Oh, this is fun? #TXT

What happened

TXT posted a short-form clip built around Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe,” pairing the familiar lyric with an intentionally odd comedic setup.

Why Koreans care

“미인정 지각” is an official Korean school-attendance category meaning an unexcused tardy. One commenter says this song was their school’s arrival bell: students who failed to enter before it ended were marked late, turning a cheerful pop song into a stressful countdown.

In the Korean comments

Majority: Two of the three commenters treat the clip’s strangeness as the joke itself. “They’re doing something weird again, hahaha,” and “How did you even think of filming such a crazy Short with this crazy combination...?” read as amused, affectionate reactions rather than criticism. Minority: One commenter focuses on an intensely personal school association: “...This was the bell when I went to school, so it gives me PTSD... If I didn’t make it in before this ended, it counted as an unexcused tardy...” The song triggers memories of racing against the attendance deadline.

What the words mean

Korean fandom comments often use “weird” and “crazy” as affectionate praise for unexpectedly chaotic content; the repeated laughter marks “They’re doing something weird again” as delighted teasing. “PTSD” is also being used colloquially and hyperbolically here for a stressful school memory, not as a clinical diagnosis.
