This sense of stagnation is further emphasized by the imagery of tears and scars, which serve as constant reminders of the past. The emotional depth and raw vulnerability in Kim Yeon Ji's performance bring these themes to life, making 'Scar-The tale of NokDu' a powerful and relatable ballad for anyone who has experienced the pain of lost love.
