New Champ - Okaka Chuka (Feat. Yoon Macho) cover

Soccer player Okaka Chuka responds to New Champ’s track ‘Okaka Chuka’

As part of his weekly project, New Champ released the track ‘오카카추카 (Okaka Chuka) (Feat. 윤마초)’ about a month ago. The Italian international who currently plays for Belgian club Anderlecht has now reacted to the song with a video message.

New Champ’s ‘Okaka Chuka’ starts like this:

“If you ask me what Okaka Chuka means, I don’t know either
I coincidentally saw the soccer player Okaka Chuka’s name on Naver
when this beat was playing
and my subconscious told me that I should use the name ‘Okaka Chuka’ in the song
So I started writing lyrics right away”

Overall, the lyrics are made up of lots of words that contain the syllables “ka/ga” and “chu,” for example: “chuka” (축하, congratulations), Pikachu, Raichu, KakaoTalk, “chin-gu chuga” (친구추가, adding a friend).

Here is Okaka Chuka’s video message (in Italian, with Korean subtitles):

He says: “Hi New Champ! I found out recently that you’ve written a song for me using my name. I am very happy and wanted to thank you and all your fans and hope to see you (New Champ and Yoon Macho) soon. Asia is very fascinating to me and I hope to go there soon to meet you. Keep it up, I will too, and I look forward to meeting you. A big hug, bye everyone!”

Fans reacted impressed, amused, and amazed to the message, expressing their envy and congratulations (chuka) to New Champ.
