Korean Songs

I like listening to Korean songs even though I do not fully understand what they mean. I usually end up looking for the English lyrics after listening to the song. A good number of Korean songs have random English phrases interspersed and that really puzzles me. In some ways, I feel that the English words decrease the quality of the song. Why sing that short phrase in English when you can easily do that in Korean and the majority of the lyrics are in Korean?

One song that I really like at the moment that of course has the random English phrases (I wait for you, I still love you): "Scarecrow" by Jeong Il Wu.
