[theqoo] THE REASON WHY BTS' ALBUM HAD ALL ENGLISH LYRICS DESPITE BEING CALLED 'ARIRANG' (DOCUMENTARY)

"Suga: Overall, there are too many English lyrics, so I think it'd be better to include more Korean, especially for the rap.

RM: Because this album needs to feel kind of authentic, and if there's too much English...

Nicole: Of course authenticity is important, but if we want the album to be more global, I think it's something we have to try.

RM: The question is how we're going to do that within this time... Realistically, we don't have enough time to completely fix the English pronunciation either.

V: (V singing in English)

RM: Hey, if you need help with pronunciation, I'll send you a voice memo.

Jungkook: (Jungkook singing in English)

The members said that, overall, there's too much English, and realistically, it's hard to get the pronunciation right in the allotted time.

But the idea was shot down because the album had to be global.

These days, people sing along even to songs in Korean, so please reconsider.

(Sorry, but is "Eomma (mom)" in English? Why use 'Arirang' when you're aiming for a global sound?)

original post: here

1. They have lost their senses. They are so stubborn...

2. They lost their sense

3. Who is Nicole? Is that a producer?

4. Sigh... I can see how frustrated the members are

5. I just saw the documentary and you can see that even when the members are sharing their opinions, they just kept being shut down. They keep insisting on being right

6. Do they think that the English lyrics were the only issues here...

7. What wrong have the members commit?

8. Yah, how is Nicole? Cut her off. She screwed them up

9. What's Nicole's role in this?

10. Even though the members took turns politely saying that the previous version was better, she insisted with a stern face and in a high-handed manner that there wasn't that much of a difference, even if that version sounded better, and pushed for the longer version of 'Arirang.'
