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.

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.

The lyrics reek of something outdated.
