Fan Annotations (2)
“eit, nappun mal haji ma” 에잇, 나쁜 말하지 마
'에잇, 나쁜 말하지 마' means 'eight, don't say bad things.' '에잇' (eit) doubles as a small sigh of exasperation in Korean and as the number eight — the title comes from the last digit of the Korean age 'twenty-eight,' which both IU and Suga were at the time (Wikipedia). 'Eight' was released May 6, 2020, written by IU, Suga, and El Capitxn and produced by and featuring BTS's Suga (Wikipedia); its lyrics center on self-reflection.

“I remember seumulne sal eui bom” I Remember 스물네살의 봄
'I Remember 스물네살의 봄' means 'I remember the spring of twenty-four,' anchoring the song's sense of loss to one specific age and season — the kind of early-twenties moment that feels eternal in memory. IU often writes songs tied to her age (for example 'Twenty-Three' and 'Palette'). 'Eight,' produced by and featuring Suga, debuted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart and topped Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart (Wikipedia).
