🎮 Plave – “Hide And Seek” | Connecting Through Playful Mystery 🕵️‍♂️✨

Plave, the pioneering virtual boy group, drops a fresh single and a slick performance video that proves even avatars can own the stage. “Hide And Seek” (숨바꼭질) feels like a heartfelt shout‑out to the fandom that fuels their confidence and pushes them forward. Below is the verse that captures that bond:

“조금은 헷갈려 할지도 몰라
너도 그런 걸까?
나도 그래왔었으니까”

“Maybe I’m a little confused,
Are you feeling the same?
Because I’ve been that way, too.”

  • ‑어 – informal connective ending (here part of 헷갈려).
  • 할지도 – “might do”; ‑ㄹ지도 expresses possibility.
  • 몰라 – “don’t know”; short for 모르다.

💡 Language Tip

The pattern ‑ㄹ지도 모르다 (e.g., 할지도 몰라) is a go‑to way to express uncertainty politely. Pairing it with 헷갈리다 adds a nuanced shade of “being a bit puzzled.” Meanwhile, ‑니까 provides a causal link, a staple in Korean explanations—perfect for lyrics that want to justify feelings.

💬 Why It Matters

Plave’s verse flips the typical “hide‑and‑seek” game into a dialogue about mutual confusion and shared experience. By asking the fans if they feel the same and then revealing their own past uncertainty, the group builds a bridge of empathy—turning vulnerability into collective strength. It’s a reminder that even virtual idols rely on genuine connection to move forward.
