힘들어 (heem-deul-uh)~ difficult, hard

If you add 겠지만 (get-ji-mahn) to an adjective, it means although so 힘들겠지만 (heem-deul-get-ji-mahn) means although it is difficult.

Although it is difficult

현실 (hyeon-sheel)~ reality

If you add 에 (eh) to a noun, it means in so 현실에 (hyeon-sheel-eh) means in reality.

수긍 (soo-geung)~ convince, agree

하고 (ha-gah) can mean and/to do

In the Korean language, convince is not a verb but a noun so you must add to do. You do the convincing.

자기 (jah-gi)~ you, also can be used as a term of endearment like "dear" or "honey"

자기 can mean yourself if you add 더 (deo) to the end (더 can also mean more)

투자 (too-jah)~ invest

Put it all together and it means

Agree to the reality and invest more into yourself.

성공 (seong-gong)~ success

모습 (moh-seub)~  it's hard to explain because I don't know the English word for this, but it's basically like a side of yourself or a side of any person in general (ie. This is the first time I've seen this intensively scary side of the usually cute girl.)

A successful you

가장 (gah-jang)~ most

현명 (hyeon-myeong)~ wisdom

복수 (bok-soo)~ revenge

Is the wisest revenge.

A/N:

I think this quote contains a lot of useful voacabulary and provides some really good advice at the same time so I decided to do a step by step translation.

I just want you guys to know that you guys are welcome to ask for me to translate something for you or teach you something either in the comments or through private chat. I will also accept requests to do a step by step translation of music similar to what I did to the quote in this chapter.
