A departure from his party anthems, this track sits among his more reflective work like 'I Remember You' and 'Good Day Will Come'.
The lyric leans hard on the contradiction between acknowledging life's pain, 'Sarami nappeu-go sarangi apeu-go', and still demanding a smile at departure.
It's a willful kind of optimism, the kind that knows it might be lying to itself but says it anyway.

Never say goodbye yeongwonhan geon eopt-gie yeongwonhan ibyeoldo eom-neun geoya
The lyric leans hard on the contradiction between acknowledging life's pain, 'Sarami nappeu-go sarangi apeu-go', and still demanding a smile at departure. It's a willful kind of optimism, the kind that knows it might be lying to itself but says it anyway.
The repeated command 'Never say goodbye' feels less like a hopeful wish and more like a stubborn refusal to accept an ending. It answers the fear that 'yeongwonhan geon eopt-gie', nothing is forever, by insisting the opposite, that a forever goodbye doesn't exist if you just don't say the words.
It states the song's entire argument in one couplet: since nothing lasts forever, a forever farewell can't be real either. The logic is circular and defiant, which is the point.
The way the phrase 'useumyeo tteonaneun geoya', leaving with a smile, hangs in the chorus lingers, a small, difficult instruction against the grain of the song's own melancholy.
