Changbin, who actively participates in producing as part of the group’s producing team 3RACHA. Let’s discover his confident charm through lyrics he wrote.

“When others follow that, I won’t, Even if they call me a clown,

Even if my compass looks broken to them,

I move at my own will A real-life Jack Sparrow”

- Mixtape #4 (Broken Compass)

“My time and my tempo are more valuable than gold,

I won’t follow time, you can just follow me”

Regardless of what others may think, he confidently walks his own path. These moments truly showcase his unwavering determination.

Changbin has become an official meme in the K-pop community with the term ‘Jutdaejwa,’  to the point where almost everyone in the K-pop industry knows about it. He confidently displays his humor and wit without hesitation or awkwardness.

Thanks to Changbin’s confidence in delivering punchlines, numerous memes have emerged among K-pop fans. Following ‘Jutdaejwa,’ he gave birth to another K-pop meme called ‘Eomma Eomma-jwa’ (meaning ‘Mom, Mom-jwa’). This meme originated from Changbin’s witty remark, where he changed the lyrics, ‘Oh my, oh my God,’ of the song ‘OMG’ by New Jeans to ‘Eomma Eomma-ga’ (meaning ‘Mom, Mom did’) after asking the question, ‘Who gave birth to someone this pretty?’

Wouldn’t Changbin’s fearlessness in making others laugh, along with his confidence, is providing a delightful energy to many? Of course, his sense of humor also plays a significant role.
