Grammar notes (4)

바른 척 = pretend to be righteous

넌 바른 척하는 criminal

criminal is ironic: the accuser becomes the accused.

Pattern: [stem] + ヌン チョッカヌン + [noun]

Example: 아는 척하는 사람 (a know-it-all)

-ㄴ 이유 = the reason why

욕을 하는 이윤 다 있는 거야 나 아닌 너 안에

The reason fully exists — just not where you think.

Pattern: [stem] + ン イユ

Example: 미워할 이유가 없어 (no reason to hate)

-지 말고 = don't (and then)

눈치 보지 말고 volume up up up

눈치 보다 is the cultural keyword: refusing it = declaring freedom.

Pattern: [stem] + ジ マルゴ + [命令]

Example: 겁내지 말고 해라 (do it without fear)

누가 뭐래도 = whatever anyone says

누가 뭐래도 litty dumb

누가 뭐래도 pre-blocks all criticism before the party starts.

Pattern: ヌガ モレオド + [phrase]
