Musuri

Musuri is a Korean term referring to female slaves in charge of odd chores in the court during the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Their main tasks were miscellaneous works such as drawing water from a well, making a fire in the fireplace or cleaning.

Etymology

Every palace had wells, and drawing water and delivering it as needed were an important part of a tomusuri's duty. For this reason, musuri were also called susa (水賜, literally "giving water") or susai (水賜伊, a female in charge of giving water) and their residence was called a susagan (水賜間, a place for those drawing water). On the other hand, male slaves were called paji (巴只). Although the terms, susai and paji do not appear in Goryeosa, a book compiled about the "History of Goryeo", the Annals of King Taejong (Taejong sillok) mention the class. From this record the Joseon royal court followed the system of the former state; Goryeo, young boys designated as male slaves were called paji, in charge of cleaning in the court, while female slaves were called susai. The record indicates that the system of susai and paji existed since the Goryeo Dynasty.

Breathe

by: Massari

Lately you've been getting upset
With every little thing I say
Feel like I'm losing my friend
But I don't wanna say goodbye
Maybe all we need is a little bit space
Before we pack it up
Throw it all away
I'm tryin' to make it right
But all we do is fight
It feels like these walls are closin' in
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We can talk about that shits
All night long
But we ain't getting nothing solved
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We just keep on going back and off
It don't make sense anymore
We gotta let it breathe (Breathe)
We gotta let it breathe (Breathe)
Girl remember we would talk all night
And I would kiss you through the phone (Ohhh)
Try to kiss but you was wearing in bed
I know it always turns you on
Maybe all we need is a little bit space
Before we pack it up
Throw it all away
I'm tryin' to let you know
Don't wanna let you go
I can't let this starts the fool way
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We can talk about that shits
All night long
But we ain't getting nothing solved
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We just keep on going back and off
It don't make sense anymore
We gotta let it breathe (Breathe)
Take a little time to breathe (Breathe Breathe)
We gotta let it breathe (Breathe)
Take a little time to breathe
Tell me how the hell we ended up here
We used to be so close (Ohhh)
And baby when you love somebody
You gotta learn to let him go
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
(We gotta let it breathe)
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We can talk about that shits
All night long
But we ain't getting nothing solved
We gotta
We gotta let it
Breathe Breathe Breathe
(We gotta let it breathe)
Breathe Breathe Breathe
We just keep on going back and off
