“칼을 빼 들어 난 칼을 빼 들었지”kareul ppae deureo nan kareul ppae deureotji
on I'll Make You Cry →Approved & live
칼을 빼 들어 난 칼을 빼 들었지 (kareul ppae deureo, nan kareul ppae deureotji) means 'I draw my sword — I've drawn my sword.' Saying it first in the present and then the past tense gives it a slow-motion, cinematic feel, and the drawn-sword image carries the weight of Korean sageuk (사극, historical-drama) tradition, where unsheathing a blade signals total commitment to a fight. The line is from 'I'll Make You Cry' on aespa's 2021 mini-album Savage (Wikipedia).
