Fishing Girls turn a ChatGPT hallucination into a rock breakup single

A fake song title that became real

Fishing Girls drop their new single 남은 건 뚱뚱 (호접뚱몽) on September 21 at noon across online music sites. The origin story is genuinely strange.

Someone queried ChatGPT about Fishing Girls in 2025. The AI hallucinated: it presented non-existent members and songs as established fact. In the process, it generated a song title, 남은 건 뚱뚱, that didn't exist anywhere. Fishing Girls took that fabricated title and made it real, completing the track as an actual new single.

Late-night snacks as a breakup metaphor

The song is a rock-genre breakup track. Its subject matter is eating habits, late-night snacks, and delivery food traces that linger after love ends. The mundane wreckage of a relationship mapped onto weight gain. The band uses the blunt keyword 뚱뚱 (fat) to carry the emotional weight of post-breakup daily life, wrapped in what they describe as their signature cheerful atmosphere.

Two lyrics land the concept directly: "You left, and I became fat" and "Love ended, but why hasn't late-night snacking ended?"

Fishing Girls put it plainly: "What remains in the place where love left could be memories or wounds. But I will say I'm fat." (The AI that hallucinated the title did not get credited as a co-writer.)

Where this lands

The single drops on online music sites at noon on the 21st.
