Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Girls' Generation's song "Boyfriend" are quite straightforward. The singer is expressing her desire for a particular guy, despite many other boys wanting her. She wants this guy because she is ready and wants to be with him for a long time. Throughout the song, she talks about how this guy is different from other guys and how he is the only one she wants. Despite not being interested in other boys, she keeps getting approached, and it irritates her. She wishes that the guy would be more direct with her and take action to be her boyfriend.


The song perfectly captures young love and the struggles of trying to initiate a relationship. It also highlights how young girls tend to get approached by many guys, but not all of them interest them. She is looking for someone who would be honest about his feelings and take the time to know her better. The chorus line of "jakkuman twinggyeo" also suggests that she is tired of waiting and wants the guy to make a move.

@vanishing_girl

this song is like pop perfection

@dravenryoma08

I agree. This is one of my absolute favorite songs from SNSD.

@gabgab841

This never get old

@SMAnthonyW

i was relistening to this song recently and i literally thought this! this song is pop music (and snsd) at its finest

@rendickson4402

It's amazing how the lyric line distribution completely changed Yoona and Hyoyeon ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

@k-maniac6849

unpopular fact: you actually didn't know all snsd's song. there will be one or two that you missed. not because you are not a true fan. it's just they got too many songs. prove that they work really hard

@evestar775

I don't hate it, though. I think it's so good that even you've been with them for years, there's still left you don't know about them. It's mind-blowing.
