어째 오늘 너 피곤해 보여
OK 그렇다면 (hey)

In “빙그르” by f(x), the singer tries to comfort her lover, who looks tired and uneasy. She offers a special and secret medicine that she created just for them. The recipe is compared to medicine for the sick, it's made to help heal from the emotional pain they may be experiencing. The potion is made with a secret recipe of mixed ingredients, described as being smoother than lemon and fresher than orange. The drink is also mixed with a little bit of sadness, some sighs of relief, and happiness, and it's potent enough to make things better, and ultimately make it seem as if everything is okay. As the song progresses, the chorus repeats the phrase “빙그르 빙그르 빙글빙글”, which means “round and round”, possibly describing the dizzying effects of the potion.
