On this Saturday, we look back at a song that brought tears to countless Blackjacks. Released in 2017 after their disbandment, “Goodbye” was 2NE1’s final message—raw, emotional, and honest. But as we now know, it wasn’t truly goodbye. In 2024, they reunited to celebrate their 15th anniversary, proving their bond—and our love—is forever.

Let’s revisit a line that still lingers in the heart:

“오늘이 지나가면

내일은 다를 것만 같아

너 없이 잘 살아갈 수 있을까”

“When today passes,

Tomorrow might feel different.

Will I be able to live well without you?”

💡 Language & Emotion Tip:

The soft flow of -것만 같아 and -수 있을까 mirrors hesitation and emotional vulnerability. These endings aren’t bold statements—they’re questions, full of yearning, uncertainty, and quiet fear. Perfectly matched to a song that didn’t say “we’re gone,” but “we’re still holding on.”
