8 Misheard K-Pop Lyrics Pt. 5

misheard kpop k pop lyrics words wrong korean

As we’ve talked about previously, as foreign K-pop fans, sometimes we don’t get the lyrics right. We’ve gone through this on multiple installments of this list, but for the fifth, it seems we got a bit hostile. Either by [content warning] hearing bad words or completely interpreting a good message as a bad one. So here it goes again: here are the latest eight songs we misheard.

1. “Hello” by B.I.G

What we heard: “I’m a lady”
What it says: “I’m a like it”

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

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”
