RM: What I'm proud of is that no matter what, there is still only one person who speaks English. We receive a lot of love from Armys all over the world right, that's why I'm proud (of speaking English)
Jimin: I wouldn't be saying that I'm proud of it. Because we've been promoting in the US for over 10 years, but my English is stillㅎㅎ You guys are something else ㅋㅋ
Jungkook: For real, only one person can help us in this ㅋㅋ
RM: Me too! Me too, I want to play bed soccer (t/n: waste time), me too I want to banter (with you guys), but I'm left alone to talk, and I'm left alone to explain things
Jungkook: Let's at least find one more person who can speak English ㅋㅋ
Jimin: Now this hyung even half-a** his explanations too
V: But in reality, no matter how much I practice, it'll take time for me to be able to use it practically
Jungkook: Just wait for another person
Jin: Whenever Namjoon receives a reality slap when he speaks English is when he realizes he's the only one holding the conversation, and laughing with the other party
Jungkook: We're really grateful
original post: here
1. I saw the other members speaking English the other day, what’s up with that? Then again, they’re BTS, so they just end up getting their fans to learn Korean instead ㅋㅋ Bangtan-ah just go ahead and make Korean the global language ㅋㅋ
2. Their English has improved a bit, but it’s not quite at a level where they could handle an in-depth interview with foreign media, so they're probably playing it safe ㅋㅋ
3. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is why Armys have started learning Korean instead
4. Fans find it cute when the members, even if their English is super clumsy, just go for it and power through an interview. There’s no need to get all intense and start nitpicking a post that was clearly meant to be lighthearted and fun
5. Is it really necessary for everyone to be good at it? ㅋㅋㅋ It’s not like we can’t use interpreters, as long as one person is exceptionally good, that’s enough. It’s not as if you can just master English overnight, right?
6. Why would they need to learn English?
7. As long as one person can do it, that should be good enough
8. I mean foreign members do put in a solid effort to learn Korean, but honestly, you also need a certain aptitude for languages, plus things must have gotten more hectic for them once they started their overseas activities. It’s not easy to keep up with someone like RM, who has been at it since he was young and is naturally sharp, too.
Given how many idols with overseas backgrounds are in the industry these days, and the fact that groups almost always include foreign members, I don’t really see it as a big deal if Koreans aren’t fluent in foreign languages. It’s just a helpful bonus if they happen to be
9. They’re aiming to be a global star, so knowing English would obviously be a plus, I guess they just have no intention of learning it
10. If fans are frustrated, they can just learn Korean. Until when are we gonna obsess over learning English like that? ㅋㅋ
