I just found out today that anchor Kim Suji's side hustle is writing lyrics for kpop groups.
I was watching J-Hope's episode of Omniscient Interfering View and Kim Suji's segment was in the second half of the episode. They showed a view of her bookcase and it had a signed copy of Orange Blood (among other signed albums from different kpop groups like Illit! ♡).
The handwriting on the Orange Blood album (slide 2) reads:
To Kim Suji Anchor-nim, congratulations on becoming anchor for MBC News Desk. [Thank you] always for such great lyrics. [You worked hard/Thank you for your hard work!] Thank you!!
(Being promoted from announcer to anchor, and on News Desk no less, is a huge deal. From what I know, it's an extremely coveted position and not an opportunity most announcers can even think of getting throughout the entirety of their careers. That's, of course, just my limited knowledge and I'm willing to be corrected on this.)
The parts in brackets are what I've inferred from context and from what little is legible in the image, so take it with a grain of salt. The ending "thank you" was also said a bit cutely / kind of like a cute energetic youth?
Standard: 감사합니다 (gahm-sa-hahb-nee-da)
What's in the image: 감사합니닷!! (gahm-sa-hahb-nee-daht)
From my very brief search I've found she's contributed lyrics to Bills, Moonstruck, No Doubt, Loose Korean ver., and Helium.
For "Bills," her contribution was verse 2, sung by Jungwon and Sunoo.
Slide 3 is a screenshot of her post on her main account about her contribution to Bills. She says:
Is there a "good example" to a breakup? This song is about a person who must pay the price of a breakup after tears and regret find them a little too late after they have parted with their love. No but this song is seriously so good…
She also has verse 1 (sung by Jungwon and Sunghoon) written in the caption of this post, but I don't know whether she wrote those lyrics too or not.
She now has a separate public ig account dedicated to her works as a lyricist, but she no longer seems to add which specific lyrics she wrote. She seems to be very open about her writing ventures and seems to readily promote this avenue of her work whenever and wherever she can, so I have left the username for her main account visible.
Are Kim Suji's contributions to Enha's lyrics already known and I just didn't know about it because I'm a newbie? I'm very curious to know.
I'm also not familiar yet with each member's handwriting, so if anyone can give some insight on who probably wrote on the album as a representative for the group, I'd love to know! My bets are on Jungwon though.
