8 Misheard K-Pop Lyrics Pt. 2

As we established on the first installment of misheard K-pop lyrics, international fans often struggle with understanding songs. Not only are they in an entirely different language, but most often than not, they are also adorned with a few English words here and there. And while this lets us English speakers sing along to some parts of a song, it also opens the door for misinterpretation. I mean really, who hasn’t sung something thinking it’s in English only to realize it’s actually Korean, and, yes, in some cases, the other way around? Here are a few of our misconceptions:

2. f(x) Zig Zag

What we heard: “Tik tok, tik tok”
