On 2012, Lee Michelle became Top 5 on SBS K-pop star season 1 with her powerful singing skills and her soulful voice. After two years of waiting, she is back with her first digital single 'Without you'.
The title song 'Without you' is a song where Lee Michelle's soulful and sentimental voice works well with the strong beat. The amazing melody line also has restrained sadness and feelings to it. Also, the story talks about a couple broke up, and the story comes to us in a very different way with the memorable music video.

去る2012年、SBS Kポップスターのシーズン1でパワフルな歌唱力とソウルフルな声で世間の注目を浴びて登場しTop5にまで上がったイ・ミシェル。その2年後待ちに待った初のデジタルシングル「Without you」で彼女が帰ってきた。
タイトル「Without you」は、強いビートに混ざったイ・ミシェルの豊かで感性的なボイスが引き立つ曲。魅力的なメロディラインの中に節制された悲しみと感性が滲んでいる。そして恋人と別れた後を描いたようなこの曲のストーリーは非常に印象的なミュージックビデオを通じてまったく別の次元の姿で近づいてくる。
지난 2012년, SBS K팝스타 시즌1에서 파워풀한 가창력과 소울풀한 목소리로 세간의 주목을 받으며 등장해 Top5에까지 올라섰던 이미쉘. 이후 2년여의 기다림 끝에 첫 디지털 싱글 「Without you」로 그녀가 다시 돌아왔다.
타이틀 "Without you"는 강한 비트에 섞인 이미쉘의 풍부하고 감성적인 보이스가 돋보이는 곡이다. 매력적인 멜로디 라인 속에 절제된 슬픔과 감성이 배어있다. 게다가 연인과 이별한 후를 그린 듯한 이 곡의 스토리는 상당히 인상적인 뮤직비디오를 통해 전혀 다른 차원의 면모로 다가오게 된다.

Imagine Lee Michelle and Ailee singing together though. How amazing would that be.
+shineelover1310 YES I will die happy if this ever happens
that would be AMAZING
+shineelover1310 It would be PERFECTION
How would I not be dead after that
i would die
Can I just say what an amazing child actor! Like damn.
sameeeeeee here 😢
+gomez thaliatk thx!
ikr!
+Brocolli Kawaii thx
+ThexXxAmiRaxXx thx
I hate this society. I hate the idea of fair/pale skin equal to beautiful. Seriously, no matter what color your skin are, you are beautiful.
Anyss Wan Me Too!! But that is the whole worlds philosophy... not just Korea.
+Anyss Wan We need more people who think like you, dear.
+ilmusicx3 Google "India Dark Is Beautiful"
The white/fair/pale skin is better thing is the effects of colonization. Where ever white folks go, they left few things behind: churches, slaves, white wash, white is better mentality.
***** ...white is better mentality?
Watching this as a black girl hurts so bad. Young black girls get so much shit growing up because of our skin color and hair texture. I can't image how hard it must be for a sister in a country like South Korea. It's sickening that most parts of the world view dark skin as a disadvantage.
Luhantony ho Though I've also heard that because there aren't many blacks in Korea, they also don't have the negative stereotypes associated with them...
Josh B that would make sense. it's when a population becomes notable, that 'bad' habits (often just culture traits/differences) get noticed, become well-known and deemed bad.
Samee
its sad but true!! :(
same like im black but in my family we are mixed with puerto tican and italian yet were light. skin and have thick hair
I like how this MV visualises a touchy subject in Korea
This is the Kpop I love,and this is what korea needs
support Michelle,she's amazing!
I dont know why but she has more emotion than Kpop stars can show. I mean, it's probably because the whole meaning behind this MV is actually true since it's trying to tell us that she went through hardships with race/skin color when she was at Korea.
I really hope she has some type of promotion in the US.
I haven't listened to this in years. Just randomly remembered about SuPearls earlier and now am here listening to this beautiful piece of music. Michelle Lee deserved better.
