GAJIMA (가지마) means don't go. HAJIMA (하지마) means don't do, don't, or stop it, depending on the context. Whenever you hear JIMA (지마), it indicates a "don't." It is placed after a verb to make it negative.

As explained in KWOW episode 55, you make a verb negative by… 1. choosing an un-conjugated verb 2. subtracting DAH (다) 3. adding JIMA (지마)

For example, let's negate the un-conjugated verb "to cry": 울다 (ooldah) - 다 (dah) + 지마 (jima) = 울지마 (ooljima) And that's how you convert "to cry" into "don't cry."

[Taekwon's philosophy: "If you're sad, eat K-BBQ. If you're happy, eat K-BBQ."]

How do you convert "to do" into "don't do"? 하다 (hadah) - 다 (dah) + 지마 (jima) = 하지마 (hajima) Remember, HAJIMA can mean one of the following: don't do, don't, or stop it.

[Billy Jin and Madison Lee were high school un-sweethearts. There was mega drama between the two. Hyungmin, above, is Billy Jin's boyfriend's best friend.]

Shall we negate one more verb? For this final example, let's use the most important verb "to eat," which is 먹다 (mukdah) in Korean. 먹다 (mukdah) - 다 (dah) + 지마 (jima) = 먹지마 (mukjima)

[Little does Billy Jin know about Hyungmin and his new girlfriend Madison Lee. Ignorance is not always bliss, but Korean shaved ice is!]

Question #2: Can you spot the first GAJIMA in Hwanhee's "Don't Go"?

Hwanhee's beautiful farewell song that penetrates deep into the heart "Don't Go" of the JTBC drama "Padam Padam O.S.T Pt. 3" released on Jan 16th. "Don't Go" is a ballad full of appeal, which is a specialty of Hwanhee, with the acoustic guitar which plays from the beginning adding to the mellowness of the song.

Question #3: When does the 5th GAJIMA appear in Monday Kiz’s “Don’t Go”?

타이틀곡 '가지마'는 한국최고의 작곡가 김도훈, 이현승 콤비 작곡에 이진성이 작사에 참여한 곡으로 힙합이 가미된 강렬한 드럼비트와 웅장한 스트링 편곡이 더해진 새로운 스타일의 미디엄 템포 발라드곡이다. 락과 힙합, 발라드의 크로스오버적인 성격이 강한 곡으로 마이너코드와 메이저코드를 넘나드는 특이한 진행은 신선한 느낌을 주고 있다. 또한 발라드곡에서 보기 드문 후렴의 신스라인은 곡 전체의 느낌을 더욱 강렬하게 만들고 있다.
