If I'm to say; speaking of

A set-up phrase meaning 'if I'm to put it this way', used before you explain, classify or judge something. In these lines it sits on a verb of speaking almost every time: if I may tell you, if I'm to spill the behind-the-scenes, when it comes to the Kwang Soo everyone worries about. 말하자면 on its own works as 'so to speak'. It buys you a beat and softens the point you are about to make.
