Punk and Ballet

What happened

This is a fan-style edit titled "punk and ballet (edited by stell♡)", tagged with Hearts2Hearts members JIWOO and YUHA. The captions carry a spoken or sung storyline: "He was a punk, she did ballet. What more can I say? He wanted her, she'd never tell. Secretly she wanted him as well."

Why Koreans care

The captioned lines match the opening of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8er Boi", a pop-punk song about a punk boy and a ballet girl. The title "punk and ballet" appears to take its two characters from that story. The supplied material does not say who plays which role, so the clip's casting is not covered here.

In the Korean comments

Most of these comments call the two people in the clip "밀크즈" (Milkz). One commenter uses the word to explain why the pair seems to click: "밀크즈가 SM에서 최장기 연습생이여서 뭔가 둘이 쿵짝이 젤루 잘 맞는 느낌은 나만 그런가...?" (Milkz, affectionate nickname for a pair) (kkal, chemistry between people) In translation: "Milkz were SM's longest-serving trainees, so I get the feeling the two of them click best. Is it just me?" That is the commenter's own claim, and the supplied material does not verify it. Another comment addresses the editor by name: "계속 가줘, 스텔라. 하츠투하츠 로맨틱 스킷 너무 좋아." (hatseu-tu-hatseu, Hearts2Hearts skit) In translation: "Keep going, Stella. I love Hearts2Hearts romantic skits." The same comment says it is "별것도 아닌데 왜 이렇게 웃기고 만족스럽냐" (in translation, "it's nothing much, so why is it this funny and satisfying"). The comment treats the clip as a skit rather than a performance. Other commenters attach the laughter to specific reactions. One writes that the phone shook along with their laughter: "핸드폰 같이 떨림ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ" (hwan-deu-pon, cellphone). Another says of the music, "음악 너무 밀크마냥 낭만적인데" (in translation, "the music is so romantic, just like Milk"). One commenter says "지우는 발레를 정말 잘해요" (in translation, "Jiwoo is really good at ballet"). That is a claim about Jiwoo, not something the supplied material confirms.

What the words mean

"밀크즈" (Milkz) is the word to know. It literally reads as "milk" plus an English-style plural "-z". In these comments it works as an affectionate nickname for the pair, and one commenter's "둘이" (the two of them) supports that. Another comment adds a milk emoji in place of the word. The supplied material does not explain where the name comes from, so I won't guess. Two intensifiers appear as well. "개귀여워" (gae-gwiyeowo) literally puts "dog" in front of "cute". It is casual slang meaning "extremely cute". "아 ㅁㅊ" (ah, exclamation of delight) is a shortened form of 미친 (michin, "crazy"). Here it is an exclamation of delight, not an insult, and it is very informal.
