Bad Engrish in Asian music is not uncommon. In fact, bad English and Asian people generally go hand-in-hand.
But what bothers me most is when a Korean idol group promotes a song which has atrocious grammar and syntax (or just uses plain wrong English words) .... with an English speaker within the group.
This member is usually fluent as well as they have studied or grew up in an English (as the first language) speaking country (ie. America, Canada, etc...). To me, this does not make sense. Sometimes, Korean is their second language. So how can one royally fuck up in their first language?
For example (the name in brackets is the name of the person in the group who allegedly speaks English. Which is now put in question):

"Just wanna feeling my heart!"
I thought GP Basic's Engrish was horrible and now I get this. Jesus Hubbard Christ. I'm honestly trying not to cry.
Wind Hold Venus (shitty name in itself...) is apparently the female counterpart to CN Blue, although for what reason I can't really imagine. I don't see much focus on the instruments at all. Their debut song was a resounding letdown. As I've mentioned, their Engrish is absolutely horrible; I fail to understand how "call me" can be pronounced "curry." God dammit, entertainment businesses need to stop incorporating a shitload of English in idol songs if the members can't pronounce the words (not like the words make sense anyway, but still.) And while I'm not a very big fan on CN Blue, at least they don't autotune the fuck out of their songs.
Autotune+Engrish = RAGEQUIT. I couldn't even finish the video. Watch it if you enjoy torturing your eardrums. Sorry for lack of text but I'm off to seek therapy; I think I've been scarred for life.
-edit: I forgot to mention that a lot of their Korean is very off as well... this is probably worse than 5doll's "Hey, You, Maria." Sorry, "I Mean You." (It's a Korean thing.)
