OHMYGOSH!!!!!! I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >.< This is a smart idea.

It's easier to learn through songs than learning it just like that. At least it stirs an interest in me.. Haha... that's smart of them

Ah? Not a bad idea actually. It's quite good since fans would be more motivated to learn!

Songs help me with learning the language. Although all songs pretty much say the same things :3

KBS global were pretty slow with this piece of news, I swear I read it like 5 days ago.

Nevertheless, its a good idea and quite an honour to those involved.

That's an interesting idea. I want this also, it sounds like it should be good ^_^

interesting idea. is it easy to learn?
