Lyrics:

All this time.

The woman I’ve been looking for.

Who I feel safe with.

Receptive. Charming. Caring.

Trust.


It would be an honor if you could witness this moment with me.

You all have played pivotal influences shaping me into:

the person that Sohyeon loves. She is the greatest and dearest to my peace.


With my friends and family

all gathered under one roof.

That’s a tell-tale.

Through the test of time;

kinesthetic distance set aside,

you are my calisthenic strength.


My childhood friends and groomsmen are the foundation of my evolution.


Together, we pushed the envelop.

Together, we watched it bend.

We have trekked knees deep through streams.

We always had each other’s backs,

living life at full acceleration, kicking up dirt and earth on BMX bikes,

exploring home-made BMX tracks.

Do you remember having bonfires?

It’s been real.


Even now, i still ride.

But I trek through struggles, streams and strength.

Everyday, In South Korea, I think of this and I live by this.


I thank my father’s support.

A bind in family for me and Sohyeon.

And we’re still amazed that we all can join at the Tate;

all gathered together, at this massive scale.


And this applies to the dearest Hearts of Devotion.

Julie is the salt of the earth.

And this applies to a bigger giver than life and birth.


Her deeds go above and beyond!

Her Support not just for me but everyone.

Down to the last drop of amrinone.

Cheers the grandest mother to us all.


A special thanks to her friends

for being with her since the early years.

For paying it forward, and for her onto me, and back onto you.

As it comes full circle,

it projects from the heart like sound waves.

And if you can feel it, the meaning of life emerges…

Let’s pray.


To the loved ones who’ve passed away.

To the friends we’ve lost along the way.

Let’s burn this flame in memory,

Impossible to be here with us today.


As a tribute to our happy future.

They have ascended to heaven.

Let’s shut our eyes and go there

as we’ll meet you on the other side.


Take a breath,

Breath, take a breath, ambitious brethren.

Take this moment, with all due respect,

and from all walks of life,

rejoice in this ceremonial dance.


In any fashion that suits you.

In the way that is meaningful to you.

In the way that is most honest to you.

In the way that is most honest to you.
