I’m slogging through my wall looking for a particular post. Haven’t found it yet. What I am finding is how quickly things change in a short period of time. For example, I was never really a boy/girl-band K-pop fan. That changed recently. I found this post that taked about The Great Seducer‘s reference to Baepsae and how the BTS song “Silver Spoon (Baepsae)” explained it. I completely forgot about this song. I’m glad I found it again.

    I was wondering who could’ve mentioned.. and shouldn’t have wondered. 🙂 I love this song. And of course, I’m biased. But it is quite good and smart.

        Mooost likely. Min Yoongi’s on the thumbnail, so she’ll see it.

        😅😅😅 I remember the Baepsae reference. 😅😅

        Another song with great “Korean – reference ” lyrics is Dope. The song begins with a boast about how hard BTS have worked to get to where they are, and that they’ve sacrificed their youth for success. And then RM mentions the “sampo, ohpo, yookpo generations”. To copy from Billboard:

        “In Korean, “sam,” “oh,” and “yook” are the numbers three, five, and six, and he is referring to a popular expression that references what people have to give up in the face of economic difficulties and societal ills: Those who are considered part of the “sampo generation” gave up on having romantic relationships, marriage, and children, the young “ohpo” gen isn’t able to achieve the first three along with not being able to find proper employment or own their own homes, and the younger “yookpo” generation encompasses forgoing those previous desires as well as giving up on general relationships and social life. ”

        It’s a play on the crazy work culture we see in dramas. RM asks of the media and powers that be, “why are you condemning us before we can even try?” Even as Suga declares them the “Enemy”.

        Okay done. *slinks back into cave* *is still a massive fan ^^ * *has snuck in a relevant to the topic rec*
