This song is in my top 15 for sure. And the live tour performance is one of my favourites ever. Their energy is just insane. As always, the pretty version of this one is posted at BangtanKorean.com
Also, verse two features one of my favourite plays on words from Hobi. Look for the KIA/gear line. So Hobi!

Language note about Respect:

There are 3 versions of the word “respect” used in this song.

The English word “respect”, which is commonly used – in English – among young people in South Korea. There are plays made on this word in the song, breaking it in half to say “re-spect” as in, "to look again".
존중하다, which means to show respect to someone. Like to treat them respectfully, to respect the authorities, etc.
존경하다, which means to respect someone in the manner of esteeming them highly, admiring them, looking up to them. Since we only have one word in English for these 2 Korean words that really do carry different meanings, I’m going to make the word “respect” bold in my translation when it corresponds to the Korean word 존경하다.

ayo whats up repfam, just wanted to spread a bit of knowledge and show how I personally like to find most of the things I buy!
This will be separated into a couple of methods, from the best to worst in my opinion

^{METHOD 0: DISCORD} Didn't know where to put this, but this is extremely useful for those who like to browse for basically anything that's repped. The FashionReps Discord is great for finds, the #finds channel has the best finds I've seen in a while. Big shoutout to people like Logs and everyone in this great community for contributing! Join the FashionReps Discord here, helpers are usually online all the time (including me!) and there's always an answer for your questions asked there!

METHOD 1: REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH

Super underrated method, requires little/no time to set up and it's the best method for W2C questions
Before you start: filtering through results is always important, check out my filtering methods below method 2.
Steps:
1.) (optional) Make a Taobao account, makes everything smoother without needing to go through anything that'll be annoying (human verification, popups to make an account, etc.)
2.) Go to this link, should take you to a page like this
https://imgur.com/a/TayjmzK
3.) Click on the small camera icon to the far most right of the search bar
https://imgur.com/a/nFvkY4i
4.) Upload (almost) any picture you want!

IMPORTANT:

There are some images Taobao doesn't like, I'll list them here

Images directly from StockX via Google Images
Images with the .webp file format
Images smaller than 201x201 pixels
Blurry/Pixelated Images

So, lots of Google Images pictures work fine, just make sure they aren't from StockX while searching.
If you want to use StockX images, you'll have to go to the list of items and save the thumbnail of the image, it will work fine.
Tip: Use multiple photos with multiple angles, make sure the logo is clearly visible or Taobao won't pick up on the brand. Also, sellers tend to use stock images as well as images from influencers/people from social media, as well as the official images from the brand.
Examples of social media pics: https://imgur.com/a/6pelzxn
Reverse Image Searching might not pick up on some of these, but people like Eric Whiteback are commonly used for the product images.
Examples for the Assc x Fragment Collab:
Bad: https://imgur.com/a/rdt2tmX
Good: https://imgur.com/a/7Gac50t
Why it's good: Multiple images, different backgrounds, different colors, bigger logo, higher quality images
Here's a little method I like to use while reverse image searching:
Adjust the focus area of the item, usually, some products are zoomed in or just really small, so adjust the square reasonably
This method can be used for finds lists, adjust the box to different parts of the logo to find way more items easily. Why does this work? Sellers tend to blur parts of the logo to bypass copyright laws, focusing on different parts of the logo could potentially reveal the part of the logo that's uncensored in the product image. Works very well in text-based brands, such as Gucci, Givenchy, Bape, and Supreme