I'm still listening & she deserved so much better
What a great way to show the struggles of a mixed race child, especially of Korean and black decent.
The little girl is so pretty, love her curly locks.
I love this m/v so much. I love Michelle Lee.
but what makes me proud of her is that she could have debuted anyway, with a generic love song or something but no. she chose to tackle serious situations and that is amazing in itself. Let's not even talk about the amount of talent she has.
Gosh! Her voice is amazing! She sings better than most Korean girls in a girl group, but no. They have to look at her skin color and judge her based on the fact she is half black. Can't they just turn blind to that fact and just keep their ears open and listen to the music. I mean, her voice is really amazing and she should be given a shot at making herself known better as a singer or idol than just dis/regarded as "A black girl who can sing Korean".
Sammy P She not only has a beautiful voice, she is a beautiful woman. Rather than turn a blind eye, why not take in the whole package, the beautiful brown skin, the Asian features, and that magnificent voice. I've never liked the term color blind. Nature or G -d no matter how you view, put a lot of work into making human beings a diverse and wonderful species. Can we truly learn to love our differences if we pretend not to notice something a miraculous as the spectrum of complexion?
Bobsyermomsuncle "the asian features" ....smh
WANI He To me, Lee Michele has features that reflect Both of her parents'' ancestry. It is different depending on what your family is like--my immediate family has a blend of ethnicity. Many times although a child may resemble both parents, person outside the family get caught up in how what expect an Asian, European, Middle Eastern, or African woman to look like rather than which of her Mother and father's features a child inherited. Does that make sense?
Lmao u need to realise that theres no select features for 'asian' people cause theres south asians and east asians and south east asians like...they all look so different lmao.
Bobsyermomsuncle
Wait... What...? WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MILLIONS OF VIEWS?!?! WHAT?!?!
+ERMAHGERD WUT ALMOST THERE
because she's a flop in korea
***** Sadly... Such a waste of amazing talent. Just wish she had more recognition. :/
ERMAHGERD WUT its only because koreans care more about looks than talent.
+ERMAHGERD WUT Exactly... i do not get it. I am going to start sharing this several times a week... people must know about such a talent... and realize about black-korean artist in Korea, I am a colombian singer, and really, can't bealieve that she has not all millions of views. Support from here. Shes's got the whole package.
Phenomenal debut from an amazing unique new Artist
Welcome back home Michelle.
This song gives me goose bumps. I remember when she was still under YG and when heard about this song I was like "Lee Michelle? I've heard that name before." and it's her. She has a beautiful voice :)
This debut is just as amazing as Ailee's "Heaven"! Both of these girls are amazing and I wish them the best!
Michelle you're so beautiful, like honestly wow. You deserve so much more, you're voice is as beautiful as you..
***** Same goes for you tbh
This song and message is very beautiful.Lee Michelle has such a beautiful voice and can't wait to see this live.
This video can be taken apart and interpreted in so many ways.
But all i know is 1; that little girl deserves an oscar and 2; this song is now on instant replay. Singing it everywhere i go, to anyone i know .
These are the messages that need to be spread in Korea and around the world.
이 뮤직비디오는 정말 너무 저평가되었다고 생각함 ㅠㅠ 이런 뮤비들이 더 많아졌으면..
And she amazing singer. I love this song.
MICHELLE LEE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! Her voice as well is so amazing, it literally brought me to tears. I used to think Ailee's voice was the most beautiful but after listening to this song, I'm having second thoughts. Best of luck to this talented girl
I'm SO SO glad she's getting to debut, talent like hers needs to be shared. I'm loving this.
Shes Korean born and raised not a foreigner. 😭❤ been her fan since her kpopstar days DAMMIT YG😖
Xia Yang what did YG do?
(not trying to be mean I'm just curious)
Michelle was supposed to debut in a 4 member girl group called SuPearls under YG but it didn't work out. Lee-Hi debut as a solo artist then that put Michelle and the other two members back to being trainees. As time went by her contract was nullified which basically means she was of no use or value for YG.
