During the sessions for @bts_bighit's 'Arirang,' Jung Kook (#์ ์ ๊ตญ) blew everyone away with his uncanny facility for singing in what sounds like perfect English.
โI think my ear is good for that kind of thing. But at the end of the day...itโs a foreign language for me. I donโt want native speakers to hear me speak their language and find it uncomfortable, or dislike it, in any way. So Iโve worked very hard on it.โ
