As people of America might already know, K-pop songs sometimes has English lyrics to it. Nowadays, K-pop songs don't only have English lyrics but even lyrics in other languages like Spanish or Portuguese. For example, a popular girl group called GFriend released their debut song Me Gustas Tu which is Spanish for I like you. Other older K-pop groups are following that trend as well like Super Junior with Mamacita, and Lo Siento, IU with Havana, and U-Kiss with Te Amo or even KARD with Hola Hola. From OG groups like Super Junior to the latest hot group like KARD, K-pop is slowly globalizing to accommodate their fans world-wide.

Oh wow. I love this! I knew about English used in K-pop songs but not Spanish, so this is new to me. I really like the videos you used in there and the change of color and pics with it.
ReplyDeleteI really love that they used Spanish in there. I would like to maybe hear Italian and Maybe Arabic too? It kind of reminds me of the idea of duets between artists from different countries, which you know a song collaboration and each artist sing it in their language. One that came to my mind right away is the one I mentioned in previous comment - by Alex's band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VUrnk1mO70
