FIFTY FIFTY are back โ pastel, playful, and full of sparkle โจ
Their new song โEeny Meeny Miny Moe,โ or in Korean โ๊ฐ์๋ฐ์๋ณดโ (Rock, Paper, Scissors), perfectly captures that fluttering moment of a new crush โ when both sides are waiting for the other to say it, and every glance feels like a secret move in a game of love.
The lyrics are lighthearted yet clever, turning childhood games into metaphors for affection and timing.
Letโs take a look at one of the most adorable moments:
โํ๋ ๋ ์
, ์ค๋น๋์ง
๊ฐ์๋ฐ์๋ณดโ
โOne, two, three โ ready?
Rock, paper, scissors!โ
โ
๐ซถ 1๏ธโฃ ํ๋ ๋ ์
โ โOne, two, threeโ
โข ํ๋ โ one
โข ๋ โ two
โข ์
โ three
๐ก Language tip:
These are pure Korean numbers (ํ๋, ๋, ์
, โฆ) โ used for counting in everyday life, like people, objects, and in games.
Youโll hear this trio everywhere in Korean daily life โ before taking photos, starting a round of a game, or making a toast.
Itโs often said rhythmically, almost as one phrase: โํ๋๋์
!โ
โ
๐ฎ 2๏ธโฃ ์ค๋น๋์ง โ โYouโre ready, right?โ
โข ์ค๋น๋๋ค โ to be ready (passive form of ์ค๋นํ๋ค)
โข -์ โ past tense marker
โข -์ง โ soft ending meaning โright?โ or โisnโt it?โ
๐ก Grammar note:
๋์ง is short for ๋์์ง โ a conversational contraction.
So ์ค๋น๋์ง literally means โYouโve become ready, havenโt you?โ
Itโs playful and natural โ the tone of someone teasing before starting a game.

๐ก Culture note:
This game is everywhere in Korea โ from playgrounds to variety shows, to settling small arguments (โWho pays for coffee?โ).
Koreans usually shout โ๊ฐ์๋ฐ์๋ณด!โ all at once while throwing their hand.
Itโs so common it even appears in lyrics and dramas to symbolize decision-making and fate.

The sequence โํ๋ ๋ ์

It gives the song an instantly familiar, catchy rhythm โ like joining a game with friends.
