“A Universal Song” (보편적인 노래) or “Bopyeonjeog-in Nolae” is a song from Korean band “Broccoli, You Too?” (브로콜리 너마저 / Beulokolli Neomajeo). The song is the title song for the first studio album (LP) of the same name from the band.
The song is featured in tvN’s Monday and Tuesday drama series Flower Boy Ramyun Shop as the song of Yang Eun Bi (played by Lee Chung Ah) and her ex-boyfriend played. In fact, the episode title of episode 8 of the drama is “A Universal Song” itself. The song is significant for full appreciation of the episode. In the episode, Eun Bi is described by her ex-boyfriend to be “universal,” in that she is well liked by everyone, and can wear (universally) like everyone else, but then Eun Bi is unique (not universal) to him.

A Universal Song (보편적인 노래) Lyric English Translation
I want to give you a universal song
A song so general that it is obvious
Even if they randomly hear this song
People pass through unnoticed, just like that
Trivial feelings of back then
Wouldn’t even be remembered
* Thinking like this is too sad
Even if it’s not true, I still want to believe it
** After listening to this song
Would I be able to remember those feelings a little
Chorus: Be a universal song
Be universal days
Be universal matters
Can’t remember the time, the place or the feelings we shared
Universal song of love
Universal song of parting
I can clearly remember
That time, that time of that time
Repeat *, ** and Chorus
Feelings once so precious
Are now things unable to be kept
It’s okay, let’s just forget
I’m keep thinking not, but…
Repeat Chorus
