FIFTY FIFTY are back — pastel, playful, and full of sparkle ✨
Their new song “Eeny Meeny Miny Moe,” or in Korean “가위바위보” (Rock, Paper, Scissors), perfectly captures that fluttering moment of a new crush — 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.
Let’s take a look at one of the most adorable moments:
“하나 둘 셋, 준비됐지
가위바위보”
“One, two, three — ready?
Rock, paper, scissors!”
—
🫶 1️⃣ 하나 둘 셋 – “One, two, three”
• 하나 → one
• 둘 → two
• 셋 → three
💡 Language tip:
These are pure Korean numbers (하나, 둘, 셋, …) — used for counting in everyday life, like people, objects, and in games.
You’ll hear this trio everywhere in Korean daily life — before taking photos, starting a round of a game, or making a toast.
It’s often said rhythmically, almost as one phrase: “하나둘셋!”

🎮 2️⃣ 준비됐지 – “You’re ready, right?”
• 준비되다 → to be ready (passive form of 준비하다)
• -었 → past tense marker
• -지 → soft ending meaning “right?” or “isn’t it?”
💡 Grammar note:
됐지 is short for 되었지 — a conversational contraction.
So 준비됐지 literally means “You’ve become ready, haven’t you?”
It’s playful and natural — the tone of someone teasing before starting a game.

✌️ 3️⃣ 가위바위보 – “Rock, paper, scissors”
• 가위 → scissors ✂️
• 바위 → rock 🪨
• 보 → paper 📜
💡 Culture note:
This game is everywhere in Korea — from playgrounds to variety shows, to settling small arguments (“Who pays for coffee?”).
Koreans usually shout “가위바위보!” all at once while throwing their hand.
It’s so common it even appears in lyrics and dramas to symbolize decision-making and fate.

🪩 4️⃣ The rhythm of fun
The sequence “하나 둘 셋, 준비됐지 가위바위보” mirrors how Koreans actually play: count to three, check if everyone’s ready, and shout the phrase together.
It gives the song an instantly familiar, catchy rhythm — like joining a game with friends.
