I agree...He is also fluent in Japanese. I love him.❤

I would ask those people if they can speak Korean

this is why i appreciate when anyone can speak even a little bit of another language. i only speak english so i think it’s very cool to see that people can speak more than one language!

Lmao yes

So true!

As someone who lives in America, more people in the US need to realize this.

@@audreyhogan8285 Sadly yes, I must agree that this is true; many (probably most) Americans consider America the center of the universe (even if they don't fully realize they have that point of view). This concept is called by historians/social scientists as "American Exceptionalism." However, I am here to say that not ALL of us feel this way... Some of us appreciate the differences in and contributions from other countries & cultures. Some of us are bilingual by choice (meaning we studied to attain those skills, as RM has done.) So I hope non-Americans will keep this thought in mind about us. : )

Golden truth lmao

Exactly! My parents immigrated to the US from Germany and it took a while before they actually started thinking in English rather than running the translation through their heads from German to English. I'm sure RM, as fluent as he is in English, still thinks mainly in Korean so he is having to run translations through his head at least some of the time, even if it's happening so quick it's not really noticeable. When my mom would go back to Germany for visits she had to readjust to thinking in German again and it would take her a few days, even though German was her native language. And we use different parts of our brain to retain another language. My dad had a friend who was Hispanic and spoke English fluently but had a medical condition they didn't know about until he woke up one day and could no longer speak English....it was completely gone. The condition he had, sadly eventually shut down the rest of his brain over time and he lost the ability to do different things one thing after another, but the part of your brain that holds the information of another language is not the same as where all your root information is embedded as you learn and grow from infancy. Anyone who learns to speak other languages....or learns to do anything new that takes time and practice to learn...should be encouraged and admired. Heck, English is my native language and I certainly don't speak it perfectly...nevermind retain the German I learned but didn't use regularly enough to become fluent. I can't even imagine trying to learn Korean or Japanese or Chinese.....the writing alone looks like artwork to me. In English we have a lot of silent letters and words like 'enough' where the gh sounds like an f. Languages are complicated. They all deserve their efforts to be recognized and praised...they other six have greatly improved in their English skills. They all have to constantly learn new songs, new choreography, adjust the choreography for performances on different stages, keep up their social media, have interviews and appointments coming out their ears both at home and abroad, take care of their physical and mental health and much more and still try to find time for their families and friends. It must be exhausting sometimes....more than sometimes. And they are all learning English on top of everything else. I'd like to see anyone who makes fun of them manage to do even half of what they do. Wow...that got quite lengthy, didn't it?

@@monicabohn2476 That's so cool. It's like our native language is the operating system, and a new language is an additional integrated program. Thanks for explaining that. I don't know much about Korean, but from what I understand, their grammar structure is different too. So, in English, we would say "I want to sleep". But if we wanted to learn Korean, we would have to get used to the fact that a) They don't always say "I", because it's implied and b) the "want to" part comes after their word for "sleep". They use different endings to indicate the participle. That would feel backwards to us, so I imagine it feels backwards to them. So it's not just vocabulary, plus weird rules, plus a different alphabet system. It's also a different way of thinking. I give mad props to anyone who learns another language, especially when they can think in it. They've upgraded their brain, lol.

@@monicabohn2476 yes thanz for highlight it.

I agree with your thinking and I thought my english getting better when I had english teacher like you during my university's life, me myself rarely use english in my daily conversation, I prefer to use my own language but I will use english in any comment in social media in order to preserve my english skill otherwise it will bury and rusty, sorry for my bad english

THANK YOU, that was my point too

Ofc

Yeah, I mean I’m chinese and sometimes I don’t really understand them but I don’t really care how they speak or hpw fluent they are to that language I can just turn on the subtitles and I won’t complain cuz I love the boys ♡︎♥︎

@@br00klyn_isstup1d9 that's a real ARMY spirit right there, you are nice and I'm glad that there are a lot of positive people in the world too

Jungkook is also fluent in Japanese, in fact can speak the best/most Japanese out of BTS

@@nadiarivera3317 I think RM is the most fluent in Japanese (at least that's what I've heard often).

