Abstract
This study examines the cross-linguistic reception of Eaj's (Park Jae-hyung) personality and life experiences as represented in the lyrics of his EP When the Rain Stopped Following Me. Using a descriptive qualitative research design and Appraisal Theory within Systemic Functional Linguistics, this study analyzes responses from 135 respondents across three linguistic groups Indonesian, English-speaking, and Korean collected through online questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with eleven selected participants. The research addresses how fans interpret Eaj's personality and life experiences in the EP's lyrics, and how these interpretations vary across the three linguistic groups. The findings reveal that fans across all groups consistently interpret Eaj as an authentic, vulnerable, and resilient artist, with this shared interpretation manifesting through the Appraisal categories of Affect, Judgment, and Appreciation. Although interpretative strategies varied by linguistic and cultural background, respondents ultimately arrived at similar understandings, indicating that cross-linguistic differences primarily shaped the interpretative process rather than the overall meaning constructed.

Penelitian ini mengkaji resepsi lintas bahasa terhadap kepribadian dan pengalaman hidup Eaj (Park Jae-hyung) sebagaimana direpresentasikan dalam lirik EP When the Rain Stopped Following Me. Dengan menggunakan desain penelitian deskriptif kualitatif dan Teori Appraisal dalam kerangka Linguistik Sistemik Fungsional, penelitian ini menganalisis respons dari 135 responden yang berasal dari tiga kelompok Bahasa Indonesia, Inggris, dan Korea yang dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner daring serta wawancara semi-terstruktur lanjutan dengan sebelas partisipan terpilih. Penelitian ini berupaya menjawab bagaimana penggemar memaknai kepribadian dan pengalaman hidup Eaj dalam lirik EP tersebut, serta bagaimana pemaknaan tersebut bervariasi di antara ketiga kelompok bahasa. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penggemar dari seluruh kelompok bahasa secara konsisten memaknai Eaj sebagai sosok artis yang autentik, rentan, sekaligus tangguh, dengan pemaknaan bersama ini termanifestasi melalui kategori Appraisal berupa Affect, Judgment, dan Appreciation. Meskipun strategi interpretatif bervariasi sesuai latar belakang bahasa dan budaya masing-masing, responden pada akhirnya sampai pada pemahaman yang serupa, yang menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan lintas bahasa terutama memengaruhi proses interpretasi, bukan makna keseluruhan yang dikonstruksi.
