K-Netizens Can’t Get Over How Inaccurate Bubble Translations Can Be
K-Pop fans know how unreliable fan community platform app translations can be, but sometimes they can be taken way out of context! An online community board post recently gained attention for a mistranslation of Red Velvet Irene’s Bubble message.
I’m into Banh Mi these days so I’m eating one a day.
Mistranslation: I’m into anti-Americanism these days, so I’m eating one a day.— Red Velvet’s Irene
Netizens that saw the translation could not believe what they were reading.
- “OMG crazy lololol.”
- “What the…”
- “I laughed so hard I almost died from choking on my own spit.”
- “Holy moly..”
- “Wait…what the hell…how does it translate to that.”
- “Banh mi….”
- “Are they crazy lol.”
Seeing this, netizens recalled other legendary mistranslations from Bubble from other artists.
For me, it was so delicious.

Stray Kids also had a never-ending saga of Bubble mistranslations.

Am I a cute dog?
Mistranslation: Am I a shit dog?
What do I eat?

Even Weverse had their share of mistranslations.

We don’t know how it can get this out of context, but hopefully they find a way to fix this soon!
