The 10-piece swing band Red & The Red … Read Full Bio ↴According to AllMusic Biography:
The 10-piece swing band Red & The Red Hots formed in Texas in 1985. The group's lead singer/songwriter/producer/pianist Red Young moved the Red Hots' headquarters to L.A. three years later, where the band settled into its more-or-less permanent lineup: vocalists Rebecca Downs, Cassie Miller and Jennifer Griffin, saxophonist Keith Fiddmont, trumpet player Brian Swartz, drummer Randy Landas and a revolving cast of horn players, including Greg Smith, Lee Thornburg, Scott Englebright and Matt Zebley. Red & The Red Hots play regular dates in the West and Southwest, and released two albums, 1998's Boogie Man and the following year's Gettin' Around, both released on Young's own Red Young label.

The lyrics to Red & the Red Hots's song Boogie Man are in Korean, but the overall theme of the song is about waiting patiently for love. The chorus repeats the phrase "Bugibugibugimaen nareul saranghandahaeyo", which roughly translates to "I love you even if I have to wait a hundred years". The verses talk about how the singer's heart is trembling and pounding with anticipation, but they are willing to endure the wait for the person they love.
The opening lines of the song, "Kkeutnaejuneyo jenteulhaneyo / Dangsineun kkeutnaejuneyo", can be interpreted as the end of the line being the end of the wait, and the person they are waiting for is the one who will end that wait. The second verse has lines that translate to "I'm waiting for you only, even for a hundred years or a thousand years", which emphasizes the patience and dedication the singer has for their love.
The overall message of the song is one of devotion and perseverance in the face of time and distance. The singer is willing to wait for their love, no matter how long it takes, because they believe it is worth it.
