Moonbyul is back with Goodbyes and Sad Eyes, a breakup song that isn’t drowning in sorrow — instead it shines with confidence and excitement for what’s next. The rocky guitars and driving rhythm underline this new beginning.
Here’s a key line to learn:
“뒷모습도 빛날
날 전부 잊어도 괜찮아”
“Even my back will shine,
it’s okay if you forget me completely.”
⸻
📝 Key Grammar & Vocabulary
1️⃣ 뒷모습도 빛날 – Even my back (figure walking away) will shine
- 뒷모습 = back view, the way someone looks from behind
- -도 = also, even
- 빛나다 → 빛날 = to shine → future tense form (“will shine”)
→ Future tense used without a subject = poetic compression (“my back will shine”).
2️⃣ 날 – Me (object form)
- Shortened from 나를 (“me”)
- Object marker -를 is often omitted in lyrics/poetry.
3️⃣ 전부 – completely, all
- Emphasizes entirety. Common intensifier in daily use.
4️⃣ 잊어도 괜찮아 – It’s okay if you forget (me)
- 잊다 → 잊어 = to forget → casual form
- -도 = even if
- 괜찮아 = it’s okay
→ Full conditional: “Even if you forget, it’s fine.”
⸻
💡 Language Tip:
The structure -아/어도 괜찮아 = “it’s okay even if …” is super common.
Ex: 늦어도 괜찮아 = “It’s okay even if you’re late.”
