Nega Korean Song

[Brinda]

Whoathese words when sang or rapped in KPop or KHipHop are often mistaken for THE N-word. Now, for the few that may not know what THE N-word is, it a highly offensive word used to insult, belittle or degrade someone who is black. It is often used by individuals as a racial slur to express hatred and bigotry. It is a word that for the most part, only used in the English language and originated in North America more than 150 years ago. It is often used in popular rap and hip hop music by black American artist. Yet, to most, it is still an inflammatory word not to be used, especially by someone that is not black and of the culture.

Here is an example of the use of the above words in one of the most iconic songs in KPop. The song is Sorry, Sorry by OG mega group Super Junior. In the chorus alone naega, nega is used approximately 7 times, not counting the rest of the verses. Just imagine hearing this song for the first time with no context.
