YearActs picked at random while Tamar was working on this based on random metrics that made sense in her mind at the time but not worth explainingSong - Lyrics sourceAmount of entire english lines in verses based on Tamar Herman's late night reading comprehension, so please forgive me if I'm off a verse or two in some of these. If it's more than that, please message me and I'll update because even if I can't count, at least I can edit!Notes -

2018TVXQTruthhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2018/12/26/tvxq-dongbangsingi-truth/0.5The song only features English exclamations such as oh yeah, baby, and hey, so I feel like that's half a lyric idk. Also, I only picked artists who are still active so wanted TVXQ here but I really should have waited for the new album since 2018 was a lifetime ago in K-pop terms and I didn't want to include any Japanese songs, but I make the rules here so yolo. Maybe I'll update after that album is out

2007KARABreak Ithttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2016/04/02/kara-break-it/5
First non-SM idol group that came to mind that I felt really was active between 2000s and early 2020s.

2009TaeyangWedding Dresshttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2012/12/15/taeyang-taeyang-wedding-dress/2.5The only non-debut song here. I just felt like this was his earlierst big song and wanted to listen to it again to be dramatic while I sang along. The .5 is because he repeats "dress" a few times and colorcodedlyrics implies ones it's written in English rather then Korean as it is in other verses since the English word has been taken up as a loan word.

2023TaeyangVibe feat. Jiminhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2023/01/12/taeyang-taeyang-vibe-feat-jimin-of-bts/15+This song ruins my method... All other songs, the verses either where wholly in English or Korean, or split evenly. Here, there's pretty much an entire English verses with a Korean phrase tacked on so...I couldn't decide how to really count, but kept to my all English methodology. So pretty much double this.

22
2021IUStrawberry Moonhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2021/10/18/iu-strawberry-moon/0Though unlike Mia, there is some English used. Since IU has never really looked to promote in the global markets outside of Asia (Still would love to see her tour someday, though!) it's not surprising English is sparse, though in her other songs there is more usage, I just happened to pull two that are pretty lacking

2012EXO-KMAMAhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2012/04/07/exo-k-mama/17I did not count the narration, but listening to it again while I'm in the middle of watching all the Star Wars tv shows... This seriously doesn't sound as crazy as it used to now that I've been watching Dave Filoni's stuff.

2023EXO Cream Sodahttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2023/07/10/exo-cream-soda/12For this one, if a member sang a line in English even if it was silmutaneous/led into by a Korean one, I counted it as an English line.

2014SunmiFull Moon feat. Lenahttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2014/02/16/sunmi-seonmi-full-moon-boleumdal-feat-lena/23But most of that is "eh, eh"s. Without that and the Brave Bros intro, in the song itself there are only 5 English lines, all by Lena.

2016RMReflectionhttps://genius.com/Bts-reflection-lyrics13This song features a reocurring final line in English. I counted chorus repetitions for all these songs, so included it for the sake of being pedandic, but if you exclude the repetitions you only have six lines overall.

2016NCT 127Fire Truckhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2016/07/08/nct-127-fire-truck/29If you take out repeated phrases "fire truck" "what what" and "yea yea"s, it's only 7.

2018(G)I-dle LATATAhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2018/05/02/g-dle-latata/23I counted "Latata" as English here though I guess that's also up to the listener.
61
2023(G)I-dle Queencardhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2023/05/15/g-i-dle-queencard-kwinka/11.5Up to you to debate whether "퀸카" (Queencard) is a loan word, but I didn't count it as a wholly English line since it's Korean slang.
62
63
2019Tomorrow X Together어느날 머리에서 뿔이 자랐다 (CROWN)https://genius.com/Tomorrow-x-together-crown-lyrics36A lot of it is "ooh"s and "ah"s.

2022IVEElevenhttps://colorcodedlyrics.com/2021/12/01/ive-eleven/3This one surprised me. Even if I counted the 123457 line, which technically is mixed since it has one Korean word so doesn't match my perameters as I set them when looking at earlier songs, it would still only be 6!
70
2023IVE Baddiehttps://genius.com/Ive-baddie-lyrics36I decided the ba-ba's, random uh-uh, and the na-na's counted here but, if not, 25.