If SuPearls got to debut it would have been awesome but it didn't work out :(
ffs YG. let me manage your trainees. I'll tell you who's ready!!
+d-.-b oh my gosh and instead blackpink debuted. Rumours said that YG will debut another girl group next year just like how they debuted ikon after winner.
Omg I've never cried watching a Korean MV until now....so good.
me either omg! this brought out the softie in me.
omg me too! I started to get all choked up when the little girl was running and then tears just started pouring when she was crying. Wow, that was one powerful mv.
omg I can't wait for Michelle's live.:'D
booksRAwesome92 I hope this starts a new period of music. It'd be cool if they would stop excluding half black Korean people~
Hwan Hee Moon omg that would be so cool! even better if they stopped excluding anyone who was mixed but we've got to start somewhere. I wish all the best for Michelle.
Agreed! It's just so beautiful seeing her like this! Because you remember when that one guy asked her why she never got angry and lashed out at the kids who teased her? And she said since she's different she didn't have a right to do those things. OMGGG Michelle is such an inspirational girl with a beautiful voice,
Why am I tearing up? *sniff sniff*
The MV was simple yet so powerful at conveying the message. Same for the song itself, it's just so beautiful. Definitely gonna keep an eye on Lee Michelle more. She's so talented and pretty ;)
This song is beautiful. Made me shed a tear.
This girl has more talent in a single strand of hair than 99% of idols do in their entire body. Fight me.
ᄒᄂᄇAsh 황DK
Bruh, I didn't mention any of your faves, did I? Lmao.
ᄒᄂᄇAsh 황DK
If I came off as combative, sorry. It''s just that Michelle is incredibly talented, yet receives no attention nor praise as she doesn't fit their standard of beauty. I think she deserves more attention than she currently has.
+HeroSlam
i definitely agree with you, shes got sooo much talent and made it far, yet not many people know about her work. Shes a beautiful girl inside and out, and deserve acknowledgement for her work. 이마쉘 화이팅 ~~~~ 힘내세요 ~ ^^
HeroSlam lol definitely not fighting you
NaNa Ha definetly true

The most meaningful & the best debut yet! She's going to do amazing things for K-Pop.
Beautiful song
this video surely deserves more views
the little girl's acting is so cute :) !
Oh my goodness people, all this boils down to one sad but true fact: there is a very high level of racism in Korea. Although Korea is beginning to become more accepting and socially open, I can for sure say that racism was or is still a prominent problem. It's no lie that Lee michelle has had obstacles in the music industry because of her skin color; jyp even told her that it was going to be hard and that Korea needed to change during the kpopstar audition program. Being born and raised half of my life in Korea i can tell you now that there's more prejudice than you think. Living amongst Koreans even in America has taught me that there's discrimination despite being exposed to American culture.
Jina Lee It's called racial supremacy.
I really hope that this M/V gets broadcasted a lot in Korea, the population over there need to open their eyes and realise that she is the same as everyone else. I feel so bad knowing that she was born and raised in a country where she was looked down on and bullied because of her colour, things need to change in Korea & I really hope that this is a start.. This song and M/V had me in tears, well done Lee Michelle
not cried this much since SHINee won Artist of the Year! She's beautiful and her voice is incredible
One day Korea will realize white doesn't mean better. This MV always gives me chills. And that more idols from different races and different skin tones will have a chance at companies jus like any other person
케일라 • koreans are not white! south east asians have lighter skin tones, please do not say white unless you are referring to europeans, russians or certain people around the world
kanna
the fuck are you on?
jillian. They’re referring to the fact that Koreans, like most East Asians, essentially fetishize lily white skin and proximity to whiteness.
