Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
쟤넨 컷을 외쳐 난 One take에 가지Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): jyae·nen keo·seu roe·cheo nan One take-e ga·ji
Meaning: They yell cut, I go in one take
Words in this line- 쟤넨jyae·nenthose people
- 컷을keo·seucut
- 외쳐roe·cheoshout
- 난nanI
- One take에One take-ein one take
- 가지ga·jigo
컷 is the film call 'cut', 외쳐 means 'shout', 가지 means 'go'. Together: others stop and reshoot, while I nail it in a single take.
세상은 다 NG 왜 겁 먹어 씹고 뱉지Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): se·sang·eun da NG wae geom meo·geo ssip·kko baet·jji
Meaning: The world is all NG, why be scared? I chew it and spit it out
Words in this line- 세상은se·sang·eunthe world
- 다daall
- 왜waewhy
- 겁geomfear
- 먹어meo·geoeat (get scared)
- 씹고ssip·kkochew and
- 뱉지baet·jjispit out
Word for word: The world all NG, why fear eat? Chew and spit
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 겁 먹어 literally means 'eat fear', but 겁(을) 먹다 is the idiom 'get scared'. NG is the film term for a failed take, so the world is a pile of bad takes. 씹고 뱉지, 'chew and spit', means to dismiss something with contempt.
난 Loop을 깨고 가 끝까지Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): nan Loop-eul kkae·go ga kkeut·kka·ji
Meaning: I break the loop and go all the way
Words in this line- 난nanI
- Loop을Loop-eulthe loop
- 깨고kkae·gobreaking
- 가gago
- 끝까지kkeut·kka·jito the end
Word for word: I Loop breaking go until the end
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 깨고 literally means 'breaking', but 깨다 with Loop means escaping a closed cycle. 가 alone is just 'go' and 끝까지 is 'until the very end'. Together: I don't merely leave, I break out and see it through.
감각을 깨우는 에너지Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): gam·ga·geul kkae·u·neu ne·neo·ji
Meaning: Energy that awakens the senses
Words in this line- 감각을gam·ga·geulsenses
- 깨우는kkae·u·neuawakening
- 에너지ne·neo·jienergy
Word for word: Senses-object awakening energy
Why it doesn't translate word for word: Korean puts the describing clause before the noun, so 'awakening' comes before 'energy'. The particle 을 on 'senses' only marks the object and has no English word. That is why the literal order sounds awkward.

How we make these breakdowns
theIDOL builds every breakdown with AI assistance and automated checks, and publishes a page only after it passes them. An AI model writes the meaning of each line and the word-by-word glosses from the song's timed lyrics. The pronunciation comes from our own rule-based Korean transcriber, which spells how the words sound when sung, sound changes included, not a letter-by-letter romanization. Pages that fail the audio-sync or translation checks are not published, and we quote only a few key lines. If you spot a mistake, write to support@theidol.ai and we will fix it.
