You don't have to learn the language to be able to sing along.
Just learn the lyrics. That's what I do, at least.
For me, I wanted to learn Seventeen's Pretty U right? I went to youtube, found a romanized lyric video and practiced the song for like 30 minutes and when I had the lyrics and pronounciations down, I went through it all over again and when you keep doing this for diff songs then eventually you'll get the hang of it.
Laughs in brazilian
Lesserafim fans don't need to worry about these things i guess

Interesting, the thing is I have tried this. I can very easily do the same for a Japanese song but that's because I at least know the phonetics of the language. And from watching 100s of subtitled anime. I don't actually know what they are saying, but I can sing along. Same with Spanish since I learned that throughout grade school.
I struggle to do the same with Korean which is why I mentioned at least learning some basics, maybe I'm just not trying hard enough lol.
Thinking about how there are some foreign language songs that I like, but whenever I try to sing those songs, I end up mumbling, singing gibberish or something.
But of course, learning the lyrics makes it easier.
Reminds me of when I would record myself singing some kpop song or something and would look at the lyrics while singing.
Despite the fact that there is one song in my native language that I have a problem singing the chorus of for some reason.

Ohh, I see.
I'd say listen to a few songs and note some common words across all of them. That could help..I think.

I have the same problem with Korean for some reason. There are a few songs that are easy for me to imitate, but often I'm lost. I guess maybe the pace is too fast then and I can't distinguish the words without knowing some phonetics.
I learned the alphabet some time ago and it helps identifying groups, song names and idol names.
I'd like to get more into it, because I do think it's a beautiful language.
I do sing along to them, just as I sing along to songs in other foreign languages too. I naturally mimic sounds and I pick up phonetics easily, which can mask my actual ability in the language. I sound way more fluent than I am. It's also easier to mimic while signing a set song, than actually conversing which requires more than surface knowledge.
That said, I actually learned some Korean along the way too, though far less than my ability to reproduce "sounds" that sound like the lyrics.
I can't sing anyway so it doesn't matter lol
Tbh I sing along either way even if I'm just saying gibberish
I'm tone deaf on the output side so my singing is ass
First time I sang a song in Korean was in 2017 from Kdrama OST! At that time I didn’t know a thing about Korean, but I liked a lot of osts from the kdrama that I watched, and I didn’t know that lyric videos or texts existed! So I played the song and just wrote what I heard on notebook, and in 20 minutes I got handwritten lyrics 😅! Then I played osts on repeat and sang along then I learned those osts entirely! Then I learned to read and write Korean letters myself, and my pronunciation became nearly native, tho I don’t know Korean lol😅
Now I don’t even look up to lyrics, I just play the song several times and my brain picks up most of the words
