About the Song
《War of Hormone (호르몬 전쟁)》 is a playful and high-energy track by BTS from Dark & Wild, released in 2014 through BIGHIT MUSIC. Built around youthful impulse and restless attraction, the song is widely associated with a songwriting team that includes Pdogg, RM, SUGA, j-hope, and other key BTS collaborators, turning exaggerated teenage emotion into something loud, cheeky, and instantly catchy. With its infectious hook, mischievous energy, and unmistakable early-era charm, 《War of Hormone (호르몬 전쟁)》 stands out as one of BTS’s most memorable and entertaining youthful tracks, and I would strongly recommend it to listeners who enjoy the group at their most playful, bold, and full of attitude.

My testosterone is heavily increasing
After winning the fight with hormones
Studying you, you’re a foul, a violation
If beauty standards are the sea, you’re extreme
A cultural asset that should be managed by the nation
Her head, body, waist, legs, even unspeakable areas
Saying I’m not interested is unbelievable as a man
Even a small gesture makes me fall
Girl, your temptation keeps me at my computer every night
For her, lady first
Are girls cold icebergs? Let it go
After winning the fight with hormones
Studying you, you’re a foul, a violation
If beauty standards are the sea, you’re extreme
