A line hidden in their debut song: four songs BEANSPROUT sang at a playground
Photo: still from NONOL LIVE footage (BEANSPROUT)

The four-piece pop band BEANSPROUT sang four songs at Gyeongin Children's Park in Sinwol-dong, Yangcheon-gu, Seoul. They were excited from the first word: "It's such an honor to be on a channel I personally wanted to appear on." But this video hides a little game of hide-and-seek that the description hints at first: one line from their debut song is tucked, word for word, into the last song.

Time in the video Song Story
0:29 Stopped (멎었네) The song the band introduced as their debut
4:46 Humming (허밍) Written to jump around to at festivals
8:40 Just a Moment (잠깐만) Released a month or two before filming
12:10 Sweet Song (달달한 노래) Unreleased at filming; the first song the band ever wrote

1:56 and 13:06

The lyric at 1:56 in the debut song 'Stopped', "Is it enough just to look at me?" (바라만 보기만 해도 좋니), comes back exactly at 13:06 in the last song, 'Sweet Song'. According to the description, 'Sweet Song' is the first song the band wrote, and part of the debut song's lyrics pays homage to it. In other words, they transplanted a line from the song they wrote first into their debut. Play the two timestamps back to back and the same words land at completely different temperatures.

The twist in the "calm" song

The band introduced 'Sweet Song' as "calmer and warmer" than the songs before it. Yet the loudest point in this video isn't in the upbeat 'Humming' — it's around 14:47 in this very song. A song that starts quietly lifts the whole band by the end.

A song made for festivals

The singer introduced the second song, 'Humming', as "a song I wrote so I could jump around with all of you if we were at a festival." From 7:36 until just before the end is the song's hottest stretch. Starting tomorrow (October 2), Busan hosts a three-day rock festival. There's no better song to practice your sing-along.

The third song, 'Just a Moment', is one where "the guitar, bass and drums all move flashily," so they asked listeners to focus on the instruments. And 'Sweet Song', unreleased at the time of filming, was officially released in May 2025 as 'NONOL VOL 61', along with live versions of 'Humming' and 'Stopped' from this video. As of late September, the video had about 29,000 views.
