I know we often complain about songs nowadays being 80% in english (and I usually agree) but what are some albums or songs that are fully/mostly in english yet you think work amazing that way?

I too usually prefer when songs are mostly/only korean lyrics (that’s one of the things i love about 2nd gen kpop), BUT what are some albums or songs that are fully or mostly in english yet you think work amazing that way?

mine would be:

KEY English songs (one per album usually) : every language has it’s own soundscape and musicality, and there’s something about Key singing in english that just hits different (he’s obviously amazing in korean too, but there’s a certain style or flavour that can only came out in english)

TAEMIN latest album : it’s my 2nd favourite album of 2026 so I’d never change anything about it tbh, + also the same thing I said for Key, hearing him sing fully in a different language lets us hear a different style/flavour of his singing

XLOV : in this case the songs work so well that i never realised the lyrics had very little korean until 1 year after becoming a fan of theirs (I’m not a lyrics person and english isnt my first language, so i just never noticed)

WAYV Love Talk : I usually prefer their original language versions of songs over the translated ones, but this is the exception
