I also want to get the conversation going because I would love to hear what YOU THINK and how YOU INTERPRETED the video. As many of you know, I’ve been taking Korean Language classes part-time for about 3 years so I had an understanding on some of the lyrics but I did do this review without checking the meaning behind the song (I didn’t look up the translation) and went with what I was feeling. I will post the translation at the end of this posting.
If you know me, I’m the type of person who has to listen to a song 4 times before I can give my opinion on it. This song…this song is truly something else. But again, it’s iKON so I don’t expect anything less.
If you have not seen the MV yet, the YOUTUBE is below:
Junhoe: His scene was almost “dominate” to me. You see her following him, pulling him and with the same force, he pushes her also. It is like a lack of attention but also a sense of “pride”. She waits for him but he is always late or he never shows up. His scene is the only one where you can see both of them like literally crying so you can tell that he “doesn’t mean” to but there is still no changes.
Donghyuk: His scene to me calls out “distance”. He is cold and continues to walk away from her even though she tries to hold on to him. His emotions doesn’t seem to be affected by her tears and he even tells her to not trust him like a fool because it was all a lie.
Bobby: His scene is what I call “sinner” and she is pure and he doesn’t want to corrupt her. In his scenes you see him and her in “Heaven” and then he is suddenly running away from her and she is trying to catch up to him. He keeps leaving her in the “Heaven” while he runs his way towards “Hell”.
B.I: His scene is straight up “Selfish”. His face is cold and he looks upset when she walked away from him and got into the car and locked it. She looks like she has finally given up. Given up on his and his selfish ways and that is something he isn’t used to. His lyrics states that he doesn’t do anything for her but at the end they always just do what he says.
Jinhwan: His scene was pretty obvious that she passed away. His part of the song was “That promise we made to be together forever. No longer exists. I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it”. He is sorry that he couldn’t protect her (maybe from whatever it was that she died from) and all those sweet promises they made can no longer be vailed.
Yungyeong: His scene was also obvious. He cares more about going out with his friends then spending time with her. He is out every night and yet she has to be the one who comes and finds him. In his scene, you can see that he is out and his face is just neutral as she approaches him. He feels guilty of course but does he do anything to change it? No.
Chanwoo: His scene looks like “long distance” relationship where there is a lot of waiting. His continuing to miss her calls and not checking back in. He looks almost military so I took it as maybe he is far away or living somewhere else from her but is not able to check in or doesn’t check in when he should. Making her wait…hence all those chairs with only them there and he still chooses to sit away from her.
Again, this is what I felt and my thoughts after watching the video. Below I have also posted up the lyrics and translation. So talk to me…what did you think about the video? With the translation listed below, how do you feel about the song…I love to talk to people about music and what better way on doing that then to talk with my readers.

언제나 넌 같은 자리에
항상 날 기다렸지만
I was gone I was gone
바보같이 나를 믿지 마
영원히 널 지키겠단 말
거짓말 거짓말
오늘따라 자주 보던 TV Drama에선
뻔한 장면들이 날 보며 비웃고 있어
난 마치 죄인처럼 run away
넌 오늘도 내게 소리 질러 go away
내가 이기적인 놈이란 걸
넌 알고 있었잖아
사소한 관심을 바란 네가
부담스러웠나 봐
그 흔한 사진 한 장도
남기지 못한 채
마지막 순간까지도
우린 나만 생각해
미안 미안
지켜주지 못해 미안해 잘 살길바래
미안 미안 너도 날 잊어줘
아프지만
영원히 함께하잔 그 약속
이제는 없는 거야
지켜주지 못해서 미안해
언제나 난 다른 자리에
매일 밤 나의 친구들과
I’m out, all night
뒤집어놓은 내 전화기엔
너의 마지막 한 통의
부재중 전화
오늘따라 흘러나오는 Radio에선
같이 즐겨 듣던 노래가 나오고 있어
난 마치 죄인처럼 run away
넌 오늘도 내게 소리 질러 go away
너에게 오고 가는
사람들 중
한 명이기를 바람 그리고
눈물 벚꽃 모두 떨궈
새싹 피기를 바람 그리고
우리 추억 노을처럼
짧고 아름답기를 바래 이 모든 것
발을 못 뗀 너의 가냘픈 등
기분 좋게 밀기를
미안 미안
지켜주지 못해 미안해 잘 살길바래
미안 미안 너도 날 잊어줘
아프지만
영원히 함께하잔 그 약속
이제는 없는 거야
지켜주지 못해서 미안해
지금까지 차마 못 했던 말
미안해 내가 부족해
끝까지 작은 모습뿐 이라서 yeah
널 채워주지 못한 나를
용서해
나보다 괜찮고 잘난 사람 만나길 바래
미안 미안
지켜주지 못해 미안해 잘 살길바래
미안 미안 너도 날 잊어줘
아프지만
영원히 함께하잔 그 약속
이제는 없는 거야
지켜주지 못해서 미안해
English Translation:
You always waited for me
At the same place as always but
I was gone I was gone
Don’t trust me like a fool
I said I’d protect your forever
but it was all a lie, lie
For some reason, today the TV dramas I always watched
have such cliché scenes that seem to be laughing at me
As if I’m a sinner I just run away
And yet again, you yell at me to go away
You always knew that
I’m a selfish kind of guy
I guess I felt burdened
By you when you were just asking for the slightest of attention
Without even leaving a single photo
like everyone else takes
Until the very last moment
We only think of me
Sorry sorry
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you, I hope you’ll be well
Sorry sorry I hope you forget me as well
Although it hurts
That promise we made to be together forever
No longer exists
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I’m always at different places
Every night with my friends
I’m out all night
My phone’s flipped over but on it is
Your one last
Missed call
For some reason, today the radio’s playing
The songs we enjoyed together
As if I‘m a sinner I just run away
And yet again, you yell at me to go away
And I hope I’m just one of the many people in your life
That comes and goes
I hope that as the tears and cherry blossoms fall
There will be new life sprouting from them and
I hope our memories are short and beautiful
Just like the sunset, and I hope
All of these things are able to
Push at your slender back with good nature
Even though you still haven’t been able to take your feet off the ground
Sorry sorry
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you. I hope you’ll be well
Sorry sorry I hope you forget me as well
Although it hurts
That promise we made to be together forever
No longer exists
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you
I’m sorry that I’m not enough
That until the very end I only show you such a small part of me yeah
Please forgive me, For not being able to fill you up
I hope you meet someone
That’s better than me, kinder than me
Sorry sorry
I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you, I hope you’ll be well
Sorry sorry I hope you forget me as well
Although it hurts
That promise we made to be together forever
No longer exists
I’m sorry I couldn’t keep it