In love with this song, the lyrics, and the MV. What I'm scared of is the reaction to this song though not on the internet, but in Korea. I don't know much about black people in Korea, but I think it's safe to assume that there aren't many. I fear Michelle Lee won't get the recognition she deserves because of her skin color and that makes me upset considering she was born and raised in Korea and is half Korean. Talent is talent, no matter what and this girl definitely has it. She's beautiful and deserves all she's going to get.
I agree 100% with you she is pretty and have a good voice, she deserve it. Fighting Lee Unnie!!!
I think you need to be scared of the reaction on the internet. Possibly more than the reaction in Korea. International fans are being worse to this girl than Korea is so far. Do you know how many "k-pop is changing, who let the black people in?" comments I've seen from white people living in the US and Canada so far?
Alley Kearn to bw honest, I only said reaction in Korea because - thankfully - I've only seen good comments on this video so far. I haven't seen any hate comments though! Are they that bad????
Kevon S. Yes, is that bad I see a comment that say "I am a Canadiens and wtf, are you kidding me a black girl singing kpop? What is next a dog dancing and signing it too? Ppft that is stupid" I think that the some people are so racists and need to think of the feeling of others.
+Linnette Martinez ;-; that's so messed up, honestly!
!! Glad to see Michelle making music & one with a statement at that. Korea needs more songs like this! That little girl is so precious. She acts so well. :)
You are beautiful Michi just the way you are.
How is this the first time I'm hearing/seeing this?!?! This is beautiful!
Who is responsible for promotions here? I believe Michelle would receive so much support from international fans if she were promoted more!
kotaxiao right?! I just heard it while listening to Aewen Radio and I was surprised, because her voice doesn't sound like you'd expect from a Korean right? so I went to look her up and although I was surprised, it makes sense, she fits the voice I heard. I think she could receive a lot of support from international fans as well. I personally think it's really cool to see this joint-culture in Korea, as it's really not as common there as in the west :)
+kotaxiao she used to be with yg and was to debut in a group that included Lee Hi (YG Soloist) but after lee hi's success as a solo singer, lee michelle and the other 3 or 4 girls' contracts were terminated
***** wow I had no clue about that! her life sure took a couple spins the past years...
HazewinDog Same I honesly didn't realize her voice was this good
Yeah, I think she needs to market herself more to the international market, she would def blow up
I don't know why...but I started to cry as I listened to this song and watched the MV. Lee Michelle, make us (international fans and all who love you) proud!!! FIGHTING!!
Diversity in Kpop is so rare !! I hope she will continue in a good way, she is amazing !! *0* ♡
She's amazing I don't care what any of you guys say she's talented and gorgeous HWAITING
She's beautiful and her voice is beautiful... You go girl never give up, you got talent and that's what matters most...
You are right
This song and MV is sooo beautiful! Omg, I actually cried. Michelle's voice is daebak. So glad DIMA entertainment picked her up, totally their gain and YG's loss for losing her.
It doesn't matter if she looks different, her voice can win a million!
she is the ne that left YG, not the other way around.... YG just did not have a problem to terminate the contract..
***** There is a rumor that SuPearls didn't have the patience to wait around for YG to debut them...knowing how YG makes an announcement and then actually debuts a group 2 or 3 years later
inspiritbabyviki agree, yep is true but is not YG fault, why? bcuz we alknow hw YG it is with debuts, she culd not sppected to ebut jsut like that when not even KSY did so,... he still waiting for winner debut. Patience is a virtue....GD and taeyang waited for 6 years, bom and dara llike 4 and more...
This song is above and beyond. Its beyond Kpop. Totally speaks to me. I may not be biracial but I understand. I went through the same thing as her here in America. Kids and grown people who should know better can be aweful. My heart goes out to all people and special one for the migrant kids who come to America.
Beautiful MV, beautiful song! This child actress is so cute and pretty, and a great actress!
미쉘님 우연히 이 노래를 만났어요
편견 속에서 잘 견디어냰 미쉘님에게
격려를 보냄니다
영혼은 흔드는 노래
아픔을 견디고 나온 노래
최고예요!!!
this song absolutely breaks my heart :'( also that little girl is the cutest thing i've ever seen.
