[I LUV K-POP] LE SSERAFIM debut song FEARLESS lyrics-Humble Acting

 

'FEMALE BTS' LESSERAFIM

In the lyrics of 'FEMALE BTS' LESSERAFIM's debut song FEARLESS, we can find the text 'Humble Acting'.

LESSERAFIM sings.
"It's strange to say to hide my greed. I'm not going to do anything more like humble acting."

In the East, 'humility' is regarded as an important virtue.
Perhaps the influence of Chinese Confucian culture is strong.
Even in Korea, children grow up hearing "be humble" from their teachers and parents.
Under the influence of this culture, people who are not humble are criticized.
Especially with influencers.
The media and fans have not forgiven stars for not being modest.

I remember an old video I saw on YouTube.
It was a scene where the MC asked the singer a question in a TV show program.
Seeing that it was a black-and-white video, it seemed to be from the 1960s or 1970s.
The MC's question was, "What kind of food do you like?"
Isn't it too old-fashioned?

These questions were very common even in TV programs at that time.
The singer who was asked was a woman and was the most popular person at the time.
She has many hit songs and is still active.

When asked, the singer thought for a moment and answered carefully.
"It's kimchi."

I was disappointed to hear the answer. And it was unfortunate.
Maybe she really liked kimchi the most.
However, the atmosphere at that time could not have been described as "favorite food" for lobster, omakase, and high-end French cuisine.
(Lobsters are very expensive in Korea)

If she had given that answer, the singer would have been branded as a luxury and overspending person.
At that time, Korea was a developing country and was not as economically developed as it is now.
The whole country valued 'saving'.

So after much consideration, the singer would have answered "Kimchi."
This is because Kimchi is a representative Korean food that even poor people eat and is the same as the pride of Koreans.

Of course, everything is different now.
Still, 'humility' is an important value in Korea, but it is not forced as it was in the past.
Some influencers enjoy showing off their money and luxuries. A representative figure would be a rapper ax.

LESSERAFIM's refusal to act modestly in the lyrics of "FEARLESS" also shows the trend these days.
LESSERAFIM sings that humility is important, but we don't like acting to look humble. LESSERAFIM eliminated fear to reject modest performances.

LESSERAFIM doesn't hide their greed.
Everyone has a goal. And there is a desire to achieve the goal.
LESSERAFIM declares, "We will move toward our goal like sports cars running on highways."

"FEARLESS" was the debut song of LESSERAFIM, which was a very suitable choice.
We look forward to LESSERAFIM's 'Fearless Advance'.