Moreover he is not an english teacher for correct grammar and all

Facts.... Cause I speak English and sometimes I would say an in correct sentence. And it doesn't help that I am Jamaican and we change up every single word in the English dictionary. 😅🇯🇲

Being a person whose first & only language is English, RM speaks excellent English far better than some other native born English speakers. He tends to speak though with an American influence, but America has actually bastardised the UK English language (the fatherland of English) and so has Australia each has there own slang, and words. So the last people who should try to critique RM on English expression is Americans.

@@pamelakrause9311 Comment: I don't want to offend anyone who is different. A lot of native english speakers don't take it for granted that you speak english and they also learn other languages. Just remember that there's always more than one type of people. Native English speakers usually don't have to learn another language very well because it is the third most spoken language worldwide, especially in (huge companies and) the entertainment industry. So some native english speakers didn't learn an other language and will naturally hardly understand how difficult it is. Besides, in their environment everyone speaks english, so they assume (naively) that everyone should speak their language. Of course this is kind of rude/arrogant, but why would we take them serious. Some people simply don't want to understand it and spread hate to make themselves feel better. RM's english skills are great. I wish I could speak like that.

@@pamelakrause9311 yes, plus anyone will do anything to accomplish 5% of what he has accomplish and on top of that learn foreign language as well as he has. 5% is a high estimate, my accomplishments are around .0004% haha

My parents immigrated to the US when they only spoke German. My mom said people would sometimes make fun of her as she was learning to speak English which made her feel more insecure about it...but there were also those people who encouraged her and instead of making fun of her mistakes, helped her to learn from those mistakes. It takes a while for your brain to adjust and start actually thinking in a different language. My parents eventually started thinking in English, rather than running everything through translation in their heads and when my mom would go back to Germany to visit she would have to readjust to thinking in German and it would take her a few days even though German is her native language. When not used regularly you can stumble even in your own native language. You are absolutely correct that a second language is not just locked in for life and anyone who can speak in another language should be encouraged and praised....it takes a lot of work and practice...especially to become fluent. :)

I bet if we compared interviews where his translations are brief to their schedule, they're likely the ones at the end of a long day of press, after a flight, when he was feeling under the weather, or otherwise exhausted. I speak multiple languages and have had to be the only one translating for my group in the past (though thankfully never on camera in front of millions!), and the brain really does just get tired.

@@delia9277 I agree! It’s tough on your brain, switching between the two so much. Very taxing

Indeed, especially since he’s translating for the others the whole time. So he’s probably thinking in Korean, then translating what they say and his answers very quickly. Switching back and forth is much harder on your brain than sticking to just one

Yeah, so true on the use it or lose it part. I'm learning Korean but underestimated how much is easily forgotten if it isn't regularly practiced

And cooking😉

you'll probably find the best english speaking koreans are the ones who actually studied and lived abroad. Example, Jennie and Rosé BLACKPINK, Felix and Bang Chan Straykids etc

@@thepaceyturtle7182 Add Ok Taec-yeon (actor, rapper), Jay Park (rapper) & Roy Kim (singer) to the list.

For never having lived/studied in an English speaking country, his skills are pretty incredible

Can we not compare him to people who were either born or have lived in an English speaking country? Rose is an Australian basically. Jennie lived in New Zealand for years before moving back to Korea. Same with Taec-yeon who lived in the US for a quite long time too.

i don’t think i’ve ever heard someone saying they actually have a funny handsome guy in their school, which really leaves me wondering, do these types of guys just not go to school? do they just like show up out of nowhere in their 20s? 😂😂

I agree....since the rest of the group have been learning English during 2020...and lightening the load off RM. I bet they are at the point that they can understand short sentences in English, giving a reason why RM is answering in that way: helping out his 'brothers' in their English lessons while doing interviews.

Most Americans don’t even speak correctly! It’s not about perfection, it’s about communication.

Americans tell Brits they don't speak English properly, is that what you're saying?? That must be a joke, how could anyone say that seriously? WE GOT it from you, how could yours be the wrong version?? hahahaaa If anything Americans think Brits speak more posh than we do, I'd say. We do think you spell a few words weird though. hahaha j/k

Spot on ..... these videos about BTS aren't always correct with what they state; it is well known that Jin studied abroad. jk is also learning English, and V has said he struggles with it. Kudos to them for knowing different languages, and for always trying to connect with their fans.

