10 Korean Actors Whose English Will BLOW Your Mind! [Ft HappySqueak] 

English is just a language. Not a measure of intelligence.

After watching Love to Hate You I only have to look at Yoo Teo and I start grinning from ear to ear 😁 it’s one of the best things I’ve seen and my face hurt from laughing while watching it (I did all 10 episodes back to back in one day). I love his German accent when he speaks English.

I'm surprised Ok Taec-Yeon wasn't listed. His English is flawless in Vincenzo

Ahn Hyo-seop can also speak english fluently

5:36 So glad we get BOTH Yoo Teo AND Kim Ji Hoon in the excellent Love to Hate You! Both so handsome and such good actors! Especially love Kim's hair and hope he never cuts it‼️🇰🇷🥰

Son Sukku and Bae Doona are impressively fluent in English, they both starred in an American series, Sense8 in 2015. They should be here on the list.

I love that Yoo Teo speaks English with a German accent!

I’m impressed by all of them, but a little bit extra of Yoo Teo. English and German are two very different languages, so to master them both is very impressive!

Yoo Teo rocks! He's outstanding in "Love TO Hate You"...I also agree with the comment regarding Ok Taec-Yeon in "Vincenzo".

You missed Lee Soo Hyuk. His international modeling days made him very fluent in English.

I'm surprised Son Seokgu wasn't listed. His English is flawless in Sense8

C'mon, stop saying that some of the actors "mastered" or have " impeccable" accents when they clearly do not. It's a disservice to actual actors who are truly bilingual like Krystal or Ahn Hyo-seop(Paul Ahn),or Choi Woo-shik who are Korean-American or Canadian.

How come Park Min Young, Ahn Hyo Seop, Taec Yeon, Park Bo Gum, Gong Yoo, Cha Eun Woo, Choi Woo Shik, Choi Si Won & Moon Ga Young weren't listed?

Yim Siwan had very natural English speaking in a variety show (when he and Yeo Jin Goo went to Hawaii). Even in Emergency Declaration, the perfect accent in English about having a bomb had his voice.

What saddens me as an English teacher and polyglot is the fact that Koreans don't believe in themselves much. They've been taught to believe they won't be able to speak fluent English unless they're born in a country where English is the first language o at least study there. All it takes is to attend a decent class with a decent English teacher. Why make it so hard? I always wonder

Ok Taec-yeon é fenomenal. Ele fala inglês com perfeição, inclusive foi aprovado no TOEFL.

Sung Joon, I saw him in a Kdrama and he was so good. I had no idea he was korean let alone spoke purfect english. He is one of my favorites sexy, unbelievable charisma, he is everything. Love you Sung Joon ♥️

Sandara Park, Ok Taecyeon, and Park Bogum also speak English very well. ^_^

Yoo Teo is just such daddy when he speaking English and Korean is so different is so ugh rawrr u know

Moon Ga Young can speak English & German fluently. Also Park Min Young’s is fluent in English.

Kim ji hoon really did a great job learning to speak English

Lee.Byyng Hun is a Hollywood star. He speaks fluent English in those western films.

who came to see Ok Taecyeon in the list 🙋

Their English is 'Smooth Like Butter'😃😃

Park Eun Sook is awesome in speaking; diction, intonation and delivery is spot on.

OOOHH, that's why Sung Joon speaks with a quasi kiwi/British accent! Awesome. Yoo Teo speaks with his German accent. I love it.

There’s a difference between knowing a language perfectly or decently as opposed to speaking it with a lot of difficulty and for many of these actors they know English but it’s with a great difficulty. I consider someone with good or great English once they can speak, understand and say the words correctly and clearly without the need to find their words, and without the use of an interpreter. Because in the case of most actors who are not native English speakers tend to lose their English overtime due to not keeping it in practice so I don’t consider them people that can speak great, good or even decent English in my opinion.

Lee Ha Nee is also good at speaking in English. Her accent is so 🔥

Ji Hoon is gorgeous, and I admire him for his desire to always learn how to do new things!!!!

That was fun! Thank you MDL! 🌼

Most of these actors grew up or studied abroad and that doesn't count. I teach English to foreign students for a living and it's obvious from their accent and grasp of the English language that they either studied in international schools or abroad. Most Koreans who only studied English in their local schools or private academies can't speak the language as fluently or easily. To me, the Korean actor that should be admired for his English skills is Lee Byung Hun. He had to learn to speak the language for his Hollywood roles and yet he has almost perfect and clear pronunciation, and his grammar is not at all bad. He's the one I always use as an example to my Korean students because you don't need an American/British accent to be good at English, you just need to be able to speak and express yourself clearly using the right words, pronunciation, and grammatical structure to avoid misunderstanding when communicating with native speakers.

park eun seok from penthouse, so when i was watching penthouse i had not read the actors profile, whenever i watch a drama i look into the actor and actresses profile so when eun Seok started speaking English i was like whoooa ! whooooa! hold up who is this guy! and he is also very good looking too.

