To Clarify: Jenna Ushkowitz IS Korean, but she does not know how to speak it fluently. She was adopted as a baby and was raised by American parents. Considering Jenna had to learn how sing this number in a foreign language she doesn't know she did a great job.

@alexanderzschusschen8300

Isabel Salazar I love Jenna but I could tell right away that Korean is not her first language. The pronouncciation is really bad. 😭

@koroniriaryder4410

@Isabel Salazar nah dude the pronunciation is blatantly terrible, but in a song like this how else was it gonna turn out? Lol

@xxx.x.x.x3921

@user-xp7zg9kw7c

As i'm Korean, Her pronounciation is pretty good to hear clearly
