아는 남자 (romanised: Aneun Namja; translated: Acquainted Guy). This is possibly my favourite song on Shinhwa’s 11th album, THE CLASSIC.
So understated in the music arrangement with just a steady drum beat and melody accompaniment. And the structure of the song provides a nice balance between the vocal and the rap parts. Beautiful vocal performance from the vocalists as well.
On a side note: I was moving back and forth among a few English translations of the song title, for the phrase in Korean can mean “the guy that I know (about)”, “the guy that you know”, and finally, I settled on the neutral “acquainted guy”. Ah, the ambiguity of the Korean language.
