MEET THE ARTIST / 예빛
Yebit
Yebit’s releases include Dancing With You, Home and the EP 23. Here, her performance of “Only You” follows someone trying to hide how much a relationship still matters.
In “Only You”, a walk through Seoul Forest brings a changed relationship into focus. The speaker still wants comfort from the person they struggle to face. Yebit sings it here at the Rolling 31st anniversary concert.
Lyrics, music and arrangement by Choi Hong-gyu (Rebuild). The single was released on 20 February 2024; this live clip was uploaded on 12 February 2026.

INSIDE THE LYRICS
When the place stays the same
- Longing
- Changing relationships
Seoul Forest is a shared place in the song’s memory. Walking there alone, the speaker finds familiar surroundings that make the change between two people harder to ignore. A remembered voice makes the other person feel close even in their absence.
The tension is in the request for comfort: the person the speaker finds painful to face is also the person they want to lean on. Read this way, the song leaves affection and hurt together, without resolving the relationship.
괜찮은 척척 marks an appearance or pretence. Here it separates the speaker’s outward composure from what they feel. The smile is part of the effort to conceal hurt, rather than evidence that the hurt has passed.
