[theqoo] K-IDOLS WITHOUT KOREANS, "YOU NEED TO SING IN KOREAN TO BE CONSIDERED REAL KPOP"

[...]

Some people ask them, "Why the hell are you guys doing K-pop?" Recently, in the music industry, there is also a debate on whether a group without Koreans can really be called a K-pop group. However, the group said, "If you show a great song and dance in Korean, that's K-pop. Do I need any more explanation?” they asked. Shreya said that she studied traditional and modern dance in India and prepared to become a Bollywood backup dancer. “I was surprised when I first saw a K-Pop stage, which showcases intense choreography and singing at the same time. Actually, in Bollywood, singing and dancing areas are all separated. It felt like I had discovered a new opportunity.”

It was not an easy choice. At the beginning of their activities, they went to and from makeup shops to find a makeup that suited their face tone. Gabi said, “Fatou unnie has to wear the darkest color in the shop, and I have to wear the brightest color, but they didn’t have any cosmetics for us.” “K-pop's identity is, of course, Korean”. “While studying Korean, there are still many difficult things about honorific words and everyday expressions that are still hard for me.” Fatou laughed, saying, “The other members learn Korean through books, so honorifics are fine, but I learned it from my friends.” However, Shreya is an exception. She said “There are four honorifics in Indian language. For among ourselves, people a year younger, people of higher rank, and public speaking styles are all different. It’s fortunate that Korea onlt has one.”
