I think the reason why chan and felix’s accents are still really thick is because they have each other to talk to. I remember chan saying he talks to Felix in English bc Felix really brings out his accent. And before Felix chan said he was kind of losing his accent. So for Jake, he doesn’t really have an aussie friend (or
Aussie in the group) to interact with on a daily basis, and since he’s been immersed in Korea he kind of loses it. But if he is around an aussie friend he’d get a thicker accent in that moment.
Neither Chan or Jake would lose their accent completely. I know a person who moved from England to Australia as a teen. Has a thick Aussie accent but completely reverts to English accent with family. Quite literally just switches and doesn't realise she has until I laugh at her.
Wait, if that’s the case then why is Rosé not losing her accent? She has no Aussie member to talk to in the group.
@@kelvinzhang36 occasionally she drops her accent when speaking but Jennie has a New Zealandish accent. Some of Jennie's words are pronounced similar to Rosé so that might help a little. Typically someone in their mid teens and older find it harder to lose their accent.
To be honest, its hard to lose the accent - if u were born and grew up in the western countries. For those who’ve claimed to lose their accent due to no one to talk to in same accent - it’s pretty weird. People who wasn’t raise/born outside would mostly claimed so.
No matter how long you’ve stayed in Korea/other asian countries - its damn hard to lose the accent
@@nancydouglas585 ya the fact is jake born in korea then moved to australia like 5 y/o and his parents both are korean. he's just using the aussie accent with his mate and his brotha only but not when he at home with his parents. since now he came back to korea i guess what people said he might losing on his aussie accent bcs of he don't have anyone to talks to using the aussie accent kinda makes sense. anyways he's an korean idol now and the staff of his company want him to tone down his accent bcs his accent was a little stronger than u expected. i guess for sure he's not losing the aussie accent at all but kinda tone down a bit. he's still got the aussie accent. so please don't expecting that he might losing all his aussie accent..
His first language is actually English he grew up in Australia then moved to Korea. He learned Korean when he came to Korea
He said that he didn't born in Australia (in a videocall I think) ~
@@NSYHJTJLoveBTS Jake was born in Brisbane, Australia.
Edit: Ok guys I know it now, I completely forgot about this comment because this was 4 months ago and that time jake confirmed nothing so that's why i thought he was born in Australia turns out he was not. To new engenes, please don't be confused, Jake was born in Korea. :))))
@@maple_fall well believe what you want to believe:) we were shocked too haha, but in a fancall/fansign they said that
@@NSYHJTJLoveBTS i want Jake to confirm it in Vlive. I wish.
@@maple_fall jake also said on vlive that he was born in korea then moved to brisbane when he was a kid
If I'm not mistaken I remember he said from one of their vlives, he's trying to tone down his accent because one of the staffs said that his accent is a little strong, he has to narrate for their debut teaser in English, Maybe since that day, he's trying to control his accent and make it a little softer whenever he's speaking English.
Because when u talk in aussie ur voice gonna be a little deeper i think so maybe he gonna control his accent a little bit
NOOO I DONT WANT HIM TONE DOWN THE ACCENT
Oh hell nah I'm trying to get into this group and if they screw with his accent I'm stealing bone marrow
@@min_says_h3110 don't worry he still got his accent ahahhaha
I find it offensive he’s been told to ‘tone down’ his Aussie accent. It hasn’t hurt Rose, Felix or Bang Chan now, has it? Imagine if we asked a Korean in Australia to tone down their accent! Yeah, na.
