바라 and 같아 pronunciation
안녕하세요!
In korean songs, the singers always pronounce 바라 and 같아 like 바래 and 같애, is it a common thing? why does this happen? does this happen with other words too? :o
I'm curious!
감사합니다😄

The wrong 애 sound happens a lot with 바라 and 같아. I can't think of any other words like these.
I think this phenomenon happens because people are too used to a similar sounding pattern.
There are a common colloquial phrases ending in -해 or -래, like 누가 그래? (누가 그렇게 말해? = Who said that?), 청소도 좀 하고 그래 (그래 = 그렇게 해 = Clean your place once in a while.), These become -래 because the original form before contraction has a 해 at the end,
바라 however is just an -아/어 conjugation of 바라다, and 같아 of 같다. There is no legitimate reason for them to become 바래 or 같애, but many people pronounce them like that, probably from the habit of saying those other -래 phrases.
