JYP introducing the Wonder Girls

자꾸 첨이란 말을 너무 많이해
이런 감정은 첨이라며 말을 하는게 이상해
난 다른 여자들과 다르다는게 좀 수상해
내가 아는 애만 해도 몇 명인데
그 여자들은 아무 의미도 없다는게 이상해
그동안 사귀었던 여잔 뭐였는데
말이 도무지 안되잖아

남잔 다 믿어서는 안된다고 하면서
너만 (너만) 다르다고 말하는 건 뭐야

Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말

여잔 다 가지고 놀기만 했었다면서
나만 (나만) 다르게 생각한단 건 뭐야

Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말

다른 남자 애들 안 좋은 얘기를
자꾸 내게 자세히 말해 주는게 너무 이상해
니 친구들 안 좋은 얘길 왜 내게 계속 말해
너만 안 그렇단 말이 좀 이상해
니 친구들 모두 너와 함께 다니잖아 말이 돼
친구들 모두 다 그러고 있는데 너만 안그러고 있는게

남잔 다 (남잔) 믿어서는 안된다고 하면서
너만 (너만) 다르다고 말하는 건 뭐야

Irony uh 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말

여잔 다 oh 가지고 놀기만 했었다면서
나만 (나만) 다르게 생각한단 건 뭐야

Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말

Uh, break it down, uh four, three, two, one

너무 진실한 것처럼 말이지
너무 그러니까 이상한거지
말을 곧이 곧대로 듣지 못하고
자꾸 의심하게 돼 믿지 못하고
잠시 생각해보면 니가 뭣하러
그렇게까지 나에게 환심을 사려
할까 싶어서 믿어보려고도 해봤어
하지만 수상해 아무래도 안되겠어

남잔 다 (남잔 다) 믿어서는 안된다고 하면서
너만 (너 하나만) 다르다고 말하는 건 뭐야 (그게뭐니)

Irony 말도 안 돼
그건 Irony 말도 안 돼
그건 Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말

여잔 다 가지고 놀기만 했었다면서
나만 다르게 생각한단 건 뭐야

Irony 말도 안 돼
Irony 말도 안 돼




Irony 말도 안 돼
말도 안 되는 말 정말 yeah

Overall Meaning

In "Irony" by the Wonder Girls, JYP introduces the group by highlighting the irony of how society views women differently. The lyrics express the irony and confusion of how women are often stereotyped, with people assuming they behave a certain way or have certain characteristics. The song also argues that it is not fair to judge someone based on stereotypes and that people should not believe everything they hear.


The first verse focuses on the confusion felt by the singer, who is tired of hearing the phrase "this is my first time feeling this way" from others. They find it strange that they are considered different from other women based on what they think. The second verse describes how people often speak negatively about women, but the singer is the exception. The chorus repeats the words "it's irony" to emphasize the nonsensical nature of the stereotypes.


Overall, "Irony" is a commentary on the cultural expectations placed on women and how it is unfair to make assumptions based on stereotype.
