iKON breaks the curse in YG Entertainment that famous as a company who will take a very long time to do a comeback for its artists. They have released three albums in 2018!

Their latest mini album “New Kids: The Final” has four tracks and the second track is “Don’t Let Me Know”. This song is written by B.I and Seung, composed by B.I and Millennium, and arranged by Millennium.

Although this song does not have an MV, based on the iKON’s interview with Billboard, Bobby and B.I mentioned this is their favorite song beside “Goodbye Road” (Same here, buddy. We’re on the same page!).

Don’t be misguided by the music of this song which has an EDM and disco vibe! Because this song is actually a sad song. It is about a guy (I’ll refer it as a guy because iKON is a boy group) that broke up, and his partner has found someone new yet he still can’t move on. He’s somewhat happy to know that his former partner is happy, but he is also unhappy at the same time because somehow he still loves her.

This is my favorite part:

Johayo geudaega usseoseo
It’s good because you’re laughing
Apayo nan geureoji mothaeseo
It hurts because I can’t
Hamkke haesseotdeon geu sijeoreseo
The times we were together
Beoseonajil mothaeyo
I can’t escape from it

Well, I can say it is a cheerful-brokenhearted song that can make you jump around while listening to it and trouble your heart at the same time (if you are a person who engages with a lyric), especially if you are/were in that kind of situation.

Here is the lyrics and their translation (written in different color)! Hope you enjoy it as much as me!
