F.T. Island's first album was scheduled to be released commercially in May 2007.[2] However, instead of releasing the album as planned, all of the members appeared on a television program called “Dugeun Dugeun Yeochinmandeulgi” (Korean : 두근두근 여친만들기) on the Korean television channel MNet. The program title is officially translated by MNet as "Wanna Be My Girlfriend?" although "두근두근" refers to the sound a heart makes.[3] The band also performed on stage live at Rolling Hall and held their first official showcase at Live House Melon-AX, Gwangjang-dong in Seoul on May 27, 2007.[4] On June 7, 2007 F.T. Island performed their debut song on the music television program M!Countdown.[5]Not only this but also they amazed people by winning their first best song award on M!Countdown by beating top artists such as Dynamic Duo and Fly To The Sky in just 2 weeks after debuting.

FT아일랜드 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
그렇게 널 보내주길
매일 연습해봐도
어색하기만 하고
웃음을 보이며 몰래 우는 법도
매일 연습해 봤지만
떨리는 목소리에
사랑하는 것 보단 이별하는 게
아마 수천 배 수만 배는 힘든데
너 없이 못 사는 바보인데 어쩌라고
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너를 사랑했나봐
숨도 못 쉬고 너만 찾는데
도대체 언제쯤 그만 둘 수 있는지
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너만 사랑했나봐
널 보내기가 내겐 죽기보다 더
힘든 지독한 일인 것 같아
아무리 아파도 아무렇지 않게
그렇게 하루를 보내길
그저 익숙해지길
매일 연습해 봤지만
어차피 너를 잊진 못할 것 같아
고칠 수 없는 병에 아프다 해도
너 없이 못 사는 바보인데 어쩌라고
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너를 사랑했나봐
숨도 못 쉬고 너만 찾는데
도대체 언제쯤 그만 둘 수 있는지
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너만 사랑했나봐
널 보내기가 내겐 죽기보다 더
힘든 지독한 일인 것 같아
차라리 이럴 거면 사랑조차 말 걸
언제쯤엔 잊을까
미련하게 너무 미련하게
너만 사랑했나봐
다른 사랑은 꿈도 못 꾸게 하는 (하는)
너만
너밖에 모르는 바보인데 어쩌라고
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너와 이별하나봐
잘 가란 말이 뭐가 어려워
입술조차 떼지 못하고 머뭇거려
지독하게 너무 지독하게
너를 이별하나봐
흉터보다 더 깊이 가슴에 남아
너를 지울 수 없을 것 같아
The lyrics of FT아일랜드's song "Severely" express the intense pain and difficulty of a deep and passionate love that has come to an end. The singer portrays a sense of numbness and nonchalance, trying to hide their sorrow and tears behind a forced smile. They have practiced pretending not to care and appearing unaffected, but their trembling voice reveals their true feelings, making it seem as though they will be easily exposed. The pain of saying goodbye is portrayed as much harder than the act of falling in love, emphasizing the immense struggle of letting go.
The chorus highlights the desperation and obsession that accompanies this love. The singer expresses that they loved the person so intensely and relentlessly that they cannot breathe or do anything else but search for them. They question when they will be able to stop this all-consuming love, implying that it feels like an impossible task. The lyrics convey the idea that parting with this person feels more difficult and torturous than death itself.
The second verse continues to emphasize the difficulty of moving on. Despite the pain, the singer desperately clings on to the memory of this person, believing that they will never be able to forget them. The metaphor of an incurable illness is used to emphasize the powerlessness and helplessness the singer feels.
In the bridge, the singer expresses a willingness to even speak to this person if it means experiencing this kind of love again. The lyrics convey a sense of lingering attachment and the inability to move on. The singer admits to being a fool who knows nothing else but this person, suggesting that the pain and struggle of letting go are inevitable.

아무 표정 없이 아무렇지 않게
With a blank expression, acting like nothing's wrong
그렇게 널 보내주길
I hope you go like that
매일 연습해봐도
Even though I practice every day
어색하기만 하고
It just feels awkward
웃음을 보이며 몰래 우는 법도
Even though I practice smiling and secretly crying
매일 연습해 봤지만
Even though I practiced every day
떨리는 목소리에
In my trembling voice
금새 들킬 것만 같아
I feel like you'll notice right away

Looks like I'm breaking up with you

Can't even part my lips, hesitating
지독하게 너무 지독하게
Terribly, so terribly
너를 이별하나봐
Looks like I'm parting with you
흉터보다 더 깊이 가슴에 남아
Deeper than scars, it remains in my heart
너를 지울 수 없을 것 같아
I don't think I can erase you

I'm trying to remember and feel the kpop like the old times where every fandom has less toxic fans and we are not looking for "who has the most viewed mv on youtube" to determine who has the great music, 1st and 2nd gen kpop will always be the true legends no matter what happen 🥺💖
Maeli G.
less toxic? are you sure about that? lmao
Come Shine

Can‘t believe how Hongki is already 30 y.o.
He was only 21 here.
They debuted so young, people forget that sometimes. They are such veterans. Still young and oh so very talented.
