What Does LOVE is by ITZY Mean to Me: A Personal Reflection

Meaning of LOVE is

As I listen to THE BOYZ’s "DOOR," I am enveloped in a world that is both familiar and challenging. The lyrics of "" (LOVE is, pronounced "Love is bi-eu") are a captivating exploration of the complexities that come with loving someone entirely. The K-pop rookie group ITZY, has once again delivered a melodic masterpiece that resonated so deeply with me. Within the song’s harmonous melody, I found common ground with the emotions captured in the lyrics. How did I find myself wrapped up in the song to unravel the meaning of LOVE as ITZY sings it aloud?

Filtering Hearts

The lyrics of tell us that love is filtered, making it difficult, if not impossible, for us to decipher our ever-changing emotions. (Love is bi-eul ganieyo, our hearts spinning like a roulette wheel.") The world around, once crystal clear, began to blur and fade.

I remember my first crushing experience. My heart raged like a storm beneath the surface. I went through a mix of whirlwind emotions: excitement (jeha,), anxiety (saenggage), vulnerability (neukta), and uncertainty ). Like the lines in the song, no matter how hard I gazed into the mirror reflectively, (wae? Mian), I still couldn’t make out the figure staring back.

Yearning for Connection

THE BOYZ, in turn, presents us with verses that speak directly to feelings of (neureo), or hesitational love. When we muster the courage to open this door, even if risks (haengji) of hurt are implicit, we *(moatdwen), which means we long for what we cannot fully grasp.*

When I confided in friends about first love, (pae), they related their own struggles. What I found in common echoed the lyrics – The more I see you become, the more I come to miss the old and familiar you, the people I know well. Love is like the sun outside, it doesn’t distinguish between good or bad conditions. My friends did not have all the feelings I did; they even wished they could forget. Even so, our shared human experience resonated.

Ultimately, the meaning of THE BOYZ’s track is a heartfelt reflection regarding the trials we face following matters of the heart. Even though the uncertainty of heartbreak can seem overwhelming like a (bampi), the idea of being bold and keeping our hearts pure is exactly which we need – a glimmer of hope in its own right.
