Of course, the 'auto-translation' of say (KOREAN) HANGUL Language to ENGLISH Language ; is only as 'good' as the TRANSLATOR 'engine' software (like say GOOGLE TRANSLATE). Which is why it is *better* to have someone 'trusted' like say 1theK Firm (KR) handle it ; for *accuracy* reasons. The 'auto-translators' get 'confused' in certain ways over more 'complex' meaning intent. Which, ZICO, as a 'Social Commenter / RAPPER' ; is likely using language that *needs* to be *carefully* interpreted for TRANSLATION purposes.

I think it's unfair to expect a Korean singer to have to include English subtitles the second the mv comes out when we don't expect english singers to cater to others. I get your frustration but you're taking it a tad seriously. Also I can't help but mention that you emphasize words extremely unnecessarily. I don't think i've ever seen so many single quotation marks, asterisks, semi colons and capitalized words in a comment in my entire life. It is honestly really really awkward to read.

LOL I've noticed him/her for a while. I think it's just his/her thing to type in that weird kind of way.

There are 'private individuals' (Internet Users) who actually do PROVIDE for *free* a LOT of SUBTITLES to K-pop MVs and Dramas too. Which, you WONDER why that ZICO's *Agency* could not do a PAID business arrangement with one of them to DO THE TRANSLATION SUBTITLES for them ... 1theK Firm (KR) does get CONTRACTED (apparently) by many K-pop Firms to do SUBTITLES for them. The MV gets released, and then in about 3 days time ; the MV gets like 're-posted' on YOUTUBE *with* the SUBTITLES included in it. 1theK says in a message on their ORIGINAL MV posting that they are 'working on it' and the SUBTITLES will be done soon enough. My view, the COST in MONEY seems NOT that much ; is my GUESS on it. And also, the K-pop Groups (Solo Idols) are looking *more* to INTERNATIONAL SALES of their product too. Which, ENGLISH Language ; rightly or wrongly ; is a 'Second Language' to say a LOT of those living in EURO nations (Germany ; France ; etc) too ... And I will *agree* that USA Artists like say BRITNEY SPEARS ; should be *more open* to the idea of providing SUBTITLES in say HANGUL (KR) and ZHONGWEN (ZH = PRChina). The COST of SUBTITLES is really MINIMAL overall. And YOUTUBE *supports* SUBTITLES rather well ; using the VTT format for SUBTITLES ... Finally, I *do* get some CAPS and *ASSterisks* feedback ; IGNORE me as you choose! ...
