๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค โ€” uncertain

๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค translates to "uncertain" or "unclear". It's a word that captures a feeling of doubt or ambiguity, which is a common human experience.

In "Moonwalkin'", the artist sings, "๋„ˆ์˜ ๋Œ€๋‹ต์€ ์•„์ง ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค" (Your answer is still uncertain). This highlights the emotional tension in the song, as the speaker is waiting for a clear response from someone important. It's a relatable word that adds depth to the song's narrative about navigating relationships and personal feelings.

Moonwalking is the right image for the spot this song is stuck in: the dance slides you across the floor while carrying you backwards, which is exactly where LNGSHOT are. "์‹œ๊ฐ„์€ ๊ณ„์† tick-tockin'" (the clock keeps tick-tockin') while "์šฐ๋ฆฐ ์•„๋งˆ๋„ ๊ณ„์† moonwalkin'" (we're probably still moonwalkin'). He is not complaining, or not much. "๋‚œ ์ด๋Œ€๋กœ๋„ ๊ดœ์ฐฎ์ง€๋งŒ" (I'd be fine just like this, but) is the line that keeps coming back, and the "but" does all the work, because "๋„ˆ์˜ ๋Œ€๋‹ต์€ ์•„์ง ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค" (your answer is still unclear). Halfway through the hook the cool drops and it turns into a plain request: "๋ฌด์Šจ ๋ง์ด๋“  ํ•ด์ค˜ ๋นจ๋ฆฌ" (say something, anything, quickly).

The verses explain why he can afford to wait. He remembers dancing "์ƒ๊ด€์—†๋‹ค๋Š” ๋“ฏํ•œ ๋ˆˆ์œผ๋กœ" (with a look that said I couldn't care less) back when the pockets were still light, and he reports his own rise as a shopping joke: "๋” ์ด์ƒ ์‚ด ๊ฑด ์ด์   ์—†์–ด" (there's nothing left for me to buy now). Roughly half the lines are Korean and half are English, and it switches mid-line as easily as it switches between swagger and the plain question underneath. Michael Jackson gets named outright, twice, which on a debut single is either very sure of itself or a bit funny, and it lands as both.
