Iseng Cover on Youtube Instead of Viral, Rossa Officially Releases 'Hati Yang Kau Sakiti' Korean Version

Kapanlagi.com - Two months ago, Rossa covered her old song titled Hati Yang Kau Sakiti in Korean language and uploaded it on Youtube. Unexpectedly, the video went viral with two million views and received positive responses from netizens, including those from South Korea.

Feeling responsible for the cover that was considered imperfect, this Sundanese singer released an official version titled Sangcheo Badeun Maeum. Of course, with a full arrangement and more attention to pronunciation.

"I uploaded it and it went viral, because of the viralness I was like 'Oh, the quality is not about the recording quality but about my mischievousness'. So I have the responsibility to make it better and proper because there are many covers on Youtube now, including Korean YouTubers," said Rossa during the Zoom launch on Friday (14/8/2020).

In her work, Rossa asked for help from her friend's friend who is a native Korean to translate it properly. During the recording process, Rossa was assisted to ensure her pronunciation was correct.

"(Singing in Korean) is difficult, very difficult because the way of reading and then singing is also difficult. During the recording, I was helped to maintain the pronunciation correctly. Although I believe people understand because I am not Korean, but I try to maintain the words I say as best as possible so that they are heard correctly in terms of language," added Rossa.

2. Lying Down in Front of the TV

Furthermore, Rossa shared how she started covering the song 'Hati Yang Kau Sakiti' which was released eleven years ago. It turns out that it all started because of her love for Korean dramas, and at that time she was obsessed with the series 'The World of The Married'.

"While waiting for the final two episodes of 'The World of The Married', I casually called my friend who lives in Korea, and she taught me a little bit of Korean language. Honestly, when I first recorded this song, I was just lying down in front of the TV with my headphones on," reminisced the singer of the song 'Tegar'.
