26 lines of dreams to achieve, 14 of dreams in sleep: the 60 'dream' lines in 100 chart songs
30 of the 100 songs on the Bugs weekly chart (October 26 to November 1) sing about '꿈' (Korean for "dream") or 'dream'. We sorted the 60 lines by meaning and picked ten songs: dreams in sleep, dreams to achieve, and things likened to a dream.
We searched the Bugs lyrics of the 100 songs on the Bugs weekly chart (October 26 to November 1) for every line that has '꿈' (Korean for "dream") or 'dream' in it. There are 60 lines in 30 songs. We split the lines by meaning: 26 lines are a dream you want to achieve, 14 are a dream you have in your sleep, and 13 liken something to a dream, like 'feels like a dream', while 7 lines could be read either way. The editorial team read the lines one by one and sorted them. NCT DREAM, which carries 'dream' in its name, releases its sixth full-length album 'DREAM AFTER DREAM' tomorrow (the 9th), so before that, let's listen to the dreams on the chart.
At a glance
| Meaning | Lines | Songs | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dream to achieve | 26 | 11 | '같이 이상한 gramma 둘이 되는 게 꿈이야' ("my dream is for us to be two strange grandmas together") |
| Dream in sleep | 14 | 10 | '눈 뜨면 잊는 꿈' ("a dream you forget when you open your eyes") |
| Likened to a dream | 13 | 6 | 'Feels like a dream' |
| Could mean either | 7 | 6 | '망설임 없이 태어나는 꿈' ("a dream born without hesitation") |
When the meanings mix within one song, each meaning was counted on its own. The song with the most dream lines is RESCENE's 'Deja Vu', with 7.
