Hindi music, particularly Bollywood tracks, also find favor among some K-pop fans. Even non-native speakers are drawn to the rhythmic and melodic nature of Bollywood music, often through shared experiences with family or cultural events.
Japanese and Beyond
Some K-pop fans are so engrossed in Japanese pop culture that they can surprise themselves with their language skills during certain songs. Artists like #8217;Xh and Yaosobi are examples of artists that can test one's language proficiency.
