K-pop Hit Features Boxing Legend's Catchphrase

The newest mini-album from a prominent K-pop group dropped on Friday, including four new tracks and a previously released song. The lead single, "GO," notably incorporates the distinct sound of boxing announcer Michael Buffer's famous battle cry, "Let's get ready to rumble." This recognizable phrase is sampled at the beginning of the energetic track.

Although the extent of Buffer's direct involvement was brief, his contribution has earned him a spot in the official song credits. Buffer, known for his work in boxing, has a history of lending his voice to various media, including commercials, films, and even music, having previously appeared on Tupac Shakur's track "Ambitionz Az A Ridah."

The single's accompanying music video has achieved viral success on YouTube. Within just 10 hours of its release, the video garnered an impressive 13 million views, highlighting the song's widespread appeal and the group's significant global fanbase.
