This song was easily one of my favourites of 2019 and tbh is one of the best kpop songs of the decade. The title is a play on the Korean word 응 which is pronounced 'eung'. A % symbol looks similar to 응 when slanted. Eung is just a sound of affirmation, essentially just another word for 'yes'. So Eung Eung is the name of the song! It was produced by Black Eyed Pilseung, the team behind many, many hits, including a fair few of Twice's classics. In Korean, if ㅇproceeds the other characters in a letter it indicates an absence of sound and is therefore silent, but if it follows other characters it is the 'ng' sound (like -ing, without the i). Since ㅡ is a sound of 'eu', 응 is 'eung'. All Korean letters must have both a vowel and a consonant, hence the common use of ㅇproceeding individual vowel sounds rather than the vowels existing alone. Such as 아이유 = IU, when it is just a+i+yu = aiyu. Aside from the Korean lesson, I think Apink are the second oldest still active girl group behind Brown Eyed Girls. They debuted in 2011, and I love that in 2018 they started to reinvent their sound in this direction. I can't wait to see what they do next.
I wouldn’t call BEG active since they just had their first comeback in years but it’s sad to think that Apink is one of the only old girl groups that still comebacks regularly. AOA as well.
@@ubiquitous_star584 Well, insofar in that they have released a remake album, have an upcoming comeback and are doing performances! But yes, not quite the same.
Yes!!! This was my first song I listened to by APink, “I’m so sick” slaps too. We definitely need to get them to 100k “uhm mmm mmmm” 😂👏🏾 Please react to DPR Live - Know Me FT DEAN Official MV 🔥
Apink debuted in 2011, so they are one of the last few remaining Gen2 kpop girlgroups who are still active. Their 2014 song, LUV, remains the song with the most music show wins (17) for a female group.
I slept on this song when it first came out and revisited it when "Fancy" came out since both songs were written by Black Eyed Pilseung. I hope this duo got a raise in 2019 because they put out some 🔥
the title "eung eung" refers to the korean phrase 응응 which means "yes/yeah" but in a very casual way. 응 also looks like the % symbol, so they cleverly use it like this!
imani mone’ I was gonna say it’s like a noise or a lazy way of saying “uh” which is saying yeah vs yes. Then you take that to the next casual lazy where you don’t open the throat or mouth and it sounds like “ng”.
Love Apink....started liking them because of SHINee...specially from the tv wedding show "we got married" that paired up SHINEE's Taemin with Apink''s Naeun...so cute❣🥂
응응 (eung eung) is Korean for yes but it's used in nonchalant way for example "Do you want to get burgers or pizza" "yeah whatever" it is usually used by younger generations. Older generations thinks it's disrespectful
I love this song so much!! The past 2 comebacks from Apink have been a newer concept for them. The percent sign looks like a Korean word “eung” that means “yes” I believe. And it is the sound at the end of the song!
i adore this song, it's like the audio equivalent of eating fizzy pink lemonade candy and it's definitely one of my favorites of the year. idk if you did but you should check out pentagon's japanese release happiness!! it's not at all similar except having a cool retro sound but i think y'all might like it~!
Eung eung means its a cool way to say yes yes in Korea. In that factory they produce their perfect kind of guy. Like ears for the guy to listen to them , eyes to look for them only....
It's more about it being one of the best songs of the year. Apink is an established act in Korea and are super popular and well known by Koreans not just international stans (even if they haven't been very active in the past few years).
Truthfully, while I like the color grading of the MV, I dont think the video itself is anything special. Its good, not M/V of the year tho. I think they storyline about creating basically the "perfect man" (also a fucking fantastic song by Shinhwa, BTS has covered that before for good reason. Would be a cool throwback for yall to do.) is interesting, but we've had some ridiculous videos this year like Focus On Me, Eclipse, Superhuman, Why - ONF, etc. Idk if %% fits the bill. THE SONG, however, is easily one of my favorites on the year. That was a great opening two weeks with iKON - I'm Ok, Chungha - Gotta Go, and %%. I absolutely fell in love with this when it came out, and it really convinced me I might have been missing out on Apink. They're the real deal man. I'm So Sick is another banger in this style, but they've been really good since debut in 2011. Mr. Chu, NoNoNo and LUV are all a little cuter style, but they're great songs and the first two are considered undeniable kpop hits. Also, %% is a styled way of putting 응응 (eung eung), basically "uh huh" or "yeah".
I hope you guys give us a schedule of what you're gonna react to coz it seems so random at times, like set a retro friday or new release monday type thing. 😁✌ Not hating though.
