majimak huimangdo modu beoryeotda.
neomaneul wihaeseo saraon naege
neo eomneun naeireun uimiga eobseo.
gieogi nal bureuneun geu georie
hollo seoseo barame bonaenda.
neoui ireumeul dasi motbureul geu ireum...
neoui geu nunmuldo dakka jul su eomneun

The lyrics of "Love Letter" by John-Hoon (Kim Jung Hoon) are emotional and melancholic. The song tells a story of heartbreak and reminiscence. The first verse talks about how the memories of the past love come back to haunt the person, leaving them with no hope for the future. The second verse mentions a specific memory of a rainy day when the person couldn't forget the name of their love. The chorus follows, asking for the love to remember them and their foolishness. The last verse explains how the person has moved on, but they still can't forget their past, asking the love not to come back but to remember them in their future.
Overall, the lyrics are beautifully written, and John-Hoon's voice conveys the emotions perfectly. The song's melody is somewhat slow and sad, further emphasizing the feelings of the lyrics. The way the words are calculated and connected to each other makes the song even more meaningful and impactful on an emotional level.
