Lyrics & Translation
Learning Korean through Sunmi's 'Heart Burn' offers a unique opportunity to explore more formal and poetic lyrical expressions not always found in K-pop. The song's narrative quality and its connection to the visually rich music video provide a compelling context for understanding the nuances of the language, making the learning process both engaging and memorable. The song is special for its blend of a light, summery sound with a surprisingly dark and mysterious narrative.