This is seriously a great video with an extremely meaningful message to everyone. Its speaks to everyone of every race all over the world. Michelle your voice is amazing! Fighting!!!
I just watched this a second time and I'm actually sobbing, omg I haven't cried like this in a while.
Soompi said that the song was talking about a boy but I think it could be interpreted as her saying she doesn't need approval of her haters to be beautiful or meaningful. That she's perfect the way she is. OMG I LOVE THIS SONG.
I, myself haven't been discriminated against but I just get so angry, and emotional when it comes down to it. I want everyone treated equally.
This song drives it home.
I can't stop commenting omg helppp xD
Hwan Hee Moon omg me too! This is like my 10th comment! XD
After 7 years this song release it still beautiful song.. she have the talent
i really cry in 3 : 54 seriously this MV really meaningfull
I HOPE SHE WILL BECOME A POPULAR SOLO SINGER! LEE MICHELLE FIGHTING!!!!
this is so beautiful she is such a lovely singer I wish her the best , its been a while since ive seen a meaningful kpop video
She really let you see what she struggle being mixed child. I really do feel for her. She is very beautiful and her voice is amazing.
There are too many people especially young people in this world who don't know or realize how beautiful and meaningful they are. This song is absolutely heart-touching and gave me chills. This is by far a memorable debut.
True
Crying because people are confused by the video and wondering why a black person is singing in korean. Crying because I don't see how people are going to change because people are 100% idiots.
This is an amazing song with such a touching story from her heart. But not only does this song reflects on interracial people living in Korea but interracial people struggling anywhere. Go Michelle! You rock girl! I nearly cried...*using Kleenex to wipe away tears*
Fighting to people that have gone through this and people who has ever felt that they didn't belong...
You even say the brand of tissue you used to wipe your tears HAHAHAH
(: Yeah I know, couldn't help it...
HAHAHAH!
I can't even describe with words how beautiful everything about this MV was (including ms. Michelle Lee of course)
The song was wonderful, the Music Video itself had so much people can learn from.
I'm so happy she debuted! I'll be supporting you Michelle!
It's so new to hear a black woman sing kpop. I'm so proud she's gotten so far through her stuggle, and t's refreshing.
Well she's not exactly full black, she's half korean half black :)
Yes, I knew that already. She doesn't know who her father is, either. And her contract was nullified by YG, along with her debut.
Yup. She's moving forward. Hope to see her more in the future!
Same here.^^
She's not black -.-
Is she Black and Asian? If she is, she is very beautiful. The song itself deserves international attention because so many people across the globe want to look like one particular race. I'm black and proud of it, and I feel everyone should be comfortable in their skin. I'll give this video 5 stars. Followed by another 5 stars just for talking about a social issue.
I cried so much while listening to this. All the pain and discrimination she went through while growing up and probably even still now. This music video/song isn't about telling people how she suffered in the past. It's about SHOWING people that she made through it all and now she's stronger, better, and happier. This song is inspirational. Please support her by spreading the words about this single.
This song is beautiful. The meaning of this video is beautiful. Me being mixed race, Black and Asian, I identify with this wholeheartedly. But wow wow wow, Michelle Lee's voice is just AMAZING. Hands down I think she has the best voice in K-pop right now, no doubt.
i came here after i watch her rap.. I love her voice.. pls sing more..
me too😅
me to
Me too. Her singing is just mind blowing
Me too
I cried my eyes out... She's talented an amazing and I had the feeeeeeels! .. Hope she goes far and achieves all that she wants and becomes successful
Same herw
Here*
definately x
Knowing that Koreans have white glowing skin! It reminds me of EXO's Kai when he and his other members already call Kai "dark." Like srsly? She's beautiful and has an amazing voice. Dark? White ones? We're all freaking the same! She's unstoppable! I love her ♥ Much respect and love! I'm now a fan, Michelle Lee! I wish this pretty girl the best in her career! :)
For the fight to be meaningful, it has to be fought in Korea. She's not a stranger to the country yet she's being estranged by the few but powerful narrow-minded.
