Stella Jang's song Pierrot Laughs At Us (삐에로는 우릴 보고 웃지) is about the dichotomy between appearance and reality. The narrator of the song describes themselves as a Pierrot, a clown-like character who always wears a red hat and keeps a smile on their face to mask their true emotions. Despite their outward appearance, the narrator is actually hiding their sadness and struggling to find meaning in life. They observe others around them, who seem content to dance and laugh without a care in the world, but the narrator cannot bring themselves to join in. The song suggests that society has become obsessed with superficial happiness, to the point where people forget what truly matters. Ultimately, the narrator is drawn to the Pierrot character because it represents an honest expression of emotion, even if that emotion is sadness. The song suggests that it is better to be genuine and embrace one's true emotions, rather than to hide behind a false facade.
