Jack lied, he studied korean not because he dated a korean girl but because he's a trainee and he's about to debut this year as the first Irishman kpop Idol.

Jack : *speaks Korean* His fans that were learning Irish: *Irish music stops*

Jack just straight up casually learning korean without noticing is actuall fucking amazing

Jack: *says the number 18 in Korean* Also Jack: I'm cursing in Korean! All jokes, Jack! We love your fluency in Korean.

Jack and Jae: Having a normal conversation Corpse: *I ' M S T U C K O N T H E D R U M S E T-*

Jack, Jae is Korean American born in Argentina. That's why people were saying that it was nice of you to call him native cause he isn't.

I'm just wholesomely picturing Jack and Momiplier casually speaking Korean to each other

17:30 okay so I'll explain the origins of Hangul (한글) briefly, Sean was almost right. Korea had its own vernacular (spoken language), but didn't have their own script, and so they used what's called Literary Sinitic (or simply Sinitic), which was a script in China that was written only and didn't have a spoken form, so other countries (Korea, Japan, Vietnam) began using this script to write and started using their own vernacular languages to read it out. In Korea, it was used in different forms, so originally it was used logographically, but they also created new ways of using it phonetically as well (for example Hyangchal/Idu). As Sean said, in the 15th century, King Sejong and his scholars decided to create a new, phonetic script called Hangul to read and write in the Korea vernacular, with the aim of improving literacy rates in the country. However, Hangul wasn't used immediately, as Sinitic was considered to be the script of academia and learning, so Hangul was used by women for personal writings such as poetry etc, and a few others. It was only really in the late 1800s and early 1900s that Hangul became more publicly used such as in newspapers, partly due to wanting to bolster their national identity. The Chinese characters, known in Korean as Hanja (한자) are still used alongside Hangul but only in certain types of writing, again such as in newspapers etc. For anyone who actually reads this, hope it shed some light on the subject! :D

Irish Potato : *speaks korean* Swedish meatball : *speaks japanese*

sean and jae: *speaking korean* corpse: “i’m stuck in the drum set”

no joke hearing someone say your accent in your second language is actually good is such a great compliment. im dutch and a friend of mine has an american girlfriend, and she actually told me she was surprised at how good i was at english the first time i met her. that actually made me feel amazing

No but Jack learning a language for love sake is so cute I can’t

jack: speaks other languages except for English and Irish everyone: "impossible"

Jack: *speaks korean* Jae: *speaks korean* Corpse: *stuck in drum set*

"Learned some Korea?! Learn some fucking English!!" Has gotta be my fave jacksepticeye quote to date.

I love the fact that he roast’s himself more than roasting other people

Jack when speaking korean: *Normal foreign accent* Pewds when speaking japanese: ゴゴJOJO THEME INTENSIFIESゴゴ

An Irishman speaking Korean is as rare as an Australian not swearing.

Jack explaining how he struggled with school and learning and saying it got worse as he grew oder Now being diagnosed with ADHD: EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!!

To be fair though, Jae speaks Korean fast af. Like he doesn't speak English that fast but Goddamn get him excited for something and if he replies in Korean it's like uhh... I've seen a couple clips of him speaking to other members of Day 6 so fast they were confused 🤣

Title: Jacksepticeye speaks FLUENT Korean Jack: Well yes, but actually no

Jae: *Speaks in korean* Jack: *Responds in Korean* Corpse: “Im stuck on the drum set! Im stuck on the drum set!” 🤣

He structured the title and thumbnail like a clips channel would... clever

외국인이 한국말 하면 다들 너무 귀여워 지는거 같아..🥰

Next up jacksepticeye calls markipliers mom and speaks fluent korean to her lmao.

