VROMANCE, 18th Digital Single [Pretending to be Okay]

The digital single ‘Pretending to be Okay’ is an album that marks the pinnacle of VROMANCE’s unique ballad style.
Based on powerful and appealing vocal skills, Park Janghyun’s emotional vocals, Park Hyunkyu’s delicate and dynamic vocal interpretation, and Lee Hyunseok’s soft and sophisticated vocals that envelop the ears come together to complete VROMANCE’s perfect ballad.

In particular, VROMANCE’s ‘Pretending to be Okay’ can be considered an album that expresses gratitude to their fans ‘VROCCOLI’, who have been with them for the past 8 years, as a gift for their continued love and support.

‘Pretending to be Okay (Still)’ is a ballad that showcases VROMANCE’s sorrowful vocals along with dynamic string sounds. Although pretending to be okay in the daily life left alone after a breakup, the traces we left still remain, breaking me down at every moment. The piano melody that signals the start of the song reminds of cherished memories, and the sweeping string sound that rushes in like a wave of longing expresses the unbearable sadness and the pain of separation that cannot be easily escaped.

Lyrics

#

안녕이라 말하고 서로 돌아서서 (Annyeongira malhago seoro dorasoseo)
After saying goodbye and turning away from each other

다른 길을 가야 해 이젠 남이니까 (Dareun gireul gaya hae ijen namyinikka)
We have to go separate ways now that we’re strangers

미칠 듯 보고 싶어도 네 생각 떠올라도 (Michil deut bogo sipeodo ne saenggak tteoollado)
Even if I miss you like crazy, even if I think of you

이젠 아무것도 할 수 없는 걸 (Ijen amugeotdo hal su eomneun geol)
There’s nothing I can do now

덤덤하게 살아 보려 했지만 (Deomdeomhage sara boryeo haetjiman)
I tried to live nonchalantly

자꾸 생각나는걸 너를 그리워하니까 (Jakku saenggaknaneungeol neoreul geuriwohanikka)
But I keep thinking of you because I miss you

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

가슴 아파 죽을 것만 같아 (Gaseum apa jugeul geotman gata)
But it feels like I’m dying from heartache

애틋했던 순간도 모두 다 지났고 (Aeteuthaetdeon sungando modu da jinassgo)
All the cherished moments have passed

너라는 사람도 떠났어 (Neoraneun saramdo tteonasseo)
And you’ve left too

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

끝이라는 건 다 이런가 봐 (Kkeutiraneun geon da ireonga bwa)
I guess this is what endings are like

네가 남긴 흔적도 견디지 못해서 (Nega namgin heunjeokdo gyeondiji mothaeseo)
I can’t even bear the traces you left behind

안간힘 쓰는 난 어떡하라고 (Anganshim sseuneun nan eotteokharago)
What should I do as I struggle with all my might

집에 가는 길 꼭 전화했잖아 (Jibe ganeun gil kkok jeonhwahaesjanha)
You always called on your way home

이제 그런 것조차 난 할 수 없잖아 (Ije geureon geotjocha nan hal su eopsjanha)
Now I can’t even do that anymore

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

가슴 아파 죽을 것만 같아 (Gaseum apa jugeul geotman gata)
But it feels like I’m dying from heartache

애틋했던 순간도 모두 다 지났고 (Aeteuthaetdeon sungando modu da jinassgo)
All the cherished moments have passed

너라는 사람도 떠났어 (Neoraneun saramdo tteonasseo)
And you’ve left too

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

끝이라는 건 다 이런가 봐 (Kkeutiraneun geon da ireonga bwa)
I guess this is what endings are like

네가 남긴 흔적도 견디지 못해서 (Nega namgin heunjeokdo gyeondiji mothaeseo)
I can’t even bear the traces you left behind

안간힘 쓰는 난 어떡하라고 (Anganshim sseuneun nan eotteokharago)
What should I do as I struggle with all my might

아직 못다 한 많은 것들이 다시 내 발목을 붙잡아 (Ajik motda han maneun geotdeuri dasi nae balmeogeul butjaba)
The many things left unsaid hold me back again

너와의 모든 순간이 행복했었나 봐 (Neowaui modeun sungani haengbokaesseonna bwa)
I guess every moment with you was happy

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

너무 아파 죽을 것만 같아 (Neomu apa jugeul geotman gata)
But it feels like I’m dying from the pain

사랑한다 말하고 잘 자라 말하던 (Saranghanda malhago jal jara malhadeon)
The person who used to say “I love you” and “Good night”

너라는 사람도 떠났어 (Neoraneun saramdo tteonasseo)
Has left too

괜찮은 척하지만 (Gwaenchanheun cheokhajiman)
I’m pretending to be okay

아직도 널 놓지 못하나 봐 (Ajikdo neol nochi motana bwa)
I guess I still can’t let you go

영원할 것 같았던 행복한 순간도 (Yeongwonhal geot gatatdeon haengbokhan sungando)
Even the happy moments that seemed eternal

너무 그립지만 이제는 안녕 (Neomu geuripjiman ijeneun annyeong)
I miss them so much, but now it’s goodbye
