Tiger JK Displays His Affection for His Wife Yoon Mi Rae on “Top Gear Korea Season 5”

Tiger JK recently appeared as a guest in the “Star Lap Time” segment of XTM’s “Top Gear Korea Season 5” where celebrities put their driving skills to the test.

“Star Lap Time” is a popular segment of the show where celebrities drive a Volkswagen Polo on a track, and their lap time gets recorded.

Tiger JK, who is famous for his lack of direction and doesn’t usually drive, said, “Before I did it, I felt very nervous, and I didn’t want to do it, but it was actually fun,” and expressed his satisfaction towards his first circuit racing experience. He went on to say, “I could’ve gone faster, but I fooled around on the corners.”

Tiger JK showed a different side of himself compared to his charismatic personality on stage. He wore a cute helmet and cheered as he sped along the “Top Gear Track.”

In connection to his wife, Yoon Mi Rae, Tiger JK revealed, “I still get butterflies in my stomach like I did when I first met her.” However, he evoked laughter when he revealed, “Mi Rae has a worse sense of direction than I do. She still gets confused between left and right.”

Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mi Rae & Bizzy Find 'The Cure': Exclusive Video Interview + Photoshoot

Hip-hop power couple Drunken Tiger and Yoon Mi Rae are perhaps the most respected rap artists in Korea today. The couple revolutionized the Korean music industry through their cultivation of the then-nascent hip-hop genre in Korea during the 1990s and early 2000s. Years later, with longtime collaborator and talented rapper Bizzy by their side, their lives and careers have only gained more momentum. 

The trio started 2013 off with a bang, releasing a project single entitled, "Sweet Dreams," (which peaked at No. 13 on the K-Pop Hot 100 in January, 2013) under the group name MFBTY, an acronym that stands for "My Fans Better Than Yours." The group also contributed to the expansion, and validation, of Korean hip-hop at MIDEM in France, one of the world's largest music festivals.

Months later, the trio is back at it again, continuing their story through the mini-single "The Cure," the first album of three released from the group's upcoming "trilogy" project. The title track, which peaked at No. 6, is an inspirational song dedicated to Tiger's father, who is currently battling cancer. He and Bizzy stridently rap encouraging words, while Yoon Mi Rae mellows things down with her warm vocals.

In honor of the release of "The Cure," and Yoon Mi Rae's No. 1 single "Touch Love," the trio chatted with Billboard in an exclusive video interview about their new album, future promotional plans and the pros of having worked with each other for over a decade.

Strength In NUMBERS - Episode 2 feat. Tasha & TigerJK

Drunken Tiger returns with message of hope

Tiger JK, Yoon Mi-rae and Bizzy have seen it all. From their beginnings in the hip-hop industry when Tiger JK would perform for free tapas, up to now, with the release of a new album, Drunken Tiger’s ninth, they have seen both ups and downs.

All three got into hip-hop in different ways. For Yoon Mi-rae, or Tasha, it was her dad who first influenced her. She said he was in the U.S. Army, but at the same time, he would also DJ for parties as a side job. 

“I grew up listening to my dad DJ, so I guess it kind of happened naturally,” she said. From there, she said she got lucky when she tagged along to a friend’s audition and was picked up as well.

Bizzy said that as a child he would sing commercial jingles or melodies. He added that he wanted to be an R&B singer initially, but he felt he wasn’t good enough as a singer. 

For Tiger JK, hip-hop was a means to fit in. Growing up in Los Angeles, hip-hop was everywhere.

“L.A. was all, the culture is really strong. Either you’re down with hip-hop or you’re an outsider,” he said. “You did your own thing, but hip-hop was like this, our own underground movement where we thought we were cool and we were rebels. You get to express yourself in the most outrageous ways.”

But the group said that in Korea, they felt lonely when they started out in hip-hop. Yoon said it wasn’t until she met Tiger JK that she realized there were other people out there who liked the same music and doing the same things she did, such as jam sessions or writing rhymes together. 

But she said at the same time, it opened her eyes to how lonely everyone in the hip-hop movement was. 

“The rappers were actually the audience,” she said. “We would get on stage and perform. And the people clapping for you would then get up, and come on stage and perform. And then we would go down and clap.”

Bizzy agreed, saying he too felt he was alone in his interest of hip-hop.

“I was just writing in a diary, from the heart, and trying to rhyme it,” he said. From there, he showed his writing to a friend and was then introduced to a crew and the underground scene.

