My goodness, I LOVE this performance from the Baeksang Awards, of "This Is Me" from "The Greatest Showman."
It's a bunch of veteran actors, on stage, singing their hearts out.
Their performance is imperfect, "let it all hang out, this is me" kind of stirring, and I feel as if they are standing there and encouraging their peers and their juniors, through their example, and through their song.
It's fantastic, and my goodness, some of these actors really can sing! π€©
Plus, it's such a thrill, spotting all the familiar faces!
Please enjoy.

PS: Here are the English lyrics:
I'm not a stranger to the dark
"Hide away", they say
'Cause we don't want your broken parts
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
"Run away", they say
No one will love you as you are
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are bursting through the barricades
And reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)
Won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us
For we are glorious
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
This is me
And I know that I deserve your love
There's nothing I'm not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is bruised
This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause here I come)
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching, marching on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
This is me
