FIFTY FIFTY just dropped the MV for the B-side of their single 가위바위보 (Rock, Paper, Scissors) — the irresistibly fun “Skittlez.”

And just like the candy it’s named after, it’s a burst of color and sugar — bright, playful, and full of charm.

The chorus sounds almost like a children’s rhyme — a bold and nostalgic move in K-pop (think NMIXX’s “Young, Dumb, Stupid,” which nailed that style too).

Visually, it’s a rainbow explosion of sweetness — a visual sugar rush you can’t help but smile at 🍭

Let’s take a look at a few lines from the chorus that capture the song’s playful, teasing energy:

“네 맘에 터져 Pop, pop, pop

그 비밀스런 Riddle

궁금해 What you got, got, got”

“Bursting in your heart, pop, pop, pop

That secret riddle —

I’m curious, what you got, got, got?”

—

🍭 1️⃣ 네 맘에 터져 Pop, pop, pop – “Bursting in your heart, pop, pop, pop”

• 네 → your

• 맘 (마음) → heart, mind, feelings

• -에 → in / inside

• 터지다 → to burst, explode

💡 Language note:

네 맘에 터져 literally means “bursting inside your heart.”

The Pop, pop, pop adds an onomatopoeic sparkle — it’s both sound and emotion.

In Korean lyrics, this kind of playful rhythm mimics the way love or excitement “explodes” suddenly — cute, not destructive.

🧩 2️⃣ 그 비밀스런 Riddle – “That secret riddle”

• 그 → that

• 비밀스럽다 → to be secret / mysterious

• -ㄴ → adjective ending

• Riddle → English loanword

💡 Grammar note:

비밀스런 is a shortened form of 비밀스러운, meaning “secretive” or “mysterious.”

The mixture of Korean and English makes the phrase light and modern — the mystery of love, but make it pop.

🌟 3️⃣ 궁금해 – “I’m curious”

• 궁금하다 → to be curious / to wonder

💡 Grammar tip:

궁금해 is the informal, emotional version — used when your curiosity feels strong or playful.

It’s a common word in K-pop lyrics, often expressing both attraction and anticipation.

—

🎵 4️⃣ What you got, got, got – playful repetition

Repetition adds rhythm and cuteness — it mimics the energy of a child’s chant.

Here, it also reflects that Skittles mood — sweet, teasing, and endlessly curious.

💖 Why It Matters

“Skittlez” is a joyful reminder that K-pop doesn’t always have to be intense — sometimes, it’s pure fun.

The line “네 맘에 터져 Pop, pop, pop / 그 비밀스런 Riddle / 궁금해 What you got, got, got” sparkles with youthful energy and curiosity — the feeling of falling for someone and wanting to know everything about them.

It’s sugar-coated pop done right — sweet, colorful, and just a little bit cheeky.
