Just A Few Words:
Boy am I a sucker for cutesy songs.  But anyway, I wanted to know what "BuBiBu" meant.  Translations around the web suggest "to accidentally touch" to "brush up against" but it sounded kinda wrong so I asked my friend 민언니.  She said it's just a cutesy "word" that doesn't actually have a meaning.  Kinda like the jabbering you'd make at a baby ("goochie goo") or, in her words, "what does the fox say? Ger-ding-a-ding..."

The few lines of English were well pronounced and grammatically correct.  Thank you A Cube Entertainment for not keeping the only English speaker...
