Konglish Lesson #2

Konglish of the day: pop song (pronounced "pahp song")

I had thought Koreans really liked pop songs over other genre when they said they liked "pop songs". It turns out that Koreans refer to any English song as a "pop song"…

"Even though I don't understand the lyrics, I like pop songs"

"Rob, you probably only sing pop songs at karaoke"

"Where do you go download pop songs?"

  1. Isn't "pahp" rice? The start of a busines opportunity? "Get a cup of rice with each purchase of a Britney Spears single."
