About This Track

RM and Erykah Badu examine what it means to remain human in a world that demands compromise. The track is named after the late painter Yun Hyongkeun, whose work adorns the album's cover, and RM uses that lineage to frame a meditation on artistic integrity and personal truth. He rejects the pressure to follow trends, instead returning to a childhood clarity where things were simply good or bad, right or wrong. Badu's presence anchors the song in restraint; her refrain insists on silence before action, on being human before anything else. The song's central tension is RM's refusal to abandon his convictions for commercial ease. He speaks of standing at the boundary between worlds, of dancing where no one watches, of holding fast to truths that offer no reward. Yet he also acknowledges the cost: isolation, the risk of becoming nothing. True beauty, he argues, is inseparable from true sadness. The song moves between Korean and English, between philosophical samples and direct address, building toward an acceptance that the struggle itself is the point. To be human is to keep trying, even when the world insists you cannot succeed.

"Yun" is a track by RM, from the album Indigo, released 2nd December 2022. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Yun

[알엠 "Yun" ft. Erykah Badu 가사]

[Sample: 윤형근]

평생 진리에 살다가야한다 이거야

플라톤의 인문학에서는

인간의 본질인데, 진선미

진실하다는 '진'자 하고, 착할 '선'자하고 아름다울 '미'하고인데

내 생각에는 진 하나만 가지면 다 해결되는 것 같아

[Verse 1: RM]

Fuck the trendsetter

I'ma turn back the time

Back the time, far to when I was nine

좋은 것과 아닌 것밖에 없던 그때

차라리 그때가 더 인간이었던 듯해

이쪽저쪽에서 받았던 손가락질들이

이젠 가야 할 곳이라며 저 산을 가리키지

That's where you belong

Oh, you gon' be alone if

뭣도 아닌 그 진심들을 고집하면은

팀 빠진 넌 사실 뭣도 아니야 너는

고속도로서 오솔길로 가려 해 너는

그냥 내 말 좀 들어 그러다 다 잃어

늘 그랬듯 you go with the flow, you get better

Fuck that shit, 에뜨랑제의 lifestyle

늘 나의 자리는 경계선의 pipeline

여전히 난 허락되지 않는 꿈을 꿔

아무도 보지 않는 춤을 춰

[Pre-Chorus: Erykah Badu]

You keep the silence

'Fore you do somethin', now

Yeah, yeah

You be a human

Till the death of you, now

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: RM]

I wanna be a human

'Fore I do some art

It's a cruel world

But there's gon' be my part

'Causе true beauty is a true sadnеss

Now you could feel my madness

I wanna be a human

'Fore I do some art

It's a cruel world

But there's gon' be my part

'Cause true beauty is a true sadness

Now you could feel my madness

[Verse 2: RM]

그는 말했지 늘, 먼저 사람이 돼라

예술 할 생각 말고 놀아 느껴 희로애락

What is it with the techniques?

What is it with the skills?

What is it with all the words?

In your lyrics that you can't feel?

나 당신이 말한 진리가 뭔지 몰라 다만

그저 찾아가는 길 위 나의 속도와 방향

You're dead

But to me you the fuckin' contemporary

여전히 이곳에 살아서 흘러 permanently

이 모든 경계의 위에 선 자들에게

반드시 보내야만 했던 나의 밤을 건네

반짝이는 불꽃은 언젠가 땅으로

카이사르의 것은 카이사르로

시커멓게 탄 심장

재를 뿌린 그 위에 시를 쓰네

사선을 오갔던 생과

당신이 마침내 이 땅에 남긴 것들에게

나 역시 그저 좀 더 나은 어른이길

[Pre-Chorus: Erykah Badu]

You keep the silence

'Fore you do somethin', now

Yeah, yeah

You be a human

Till the death of you, now

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus: RM]

I wanna be a human

'Fore I do some art

It's a cruel world

But there's gon' be my part

'Cause true beauty is a true sadness

Now you could feel my madness

I wanna be a human

'Fore I do some art

It's a cruel world

But there's gon' be my part

'Cause true beauty is a true sadness

Now you could feel my madness?

[Sample: 윤형근]

내가 죽기까지 못하는 거야

그렇게 하고싶은데 안되는거야

그러려면 욕심도 다 버리고

모든 욕심을 다 버려야해

천진무구한 세계로 들어가야지

그러니까 그건 나는 그렇게 하고 싶은데 안되는거야

근데 죽을 때까지 그렇게 해보려고 노력은 해야지

그게 인간의 목적인 것 같아
