To be honest, I understand Japanese quite well, Korean, almost not at all. BLACKPINK songs do not sound right to me in Japanese. I have seen BP live twice in Japan, and as great as they were in concert….and they are fantastic LIVE. I would have preferred the Korean versions! But congrats girls, on the love and support you receive and deserve!
