Yuna‘s rap in ITZY‘s latest song, “Mafia In The Morning” (also known as “In the morning”) has gotten a mixed response from the public due to its lyrics. The lyrics, which were written by Park Jin Young (JYP), were criticized as childish.
More like an actor than an actor, a fox that toys with a wolf. You wouldn’t be able to see a single clue, but I’m saying I have it all planned, go.
— Yuna, “Mafia In The Morning”
On a recent live stream, the girls shared that the original lyrics for the rap were just a little bit different. While Yeji acted out the choreography, Ryujin shared that the line “a fox that toys with a wolf” was actually meant to be “a fox stars in my acting“.

A follow-up from the previous line about how she acts better than an actor, a fox in Korean culture is meant to be wily and persuasive. Having a fox star in one’s acting, means that one is able to convince anyone easily!
Much befitting of the “mafia game” theme, don’t you think? Which lyrics did you like more?