Props to DIMA Entertainment for believing in her.
This was beautiful. I almost cried honestly. She's a beautiful woman with an amazing voice. I really hope I get to hear more music from her in the future. It's nice to finally see some diversity in K-Pop as well, especially since I know there are many mixed-race, or non-Asian peoples who live in Korea.
Logan Bowers she is mixed race, but she is asian, she's korean. and afaik remeber this part of the point of the song was talking ab how its hurts to be excluded bc of antiblackness and treated like she isnt korean
Needs more views and an English version! i don't care about SuPearls but YG is really slippin for letting her go...
I'm pretty sure it was her idea to leave or so I have heard.
Aegis Nol idk if she really "left" but YG basically scrapped their group lol
lol nigga there where article and a lot of rummor months befor eit happen, YG said it was not true and try to hide it, and try to solve it, but did not happen she never retur to practice, there were a lot of people talking about it, I wa sin korea at the time
Watching for the 25th time, still tearing up! Lee Michelle fighting! you have fans in the US!!!
Wow!!! she has a great voice...well it was a loss for YG to let such a talent go.
if a company prides itself on the talent of its singers and project themselves as being the risk takers and unconventional, they could have supported Michelle.
Well talent will shine no mater who supports it or who doesn't..
All the best girl, may you find success in the industry...
what?! YG LET HER GO?!?! What's wrong with his stupid mind?!?!?!? I'm mad now...stupid YG...-_-
I was coming back to check out this mv after not viewing it in forever and was shocked an acoustic version popped up. Not only was it acoustic, it was in English. The girl slays anyway she sings. Still pushing for Lee Michelle to get the recognition she deserves.
she is amazing..I wish her all the best..i'm falling in love with her voice ♥♥♥...
there's only a few artist out there that can make me cry and Lee Michelle you are definitely one of them. Beautiful girl, beautiful voice, just simply beautiful. Stay Strong.
girl if korea doesn't want u come here to the states, we'd welcome u with open arms that voice is just killer.
Maybe she feels like need to spread this to Koreans
Idk what states you're talking about, but it isn't the United States. Anti-blackness is this country's #1 trend of the year, every year. I can't even walk down the street without hearing some white boy use a slur, and I'm not even black. We undermine black artists and refuse to allow them dignity and recognition or to be taken seriously as artists. They're novelties at best, and we usually treat them children in the media.
The States would be just as horrible to her. She deserves better than where anywhere can get her. White supremacy is worldwide. That's why Korea has such big problems with racism and colorism-because white people put it there.
Alley Kearn I also think that in predominantly white countries the media doesn't have enough asians. Black people have taken amazing milestones in the media yet asians seem so far behind. I think its great how kpop has spread internationally but its still not mainstream enough for people to take asians seriously. Don't get me wrong, I like Psy and that but they seem to be treated as something funny not as a serious artist in the music industry. I Wish every race could be as equally accepted as any other. Btw I'm chinese I'm not just randomly saying stuff... but yeah *sigh*
PS Lee Michelle is beautiful :) and the little girl too... aww so cute those cheeks^_^
being a black girl myself I say this as nicely as I can. Racism it is everywhere smarty pants. Since you've decided to respond to my harmless comment I think I should to your long ass novel response. Kpop don't have much black/Korean artist that's as famous as most other kpop artist. My comment since u've decided to read so much into it. is simply me cheering on another biracial female that her success is not limited. and being black here in America will not stop anyone success. you have big success "BLACK" artist who are making it and making history, such as queen B, Rihanna jennifer hudson and the list goes on. And with a voice as beautiful as her's anyone would take her seriously. next time you see a simple comment especially one that is coming from someone cheering on someone else just leave it as it is. And FYI the pale skin syndrome didn't just come from white people its been around in alot of cultures, such as china etc. The whole if your skin is darker you must be poor and forced to work in the sun. The point of my comment is her voice can take this world by storm and yes America would have her with open arms since we love exotic beautys. And Korea is very lucky to have her or any other mixed race musicians *roll my eyes* just cant with you people sometimes. Korea- united states either way she is a star.
