It’s a packed comeback day — PLAVE, CRAVITY, ITZY, and more — but today, all eyes are on ITZY.

Their new single “Tunnel Vision” is everything you’d expect from them: fierce, confident, and bursting with energy.

It’s the kind of song that reminds you why ITZY defined a whole generation of self-assured, unapologetic K-pop anthems.

Let’s dive into two lines that perfectly capture that power and focus:

“지켜 나를 더, 모두 집중 on alert

빛을 쫓아, 빛이 날 비춰”

“Protect me more, everyone’s on alert —

I chase the light, and the light shines on me.”

—

🔥 1️⃣ 지켜 나를 더 – “Protect me more” / “Keep guarding me”

• 지키다 → to protect / to guard

• 나를 → me (object form of 나)

• 더 → more

💡 Grammar note:

지켜 나를 더 can be read as a continuation of energy — not begging for protection, but commanding strength.

In context, it expresses self-protection: staying strong, keeping your confidence unshaken.

🎯 2️⃣ 모두 집중 – “Everyone, focus”

• 모두 → everyone / all

• 집중 → concentration / focus (noun form of 집중하다)

💡 Language tip:

K-pop often drops verbs for punchier rhythm.

Here, instead of 집중해! (focus!), they just say 모두 집중 — sharp, rhythmic, and commanding.

It’s like saying “All eyes on me.”

💡 3️⃣ on alert – borrowed English phrase

In the lyrics, the phrase heightens tension — a sense of being sharp, aware, ready.

Mixing Korean with English gives that international ITZY flavor — confident and modern.

✨ 4️⃣ 빛을 쫓아, 빛이 날 비춰 – “I chase the light, and the light shines on me”

• 빛 → light

• -을 → object particle

• 쫓다 → to chase / to follow

• 날 → me (short for 나를)

• 비추다 → to shine on / to illuminate

💡 Grammar note:

The repetition of 빛 (light) symbolizes both ambition and identity —

first she’s chasing the light (the goal), then the light reflects back on her (recognition).

It’s the perfect ITZY message: go after your dreams until you become the one who shines.

⚡️ Why It Matters

“Tunnel Vision” is pure ITZY — a focused beam of self-belief and boldness.

The line “빛을 쫓아, 빛이 날 비춰” mirrors their career: always chasing excellence until they themselves are the light.

Strong beats, assertive lyrics, and a rush of attitude — this is ITZY reminding us that confidence isn’t arrogance; it’s owning your space in the spotlight.
