Original Hangeul (Immutable)

뒤늦은 후회는 아무것도 바꿀 수 없지만 앞으로의 다짐은 나를 바꿀 수 있다


Translation

Note: English translation. Other translations are possible.

Though belated regret can change nothing resolve for the future can change me


Translation Guide (The Origin Focus)

'뒤늦은' / '앞으로의' (belated / for the future): The first line opens on 뒤늦은 and the second on 앞으로의, and their first syllables, 뒤 and 앞, are also the words for behind and ahead. English belated and for the future share no such pair. Bringing one in, as with regret left behind and resolve going ahead, would add words the Korean does not have.
