“jiltuга bultaolla” 질투가 불타올라

"질투가 불타올라" means "jealousy is burning." Korean 질투 (jealousy) plus 불타오르다 (to blaze) renders possessive jealousy as literal fire, matching the song's animal conceit — 으르렁 (Growl) is the warning sound a cornered predator makes. "Growl" was the lead single of EXO's XOXO repackage (August 5, 2013), and its famous music video was shot in a single continuous take in a dimly lit warehouse, released August 1, 2013 (Wikipedia).
