out of YG, shes doing much much better and releasing songs at least once a year with her songs charting at #1 and achieving insanely high sales.
+basboosa Thanks☺️
basboosa exactly. I really want Hayi to get a better label that promotes her better
I know this song early than about jonghyun. Everyday after this single breath is release i heard this song without crying and enjoy the ballad music and after i know about that jonghyun write this song and i heard again this song and understand the meaning of this song. Its so heartbreaking guys. Im crying. The meaning of this song is very2 touching. #restinpeace #udidwell
JYP cared more for Lee Hi than YG.
Hayi & jonghyun 💔💔😭😭
R.I.P Jonghyun oppa
Love Lee hi😘😘
La amo ❤️🤗
9:30pm wednesday 31/3/2021. I just tried breathing on a plastic bag and I don’t know why but maybe I’m feeling very comforted right know after that breathing or it’s just my mind believing that I’m okay bc I have never breathed on a plastic bag before and every time I had a attack I had just cried and breathed hard but tonight after watching this performance again ( I have watched it tons before) I had a sudden breakdown and I completely was shorted of breath 🤍🌸
I hate to think that, she might end up leaving YG and sign to another agency.😭
the only label i can think of for her to sign with if she ever leaves YG is HIGHGRND. I think they'll do her justice seriously.
kavkei Tablo took care and took part on her during Seoulite.
kavkei I think Tablo (HIGHGRND) is a better choice for her
I don't think she would ever leave YG LOL, YG gives most of their percent to their artist. YG is known to give their artists lots of money. I'm not saying ohh money is important. I can't assume about the contact but, YG Did a good job with a contract thing their artist should get paid more.most company takes most of the percentage of their album or income based on how much albums or anything that sales. Im not sure about jYP ENT. I would love to see lee hi going to jyp company because -Jimin and baek ayeon is there but their not doing a great job promoting jimmy. At least Baek Ayeon is getting recongization from two of her songs. Lee Hi do deserve better - but YG puts good care for trainees or idols who were on kpop star because, YG picked them to be in their company. Besides that YG got permission from their parents too.
joining Tablo is the same as staying inside YG, just like Teddy's Black label. They're all YG family in the end.
Jonghyun, I’m sorry as your fan, I couldn’t relieve your pain 😔
Some1 give jyp oscar
Lee Hi has spoken like, on behalf of many YG artists 😂. She just proved that YG himself is not the one locking them up in the "dungeon". He wants the artists to be on their highest level and be ready for what they are going to do. Like Hi said, she was frustrated that she was not good enough, that was what YG was trying to do, making them "good enough" to satisfy the artists. It is really satisfying seeing your work doing great, so I wish all the best to Lee Hi.
She had left yg.I'm happy for her
breathing is hard at times ... and I think we all know it, we're humans after all
it will be hard for her :""
Hayi-ah fighting!!!
Am I the lnly one who gets emotional when hearing this song due to Jonghyun and how he must had felt?
If you feel like that, please ask for help, I am really serious when I say that there's people who really care about you, that you matter, please, stay for you and for those who matter to you, things can get better, WILL get better
Omo i'm crying
Jonghyun😭💔
The song 2:46 - 3:00 I want to here that song. It makes me comfortable even I dont understand it.What is the title of that song??
Passing by by Lee Hi
I was waiting for her to mention Jonghyun (being the composer of the song;) and how this song came to be sang by her (when she and Jjong were from different agencies), but it never was explained in this so-called "behind story." Or is there another video that reveals this important information?
goes out to yall tht always say tht yg is always the one locking them up
I also cannot breath normally, I tried to let out a deep breath but... I cant.. it hurts
Love u babyyyy
Can anyone tell me the song name that starts from 2:35 plz 🙏🏻
Sumni Waling Lee Hi - Passing By
Check it out "Passing by" was written by Leehi herself :))
No one took my jonghyun seriously 😭😭😭when he said he had depression
