B. Research Subjects
For conducting the study, the writer needed subject to be investigated. In this study the writer employed 20 videos to be examined. In this video, South
Korean singers sang English song. The songs are originally sung by western singers, such as Jason Mraz, Ne-Yo, Erick Clapton, etc. There were 19 songs. 2
songs were sung by 3 different groups, 1 by 2 groups. They were Glen Hasards Falling Slowly which was sung by Super Junior, 2AM and CN Blue, Neyos So
Sick was sung by 2AM, CN Blue and SHINee, and Jason Mrazs Lucky was sung by CN Blue and SHINee. The videos are in type of live-performance videos,
where the singers do live performance without any manipulation or lip-sync because the videos are parts of television or radio program. The live performance
videos was chosen because the writer wanted to see the singers’ pronunciation in the real condition where nobody created the condition. The videos were chosen by
year of performance randomly. The videos were from 2009 until 2011. In addition, the singers in the videos were chosen with some purposes
based on the background of the singers. They are singers from the most famous groups, three boy bands and one group band; those are Super Junior, SHINee, CN

36 Blue, and 2 AM. They are chosen because they are in international market.
Besides, each group has their own background. The first group, Super Junior is a male group consists of 13 members. They could be said as senior group because
the group had done debut in 2005. The range age of this group is between 24 to 30. On the other side, SHINee debuted in 2008. This male group consists of 5
members ranging in age between 19 and 23. Both groups first debuted in South Korea then go internationally, such as Japan, Taiwan, Paris, and many more. The
third group, CN Blue which consists of 4 members in range of age from 19 to 23 years old do their debut for the first time in the Japan in 2009. Because their debut
in Japan, they usually sang song in Japanese or English instead of Korean language. The last group is 2 AM, a male group consists of 4 members which are
in age range between 20 until 29 years old which has debut in South Korea firstly and now in Asia.
The reason of choosing only boy group was the nature of Korean language speaking. In Korean there are some differences in manner of speaking between
male and female speakers. Female speakers usually use intimate language and agyeo, the cute way to express what they want to say. They also use so many
accenting in their sentences. While male speaker prefer to use formal language and reduce accenting. So, it can be said that male speakers use language which is
close to standard one.
