Our all time favorite female K-singer, TAEYEON from SNSD is coming back this summer with her upbeat disco single “Weekend”!
I believe the best days of the week are the weekdays! Weekdays in summer means you can get out from the office and enjoy the sunshine of the season. Personally, I really like TAEYEON concept in this music video, reminding me again the season of happiness is finally here!
TAEYEON’s βWeekendβ is a disco-pop track where the idol βraps and sings about hope to break away from everyday boredom and enjoy freedom during the weekendβ.

λ°λ€ (ba-da) – sea
κ°μ₯ κ°κΉμ΄ λ°λ€ The sea which is closest to me
νΌμλ§μ μνκ΄ The cinema that has only me
Weekend (TAEYEON)
λ°λ€ (ba-da), the sea is the best place to get full sunshine during the summer. With your bikinis on, go to your closest beach to see the best view of limitless sea and receive the radiating positivity from the sun!
Eg. μ°λ¦¬ λ°λ€μ κ°μ΄ κ°μ!
woo-ri ba-da-e kat-chi ka-ja!
Let us go to the sea together! (informal)
μ¬μ λ‘λ€ (yeo-yu-rob-da) – to be relaxed
μ 리컡 νκ°λ A full glass of
λ΄λ¦° μ»€νΌ ν μ Brewed coffee
μμ΄μ€λ‘ ν λ μμ£Ό μ¬μ λ‘κ² Make it cold, so relaxing
Can we agree that iced coffee is always the best medicine to chill you down? You can imagine that glass full of ice, with freshly brewed Americano slowly dripping down the ice blocks. Even seeing it is already
μ¬μ λ‘κ² (adj.) comes from the stem word μ¬μ λ‘λ€, meaning relaxing without stress.
Eg. μ£Όλ§μ μ§μμ μ¬μ λ‘κ² λ³΄λΌ κ±°μμ.
ju-mal-e jib-e-seo yeo-yu-rob-ge bo-nael geo-ye-yo.
I am going to spend my weekend relaxingly at home.
νμ΄ (haet-sal) – sunlight
μμμ§λ νμ΄ λ΄ λ§μ λλλ € The pouring sunlight that knocks my heart
λ΄κ² μμ§νλ μ±κ·Έλ¬μ΄ λ°λ νκ³ μ Riding with the fresh breeze waving at me
Sunlight brings in energy and positivity to us when we are feeling down and gloomy! That’s also why some people really love summer as finally the cold and gloomy sky are back with full of brightness from the sunlight! Some sun bathing will do us a great favor to be cheered up.
Eg. λ°©μ΄ νμ΄λ‘ κ°λ μ°¨μ κΈ°λΆμ΄ λ무 μ’μμ.
bang-i haet-sal-lo ka-deuk cha-seo gi-bun-i neo-mu cho-a-yo
I feel so good as the room was flooded with sunlight.
λ¬λΉ (dal-bit) – moonlight
ν¨κ» κ±·λ νμκ³Ό λ°μ λ§μΆκ³ Together with me walking along the pace of the sun
λ€μ΄μ λ¬λΉμ λ°λΌ λμμ€κ³ μΆμ κ±Έ Wanting to return again by following the next moonlight
Moonlight in the summer tends to be brighter because of the great weather in the season. Especially by looking at the full moon of the month, a quiet night with bright moonlight is the best atmosphere to relax ourselves in the weekend!
Eg. νΈμλ λ°μ¬λ λ¬λΉμΌλ‘ λ°κ² λΉλμ
ho-su-neun ban-sa-dwuin dal-bit-cheu-ro bal-ge bit-na-yo
The lake shines brightly with the reflecting moonlight.
μ€λ λ ν κΉ (o-neul-bwo-hal-gga) – what to do today?
I believe most of us will ask yourself this question every weekend, ‘what am I going to do today?’. Weekends are the days we can plan out activities that we like to do without going to the office!
The phrase ” μ€λ λ ν κΉ? ” means what (am I/are you) going to do today in an informal way. Depends on the context, if you are talking to yourself and express this phrase to yourself, it means “What am I going to do today?”. You can use this phrase to ask someone which will means “What are you going to do today”, or in full “λ μ€λ λ ν κΉ?”
Eg. (informal situation)
μ리: ν, μ€λ λν κΉ? κ°μ΄ λ§μ§ κ°κΉ ?
hyung, o-neul bwo-hal-gga? woo-ri kat-chi mat-jib kal-kka?
Ali: Hyung (a friend who is senior than you), what are going to do today? Let’s go to a nice restaurant together, shall we?
μλΆ: λ³μΌ μμ΄. λ§μ§ μ½!
byeol-il oebso. mat-jib kol!
Abu: Nothing much today. Nice restaurant kol (meaning let’s do it)!