Jake's first language is English and he is from Australia, but he moved to Korea more than a year ago for training and he learned Korean and only spoke Korean during that time. Now, most of the time he only speaks in Korean and sometimes in English like in awards speechs, etc. Also, Jake speaks in Korean with ENHYPEN members, so he doesn't have close people to talk in English, maybe Jay (another ENHYPEN member) since Jay was born and raised in America until he was like 9 years old, but Jay said his English is raw and a little broken bc he does not remember that much so there are not many options. Finally, ENHYPEN also has a Japanese member and he also communicates with the other members in Korean so it would be difficult if Jake only speaks in English all the time knowing that more than half of the members are Korean and one is Japanese, it would be very confusing, so they all use Korean to communicate almost all the time so it is understandable that sometimes Jake gets a bit confused when speaking in English and occasionally he also gets confused with some Korean words.
@@trina160 yup that's right.. He was born in SK but was raised in Australia when he was very little
Jake was born in South Korea and his parents are also both Koreans. They just moved to Australia when he was a kid. He said it LIVE with SUNOO. His first language is basically KOREAN and not english.
@@elixx2677 I don’t think that’s true though because your first language is normally the one you grew up with not the one your parents speak, like most of asians in other countries he must have spoken korean (mixed with some english) with his family (maybe tv and friends) and solely english for the rest. He said his korean was not good when he was a trainee, so that mean he rarely talked in korean and it doesn’t make sense that someone’s “first language” is one they don’t really know how to speak properly, and that he didn’t use as much.
Like for example my first language is spanish but my parents are not.
@@elixx2677 even though jake was born in Korea it does not mean it is his first language he moved at a young age and was raised in Australia so his first language is English his second language is Korean 😃
Jake actually did the english narration on their debut trailer for given-taken and his aussie accent was really good 😍 you might want to check that out 🤭
Don't worry, Walter. You still sound pretty Australian 😊 Cheers from Melbourne!
Same im from Sydney
Well not same but I'm still from Australia😊
I’M FROM MELBOURNE TOO!! HIII!
I’m from Tassie :o
@@985y95thj Tassie is sooo pretty I wanna go their😭
Melbourne represent ✌🏼
Jake's Aussie accent is half flushed and also since he hasn't used his English for like almost a year after he went to korea to audition for I-land.
Actually Jake didn't know how to speak korean when he came to Korea but he did improve a lot after 9 months of training in bighit ent. before entering iland
jake grew up in australia, but he moved to korea as a trainee last year. he goes to an international school in seoul maybe because he didn’t know korean that time. he only learned korean last year. he doesn’t have a lot of ppl to talk to in english.... and he’s currently on speaking english lessons
Jake was born in Korea. He moved to Australia when he was little and grew up there. He couldn't speak Korean till mid-2019 when he became a trainee.
So apparently Jake's absorbed Korean quiet quickly. He kinda has a switch and cannot think or speak in two languages at the same time. When he's surrounded by Korean language it's hard to speak English
that actually happens to me too it's hard to switch up when the people around you speak another language
Jake's first language is english. He learned korean after coming to korea.
Yes you right
And those 2 guys are saying that his first language is korean wtf😐
Ikr 😂
About the Den vs Then thing, I'm an Australian (Born in Australia, raised by my Australian Mother) who also grew up predominantly in Brisbane (southside), and I say den, dem, dere, dis (then, them, there, this) quite often. In fact I have always thought pronouncing 'th' as 'd' was quite common here in Australia. At least at has always seemed to me.
What accent does Jake speak? If you know please tell me bc I really want to know.
@@janij3696 Honestly, from what little of his English speaking that I've seen, he sounds like an urban Australian speaking in that polite phone/retail "voice" that people put on when speaking in such situations. Which makes sense since much of the video that's shown of him speaking English is during interviews or of him speaking in some sort of formal capacity.
It'd be interesting to see some video of him speaking in a relaxed informal environment with other English speakers to see if his accent becomes broader when not making a conscious effort to be well-spoken, but I haven't come across any (admittedly I didn't try very hard to find some).
If you watch videos of Bindi Irwin she also speaks in that same sort of manner. Interestingly enough Bindi Irwin grew up 3hrs north of Brisbane in Beerwah.
