์ ์ํจ (jamsuham) literally means "submarine." It's a striking and rare word to find in a pop love song, which makes it a fun and memorable one to learn.
In "Fancy," TWICE sings, "๋๋ ๋ฐ๋ค์ ์ ์ํจ์ด ๋ผ" (I become a submarine in the sea that is you). This beautiful metaphor illustrates the feeling of wanting to dive deep and explore everything about the person they're infatuated with, getting completely immersed in their love.
TWICE's "Fancy" is a bold and energetic confession of a crush. The song throws away any idea of waiting for the other person to make the first move. Instead, the singer asks, "๋๊ฐ ๋จผ์ ์ข์ํ๋ฉด ์ด๋?" (Who cares who likes who first?) and decides, "์ง๊ธ ๋์๊ฒ๋ก ๊ฐ๋" (I'm going to you right now).
The lyrics are full of sweet and dramatic comparisons. The person they like is a dangerous rose, "๋ฐ๋ํด, ๋ ์ฅ๋ฏธ ๊ฐ์" (It stings, you're like a rose), but the singer isn't afraid. Their feelings are like melting chocolate ice cream, and their crush is the biggest, brightest star in the universe. It's a song about taking a chance and confidently going after what you want, no matter how risky it feels.
TWICE is a nine-member South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment through the reality survival show SIXTEEN. The group debuted on October 20, 2015 with the mini album The Story Begins, bringing together members Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu from South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.
Known for infectious, candy pop hooks and vibrant choreography, TWICE quickly became one of the biggest girl groups in K-pop with hits like "Cheer Up," "TT," and "Fancy." "Feel Special," the title track of their 2019 EP of the same name, topped Korea's Gaon Album Chart and was later certified Platinum. A decade into their career, TWICE remain one of K-pop's most successful acts, having sold out stadiums worldwide and become the first overseas act confirmed to headline Tokyo's National Stadium.
