Today BIGBANG’s Daesung does the unexpected — or maybe the too-expected if you know his humor — and releases his new solo track “한도초과 (Hando Chogua)”, literally meaning “over the limit” (like maxing out a credit card).
I was not prepared. The song, the concept, the MV… Daesung goes full TROT MODE, and shockingly? It fits him perfectly.
And who shows up as the co-star in this gloriously cringy, over-the-top video? TWICE’s Sana. This collab is the crossover no one asked for, but we all needed.
Let’s look at these lines from the trot-style chorus — dramatic, comedic, emotional, and exaggerated in the best way:
“내 맘은 한도 초과야
걱정은 내일 하고 긁어주세요
사랑은 한도 초과야”
“My heart is over the limit,
put the worries off until tomorrow — please swipe it.
My love is over the limit.”

💳 내 맘은 한도 초과야 – “My heart is over the limit”
• 내 맘 → my heart
• 한도 → limit
• 초과 → exceed
• -야 → informal “is”
💡 Trot-style meaning:
Drama! Exaggeration! Emotion! He’s saying: “My heart can’t contain this love — it’s overflowing!”
Pure trot energy.

🔥 걱정은 내일 하고 긁어주세요 – “Worry tomorrow — please swipe it”
• 걱정 → worry
• 내일 → tomorrow
• -하고 → and then
• 긁어주세요 → “please swipe (the card)”
💡 Double meaning: Literally: “Just swipe it, we’ll worry about the bill later.” Emotionally: “Let’s love recklessly. Let’s live in this moment.”
Humor + metaphor = classic trot.

💘 사랑은 한도 초과야 – “Love is over the limit”
• 사랑 → love
• 한도 초과 → over-limit
💡 Interpretation:
The chorus loops back to the main joke/emotion: his love has maxed out the cosmic credit card. (Sorry, universe — no spending limit high enough.)

✨ Why This Song Works So Well
Trot is theatrical, emotional, humorous, and a bit ridiculous — and Daesung leans into every single one of those qualities.
With his powerful vocals, comedic timing, and fearless charm, he turns what could have been pure parody into something weirdly addictive and ridiculously fun.
These lines — “내 맘은 한도 초과야 / 걱정은 내일 하고 긁어주세요 / 사랑은 한도 초과야” — capture the essence of trot:
💥 Over-the-top emotion
💥 Love as financial ruin
💥 Drama like a soap opera
💥 Humor hidden in sincerity
And Daesung pulls it off like only Daesung can.
