  2. Hi 안디!

    뭐라 해도 could be loosely translated as "(even if someone) says something (against me/you)"

    For example,

    그 누가 뭐라 해도 나는 포기 하지 않을 거다 = I will not give up even if someone says something (against me).

    I thought this song of Park Bom's had some nice lyrics to transcribe~

    :)
