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?

Dated a Chinese girl for a while. IIRC she said it was similar to saying "um" or "that" - example usage when you're looking for the right word to say - "I noticed that umm umm umm...". It would then sound like she was saying "nigga nigga nigga"

I'm kind of disappointed. I liked it more when I thought they were all saying nigger.

We can always pretend they're saying it
