okay bc im genuinely curious:

english-speaking kpop fans, if there's an english version of a song (that was released first/primarily in korean, NOT an english song put out only in english) by a kpop artist, do you usually listen to the english version or the korean version? and do you speak english as your native language or as a second/third language?

#rb and leave your top eng versions (or hot takes on eng versions) in the tags if u so choose <33 #talk #polls #mine #kpop #ex: for me i usually exclusively listen to the kor vers bc those tend to come out weeks/months before the eng vers #so im used to singing/half-singing along to those and then the eng vers doesnt sound right to me #the only exceptions being regular by nct 127 and levanter by skz #those just get me just right mhm #but like not even love talk lol i listen to the original even tho its the eng vers thats the most streamed nct song #also eng versions tend to fall in like the uncanny valley of language for me?#like they technically make sense grammatically but thats not really how those words would be used #idk its probably the former english major in me #also somebody has probably done a poll on this before apologies to them if so but im doing my own
