In terms of knowing the language, Bang Chan wins, BUT Minnie definitely wins in terms of who is most impressive with their Korean skills. Even tho Chan went to Korea when he was a pre-teen he was still Korean and had contact with the language at home, and he moved to Korea 5 years before Minnie, so he has more exposure. Minnie came from a completely different language and went to Korea in her late teens without knowing anything
True. Minnie is also a 90s kid, meaning the internet was a new thing. Kpop wasn't big back in Thailand then and Kpop fans were bullied and not a thing since Tpop was a thing. Minnie had absolutely no Korean exposure compared to Thai kids nowadays where Kpop and Kdrama is everywhere so a lot of kids learning Korea can sound almost native in terms of pronounciation from online exposure
Bang Chan's song writing along with the rest of 3racha is also an interesting insight in his ability to showcase his creativity with the korean language
if one more person tells me minnie is also a songwriter istg.... don't turn this into fanwars, I was just pointing out that skz are known for their puns/wordplay in their songwriting,and since she talked about that in the video, i mentioned this. Nothing i wrote disputed anything about Minnie and her talents!
despite how annoying fans may be im happy to find out minnie writes bc i had no clue. ppl only ever mention soyeon so gidle fans keep correcting the record haha
@@null6955 yeah yuqi also writes and (i think) produces!, right? but i'm sure all the members have participated in some way to the lyrics etc. though :)
Minnie doesn’t only speak like a native korean but also feels(?) korean. Idk what it is but when she interacts with koreans she just fits right in and doesn’t feel like a foreigner
She doesn't say "Sawadika I'm Kim Minnie" in I'm The Trend for no reason! 😄 & I love the line about how her Hangul looks so good it should be a type font 🤣
I used to see many Spanish and Chinese praising her accent in the comment section. I think Minnie really has a way with learning new languages and imitating native speaker’s accent. She used to study at an international school too. That explained
In fact, Minnie has never studied at an international school in her life. She studied in normal Thai schools (a famous boarding school) until grade 11 when she went to Korea for idol training
@@mn0509 my mistake. Idk why i remembered it as an international school. Maybe because she used to talk about her school life, majoring in English and she also took the driver’s license test in English cause she felt more confident than in Korean which surprised me.
Thank you for analysing Minnie's Korean. She's amazing! Also equally good in Korean is her Chinese I-DLE member Yuqi! Can you please analyse her Korean as well if you haven't already? Thanks!
thank you for the video! i love Channie so much, he's such a sweetheart. also i remember him not knowing what factory reset was in korean (somewhere during case 143 era) and recently in the latest skz code he didn't know the difference between 날랜 and 빠른. or didn't know 날랜 at all
Minnie is a lenguages' queen🙂↕️🙂↕️ Also i-dle's yuqi is chinese but she talk really well the korean. Btw loved this video, i will check up more of your video thank you😍
I love using idols for listening practice because there's SO MUCH footage. When I learned English with friends and other shows it helped to have familiarity with the actors and their voices and speech patterns and with idols that do livestreams and TV shows and interviews and everything else I get that similar reliability. I'm grateful for the hard work that they do.
Yay! I think idiomatic expressions are extremely challenging as a Korean learner, but I felt encouraged by the clip from 2 Kids Room (Bang Chan/Seungmin). I don't know Minnie well, but I will definitely take your advice and play closer attention to mining slang from idols. This is a fun series, TTMIK!
As someone who can speak 4 languages, I would prefer to be bilingual with deep understanding of both languages. I often mix words in different languages and not everyone understand me. Also its hard to keep all 4 languages knowledge on the same level, so its not that useful
I admire Minnie so much bc she learned korean at 17 without having previous interaction with the language and she is SO GOOD and she also speak english pretty well along with Japanese.
We have expression for 토끼 이 in Indonesian too, it is called "gigi kelinci" (rabbit-like teeth), btw you should review Kep1er's Mashiro cuz her Korean so good and she got TOPIK 5
I think Mashiro should've been chosen for this kind of comparison instead. Bang Chan is a native Korean speaker. He's a true bilingual whose first language can very much be Korean too.
Chan both of his parents are Koren also he spend most his life in Koren since he was 12 so he native speaker so I'm not sure we can compare it to Minnie who is from Thailand
I wasn't expecting a video like this haha but I clicked because I love both Minnie & Bangchan. & as someone trying to learn Korean it might help me to watch this analysis
Maybe felix instead of bangchan would have been more relevant? We saw his evolution in his process of learning Korean (same as bangchan: he is Korean, grew up in Australia, but didn’t speak Korean with his family) he had to learn Korean with the members and we could see that during the survival show they had. I'm curious to know if he sounds like a native now?
