But I am most certainly not blaming the members at all. After all, English isn't Bangtan's first language and some fans also tend to feel like any criticism about the lyrics is a criticism of the members. This is an unpopular opinion because most fans don't usually mind or even notice these "mistakes". Sleep Deez said that he liked the way the final lyric sounded as well. Interestingly, Sleep Deez who produced the track mentioned in an interview that the line could have been slightly corrected (to make more sense I suppose) but they chose to go for the sound, rather than correctness based on JK's recommendation. It should have been "Am" instead of "Can" at the very least. I wish the company would provide him with more support in this respect.Īnother example is the chorus in JK's My Time when he goes "Can I someday finna find my time?" I know finna means gonna (getting ready to?) but even if it were written as gonna, "Can I someday gonna find my time" doesn't make any sense. Sidenote: Joon is definitely the best in the team but there's too much pressure on him to be perfect in English (from lyric writing to speaking) when he too is still a learner, though an advanced one. One example is Joon's verse in Heartbeat when he says "But you designate me and you resume me" but he pronounces it as resumé, which to me seems like he was attempting a rhyme between "designate" and "resumé" without realising resume and resumé are two different things. I'm looking more at the use of English phrases or lines in their songs. I think that belongs in a different discussion about whether the lyrics in Dynamite/Butter/PTD match up to the lyrics of their Korean, and even their Japanese discography. I'm not talking about their English-language songs per se. Please note that this poll is not about English songs but about English lyrics in songs.Īm I the only one who wishes HYBE would get a native English editor (Idk what the role would actually be) who are also well-versed in Korean onboard to check the members' English lyrics on group and solo projects more? I've noticed several 'errors' that in the larger scheme of things don't matter but still strike me as odd or wrong when I listen to it. This post is no way is to shame the members at all and is solely about my frustration with the company. I'm writing this as an ARMY so my examples will all be BTS related.
