A K-pop star's 2000s ballad about hiding from the light to hold onto someone.
Rain lets the title do the heavy lifting here.
Avoiding the sun isn't a metaphor he unpacks; it's a condition he's stuck in, and the lyric doesn't try to fix it.

Rain's 'How to Avoid the Sun' and its quiet ache
A K-pop star's 2000s ballad about hiding from the light to hold onto someone.
tae yang eul pi ha go ship peo seo
Rain lets the title do the heavy lifting here. Avoiding the sun isn't a metaphor he unpacks; it's a condition he's stuck in, and the lyric doesn't try to fix it. That refusal to resolve gives the song its weight.
The phrase 'tae yang eul pi ha go ship peo seo', I want to avoid the sun, keeps coming back. It's not about weather; it's about a person who feels like daylight, too bright to look at directly but impossible to escape. The song circles that feeling of wanting to duck into shadow just to keep a memory intact.
It's the title, and it's the whole problem. Rain sings it like a wish he knows won't come true, which is why the song doesn't really end.
The way he repeats 'ah moo ri ae reul seo doh', no matter where I turn, has a worn-out rhythm, like someone pacing a room.
