[English]

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

I'm the one, I'm your idol, your constant likes

You're like a loyal fan (fan, fan, fan, fan)

Staring at me with a fan account, I want honesty

Don't keep me locked up, I'm a treasure box

I'm irreplaceable, more valuable than Prada (ooh)

That crowded neighborhood, why are you wandering around there again? (Ooh)

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who? Who?

It's me

It's me

It's me

Me, me

It's me

...

Hey, just say I'm your favorite

I said, "You're hilarious," oh, my, my, my, my

Just standing by and watching, like a tortilla, why? Why? Why? Why?

This young love isn't a joke, it can't, can't, can't, can't

Feeling frustrated, post me on your Instagram

On the sphere's big screen, a couple's initials are displayed (ooh)

Put it up on our school's bulletin board as a headline (ooh)

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who? Who?

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

It's me

It's me

Me

Me, me

It's me

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias (it's me)

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

It's me

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

Who's your bias? I'm your bias (it's me)

Who's your bias? I'm your bias

...

너는 마치 loyal fan (fan, fan, fan, fan)

훔쳐봐 with fan account, 나는 원해 솔직함

Prada보다 비싼 대체불가 나인데 (ooh)

번잡한 옆 동네, 넌 왜 거길 또 헤매? (Ooh)

Key Grammar Structures

• Who's your bias? I'm your bias

  ➔ The sentence uses the contraction "who's" instead of "who is" and the present simple "I'm" to state a fact about identity.

• I'm the one, I'm your idol, 꾸준한 네 좋아요

  ➔ Parallel structure with repeated subject and verb; present simple; Korean adjective phrase ending with -요

  ➔ The sentence repeats "I'm" to create a parallel structure, uses the present simple for self‑identification, and ends the Korean clause "꾸준한 네 좋아요" with the polite ending "-요".

• 너는 마치 loyal fan (fan, fan, fan, fan)

  ➔ "마치 ..." as a simile meaning "as if/like"; noun phrase with English loanword

  ➔ The Korean phrase "마치" introduces a simile: "너는 마치 loyal fan" means "you are *like* a loyal fan".

• 날 가두지 마, 보석함

  ➔ Imperative negative form with '-지 마' meaning "don't"

  ➔ The clause "날 가두지 마" uses the negative imperative suffix "-지 마" to mean "don't lock me up".

• Prada보다 비싼 대체불가 나인데 (ooh)

  ➔ Comparative structure using "보다" meaning "than"; adjective phrase "비싼" (expensive)

  ➔ The phrase "Prada보다 비싼" translates to "more expensive than Prada," where "보다" marks the standard of comparison.

• 번잡한 옆 동네, 널 왜 거길 또 헤매?

  ➔ Question word "왜" (why) with verb "헤매다"; informal ending "?"; use of "또" (again) for emphasis

  ➔ The line asks "왜?" (why) and adds "또" (again) to stress that the person keeps wandering: "왜 거길 또 헤매?" = "Why are you wandering there again?"

• Hey, just say I'm your fave

  ➔ Imperative with polite softener "just"; contraction "I'm"; informal address "Hey"

  ➔ "Hey" grabs attention, "just" softens the command, and "say" is an imperative verb: "just say I'm your fave" = politely ask someone to state that you are their favorite.

• 수수방관, like tortilla, why? Why? Why? Why?

  ➔ Rhetorical question repeated for emphasis; use of English simile "like tortilla"; noun phrase "수수방관" (indifference)

  ➔ The speaker repeats "why?" four times to stress frustration, and likens their indifferent attitude "수수방관" to a "tortilla" as a metaphor.

• 답답넙치, post me on your gram

  ➔ Imperative verb "post" in mix of Korean and English; colloquial abbreviation "gram" for Instagram; exclamation of feeling "답답넙치" (stifling)
