We occasionally have a Kpop night on /v/ModernPowers. In a lot of the songs, they say a word that sounds like "nigger". At first I thought it was just just a coincidence, but we hear it all the time and it is said far too often for it to be accidental.
Is there a Korean word that sounds similar to nigger? If so, what does it mean? This has been troubling us for weeks now, anyone who can shed light on this would be very helpful.
EDIT: Someone on freenode just said "nay ge" is a Chinese phrase that means "that". Is there something similar in Korean?

This gets confused a lot in the West. There was a point when G Dragon was getting a lot of hate because they thought he was racist. They didn't understand he was actually referring/singing about himself. It's good that you asked though. It's fun to learn a foreign language, especially when being exposed to it through music. It can be a fun and entertaining part of learning.
