In Stray Kids’ “RUN IT,” this line hits hard:

흘렸던 피눈물 I saved it

흘리다 means to shed, spill, or let something flow.

You can use it with:

tears,

sweat,

blood.

And 피눈물 literally combines:

피 = blood

눈물 = tears

So 피눈물 means “blood tears” — not usually literal, but a strong image for deep suffering, sacrifice, or pain.

흘렸던 피눈물

= the blood-tears I had shed

Then comes the English:

I saved it

That changes everything.

The lyric does not say:

“I forgot the pain.”

“I erased the pain.”

“I pretended it never happened.”

It says:

“I saved it.”

As if every painful thing became evidence.

And right before that:

이 순간이 proof we made it

“This moment is proof we made it.”

So the feeling is:

I didn’t waste the pain.

I kept it.

And now it proves how far we came.

Which line hits harder?

🩸 I saved the pain

or

🏆 This moment is proof
