JAKARTA - Singer Siti Badriah will appear at the Asia Concert Korea music festival held at Hwaseong, southern Seoul City on September 29 and 30.

Although happy to be trusted to introduce dangdut music to South Korea, Siti Badriah admits that there are still fears about language.

"There is fear, I only speak Indonesian and Sundanese," said Siti Badriah in Thamrin, South Jakarta on Tuesday, September 26.

"Even though they don't burden me to speak English or have to speak Korean, it's just that I'm here, it's impossible for me to talk at all using universal words," he continued.

Siti Badriah does not deny that language problems had made her insecure. Luckily, the organizers from South Korea did not really mind.

"Yes, it's a bit insecure. But thank God, the people who invited me there, they made me feel confident, they locked me up. Even there they didn't expect English and others, the important thing was the performance," said Siti Badriah.

Siti Badriah said that her husband also gave a lot of input on appearances in South Korea later.

"It's definitely hard, it's really difficult. I actually often share with my husband," said Siti Badriah.

"There is a (learning intention), there is a lot. Yes, I study thin with my husband," he said.