Lee Byung Hun is THE BEST non-native English speaker I have observed. I had no idea he spoke English at all before I saw him in the kdrama 'Mr Sunshine'. When I heard him speak his lines I thought that he had been raised bilingual. It was only afterwards when I saw him being interviewed by an English speaking reporter that I could detect (just barely at that) that he did not grow up speaking English natively. His command of the language is simply outstanding. The accent, the colloquialisms, the cadence - he literally expresses himself BETTER than some native English speakers. His English is THE best of any Korean actor that I have seen so far. When Byung Hun speaks, he sounds just like someone from the mid-West of the USA. I don't put people who grew up speaking a language, especially in an environment where English is a dominant language, in the same category as people who learn a language later in life as adults. Language acquisition as an adult is really difficult for most people. That is why I am So impressed with Lee Byung Hun. His command of English is *notably* better than almost all of the celebrities mentioned in this video. I also found out after the fact that he has co-starred in several Hollywood movies ('The Magnificent Seven', 'RED', to name a couple). Which, given the fluency of his English, makes total sense. 😄😄😄

I*m more surprised with the actors that learnt it on their own. The ones who lived in English speaking countries learnt it naturally, though! Learning a new language is a kind of training, it requires perseverance and repetition. All my respect for the people who work hard on it!

Not an actor but Park Jin Young (JYP) can speak English really really well.

Lee JunHo also speaks and reads English and Japanese with great ease and he is a great acting talent.

Moon Kayoung , Lee Seojin, Park Seojun, Choi Woosik and more

Jung Ryeo Won looks very much like Christy Chung! Wow!

I love K-Pop and Korean dramas. And I wish so much that they would speak more English if any at all. Such beautiful actors need to be famous in the United States because they are amazing!❤

What of Taecyon his English is perfect

KIM JI HOON IS A PERFECT ACTOR. I LIKE HIS DRAMAS SUCH AS STARS FALLING FROM THE SKY, JANG BORI IS HERE, RICH FAMILY'S SON, MONEY HEIST I LOVE TO SEE HIM AS HERO OF THE DRAMAS. I WAITING FOR HIS NEXT .

Addicted to Yoo Teo..waiting for his upcoming movie.

Yoo Teo is so cute speaking English with a German accent!

Most of all..... I really like this reporter.... very clear

Ahn Hyo Seop also speaks English fluently

You left out so many. Lee Buyng Hun, Ok Taecyeon, Park Seo Joon, Youn Yuh Jung, Choi Woo Shik, Gong Yoo, Park Bo Gum, Han Ye Seul, Lee Seo Jin, Shin Se Kyung, Bae Doona, Park Min Young, Cha In Pyo, Cha Eun Woo are all English speaking actors and actresses.

Why should it surprise anyone? Many people speak multiple languages clearly and perfectly.

Jang Geun Suk ❤❤❤

I was so surprised when I found out that Yoo Teo was raised in Germany. Hoewever when he spoke Englisch in Love to Hate you I already had a hunch that something seemed off to me, so when I found out it made perfect sense. Sometimes I think I catch typical German faces in the drama, which amuses me to no end.

Really need to watch Kim Ji Hoon in more dramas and movies

As much as I love actors speaking different languages when it comes to acting honestly its not that difficult especially if you have a dialect coach. What impresses me is when they can express the right emotions while speaking their lines. Some actors focus so much on speaking the lines that the emotions dont really match. Id rather them stick to their original language if its going to just come out cold. I may be a bit harsh but thats just my opinion

Chaeunwoo -English, Japanese and basic Chinese Jinyoung- English and Japanese, Ji Sung Song Joong Ki- right now, his English is so good I had to do a double take to see if it was really him in an interview. Rain- Ninja Assassin Park Bo-Gum and Lee Byung-Hun Key- America exchange program for a few weeks but continue after. Lee Seung Gi- English Japanese Kim Go Eun- English and Chinese

Please love teo oppa, he is super good and humble💗

Also not to forget Steve Noh Sanghyun, who played Isak in 'Pachinko'. He speaks great English too coz he grew up in the US. He spoke a lot of English in the variety show 'Dopojarak'.

Loved W (Two Worlds) with Han Hyoo Joo , pretty scary in its themes concerning real & virtual (AI governed) life

ever heard of a Korean actor named Lee Byung Hyun? can't believe he is not on the list !

