Earlier this month the MV for Electric Shock, the 2012 hit by f(x), notched up over 100 million views on YouTube. The high hit count was part of a project by fanbase MeU who streamed the MV enmasse as a thanks to the girls for their continued hard work. Amber was so thrilled she tweeted about it.
Objective: Learn some interesting vocab from the song
First up, listen to Sulli’s first line at 0:17 in the MV:
충 충 충분해 네 사랑이 과분해 chung chung chungbunhae ne sarangi gwabunhae
love = 사랑이 sarangi
to be too much = 과분하다 gwabunada it has been modified here to 과분해 gwabunhey
So, Sulli’s saying ‘Your love is too much for me/beyond my expectation.’ Kdrama fans have likely heard this before, as characters often protest ‘s/he’s too good for me.’
걔는 나한테 과분해 gyaenun nahante gwabunae
Second, listen out for Sulli and Amber’s lines at 1:25 in the MV. There’s some useful medical vocabulary in here!
