Ever since the YongSeo’s/Sweet Potato Couple’s self-recorded UCC video was uploaded on YouTube, revealing their “Banmal Song”, it became a hit as many fell in love with it and hoped for a studio or official duet version to be released. If you recall on January 5th, it was decided that there WOULD be a studio or official version released on the 14th, but unfortunately, the version would only be sung by Yonghwa himself and parts of the lyrics that Seohyun helped to complete in the original “Banmal Song” would not be included (the reason being that a duet between the two would be impossible due to SNSD’s and CN BLUE’s busy schedules).
Like the news had said, the studio or official version of “Banmal Song” has been released earlier today on the 14th with the new alternative title, “For The First Time Lovers”/”For The First Time Couples In Love”, and although the song is only sung by Yonghwa,
it is still meaningful in terms of the YongSeo/Sweet Potato Couple. If you’ve been watching the YongSeo/Sweet Potato Couple on “We Got Married” faithfully, before the couple’s mission to work on the “Banmal Song” together, Yonghwa had initially started working on the “Banmal Song” by himself for months on his free time and he confessed that the lyrics were dedicated to his wife, Seohyun. He composed the song to reveal his feelings.
For The First Time Couples In Love (BANMAL SONG)
By Jung YongHwa
맨처음 너를 보던 날
수줍기만 하던 너의 맑은 미소도
오늘이 지나면 가까워 질거야
매일 설레는 기대를 해
무슨 말을 건네 볼까
어떻게 하면 네가 웃어줄까
손을 건네보다 어색해질까봐
멋쩍은 웃음만 웃어봐
우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 되기를
아직 조금 서투르고 어색한데도
고마워요 라는 말투 대신
좀 더 친하게 말을 해줄래
우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 될거야
한걸음씩 천천히 다가와
이젠 내 두눈을 바라보며 말을 해줄래
널 사랑해
너와의 손을 잡던날
심장이 멈춘듯한 기분들에
무슨말 했는지 기억조차 안나
마냥 설레는 기분인걸
우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 되기를
아직 조금 서투르고 어색한데도
고마워요 라는 말투 대신
좀 더 친하게 말을 해줄래
우리 서로 반말하는 사이가 될거야
한걸음씩 천천히 다가와
이젠 내 두눈을 바라보며 말을 해줄래
널 사랑해우리 서로 사랑하는 사이가 되기를
잡은 두손 영원히 놓지 않을꺼야
바라보는 너의 눈빛속에
행복한 미소만 있길 바래
우리 서로 사랑하는 사이가 될꺼야
아껴주고 편히 기대면 되
너를 보는 나의 두 눈빛이
말하고 있어
널 사랑해ENGLISH TRANSLATION
The day when I first saw you
Your bright smile full of shyness
we’ll get closer after today
every day, I have heart-fluttering expectations
what to say to you
how to get you to laugh
I fear it’ll get awkward when I try to hold your hand
all I can do is smile shylyHopefully we can speak banmal to each other
even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar
instead of saying ‘thank you’
talk to me in a friendlier wayHopefully we can speak banmal to each other
you walk towards me slowly, step by step
now look at my two eyes and tell me
I love youThe day when I held your hand
I felt my heart stop beating
I don’t even remember what I said
All I feel is a flutter in my stomachHopefully we can speak banmal to each other
even though it’s still awkward and unfamiliar
instead of saying ‘thank you’
talk to me in a friendlier wayHopefully we can speak banmal to each other
you walk towards me slowly, step by step
now look at my two eyes and tell me
I love youHopefully we can fall in love with each other
I’ll never let go of your two hands from my grasp
the light of your eyes, gazing at me
I hope there will only be joyful smilesHopefully we can fall in love with each other
We can lean on one another and take care of each other
Looking into your eyes, my two eyes
they’re talking to you
I love you

The fact that Yonghwa wrote the lyrics while thinking of Seohyun makes me go “awww”. Doesn’t it make your heart flutter…or makes you feel as though you’ve got butterflies in your stomachs? He is so romantic and it reminds me of the time he wrote the rap of CN BLUE’s “Lovelight” while thinking of Seohyun too.
