121202 SBS 아이러브인 토크 데이트 中 용화의 질문 IloveIn Talk Date

[Trans]
Yonghwa's problem narrated by BMK (00:17~):
"I'm a 24-old guy from Busan, who is a singer."
I think you know him.
"I'm very happy when I'm on stage, but it feels so empty once I come back down. How should I overcome this emptiness?"
asks CNBLUE's Jung Yonghwa. By chance, do you (know him)..?

Pastor Cha Dong Yup: Yes, I know him. The good-looking, "flower-beautiful" guy.

BMK: Like you, Pastor. (laughs)

CDY: I'll take that.

BMK: So he says, how does he get over this emptiness?...

CDY: How did he tell my problem like his own? In fact, I have the same condition. After the spotlight and the applause, I step down and feel the same. BMK, don't you feel the same, too? Can you please tell us a good solution?

BMK: You're very wise, subtly passing it over to someone else. This is a great solution, too. When the burden's too heavy, just pass it over...(jokes) For me, too, if I leave the stage after your passionate cheers, sometimes I feel empty. I think there can be a shift in the way of thinking. What if you kept replaying the applauses, so that you continue to feel happy? If you change the point of view, then it's no longer empty but you're filled, like portioning out and eating what you've stocked up...sorry I keep talking about eating.

CDY: It's very persuasive. I'm being persuaded.

BMK: As for me, I portion out your love until I have the next opportunity.

CDY: That's a good way. For me, I think that receiving applause is happiness derived from outside. If you're too dependent on happiness that's only derived from outside, it's difficult to be free from it. So please continue to question how to find happiness from within. To think in terms of time, the lifetime spent offstage is much longer than onstage. As the majority of your life is lived offstage, try to practice finding happiness in your life there (offstage).

Thanks so much for translating. T..T.. Yonghwa, I agree with CDY. Need to find your happiness off stage as well as on stage... Please always be happy & healthy..<3

I'm glad Yong Hwa is asking these questions and getting words of wisdom like these now. So many talented rockstars rise fast with fame only to have it all come crashing down when they start to chase new highs to replace the emptiness off stage. Drugs, women, fast cars... What the priest says is so true. We cannot be too dependent on happiness from the outside as they are all temporal.

Thanks for the translations!
