It’s been two years since Super Junior M’s Henry released Fantastic, but the violin-laden pop track is still a thrill to catch live.

Objective: Scan the chorus while listening for useful vocabulary

Let’s pick out some useful words from the chorus, starting at 1:51 in the MV. If you can read hangul, try to read along. If you can’t, don’t worry, the vocab that’s highlighted is also given below with a rough pronunciation.
더 좋은 남자가 되고 싶게 해
진짜 남자로 태어나게
이름불러준 니가
Oh! 환상적인 니가
너를 선택한 이유
삶에 가장 큰 선물
높이 끌어올리니까
It’s gonna be fantastic.
