BTS Boy With Luv Lyrics Korean Hidden Meanings

Now that we’ve translated the Boy with luv lyrics to English, let’s dive further into the actual meanings behind the Korean lyrics!

bts boy with luv lyrics translated english

At first listen, Boy with Luv sounds  like it would be a song about a boy that is in love with a girl. However, this is not the case! Boy with Luv is actually about the love that BTS has for its ARMY fan base!

Any BTS fan knows that the 7 member super group is all about its fans…maybe even more so than any other K pop band out there. They are loyal and have been loyal since the beginning. And making this song dedicated to the ARMY just goes to prove that BTS really and truly loves their fan base.

Korean Hidden Meaning #1

저 하늘을 높이 날고 있어
[Jeo Haneolrul nopi nalgo eeseo]
I’m flying high in the sky

This lyric describes that BTS as a group are flying high in the sky with the fame and success they have received from their fans…the ARMY!! They know just how high they are and likely knew that the release of Boy With Luv would catapult their fame into the stratosphere!

Korean Hidden Meaning #2

그때 니가 내게 줬던 두 날개로
[Keotae niga negae jueodun du nalgaero]
With the two wings you gave me back then

This lyric is talking about the support that the ARMY has given to BTS, who are flying with the ‘wings of love’ – the love that comes from their fans. Now the ARMY knows just how much they mean to BTS.

Korean Hidden Meaning #3

이제 여긴 너무 높아
[Eejae yeogin neomu nopa]
Now it’s too high up here

Now that BTS is not only famous, but internationally famous, they risk flying too close to the sun and getting ‘too high’, or ‘too famous’.

Korean Hidden Meaning #4

난 내 눈에 널 맞추고 싶어
[Nan naenuneh neol machugo sipeo]
I want to be eye level with you

This lyric describes how they want to be ‘eye level’ with their fans, and never forget how – or who – got them to where they are…the ARMY!!!

Korean Hidden Meaning #5

니가 준 이카루스의 날개로, uh
[Niga jun eekaruseou nalgaero, uh]
By Icarus’ wings that you gave me, uh

In continuation with the previous lyric, BTS uses the Greek myth of Icarus’ wings as a comparison to the fame of BTS, where he flew too close the sun and burned his wings and then fell from grace. BTS never wants this to happen, so the song is a true reminder.

Korean Hidden Meaning #6

태양이 아닌 너에게로
[Taeyangee ahnin neo-ee-gaero]
I fly to you not towards the sun

Here BTS is telling themselves to not be too greedy and to always be humble. Flying too close to the sun will get you burned, so remembering where they came from and how they got there will keep them as modest as they were when they started out.

REACTION VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Hi everyone this is Eddie from beeline Korean and I will be reacting to a video today that I have never watched in fact I never watched and actually never really heard their songs.

Its BTS it’s called the boy with love pay so as a creator I get this questions a lot by other non Korean people when I tell them that I’m from Korea like this what is what happens oh my god are you from Korea.

mm-hmm yeah I’m from Korea do you know BTS no not really how do you not know BTS they’re so big and because of that I know who BTS is I never really went to watched your videos never really listened to their songs and I’ve never really understood why they were so big I mean they’re just another boy band from Korea.

I mean there’s like tons of the millions of boy bands that is created like every day and why this BTS is so big they went to a Len show and they also went to the Grammys over and they want us stuff and I just check.

Something on the internet they actually broke a record for the view or LM telling I don’t know I’ll be tasting some parents a big thing and I guess you agree because you probably came to this video because you probably in love with BTS.This is gonna be the very first video I’ve ever watched that was created for BTS and and see if I’m gonna like it because I’m a more of a girl group guy I’ve never was a boy Roo boy group or boy band it a person.

So this is gonna be interesting because then everyone listen to their songs – nor any boy bands and then whoa let’s see let’s see what’s the big fuss is about[Music].

Big hit obviously there are big kids a photographer Halsey actually in the video okay one love their pink jackets for now okay guys pink is the new guys color screwed up a ginger you know norms.

About like wearing blue or pink tha pink looks so good [Music] how’s it coming  happy this is just summer so I actually see myself music. [Music]

Just not all okay not all Koreans are BTSs [Music] okay [Music] I just think it’s gonna be color to Summarize again another motor kick me do the dougie the West sir.

Nope about it’s got cars bought it hog that’ll come on your head I love a geeky wet but not socks or the nice thing going to spend now you okay okay.

So that was BTS very first time for me okay songs are catchy got a very good looking every scene components that is required for boyband in Korea.

And obviously it’s actually really nice you know I’ve been in active video actually I really love their custom for short I got their red their pink out festival stunning and I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna be look I’m not gonna look that great in those outfits but man I need to go shopping well I am very interested in BJ’s now I’m like not really into a very in-depth but then I can definitely see myself listen to this home again for sure and then possibly to another songs and see if it’s you know similar to this one.

But this was very interesting for me and it’s very good experience it you know so far I’ll give it a good shot for BTS my pair should we listen to boyband is to accept discriminating between girls and boys right.Anyway that is all for today and thank you so much for watching.
