BOYNEXTDOOR [HOME: DELUXE] Special Report: The Animals

What happened

BOYNEXTDOOR’s special report sets its story at an anthrozoology research center in Gyeonggi Province, where Dr. Yoon Kyung-ho investigates people who identify as animals rather than humans.

In the Korean comments

One comment reads, in translation, “I expected animals like cheetahs or gorillas, so I was surprised they were things like ants and llamas. Serving the teaser as a documentary makes me even more excited for ‘Animals.’” The unexpected species are a specific detail to watch for as the report introduces the members.

What the words mean

존똑 (jonttok, “uncannily identical”) is clipped from 존나 똑같다 (jonna ttokgatda, “damn identical”). Here, the commenter means that each animal matches its member’s characteristics remarkably well; it is highly casual, exaggerated slang with a coarse edge.
