Just A Few Words:
When I visited Korea this summer (June/July 2012) this song was everywhere. It was really cool and fun at first, but after like the 10th time in 24 hours, it did get a little annoying. However, it is still one of my favorite songs.
This is also one of the few songs by f(x) that makes immediate sense.
English: 3 / 10
The pronunciation is great except...gauge. It should be pronounced "gay-juh" and not "gay-jee." I take away some more points since SM made their most fluent English speaker in f(x) say it...
Translation Difficulty: 4 / 10
Some of the bridge gave me grief...
