JUNGWOO “SUGAR” Lyrics

Hangul

(Sugar, sugar)
(Sugar) Sweetest I mean it
(Sugar, sugar)
Ooh, ah

Sugar rush, can’t deny
설레이며 기대하게 돼 난
자꾸 웃음이 나
설명도 필요 없이, that’s all I need
하나둘 녹아든
우리 둘 사이 mood (Oh, na-na-na)
유리병 가득히
담긴 둘만의 시간 and love song

Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)
두 눈을 맞추고 (Sugar, sugar)
함께하길 빌어
꿈 같이 은밀해 (은밀해)
변함없을 feeling
Won’t you be my sugar
When I’m feelin’ bitter?

Oh, my baby, it’s sweet all night
맛본 순간 너에게로 감겨버릴 flavor
That’s sweet delight
Sugar rushing 넘쳐버린, you’re my adrenaline
까만 밤 달빛 새
기다림도 sweet 해
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

사르르 녹아가듯 눈 감아, ah
달콤한 향기 가득 cherry pie, ah (Ooh)
펼쳐진 메르헨, oh, take a bite (B-bite)
어디든 네 곁인 것 같애
Every time, you’re filling me up
항상 같은 마음인 걸 알잖아
함께한 시간의 넌
You’re the sweetest, I can’t get enough, so

Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)
두 눈을 맞추고 (Sugar, sugar)
함께하길 빌어
꿈 같이 은밀해
변함없을 feeling
Won’t you be my sugar
When I’m feelin’ bitter?

Oh, my baby, it’s sweet all night
맛본 순간 너에게로 감겨버릴 flavor
That’s sweet delight
Sugar rushing, 넘쳐버린, you’re my adrenaline
까만 밤 달빛 새
기다림도 sweet 해
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

Night, night
너도 모르게 잠깐
너무 쓴 밤에 아파 (All night)
혼자 단꿈 바라면서
눈 감을 때
잠들지 못한
내게로 와 (Ah)
함께야 everyday

Sweet all mine
입안 가득 별이 내려 반짝이는 flavor
My sweet delight
잠시 멈춘 시간들도 특별할 memories
함께 할 내일의 (I’ll be with you)
공기마저 sweet 해
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

Won’t you be my? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Ooh)
Won’t you be my? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar?

Translation

(Sugar, sugar)
(Sugar) Sweetest I mean it
(Sugar, sugar)
Ooh, ah

Sugar rush, can’t deny
I start to feel fluttery and expectant
I keep breaking into laughter
No explanation needed, that’s all I need
One by one, it melts in—
The mood between the two of us (Oh, na-na-na)
Filling a glass jar to the brim
With our time together and love song

Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)
Locking eyes with you (Sugar, sugar)
I pray that we’ll be together
Secretive, like a dream (Secretive)
A feeling that will never change
Won’t you be my sugar
When I’m feelin’ bitter?

Oh, my baby, it’s sweet all night
The moment I taste it, a flavor that wraps me around you
That’s sweet delight
Sugar rushing, overflowing—you’re my adrenaline
In the moonlight of the dark night
Even the waiting is sweet
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

Close your eyes as if melting away, ah
Full of a sweet scent, cherry pie, ah (Ooh)
A fairy tale unfolding, oh, take a bite (B-bite)
It feels like I’m by your side everywhere
Every time, you’re filling me up
You know our hearts have always been the same
You, who were there in the time we shared—
You’re the sweetest, I can’t get enough, so

(Chorus Repeat)
Won’t you be my sugar?…
When I’m feelin’ bitter?

Oh, my baby, it’s sweet all night
The moment I taste it, a flavor that wraps me around you
That’s sweet delight
Sugar rushing, overflowing—you’re my adrenaline
In the moonlight of the dark night
Even the waiting is sweet
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

Night, night
Without you even knowing, for a moment
In a night that is too bitter and painful (All night)
While wishing for a sweet dream alone
When you close your eyes
To me, who couldn’t fall asleep—
Come to me (Ah)
We’re together everyday

Sweet all mine
Stars falling inside my mouth, a sparkling flavor
My sweet delight
Even the moments when time stopped will be special memories
In the tomorrow we’ll share (I’ll be with you)
Even the air is sweet
Won’t you be my sugar? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Come and put it on me)

Won’t you be my? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar? (Ooh)
Won’t you be my? (Sugar, sugar)
Won’t you be my sugar?

JUNGWOO “SUGAR” Meaning

Jungwoo “SUGAR” is a striking solo debut that introduces a more mature, dual-sided identity, blending sweetness with an underlying edge. As the lead track of his album Saccharine, the song perfectly encapsulates a concept that is both alluring and dangerous.

At its core, “SUGAR” uses sweetness as a double-edged metaphor. The relationship described in the lyrics feels addictive like a sugar rush that delivers instant pleasure but eventually leads to a crash. It highlights the idea of being drawn to something you know isn’t good for you, yet unable to resist its pull.

The track also marks a deliberate shift in Jungwoo’s image, presenting a “soft but powerful” persona. While the melody remains bright and smooth, there’s a deeper, more sensual subtext in both the lyrics and performance. This contrast reinforces the theme: what appears sweet on the outside can hide intensity underneath.

A standout element is the use of sensory imagery, with references to taste and texture like “melting,” “syrup,” and sweetness spreading through the body. These details make the emotion feel almost physical, immersing listeners in the experience of temptation and indulgence.

Ultimately, “SUGAR” is about the thrill and danger of irresistible attraction a song that captures how something sweet can quickly become overwhelming, yet still impossible to let go of.