Learning a different language to cheat in among us is as high IQ as it gets

I’m currently learning Korean and I’m so excited to keep learning it! It’s such a nice language! It’ll be my 4th after English, ASL, and Spanish. I’ll be going to high school next year and I hope that I’ll be able to use it a little

His accent is actually really exceptionally good for a non-native. Better than a lot of 2nd generation immigrant speakers

I can’t wait for “Jack speaks FLUENT English and surprises his friends”

Reality: Jack can speak rudimentary Korean. Internet: JACKSEPTICEYE IS LITERALLY ASIAN.

Learning languages is extremely contextual! I speak okayish German from 4 years in Berlin, but only within specific scenarios. I worked there in English, so my ability to learn was limited. My French is fluent (but not native/perfect) because I spent a year on exchange in high school dedicated to learning French in Brussels. The amount of immersion/privilege to dedicate time to learning really impacts how much you can learn.

As a Chinese who grew up in Germany. I have noticed that seeing someone "obviously not Asian" (as in someone who doesn't look Asian) speak an Asian language (be it fluent or not) just amazes me. There's always this feeling of pride to know that someone went or is going through the trouble to learn a completly different "breed" of a languange. Because it usually means that they are also very interested in the culture to the point where they want to learn the language. And it's also this sort of funny feeling? Of seeing someone who looks "different" speak Chinese or Korean or etc. It's an interesting sight and sometimes also gives me the thought of: Oh shoot I can't shit talk them in Chinese anymore XD

Jack: You can probably learn the Korean alphabet in 30 minutes. Me: *Crying in Japanese*

He claims his Korean isn't impressive but the fact that he's learned to hold a conversation in it is very very impressive

10:50 jack explaining he is ADHD a year before he was diagnosed hahahaha

7:25 this is an interesting thing to think about... like in german for example Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye) is literally translated as "until I see you again"... which is a different from Auf Wiederhören which is "until I hear you again" (aka goodbye over the phone). Its very interesting to analyze direct translations from other languages, it really gives a lot of insight into the culture and the way people think from different parts of the world.

I’m fluent in American, British, Australian, and Canadian, if you couldn’t tell, I’m multilingual in different ways.

"Did you know that jacksepticeye was an korean" Asian people : "one of us, one of us"

Has it really been that long? I remember watching Jack when he was dating the Korean lass. His flat cap, the cabin in the woods and the TecnoAxe outro... Goodness I'm spiralling down nostalgic memory rabbit hole.

We need more of these really made me feel better about finding it hard remembering languages and not learning in school

As a Korean American I am ashamed to say that Jack’s Korean is better than mine.

Jack is no longer an Irish potato, he is now a Korean noodle.

I JUST started learning Korean and 11:42 I will say that the best decision I made was to learn and practice the alphabet first because MY GOD the romanization complicates it so much. It took me like a day to learn the alphabet. I was so glad I chose to study that. I installed the korean keyboard and would do modern-day flash cards using google translate with the characters and memorize the rules more than the characters. For example ㅏ is ah with an open sound and ㅓ is aw with a softer sound ㅋ I will always remember because 키 is my favorite 샤아니 member (역시 태민 )... but even spelling Shinee out I have to discard what I know about pronouncing letters. There is no ㅎ or H in the Korean spelling. it's S-yah-e-n-ee. (edit, I spelled 샤아니 wrong earlier and got some... undesired search results so be careful 😂 its ㅑnot ㅏ) So learning the pronunciation of the characters and separating it from english completely helped me learn better. I realized if I continued not being able to write and visualize the words then it would take a long time. On the other hand I could read japaneese romanji -very- well but I had trouble learning Hiragana because of the required memorization. Anyway, I recommend to anyone: when teaching yourself learn the 14 characters and how they are pronounced. If you have to look up words then avoid looking at the romanization and read the characters themselves. use the pronunciation tool they provide to help correct you but I would avoid using the roman version as much as possible. Sorry for going on so much about it but I've been excited lol.

so my mom's korean, and hearing jack speak korean is WILD not only that, but he speaks it very fluently as well (i know i'm late but this just looks cool)

"jacksepticeye FLUENT in korean" jack: I KNOW CARROT

Jae: *insults Jack in Korean;* *kalm* Jack: [in Korean] what did you just say? Jae: *panik* Jack: [in Korean] I meant I didn’t understand what you said Jae: *kalm*

The compliment towards Jae being a native speaker comes from him being American born and not living in Korea for a while (similar to AleXa, a Korean soloist)

Love this video. Honestly though, learning languages is one of the best ways to spend your time. It just opens up a whole new world and feels incredible. Not that I've done enough of learning to be fair, but still ahah.

