Seoul Birds' Group
Mr. Stork has entered the chat.
Bae-B
What up?!
Well, well. If it isn't Mr. Popular!
Bae-B
Mr. Stork, my man! I got myself a new nickname!
Bae-B! It's sweet, right?!
That's stylin'! By the way, I heard you landed the spot as the STO Smart Digital Guide ?!
Bae-B
Seems like the folks over at STO know quality when they see it!
You went and got all famous on me now!
Bae-B
I was always popular for being so cute, but now I seem to be the focus of all this attention... Life is so hard, ya know?
And to think, you used to have trouble keeping up with me...
Bae-B
What's that supposed to mean?!
Times have changed, man!
Times may have changed, but it's the truth!
You're just a tiny bird at 13 cm. I can get tall as 112 cm. Of course you'd lag behind!
Bae-B
Pfft... Finished bragging yet?
I may be a lot smaller, but I'm more popular than you'll ever be!
Whatever - Hey, who's that?
If I look up your kind of bird on the Internet, this guy gets a lot of hits. More than you!
Bae-B
Argh! That's my cousin, the White Fairy Wren . His feathers are all white.
He'll stop by Seoul sometimes during the winter, but he's always on the move.
As for me, I'm the real thing! I don't migrate anywhere. They call me a White-winged Fairy Wren . People even having sayings about me!

Aren't I cute?
You stay only in Korea? That's news to me!
Bae-B
Well, that's because I spend most of my time laying low in the thicket.
I'm actually just as common in Korea as all those sparrows flying around!
Jeez. Someone's touchy... Just so you know, you're looking at a natural monument right here in front of you.
I can almost see that glaring look (뱁새눈) in your eyes!
Bae-B
Okay, funny guy! How many times do I have to tell you - My eyes are nothing like that!

LOL
Okay, sure. Whatever, hahaha
By the way, I heard BTS was the reason for your being a hot item all of a sudden.
Bae-B
So, you do know about that! What else have you been hiding that you already know?!
I just heard it is all. Even I get a mention in the lyrics!
(We're just baep-sae) We don't disappoint (We're just baep-sae) It's all we are (We're just baep-sae) Come along with us (We're just baep-sae) Little Baep-sae I'm just a tiny bird next to you, the stork And all you do is throw that in our faces
* Lyrics are directly translated to maintain context
See?!
Bae-B
Are you, by chance, an ARMY member, too?!
I admit it, though. That song by BTS, Baepsae, is what made me a hit!

So, what do ya think? If BTS puts me in their song, it's no wonder I was picked to be the STO Smart Digital Guide, am I right?!
Look at you all successful in the big city!
You live in the most prominent of trees over in Namsan Mountain !
And even took the throne as the official K-Bird!
Bae-B
Wait, are you finally acknowledging me?
Even after all your teasing about my being small?
Well, now that you are the Smart Digital Guide promoting the STO,
it's time I pay respect where it's earned!
Bae-B
Of course it is!
Ya know, I may be small, but I'll be the best spokesbird ever for the STO!
In part, you also helped me get to where I am! I'll never forget that, buddy!
Sure thing! So where will you be making an appearance at?
