To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Zimzalabim. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Seulgi’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation - her personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The Reveluvs understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these hooks, to realize that they're not just funny- they sing something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Zimzalabim truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Wendy’s existencial catchphrase "Are you ready for this? ZIMZALABIIIIIIIIM" which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Red Velvet’s genius unfolds itself on their Melon apps. What fools... how I pity them. And yes by the way, I DO have a Zimzalabim tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the oppas' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

@Serg.'s constant bias towards SNSD's best member, Jessica, always makes these rounds so much fun. xoxo
I’m finding this round harder than the last one... By “their” do you mean the Kpop act or the Japanese act?
