NiziU(니쥬) 'Sour Grapes' Performance Video

Why Koreans care

The refrain turns the usual “sour grapes” idea inside out: the narrator sings that they “taste so sweet to me” and says she will make both the sour and sweet parts hers. The phrase becomes a declaration of claiming what she wants, rather than dismissing something she cannot have.

In the Korean comments

The video’s production scale is itself part of the appeal for one viewer. One comment reads, in translation, “Thank you, JYP, for investing this much in making a performance video.”

What the words mean

대박나자 (daebak-naja, “let’s hit it big”) literally invokes a jackpot or enormous hit. In the comment wishing NiziU further success, it is an affectionate, exuberant way to say, “Let’s become even more successful.”
