The phrase "그대 변치마오" (geudae byeonchimao) is a Korean phrase that translates to "Darling, Please Don't Change" or "Don't change, my love".

Here's a breakdown of the phrase and some of its uses:

• 그대 (geudae): This word means "you" but is a more poetic or literary form, often used in songs, poems, or formal settings. It can also refer to a lover or someone dear.
• 변치 (byeonchi): This part comes from the verb "변하다" (byeonhada), which means "to change." "변치" is a form of this verb indicating a negative command or request.
• 마오 (mao): This is an ending used in older Korean or in formal/literary contexts to make a negative command (like "do not...").
