What is the role of letters in the era of KakaoTalk? I think it lies in the deliberation. Of course, you can worry over a KakaoTalk message as much as over a letter. However, the process of writing down each letter takes longer, and since it is difficult to edit, I try to use better expressions. So writing a letter is an act of communication that requires more resources than other means. If you couldn’t send the letter you invested so many resources into, it likely carries a story of its own. Like “Unsent Letter” by pac odd and 4BOUT.
“Unsent Letter” is a song about feelings after a breakup. This is an impressive song with 4BOUT’s sorrowful voice following the nostalgic intro. It’s as if the emotions right after a breakup are portrayed through sound. The lyrics reveal the differences between two people who had different ways of loving. Isn’t the reason we’re still together with the unsent letter because we want to believe that that person’s love is real?
