Where would we be 1


Where would we be without English subtitles.
It a serious question and I've been thinking about it a lot. Honestly, I don't speak Korean, I plan on moving to Japan, so I am learning Japanese.  And I don't know what the songs mean without them.

But there are people who's native language is English that speak Korean, obviously. But there are also people who don't speak Korean like me that would probably not like k-pop without the subs, or is that just me?

There are songs like Don't Spray Perfume that are great until you know what it's about, and you could be completely oblivious to the actual meaning- which is a terrible meaning- without them. Its just a thought, but it means a lot.

On another note, with the subtitles awesome translators provide for us we can learn more about our favorite bands, like how Teen Top are all cheaters  -shot- and that BAP (Dancing in the Rain) are really just perverts, same with Super Junior-H. Frankly, I dont think k-pop would be as big without them.

Maybe is is just me and I am writing this for nothing, but I really truly think that people like me wouldn't have the understanding that we do without it. Including just regular lyric sheets, think about it.

Sorry for the short post, I plan on doing more on these, just don't feel like writing so much when I need to finish a fiki chapter xD!
