The thrill of witnessing our beloved idols cover songs is unparalleled, primarily because it allows us to experience their unique musical interpretations. This fascination reaches new heights when they venture into performing songs in languages different from their own. They not only flawlessly navigate the linguistic challenges but also manage to convey the sentiments and essence of the songs authentically. While many idols frequently cover English songs, there's a treasure trove of non-English language covers as well.
You should check out this list of non-English covers done by idols!
(G)I-DLE Minnie - Recuérdame (Coco OST)
She flew all the way from Thailand to be one of the most successful K-Pop idols yet; it should not be a surprise to see her sing anything outside of her own language so beautifully. Spanish native speakers said her accent is really good!
ONEW is known to be one of K-Pop's best vocalists. He perfectly sang this Japanese song, and fans were touched (as always!) by his beautiful vocal tone.
SHINee Taemin, CNBLUE Jonghyun, INFINITE Sunggyu - Girl From Ipanema
This was the stage everyone went wild for. Not only was the collaboration of members perfect, but the song choice for this specific stage was just as fantastic! Fans were overjoyed by the performance!

MAMAMOO Solar - Le Festin (Ratatouille OST)
For her performance in Paris, she wanted to gift fans with a cover of her singing in their native language and delivered it beautifully. She told her fans that she went on Youtube and tried to practice the pronunciation by slowing down the video and finds the language truly beautiful.
