Learn Korean with BTS
A Starbank Daeppang Exclusive for Global K-Pop Fans!
BTS’s song “ON” is powerful and full of deep emotions. One striking line is:
👉 “나의 고통이 있는 곳에 내가 숨 쉬게 하소서”
(“Let me breathe where my pain exists.”)
This phrase expresses the idea of embracing struggles and finding strength within them. The structure of this sentence includes:
💡 Grammar Focus:
This line reflects resilience and determination, making it meaningful for K-pop fans and aspiring idols alike.
If you’re preparing for a K-pop audition, understanding pronunciation is key. Let’s break down some tricky parts:
✅ “고통” (gotong) → Make sure to pronounce the ‘g’ softly, not as a strong ‘k’ sound.
✅ “있는 곳에” (itneun gose) → The ‘ㅅ’ in ‘곳’ blends into ‘에’, so it sounds like “인는 고세” (itneun gose).
✅ “숨 쉬게 하소서” (sum swige hasoseo) → The ‘ㅅ’ in ‘숨 쉬게’ should be pronounced clearly and smoothly to sound natural.
If you sing this at an audition, make sure your pronunciation is clear while keeping the emotions strong and expressive!
