Wrong interpretation. I will make you jo dada means I will make you dance very well. What interpretation is this lol?
“Oni reason” has nothing to do with boy. She ‘s saying there’s a reason they call me honey. Oni means there is. There is a reason they call me honey most likely because she makes sweet songs.
Thanks for the translation
