Why so pretty? (왜 이렇게 예뻐?)

MJ from ASTRO captures the essence of infatuation and admiration in his song 'Why so pretty? (왜 이렇게 예뻐?)'. The lyrics revolve around the overwhelming feelings that arise when one is captivated by someone's beauty. MJ expresses a sense of anxiety and restlessness, as he finds himself constantly thinking about this person and feeling insecure because others also notice her attractiveness. This sense of jealousy and possessiveness is conveyed through lines like '어딜 가도 너만 다 쳐다보잖아' (Wherever I go, everyone is looking at you).

The song delves into the internal struggle of wanting to get closer to the person he admires but feeling hesitant and unsure. MJ's lyrics, '너에게 조금씩 다가갈래 더 이상 못 참을 것 같아' (I want to get closer to you little by little, I can't stand it anymore), highlight his desire to bridge the gap between them. The repeated question '왜 이렇게 예뻐' (Why are you so pretty?) underscores his bewilderment and fascination with her beauty, which he finds almost unfair.

As the song progresses, MJ acknowledges that the person he admires is aware of her own beauty, which adds to his sense of helplessness. Despite this, he confesses his feelings, hoping for a reciprocation. The lyrics '사실 널 좋아해 내 영화의 끝은 바로 너야' (Actually, I like you, the end of my movie is you) reveal his deep affection and the hope that she will be the happy ending to his story. The song beautifully captures the universal experience of being enamored with someone who seems almost too perfect to be real, blending vulnerability with a touch of romantic idealism.
