Overall Meaning

The song "Honey" by the South Korean girl group KARA is about the intense love and desire that one feels towards their significant other. The repetitive use of "nan" which means "I" in Korean, emphasizes the sense of loneliness and emptiness felt without their partner. The lyrics express the longing to see this person, and the sadness felt when they aren't present. The line "Moreuncheok hago nan sipeodo Nune boineun ganjeolham" (Even if I close my eyes, I still see the moment I don't know what to do) perfectly captures the singer's fixation on their love interest. Additionally, the chorus, "Namanui honey honey honey/ Doraseoya hani hani hani," which means "my honey honey honey/ come back to me hani hani hani" highlights the possessive nature of the relationship and the yearning to keep their love interest entirely to themselves.


The song "Honey" was the lead single of KARA's fourth mini-album, "Jumping," released in November 2010.
[1] The song was produced by Han Jae-ho and Kim Seung-soo, known as Sweetune, a popular South Korean music production team.

I don't know if these "old" idols know that their music played a huge part in someone's teenage years. Watching this now brings back so many memories.
