hi, I am here to breakdown the lines that everyone is confused about right now after much research, lines are:
“난 자금 초록종이 모아서 해 = now I have a stack of green paper and give them a 뽀뽀뽀 = popopo”
“난 될래 놀며 돈을 버는 사람 뽀로로 = i wanna become someone who makes money while having fun pororo”
“통장에 0에 0을 더해 마치 = adding zero to zero in my bank account… 한로로 = hanroro.”
to break it down, it builds around a clever chain of wordplay and rhymes:
green paper (초록종이): refers to money, such as us dollars or korean won bills.
popopo (뽀뽀뽀): a playful "kiss" sound effect.
pororo (뽀로로): the famous korean cartoon penguin, whose character is known for loving to play and have fun (matching the line about making money while enjoying life).
0+0 & hanroro (한로로): the lyrics here mention adding zero to zero in a bank account, which leads directly into a reference to indie singer-songwriter hanroro and her song "0+0."
the backlash is not actually about the meaning of the lyrics. instead, some korean netizens used the shoutout to criticize cortis, arguing that name dropping an artist like hanroro was unnecessary or claiming it somehow downplayed the music.
in short, the lyric is simply a creative sequence of references and rhymes.
A CORTISTIC CRAZE
With just 12 songs, CORTIS is currently the first and only K-Pop artist to have the biggest and fastest international concert tour demand in history, under 10 months of debut with Ticketmaster queues exceeding 1/2 a million COERs waiting to buy tickets for PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN tour.
It usually takes 4 to 5 years in the business to meet a 1/2 million demand but the group has done it in less than 10 months in a country with a polarizing economy.

30 years in the business. only do dramas every 4 years or more. do not appear on interviews. does not have social medias. can only be seen in public if she wanted. and yet here she is still on top. a true definition of timeless superstar.
For me Barbie was the first feminist icon in animation. Endless careers, no prince needed, just a girl showing other girls they could be anything. That’s why we were all obsessed
