Brave Girls' new song "Chi Mat Ba Ram" is a negative slang phrase? "Divided Opinion to its English Lyrics Interpretation

Brave Girls' new song "Chi Mat Ba Ram" is in full swing among netizens due to English lyrics reminiscent of abusive language. On the Korean community site, Theqoo, some internet users posted their own interpretations of the lyrics, raising opinions.

The controversial lyrics of the song is the part sung by Yujeong, saying, "내숭 따위는 Get nah Joy Babe." Reading the lyrics as it is, it sounds like, "Give me joy." But listening to the song quickly, it sounds like, "내숭 따위는 개나줘 (give me a dog.)" What caused the ruckus is the Korean word for dog is also slang for "b*tch."

In particular, "Get nat Joy" does not have much meaning in English, and the previous lyrics do not have much flow, so netizens interpret it as an English lyric that translates "Give me a dog (b*tch)."

As a response, some netizens commented, "If it were my idol, I would hate to listen to that part." and "I couldn't hear it because the song was so good, but I was wondering what they were talking about. Give me a dog, hahahaha"

Other internet users also conveyed their reactions, saying, "Oh, I'm curious about this." and "I think it's a harsher word of dog." International fans; however, defended the quartet, and explained that "Get nah Joy," maybe an English slang for, "Get no joy."