Your question at the beginning, i might choose being polyglot. Just fun being able to communicate in various languages. I would like to watch you cover henry lau's korean if possible 🥰
I wish it was easier for me to get the korean pronunciation right but I like being a polyglot! My mother tongue is portuguese, which people usually say also has a tough pronunciation; I know english, spanish and am learning italian and korean... hopefully one day japanese as well. Thanks for the video, very proud of our best leader always 🖤❤
Minnie and Yuqi worked together to write a (G)I-dle song called I'm the trend, where Minnie has a rap where she says people think she's korean. You should check it out at some point!
It’s actually cool; Minnie in the last clip, she unintentionally predicted her future! 😮 She was in “So Not Worth It” on Netflix and pretty much played herself 😂
I’d love to see you analyse Song Yuqi, her Chinese band mate from G Idle. People often say that Yuqi sounds like a born Korean. In fact, given that you did Minnie and Bang Chan, doing Huh Yunjin with Yuqi would be interesting. Yunjin is like Bang Chan but American instead of Australian
I love these videos, This helps me to understand Korean a bit more so thank u!!! Next Enhypen Jake and Ni-ki please🥹 I want to see how you analyze their Korean!!!
When I got into kpop I became really interested in how quickly a lot of artists seem to learn and become conversational in Korean and other languages. I come from a background where we learned a language in a school because we had to and it seemed very difficult and you were either good at languages or bad. Since discovering kpop I've realised we just didn't have the motivation to learn or good learning styles. I've rediscovered a love for languages alongside kpop and people like Bang Chan and Felix who have studied languages to high fluency (Bang Chan is also fairly fluent in Japanese) has been really inspiring. Thank you for all the tips- like where to learn safe slang :)
Can you do Hanni and Danielle from NewJeans? They're both Australian but Danielle is half Korean and spoke Korean since she was very young. But she often gets criticized for her pronunciation. Hanni is Vietnamese and didn't actually learn how to speak Korean till she moved to S Korea to become a trainee. It would be interesting to hear your take on how well they speak.
Ils semblent vraiment parler naturellement le coréen alors que ce n'était pas leur langue maternelle... incroyable , j'espère que j'attendrai aussi ce niveau malgré que je sois en France.
I think I would go for polyglot. I am currently living in Italy but my backgrounds are not Italian, I am actually from the Philippines. Sometimes, I struggle a lot when speaking in Italian, although I have been living since birth, because I get so influenced by my family's language. With my family I have to speak tagalog, meanwhile outside I speak italian, so it is a bit difficult to get a correct wording of a sentence, because I just go with the feeling, which is not good sometimes. I might look like a native speaker, but I am sure that sometimes, being able to learn a language fully, without any background that might influence my speaking, would be better.
You should check out Ampers&one. They have seven members and four of them are foreign - two from America (Kyrell and Kamden, one from Canada (Brian) and one from Australia (Mackiah).
Bangchan is Korean. He's born in Korean speaking family. He's biliingual. If you want to compare with Minnie, you should've compared her with Bambam or Lisa.
Exactly, regardless of Bangchan's early depart to Australia, he's still Korean. Meanwhile, Minnie is a foreigner that only has her Korean exposure after she moved to Korea around mid-highschool. There's should be a better choice of foreign idols who also only learn Korean after coming to Korea just like Minnie.
I'm going to practice my speaking after watching this video! Can you cover any of these artists? Jackson Wang who was a member of Got7 and from NCT Dream Chenle and Renjun.감사합니다 예지쌤!
Could you do one with Joshua, Jun or Minghao from seventeen? I've noticed Jun and Minghao also using simplified words but I would find this interesting
2:10 What? but I learned that when using 래/대/냬... we cannot use it to talk about what I just said, we use it to talk about what another person said or what I heard or what I hear lately. Can we use it as the same usage as ~라고 했어?!
When Bang Chan was a kid in Australia, he didn't actually speak Korean.I remember that his senior in the office said that he didn't understand the Korean spoken by Bang Chan at first, because the accent was too strong.His Korean improved only after he came to Korea.
I don't understand this comparison tbh Learning a language you had almost zero exposure to when you're 17 is so different from having to learn maybe more complicated phrases from a language you grew up talking