METHOD 2: TAOBAO SEARCHBAR

This method needs a bit of prior knowledge and a bit of research, but it's pretty easy.
So, the same searchbar from the reverse image search can be used to find reps :0
Steps:
1.) Decide what brand you want to search for
2.) Use this guide to help with keywords, I'll provide some commonly used ones below
3.) Combine search terms and start searching!
Universal keywords I use for mostly hypebeast brands, works all the time:
Ins, logo, bogo, 2019, 2020, tide, brand, 现货, classic, fashion, printed, t, tee, tshirt, t-shirt, longsleeve, short, sleeve
Supreme: supr, sup, supreme, supp, supremet恤
Combine these with the season released to get better results. Example: 17FW, FW17, 20SS, SS20
Filtering Is Important! Knowing what's a good rep and what's bad is ESSENTIAL for finding solid reps, or you could end up with Superme or Ballenciga
HOW I FILTER:
Method 1: Easiest method of filtering, uses your own 2 eyes, works for both method 1 and 2.
There's a number count to the side of the item that says "People pay" or "人付款" if you turned off Google Translate. Example:
This number represents the monthly sales of the item, not total sales. The more people who purchase it, the better it could turn out.
Method 1.5: This uses Method 1, as you need to find a popular and purchased item for this to work the best. Many purchases tend to come with many reviews, and with more reviews, there are more customer pics with the reviews.
To sort by the most purchased, (ONLY WORKS WITH SEARCHBAR METHOD) click on the Sales tab, right next to the Comprehensive sort button. Here: https://imgur.com/a/oz1cwN5
After clicking, the items should be sorted by the most purchased per month. This excludes some results, so it's not the best way to sort by most popular.
To get to these customer review pics on Taobao, head over to the "Cumulative evaluation" tab near the bottom, and the reviews should load up. Once they load, select the "Pictures" option. The tabs may vary per device type (PC, Mobile, etc.) but the process is still the same. Example: https://imgur.com/a/XUNVGcO
With the review pics, you can send it here is this great subreddit for a QC, or send it in the amazing FashionReps Discord, my personal favorite place to chat with amigos.
Method 2: Price and Size
This is very helpful for budget finds lists, as you can control the price of the items that show up. Using the same searchbar as the previous method, you can input the price range you're looking for into this text box: https://imgur.com/a/gjO3O9N
Once you put in your desired prices, click the "determine" button and it'll redirect you to the items within that price range.
For size: Occasionally, if keywords related to clothing are used, sizes will shoiw up above the sales and price tabs.

METHOD 3: GOOGLE

This is definitely my favorite method for creating finds lists, it gives many many options as well as various fantasy and real items you've probably never seen before. This was used heavily in my upcoming Supreme list collab with my boy Logs ^bogo#6868 on Discord :) . Even though this may seem cool at first, there's a lot of sifting through repeated items as well as occasionally retail items.
How it's done:
1.) Load up Google and get your keywords ready, you'll need to interchange them a lot for a variety of results. My favorite keywords: sup logo
2.) Search up the keywords using the phrase "site:taobao.com" or "site:tmall.com" or "site:weidian.com", aka basically any replica marketplace you can find. Example: "sup logo site:taobao.com"
3.) You have 2 options here: Use the normal search results and click each link that comes up, and hope that it isn't retail
Or, you can use Google Images to redirect you to Taobao Lists, which gives you pages upon pages of items to browse through. This option is the best for finding the most results quickly. Look for the links that say "www.taobao.com/list/product/", rather than "item.taobao.com/item.htm?"
This method is the best method for finding a wide variety of fantasy and real pieces, gives you great results with only a couple minutes of searching. With the numerous results, this method isn't the best for finding specific items, rather it's good for finding specific brands and types of clothes. Definitely a really cool method I've used.

METHOD 4: TAOBAO STORES

Hopefully this is well known, not much of a method but (kinda) common knowledge.
I'll explain, there's no need for steps: Once you find a nice piece from searching, and you desire more from either this brand or this type of clothing, check out the seller's shop. Usually, the price range stays the same, as well as the brands of clothing they sell. Budget items could potentially lead to good budget sellers, so always check the seller for their items. I've found lots of finds to GP using this method, sometimes I found brands I never expected to find, like really good Cavempt and Mastermind in a mostly Supreme shop. Great method for finding more of the same brand for the same price.

METHOD 5: WEIDIAN SEARCHBAR

Weidian is one of the unknown areas of reps, usually unexplored by newer members as well as some older members. This method works with a bit of research and effort, I haven't used it as much. Really useful if you can navigate Weidian, but usually extremely budget trash items come up often. Here's a great guide from u/HSRiddles , check it out. Guide
I personally like to use the Google Method for Weidian, works like a charm. The official Weidian searchbar is here: https://h5.weidian.com/m/new-search/index.html?disableHeaderRefresh=1&wfr=shop&ifr=shopdetail&echatSourceTag=media%3D1%26staffId%3D5229%26staffName%3Dschnne%26companyId%3D84%26talkId%3D2324787%26echatTag%3Den&keyword.
Downsides to Weidian: No reverse image search, hard to navigate, not the best results overall

How to read it:
A space would be equivalent to a rest (no sound), but just like speaking you kinda pronounce it as a whole line, so some words are separated but when sung it's actually continuous. I just broke the word where I thought it sounded most natural, and tried to keep the arrangement of letters similar so it looks like a real language.
I haven't marked the places where the singer does this... yodel sound? so remember that.
"t" is really in between a t and a d, sometimes it sounds more like a t.
The h, is like a ghost, it's there but like... I can't really understand what it's doing; hopefully when y'all hear the song you know what I mean.
j is sometimes very soft, pronounced like j in job; it's almost in between j and ch.
Fluff: "ee" would actually make the "i" sound (if her name is Vastaya and the song is in Vastaya) then the word at the end "nigo" could actually be neeko.
it's just in between a k/g sound, like in Korean for example.
I tried to find the lyrics but couldn't, so if it already exist, this is awkward. If I made any mistakes, let me know

