My favorite Kpop group, 2ne1, just came out with a new song, "Hate You." 2ne1 is awesome; they're like the Destiny's Child of Korea. What I mean by that is that they're all very tough and their songs reflect that. I looked up the translation of "Hate You" and it goes something like, You suck, you're always lying to me, I got sick of it so I left you, you're just a waste of time, now that I've gotten rid of you I feel so much better.
I attached the full lyrics in case anyone cares.
Anyway, the main reason I bring this up is because yesterday Kevin, the King of Kpop, told me he was singing this song in the teachers' lounge ("practising [sic, he's English] the lyrics, you know") when one of the teachers told him he was saying a bad word. Turns out the easiest part of the song, jae jae jae jaesu obseo, means b**ches... Therein lie the dangers of singing along with foreign lyrics.
