What are they trying to say?

Most recently, ILLIT’s choreographer posted an Instagram story that one could understand.

“Being serious instead of something popular. Rather than acting like a trend, can a trend driven by consumption be a part of daily life and become natural rather than forced retro?

I couldn’t hold it in and talked about this with back dancers of 30 years and 27 years. To the bosses born in the 70s, we are sick of the forced retro trend.”

30 years ago. A hyung that worked with Kim Gun Mo (singer) also said that the cramming/forced retro style wasn’t good.

However, netizens felt that the grammar was off and had no clue what the intention of the post was.

• “Just say it’s like sh*t. They’re trying too hard to sound eloquent.”
• “Are you sure they’re Korean? What are they trying to say.”
• “When do the lawsuit results come out. All these people who are going overboard need to be cut.”
• “Just go to sleep if you are drunk. It doesn’t look like they wrote it with a clear mind.”
• “Why are they assessing the trends? Trends are evaluated by the public. Just your typical stubborn producer mindset. Of course, there’s always someone like this, no matter the workplace.”
• “If you want to change the trend, you must work harder. Why are you mad that people chose this trend and not something else? It’s what the consumers want.”
• “Did they write this while drunk? What are they saying?”
• “Why are they suddenly talking about Kim Gun Mo?”

Netizens were still so confused, they took to ChatGPT to see if they could get a better understanding. Here is the answer they received.

“Of course. Here is the meaning in short.

Currently, the retro trend that is being forced to become popular feels boring. It’s because people are not taking it in naturally and are trying to force the trend. I had a conversation with a friend who had worked as a back dancer for 30 years, and they also said that they didn’t like the forced retro trend. They are sick of the forced retro trend made by CEOs born in the 70s. Another friend who worked with Kim Gun Mo 30 years ago said the forced retro isn’t good.

This message is trying to express the repulsion of the forced retro trend. They express their struggle with people trying to artificially create trends rather than accepting them naturally.”

Netizens were shocked at the power of ChatGPT and could finally understand what they were trying to convey.

• “Wow AI is better than humans.”
• “Wow they organized the wording better.”
• “Oh!”
• “I couldn’t understand the original post even after reading if 5 times, but I understood it right away with the ChatGPT wording.”
• “Check your work through ChatGPT before posting from now on.”
• “What’s with their Korean skills. I have no idea what they are saying. What’s with that company’s team…”
• “Eureka!”
• “Wow that’s a great translation.”
• “Wow I totally understand after reading the ChatGPT version.”