Ayo ladies and gentlemen and all good people of /bangtan~~
You might remember reading our posts about the 2016 census and the accompanying discussion post, and our post with the 2016 census results. You can view the full census results here.
And at long last, we're proud to share the digital version, in both Korean and English, of the census book! We sent both editions to BH and they have received the books. Here are some photos of the book, both wrapped up to be shipped and the books themselves.
The physical version was a 8 x 10 in, 56 page book, and was printed on 100# Premium matte paper.
The files below are around ~4 mb (fanart may be slightly compressed; this is because this version is 72 dpi for web only).
We kindly ask you to please do not re-upload, re-post, re-host or otherwise re-distribute any parts of these documents elsewhere (in any format).

English version	Korean version

We had 796 responders to the census survey, 50 commenters and 11 illustrators from 64 different countries who participated in this project. This was an incredibly ambitious project, and we're so happy to see it come to fruition! But we couldn't have done it without all you guys.
We want to give a big shout out to:

our tireless translators, who worked so hard in making the Korean version! Thanks for putting up with our often frantic requests, and for doing this almost Herculean task.
volunteers who helped out with data collation of the short answers and of the comments! You guys were so helpful and worked so hard, we couldn't have done it without you~
the coordinators, who worked hard on this project!
the mods of /bangtan, for being so supportive of this project! Thanks for making /bangtan a beautiful and wonderful place to be :)
the illustrators, who produced such beautiful artwork!
everyone who commented in the discussion post. There were so many lovely comments that we couldn't include, and we're sorry that we couldn't include them all. We wanted the comments to reflect the census results and to include as many commenters as possible; we were able to include everyone who commented!
everyone who participated in the census; without you, this project could not have been possible!
everyone of /bangtan: thanks for being a wonderful community, and the impetus of this project!

We hope you liked how the project turned out! Please look out for our Suga birthday closing post in the coming weeks, and for our future projects, as they come. Also, thank you for all your support of our projects thus far! It really means a lot to us :)

With love,
The BTS projects team

Here are some rules to block submissions posted in foreign languages (foreign meaning "disallowed on your subreddit"). I posted an earlier version a few years ago, but these use Unicode ranges and are much better rules.
Notes:

Be really careful copying these. Leave out any languages you want to allow for submissions.
Note that most of the rules are filter or remove. The least accurate (and least necessary) rules are report rules.
These are all type: submission.
Some characters used in loanwords like "résumé" have been removed, but subreddits with a lot of faces beyond the Lenny face, the shrug face, and the look of disapproval might want to remove some additional characters.
By being selective about which rules are used and possibly making some modifications, these should be usable for non-English subreddits as well.
Rules only filter or report on ü, ó, ç because those letters are too commonly used in English, especially place names (unless a second rule is used). Examples: Zürich, Kraków, Malmö, Française, Nürnberg, Düsseldorf, Köln, Córdoba.
The word lists are generally the 100 most common words that are not common in English, don't match the primary regex, and are 3+ letters long.

