My process of learning a Korean Song....

So I do sing Korean songs, but they take me forever to know because of many reasons..

I don't want to butcher the Korean language or you know... accidentally swear....



And... You know I happen to actually have a low singing voice, so if I attempt to sing girl group songs it ends quite hilariously..



Another thing is that I usually begin learning a Korean song by listening to it in 0.5 or 0.75 speed... which distorts the song a fair bit... And I usually end up learning the chorus first so everything else sounds like a made up language until I practice enough...



Finally! When I have learned the whole song and am content with it, I record it! But there are some strange questions because I am white... and singing in Korean.... And then there are some strange reactions from Koreans and other people who know me....



But all in all, the process of learning a song is quite fun, and singing in a different language is extremely hard but I feel really happy when I sing in Korean. Granted sometimes at competitions I will spend my performance worrying about mispronouncing the lyrics, or not giving enough emotion in the song, but HEY! It pays off when it comes to karaoke!

What what?!?!

Almost Forgot!

sooo I almost forgot but it's 11:24pm so technically it's still the 26th!!!!
Yeayyyyy *celebration time*
I'm in midterm/assignment season and omg sooo busy.
But I'm super excited for an event I have been working on with other executives of the Korea club!
What is going on is currently my University is in Korea Week!!! Yay! So the Korea club decided to plan a Running Man event! (jjang right? daebak!!!) And since I'm one of the main organizers I had to attend all the meetings and basically organize everything with the help of 2 other executives. One of the challenges is a Random Play Dance challenge and I had to create the music mixes for that so that each challenge of 1 minute had 4 songs in it, and then I also had to create rules for all the games, find volunteers, etc.... Sadly I'm taking a break and allowing my friends to finish up the final details ><

For now though I am attempting to write a 2 page essay on why Hsiang Tzu was unable to escape his poverty life.... Basically I need to get into the author  Lao She's mind.... Well I'm working hard on it so hopefully it turns out well!!! :)
Anyways... hmm for a clip of the day (or night technically)....
Here is a new girl group who just debuted! (the mv for the song is a bit creepy but the song is good!)