@@sharielane Thank you~~~~
Jakes first language is English 😀 he just started learning Korean a year ago if you watch his audition tape you can see that his accent is very strong but not as strong as others like felix ect 😀
Felix: its noice!
he said that he's more used to korean now, so maybe that's why.
and they asked them to tone down the accent hiho
people say Jake should tone down his Aussie accent but like I love it too much 😭💕
he only learned how to speak Korean last year he grew up speaking English and his friend in Australia weren't all Korean he is fluent in English the only reason his English is rusty right now is because he has been speaking korean for the past year
I think the difficulty comes from learning korean and mixing it up. Also it might be from nervousness since he's a rookie and is not that used to talking on camera in general. They also train them to talk, like professionally, in korean so he's probably not that used or prepared to talk in english.
I went to Sydney last year, had conversations with some of them, I watch Australian Masterchef too and I think Jake sounds more Australian than Walter 🤔 sorry for being salty
5:27-5:40 the accurate explanation right here. I'm sad that the staffs ordered Jake to tone it down because it's still somehow thick. I really love his accent the way it is, eversince he was still in ILAND actually. Btw, Thank you for featuring our sweetest Jake! It mean a lot to us!
Well from a person who's working with an Australian clients, I found Jake's accent to be more Aussie than Walter. It feels like Walter just adapt to the Aussie accent while Jake seems like Aussie english is his first language and he just absorbed Korean language well that why the aussie accent toned down.This is only my opinion as I've heard a lot of Aussie accents on a daily basis.
I respectfully disagree, but I get what you are saying. Living in Brisbane, there are individuals who speak like Walter. Jake seems to be toning his accent because staff or his group may have trouble understanding his accent. And secondly, the way Jake speaks reminds me of the city folks in Brisbane. Also, there isn't single accent in Australia. There are so many different types of Australian accents.
These guys’ critiques don’t seem too credible to me. I’m bilingual myself and know that you naturally adapt to your environment. When I’m in the Philippines it takes me about a week to get fluent in Tagalog again. Then in a few weeks I start thinking in Tagalog. Same when I come back to America, within a few weeks I start forgetting Tagalog words. The accents come along with it naturally.
same here! i'm indonesian, my first language is english. i was speaking english on a daily basis up until middle school. i moved to public school, where people started talking in indonesian. there i started to slowly forget english and i moved back to private school and relearned them.
Fr, it happens to me a lot of times. I would sometimes combine words as if my mind is confused. When my friend was speaking to me in Tagalog, I once said 'Candila' (combination of candle and kandila) instead of 'kandila'. My mind was thinking in English and it was confused a lot of times since I have to use 3 languages on a daily basis. Sometimes even four
Same. I’m Aussie born Filipina with strong Aussie accent but when in Philippines I get a Filipino accent since I try to pronounce my Rs so people understand me better!
Samee!! I spent a month in NCR during the holidays and i wasnt comfy speaking filipino until about a week in. I also speak surigaonon and have surigaonon friends in school (cebu) so sometimes when i speak to my surigaonon friend or chat with my surigaonon fam for a while, it takes time to switch languages. I’d also like to add that i basically have my own dialect which is a mix of cebuano, bol-anon, and surigaonon which is why my friends sometimes struggle to understand me 🥲 i grew up speaking all of them at the same time so yeah.
You could also watch another clips of Jake speaking english in a longer version on
1. Enhypen debut trailer 1
2. Enhypen intro walk the line
3. Enhypen debut show invitation on mnet youtube
4. Enhypen performance on mama (he did the narration at the beginning)
5. Jake border view on Enhypen debut show
Oh my gosh I didn't expect to see jakieee here, since he still a rookie, thank you so much for this btw! It's intresting to see what an aussie think about other aussie who already got a little comfy in korean.
There is actually an idol who has an british accent. His name is Nam Do Hyon and he is apart of the group BAE173. He also was part of the group X1. I was kind of surprised he can speak English and his accent is a bonus.