Ma Dong Seok should be on this list as well, he used to live in San Antonio Texas as mentioned in one of his interviews, he had a small role playing a bouncer in the series Sense8 and he's also in Eternals the MCU movie

Choi Wooshik can also speak English fluently without his Korean accent.

Most of them migrated to English speaking countries since their childhood, so I think its normal to speak English fluently 😂

Jang Geun Suk,Ryu Jun Yeol, I Know Yoon Teo as Ragas from Arthdal Chronicles he's the father of Joonki there..He was so remarkable

If they were raised or lived a long time in an English speaking country than it's a given. But if they weren't and can speak it fluently with a good accent then it is an achievement to be sure. Not everyone has the gift of being able to speak different languages.

Yoo Teo is freaking good at english for sure

All of them are impressive!

Cho Woo Shik from Parasite is probably the best along with Park Bo Gum. You probably should have included them

I was watching my lovely liar and I couldn't understand a word of what he was saying! 😅 He needed someone to help him pronounce it better

KangDaniel he speaks English amazing!

English is the most easy language to learn, is not a big deal!!

Learning in many of languages is a bonus.

I can't see what is so fascinating about this!!! The majority of these actors lived abroad so it's obvious they would speak fluent English. Moreover, as an actor or actress, speaking English fluently is a must

Treadstone was sooo good. I am still sad about its cancelation

How about Park Bo Gum?? He can speak quite good English!

No Rowoon included? I heard him speak English the other day in a video clip. Flawless.

I'd like to add Ahn Hyo Seop and Ok Taecyeon to this list

At least, these actors/actresses are not arrogant just because they can speak English. Just like any languages, it can be acquired by anyone over time of using or exposed to it. The most important is not to be so arrogant to the extent of being mean to others just because of it.

They have my hugh respect, because for Koreans it's so hard to learn English and I also got some Korean only frends, who still struggle with English. Now that I learn Korean for one year, I understand them so good

These days it's good to know how to speak more than 1 language. You can go further in life and have more benefits from it. 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

There are other Korean Actors/Actresses who weren’t included in here-I forgot the name of this actress from Penthouse, Ok Teacyon, Choi Woosik, The main actress from True Beauty, Siwon -these are the actors/tress I know who speaks english well.

I loved Yeo Teo's speaking english with English accent👏👏👏👏

English is not skill but its also a great benefits everywhere when can speaking English English are international languages Great work😊

All Of The Actors again they surprised me again with their flurrent English talking and speaking and they are doing such a good job at it once again i am so inpressed with Them once again i love it so much

1. some were born or studied in a foreign country. Know other languages. 2. Self thought But also some just because you know some sentences doesn’t mean they are fluent. It’s like saying because I know how to ask where the bathroom is or how much a item is I’m fluent in Korean. I can go up to some and talk to them in English and maybe they can’t even answer. Some just study lines of dramas or movies.

Park Bo Gum speaks English pretty well, and so does Song Joong-ki.

Son Sukku, Bae Doona, GongYoo, Ok Taecyeon, Lee Byung Hoon, Choi Woo Sik, they're good

What about Ok Taecyeon...he speak english eloquently.

Not him visiting my country and I didn't know😢😢😢. Please come back to Namibia and most definitely Windhoek 😊😊

Park Eon Seok, Ok Taeyeon and Ahn Hyoseop.

I like all of them, but my favorite and Kim Ji Hoon

I didn't know being able to speak English is something mind-blowing

To the losers who say "English is nothing New or it's not intelligent" yeah well try learning literally a language you aren't familiar with. That's a talent and an achievement. ❤

Park Eun Seok like a native speaker❤

Krystal Jung and OK Taec-yeon are both very fluent

I was looking for Ahn Hyo Seop tbh but great list of actors🎉

Cha Eun Woo, Ahn Hyoseop, Ok Taecyeon…

All impressed me , very hard to accomplish. Bless

You missed a lot. There's Ok Taek Yeon, Choi Siwon, Choi Seung Heun (T. O. P), Lee Byung Hun, Gong Yoo, Cha Eun Woo among others.

Taecyeon is fluent in english too

Why wasn't Park Min young listed here she has flawless english fluency too

I'm not surprised. I think overseas most students study english in some form. It's only in the US where learning another language is not pushed. Sad to say I wish I spoke and understood another language. I know just enough to say my name and ask for the restroom in Spanish and French. Soon Korean.

Choi Woo Sik & Ok Taec-yeon should be on the list

One more actor is Ahn Hyo Seop, speaks English fluently
