🎶 Learn Korean: Breaking Down the Korean Lyrics: “정상인 척 다들 척 좀 빼”

The phrase “정상인 척 다들 척 좀 빼” from Stray Kids’ hit song MANIAC is packed with slang, nuances, and strong expressions! Let’s break it down and learn how to use it like a native Korean speaker.

1️⃣ Vocabulary & Grammar Explanation

• 정상인 (jeongsang-in) → “Normal person”
• 척 (cheok) → “Pretend” (often used in casual speech)
• 다들 (dadeul) → “Everyone”
• 척 좀 빼 (cheok jom bbae) → “Stop pretending”

🔹 Literal Meaning: “Everyone, stop pretending to be normal.”
🔹 Colloquial Meaning: “Stop acting like you’re normal when you’re not!” (Implying that everyone is a little “crazy” or “different” in some way.)

This line carries a rebellious, confident tone, telling people to drop their masks and stop pretending to be something they are not.

🎤 [K-Pop Academy] Pronunciation Tips for Auditioning Trainees

If you’re a K-Pop audition hopeful, mastering pronunciation is key! Here’s how to perfect this line:

✅ “정상인 척” (jeongsang-in cheok)

• Tip: The “인” (in) should be pronounced softly, and “척” should have a sharp “ch” sound.

✅ “다들 척 좀 빼” (dadeul cheok jom bbae)

• Tip: “다들” (dadeul) should be pronounced as “dad-eul”, not “da-deul.”
• “빼” (bbae) should be strong and emphasized, as it expresses frustration or command.
