How did this slip by me? On Thursday, NMIXX dropped the prerelease video for their first full album, and as always, they’ve surprised us with yet another side of their artistry. “Spinning On It” trades in their usual change-ups for driving guitars and drums, delivering a raw rock edge. The lyrics cut deep—it’s about a love that’s already broken, yet the pull, the danger, the attraction is still there.

Let’s check out this explosive line:

“붙어있는 우린 like a bomb

언제 터질지 몰라”

“We’re stuck together like a bomb,

Never knowing when we might explode.”

💥 Key Phrases to Learn:

2️⃣ 우린 – we / us

• Contraction of 우리는.

• Subject of the sentence—“we” are the ones dangerously attached.

3️⃣ 언제 – when

• Common question word, here meaning “at what time”.

4️⃣ 터질지 몰라 – might explode

• 터지다 = to explode, burst.

• -ㄹ지 모르다 = “might / don’t know if (something will happen).”

💡 Language & Grammar Tip:

The construction -ㄹ지 몰라 is super useful. It’s often used to express possibility with uncertainty: “It might… / You never know if…” Combine it with strong imagery like “터지다” (explode), and you get this sharp sense of suspense and danger.
