We’re keeping up last year’s tradition: every Sunday, we hop into the time machine and revisit K-pop history.
Today’s stop takes us to 2020, and yes — we brought a banger with us. EVERGLOW’s “DUN DUN” is a song that still hits just as hard: bold, unapologetic, and overflowing with confidence.
Perfect timing, too — just this week, EVERGLOW announced a world tour, which naturally has many of us hoping that new music isn’t too far away. 👀
Let’s take a closer look at these lines from the chorus:
“나의 눈빛에 갇힌
작은 어린 양같이
Baby 꼼짝 못 할 걸”
“Trapped in my gaze,
like a small, helpless lamb,
baby, you won’t be able to move.”
—
👁️ 나의 눈빛에 갇힌 – “Trapped in my gaze”
- 눈빛 → look, gaze
- 갇히다 → to be trapped
💡 Meaning:
The power dynamic is set immediately. This isn’t physical force — it’s presence, confidence so strong it immobilizes the other side.
—
🐑 작은 어린 양같이 – “Like a small lamb”
- 작다 → small
- 어린 양 → lamb (symbol of innocence, weakness)
- -같이 → like, as if
💡 Nuance:
Using “lamb” creates a sharp contrast. EVERGLOW positions themselves as dominant and fearless, while the other side is portrayed as small, vulnerable, and passive.
—
🛑 꼼짝 못 할 걸 – “You won’t be able to move”
- 꼼짝 못 하다 → can’t move at all
- -걸 → confident assertion
💡 Emotion:
This isn’t a threat — it’s certainty. The speaker already knows the outcome.

✨ Why “DUN DUN” Still Works
“DUN DUN” is peak EVERGLOW: confidence without apology, power without hesitation.
The lyrics don’t ask for validation. They declare dominance — not just over others, but over fear and doubt themselves.
That’s why, years later, the song still feels fresh. And with a world tour on the horizon, it’s hard not to get excited about what EVERGLOW might bring next.
💭 Who’s hoping for a comeback to match — or even surpass — “DUN DUN”?
