We’ve already covered NCT WISH, ZEROBASEONE, and Treasure — now let’s wrap up Monday’s massive comeback wave with Monsta X and their powerful new track “N the Front.” This isn’t a love song — it’s a rallying cry. A bold anthem about charging ahead, breaking obstacles, and owning your position without hesitation.
Here’s the line we’re looking at:
“앞만 보고 가 That’s my position
가뿐히 다 넘어 Opposition”
“Keep your eyes forward, that’s my position.
Easily overcome all opposition.”

📝 Key Grammar & Vocabulary
1️⃣ 앞만 보고 가 – Only look forward and go
• 앞 = front, forward
• -만 = only
• 보다 = to look → 보고 (connective form “while looking”)
• 가다 = to go
→ “Go while looking only forward.”
2️⃣ That’s my position
• English insert, reinforcing their stance. In K-pop, mixing English often adds intensity or universality.
3️⃣ 가뿐히 – Lightly, easily
• Adverb from 가뿐하다 = to feel light, unburdened
→ Describes overcoming something without difficulty.
4️⃣ 다 넘어 Opposition – Overcome all opposition
• 다 = all
• 넘다 = to cross, to pass, to overcome
• “Opposition” = English word dropped into the lyric for impact
→ “Easily pass over all opposition.”

💡 Language Tip:
Notice 보고 가 in 앞만 보고 가 — this is a verb stem + -고 construction that links two actions: “look (보고) and go (가).” In English we’d phrase it as “go while looking.” It’s a very common way in Korean to express simultaneous action.

💬 Why It Matters:
“N the Front” is classic Monsta X: bold, unapologetic, and motivating. It’s about refusing to look back, holding your ground, and moving forward with unstoppable confidence. The message is simple but sharp — no hesitation, no fear, just progress.
