Upon my initial discovery of this artist, I could tell right off the bat that she was not conventional K-pop. She projected a mature style, flouting K-pop conventions of youthful vocals, modest fashion, and light subject matter. She deviates to a style that’s dark, cynical, and provocative instead, and I appreciate her for pursuing her own artistic vision in an industry where that’s difficult. This song is about selling your soul, working your heart away in the pursuit of material wealth. It describes the rationalization people create that keeps them on the grind. I doubt that the pun in the ending line of the chorus, where the repeated Korean word “manhi” (meaning “a lot”) sounds suspiciously like the English word “money,” the topic of the song, is unintentional.
Note: This is the official music video, which has HD and English subtitles!
