Gyubin is back with “Cappuccino”, and this time she’s mixing sweetness with attitude.

The song’s jazzy groove and cheeky lyrics tell the story of a girl who knows what she wants — even if the boy’s been playing around. It’s not heartbreak; it’s playful challenge.

Let’s look at this line, which could be straight from a K-drama:

“넘겨봐, 지금 네 앞에

Tarot cards, 두근두근 대”

“Flip them over — right in front of you,

the tarot cards are pounding with excitement.”

—

🔮1️⃣ 넘겨봐 – “Flip (them) over / Turn the page”

• 넘기다 → to flip, turn over (like a page or card)

• -어/아 보다 → try doing something

→ 넘겨봐 = “Try flipping it over.”

💡 Grammar note:

The ending -봐 (from -보다) softens the command, making it sound playful or teasing rather than strict.

Here it feels like she’s inviting him to reveal his fate — a mix of flirtation and challenge.

—

🃏2️⃣ 지금 네 앞에 – “Right in front of you”

• 지금 → now

• 네 → your / you (informal)

• 앞에 → in front of

💡 Grammar tip:

N + 앞에 means “in front of N.”

Together, this phrase sets the scene — the tarot cards are laid out before him, and fate is about to be revealed.

—

✨3️⃣ Tarot cards – (English insert)

Using English nouns like this is common in K-pop. It gives rhythm and visual texture to the lyric.

Here, “Tarot cards” immediately evokes a mystical image — a girl who’s in control, reading destiny like it’s a game.

💡 Cultural note:

In Korea, tarot readings are a popular date activity among young people — not about real fortune-telling but playful chemistry and curiosity.

—

💓4️⃣ 두근두근 대 – “(My heart) beats fast”

• 두근두근 → onomatopoeia for heartbeat (“thump-thump”)

• 대다 → to keep doing / to repeat an action

→ Together: “to keep pounding / thumping.”

💡 Grammar note:

Adding -대다 intensifies repetition, so 두근두근 대 suggests continuous excitement or nervous energy — hearts fluttering, emotions racing.

☕ Why It Matters

This line captures the flirty tension of “Cappuccino” perfectly — playful, unpredictable, a little bit dangerous.

By pairing everyday Korean with English elements and soft imperatives like 넘겨봐, Gyubin creates a scene that feels spontaneous and cinematic.

She’s not a girl waiting for love — she’s the one dealing the cards.
