Do you like it when idols sing in English?

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).

i don't mind either way, i appreciate english versions of their songs, it allows me to understand the message they are trying to convey and it's great to hear something i can fully understand sometimes. it doesn't change anything for me.

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.
