BTS ‘좋아요 (Like)’ Lyrics Explained – Learn Korean with BTS

BTS (방탄소년단) - '좋아요 (Like)' Lyrics (With English Translation & Korean Grammar/Vocabulary Notes)

[Jungkook] : Ooh whoa, wanna be loved… Don’t wanna be fool wanna be cool wanna be loved

너와의 same love Same love with you

너와의: "with you".

• 너 (you, informal) + -와 (and / with, used after a noun) + -의 (possessive particle, similar to "of" or "'s" in English)

*Grammar note: In 너와의 same love, the phrase 너와의 modifies the noun same love — it describes what kind of love it is: “the same love (that exists with you).” Without -의, the phrase would sound incomplete or grammatically incorrect because 너와 (with you) by itself cannot directly modify a noun — it needs -의 to make that connection. So the possessive particle -의 appears because “너와” (with you) is being used to modify a noun (“same love”), not as part of a sentence by itself. It’s not expressing ownership in the literal sense, but grammatical connection — forming a descriptive relationship: “the love of being with you.”

너와의 same love Same love with you

너와의: "with you".

• 너 (you, informal) + -와 (and / with, used after a noun) + -의 (possessive particle, similar to "of" or "'s" in English)

*Grammar note: In 너와의 same love, the phrase 너와의 modifies the noun same love — it describes what kind of love it is: “the same love (that exists with you).” Without -의, the phrase would sound incomplete or grammatically incorrect because 너와 (with you) by itself cannot directly modify a noun — it needs -의 to make that connection. So the possessive particle -의 appears because “너와” (with you) is being used to modify a noun (“same love”), not as part of a sentence by itself. It’s not expressing ownership in the literal sense, but grammatical connection — forming a descriptive relationship: “the love of being with you.”
