Well, the context is important. In Korean, it's a word.

I don't think you really taught him the actual slur so long as he knows how to use the lyrics in the correct context

Exactly the word means “you” or is a way of referring to oneself in Korean, it’s not a slur at all. It’s important to separate Korean from other languages when listening to kpop. Yes some of the songs are a mix of Korean and English, but it’s important to make this distinction.

And it's important to realize the world doesn't stop with them and their son an offended child or school nun isn't necessarily going to make this distinction. They're right to try and get ahead of it before something harmless becomes an issue through misunderstanding.
