neol pyohyeon hagin bujokhajanha
This is a song about the failure of language in the face of real feeling. The more he says 'ippeuda,' the less it seems to mean, which is exactly the point.
The lyric circles the phrase 'neol pyohyeon hagin bujokhajanha', 'it's not enough to express you.' It's not about finding new words, but about the old ones wearing out from overuse. The singer keeps saying 'you're beautiful' until the compliment sounds hollow even to him.
That line admits the whole project is failing. No amount of saying 'you're beautiful' will ever be enough, so he just has to keep saying it anyway.
The way the melody climbs on 'ippeuda ippeuda ippeudanikka' feels like someone trying to convince themselves as much as the person they're singing to.
