As international fans, messing up the lyrics to our favorite K-pop songs comes with the welcome package when you join the fandom. And only if you learn Korean and get pretty good at it, it’s probably a permanent malady. Because not only are we hearing English lyrics when it’s actually Korean and vice versa, but sometimes we even mess up words that are in our native language. That’s why it’s key to read up on the lyrics. But in the meantime, here’s another round of lyrics we misheard.

1. “In Your Eyes” by Onew

What we heard: “Your money”
What it says: “Yongwhonhi”

misheard kpop lyrics songs

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.

1. “1llusion” by Dok2

What we heard: “Is it Ilsan? Is it really Ilsan? Let me know it’s Ilsan if it’s really ill”

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 Pt. 2

/in /by

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:

1. EXO-K History

What we heard: “Break it, you’re my Givenchy”
What it says: “Break it! Yongmangui banchik”

2. f(x) Zig Zag
