Since I completely missed KIIRAS’s comeback last month (see yesterday’s post), it’s only fair that I feature them again today — this time with their special Christmas single.

And honestly, that fits perfectly, because from now on we’ll mostly be surrounded by Christmas releases anyway. So in the coming days, not everything I share will be brand-new — some songs have been sitting on my list for a while, just waiting for the right moment. 🎁

These lines from KIIRAS instantly bring on that winter-holiday feeling:

“첫 눈 위로 wish time

또 두근두근, 종소리도

모두 운명같은 걸 또 내게로”

“Wish time on top of the first snow,

my heart beats again, even the sound of bells,

everything feels like fate, coming to me once more.”

—

❄️ 첫 눈 위로 – “On top of the first snow”

• 첫 눈 → first snow

• 위로 → on / above

💡 Cultural note:

In Korea, 첫 눈 (the first snow) is deeply romanticized. It symbolizes new beginnings, wishes, and love — especially in winter songs.

—

✨ wish time – “Time to make a wish”

• wish time → English phrase used stylistically

💡 Meaning:

Mixing English into Korean lyrics gives it a dreamy, pop-like softness. Here it suggests that magical moment when you pause, look at the snow, and quietly wish for something (or someone).

—

💓 또 두근두근, 종소리도 – “My heart flutters again, even the sound of bells”

• 두근두근 → heartbeat / flutter (onomatopoeia)

• 또 → again

• 종소리 → sound of bells

💡 Emotion:

Heartbeats + bells = classic Christmas imagery. Excitement, nervous joy, and that childlike warmth that only winter songs really capture.

—

🌟 모두 운명같은 걸 또 내게로 – “Everything feels like fate, coming to me again”

• 모두 → everything

• 운명같은 → like fate / destined

• 내게로 → toward me

💡 Interpretation:

This line ties everything together: snow, wishes, heartbeats, bells — all of it feels meant to happen, as if winter itself is gently pushing something precious your way.

✨ Why These Lines Feel So Christmassy

KIIRAS blends familiar winter imagery (first snow, bells, fluttering hearts) with soft pop language and a sense of destiny.

It’s not loud or flashy — it’s warm, gentle, and quietly magical.

Perfect for that moment when: the air is cold, the lights are on, and you start believing — just a little — that good things might be on their way.
