personally very disappointed with the direction that the group i stan is heading towards… despite these english tracks being somewhat successful, i see disappointed fans—the same fans who carry these comebacks to success. i think it’s more of the fans’ loyalty that gets them by rather than the fans truly enjoying the music. i’ve been seeing so many english-speaking stans comment that they’re disappointed with their almost full english tracks.
honestly, their being korean is part of their charm. they’re themselves (not to mention cute) when they express themselves confidently. they look pitiful and frustrated when they are unable to communicate with their fans.
going back to their songs, their english sounds so unnatural and incomprehensible—no matter the effort they put. so why force it? not to mention the lyrics being cringe and ends up ruining the flow.
i understand that their company wants to cater to the west, but in reality it’s their korean songs that brought them their popularity there. full english tracks from kpop groups barely make noise in the west, not unless you are BTS or BP so i think these other groups should just stick to their initial formula. might help with their idols’ confidence too and cause less anxiety when performing.
let’s face it, kpop groups with english-speaking members are the key to the west NOT english tracks.
