Haechan just dropped his first solo album, and the title track “CRZY” proves why fans have been waiting for this moment. With a sharp beat and intense lyrics, he captures the dizzying feeling of being so consumed by love that it throws you off balance.
Here’s the lyric we’re focusing on:
“난 잃어버려 어느새
내 앞에 서 있는 너”
“I lose myself before I know it,
And there you are, standing in front of me.”

4️⃣ 내 앞에 서 있는 너 – You, standing in front of me
• 내 앞에 = in front of me

💡 Language Tip:
The auxiliary -어버리다 (잃어버려) adds an emotional layer — it’s not just “lose,” but “lose completely / helplessly.” Combined with 어느새, it paints a picture of falling apart or giving in without realizing until it’s too late.

💬 Why It Matters:
In “CRZY”, love isn’t gentle — it’s overwhelming. This line captures the chaotic beauty of losing yourself in the moment, only to realize the person you can’t escape is right there in front of you. It’s vulnerable, messy, and undeniably powerful — just like Haechan’s solo debut.
