동갑내기 (96ers) (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro: HOSHI, WOOZI, Both]
When us two team up, it’s HOWOO, look out
When we first met, runny-nosed kids in middle school (Ninety-six)
HOSHI, baby (Uh, huh)
WOOZI, baby
All I wanna do baby, you know?
Baby, just like this

[Verse 1: WOOZI]
An A-student on stage
I’m spreading my typing
Mon, Thu, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun
Packed with melodies

[Refrain: HOSHI, WOOZI]
Chiefs amongs the sonogong
Born in ninety-six, we’re next after the dragon bros
No need to swear even if you’re jealous
Just do it like us now, just like this

[Pre-Chorus: WOOZI, Both]
Just like this
Just like this
Just like this
Just do it like us now, the age’s the same

[Chorus: Both]
Chiki-chiki, boom
Pull up, pull up, pull up, gotcha
Chiki-chiki, boom
Pull up, pull up, pull up, gotcha
Chiefs amongs the sonogong
Born in ninety-six, we’re next after the dragon bros
No need to swear, even if you’re jealous
Just do it like us now, just like this

[Verse 2: HOSHI, WOOZI]
Gaze of the tiger, baby, I’m worth it
Don’t stop me even if I’m overdoing it, Jihoon
The newbies of OGs have become the OGs
The plane goes higher and higher, it’s HOSHI and WOOZI
When us two team up, it’s HOWOO, look out
When we first met, runny-nosed kids in middle school
We make money, but we never business
The harmony’s nice, baby, just like this

[Refrain: HOSHI, WOOZI]
Chiefs amongs the sonogong
Born in ninety-six, we’re next after the dragon bros
No need to swear even if you’re jealous
Just do it like us now, just like this

[Pre-Chorus: WOOZI, Both]
Just like this
Just like this
Just like this
Just do it like us now, the age’s the same

[Chorus: Both]
Chiki-chiki, boom
Pull up, pull up, pull up, gotcha
Chiki-chiki, boom
Pull up, pull up, pull up, gotcha
Chiefs amongs the sonogong
Born in ninety-six, we’re next after the dragon bros
No need to swear, even if you’re jealous
Just do it like us now, just like this

[Bridge: WOOZI, HOSHI, Both]
Wait a minute, HOWOO’s here (Woah)
We’re soaking you from head to toe (Woah)
Shake it up, mess up everything (Woah)
Here we go, here we go, here we go
Brothers and sisters (Woah)
Let the dance control all of our bodies (Woah)
Everybody, stick real close (Woah)
Here we go, here we go, here we go

[Chorus: HOSHI, WOOZI, Both]
Raise the toast at the party (Cheers) salute (-lute), you can be like me (Oh)
Raise the toast at the party (Cheers) salute (-lute), you can be like me (Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up)
When we get on stage, we’re becoming insane characters
Let’s switch the things up and go wild
Nerdy boys, pretty boys, that’s all true
Just do it like us now, just like this (Yes, sir)

[Outro: WOOZI, HOSHI, Both]
Just like this (Uh-huh, come on)
Just like this (Yeah, baby, it’s HOWOO, look out)
Just do it like us now, the age’s the same

동갑내기 (96ers) Meaning

[Intro: HOSHI, WOOZI, Both]
The song kicks off with a playful and confident introduction, as HOSHI and WOOZI establish their bond as ’96-born artists. They reminisce about their early days, humorously referencing their childhood innocence. The repeated callout of their names emphasizes their self-assurance and sets the tone for the song’s celebratory energy.

[Verse 1: WOOZI]
WOOZI highlights his dedication to music, portraying himself as someone fully immersed in his craft. The reference to his relentless schedule suggests that his life revolves around melodies and creation. The verse captures his hardworking nature and passion, reinforcing the theme of persistence in artistry.

[Refrain: HOSHI, WOOZI]
This section introduces a metaphor comparing themselves to Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), symbolizing leadership and strength. They acknowledge their generational placement after the ‘Dragon-born’ seniors, implying their emergence as the next dominant figures. The line about jealousy suggests that while others may envy them, their approach is to rise above negativity and focus on their success.

[Pre-Chorus: WOOZI, Both]
The repetition of “Just like this” reinforces their mantra—encouraging others to follow their path with confidence. The phrase “동갑내기” (same-age friends) emphasizes their bond as peers who have grown together in the industry. This line carries a deeper sentiment, celebrating their shared experiences and achievements.

[Chorus: Both]
With a powerful and catchy rhythm, the chorus embodies their confidence and success. The onomatopoeic “치키치키, boom” adds an explosive energy, while “Pull up, pull up, pull up, gotcha” suggests a commanding presence. They reaffirm their position as leaders, reminding listeners that their journey was built on passion and perseverance.

[Verse 2: HOSHI, WOOZI]
HOSHI’s verse further amplifies their self-assurance, referring to his “tiger gaze” and playful over-the-top energy. The mention of OGs and their transition from newcomers to veterans highlights their growth in the industry. The nostalgic callback to their first meeting reinforces the authenticity of their bond, while the phrase “we never business” suggests that despite success, their friendship remains genuine.

[Refrain: HOSHI, WOOZI]
This refrain repeats with a slightly different placement, emphasizing their dominance and refusal to be brought down by envy. By urging others to follow their example, they reinforce the song’s inspirational undertone.

[Pre-Chorus: WOOZI, Both]
Again, the “Just like this” mantra returns, solidifying their message of self-confidence and persistence. The call to “동갑내기” (same-age peers) is both an inside reference and an invitation for listeners to embrace their unique journey with the same determination.

[Chorus: Both]
The repetition of the explosive chorus maintains the song’s high energy. The added line “Pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up, pull up” amplifies their larger-than-life presence, almost as if calling for recognition.

[Bridge: WOOZI, HOSHI, Both]
Here, the mood shifts slightly, with a focus on celebration and unity. The “호우” (ho-woo) pun plays on their names while mimicking the sound of heavy rain, symbolizing an overwhelming presence. The invitation for “brothers and sisters” to dance suggests a communal experience, reinforcing the inclusive energy of the song.

[Chorus: HOSHI, WOOZI, Both]
In this final chorus variation, they introduce a toast (“잔에 건배”), symbolizing victory and success. The playful contrast between their nerdy and pretty sides highlights their multifaceted personalities. By closing with “just like this,” they leave the listener with a final burst of energy and self-assurance.

[Outro: WOOZI, HOSHI, Both]
The song ends on a high note, echoing the “just like this” mantra one last time. The reference to “호우 주의” (HoWoo warning) playfully suggests that their presence is as strong as a storm, reinforcing their lasting impact.
