A Korean viewer reading a Korean YouTube title gets the whole thing at once — the joke, the slang, the fact that a word is a person's name, the fact that a dish is not what it literally says. A translation into English hands a foreign viewer the words and quietly drops all of that.
Below are 22 real Korean YouTube titles. For each one, give me the English and tell me what I would have missed.
I do not speak Korean. I am going to read your answer out on camera next to other models' answers, so what I need from you is the thing a dictionary cannot give me.
id back exactly as written.orig, character for character. Copy it, do not retype it: every emoji, every hashtag, every broken entity like " stays exactly as it arrived.en is what a Korean viewer understands, in natural English. Not word-for-word. If a literal rendering would mislead — because the words say one thing and the title means another — write the meaning and leave the literal version for gets_lost.gets_lost is the whole point of this exercise. One or two sentences on what a Korean speaker gets instantly that my English cannot carry: the pun, the coinage, the abbreviation and what it is short for, the name hiding inside a word, the register, the joke. Name the actual term and unpack it. "" only when a title genuinely holds nothing beyond its words — some of these are plain, and padding an empty row is worse than leaving it empty.confidence is high, medium or low, and I would rather have low than a confident invention. Some of these are current internet slang and some are regional. If you are reconstructing a term from its parts rather than recognizing it, that is medium at best. A wrong gets_lost marked high is the worst answer available here; the same wrong answer marked low is an honest one.Raw JSON, nothing else — no markdown fence, no preamble, no commentary afterwards. Exactly this shape:
{
"rows": [
{ "id": "...", "orig": "...", "en": "...", "gets_lost": "", "confidence": "high" }
]
}
Keep the keys in that order.
Each entry is an id line, then the title verbatim on the next line.
