It’s been over a year since her last release, but today Soojin finally makes her long-awaited comeback with “Baditude”. She doubles down on her bold “Baddie” persona with razor-sharp lyrics, fierce charisma, and a dance break that absolutely kills.

Let’s take a closer look at this line:

“수많은 noise 서늘한 poise

움츠렸던 날 드러내”

“Countless noise, a chilling poise,

I reveal the me that once shrank away.”

📝 Key Grammar & Vocabulary

1️⃣ 수많은 noise – Countless noise

    •    수많은 = countless, numerous

    •    English loanword noise → here: chatter, gossip, criticism.

→ “Endless noise (from others).”

2️⃣ 서늘한 poise – A chilling poise

    •    서늘하다 = cool, chilly (literally temperature, but also figurative = cold attitude)

    •    poise = English loanword, calm composure, elegance.

→ Together: “A cold, composed confidence.”

3️⃣ 움츠렸던 날 – The me that had shrunk away

    •    움츠리다 = to shrink, to cower (physically or emotionally)

    •    -던 = past modifier (something that used to happen)

    •    날 = me (abbreviated from 나를)

→ “The self that once shrank back.”

4️⃣ 드러내 – Reveal, show

    •    드러내다 = to reveal, expose

    •    Imperative/statement form: “(I) reveal / show (it).”

→ Declares confidence: “I reveal myself.”

💡 Language Tip:

The construction Verb-던 describes a past, incomplete, or habitual action.

Ex:

    •    웃던 아이 = the child who used to smile

    •    걷던 길 = the road I used to walk

Here: 움츠렸던 날 → “the me that used to shrink away.”