and secondly, I'm black and i should know black people are racist towards their own as well. I would know because I am a black biracial girl myself. If your skin is lighter even when your black its looked at as this great thing by some, which is stupid but its true. so the whole world needs changing not just Korea, America and the media, its everyone. I wish Michelle great success and I know without a doubt that the color of her caramel skin will not stop her from shining.
This song just came to my mind out of the blue. The video is so powerful. I remember crying like a baby seeing this beautiful child caking powdery white makeup on her face. So heartbreaking and poignant.
I'm mixed with half black and half Vietnamese, I didn't get bullied often because of my race because I kept the information to myself. I mainly got bullied for how "not pretty and ugly" I was... It's tough and I appreciate this MV so much!
I personally don't believe this was meant to bash any particular race or culture. I think it was to draw attention to bullying by society due to a person's race or appearance.
Sometimes people bully because you are pretty to them and they feel they are not. I personally believe that every person is attractive to someone, somewhere in this world.
I totally understand this feeling. My brother fell in love with a black woman and started dating her. She was very nice and sweet, wouldn't hurt a fly if she had to. But my family completely disagreed on the relationship, especially my father. So my brother moved to America and lived his life with his wife and blasian child (she's adorable, by the way xD). It's truly sad how people treat each other just because of their skin color? I hope Michelle makes the same decision as my brother and move to America to live a good life as a idol. Korea will not work for her, and I'm sorry for that matter :(
thumbs up for your brother who chose to follow his heart!
You are completely right~! thanks ^^
Your brother is amazing!
I know, right?! He made the right decision honestly
As much as I agree that that would be the easier, lesser heartbreak of a choice, I think interracial people should stay and fight against the hate or there will never be change. If Lee Michelle and her family moved, this song would've never came out. That's how America changed, the 90s were horrible for mixed children but interracial couples in love put their feet down and stayed with each other, now in less than 10 years it's become a norm here. Same as anything that's unusual to the eye, you can't stow it away and blind people, it'll just garnish more ignorance.
This MV and song is great.I applaud Lee Michelle for not giving up on her dreams after many obstacles,hope she gets the success she deserves.
On the other hand I think that little girl is an amazing little actress,she was able to convey her emotions so well with no talking involved,wanna see more of her.She's so cute to top it off.
I agree completely. Could not have said it better
Black is beautiful.
When the little girl cried, I lost it.
seeing kids cry is so heartbreaking...i lost it too!
To those of you who are wondering what the korean words on the wall means, here's the translations. Hope this helps. =)
죽어 = die

I have to say this is such a strong and powerful music video and Michelle nailed it. Looking forward to see more of her works in the future. Fighting Michelle!
Powerful message, powerful voice, powerful debut. nuff said.
Powerful impact!!
On me,...
The child actress is sooo good tho!!! Her voice is beautiful, I pray South Korea accepts and she becomes popular after all she's half-korean.. I love the lyrics of this song soo much!!
This song needs to have an English version OR at least promoted in the U.S OR we can just share this video to everyone even if they're not into Kpop. This needs recognition! Real talent, Real Music :)
Right on
Sounds like a US singer who singing Korean song
God if people can't see the inner beauty of people like Lee Michelle's inner beauty, then I don't wanna live in this world anymore. Living as a mixed kid in one of the most homogeneous countries on earth is not anyone's wish, dream, especially in a country where beauty standards are just ridiculously too much. I'm sure this gorgeous young lady went through lots of shit from bullying to other forms of discrimination and violence.
Lee Michelle, I love you.
