#the red summer
- This is a companion post to this list of vocabulary found in the song.
- The romanization is not based only on the literal translation of the hangul characters; it is based on how the characters actually sound when put together. For example, while many sites romanize “귓속이” as “gwissogi,” the word should actually be pronounced as “gwitsogi,” so I’ve romanized it this way to make it easier to understand.
