1tym has been widely popular in Korea and Asia since the release of their first single and album, "One Time For Your Mind". The group's fresh hip-hop beats and R&B versatility (noteably their ease in transitioning from rap to soulful R&B) has won them success and to date they have released five albums: "One Time For Your Mind" (1998), "2nd Round" (2000), "Third Time Fo' Yo' Mind" (2001), "Once N 4 All" (2003), and "ONEWAY" (2005). 1TYM has also collaborated with the likes of fellow YG Family members, Jinusean and Lexy, and Big Mama, among others.
Following the release and promotion period of their latest album, "ONEWAY", 1TYM will be on hiatus for a few years due to Oh Jinhwan's mandatory military service. Teddy is working on his first solo album and Danny is planning the release of his second. Baekkyoung has now joined the group Moogadang.
Do You Know Me?
1TYM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With great vengeance and furious anger
Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
굳이 안 그러셔도 잘 알아서 살어
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
(내가 누구?) TEDDY, I'm 1TYM Leader
마이크를 쥐어 주면 이성을 잘 잃어
난 Big Boy 째째한 건 다 싫어
Hip Hop에 있어선 넌 날 믿어 (Believe That)
무대 위에 없으면 아마 스튜디오 안에
TV에 나와 쓸데없는 짓 절대 안 해
Fo Sheezy 쉬지 않고 떠드시긴
넌 이미 맛이 갔어 Be easy
앞에선 진심인 듯 해맑게 잘 웃어
But 돌아서는 순간 잘도 비웃어
믿을 사람은 없어져가 하나 둘
너도 예외는 아냐 똑같은 사람들
생각보다 언제나 말이 앞선
인간들은 어딜 가도 입이 말썽
나도 날 모르는데 니가 어찌 알어
좋은 말로 할 때 잘 들어 싫음 말어
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
굳이 안 그러셔도 잘 알아서 살어
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
(남 얘기)라며 신나 눈에 불을 켜
눈덩이처럼 굴려 죄다 부풀려
벌떼처럼 모여 남의 목을 조여
그래야지만 니 불안한 맘이 놓여
이 쪽을 보면 온통 가식뿐
저 쪽엔 거짓말쟁이의 이야기꾼
매일 아침 눈을 떠도 똑같지
They think they know, but they have no idea
난 순수하지 순진하지만은 않아
순순히 속는 순둥이도 절대 아냐
뒤통수를 향한 수많은 손가락
하나씩 상대하긴 내 시간이 모자라
알아도 아는 척 안 하는 요즘 이 세상에
몰라도 아는 척 해대는 너도 참 대단해
어차피 떠들 거 알고나 떠들어
결국엔 남이야 나는 나 너는 너
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
굳이 안 그러셔도 잘 알아서 살어
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
내 머린 빈틈이 없어
이젠 내겐 널 향한 믿음이 없어
(내버려둬 여태까지도 잘 살아왔으니
U do U and I'll do me)
내 삶은 쉴 틈이 없어
널 상대 해줄 만한 시간이 없어
(내버려둬 오늘까지도 잘 버텨왔으니
U do U and I'll do me)
한 번 더 생각해
What you talk about me
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
굳이 안 그러셔도 잘 알아서 살어
니가 날 알어?
NO 모르면 똑바로 제대로 알어 whoa!
누가 날 알어?
니가 날 알어?
The opening lines "And I will strike down upon thee, with great vengeance and furious anger, those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers" set a tone of power and retribution. The singer is asserting their authority and willingness to protect their loved ones from harm. This sense of fierce loyalty and protection is a recurring theme throughout the song.
The lyrics then transition into questioning whether the listener truly knows the singer. The repetition of "니가 날 알어?" (Do you know me?) emphasizes the importance of understanding and truly knowing someone for who they are. There is a sense of self-assuredness and confidence in the singer's identity, as they assert that they will continue to thrive and live authentically regardless of others' perceptions.
As the verses progress, we learn more about the singer's inner thoughts and struggles. There is a juxtaposition between the public persona that people see and the complexities within. The singer reflects on the challenges of being judged and misconstrued by others, highlighting the power dynamics and deceit that exist in society. The lyrics delve into themes of authenticity, trust, and the constant battle against falsehoods and misunderstandings.
Towards the end, the lyrics shift towards a sense of self-empowerment and resilience. The singer declares their unwavering determination to remain true to themselves and not be swayed by others' opinions. The repeated refrain of "니가 날 알어?" serves as a reminder to both the listener and the singer to stay grounded in their own truth and not be shaken by external influences.

