Fans Defend Crush’s Lyrics After It’s Scrutinized For Allegedly Being About Red Velvet’s Joy

Netizens suspect Crush‘s “Ego” is about his girlfriend, Joy.

On November 15, a post titled “People Are Saying Crush’s New Lyrics Are About His Girlfriend” went viral.

In the post, the author uploaded the lyrics to Crush’s single “Ego.” The lyrics are translated below.

You say I’m doing too much, but it’s dangerous at night, so let me (walk you) just until the entrance to your place.

You’re such a tease. How are you so pretty? I don’t want to be away from you. I’m upset because I want to stay.

My tone is like a tantrum. You soothe me with a kiss. A light turns on above our heads. And it shimmers.

(Chorus) [Girl you killed my ego. How are you so pretty? I don’t want to be away from you. I’m upset because I want to stay.

I hate you (in a baby way), I hate you, hate you, hate you.]

The melody I hum alone, um. Is the song we listened to together, um. I smile when I see you after missing you. We are becoming so alike

Just like how clothes blend with strong colors, my heart is blending with you. Only white clouds. (So, I’m saying) Can’t I just go with you to walk your dog? Huh?

Chorus

Even played out words like
Saying that I love you
Are fitting for what we’re feeling
And they shine brighter tonight

Chorus

Netizens reacted to the lyrics with many exclaiming how cute they are. Although there were some netizens who complained about being able to envision the couple together, most felt the lyrics were completely fine.

• “It must be hard for (her) fans.”
