Why Koreans care

The captioned lyrics progress from 좋아해 (joahae, “I like you” or “I love you”) to 내 곁에 있어 (nae gyeote isseo, “Stay by my side”) and finally 헤어짐은 없을 거야 (heeojimeun eopseul geoya, “There will be no parting”). Listen for that shift from affection to a promise of staying together.

In the Korean comments

One comment offers a specific detail to watch for, saying in translation: “Minju always says there is no light in her eyes, but her eyes sparkle when she looks at the fans onstage.”

What the words mean

심장마비옴 (simjangmabi om) literally means “a heart attack came.” In the comment saying everyone is so cute that “심장마비옴,” (simjangmabi om, my heart can't handle it) it is casual, exaggerated praise: the cuteness is almost too much to handle, not a literal medical statement.
