8 misheard K-pop lyrics pt. 6
As long as K-pop artists put out music, the chances of foreign fans mishearing the lyrics are large. We’ve talked about it in previous installments: we think a certain line is in English, but it’s actually Korean, or it’s the other way around. Either way, in most cases, it makes for a funny experience. So let’s do this one more time and list the latest misheard lyrics.