(내가 누구?) TEDDY, I'm 1TYM Leader
I am Teddy, the leader of 1TYM
마이크를 쥐어 주면 이성을 잘 잃어
I lose control when I grab the microphone
난 Big Boy 째째한 건 다 싫어
I dislike childish behavior
Hip Hop에 있어선 넌 날 믿어 (Believe That)
Trust me in the world of Hip Hop
무대 위에 없으면 아마 스튜디오 안에
If I'm not on stage, I'm probably in the studio
TV에 나와 쓸데없는 짓 절대 안 해
I never do pointless things on TV
Fo Sheezy 쉬지 않고 떠드시긴
I keep talking without resting
넌 이미 맛이 갔어 Be easy
You're already fed up, relax
앞에선 진심인 듯 해맑게 잘 웃어
I seem sincere and smile genuinely
But 돌아서는 순간 잘도 비웃어
But I laugh when turned away
믿을 사람은 없어져가 하나 둘
People to trust are disappearing one by one
너도 예외는 아냐 똑같은 사람들
You're not an exception, just like everyone else
생각보다 언제나 말이 앞선
Words are always ahead of thoughts
인간들은 어딜 가도 입이 말썽
No matter where humans go, they cause trouble
나도 날 모르는데 니가 어찌 알어
I don't even know myself, how do you know me?
좋은 말로 할 때 잘 들어 싫음 말어
Listen well when spoken nicely, don't talk back when upset
(남 얘기)라며 신나 눈에 불을 켜
As they talk about others, they get excited and light up
눈덩이처럼 굴려 죄다 부풀려
Rolling gossip like a snowball, inflating everything
벌떼처럼 모여 남의 목을 조여
Gathering like a swarm of bees, seizing others' throats
그래야지만 니 불안한 맘이 놓여
That's when your anxious heart will be relieved
이 쪽을 보면 온통 가식뿐
When looking at this side, it's all pretense
저 쪽엔 거짓말쟁이의 이야기꾼
On the other side, it's storytellers of lies
매일 아침 눈을 떠도 똑같지
Every morning, waking up to the same thing
They think they know, but they have no idea
People think they know, but they're clueless
난 순수하지 순진하지만은 않아
I am pure but not naive
순순히 속는 순둥이도 절대 아냐
I am not a fool who easily gets deceived
뒤통수를 향한 수많은 손가락
Many fingers pointing towards my back
하나씩 상대하긴 내 시간이 모자라
Dealing with them one by one, I lack time
알아도 아는 척 안 하는 요즘 이 세상에
In this world today, people pretend not to know even when they do
몰라도 아는 척 해대는 너도 참 대단해
You pretending to know even when you don't is quite remarkable
어차피 떠들 거 알고나 떠들어
If you're going to talk anyway, just keep talking
결국엔 남이야 나는 나 너는 너
In the end, you're you, and I'm me
내 머린 빈틈이 없어
My mind has no gaps
이젠 내겐 널 향한 믿음이 없어
I have lost faith in you now
한 번 더 생각해
Think again
What you talk about me
Be careful of what you say about me

YG old school... this is Hip-Hop man!!!
@9xprincess
Guys don't worry 1TYM and Jinsuean were very popular and successful in the Korean hip hop scene (which was counter-culture in Korea up until like 2-3yrs ago), they are just underrated to Hallyu Wave fans who got into the Korean music scene after 1TYM's time.
@melodramatic7904
I feel like they were also pretty mainstream as well. I lived in korea when this album came out and they were all over the music shows. I also went to YG's 10th anniversary concert and they got the most screams. They were definitely the kings of YG. Then they passed the mantle to Big Bang. 😊

@@melodramatic7904 don't know why but your comment made me smile
@arthurdoukas
1TYM & JINUSEAN were YG'S 1st legends :)
Then YG added more legends like: PSY, EPIK HIGH, LEE HI, SECHSKIES, BIGBANG & 2NE1
Now we have the new YG legends: AKMU, WINNER, iKON, BLACKPINK & TRSR
