Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gummy's song "As a Man" express the struggles of a person who is deeply in love with someone who sees them only as a friend. The song talks about the pain of unrequited love and the desire to transcend the friend-zone.


The first paragraph talks about the fear of starting something new again after experiencing heartbreak. However, the singer believes that this time will be different and that she can trust in love once more. The second paragraph expresses the frustration of seeing the person you love develop feelings for someone else, even though you know deep down that you're the better match. The third paragraph speaks to the situation of being in a friend-zone, where the singer feels she is not seen as a romantic prospect by the object of her affection.


The chorus reiterates the theme of unrequited love, where the singer acknowledges that the person she loves sees her only as a friend and does not reciprocate her feelings. However, she still longs for his attention and wishes for a chance to be with him.


Overall, "As a Man" is a touching and relatable depiction of an all too common love story, where people often wish for something that they know cannot be. The lyrics express the complex emotions that come with unrequited love, and the longing to be seen as more than just a friend.

HyunJoong has always been such a nice person for his family ,friends and fans..On 27th of February 2022 he held a free concert to all his fans arround the world and announced his marraige ..He didnt devide his fans as rich or poor ,he wanted everyone who loves him to be a witness at his life's most crucial decision and that is the place his fans have in his heart...I am a kpoper because of him and I will even support his kids as a granny someday..This man is a true artist..A man who deserves so much love ,respect and attention :)
