A fast read before the full lyric

A Korean pop duo's 2017 track about chasing dreams despite the risk of falling.

The lyric leans into the Icarus myth without getting trapped by it.

Instead of warning against flying too close to the sun, it treats the fall as a given risk worth taking for the feeling of being airborne.

Editor's note

JJ Project's Icarus flies toward freedom

A Korean pop duo's 2017 track about chasing dreams despite the risk of falling.

jeoldae pogihaji moshae sseureojiji moshae

The lyric leans into the Icarus myth without getting trapped by it. Instead of warning against flying too close to the sun, it treats the fall as a given risk worth taking for the feeling of being airborne.

"jeoldae pogihaji moshae sseureojiji moshae" - 'I absolutely won't give up, I won't fall' - feels less like a boast and more like someone talking themselves through the fear. It's that moment when you're already in the air, looking down, and the only thing left is to keep telling yourself you can do it.

It's a plain, stubborn refusal dressed as a mantra. The repetition isn't for emphasis so much as for steadying the nerves.

The way the vocal delivery tightens on 'duryeowojil ttaemada' - 'every time I get scared' - gives the determination some honest texture.
