English dub ‘The Glory’ draws attention for its ‘konglish’ moment

Fame is part of Netflixthe most successful K-Drama Originals to date. Due to the worldwide attention, the drama was not only subtitled in different languages, but also dubbed.

Most English dubs for Korean dramas sound rather clunky. Rather than the script not being translated well, the voice-overs sometimes lack the necessary acting tone and are less satisfactorily worded than the original. Check out the English dub Squid Game under.

On the other hand, the English dub of The Glory is going viral among Koreans because of the “konglish” moment, which only makes the dub sound more natural. A tweet comparing the Japanese and English dubs quickly went viral with over 2 million views.

The Japanese dub only refers to Yeonjin as “Yonjin», staying with the pure name. The English dub released a “Yeonjin-ah” at the end. Since English usually doesn’t have the “-Ah” Being Korean, many were surprised when it showed up. Some wondered if they hired a Korean-American to do the voice acting. The natural pronunciation also impressed many.
