Today is a huge day for boy group releases, and we’ll start with NCT WISH and their brand new song “Color.” The MV bursts with vivid tones, the melody glows like a rainbow, and the lyrics are drenched in warmth — painting love itself as a spectrum of emotions. 💕

Here’s one line to highlight:

“안아줘 뜨겁게

시간은 너무 빨라”

“Hug me tightly, passionately,

time passes far too quickly.”

📝 Key Grammar & Vocabulary

1️⃣ 안아줘 – Hug me

• 안다 = to hug, to hold

• -아/어 주다 = do something for someone → 안아주다 = hug (for me)

• -줘 = shortened imperative (“please do it”)

→ “Hug me.”

2️⃣ 뜨겁게 – Passionately / hotly

• From 뜨겁다 = hot

• -게 = adverb ending (“in a … way”)

→ “In a hot/passionate way.”

3️⃣ 시간은 – As for time

• 시간 = time

• -은 = topic marker

→ “Time (speaking of time).”

4️⃣ 너무 빨라 – Too fast

💡 Language Tip:

Notice the -아/어 주다 structure in 안아줘. This form adds warmth and softness to requests, turning a command into something closer to “do this for me.” It’s one of the most common ways lyrics sound both intimate and pleading.

💬 Why It Matters:

In just two short lines, “Color” captures both intimacy and transience: a passionate embrace against the rush of time. NCT WISH are painting love as fleeting yet vivid — the kind of moment you want to hold on to before it fades.
