Learn Korean From BTS Jimin's "Promise"

BTS's Jimin has many solo songs that we can learn Korean from! Today we're going to use the words from Jimin's solo "Promise" in sentences that we can use in our daily lives!



"Promise" is a sad song where BTS’s Jimin has shared the emotional story behind his first self-composed.


Jimin also spoke more specifically about what had inspired him to write the song.


”If I’m having a hard time, I want to be able to say honestly that I’m having a hard time. But because I can’t do that, I get frustrated watching myself. I think that’s why I ended up writing the song.”



● The song lyrics :


Sitting alone, my mind keeps going for away

🎵 혼자 주저앉아 생각만 커져가 🎵



Since when did I gave pain to you, you're going further away

🎵언제부터 넌 날 아프게했던가 너조자도 모르잖아🎵



He talked about the song’s lyrics, explaining :


“If you listen to the song, I use the word (You) a lot .. (You) actually means (Me).

Because this was originally a song that I wanted to write to myself ”

-BTS JIMIN
