It’s Sunday again — our weekly trip through K-pop history —

and today we travel back to 2018, to one of WJSN’s most heartfelt and comforting songs:

“Save You, Save Me” (부탁해).

This era was peak cosmic-fairy WJSN: warm synths, dreamy vocals, and lyrics full of gentle reassurance.

And these lines in particular captured the emotional heart of the song —

the message that you don’t have to face anything alone:

“부탁해 너의 얘길 들려줄래 알고 싶어 그래

숨기려 하지 마 너의 편이 돼 줄게”

“Please — will you tell me your story? I really want to know.

Don’t try to hide it. I’ll be on your side.”

Let’s break down the meaning behind these comforting lines.
