the story behind "in heaven"


Much of us already know this. That Jaejoong wrote this song (In Heaven) for his best friend, Park Yongha who committed suicide. (R.I.P Park Yongha, June 30, 2010)


But there is a greater meaning behind the lyrics and the MV. T.T I cried because of this... you must be in great pain Jaejoong-ah. Stay strong!

So, what is it with the lyrics? Isn't it about a girl wanting to separate, but the boy don't want to? And what about the MV? Isn't it about a guy who care about his work more than his girlfriend and when she died, he was given a second chance and he did his best till in the end, both of them are in heaven? (fiuhhh this is the full summary of the 6+ minutes MV)

The answers to these questions are yes and yes, but Jaejoong originally wrote this song for his friend and there's a true story and it is a tragic one.

Jaejoong composed this song to show that everyone has feelings of regret. This song was inspired by actor Park Yongha’s passing. The day before Park Yongha committed suicide, he called Jaejoong to go out for a drink, but since Jaejoong was in the US, recording for the album, he had to pass up on the offer, saying that they would go out for drinks when he got back. Unfortunately, he was unable to make good on the offer as the next day, Park Yonghwa committed suicide, much to Jaejoong’s shock.


It’s really a heartbreaking one. Jaejoong must feel regretful because of this. Unlike the MV, Jaejoong wasn’t given “a second chance” like Junsu had gotten and that he and Yongha are permanently separated from each other. Nawwwww, I want to cry~

T.T