The trio said they came together organically. The underground hip-hop scene back then was small, so everyone knew each other. Since they’ve been together, Yoon said they have learned each other’s chemistry and often know when someone is about to mess up, even before the person knows themselves. 

But despite their many years in the Korean hip-hop scene, and the respect they receive from fans and other artists alike, the group finds themselves once again starting over from the bottom up. 

They recently branched off to start their own label, Feel Ghood Music, and just released their first album under the new company called “Cure.” However, despite the fact that the album made music charts in Korea, Tiger JK said they haven’t had much media attention. 

They said that the theme behind the album was simplicity and hope. 

“I feel like everyone is always going towards the provocativeness,” said Tiger JK. “So what is provocative became really boring for us. It didn’t provoke us or invoke us or anything. It didn’t inspire us, so, we started just making music. And we wanted to send a positive message.”

Yoon added that the struggles the three were going through at the time also influenced the album. 

“We were going through some stuff personally and with our prior company, so, at the time, I think our mind frame or state of mind was that life is complicated as it is, let’s just simplify everything,” she said.

For Tiger JK, it was also important that his father be involved in the project. He said his father was recently diagnosed with cancer, but he is going through chemotherapy and fighting. On the front of the album, the name “Salja,” the albums name in Korean, is actually his father’s handwriting. 

They said that everyone involved in the album, from the artist who created the animation in the music video to their friends who stopped by their studio in Uijeongbu for jam sessions, felt the message they wanted to send. Hope.

“Every moment we really appreciate,” said Tiger JK. “When we hit bottom, all the cliches started popping up and then became the most powerful philosophy. ... What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. ... Either you quit or die or you fight and find a way.”

They said their next step is to continue to get their music out there and heard, and to “cure” people. They’ve put together a band and hope to take them on the road for shows. 

They said they often lock themselves up in their studio recording and fans will be hearing non-stop music from them. They are planning to release two more albums to complete the “Drunken Tiger, Yoon Mi-rae and Bizzy” series, as well as solo albums.

Drunken Tiger, “Cliché but the Hope of Music… Staying Humble”

Drunken Tiger’s new album “The Cure (살자)” with Yoonmirae and Bizzy… “United as one”

(Seoul=Yeonhab News) Lee Eunjung reporter: One could argue that hiphop has become flashy.  The overwhelming sound with increasing syllables and faster flow.  Not to mention the recent diss tracks by hiphop artists attacking each other.

Unlike this seemingly trending and busy hiphop style, Korea’s arguably first hiphop artist Drunken Tiger (Tiger JK) is sticking to his roots. Netizens recently commented, “A real hiphop artist returns”, “hiphop president”, and “the return of the King”.

At first glance, the title of Drunken Tiger’s new album–The Cure (살자)–sounds basic and ordinary.  Even the track titles–Beautiful Life, Time Travel (첫눈이 오면 설레였던 꼬마아이), The Cure–suggests a lack of flavour.

The sound production is relatively light, warmly surrounding the hiphop flow with guitar, djembe, piano, and other acoustic instruments  The album jacket also seems basic, like an LP.

However, one cannot judge a book by its cover.  Two months ago, Drunken Tiger, Yoonmirae and Bizzy left Jungle Entertainment and pursued music with their own label “Feel Ghood Music” founded in Gyeongi-do’s Yuejung-bu.  The lyrics, the sound production, and the style were all inspired by past and current experiences, including Tiger JK’s own father who is currently battling cancer with chemotherapy.

살자 (The Cure) lyrics [hangul+translation]

They say 항상 밝게 웃는 나
아픔 따윈 모른대
내 맘은 울고 있는데
Oh But I Say 밝게 웃는 내 맘 속엔
어두운 그늘에 가려진 난 그런 내가
싫지만 슬픈 내 맘은 웃게 될 거야

매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 와 있어
해지면 이유 없이 눈물이 차 있어
갑자기 이유 없이 옛사랑에 차였던
밤하늘 바라보며 눈물을 참았던
바보 같이 울지 못해 눈물을 삼켰던
매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 와 있어

매일 돌아오는 새벽 밤은 나의 벗
혼자 우는 내가 외로울까 와 있어
너 없는 여기에는 시간도 멈춰있어
멀리 가지마 너 거기 거기서
제발 기달려 줘 너 거기에 서 있어
여기서 혼자 새벽 방안 속 미치겠어
네가 혼을 실어 만들어준 머그컵이 깨졌어
내 손에 박혀 피가나
근데 왜 난 널 탓 할까

