Haechel is BACK to try to guess the English Kpop lyric by the first letter of each word of the lyric, but this time there are NO RULES! We were tired of the RIGID STRUCTURE and AGONIZINGLY LONG episodes whenever we played this game, so we decided that the only rule is to HAVE FUN and if that means basically telling the other person the words so that they are able to guess the lyric, then so be it! Play along by checking the chapter titles for the letters and trying to guess the English lyrics and which Kpop song they are from. Let us know if you could guess the lyrics before we could in the comments!Like, subscribe, comment, and stay meowin'!