Jack when he speaks Korean Korean People: Impossible

jack: speaks in korean* meanwhile pewds: screams in japanese*

13:15 hearing jack pronounce anime in the correct way is such a good thing

안녕하세요 Jacksepticeye! 저는 당신의 수많은 한국인 팬들 중 한명이에요. 저는 당신의 영상을 매우 즐겨보고 있으며 가끔 친구들과 당신에 대해 이야기하기도 한답니다! 저는 당신이 한국어를 사용할 수 있다는 사실에 매우 놀랐습니다. 만약 이 글을 읽게된다면 우리 한국인 구독자들은 당신을 매우 좋아한다는 사실을 기억해주셨으면 합니다. 앞으로도 재미있고 유익한 영상 기대하겠습니다!

“I learned some Korea” *realizes* “learn some fucking English” When I say I felt this on a deep personal level

Jack: *speaks Korean* Koreans: THERE IS A DISTURBANCE IN THE FORCE

7:40 Fun fact: Goodbye is originally a contraction of "God be with ye" (which was contracted into Godbwye at some point in the 16th century)

Jack you have just become one of my youtubers now for this right here. I'm actually part Korean myself so this just makes me happy to watch.

I love how jack's voice gets a little higher and softer when he's speaking Korean

I want a friendly conversation between Sean and Mark's mom Edit after 8 months: In Korean

I’m actually learning Korean right now, and I absolutely love this!!

Honestly coming back to this is so cute! Maybe a collab with Korean Englishman???? I think that would be such wholesome content, and both of them live in the same city...

Comments: “can’t believe Jack is patting himself on the back.” Actually Jack: “I’m actually not that fluent but I’m happy I know the basics”

Jack and Jae: speaking Korean Corpse: *Help me step-Jack, I’m stuck on the drum set.....*

Konglish is English written in Korean characters whereas romaja is Korean written with English letters I’ve tried learning a bit of korean but I’m really bad with new languages. On the plus side I learned hangul in about 3 minutes but I can only read at a snails pace. The only thing that annoys me about Korean is the inconsistencies in romanisation. For example ㅜ can be written as u or oo or woo when written as 우 (for those who don’t know ㅇ is silent when at the start of a syllable), ㅓ can be written as eo or u and sometimes even just o even though o is ㅗ. I’ve also seen a lot of mistranslation of ㅜ and ㅡ which is eu

Honestly this was really nice to see (despite seeing it a year late). I'm in college now and I'm learning two new languages and he has a point and being from Ireland like Jack it does feel different going from English to Gaelige to things like Italian or Russian or German and it's nice. Opens the mind

Imagine Mark's reaction to him speaking it fluently

Jack isn’t shitting when he says you can learn the alphabet really fast. I learnt it in 10 minutes using something I saw on Pinterest three years ago and I have never forgotten it lmao

That's pretty cool. I dated a Frenchman for several months and he refused to even speak French to me, let alone teach me any of it. Then again, his mother was French and he insisted he spoke French as well, but with all the other stuff he lied about I would not be surprised if he didn't speak it at all and just lied to me about it.

3:12 It did in fact get 4 mill.

Plot twist: Jack only knows Korean because he's about debut as a kpop idol

Jack: *has an Irish accent* me: *hears him speak Korean and his whole accent disappears* Jack: *SURPRISE SHAWTY!* me: *WHAT-*

i'm korean!!! this made me want to buy your coffee!! but also be careful make sure you annunciate it as "커피 사세요" because it sounded like you said "코피 사주세요" which means "please buy me nose bleeds"!

