On Monday we already looked at NCT WISH and ZEROBASEONE — today it’s time for Treasure, who also made a comeback this week with the colorful and romantic “Paradise.” This track is pure brightness: a love song about finding happiness together under a shared sky.

Let’s break down this dreamy lyric:

“오늘 밤 다른 하늘 아래

너와 나 입을 맞출 때”

“Tonight, under a different sky,

when you and I share a kiss.”

3️⃣ 너와 나 – You and I

4️⃣ 입을 맞출 때 – When we kiss

💡 Language Tip:

In Korean, 입을 맞추다 literally means “to match lips” → “to kiss.” It’s a poetic and slightly formal expression, used often in lyrics and literature rather than casual everyday talk (where you’d just say 키스하다).

💬 Why It Matters:

Paradise captures the sweetness of fleeting youth — a different sky, a special night, a kiss that makes the world feel like paradise. Treasure proves again that they can make bright, romantic pop hit just as hard as their hype tracks.
