RYEOWOOK 려욱 'Runaway' MV

What happened

Super Junior vocalist Ryeowook released “Runaway,” a three-track single led by a song that invites an exhausted companion to leave everyday pressures behind temporarily.

Why Koreans care

The lyrics belong to the Korean “healing” register: phrases such as “you don’t have to try any harder” and “it’s okay to take a rest” answer a culture in which endurance and constant effort are often treated as virtues. The seasonal line “come back when the long days grow shorter” frames the escape as a permitted summer pause, not abandoning one’s responsibilities.

What you'd miss

“Runaway” does not mean an irreversible rebellion here. The Korean lyrics repeatedly soften it into 잠시 쉬어 가기, taking a brief restorative detour: wander, get soaked in the rain, and return later. “여름 꽃말 같아” literally resembles “like summer’s flower language,” but functions poetically, treating fleeting blue-green moments as if summer itself carried a symbolic message.
