8 Misheard K-Pop Lyrics Pt. 3

kpop korean song lyrics misheard

As if mishearing lyrics in our own native language wasn’t enough of an issue, K-pop is at a whole other level of confusion. As we’ve discussed in the first and second installments of this list, with mixing English and Korean lyrics being the norm in K-pop songs, it’s really easy to mistake Korean words for English ones and vice versa. This, of course, gives way for funny interpretations that, in some cases for fans, end up replacing the real lyrics. So, once again, here are another eight misheard K-pop lyrics.

1. Brown Eyed Girls “Sixth Sense”

What we heard: “Bitch, bitch. Guilty, guilty”
What it says: “Nun bichi, bichi. Guilty, guilty”

8 Misheard K-Pop Lyrics

One of the main problems of being an English speaking fan of K-Pop is not fully understanding Korean. Add the fact that music writers like to throw English words and phrases into the songs and you have opened the door to confusing the lyrics. We can’t be the only ones who have thought a Korean word was actually and English one or vice versa. That’s why we made a quick list of misheard K-Pop lyrics we thought meant one thing at first, but actually mean something else.

1. TVXQ! Keep Your Head Down

What we heard: “Now I’m just chillin, feel like a villain”
