First verse: the song, every line and what it means — in sync힘을 다하고 쓰러져도hi·meul da·ha·go sseu·reo·jyeo·doEven if I give my all and collapse.Listen to this line with the translationNo sign-upWhat the song is about
SEVENTEEN's “Super” is a high-energy song about never giving up and crediting a close-knit team for how far they have climbed. They picture themselves as heroes like Son Goku, riding clouds and carrying a magic staff, pushing past trials and exhaustion without rest. A brief stretch admits that truth can be cruel and kindness sometimes false, but all that bad stuff gets gathered into energy and launched skyward, leaving a defiant, joyful mood.
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.
힘을 다하고 쓰러져도Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): hi·meul da·ha·go sseu·reo·jyeo·do
Meaning: Even if I give my all and collapse.
Words in this line- 힘을hi·meulstrength
- 다하고da·ha·goexhaust
- 쓰러져도sseu·reo·jyeo·docollapse
Word for word: Strength exhaust and collapse too.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: The word 다하고 (dahago) means 'exhaust completely,' and 쓰러져도 (sseureojyeodo) means 'even if collapse.' Together they express willingness to give everything despite the risk of failure. It's not literal falling, but a metaphor for total exhaustion.

- 뒤바꿈dwi·ba·kkumswitch up
Word for word: Not-hide we emergence in-progress, still generations flip.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 알리지 않다 literally 'not inform' but means 'not hide'; 등장 중 is an ongoing process; 뒤바꿈 means 'flip/reverse' generations, implying cultural shift and influence.
멈추지 않아 뜀박 중 발이 꼬여도 뒷박Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): meom·chu·ji a·na ttwim·bak jung ba·ri kko·yeo·do dwit·ppak
Meaning: We don't stop jumping, even if our feet tangle, we keep going.

- 않아a·nanot
- 뜀박ttwim·bakjump
- 중jungin progress
- 발이ba·rifeet
- 꼬여도kko·yeo·dotangle
- 뒷박dwit·ppakkeep going
Word for word: Not-stop jump in-progress, feet tangle-even back-jump.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 뜀박 중 literally 'jump in progress', figuratively active motion; 발이 꼬여도 means even if feet tangle (metaphor for obstacles); 뒷박 is continuing forward no matter what.
I love my team 그 덕분에 우린 (마치 된 것 같아 손오공)Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): I love my team geu deok·ppu·ne u·rin (ma·chi doen geot ga·ta so·no·gong)
Meaning: I love my team, because of them we (like I've already become Son Goku).

- 우린u·rinwe
- (마치(ma·chias if
- 된doenbecame
- 것geotthing
- 같아ga·talike
- 손오공)so·no·gong)Son Goku
Word for word: I love my team, that thanks-to we (as if became thing like Son Goku).
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 그 덕분에 (thanks to them) is a grammatical construction showing causality: it's because of the team that we've reached this state of warrior spirit. The final chorus repeat closes the circle: the team is the source of Son Goku's power.
