Today is a huge day for boy group releases, and we’ll start with NCT WISH and their brand new song “Color.” The MV bursts with vivid tones, the melody glows like a rainbow, and the lyrics are drenched in warmth — painting love itself as a spectrum of emotions. 💕
Here’s one line to highlight:
“안아줘 뜨겁게
시간은 너무 빨라”
“Hug me tightly, passionately,
time passes far too quickly.”

💡 Language Tip:
Notice the -아/어 주다 structure in 안아줘. This form adds warmth and softness to requests, turning a command into something closer to “do this for me.” It’s one of the most common ways lyrics sound both intimate and pleading.
