Stray Kids ROCK-STAR 樂-STAR CONCEPT and all
So last night, Stray Kids released their teaser video without noticing. STAYs were excited for their comeback, however one more language play popped up! Stray Kids ROCK-STAR and 樂-STAR. The concept of it might be not familiar with foreign STAYs. So in this article, I will be explaining it briefly.
喜怒哀樂
First of all what we have to understand is the 4 words idiom (sajaseongeo in Korean), called 喜怒哀樂. In Korean we read it as HEE/NO/AE/ROCK. What is it? So each Chinese character has a meaning itself. So from this, it might be weird. In English, the alphabets does not have meanings, but in Chinese it does. Chinese characters were popular in Korea,too. So Hangeul is same concept with alphabets, but not the Chinese characters. 喜怒哀樂 in total means, joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. It is simply an idiom that refers to a person’s various emotions.
喜怒哀
喜 read as ‘hee‘ has a meaning of joy. It includes all the joy, you can be smiling lightly to a big laugh. 怒 read as ‘No’ means anger, and madness. Sometimes the character is used when you scold someone. You are ‘no‘ at them. 哀 read as ‘ae‘ means sorrow. Sometimes it can be sorry, too. You feel pity, then you can feel the ‘ae‘ on it.
樂
樂 read as ‘ROCK‘ is used by Stray Kids, this time. They were clever. More than clever, it was actually brilliant. Why? 樂 means music. It is music itself and pleasure & happiness at same time. Ancestors thought music can show how they are happy. So music and pleasure started to use same character.
So ROCK STAR Stray Kids, means three thing at the same time. Genre, ROCK STAR. STAR who plays music, and the one who knows the joy of life.
