The phrase “질투 나도 욕은 하지 말아 줘” is an expressive line in the song Same Age by SEVENTEEN’s Hoshi & Woozi. Let’s break it down step by step:
- “질투 나도” → “Even if you’re jealous”
- 질투 (jiltu) = Jealousy
- 나다 (nada) = To arise, occur (질투 나다 = To feel jealous)
- “욕은 하지 말아 줘” → “Please don’t curse me.”
- 욕 (yok) = Curse, insult, bad words
- 하다 (hada) = To do
- 하지 말아 줘 (haji mara jwo) = “Please don’t do it” (polite request)
💡 Summary: This phrase conveys “Even if you feel jealous, please don’t insult me”, showing a mature response to negativity.
🎤 Pronunciation Tips for K-Pop Auditions
If you’re an aspiring K-Pop idol planning to sing this song at an audition, mastering pronunciation is key! Here’s what you need to focus on:
✅ “질투 나도” (jiltu nado)
- The “ㄹ” (L/R sound) in 질투 should be lightly pronounced without rolling the tongue too much.
- 나도 (nado) should be smooth and natural, with a connected flow between “나” and “도”.
✅ “욕은 하지 말아 줘” (yok-eun haji mara jwo)
- The “욕은” should sound soft and not overly emphasized.
- The “하지 말아 줘” should have a smooth transition, with “줘” being slightly elongated for emotional delivery.
🎶 Practice Tip: Listen to the original track on repeat and record yourself mimicking the exact rhythm and intonation!
