어떻게 해요
누가 날좀 날좀 날좀 take control
내 귀엔 beat 흔들리는
Disco ball 이 makes me free
그럼 또 사정 없이 조권 on the floor
누가 make some noise 해도 한 주먹에 blow
진짜 beat 흔들리는 disco ball 이 makes me free
이 바닥에 crazy boy는 나 하나야 on the floor
I'm an animal
Won't you see me go o-o-oh
I'm an animal
You'll watch me on the floor o-o-oh
Don't stop the beat, stop the beat, make it drop
Don't stop the beat, make it drop
Don't stop the beat, stop the beat, make it drop
Don't stop the beat, make it drop
이 바닥에 crazy boy는 나 하나야 on the floor
누가 make some noise 해도 한 주먹에 blow
진짜 beat 흔들리는 disco ball 이 makes me free
이 바닥에 crazy boy는 나 하나야 on the floor
Yeh, I'm the anima-a-a-al
Yeh, I'm the anima-a-a-al

뜨거워진 나를 take control 음악에 데였어
걱정은 하지 말아 이 바닥에 crazy boy
Get on the floor 내 무대는 저기 저기 저!
날 빛추는 조명 앞엔 hurry hurry up!
Hot hot 해 분위긴 더위타 좀더
강하게 시선은 물들어가
미리미리 봐 어디를 가든지 난
화려한 무대를 모두 삼켜버린 animal rah!

Everyone is talking about J-Hope, but can you imagine what it must have been like releasing this type of concept in Korea 8 years ago? Props to Jo Kwon for being ahead of the wave

Seriously. I'm super curious how hard it was to convince Music Core to let Jo Kwon dance in those heels. Or if shows were just more chill back then.
