To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

You mean how every group has done so far with just translating their korean songs into japanese. Isn't that surprising that we now see a japanese song translated into korean.
But I gotta agree that it's a bit boring, at least this means no more The Boys so i'm satisfied.
My friends entered some contest for Wondergirls... have a look!
here's the original:
..and now that's out of the way... man I don't understand the hype behind kpop/hayllu ;; as a korean myself im like semi-embarassed there's a mix of english in their songs lol

As an non-Korea fluent English speaker, I'm embarrassed that there's a mix of English and Korean in Kpop songs.

Advertising for a contest entry. Advertising for a contest entry in a kpop contest. Take a disparaging stance towards kpop in a predominantly kpop thread.
You seem to be doing things wrong on multiple levels. Congrats.

As someone who posts in the kpop thread, I'm embarrassed that you don't know how to use spoilers.
And to the spoilered quoted post: Also what's wrong with English? It broadens the appeal of the songs for one thing. There are lots of countries in Asia where they speak English to some extend, and it probably helps the popularity of groups in those countries quite a lot to have English in their songs.

As a KMD reader i'm embarrassed that people still can't spoiler youtube videos and pictures.
I'm fine with english being added in korean songs as long as it's done in a good way and isn't just nonsense. Even though lines like "ez access line" are quite hilarious.

there's nothing principly wrong with it- it's just that culturally, in korea, english is seen more as a academic subject rather than something you would use at a friendly day to day basis kind of thing. it's awkward because these performers cater to domestic fans whose views on english are of what i said. to some koreans using english could be somewhat of a turn off
im sure foreign fans take liking to it to some degree, but to a korean it's like 'oh hey watch me say the only english words i know of!'
and with me also being fluent in japanese it's horrendous to see some of these performers use japanese.. jesus christ lol
