The structure of the word

'마중' is going out to meet someone arriving. For the word to hold, two conditions are needed.

One is that someone is coming; the other is that they haven't arrived yet. Once they've come it isn't a 마중, it's a meeting.

So the word always contains waiting. There must be a stretch of standing outside for it to apply at all.

The English title states the waiting outright

The English title is 'Where I Still Wait'.

Waiting is hidden inside the Korean '마중'; the English title brings it out. 'Still' does that especially — it means a good deal of time has passed.

Put the two together and the state becomes clear: they went out to meet someone, the person hasn't come, and it's been a while.

A title pointing at a place

The English title begins with 'Where' — a word for location.

'마중' is inherently an act with a fixed place. A station, a stop, a doorway: you choose a spot the arriving person will pass and stand there.

If the Korean title names the act, the English names the place where the act happens. The same situation, divided into a verb and a location.

Discovery note

Listen once without the titles. Decide whether this song is on the waiting side or the leaving side.

Then set the two titles side by side. An act called 마중 and a place called where I still wait point at the same thing.

Last, consider 'still'. With that word, the waiting acquires a length.

Just give it a listen, trust me.
