Monday was full of releases, and one of the highlights is HITGS dropping the MV for “A-HA!”—a playful, quirky dance song with moves just as unexpected as the lyrics. It’s fun, cheeky, and confident: exactly what makes HITGS stand out. Let’s break down this line:

“들어봐 하나씩 알아주게 날

그냥 외워도 이해 마 이게 나니까”

“Listen, get to know me one thing at a time.

Even if you just memorize it, don’t try to understand—it’s me.”

💡 Language & Grammar Tip:

Notice how the lyric contrasts 알아주다 (to acknowledge/recognize) with 이해하다 (to understand). The speaker wants recognition of their uniqueness, not explanation or judgment. It’s a playful but powerful distinction in Korean.

💬 Why It Matters:

HITGS isn’t asking for approval—they’re saying: take me as I am, piece by piece, no explanations needed. “A-HA!” is their anthem of quirky self-expression, and it’s as bold in message as it is in sound.
