The rapper wrote his own verse for the track, which includes lines like “Why aren’t you girls different anymore?” and references to “munchkins” and “conqueror’s haki” (presumably a One Piece reference).

Korean netizens weren’t impressed. Many have called the lyrics dated, cringeworthy, and flat-out confusing.
여태 본 케이팝 가사 중에서 제일 ㅈ구림
저 무슨뜻인지 이해도 못하겟는 한글 한단어 영어 한단어 벌갈아 넣는
ㅈ같은 감성 언제 사라지냐
의미 ㅈ도 없는데 걍 가사를 쳐쓰지말자 https://t.co/Cs1y862GTI

The worst K-pop lyrics I’ve ever seen. I can’t even understand what they’re trying to say. When is that crap style of alternating one Korean word, one English word going to die out? It’s completely meaningless. Just don’t bother writing lyrics at all.

Being out of touch with the times is so embarrassing. It’s 2026, not 2016.
