A fast Korean folk-and-K-pop fusion around 160 BPM, driven by samul nori pungmul percussion — kkwaenggwari and jing gongs, janggu and buk drums — over 808s and bright synth bass, sung by a husky trot-inflected female lead and matching male lead trading verses in heavy Konglish-accented English into shouted gang-vocal choruses.