Sweet Potato Couple Forever!

SNSD Korean 
they’re so inlove :)…when they really get married (hopefully someday, lol) i want them to walk down the aisle with this song.
Yonghwa alone is more talented than all snsd girls together.
Eventhough there is no Seoh Yun. Where it doesn’t look perfect without her. But you have to admit. Yong Hwa sang beautifully. I love this song! hopefully Seoh Yun and Yong would develop love for each other even more! Yong Seo Jiang!
Even though Seoh Yun didn’t sing which sucked :(. But you have to admit Yong Hwa sang beautifully. Hopefully Seoh Yun and Yong would develop their love for each other as time passes by! Yong Seo Jiang! I LOVE THIS SONG!
The video and the pictures are like taking a trip down memory lane with these two… I LOOOOOOOOOVE Yongseo…
awww… yonghwa is really really sweet.
i really wish the 2 of them will end up together!!! wun it be so cute??!!
and well, i still hope that there will be studio version of the 2 of them singing. 🙂
I love how snsdkorean is supporting Soshi’s brother-in-law.
I love the two of them so much. kaljsdf I can’t even…
Thanks for sharing ^O^
The caps are like memory lane, only prettier.
Blue and Pink go so well together.
wah love the lyrics :] love this couple hehe
yong has definitely fallen for seohyun ;]
this song made me swoon over the YongSeo couple more..love it to bits!!
Hmm, will there be a response song?
It’s a really cute thing going on.
Idk why, but this makes me sad 😦
Hearing Yong only sing, makes me think of how Seoyhun isn’t seeing then i get all sad.
(but i still very love the song)
Curse the idol’sbusy schedules!
i really really love this song! so sweet~
thou the song still sounded realli realli good but i tink with seohyun it would haf been perfect!…hope they haf an mtv n seohyun in it!!!!
sweet sweeeet song ^^
*sniffles* Yong choding… SO CUTEEEE >.< *nods head* i approve i approve… (not that it means anything.. :P)
its so cute to see how much closer they've gotten… it took a while… A FREAKING LONG WHILE… but they're getting there ^_^
love it so much…..
i understand why ppl say u write better songs when u r in love
ahhhh….CAN I HAVE THEIR GUITAR?….LOVE IT!
ohh….if seohyun would be able to sing is better, but nevermind…i’ll pretend seohyun sang it!
nice song!
SNSD, fighting! ^^
where and how can i buy this!?!?!?!?
:] KYTFan, i believe you can buy it on bugs at http://music.bugs.co.kr/album/257862?wl_ref=new_ab
I really like the song when I first heard it. True I’m a bit sad cuz it’s not a duet, but I feel it is much sweeter that Yonghwa sang solo cuz then it really feels that Yonghwa dedicate this song to Seohyun ^^
O-M-Gee a whole bunch of photospazzing! LOL
it is sad though!
uhmmm but still happy about the outcome…
aigoo~
what is Banmal ?
Informal.
Regardless of how the song turned out, it’s still the same “반말송” we all know and love. Despite a change in lyrics somewhere (I don’t know), mention the melody and this is what most of us relate to.
YongSeo are just love ❤ haha, wow, the song's even beating Hyunbin's Secret Garden song! considering how Secret Garden is really popular right now, that's saying alot!!
I didn’t think Yonghwa could make a sweeter song than Love light, but he did! I totally love this song to death! Even though a duet would’ve been AMAJJING, Yonghwa’s first intention was to make a song dedicated to seobaby, before WGM got involoved. So I’m happy he sang this himself, ONLY FOR HYUN~
I LOVE the song 😀 😀 😀 !!!!! Yes, even though, as mentioned before, Seohyun didn’t get a chance to sing her “part” of the song, but this version sounds so much for “realistic” to me 😉 ! I do believe Yonghwa REALLY MEANS what he wrote with regards to his feelings for “Seobaby” 🙂 🙂 :D. Great that it is getting the recognition that it deserves 😀 !
where can i find a guy that will write songs like this just because i inspired him to write it..