It's a Cold Cold World Out There
Sometime I Feel As If No Body Cares
I'm Down Down Down
Can Somebody Save Me Now x2

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up  Don't Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
언젠가 웃게 될 거야

매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 나의 벗
혼자 있는 내가 외로울까 날 비춰 줘
해 뜨면 새들은 하늘 위로 날개 쳐
가끔 새들도 할 수 없이 날겠지
가끔 나도 몰라 내가 뭔 말 하는지
하지만 어디 누군간 내 맘을 알겠지
매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 날 비춰 줘
I Gotta Get Up And Stand Up Now

매일 돌아오는 아침 해는 나의 벗
혼자 우는 내가 외로울까 날 비춰
너를 만나기 전으로 돌아가고파
모든 게 행복했던 내가 아주 어릴 적
너를 떠나보낸 이유를 아직 넌 모르지
걷는 것도 힘든 나를 넌 알고 있는지
너를 찾아가 저 지구 반대편도
멀지 않아 머지않아 나는 널 갖겠죠

It s a Cold Cold World Out There
Sometime I Feel As If No Body Cares
I'm Down Down Down
Can Somebody Save Me Now x2

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up Don’t Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
언젠가 웃게 될 거야

나 힘들어도
I Gotta Get Up Don’t Give Up Now
슬픈 내 맘도
이젠 웃게 될 거야

"Beautiful Life Begins" Drunken Tiger Comeback Teaser Part.1 & Part.2

Drunken Tiger Announces New Album “The Cure (살자)” Feat Yoonmirae and Bizzy

The upcoming album title [The Cure] “Let’s Live” is dedicated to those who require a “cure” to pain and suffering.

Drunken Tiger, who finally returns to the music scene after 5 years of hiatus, is releasing a new album that will no doubt impress everyone.  Featuring Yoonmirae and Bizzy, his upcoming album title track “Let’s Live [The Cure]” steps out of the current trendy hiphop music and is instead filled with acoustic vibe and djembe percussions.

Totalling nine tracks, [The Cure] paints a story of a man and his confessions of living his life as a hiphop artist.

The track [Beautiful Life] is about the times of hardship and struggle, and the realization one experiences about his “beautiful life.”

[The Child Excited For First Snowfall (Time Travel) (첫눈이 오면 설레였던 꼬마아이)] celebrates the nostalgic joy of music and the hope that one finds through the psychological time travel. “Life, like a roller coaster, is a series of unexpected twists and turns, where despair follows after happiness, but also the hopes of searching good news within the bad.”

Through [The Cure], Drunken Tiger lends a friendly hand and hopes to bring happiness to those suffering in pain.  The album also features tracks “Sweet Dream”, “BizzyTigerYoonmirae”, “All in Together (뭉쳐)”, GO, and Get It IN, as well as a reggae version of “Let’s Live (The Cure).”

Yoon Mi Rae Earns First K-Pop Hot 100 No. 1 With 'Touch Love'

With over two decades in the industry under her belt, rapper/singer Yoon Mi Rae has a huge new hit with her single "Touch Love," a soundtrack contribution to Korean drama "Master's Sun." While Yoon Mi Rae (also known as T) is known for helping introduce South Korea to the then-absent hip-hop genre, this ballad sees the American flexing her R&B sensibilities. 

The heartfelt midtempo track features Yoon Mi Rae (who's also a member of trio MFBTY) delivering quivering vocals calling out for love. With the piano ballad anchored around an earworm of a hook, expect this one to float around the K-Pop Hot 100 for awhile.

Yoon Mi Rae achieves a 'perfect all-kill' with 'Touch Love'

Female hip-hop artist Yoon Mi Rae (Tasha) has scored a perfect all-kill with her latest OST track, "Touch Love"!

Moving away from her hip-hop roots, "Touch Love" is a soft ballad for the SBS drama, 'The Sun Of My Master'.

