"나로 시작되는 drama" — "the drama that begins with me." The 나로 (na-ro) construction means "by me / starting from me," so the line isn't just "I'm in the drama" but "the drama originates from me" — flipping the K-drama trope of a female lead swept into someone else's story so that aespa are the origin point of the plot. It recurs as the song's thesis across the chorus and post-chorus. Contrary to a common claim, "Drama" did not top the chart in Korea: it peaked at #2 on the Circle Digital Chart after debuting at #90 (Wikipedia).
