Hangeul

내가 설 곳을 찾을 수가 없을 때
폭풍 속에서 길을 잃어버렸을 때
언제나 변하지 않는 사랑과 용길 주셨던
그들에게 감사를 보내요
때론 혼자라고 느꼈을 때가 있었죠
많이 울었던 지난날의 내 모습에
얼마나 마음이 아팠을까요
힘들었을까요
이제서야 난 알 것만 같아요
내 인생이 끝날 때까지
이 세상이 끝날 때까지
우린 영원히 함께 있을 거예요
작은 마음 모아 큰 힘 되듯
우린 하나란 것을 믿고 있어요
우리함께 행복 만들어요
메마른 세상 속에 빛이 되는 날까지
사랑해요
나와 같은 꿈을 꾸고있나요
정말 나와 같은 곳을 바라보고 있나요
그것만이 세상의 모든 아픔을 치료할 수 있어요
서로 아껴 줄 수 만 있다면
내 인생이 끝날 때까지
이 세상이 끝날 때까지
우린 영원히 함께 있을 거예요
작은 마음 모아 큰 힘 되듯
우린 하나란 것을 믿고 있어요
우리함께 행복 만들어요
메마른 세상 속에 빛이 되는 날까지
사랑해요
우리 앞에서 절망해버린 사람들이 있다면
다시 일어날 큰 힘이 돼 줘야해
나와 같은 가족의 손길이 필요할 테니까
작은 마음 모아 큰 힘 되듯
우린 하나란 것을 믿고 있어요
우리함께 행복 만들어요
메마른 세상 속에 빛이 되는 날까지
사랑해요

According to Newsen, SM Entertainment will be releasing another idol group for the first time in three years.
An insider has reported that SM Entertainment will be releasing a boy group, bringing together Korean, Japanese, and Chinese members in order to better reach out to a more international audience. The number of members have yet to be decided, however the group will be also working as units after their official debut.
SM Entertainment has not released a new idol group after the release of f(x) back in September of 2009. SM artists have grouped together to form the ‘SM the ballad’, but no new faces have emerged from the agency.
For the past two years, SM has been putting on SM TOWN LIVE concerts all over the world, spreading K-pop awareness in Japan, China, Southeast Asia, as well as crossing over to Europe, and completing successful sold-out shows in major American cities such as Los Angeles and New York.
SM Entertainment has successfully promoted their artists through their official SNS and Youtubechannel, and likewise, fans will be able to immediately receive updates on their new upcoming idol group through these sources as well. What’s garnering more attention is the fact that SME is breaking the current trend of girl groups and will be releasing an all-male idol group.
