i’ve acquired a [release](https://musicbrainz.org/release/482f026b-e96a-4a09-a0c8-148827922395) from my library that’s already in the database. the track names are entered in english, imported from the discogs page. though, on the [back cover](https://i.imgur.com/61Livpf.jpg), they’re written korean then english.

using track 1 “Throughout the Night…” as an example, we can name them any of 4 ways:  
option A: keep the names in English “Throughout the Night…”  
option B: how it’s literally printed “밤을 도와… Throughout The Night…”  
option C: Korean with the English in parentheses “밤을 도와… (Throughout the Night…)”  
option D: just Korean “밤을 도와…”

looking around, i found the artist’s [website](http://parkjiha.com/album/park-jiha/) about the album. on there is a link to the korean [spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/1QXYVlPio5gcH8qKEjldcx), and it’s interesting to note that the titles are printed as “option B”.

though the album’s [bandcamp](https://parkjiha.bandcamp.com/album/communion), and english [spotify](https://open.spotify.com/album/0R5lGI9MsjB2I1r6kwqXIX) have the tracks as “option A”

personally i favor “option B”, but i don’t want to make a rushed, biased decision…

i appreciate any input.

(sorry about the not ideal image quality, but it should be enough to make the point.)

I would use Korean title (option D) as it is release first language, then I would add a [pseudo-release](https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Style/Specific_types_of_releases/Pseudo-Releases) in English language (option A).