Lyrics
Welcome to Lost Valley
움직여 이제 기지개 핀다 로스트 밸리 모험의 시작 X2

신비한 세상 속의 소년처럼 뛰어놀자 야생의 소년처럼 노는 게 힘 노는 게 힘 모험하자 Welcome to Lost Valley X2

꿈에 그렸던 신비한 신기한 동물들
Dream come true (Elephant shoe) 꿈속 뛰놀던 그림들
손에 손을 잡고 잃은 용기를 찾고
모험을 떠나가자 우리 다시 돌아가자

찾아가자 찾아가자 찾아가자 찾아가
소년의 마음으로(아야야야야예예) 놀아보자
로스트밸리로(아야야야야예예) 놀아보자

신비한 세상 속의 소년처럼 뛰어놀자 야생의 소년처럼
노는 게 힘 노는 게 힘 모험하자 Welcome to Lost Valley
왼쪽 오른쪽 온 사방에 동심의 세계가 열려
낭만에 젖은 소년이 되어 난 모험의 톰소여
빨리빨리 모두 모여 노는 게 힘

움직여 이제 기지개 핀다 로스트 밸리 모험의 시작
노는 게 노는 게 노는 게 힘이다 (로스트 밸리로) X4

찾아가자 찾아가자 찾아가자 찾아가
소년의 마음으로(아야야야야예예) 놀아보자
로스트밸리로(아야야야야예예) 놀아보자

신비한 세상 속의 소년처럼 뛰어놀자 야생의 소년처럼 노는 게 힘 노는 게 힘 모험하자 Welcome to Lost Valley X2

움직여 이제 기지개 핀다 로스트 밸리 모험의 시작 X2

MIB feat. Tasha - Money In The Building

여자들은 그래 이왕 놀러 온 김에
클럽에서 돼보자 이름 뒤에 붙는 히메
노골적으로 티 내 앙탈스런 기집애
근데 넌 별로 안 이뻐 물론 몸매는 반비례
영광으로 알아 널 선택한 것에 대해
내가 궁금한 건 이름 말고 니 번호 11개
안 걸릴게 치매 저기 패배자들은 끝나고
ESPN과 함께 먹는데 치맥
넌 늑대가 무섭니 그래 나는 '이리'도 무섭지
피카소도 못 그리는 우리 둘의 그림
우린 블랙잭 난 Ace 넌 Queen

Sexy한 Lip에 나온 애드립
너는 화려한 Christmas Tree
Not At All Baby Not At All 좀 더 아래로 *2

I'm Burn It Up Gonna Make You 미치도록 Over
Turn It Up Gonna Let Them Music Bring Us Closer
In This Club Gonna Make It 멈추지 마 Forever Get It Out

Yeah 달려라 달려
무슨 말이 필요하겠어 Volume Up 시키고
한 잔씩 걸치고 시작할 거니까
첫 잔을 먼저 들이켜 Swallow
Let`s Talk About It 한 번 더 상기시켜
후덥지근해 미치겠잖아 환기시켜
야 오늘만큼은 애인 꽤 많이 지나쳤나봐 와 어지럽네
Ugk Huh 게워네 중간에 빠지는 법은 안 배웠네
끝까지 살아남아 봐라 나랑 너
지금 어느 곳이 필요한지 알아

Sexy한 Lip에 나온 애드립
너는 화려한 Christmas Tree
Not At All Baby Not At All 좀 더 아래로 *2

I'm Burn It Up Gonna Make You 미치도록 Over
Turn It Up Gonna Let Them Music Bring Us Closer
In This Club Gonna Make It 멈추지 마 Forever Get It Out

만남을 고민 말어 신중하게 너 생각하지 말어
오늘 밤이 지나면은 또다시 우리 보지 않을 거를 알어
아까부터 봐왔어 Baby Girl 준비가 됐으면은 Baby Let It Go
이제는 데리고 나가 너 내 손을 잡아
아가 서둘러 왜냐면 벌써졌어 해가
Uh 시간이 없어 고민할 생각은 하면 할수록 멀미나
굳이 겁이 나지 않으면 Follow Me Now Yeah

Sexy한 Lip에 나온 애드립
너는 화려한 Christmas Tree
Not At All Baby Not At All 좀 더 아래로 *2

I'm Burn It Up Gonna Make You 미치도록 Over
Turn It Up Gonna Let Them Music Bring Us Closer
In This Club Gonna Make It 멈추지 마 Forever Get It Out

오늘이 아니면 내일은 어때 내일이 아니면 나는 손 떼

너는 나에게서 절대로 못 떼 왜 묻힐 거야 나의 손 때

눈높이를 맞춰 Eye Contact 다른 건 없어 넌 나의 선택

뭐가 그리도 걱정돼 내일은 없다고

MIB feat. Tasha - Hello Goodbye

아무것도 보이지가 않아
아무것도 들리지가 않아
그 어떤 향기조차 달거나 쓴맛조차
이젠 내게 아무것도 느껴지지 않아
만남과 이별이란 반복
매일 새벽 데이트 코스였던 한남동
가로등 불이 꺼지듯 아침이 되어서야
잠이 들지 날 제발 그만 좀
괴롭혔으면 해 너도 외로웠으면 해
우리였던 모든 기억들을 휴지통으로 던져버려
과연 겨울에서 다시 봄으로

