Can I (Korean Version)

The song begins with a portrayal of emotional numbness, where the protagonist's heart feels dead, and only his mind is active. This state of emotional dormancy is disrupted when he meets someone who reignites his passion and warmth. The lyrics '넌 내 마음에 서서히 기름을 부어' (You slowly pour oil into my heart) metaphorically describe how this new love interest rekindles the fire within him, making him feel alive again.

'Can I (Korean Version)' is a heartfelt plea for love, showcasing JunHo's vulnerability and deep emotional connection to the subject of his affection.
