Best Friend
Wendy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
어떻게 너를 알아볼 수 있었을까
왜 난 너였을까
마치 처음부터 내 옆자리는
너였던 것처럼
모든 것이 자연스러웠어
말투 하나 작은 습관들마저
You, you're my best friend
영원히 never end
내게 넌 끝나지 않을 이야기
너, 너라는 의미
우주보다 더 큰 무한함
Oh you, you're my best friend, ah yeah yeah
가장 가까운 곳에서
언제나 내 편이 되어줄 단 한 사람
그게 너여서 난
오랜 시간이 흘러버린대도
늘 변함없이
나를 감싸줄 너란 사람
Oh 긴 하루 끝에 무거운 한숨마저
따스한 위로에 사라져가
Oh you, you're my best friend
영원히 never end
내게 넌 끝나지 않을 이야기
너, 너라는 의미
우주보다 더 큰 무한함
Oh you, you're my best friend
항상 변함없는 편안함으로
누구보다도 넓은 포근함으로
바라만 보고 있어도
웃음이 나오는 사이
아무 말 하지 않아도 느껴지는 걸
Oh you, you're my best friend
영원히 never end
넌 절대 끝날 수 없는 이야기
너와 나 함께라는 의미
내가 (내가) 늘 너를 (너를) 지켜줄게
Oh, 'cause I'm your best friend
(You're my best friend)
Oh, thank you, my best friend
The lyrics of Wendy Seulgi's song Best Friend celebrate the deep bond between two friends. The singer wonders how she ever met her friend among so many people, and it feels as if her friend was always by her side. The small habits and quirks her friend has become a part of her, and the singer feels comforted by her presence. The chorus repeats the sentiment that her friend is her best friend forever and that their relationship is more significant than anything in the universe. As time passes, their friendship remains constant, and they can share their joys and pain with ease.
The song captures the intimacy and importance of deep friendships. There are some friends who are not just a part of our lives; they are our lives. The lyrics evoke the feeling of safety and comfort that we feel around our best friends. It's a beautiful tribute to the people in our lives who make everything better.

I'm crying.
Seulgi trained for a long time, unsure when she can debut. I remembered her being insecure, felt like her voice wasnt good enough. And then came Wendy, trainee/friend whose voice is such heavenly, and instead of being more insecure, Seulgi gained strength.
These 2 beautiful girls supported one another, complementing each other weaknesses and strengths, and just like that...they became the best of friends.
@eyebrowstj
Such beautiful words. I also feel like Seulgi's dancing abilities helped Wendy become a better dancer. Wendy wanted to quit after seeing Seulgi dance. Together they make Red Velvet stages look amazing along with the rest of the girls.