Fyi, JAKE was born in South Korea but was Raised in Australia since he was very little.. 🥰❤️
I'm so happy to see our growth icon being talked bout 😭😭
A big shout out to all the byelinguals here 🤣 #YouAreNotAlone #LetUsStandInSolidarity
😂😂😂
I heard kor-lish from him , too
I agree that’s not strong like others idol who from Aussie
But it’s not a big problem cuz i still understand him as same.
I thought he's trying to speak clearer and tone down the Aussie so that people can understand him better, especially the staff
spanish and portuguese were my first languages, i learned English in school and i struggle with every language sometimes, i completely understand the going to one country and getting used to it, this video makes me feel better about my mistakes
I litterly love his accent and so does everyone else! I hope he never looses it since he got no one aussie in korea actually but hope it never disappears :)
so i just found out that jake went to my local primary school in Cairns, Australia, which is crazy
Gurl djdjdjdmdmdm🏃🏾♀️
like i wasn't interested in which accent is better but jake made me believe in ✨ Australian accent✨
and literally it's the best and I'm learning it sauur I'm breaking my bestie's head today
I think he lost some of his accent cuz he also went to an International school when he started training in Seoul. So he must have picked up so accents from here and there after hearing his friends speak.
so um.. he's actually pure korean blooded but he moved to australia when he was very young, their family thought they'll spend their whole life there so he have australian citizen but then jake moves again to korea for being an idol ^^ he's such a talented boy so let's support him until the end
OMG thank you so much I just left my comment on your another video 2 days ago Jake was born in Korea but he grew up in Australia.
I think you have a wrong info. jake was born and grow in australia. An came to korea last 2019.that time he study korean because he is not fluent. The info. Is in google in his bio. Hehe thank you
Jake was born and grew up in Australia.
he was born in Brisbane,Australia and was raised there
He said in a videocall that he didn't born in Brisbane
@@yunnisimm no he’s never said that he said he moved to Australia when he was a kid
I felt so weird hearing them talking about jake talking with a korean accent/style and struggling with english
Ikr 🤣
Gotta be honest lol
Jisoo is 28 Years Old, She's older than other K Pop Stars! She's like an Aunt!
Walter sounds more Aussie than I do and I live here haha. When I come back to Korea post Covid, I can be your Aussie friend to recharge your Aussie batteries haha XD
Yeah Dylan from D-CRUNCH has a really interesting accent because he was born in New Zealand and at age 5 moved to korea and then moved back to New Zealand and then back to korea again🤣 so he speaks fluent English but his accent is interesting to listen to
nam do hyon from BAE173 (previously in X1) has a British accent from what i remember he learned the american accent first but then he went to an international school and there all his classmates had a British accent so he picked it up fast since he was young at that time
anyone here who agree that jake's accent is strong ✋
dpr-ian/Christian Yu (former member of c-clown with stage name ROME) is also from australia and his accent is pretty much still there i think, cause he talk mostly in english whenever he's going live on instagram. also when he was part of c-clown and they appeared in a show called after school club, he talks alot in english. so i suggest you guys to check him out.
Stan jake stan enhypen
The main reason is parenting. His parents are korean and the way they teach their children are different. Walter was with aussie parents so he got bold aussie accent, however Jake learned both korean english and australian english from his parents and society. If you guys travel different parts in australia you can hear so many versions on aussie accent. Children from arab parents have their own version, same goes to indian, chinese and so on....
well english is Jake’s first language and he actually revealed in a vlive that before his audition he barely knew any korean, he even played an audio clip of him practicing (it was adorable), it’s just that unlike Rosè and Chan and Felix, in Enhypen, Jake is the only fluent english speaker (there is Jay as well who is also fluent in english but Korean is more comfortable for him), Chan and Felix can use english with eachother and Rosè has Jennie and Lisa to talk with, and you know what they say, use it or lose it, the less he speaks in english and the more he has to speak in korean, the less and less he’ll be able to remember english and his accent will get weaker and weaker, if you compare his accent now to the video from his audition, it’s definitely gotten softer and less apparent.
