On May 9th, the organizing committee of the 'Expo 2012 Yeosu Korea' officially appointed singer IU as its honorary ambassador.

To commemorate the event, they have released the theme song sung by IU for this year's Expo, "Memories of the Sea". Since the Expo is an international affair that attracts tourists from around the world, IU delivered both a Korean and English version of the song. "Memories of the Sea" was composed by Yoon Sang and lyrics were contributed by Park Chang Hak.

IU's voice sounds super smooth in Korean but a little nasal in English. Didn't realize pronunciation could make such a difference.

Gosh, I'm so jealous even though I LOVE IU. We're the same age and I wish I could look like her sometimes. Absolutely gorgeous.

She does sound nasal in English; but I think that's down to the somewhat nasal nature of Korean, perhaps? It's hard to move away from that - you have to relearn the whole way you produce your sound, and your vowels generally. Chinese (and heck, us Kiwis too) opera singers meet similar relearning challenges because of the way they speak.

(ha sorry for the rambling)
