Stray Kids' “This & That” is a playful boast about a group that refuses to pick just one option and takes everything on offer. They shrug off doubters and boredom, treat a packed schedule of stages and studio time as fun, and carry their group badge proudly while chasing the next chance. The tone stays confident, loose and cheerful throughout, with coffee orders and car choices standing in for a life of wanting both.
Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
Stop denying 두 눈 감아봐도 분위기 늘 잔치Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): Stop denying du nun ga·ma·bwa·do bu·nwi·gi neul jan·chi
Meaning: Stop denying it — shut your eyes, the vibe is always a party
Words in this line- 두dutwo
- 눈nuneyes
- 감아봐도ga·ma·bwa·doeven if you close
- 분위기bu·nwi·givibe
- 늘neulalways
- 잔치jan·chifeast
Word for word: Stop denying, even if you try closing two eyes, atmosphere always feast.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 두 눈 is two eyes, but English just says eyes. -아봐도 means even if you try. 잔치 is a feast, and calling the atmosphere a feast means the party never stops.
내비둬 그래도 찾아먹지 울 식성대로Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae·bi·dwo geu·rae·do cha·ja·meok·jji ul sik·sseong·dae·ro
Meaning: Leave it be, we'll still find what we eat by our own taste
Words in this line- 내비둬nae·bi·dwoleave it
- 그래도geu·rae·doeven so
- 찾아먹지cha·ja·meok·jjiwill find and eat
- 울ulour
- 식성대로sik·sseong·dae·roby appetite
Word for word: Leave it, even so we find and eat, by our appetite.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 찾아먹다 literally means find and eat, which means to help yourself. 식성 is appetite and 대로 is as or according to, so together it means we do it our own way. 울 is a casual form of our.
원해 더 멈출 수 없는 challengeListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): won·hae deo meom·chul ssu eom·neun challenge
Meaning: I want more, a challenge that can't be stopped
Words in this line- 원해won·haeI want
- 더deomore
- 멈출meom·chulto stop
- 수ssuway/can
- 없는eom·neunlacking
Word for word: Want more stop-can way lacking challenge
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 멈출 수 없는 is 멈출 'to stop', 수 'way' and 없는 'lacking'; together 'unstoppable'. Korean puts the descriptor before the noun, so the literal order breaks. 원해 is simply 'I want', yet it sounds fervent.
이것저것 다Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): i·geot·jjeo·geot da
Meaning: (this and that, everything)
Words in this line- 이것저것i·geot·jjeo·geotthis and that
- 다daall
Word for word: (This-thing-that-thing all)
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 이것저것 literally strings together 'this thing, that thing', but as a set phrase it means 'all sorts of things'. 다 alone means 'all', and together they stress the sweep of it: the speaker has everything.
