What is love?

Ooh 언젠간 내게도
이런 일이 실제로 일어날까?

The song "What is Love?" by TWICE is all about the concept of love. The lyrics are about the curiosity and wonder that people feel about love, and how it is portrayed in books, movies, and TV shows. The opening lines talk about how people feel love every day, even if it's just within the confines of their entertainment. The chorus asks about the feeling of love, and how it makes people feel sweet and happy. There is also a sense of anticipation and urgency in the lyrics, as the singer wonders when they will experience this feeling for themselves and who they will experience it with. The bridge contains a list of questions about where this love will come from and when it will arrive, addressing the sense of longing and uncertainty that is inherent in the search for love.
