You want a real taste, at least I'm not a fake
Come, come unwrap me
Come, come unwrap me

Close your eyes, don't peek
Now I'm undressing
Unwrap sour candy
Come, come unwrap me

The only bad thing about this song is that it's not long enough

@crackerphobiclikekeeho

And that Jisoo has no parts

@user-ij4cj1iy3f

I agree

@llovefood4927

Justice For Kim Jisoo she did tho

@tulipflower5941

Actually there is so much to talk about this song
Starting with the poor lyrics and going to the constant women objectification as a sex doll ...
The 5 of them were wrong for this
