Xdinary Heroes 'Obsessed with Youth' M/V

Why Koreans care

The lyric 방황 아닌 발화 (banghwang anin balhwa, “not wandering, but ignition”) pivots between two similar-sounding words. What appeared to be aimless wandering is renamed as something catching fire or bursting into expression, sharpening the song’s reassessment of reckless youth.

In the Korean comments

One comment reads, in translation, “Keep singing about youth in the way only Xdinary Heroes can. That alone is enough for me. That is my youth.” The comment makes the song’s subject personal: the group is not merely depicting youth but becoming part of how this listener defines their own.

What the words mean

개좋음 (gaejoeum) literally begins with the word for “dog,” but 개 (gae, emphatic slang prefix meaning "damn" or "freaking")- (gae-, an emphatic slang prefix) is doing the work of “damn” or “freaking” here. In the comment describing the video as something that can only be called 개좋음 (gaejoeum, “freaking great”), it is highly casual, exaggerated praise rather than a reference to dogs.
