A fast read before the full lyric

A K-pop anthem about youth that refuses to be told what it doesn't know yet.

Most youth anthems are about freedom or rebellion.

This one is built on a quieter, more stubborn fact: being young means you haven't been worn down by how things are supposed to work.

Editor's note

1THE9's 'We Are Young' and its neon defiance

A K-pop anthem about youth that refuses to be told what it doesn't know yet.

neon eoryeoseo sesangeul ajik molla

Most youth anthems are about freedom or rebellion. This one is built on a quieter, more stubborn fact: being young means you haven't been worn down by how things are supposed to work. The lyric treats that ignorance as fuel, not a flaw.

The phrase 'neon eoryeoseo sesangeul ajik molla', 'because we are young, we still don't know the world', doesn't sound like an apology. It's more like a declaration of permission. They're saying the not-knowing is exactly what lets them run toward the future without that weight.

It's the core of the song's stance. They state their lack of experience not as a weakness, but as the reason they can try anything.

The way 'We are young' repeats, almost chanting, before shifting into Korean. It feels less like a chorus and more like a reminder they're telling themselves.
