About the Song

《Love Disease》 explores the painful concept of love as an illness and the slow, inevitable death of affection in SUPER JUNIOR‘s evolving sound, capturing the helplessness of watching love fade away like a terminal condition beyond cure. Released in 2009 as part of their special album 너라고 (It’s You) under SM Entertainment, the song shifts away from hopeful declarations and sweet confessions, instead embracing melancholy, despair, and the somber realization that sometimes love doesn’t survive no matter how hard you fight for it. Rather than hope or recovery, 《Love Disease》 dwells in the grief of losing something precious to an inevitable end, positioning SUPER JUNIOR as artists capable of expressing the devastating metaphor of love’s mortality with emotional depth, haunting sincerity, and profound vulnerability.

You follow me closely, making it hard to breathe, suffocating me. You leave me alone and disappear, trying to hold onto me on those impossible days. I held your shoulders tightly and shouted that we were over.

This breakup is like a poison you don’t notice, spreading in my heart.

My love is slowly dying like a disease. It hurts a little, but there’s no desire to heal. Memories are erased without a trace. I want to go back to when we were strangers and finally rest.

Our relationship is like a broken alarm, leaving only chaos behind. Even the first feelings have faded, leaving nothing useful. I held both your hands and with a bitter smile, I told you to be happy.

nae-ga ju-go gan sang-cheo-reul kkok o-ru-man-jyeo gam-ssa jul

I’ll gently wrap and heal the wounds I’ve given you. Find love again.

My love is slowly dying like a disease. It hurts a little, but there’s no desire to heal. Memories are erased without a trace. I want to go back to when we were strangers and finally rest.

Even though it hurts now, someday you might even hate the memories of our kisses. I’ll wipe away the warmth I felt when you were in my arms with tears.

My love is slowly dying like a disease. It hurts a little, but there’s no desire to heal. Memories are erased without a trace. I want to go back to when we were strangers and finally rest.
