Note: This entire song was written around the Korean character ㅋ (kieuk). Almost every line of the song contains a word with that character. Koreans use kieuk to express laughter online. When you’re chatting or texting with someone, a single ㅋ can often be depicted as a sarcastic, derisive or dismissive laugh.

I guess you’re fast asleep
I wanted to knock on your door
But since it’s a dark night
I’m just sending you a text

My heart that pounded all day
I tried to write all of it down and send it
But you were sleeping
And then just sent one character “k”

kkkk kk kk kk kk
I didn’t expect something big
I just hoped you would at least say a word
kkkk kk kk kk kk
Is it better than just laughing out loud?
But it’s not even kkk or kk but just one k
That made my tears just spill out

I put a lot of laughter in my text
So I might seem playful
But I wrote it with a lot of care

Just like picking up a bean with chopsticks
I selected each emoticon carefully
It was a big step for me to send that text
But you ended everything with just one character “k”
Now reflected in my lifeless and red eyes
Is a completely shut chatroom

kkkk kk kk kk kk
I didn’t expect something big
I just hoped you would at least say a word
kkkk kk kk kk kk
Is it better than just laughing out loud?
But it’s not even kkk or kk but just one k
Tears are spilling out
