There are beats, but they don't sound anything like Merseybeat. Some Asianness (or Afro-Asianness) in the chant, but not '67 psychedelic Asianness. I checked the translation at pop!gasa, and the lyrics mention the beat but not the Beatles.

I guess the idea is that they want to be global icons. Like the Beatles. Still...

I take it that the visual concept is "tomboy"! Or maybe even "Lipstick Tomboy."

Strange.

Wouldn't bet on success, though the brief squibs on allkpop make me think that GI are aimed internationally, not trying to get a base in Korea first. Korea will be an international selling point. Someone thinks they're commercially viable. I don't think the track is strong enough. But it is enjoyable, you're right.