I'm not a mixed person but I still cried at this. I can't say I feel you or understand you but I understand how messed up this world is, or rather the people who live in it.
Wah... Such a talented singer !! I'm happy she finally made her debuts ! The song is so beautiful, and the MV... As everyone else noticed, we can clearly see a lot of feelings. This is sad and beautiful at the same time. I love Michelle's voice and I hope she will gain recognition she deserves !!
When the girl started crying, I did too... ;-;
The song is so beautiful and Michelle's voice is so powerful.
Whatever she went through all her life has made her stronger! I hope to see much more from her!
I came here from reading comments on allkpop about Trudey from UR.
I started crying when the first chorus started
+Stacey Tham same but like 15 sec into the video after the scream i heard this from a kpop vine or sonething but its so beautiful
+Shannon Williams At least I wasn't only one crying when the girl did ;3
This was so beautiful, it really made me cry, Videos this deep are such a rarity and without words is confronting issues that aren't really talked about in music at this level. Everyone is beautiful for who they are and who ever doesn't appreciate it lost out. The message is beautiful and lovely, thank you Lee Michelle
I cried a lot and I'm happy to see I was not the only one who did it. She's amazing!
YG made a hug mistake letting her go. She will be the one kind of singers to make a bigger impact in America, Europe, and other countries. Why? Because she is different and actually sings.
why it took me like 6 years to discover her???? damn. So beautiful and powerful, as half-Korean I definitely needed this!!! 왜 나 이 노래를 6년 전에 못 찾았다?? 참 아름다웁다!! 나도 반 한국 사람인데 이 노래와 가수를 오래오래 찾으면 갸 좋겠어요 ㅠㅠ Love from Finland
I declare myself a Michelle's fan. I don't need to speak korean to understand it. this song It's beautiful, I almost cried
Am loving this. Is anyone else reminded of the lyrics to Yoon Mirae's "Black Happiness," especially when she rubs white onto her face?
I got that same vibe. Both messages are similar but the songs are so beautiful at the same. I just can't. its too amazing!
Well it could be, since both of them are half black. I get the feeling that Tasha would be her biggest supporter. Actually I want a collaboration of them so bad! I would be so epic!! Just imagine Tasha with her rapping and Michelle with her singing~
Tsunade1stSannin
im looking forward to that!
So hoping that they do a collab somewhere in the future.
that would be so freaking amazing to see! she deserves more views though...
This video actually got me teary-eyed. I know exactly what she's dealing with, and it hurts like hell, but her lyrics are perfect: "Beautiful without you, Meaningful without you." None of us need ANYONE to validate us. I love this girl already!
i kind of sad because this song did not get much attention from others. and i also feel sad because i just found it right now. :(
Same here.I just found it today.She deserves much more attention. A one of a kind gift.

the little girl's name is egypt yoona and she's a model and she is so so so cute
I have never been a stan for a Korean artist before. I am like genuinely emotionally involved in her career! lol
Michelle, MURDER the charts baby girl! We got you xox
This MV hit me so hard, I cried and I'm not an emotional person. I was just searching for music to study with and now I can't stop thinking about this!!
The Korean words written on the wall with crayon say things like "DIE, monster, filthy, piss off...etc" I think things people called her:(
Jennie Lim thanks for the translation
This song is the best Korean song I've ever heard she didn't need to dance she isn't forced to be skinny she didn't need to be white all she needed is having this angelic voice.. she is talented nd that what is matter..
It was literally that shiver thing you feel when you see someone with such meaning behind their lyrics on top of a beautiful voice, and had beautiful videography. Im glad someone gave her a chance, I'll keep listening for more.
Love this song sung by Lee Michelle from kpop stars season 1. Love the mv as well, cried my eyes out... please share she is an amazingly talented singer
This is the most powerful and meaningful song this year. This ain't kpop. This is music.
Who else wants her on mask singer? Where she can sing without any judgement about her skin or her race. Her voice can do the talking for her.
YES PLEASE!!!
