์๊ตฌ์ณ (sot-gu-chyeo) comes from the verb ์๊ตฌ์น๋ค, meaning to "soar," "surge," or "shoot up." It evokes a powerful, sudden upward movement, like something bursting free and rising fast.
In the song, the lyrics say "๊ฟ๊ณผ ํฌ๋ง์ด์ฌ ์๊ตฌ์ณ ํ๋๋ก" ("Dreams and hopes, shoot up to the sky"), using the word to show dreams rising high with unstoppable energy.
