BORN PINK & 뛰어(JUMP)
BORN PINK (2022) pairs the swaggering threat of Pink Venom and Shut Down with the giddy confusion of Yeah Yeah Yeah and the open-hearted longing of Ready For Love, and the 2025 single 뛰어(JUMP) adds a short burst of dancefloor bravado. Because these tracks are mostly English, this short bonus set draws on their Korean lines only: words for poison, cruelty and flash, for staying calm and humble, for being unexpectedly drawn to someone, and for fear, fate and protection. Expect useful everyday verbs and adjectives such as 빼앗다, 진정하다, 끌리다, 겁내다 and 지키다.
