Do u hate English versions of Kpop songs? (1 Viewer)

[IZONE]

I really hate it so much. I prefer the original version much more.

 

[LeeHoseok]

It depends on the song and how well the English version was written. There are several I really like.

 

[AmysTeri]

Most of the time, yes. But sometimes they come out well, like Weki Meki's "Cool."

 

[Wingfrost]

Most of the time I don’t like them

 

[VillageIdiot]

The only decent one I've heard is Bad Boy

 

[Willow]

They are flops, mostly because I don't understand the lyrics and the accent sounds pretty bad generally

 

[blueberries]

Depends on song, there is some I really like and then some that are just mess.

Mostly the lyrics are written to reflect Korean versions, and more often than not it ends up being catastrophic because Korean uses way more adjectives than English. However, some of them are great, like Monsta X, Red Velvet, ITZY and (G)I-DLE. It really helps when members properly pronounce English. I was amazed with how good ITZY sounded on all of their releases.

No

The only ones I've found to like were the ones by Day6. It helps they have English speakers, but Young K also said he re-writes the songs so the lyrics fit better rather than just a direct translation.
