Saturday, Hyo Joo Kim celebrated her birthday, not with the traditional singing of "Happy Birthday to You," but with a custom song recording from her fan club.
Hyo Joo Kim Fan Café, a Korean based group of nearly 4,000 members, wanted to do something special for their favorite player’s 23rd birthday. Haein and Dain, sisters and members of the fan club, recorded “Towards the Stars” for Kim’s special day.
“The song is really impressive, and I am again touched by the passionate cheering from the fan café,” said Kim, who is competing this week at the Marathon Classic in Ohio. “I can't thank them enough. I have got more motivation for the LPGA tour life with this song."
The song is available in both Korean and English. Click here to listen to the song.
Lyrics:
Verse 1.
Looking at you, our expectations are high.
The image that you will set off, the bright star in the sky.
When the white light flies across the blue sky, riding on the wind.
We send you our heart towards that light.
Shine your star in my heart. Give us the stars in our hearts
Shine your star in my heart. Shine brightly in our hearts.
Looking at you, our expectations are high.
The image that you will set off, the bright star in the sky..
Verse 2.
We're gathering all of our hearts to cheer you on.
Wish you will rise to the highest and shine
We will always stand by you, just look for us.
Waving our hands when we smile at you.
Shine your star in my heart. Give us the stars in our hearts
Shine your star in my heart. Shine brightly in our hearts.
Shine your star in my heart. Give us the stars in our hearts
Shine your star in my heart. Shine brightly in our hearts
We're gathering all of our hearts to cheer you on.
Wish you will rise to the highest and shine forever.