Jake was born and raised in Korea he said it in vlive and he moved to Australia with his parents in his 3rd grade for him and his brother's education he said. His parents are very education oriented so that's why they moved. He actually was a Korean born raised. But by the time he went back to Korea he said he had to pick up and learn a lot of Korean language and culture. It seemed to be like that cause he looks and acts such a foreigner since he had spent majority of his growth period in Australia. He also laughed at his Korean accent that he recorded when he was a trainee after he debuted and he laughed so hard.
Finally my lovely Jake 😍
They actually made him tone it down. :>
The closest to a British accent that I know of in KPOP is Ten from NCT (he’s in the subunit WayV), he went to Shrewsbury International School, a private school in Bangkok that is affiliated with Shrewsbury School, an independent boarding school here in the UK in a town called Shrewsbury (say shr-oh’s-bree). He definitely has a Thai accent when he speaks English but you can occasionally hear British English influences in his speaking. But YangYang from NCT (also in the subunit WayV, which is actually a Chinese subunit (NCT is very confusing!)) lived in Düsseldorf, Germany for 6 years of his teenage life. As such he speaks English with a German accent, which I think is pretty cool. And if Ten and YangYang are speaking together without the rest of the group around they’ll often (but not always) speak in English with each other, with some Korean and some Mandarin thrown in just for good measure 😉.
It sounds like an Australian Accent with (what I assume is) a more Korean melodic way of speaking. Which would help explain why they heard a mix of accents.
When I went to France on exchange, I found when I spoke in English I would still speak melodically in French. It would help French speakers understand my english.
I knew people in highschool in Brisbane who had only ever spoken aussie english but had similar, very slight accents because their parents and community members were not native australian english speakers. I'm not sure but could be the case.
Cheers from Melbourne also :))
I want his Australian accent. It is so pretty!
Sam Carter is british kpop singer who was in lunafly. I'm not sure if they are still active. Other aussie kpop stars are prince mak (former JJCC), kevin kim (ZE:A), christian yu (former cclown), hayana (former Evol), Hanbyul Jang (former ledapple and former host of arirang after school club). I hope this helps!
There is a new Aussie KPOP idol, Steven, and he's from Sydney (born in Sydney apparently). He's from the group 'Luminous' but since they're a rookie group, there's not many videos of him speaking English.
Actually there is a British idol called Dohyon from BAE173 (former X1 member) he used to go to a British school and his accent is still there.
I love so much jake
This makes sense now I think. Jake was born from Korea and went to Australia when he was in elementary. Plus the fact that he is talking with both his parents in Korean while he is talking with his brother in english
All in all, Jake's accent still sounds attractive for me
Isn't Walter from Brisbane?! That's where Jake is from too!
Nam Dohyeon from BAE173 speaks british accent. You should make a video reaction to his british accent 🤗
1:40
If I remember right, jake was born in korea but then moved to austrailia when he was a kid :)
Another Kpop Aussie liner is, Steven from Luminous
Same with the Philippines. We use American English.. We also have "filipino english" words. And some british english words are not familiar with us. Though some people know it.
Are you Korean?
