QuestionHow can I make up a tune for my lyrics if I wrote them in English and translated them after?Community AnswerI think the best thing to do is just start off with Korean, as making two different tunes is very difficult, but you can just use the same tune, with a little editing.

QuestionIs it possible to write a Korean song without learning the language?Community AnswerWell, no as you would need to know the language to write the lyrics. Of course you could have someone translate it for you, but the syllables will not work out right once translated. The lyrics & tune will not go together. It is actually quite difficult to translate song lyrics, so they still work with the song's music and mean the same thing.

QuestionWhat kind of dance do I have to learn to compose a KPOP song?Community AnswerYou don't need to learn dancing. But if you look at well known Korean bands/groups they have their own style of songs and dance - they have different composers and choreographers. For example BTS (BigHit ent.) is really focusing to their dance and performance and storyline of their MVs. EXO (SM ent.) has their specific melody. Also it may depend on the entertainment. For example, it may seem that WINNER and iKON (both YG ent.) have similar songs, but BIGBANG (YG ent.) do not, because they compose their songs often. Same is with choreos. If you want dance you can learn some of existing Kpop choreography and maybe you'll learn the style and then you'll be able to make your own.

QuestionWhat if I want to make a good song, but I write them in English and it takes a long time to translate into Korean?Community AnswerTake your time and do the translation correctly. Even if it takes a long time, you do not want to cut corners. If you cut corners, there will likely be mistakes and people will get annoyed and/or confused. Also, writing the lyrics in English will make it sound different; it also will not fit the correct tune once you translate. I recommend you get a Korean-to-English dictionary at your local book store and just write the lyrics in Korean.

QuestionIs it possible to translate a sentence into Korean through Google Translate and then write a song line by line?Community AnswerGoogle Translate has a lot of errors, and your song will likely not be grammatically correct or make sense to anyone who speaks Korean. But if you don't care whether it makes sense or not and just want it to sound Korean, go ahead!
