Do you like it when idols sing in English?

Depends on song I guess, Nobody sounds great in both English and Korean, same with the Boys. The feels is also a bop as is Monsta X Hold my Heart and Loona Star/Voice.

Mixing English with Korean lyrics is heavenly, one of my fave aspects of Kpop.

But i wish idols got better training when it comes to pronouncing English words, especially English only songs.

ETA: Also there are several Twice English versions that sound just as good or better than their Korean versions. Cry For Me, More and More, and I Cant Stop Me.

I don't really mind. I listen to a lot of songs from k-acts, if i like it i like it no matter what the language is. Some of the English songs that I like: The Feels, Crazy Over You, Middle of the Night, and weirdly enough ITZY's title tracks english version (i like the korean versions too but they pulled off the english versions well).

everyone should hear the English version of Levanter

only if they are good at it , that's it

I hate KPop songs sung in English when the lyrics are pronounced poorly. It's not even worth doing at that point. It's cringe.

On a related note, I think a big reason for BP and SM groups are international success is their songs are directly translatable to English. Teddy has lived in the US most of his life since a young age and SM hires western producers to write many of their artists' songs.

Only if they have a good enough grasp of the language to sound convincing.

Half the time it seems like idols are merely memorising sounds with little to no idea what they're saying. And then their pronunciation gets worse and worse over time until it's mostly gibberish.

If an idol speaks English, awesome, go for it, but if they don't... I don't know... I guess it makes me feel embarrassed on their behalf? I just feel really uncomfortable.

i dont care. If the song sounds good its good

it doesn't matter

Yes I don't any problem with it...

i literally mourn the fact that baekhyun was born korean every single day because of this

Well maybe more now that im a military wife but like point still stands 🕳🚶‍♀️
