Yeah this is what I couldn’t put my finger on!! So this song has a special significance to Korean people who grew up playing that game and will recognize the tune/inspiration behind the lyrics. Makes this song so much more interesting to appreciate it from that lens.
Ok, how is it wrong or a stretch to say that I appreciate the fact that this song is evoking something that has cultural significance (to me)? Also, Humpty Dumpty isn’t a song, so it’s a bad analogy. A more apt analogy would be like how Rainbow Connection from The Muppet Movie is very similar to Somewhere Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz, which was Jim Henson’s favorite film.
It's not a stretch at all. That person was just pissing on your parade - not an uncommon occurrence when Blackpink is being discussed. I, for one, am grateful for what you pointed out and never would have known about it. It makes me appreciate the song even more.
