A title that leads with frequency

'Gakkeum' is a word that counts occasions rather than measuring size. The title writes down how often the missing arrives before it says how big the missing is.

And then 'neomu' — 'so much' — comes right after. 'Sometimes' and 'so much' are a hard pair to use together. It means it doesn't happen often, but it hits hard each time it does.

That pairing is the heart of this title. Saying you miss someone every day means the story hasn't ended yet. Saying you miss them only sometimes, but that much, turns it into a story about the aftermath — fine most days, undone only at certain moments.

The two titles say different things

The English title is 'Still Missing You'. 'Still' points to something that has carried on: time has passed, and it hasn't stopped.

The Korean title talks about frequency ('sometimes'); the English one talks about duration ('still'). The same state, measured from two different angles.

It's common for a translated title to say something other than the original. Here, though, the two don't drift apart — they fill each other in. Sometimes, and still. Put them side by side and the state comes into sharper focus.

Discovery notes

Try listening before you know the title. Going by the voice alone, decide whether this is a song by someone who hasn't finished with it, or by someone who already has.

Then set the two titles next to each other and listen again. You'll find your answer splitting between 'sometimes' and 'still' — which one sits closer to the song.

Finally, check whether the word 'gakkeum' is actually sung in the chorus. If it lives only in the title and not in the lyrics, that means it's a condition the speaker attached to themselves.

Just give it a listen, trust me.
