Random math and science in kpop (1 Viewer)

[Ahsoka]

Just a few random kpop songs with math or science in them (not just stuff like counting). And then I’ll write what they mean if it’s not obvious

“More difficult than quadratic formula, Your mind is like math” Arising-Cignature

“Don’t deny our r²π” (area of a circle) 0330-UKISS

“C6H12O6, I’ll make it sweet” (C6H12O6 is some sugars) FM-Crayon Pop

Who ever said these lyrics were a good idea?

Honestly probably no one

I honestly love when kpop groups get nerdy

And this album:

Twice's Formula of Love: O+T=<3 is an equation lol

omg I just realized the three in that heart symbol I posted could mean thrice... once plus twice equals thrice! haha I'm such a math nerd...

 

[ChiaraStar169]

ughhhhhhhhhh I was typing out a whole ass math nerd coded reply when I accidentally xed out of Chrome and now I can't even remember what I was saying, at least not verbatim

it was basically that O+T=<3 could be interpreted as Once plus Twice equals thrice bc of the 3 in the heart symbol... but I had put it way nerdier than that

edit: nvm it did post, it just didn't show up until after I posted this one... weird.

You could also say it’s one plus two is equal to or less than 3, which isn’t wrong

true that! lol

 

[catonkatonk]

Very sloppy notation tbh. It should be:
O+T≤3

 

[Ahsoka]

O+T≤3

You want the fans to always need to find ≤ when talking about Twice albums?

Evergliw'a "-77.82x-78.29" will be forever the standard for obscure/opaque science-y in kpop/music(unless ur a genius science whiz maybe[or just expert at wikipedia/googlesearch)

I don't think in much cultural works(ie non science connected) hv I ever come across such a situation(Queen the band's lead guitarist Brian May is an actual astrophysicist with a thesis on A survey of radial velocities in the zodiacal dust cloud but I don't think he ever referred to any science in Queen's songs or his own. If he did it's not more enigmatic than "-77.82x-78.29" LOL

EDIT I don't mean references tat make sense in context BTW, I mean just batshit mysterious science-y stuff tat makes no sense(at first or later on, tho it might mean sthg to the one who thought up the reference) end edit

It seems like people believe it’s coordinates for a point in Antarctica. I like it when little things are parts of comebacks, where they aren’t too obvious

My point abt "-77.82-78.29" isn't abt wat it means as ppl could find an interpretation or the original title-er could hv his/her own interpretation/meaning but how far the title/interpretation/meaning was miles away from anything I rmbr being at all connected to any songs/lyrics in the mini album. I don't think tat point will be surpassed as to how obscure/opaque the title/reference is/was. Google/internet/Wikipedia exists now but I will particularly rmbr this as an unpronounceable/unmemorizeable(not meaning forgettable, just can't easily rmbr or bring it out of memory) LOL

Ngl I’m a little surprised they have this kind of a title just because I’m sure many fans don’t remember the exact numbers always, because of the specificity I feel like if I was a fan, I’d just remember it as something like “that math titled album”, which could make it take longer to find. Since the numbers are obscure, like you said

I was faithfully following their fan discord for a while until 2020 or so n most fans nvr referred to the title mostly to the song on it I think. But tat came out just ard time before I faithfully logged into discord regularly before being overwhelmed by daily updates/posts/comments on all my discord servers so idk. I had to Google EG's discography/Wikipedia page for exact title. This is why I think it will forever be unsurpassed as most opaque/obscure reference LOL.

i recognised at least two from those videos lmaooo i used to cry of laughter at these
nonsense lyrics that aren't even problematic or harmful but just straight up unhinged are my favourite

The juxtaposition of the silliness of some of those lyrics against how VERY SRS BSNS the idols are.

"don't deny our r-squared pi" is still iconic, though.
