J-Hope - I wonder [lyrics+vocab]
I wonder everything about us Tell me what we do I wonder what we'll be like 어떤 모습일지도 And how we be livin' our lives 세월의 야속 앞에 변함없는지도 미련하게 궁금해 (I wonder everything about us)
→ 어떤 모습일지도 - any form that we'll take on → 세월 - the flowing time → 야속 - cruelty → 변함없다 - to be unchanging → 미련하다 - to linger → 궁금하다 - to wonder, be curious
삶의 끝자락 황혼을 접해도 기대 없이 마주해, love that Yourz 정해진 답은 그저 없고 열렬히 당당하게 무지의 고백 중 치열하게 살았던 만큼 Drawing a perfect, you and I 우리 색채는 뚜렷하니깐 So I wonder, and I wanna
→ 삶 - life → 끝자락 - verge → 황혼을 접하다 - to approach twilight → 기대 - expectations → 마주하다 - to face → 정해지다 - to be decided, destined → 답 - answer → 열렬히 - ardently → 당당하게 - with confidence → 무지 - ignorance → 고백 - confession → 치열하다 - to be passionate, intense → 색채 - colors → 뚜럿하다 - to be clear, distinct
And I wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder where we'll go 'Cause I wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna keep you close There's a hundred million maybes but I gotta know We could keep it alive for life
This love, right now It's all we got, all we need We're happy right now So why don't we ride this feeling? Just dance right now But don't you stop lookin' forward Just enjoy it, this love We can keep forever falling

I’m gonna say smth controversial. Aliens is one of the strongest Arirang songs, I absolutely love Hobis prechorus, genuinely the first time I heard the “do I look too funny? Just move for me.” My jaw DROPPED… it’s about non Korean fans needing to respect the korean aspect of BTS and kind of, the racism they experience.
However they spend the rest of the album speaking mostly english and using an absurd amount of AAVE.
Catering to (and offending) the people they’re critiquing.
I am not black, I cannot speak on that. however it just seems contradictory to me.
