Overall Meaning

"Ring Ding Dong" is a popular song by SHINee, a South Korean boy band. The lyrics of the song seem to be talking about a man's fascination with a beautiful but 'complicated girl'. The song begins with Jonghyun asking why he is so drawn to a girl who had refused him. We hear that the girl is 'complicated'. Then, the song goes on to describe how despite this, the singer is smitten with her. The chorus of the song is very catchy and involves repetition of the phrase "ring ding dong". This phrase might be likened to the sound of a doorbell, signifying the singer's persistent attempts to get the girl's attention despite her apparent reluctance.


In the second verse, we hear another voice, presumably Onew's. He describes the feeling of being blinded by the girl's beauty as his "nooni beonjjeok", essentially stopping his head. The rap verse is contributed by Key. In the bridge of the song, Taemin and Jonghyun acknowledge that the girl's seeming complexity and their obsession with her is shared by each other. They tell her not to worry about anything and that she has nothing to fear.

[KST Time]

Today marks 6 years since our beloved Jonghyun went to Heaven.

It's amazing how, as time passes, the feeling of pain gives way to the most beautiful memories that Jonghyun provided us throughout his life.

Jonghyun, know that SHINee is doing well, and you would be so proud to see them today.

Jonghyun, you will always be in our hearts, and once again, today, we from the SHINee World Community and Korean music in general come together to extend our thoughts and celebrate your music, your life, and your career. 🎙️🌹💎

[ALWAYS BE WITH YOU]