Oh! Btw Jack, the word 십팔 is a number! 십 is 10 and 팔 is 8 so together it means 18. It just sounds dangerously similar to cussing lol. Hope that was helpful =D

the reason they all complimented Jack for saying “Jaes a native speaker.” is because Jae isnt from korea. he was born in Argentina. so when he said that everyone was like “ohh thats a compliment because that means jae sounds like an actual korean.” edit: guys it aint that deep💀

**Jack speaks Korean** Momiplier has entered the chat

anyone else notice how he sounds so young in Korean its adorable 🥺

I started learning Korean for the same reason, but it was only a couple months before we realized we weren't a good match. Still, I was absolutely blown away by the writing system. I've dabbled in a lot of languages just for fun, but nothing beats the elegance of written Korean. It's a masterpiece of human communication, and one of my favorite human achievements in general. Seriously, just... wow.

Jack speaks *FLUENT* Latin and accidentally summons a demon instead of impressing everybody

"The imposter speaks Korean" Everyone: *accuses Irishman living in Brighton* Jack: *sweats nervously*

Dude I’m rewatching and I hadn’t heard sykunna say “I don’t know what they’re saying” when they were speaking korean 🤣🤣🤣 3:32

Seán should do a series where he learns Korean and teaches us along the way, it would give him a reason to use it more often. He could do so many cool collabs or a video in which he's only allowed to speak Korean the entire time, etc.

His pronounciation is surprisingly better than most people who try

I'm the person who made that video with the admittedly clickbaity title and I didn't at all expect that 4 million people would watch it - I only made it for my brother to see. Thank you for reacting to my video and I'm glad that you could get some deserved content out of it! And again - your Korean is quite good for a Westerner. Thank you for all that you do - you really helped make my quarantine, which was already compounded by me going through a hard time in my life, much better. Hoping that this gets twice as many views!

Has now diagnosed ADHD and still learns a whole language better than I can so I have no excuse anymore

i come back to this video so often i genuinely love hearing him say words in korean and mumbling in his thick irish accent and i don't understand either but it's okay

Jack: let’s go back *Universe being created* Jack: Wait not that far back

Markiplier's in the corner just really really mad at you right now

Will admit that with hangul, the only characters I confuse are pretty much the ones that mix vowels to make wa, wo, ui, etc. Also kimbap/gimbap is so far my favorite non-spicy korean food (that I can get here)

10:14 hello fellow kpop stan here, Jae’s chat complimented him on his Korean because he isn’t a native speaker, Korean is his second language while English is his first lol

Idk if someone already cleared this up but since Jae was raised in America his Korean he wasn’t very fluent so he actually had to learn (unlike if he was raised in Korea) so that’s why you calling him native was a compliment ^^

Markplier: Finally! A worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!

i actually lol’d at your realization of the word goodbye… mainly because that’s my reaction when I think about words too lol

Jack titled it the same and it did indeed get more views

Everybody gangster till the Irishman starts speaking Korean.

Tina talks to him like he's a baby it's so cute

videos like this are my favorite because it's not your crazy youtuber side but more of a personal side

I've always been interested in some of the Asian cultures out there and my main ones were definitely Japanese and Korean. I self-taught myself how to read/pronounce romanji when it comes to Japanese when I was around 14 y/o. That's probably the easiest thing you can learn tbf so nothing impressive there + obviously phrases and words here and there (in Korean also). Watching this made me want to fully learn Korean. Thank you!

Jae: *compliments jack on his korean* Jack: *explains that he is a mere amateur* CORPSE: hlep, i'm STUCK.... D;

Jack is speaking Korean to shock his friends Just wait until Felix reveals he can speak Japanese 😂😂

I like this. Gives insight on how one gains interest in learning. For instance, you learned for a relationship. Someone else may learn to understand a foreign TV series or movie that's in another language.

I mean, the best way to learn a langage, is by loving someone from another country.