Madame Lee Jin Kim was unsure of who in their right mind would be knocking at her door at this hour as she ran down the staircase in her robes. There was a slightly drizzle outside, so it was hard to see who was out there, and she contemplated if she should even bother opening the door. The knocking wasn't particularly demanding, but it was consistent in its attempt to get attention. Madame LJK considered going back to sleep for a few seconds before she heard two sets of knock at the door. One more faint than the other.
Gathering her courage, she opened it to reveal two people she vaguely recognized. "Moon. Nazar. This is a surprise." She stood to the side to let the two men in before taking a quick peek outside and quickly shutting the door. "Could this not wait until morning."
"Voch. And you already know the answer to question, otherwise you would not have let is in to your home." Nazar let his gaze wander around the lavishly decorated mansion. "Not as good as castle. But very stylish. I expected nothing less."
"I think this is more well furnished than the National Meeting House." Said Moon, also taking a look around.
"This isn't a museum, gentlemen. Please state your business."
"Short and to the point. I like it." Moon grinned back at Madame LJK. "People like you make the economy go 'round. In any case, yes, Nazar and I have come to you with a proposition. Nazar, this was your idea, so I'll let you introduce it."
"To make story short, I do not trust Wei Foundation." He began. "My contacts have reason to believe that maybe they are not as... charitable as they seem. Not wholeheartedly. And that they may even be planning something sinister on account of our disagreeableness to let them operate in borders of Koryo."
"What kind of plans could they be making?" Asked Madame LJK.
"We're not sure." Said Moon. "But my fellow Councilmen have also expressed concerns on the extent of their operations. We didn't even know a world existed out of Koryo, yet they were quick to present aid to us when we recently passed legislation on education. When Nazar approached us with his own thoughts on the matter, I couldn't help but feel as though Nazar was holding something back."
"Which I was." He agreed. "I have plan. But I wasn't sure if I could bring it up with National Council. It might be seen as..." He chuckled. "Too unsettling. And not proper."
Madame LJK was beginning to like this man. She had only heard of him out of reputation, but he seemed like he was danger-prone. As was she. "Hmm. Try me."
"I will, anushki. But for now, I give plan. I want to make prostitutes into spies."
Moon coughed as LJK choked on her own breath. "I'm sorry, what?!" She demanded. "What kind of a plan is that? And why am I to be involved with this?"
"I suppose it's my turn to explain. Nazar suggested that perhaps it would be of benefit to us to plant a few spies into these foreign nations that the Wei had spoken of. Just so we can gather intelligence and determine if they have any plans. They being our neighbors, which we apparently have, or the Wei. To involve the government would open up a tsunami of legislations and international relations the government cannot handle yet... but a renegade covert group of spies disguised as courtesans would prove valuable."
Madame LJK nodded. "Okay. Fine. But how do you plan on training prostitutes to become spies?"
"That is where I come in." Moon chortled, but Nazar carried on uninterrupted. "We recruit the more... capable and sharp-witted of prostitutes and give them a respectable job. Of course it will be secret job, where they are to serve the government for the rest of their lives and swear loyalty to nation. But they do not have much to lose to begin with. And it could give them sense of purpose. I already am experienced with such skills they need, so it will be no problem in teaching."
"Skills like...?" Asked LJK.
"Spying. He means spying." Stated Moon.
"Ayo, of course," Continued Nazar. "But that is my part. Moon's part is to secure secret and off-book funding for operations, and your part is to make ragged street-folk into proper companions."
"I'm sorry, what?"
"What Nazar means is that we are asking you to train these potential spies into becoming something more than simple bed-companions. Along with Nazar's teachings of covert operations, you will be giving them instructions on the pleasantries of conversation, tact, elegance, and charm. No one in all of Koryo posesses these skills like you do, so that is why we come to you in our time of need."
"And I suppose I am obligated to help on account of national pride, not wanting to see my business over-taken by some foreigner, etc etc."
"Yes." Said Nazar. "But more importantly. We pay for service."
"Yes. We'll be more than willing to compensate you for your time and for the dresses we humbly ask you to make for these spies."
"... well... if I'm going to be paid... I suppose there is no issue to it. This company can run without me for a few days while I 'go on vacation', so there is no worry there. Especially if I get to prefect my dress making skills for my wealthier women clients."
Moon coughed once more. "Not just women."
LJK arched an eye-brow while Nazar laughed. "Really?" She asked.
"Yes, really." Said Nazar. "It won't be 50-50 men women, but it never hurt to cover all bases."
Moon rolled his eyes and regained his composure. "Yes, because you're so good at covering all bases."
As the talks continued to dawn, the three of them were electric with the forbidden sense of secrecy. This was a very very very covert operation, the first of its kind anywhere in Koryo. If successful, this new spy-ring would prove to be invaluable to the nation's interest. Even if only less than 1% of the nation even heard of them.
Though it would be difficult. This entire situation would work assuming:

The potential spies were actually competent patriots who could learn what was required.
The spies wouldn't double-cross them when they reached their destination.
The spies wouldn't be discovered.
No one within Koryo would find out about these spies.
No one outside of Koryo would be suspicious of ethnic Koreans around notable men (or women) of reputation.

It all was very risk. And if it failed, it would be the biggest humiliation the nation had ever experienced. And it would then set the tone for Koryo's introduction to the world as sneaky agents of mayhem. The few that were involved with the project could only hope it would successfully serve the interests of the many. In one way or another.

