[theqoo] 08'ER MALE IDOL WHO CAN RATTLE OFF EVEN THE MOST OBSCURE CHINESE IDIOMS THAT NOBODY EVEN USES ANYMORE NOWADAYS

"Baek Junhyeok is using fancy vocabulary again…
He’s like, ‘A man’s word weighs more than a thousand pieces of gold. (男兒一言 重千金, T/N: Chinese idioms are harder to learn because it requires you to learn the meaning and characters of traditional Hanjas)’
What that means is: since a man’s single word carries that much weight, don’t speak carelessly—and keep your promises and what you say."

This is IDID's Junhyeok.
They had a mission where they had to guess which figure a member picked.
Junhyeok: ‘A man’s word weighs more than a thousand pieces of gold. I won’t change it, I’ll go with this.’
And then he actually guessed it right and won the prize 




"08'er Baek Junhyeok's wording is always gonna be so funny
'Break off' from a situation (t/n: 打開, the act of forcefully breaking through or cutting one's way out of extremely difficult, deadlocked, or critical situations)
‘Three men make a tiger,’ (t/n: 三人成虎, four-character idiom that serves as a cautionary reminder that even a lie can come to be believed as the truth if it is repeated by many people.)
‘A dragon and a tiger in a fierce match,’ (t/n: 龍虎相搏, it describes a contest between two exceptional rivals whose skills are so evenly matched that it is nearly impossible to determine which is superior.)
Junhyeok is really a clever kid… not like kids these days."


"How can we '打開' (overcome) this desperate situation?"


"Do you not know what 三人成虎 means? 三人成虎 (Three men make a tiger)?"


(describing another member as 龍虎相搏 (A dragon and a tiger in a fierce match))


"251202 Listening Party
👤 I’m curious where Junhyeok learned words like “insidious” (t/n: 奸惡, deceitful, wicked) 
🦈 Just read a lot of books, everyone
👤 What books?
🦈 Animal Farm
👤 I don’t believe you
🦈 You still don’t believe me even after seeing my vocabulary? The way words just flow out like this, seeing my vocabulary right now and still not believing..."

original post: here

1. Looks like he does read a lot of books 

2. I don't know who this idol is, but it seems like other communities are viewing him positively. Why are people acting so pissed off here?

3. Of course for a 08'er, his vocabulary is quite exquisite

4. Even I have never heard of the idiom 'Three men make a tiger', he's indeed impressive

5. He's seriously so cute, why are people showing so much inferiority complex here?

6. Maybe 'A dragon and a tiger in a fierce match' is rarer, but a lot of kids nowadays use terms like 'Overcome' and 'Three men make a tiger', it's not like it's something that uncommon 

7. Huh? He's indeed quite unique and cute, but why are the comments here so negative here? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are people like that?

8. People here really are such losers. Nowadays, kids' vocabulary have become so deplorableㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Let us praise him a little ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

9. That's considered... Elevated speech...?

10. Do kids nowadays really don't know those terms..?
