A four-episode video series

Spotify has announced Flip the Language, a new video podcast featuring K-pop group KickFlip. According to the platform, the series spans four weekly episodes focused on Korean slang, memes and everyday expressions. Its subject is the difficulty of carrying an expression’s meaning into another language through a direct translation.

Spotify says viewers can watch the first episode on its platform and gives the release schedule for subsequent episodes as Mondays at 11 a.m. KST. The announcement therefore offers an episode to watch immediately, alongside a weekly schedule for following the rest of the series.

The platform describes a format in which different combinations of members discuss expressions through stories and conversations drawn from their lives. One member takes the teaching role as the group looks for English and Japanese equivalents and tries them in context. Spotify presents those exchanges as a way to explore the humor and cultural detail within individual phrases.

Language in context

In the accompanying interview, KickFlip says its aim is to demonstrate how expressions work through conversation and role-play before finding a natural English or Japanese rendering. The stated goal is the closest expression of a feeling: the translations are approximations whose usefulness depends on context, rather than a promise that every nuance carries across languages.

Kyehoon supplies one example in the interview: a Korean expression for someone who misses social cues or fails to recognize another person’s feelings. He says close friends can also use it teasingly. His explanation illustrates the distinction the series explores, with the relationship between speakers affecting how an expression is used.

For viewers interested in the group, KickFlip describes the podcast as another setting for seeing members interact beyond songs and performances. The members say the format gives them room for conversation and spontaneous reactions. They hope viewers will feel included while encountering new expressions and learning more about the people using them.
