Two main points...
Engrish... ya know "Don't deny our love is R squared Pi" "Sexy free and single I'm ready to bingo" "Fantastic Elastic" the list goes on. When I first got into Kpop, the engrish was hilarious and I didn't mind it. But now a days (6 years later) I have standards I guess. I find it lazy. Especially when there's an English speaking member in the group, and/or it's a big name group/entertainment company (I'm looking at you SM -_-) Like... there's millions of native English speaking fans, Kpop is more international than ever before. 1. companies should be more diligent. 2. there's MILLIONS OF FANS. 99% of which I'm sure would be happy to check these lyrics for FREE (Including me). It's just so lazy and unprofessional to me. It can make an amazing song into a meh song.
Accents are different, people can't really help that. But I feel like they should practice their pronunciation some more.
Also. How do you feel about English in kpop? Do you hope for it? Do you not care? I've noticed I'll remember a song much better, and typically enjoy it more if there's English in the song. But I'll still love a song if there's no English. I'm just sayin, songs stick out to me with English. Which I'm sure is pretty much their purpose.
Opinions? Just wondering if I'm alone in this.
