“When my mother-in-law protested against the marriage, I sent the song and lyrics of 4Men’s ‘Confession‘ that I had written for my wife to her via email I also sang the song during the proposal and got my friends to set things up in a hotel for my then girlfriend. We invited her friends and I serenaded her while holding her close.” — 4Men Yoon Min Soo

But if you look all over, you’ll never find a, guy thats like me. I know it seems to be awkward, girl i have faith we’ll make it work. And when the time passes, you’ll look at me and smile away.”
