...the Instagram of P.K, who composed and arranged the song and is listed as one of two lyricists, along with his FearGOD colleague, BIGTONE:

A glance at the linked page suggests that "Thank you, Jesus/Yeah, I'm so lucky" lines were not just examples of English words and phrases being inserted without much thought to their meaning.

Some questions occur to me:

- I know that Christianity has a following in South Korea that it does not have, for example, in Japan. Are Christians in the Kpop industry represented in proportion to their presence in the South Korean population, or are they over represented?

- Usually Kpop songs are free of anything that might be politically or religiously controversial. Were Say My Name's agency unconcerned about any negative impact allusion to Christian belief might have in markets where either governments or populations are ill disposed to anything smacking of Christian proselytizing?

So far this has been the stage I've liked best of Say My Name's curiously addictive 'ShaLaLa". The skirts and the green and white colour coordination lend an agreeable unity to the performance.

Like many others, I was struck by the "Thank you Jesus" line. I wonder why that was included.