At first, it's from another person's perspective, they are jealous and want to know why the girl changed so much because of a boy. Then at 2:02 Tiffany says "ayo stop let me put it down another way" and they start singing from the girl's perspective, the girl "who has a boy". Then at 3:41, I think the girl is somehow angry maybe because the boy is not giving her attention, but then Jessica comes at 4:02 and says "Don't stop, let's bring it back to 1:40" in the song, and the girl is happy again.
처음엔 3자의 관점에서 소녀들이 왜 그 여자애가 남자애 때문에 그렇게나 많이 바뀌었는지 질투하고 있는 모습이다. 그 후, 2:02 부분에서 티파니가 "AYO, 다르게 가보자"고 하며 "(위에서 말한)남자애를 가진" 소녀의 관점에서 노래하기 시작한다. 3:41초 부분을 보면, 소녀는 그 남자애가 자기한테 관심이 없는 것같아 화가 난 듯 보이는데, 4:02 부분에서 제시카가 "끝내지 말고 1:40로 돌아가자"고 하며, 소녀는 다시 기분이 좋아진다.
From my perspective, the song has multiple personality disorder. xP So, I think in the beginning they are talking as if they are other girls, like girls who see how this girl has changed so much for this guy. And when the song changes at 2:02, it changes perspective to the girl actually did change, and she is talking about how much she likes this guy. at 3:41 the girl is mad for some reason, but then at 1:40 they decide to forget why they are mad ad be happy about this boy again. (?) O.O
내가 봤을땐, 이 곡에는 다중 인격장애가 있는 것 같다. XP(웃는 표현) 그래서, 나는 처음에는 소녀들이 이 소녀가 이 남자때문에 왜 이렇게 많이 변했는지에 관심을 갖는 소녀들로서 이야기를 하고 있는 거라고 생각한다. 그리고 나서 2:02 부분에서 노래가 바뀔 때, 노래가 남자 때문에 변하게 된 소녀의 관점으로 변하면서 자기가 얼마나 이 남자를 좋아하는지 이야기하고 있다. 3:41초 부분에서는 이 소녀가 어떤 이유로 좀 화가 났지만, 1:40초 부분으로 돌아가면서 그런 거 잊어버리고 그 남자를 찬양하기로 하는거임.

이봐! 유튜브에서 이 곡 번역 좀 찾아보라구. 이 곡을 이해함과 동시에 꽤 천재적인 곡이라는걸 이해하게 될걸. 처음엔 변주가 이상하다고 생각했는데 영어 번역을 찾고 나서 벙쪘다니까! 이 곡은 그냥 천재적이야. 첫 부분 - 3자의 관점(친구 관점), 두 번째 부분 - 소녀의 관점(왜 이렇게 귀척하게 됐는지), 세 번째 부분 - 소녀가 소년이 자신한테 무관심해서 화가남, 4번째 부분 - 소녀들(친구들)의 관점으로 돌아옴. 추천해달라구 모두가 볼 수 있게.

Another interpretation:

Before I begin, let us all take a moment to read a comment from a fellow Sone:
“This is why many international fans will never experience the true beauty behind kpop. The main reason being the language barrier. The song is a conversation between the girls about a boy. That is why the song goes back and forth, you have to follow the flow of the music and lyrics. For those making fun of the song having 9 parts is overlooking that all the girls are participating in the conversation. Some use rap to express their opinions and others used other genres. It’s a shame so many can’t appreciate this powerful and flawless single from the girls. To be completely honest with you all, this is by far one of the best songs from SNSD. It’s so fierce and daring.” >- Noltan via soshified
‘I Got A Boy’ was, to say the least, not what anyone expected. It was bold, it was daring and way out of the girls’ comfort zone but that does not make it bad. I have seen comment after comment, criticizing what they call a poor excuse for a song. There are those that say it’s not unique, some who say they are disappointed. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, right? To me, the song is unique and I don’t find it to be a disappoint. The lyrics tell a story about the boy, with each girl telling it from their point of view. As Noltan stated, they are having a conversation with one another — which was the concept of the song from the start: girl talk. Why tell the story from one side, when you can tell it from all. How can you not appreciate the hard work and creativity these nine ladies, and their company, put into this song? It’s something entirely new and when you realize the deeper meaning, it’s not nonsense at all. For instance, The Boys may not have made sense in English but, the korean lyrics showed something more powerful. It’s amazing what you can find when you read between the lines. Now it may not seem to flow well to everyone, but the two background beats remain constant. (An instrumental would show that.) For everyone expecting something cute, why can’t our girls’ shy away from that image? They’re grown women and it’s time they show that they are capable of anything, that they won’t just stick to the status quo. Besides, not all of their past released material has been cute. What I am trying to say is, give the song a chance. You’ll see that there’s more than meets the eye. That it’s genius in a way, and appreciate the hard work put into it more. If this does not change how you feel, then nothing will.
