[Refrain: Hoshi, Woozi]
손오공 중에 우두머리죠
96 하면 용띠 형들 다음 우리죠
질투 나도 욕은 하지 말아 줘
우리처럼 해 봐요 Just like this
Sonogong junge udumeorijo
96 hamyeon yongtti hyeongdeul daeum urijo
Jiltu nado yogeun haji mara jwo
Uricheoreom hae bwayo Just like this
Among the Sun Wukongs, we’re the leaders
If you say ‘96, after the dragon year hyungs, it’s us
Even if you're jealous, don’t curse us
Try it like us, just like this
[Pre-Chorus: Hoshi, Woozi]
Just like this
Just like this
Just like this
우리처럼 해 봐요 동갑내기
Just like this
Just like this
Just like this
Uricheoreom hae bwayo donggapnaegi
Just like this
Just like this
Just like this
Try it like us, same-age friends
💡 Let's break down HOSHI ⤬ WOOZI's line together!
👉 "우리처럼 해봐요 동갑내기"
(uri cheo-reom hae-bwa-yo dong-gap nae-gi)
= Try doing it like us, same-age friends!
- 우리처럼 (uri cheo-reom) = Like us, the way we do
- 해봐요 (hae-bwa-yo) = Try doing it (polite suggestion)
- 동갑내기 (dong-gap nae-gi) = Someone of the same age 👭
🗣️ Real-life Example:
If you find out that you and someone else were born in the same year, you can say:
👉 "우리 동갑이에요."
(uri dong-gap i-e-yo.)
= We are the same age.
✔️ Cultural Background about Age
In Korean culture, age determines how you speak to others. If someone is older, you must use 존댓말 (formal speech), but if you're 동갑 (same age), you can speak 반말 (casual speech)! 🎉
🔹 동갑 친구 (same-age friends) = No need for honorifics → Instant closeness! 😊
🔹 Koreans often ask "몇 년생이에요?" (What year were you born?) to see if they can speak casually. Hoshi & Woozi are both 96ers, so they’re 동갑내기!
Finding a 동갑 friend means dropping formalities and bonding more easily! 💖
[Chorus: Hoshi, Woozi]

손오공 중에 우두머리죠
96 하면 용띠 형들 다음 우리죠
질투 나도 욕은 하지 말아 줘
우리처럼 해 봐요 Just like this
Sonogong junge udumeorijo
96 hamyeon yongtti hyeongdeul daeum urijo
Jiltu nado yogeun haji mara jwo
Uricheoreom hae bwayo Just like this
Among the Sun Wukongs, we’re the leaders
If you say ‘96, after the dragon year hyungs, it’s us
Even if you're jealous, don’t curse us
Try it like us, just like this
💡 Let's break down HOSHI ⤬ WOOZI's line together!
👉 "손오공 중에 우두머리죠"
(son-o-gong jung-e udu-meroi-jo)
= Among the Sun Wukongs, we’re the leaders
- 손오공 (Son-o-gong) = Son Goku (Sun Wukong), the Monkey King
- 중에 (jung-e) = Among, out of
- 우두머리 (u-du-meo-ri) = Leader, boss, head
- -죠 (-jyo) = Polite sentence ending (adds nuance like "you know" or "isn't it?")
🗣️ Real-life Example:
The word "우두머리 (u-du-meo-ri)" isn't commonly used in everyday Korean. It's typically reserved for absolute leaders of powerful groups, such as:
🔹 A mafia boss → "마피아의 우두머리" (The head of the mafia)
🔹 A revolutionary leader → "독립운동의 우두머리" (The leader of the independence movement)
So instead of "우두머리," Koreans usually say "리더 (leader)," or "대표 (representative)" in daily life. 😊
[Verse 2: Hoshi, Woozi]