Ohhh guy on the right is wearing the same sweater as Sunghoon. Cuteeee
Sometimes it's hard to switch languages, especially when you're nervous, and also when you don't really know who you're really talking to.... I suffer from the same issues lol
i think dohyun from BAE173 has a british accent, apparently he studied at a british school when he was younger
There are one kpop idol that using british accent when he is speaking english his name is Nam Do Hyun from Bae173
Jake speaking English is like music to my eyahs
What Walter said about pretty much everything is how I felt after Jennie’s cover of When Will My Life Begin.. it sounded a bit awkward especially her r’s. It sounded like anㅏorㅓ instead. Idk she has a mix of NZ, British and American. lol but everyone knows I’d get wrecked if I commented this on her cover 💀
of course you will if you comment that on her video. the accent has nothing to do with her cover, she’s showing her singing, not how good she can speak english
@@binnieszone eek my comment flew right over your head
There's an Australian idol called Steven from the group Luminous. You guys could check him out
Yes dohyun from x1 (former member ) speaks British
the shirt of the 2nd guy, same as sunghoon's
i kind of agree that his first language is korean cuz he said he was born in korean and in my opnion jake has both korean parents, they would be talking in korean at home
Stan ENHYPEN for better life♡
Check out Rome from C-Clown, he's from Sydney if I remember correctly
Tome mas interés en los cantantes de kpop con nacionalidad australiana gracias a Jake y me encanta escucharlo hablar con su acento en las entrevistas, espero algún día el pueda conocer a Bangchan y Felix :) ♥
my bias jakeee
bae173 has a member who speaks with a british accent !! nam dohyon :)
발음이 어떻든 제이크 너무 멋져ㅠ 영어 너무 잘해ㅐㅐㅠ퓨 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ제이도 그렇유ㅠㅠㅠ
I think the aussie man looks a bit like felix but i really like aussie accent it’s faster i was loving English language since i am child and want to join school just to learn English before my language an arabic person so now i am get older and being a bit professional of English than me before few years and now i see other accent than British and American accent i saw Australian accent so it’s more good and i enjoy tryin learn it , i wish i can travel Australia first ya know i get everyday closer to Australia it’s a perfect country 🥰
As an Australian he has the slightest “Asian” accent which I think is what you were talking about in the beginning. He doesn’t sound fully Aussie. Probably because his guest language was Korean.
선댓글 후감상!
nam dohyon from BAE173 speaks fluent english and he has a british accent
you know you are too used to subtitles when your eyes keep going down to the lower frame of the video lol
I recommend felix ASMR ep1.. Even when he whispers, we could hear his australian accent..
# sorry for my english
3rd like, comment and view love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰💖💖💖
He was born in Brisbane, Australia and has spoken English for his whole life but because he is now immersed in Korean culture, he is gaining a more 'Korean accent'.
they said he mightve got less of his accent in korea but i- literally so many people i know dont havr as much of an aussie accent than even jake :>
He’s doing great for having basically just starting to learn Korean....his accents are confused right now 😂 He’ll figure it out and I think it sounds good for the amount of time he’s had lol
Lol what? He was born and raised in Australia. English is his 1st language.
There’s actually a kpop idol who speaks English with the British accent pretty well . His name is Nam Dohyon and he debuted in 2020 in the group BAE173 it would be awesome if you guys check him out and tell your opinions about him!!☺️
Yes, DoHyonnie😭
He was born in australia and started learning korean he had tried to tone down his aussie accent so they understood and it didnt seem so strong he doesnt have any aussie friends to talk to so he is loosing it too but he will have that accent for a long time and hopefully visits australia lots
He was born in Korea
Why is it so surprising when an idol can speak English or has an accent?
cs theyre korean?? lol
Jake is just so attractive 😍
He was actually born in Korea , but moved to Australia at a young age and continue living there until the age of 18/19 I believe, he then decided to move back to Korea to fulfill his dream of becoming an idol
Dohyun of BAE173 who is former X1 member can speak English in British accent
Yes, that's true.
i personally think it doesn’t sound konglish, i would say it’s because of the college and the international school. I would say his accent is a mix of american and aussie. I mean he is fluent in english, he did move at the age of 5 to australia
he is actually korean but was born in australia which is why his conversation is like little bit korean..(sorry for my bad English)
When he first came to korea, he said that his accent was very thick compared to now, but then he first learn korea just years after he came from korea. Since he is still bad and learning korean, he is trying to speak korean and be familiar with it, but then he is also like losing the accent a bit since he is immersing himself with korean more than english,
