'I'll pick what I want to eat

So I'll pay for the meal too

I'm not your average girl, so you'll be more attracted to me

It might be too much but who cares

Isn't this cute?'

 

 

Rough trans of post :

so 'we like' was originally gonna be named sangyeoja

but that's not the issue

the lyrics were written by sungyeon and roa(?)

and it says she'll pay for the dinner

and talks about how it's not common for girls to do that

 

tldr :

 

the lyrics are saying that it's unusual for girls to pay for meals on a date + therefore the guy will be more attracted to her bc unlike the avg girl who doesn't pay for meals on a date she will.

and people are mad at that

Comments are like 'wtf/lyrics should be changed/they should be careful cause it's a sensitive topic these days/they're idols and a model to youth etc so they gotta be careful/I cant shield this bc a member wrote the lyrics themselves/company should give some feedback'

 

Also stream their MV kek

i don't see the problem with that

 

 

Those lyrics are fine to me.

 

 

god forbid women want to be independent !!11!

 

 

Maybe it sounds worse in Korean because I don't see the issue

The issue is that it's portraying that korean girls on average ( or girls in general) don't pay for their own meals...on dates

and idk i guess these netizens feel that being an independent woman/ self sufficient is not common according to Pristin's verse...

so i can see the controversy there a little but...

 

I love this song and i don't think it needs to be changed it's just a bit.. hmm

 

====

 

the lyric is not about a girl paying for her own meal

it clearly talks about she'll pick the food and the GUY will pay because she's just that pretty and he's just that attracted to her..

just watch the video at :50 seconds it says nothing about the girl paying... how misleading

 

 

that video you posted has the wrong lyrics at 0:50 seconds according to other sources

so the original point remains

SENSITIVE TOPIC , like seriously????   isn't that good that they're talking about paying for themselves when in Korea that's NOT NORMAL.

 

Korea really needs to understand that they're a conservative country first ( in the wrong way) to change. Not pretend that 

"OMG what's she talking about . all korean women do that"

So they are saying that the lyrics are implying that most girls are not independent and don't pay their own meals, unlike them?

 

tbh I don't see the issue, even if it's meant that way. That's their own point of view, one that is not entirely untrue seeing as a lot of girls do expect guys to pay the bill. It's so weird to me since back in my day we'd hear lyrics like this and girls would relate to it like "Yeah that's right, we girl's don't need no body to pay for us!", not feel offended by it.

 

lord It's not that serious, some people are too sensitive.
