10 Minutes

Cha Eun Woo's song '10 Minutes' delves into the fleeting yet intense moments of attraction and the complexities of human interaction in a social setting. The lyrics portray a scenario where the protagonist is aware of their charm and the effect it has on others, particularly women who are drawn to his indifferent demeanor. This theme is encapsulated in the repeated line, 'Just one ten minutes, 내 것이 되는 시간,' suggesting a desire to captivate someone's attention wholly, if only for a brief period.

The song also touches on themes of self-perception and the authenticity of one's public persona. Lines like '너의 지금 거울을 보며 섹시한 표정과 말투를 연습하고' reveal a character practicing expressions and tones in the mirror, hinting at the preparation involved in crafting an image meant to allure others. This is juxtaposed with the protagonist's plea for authenticity, urging others not to compare him to anyone else and to be true to themselves, as highlighted in 'Don't tell a lie, just be yourself.'

Moreover, '10 Minutes' subtly critiques the superficial interactions that often occur in nightlife environments, where appearances are paramount and genuine connections might be scarce. The protagonist's acknowledgment of the temporary nature of these interactions ('모두 없던 걸로 해') underscores a sense of impermanence and perhaps, a hint of cynicism about the depth of relationships formed under these circumstances.
