★ Eric Nam - Paradise

1. Lyrics in Korean

새장 안에 갇힌 채로 너무 오래 흘렀어 탈출하겠다는 마음은 전부 잊고말았어

자유라는 열쇠는 갈수�� 멀어지고 그려왔던 미랜 점점 흐려져만 가

이게 전부 라고 믿고싶진 않아도 창밖의 세상은 멀게 느껴져서

Lost in this paradise 영원 같겠지만 다 지나갈거야 Cause we are born to fly

2. Lyrics translated in English

Being locked in a birdcage Time passed so far Thinking about an escape, Already forgot all about it

The key of freedom is Going further away The future that I dreamed is Getting faded away

I don't wanna believe that Everything is done, but The world seen through the window Seems too far away

Lost in this paradise It feels like being forever, but Everything is going to pass by Cause we are born to fly

Korean people had been widely influenced by Confucianism culture since Joseon dynasty(around 15C ~ ). And the culture based on Confucianism is very strict, suppressing one’s own feelings and desires. But as you know, now that kind of thinking has been almost washed out these days, and it became a representative culture of ‘elders’. And ‘Confucianism girls’ means that young girls who didn’t think themselves effected by Confucianism culture realize they were strict in the deep down in their heart. (And who on earth can not be shocked seeing Cardi’s M/V...?)

BTS’ REACTIONS FOR GETTING #1 ON HOT 100 IS SO PURE :(

BONUS: Jimin made a typo (He wrote #JIMIM as he was crying and overwhelmed with joy)…and ARMYs trended it #2 worldwide and in 22 countries (The #1 worldwide was #BTS1Hot100)… Only ARMYs will trend a typo as if it’s nothing and start crying over it. I love us!
