And I love to hear J-Hope shouting it out in the chorus.

It's like continuing these themes of traditional Korean culture that we've heard so far.

And then as the song continues, we get to the chorus, which leans a little...

From the ka-na to the ha.

Hyejin, can you break that down for us a little bit?

It roughly translates to from A, B to Z. And then I've got a translation for the next line that's, if you want to hit my house, shoes off at the door.

Which is a really fun lyric.

And then the final lines of the chorus, So it seems like there's this kind of reclaiming of this, you know, word that often has a deeply negative association to aliens, invaders, right?

Yeah.

someone who doesn't belong, but they're reclaiming it.

They're saying, no, no, no, we're here.

We're repping our country and our traditions proudly.

And we're wearing this term alien as a badge of honor.

In RM's verse later in the song, he leans a little bit deeper into those ideas that you're just discussing.

So the translation I found for the second half of that verse, pardon me, Kim Gu, tell me how you feel.

So Kim Gu is a figure from the Korean independence movement, a freedom fighter against the Japanese when Japan was in control of the nation.

And then the last lines are, you guys with those big eyes say, are they for real?

For real.

And I think the guys with the big eyes are us.

So this track is pulling no punches.