And I Wonder Are You Out There
Are You Out Doing The Same Thing
What I'd Give To Have You Closer
For You I Would Give Anything

Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
너 땜에 울기도 하고 그리워 욕도 해보고
Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
넌 어떻게 눈물 없이 떠나버렸니

너와 나 둘이 매번 미리 정해놨었던 마무리
웨딩드레스 And 턱시도 부케를 받은 아가씨
이 모든 게 나에게는 모두 꿈이었던 걸까
아무도 오지 않는 빈집 바람과 함께 사라지잖아
Hello And Bye Looking For Your Ma
커피는 시럽을 넣은 듯 만듯한 Regular Size And Rol l된
계란과 치즈라면 하나 소박한 듯 보이지만 속은 꽉 찬 사랑
내가 말로는 뭘 못해 멎은 내 심장을 Shopping해
멍청이가 쏘아 올린 공은 높이 날지 못해
그래 난 사람을 알았을 땐 사랑은 Fail
사랑을 알았을 땐 사람은 Fail

And I Wonder Are You Out There
Are You Out Doing The Same Thing
What I'd Give To Have You Closer
For You I Would Give Anything

Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
너 땜에 울기도 하고 그리워 욕도 해보고
Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
넌 어떻게 눈물 없이 떠나버렸니

눈물 없이 떠나버린 널 찾아 헤매
여기 너 안 보이는 밤거리 나 머저리 같애
마주치고 싶지만 솔직히 용기 안나 가끔 이런 날 보면 욕이
이제 그만 괴롭혔으면 해 너도 외로웠으면 해
이제 그만 괴롭혔으면 해 너도 외로웠으면 해

Hello Goodbye Hello Goodbye
And I Wonder Are You Out There
Are You Out Doing The Same Thing
What I'd Give To Have You Closer
For You I Would Give Anything

Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
너 땜에 울기도 하고 그리워 욕도 해보고
Do U Ever Think About Ever Think About Me
넌 어떻게 눈물 없이 떠나버렸니

'Iron Man 3′ Seoul Premiere

Tiger JK rates Yoon Mi Rae’s rap skills

It seems Tiger JK doesn’t have anything but praise for his wife Yoon Mi Rae.

On the latest YTN‘s ‘Issue and People‘, the couple came out to talk about the project group MFBTY and their performance in Cannes, France. Tiger JK said, “People thought Yoon Mi Rae would just dance and sing with me, but it all ended when she started rapping. Everyone only looked for Yoon Mi Rae, so I was disappointed. She’s a talent that’s wasted,” adding that he believes she has the skills to make it to the top globally.

Yoon Mi Rae commented, “It’s not because I got married to him, but because I got close to him as an artist. I think he’s a musical genius, and I think the same of Bizzy oppa. I’m glad the three of us got together.”

They’re both pretty talented. Wouldn’t you say?

Tiger JK: “There Was a Strange Kind of Prejudice in France”

Tiger JK recently commented on his interesting experiences while performing at a festival in France! Tiger JK recently appeared at the March 18 broadcast of YTN’s “News 12 – Issue and People.” MFBTY (Tiger JK, Yoon Mirae, and Bizzy) performed at the “K-Pop Night Out at MIDEM 2013” on January 27 in France.

Tiger JK stated, “The world music festival was held at the same place as the Cannes International Film Festival. We (MFBTY) were chosen to represent South Korea. Although we were very nervous, it ended well. It was neat because afterwards we became more well-known.”

He continued, “There was a weird kind of discrimination. It was not really racial discrimination but there was a lot of prejudice about Asians. It was hard for us to pursue our activities. Although we went to represent South Korea, they treated Asians as if they were invisible. We had no presence and we had no expectations because of that.”

He continued, “It was our stage and we even took our own press. However, they did not think of us as artists. There was a happening where we could not even get into our own performance. In the end we did get on stage, and it was a historic moment where for the first time as an Asian a lot of people danced and sung together.” 

Tiger JK ended with, “After the performance, we were walking on the street and people recognized us, it felt great. After our performance, a lot of people liked us more.”
