🎤 Pronunciation Tips for K-Pop Auditions

If you’re an aspiring K-Pop idol planning to sing this song at an audition, mastering pronunciation is key! Here’s what you need to focus on:

“질투 나도” (jiltu nado)

  • The “ㄹ” (L/R sound) in 질투 should be lightly pronounced without rolling the tongue too much.
  • 나도 (nado) should be smooth and natural, with a connected flow between “나” and “도”.

“욕은 하지 말아 줘” (yok-eun haji mara jwo)

  • The “욕은” should sound soft and not overly emphasized.
  • The “하지 말아 줘” should have a smooth transition, with “줘” being slightly elongated for emotional delivery.

🎶 Practice Tip: Listen to the original track on repeat and record yourself mimicking the exact rhythm and intonation!
