“i mase jungdokdwasseo” 이 맛에 중독됐어
"이 맛에 중독됐어" (i mase jungdokdwaesseo) means "I got addicted to this taste" — 맛 (mat, "taste/flavor") is the song's central metaphor, with spiciness standing in for aespa's addictive charisma. "Spicy" was released May 8, 2023 as the lead single from their third EP My World, composed by Ludvig Evers and Jonatan Gusmark of Moonshine with Cazzi Opeia and Emily Yeonseo Kim (Wikipedia).

“aespa-ga seonjahaneun mat” 에스파가 선사하는 맛
"에스파가 선사하는 맛" (aespaga seonsahaneun mat) means "the taste aespa presents (to you)" — 선사하다 (seonsahada), "to bestow/gift," gives the line a theatrical, gift-giving tone, framing the group as serving up their flavor to the listener. It's a flex: they aren't just spicy, they're curating the experience. "Spicy" peaked at number 2 on Korea's Circle Digital Chart (Wikipedia).
