Birthday Wish

The Korean context

What happened

NMIXX invites viewers to create a short using “긴 소원” (gin sowon, “a long wish”), whose English title is “Birthday Wish.”

More context

Why Koreans care

The Korean and English titles are related without being identical: “긴 소원” (gin sowon) literally means “a long wish,” while “Birthday Wish” places that wish in a birthday setting.

In the Korean comments

One comment turns the title into a message for the group. In translation, it hopes the song will remain in listeners’ hearts, bring back memories of loving and supporting NMIXX, and let “our long wish” continue with the same feelings far into the future.

What the words mean

“시원시원하게” (siwon-siwonhage, literally “refreshingly”) describes the dancing in one comment. Here it is casual praise for movement that looks bold, open and clean, not a reference to temperature.

I hope NMIXX’s “긴소원” stays in our hearts for a long time 🩵 Even if time passes and this moment becomes a memory, I hope that when you hear this song, you’ll remember how sincerely we loved and supported you. Just as much happiness as you have given us, I hope your future is filled with happy moments too. Even if you listen to this song again someday far in the future, I hope the warmth of these feelings—the way we cherished and loved one another—will never change. I’ll sincerely support NMIXX today, tomorrow, and far into the future. May our 긴소원 continue for a long time with the same feelings. 🩵