It was Namjoon who went to New Zealand while Jin went to Australia. But I agree with your comment.

Jin went to school in Australia :)

@Chris R search. He went 4mth for the exchange student program

@Chris R all i know he mentioned before only 4mths but i dk if it was school trip or exchange prog.

You make such a good point! I think we should applaud him for his passion. Also, as an American, it's my opinion that RM's English.... AND YOURS.... are both phenomenal 👏 Why do ppl feel the need to put others down? Do they really believe it makes themselves look better somehow?

V's response to that was so hilarious; I never get tired of seeing that. "Not...not....NOOOOOOO!" ; )

@@sakitoby1581 I've been waiting to say this... I feel Ellen DeG. was very disrespectful. If BTS didn't know what 'hook up' meant, she took advantage of their blank faces...and then she asked it Again! just for laughs. I'm not sure about the S. Korean culture, but I'm pretty sure it's not okay to ask someone, on national TV, if they've "slept with someone" I was uncomfortable for BTS, but RM and V handled it perfectly...well done boys! I was mad at Ellen for trying to trick someone who doesn't speak English. It was very small of her. As another commenter said, "America is not the center of the universe." PS.. Her gag of having someone jump out of the box next to RM was also very mean... just to get a laugh, at the expense of her guests. I can't imagine anyone who loves being scared like that. It's only funny if you're Ellen. Again I was so embarrassed on their behalf. How caring was RM to turn around and make sure everyone was okay. "Love that man!" I hope they never agree to American Talk Shows again. There, I'm done, thank you. Purple 💜 💜💜💜

@@scottmiller8649Many agree with you that Ellen was rude. Part of it I feel is due to her particular sense of humor; she likes slightly inappropriate, risqué joking and often likes to tease her guests but I will say this, I don't believe she was picking on them for being foreign; she actually makes a lot of her guests squirm with probing questions about their love lives that she knows they don't want to answer. It is cringey but it's her comedic interview style...I don't love it. I rather think because they are young, popular, hot guys & because RM's English is so good, she thought he'd be familiar w/the term "hookup." She/her staff didn't research well to realize these are polite young men from a rather modest, respectful culture...even if they HAD done fan hookups, they'd never discuss. Totally agree the scaring stuff is obnoxious and so rude. I've always hated that. But I would never wish them to avoid American talk shows! Those are how I began learning how amazing the members are!! I'm so glad they've gone on those shows to show how talented & delightful they truly are! Their early appearances on Fallon, Corden & Colbert made me love this group! Fallon & Corden especially really love the 7 guys and consider them close friends. So it's had positives as well... Borahae 💜☺

If those who critizised you are women, it might be just because you are a forreigner and they feel threatened because of that. Korean women/girls know that korean guys like or even prefer forreign girls, so they often openly show hate to non-asian women, especially if you're young and attractive. Many youtubers who lived/lives in korea reported about this behaviour. So maybe it wasn't really your pronounciation that was wrong but mostly your whole "pretty forreign girl" aura...😏

The last line of comment as well as reply are so Savage 😂😂 I love it guys seriously 😎 Well.. my mother tongue is Bengali but in our school, I had English as first language and Hindi as second language... Now the thing is, many foreign people never fail to criticize us Indians, because according to them "Indians can't pronounce the words correctly, and that their English accent is really bad"... Well what I don't understand is that why does accent actually matter ?? Isn't it quite obvious that people living in different countries will have different accent ?? I really don't get it why people have to insult or criticize or even bully others just for being different... I myself have been criticised by two of my college mates.. The were from America.. Idk what exactly they thought about themselves because most of the students got criticised by them, just because we don't pronounce English like they do.. People are so bad nowadays 😔😔😔😔

@@tessltaekook8501 agreed. Korean girls are really sweet to me because i'm ugly, haha!

@@baby_but_a_stay_forever , it is strange, but people are strange. People talk about how much they like a French or Italian accent, yet criticize other accents, very strange to me. I enjoy hearing different accents and languages. The only problem is sometimes I can't understand what is being said, so I have to keep asking the other person to repeat themselves. After asking 3+ times or whatever, I just feel like an idiot. But whoever is giving you a hard time regarding your accent sounds a tad xenophobic, and a lot rude.

'you can't stop me loving myself' i guess I know this line from somewhere else
