The girls of Hearts2Hearts are back — and this time, they just can’t focus!
Their new title track “FOCUS”, from their first EP, is a bubbly, lighthearted pop song full of fluttering hearts and school crush vibes.
The MV once again feels straight out of a K-drama, and the lyrics perfectly capture that feeling of being distracted by one person and one person only.
Let’s check out this part:
“세상 빼기 너 그건 재미없어
넌 내 안에 있어”
“The world minus you — that’s no fun.
Because you’re already inside me.”

💬 Key Phrases to Learn:
1️⃣ 세상 빼기 너 – The world minus you
• 세상 – the world
• 빼기 – subtraction (from the verb 빼다, “to take out / subtract”)
• 너 – you
→ Literally: “world minus you.”
💡 Grammar note: In Korean, using nouns with 빼기 is a creative way to express “without (something).”
→ 커피빼기우유 (“coffee without milk”) — here used poetically for “a world without you.”
2️⃣ 그건 재미없어 – That’s no fun
• 그건 – that (thing)
• 재미없어 – is not fun / boring (from 재미없다)
→ Simple but direct: “That’s boring.”
3️⃣ 넌 내 안에 있어 – You are inside me
• 넌 – you + topic marker (너 + 은)
• 내 안에 – inside me (내 = my, 안에 = inside)
• 있어 – to exist / to be (informal form of 있다)
→ “You are inside me” — emotionally meaning “You’re in my heart.”
4️⃣ 재미없어 / 있어 – informal ending
Both lines use -어 endings (반말), matching the youthful, conversational tone.
💡 It’s common in pop lyrics to use casual grammar to convey closeness or internal monologue.

💡 Grammar Tip:
The contrast between 세상 빼기 너 (“the world without you”) and 넌 내 안에 있어 (“you are inside me”) forms a neat grammatical mirror.
Both rely on noun + particle constructions rather than verbs — giving the line a rhythmic, almost mathematical simplicity.

💬 Why It Matters:
This lyric is short, clever, and packed with creativity — turning arithmetic into poetry.
“World minus you” is a metaphor that’s cute yet profound: love makes everything else fade into the background.
It’s playful language like this that keeps Hearts2Hearts’ writing style so fresh and relatable.
