@@user-lm7ib6dx4n yeah but he just speaks more English than Korean? like there isn't a video where he doesn't speak it, and I don't blame him, he was born and raised in an English speaking country, so its only natural, like he even said in his solo video that he just speaks English so randomly without even realising it
him constantly switching back to english is literally every person who grew up speaking their mother language but stopped because they spoke english at school
Same with me!!😭😭 I speak English, Türkish and Bulgarian!! And when I try to speak English I speak the 3 languages at the same time sometimes, and it becomes a total mess!!😭😭 On top of that is even more difficult when I'm writing. For example when I write in Bulgarian I write in türkish or English by accident.😅😭😭
i feel like everyone forgets that even though Mark is Korean he literally grew up in Canada so like English is and probably always will be his best language
If we’re being completely honest Mark rlly be speaking English 95% of time💀he tries rlly hard to speak korean especially in front of the cameras for shows and etc. But when it’s his own little live streams his English habits come out😂but I always praise him for trying hard but korean isn’t easy and I understand him just naturally speaking English. I mean Johnny does the same thing but he does not care and will speak in full English then maybe try and translate into korean later😂but it’s cute that mark tries so hard to just speak korean all the time.
honestly, i feel for him. im Chinese (as in, my parents are Chinese, and literally all my relatives) but i was born and raised in Europe. so, in turn, my English is HELLA better than my Chinese, even tho ppl expect the opposite. also the fact that English and Chinese (and any language that developed from Chinese, Korean included) are SO different doesnt help either rly, its a matter of environment, the longer u stay somewhere and see the language being used in everyday life, u slowly get more fluent. However, English is always gonna be Mark's first (or at least, first-accustomed-to) language, and thats why hes the most fluent in it. But lets be honest, the fact that hes bilingual anyway is pretty impressive, and its pretty nice for international fans to communicate with him (u saw how Johnny and him were on Buzzfeed and co.) in conclusion: *Mark is a genius* (im sry for ranting, i literally wrote a novel, but yeah)
Yeah, I agree, as a Chinese staying in Canada ever since I was three, it really impacted me. My English is way better than my Chinese, although I do know how to speak Chinese pretty well, I have no idea how to read or write it, as you said, it really depends on the environment
i didn't realize it until now (because i'm not korean lol) but he really mumbles a lot of his korean really fast and sometimes speaks korean with a western intonation (lol), and this is most obvious when you compare how he speaks korean to how the native korean members in his group speak korean XD
In my story, “WayVee,” Mark Black (A-Pop star), is a rapper in a Korean band, DREAMBAND, and raps well. He is similar to Mark Lee (NCT), but he’s Chinese-American (his Chinese surname means “Black” in English, so his parents changed it to “Black,” but his band mate, I. K. keeps teasing him for his poor Korean compared to I. K. and keeps saying that he’s better than Mark and that Mark is Korean. But Mark Black didn’t learn Korean until he made it to England, and stayed in Korea for a year, but he’s good enough in conversation.
@@ivythesoul there both pretty good. I think there both the same level , tho Mark is Korea he can’t read / write / or speak Korean for shit. . And that’s mostly bc his mind mostly thinks in English he admitted like two months ago that his Korean is getting worse. But he can still speak it he just struggles a lot.
As someone who is bilingual but struggles with my second language, this is super relatable. It's that feeling of not being able to get your point across in the way you want unlike your native language, the words coming up easily in your head in your native language but you keep snapping your fingers trying to pull the same word but in that second language out of your ass, people not being considerate and just laughing or talking over you when they see you legit struggling. .. it's a mess lol. Not to mention, the utter frustration of your listening skills being better than your speaking skills lmao.
1:47 Two things: Mark is right : NCT DREAM IS LOVE Haechan is right: They just shot a legendary vlive. Another thing: Among the foreign line, Renjun is the most fluent (probably) or Johnny.
I remember in Hot and Young Episodes that he keeps on talking and asking everything in English while Johnny answers in Korean but the fact that both of them are both foreigners are so funny.
yuta went from "my korean is better than marks" to "maaaaark love me back" classic cse of a bully bullying his crush hahahahaha stan yumark for that y/n bully falls for nerd fanfic anime shit
Mark was born in toronto and raised there until he was 7. Then he moved to nyc and stayed there until he was 12 and moved back to vancouver and lived there until he was about 15. He joined sm in 2012 when he passed an audition held in vancouver. I adopted this info from namuwiki btw. Though i am kinda confused as it wrote there that he was introduced as smrookies in 2013 and yet he lived in vancouver during that time? He lived in vancouver until he was 15 which means that it was 2014
English is his first language whether he is Korean or not because he was born and raised in English speaking country. In NCT life he was confused when he heard words he never heard… he is comfortable in both the languages but how can one forget English where it is use everywhere
In Mickey Mouse Club, Mark briefly mentioned the culture shock he had when he first moved to Korea as an idol trainee. Does he ever go into detail in another video about what his experiences were like when he first started training? I am curious about what specific things he struggled with, or still struggle with.
I feel him when he keeps shifting back to English. I was taught English and my mother tongue at the same time so I kept speaking in a mix since I was a kid. And I still do that especially when someone asks me to speak my mother tongue.
this is so me with my mother tongue lol. the first language i learned was russian but i started going to an english speaking school so now i’m *byelingual* 😂
I'm a 7 yrs *EXO-L* ended up stunning *MARK* when he and xiumin collab on SM Station. This boy is such a cutie but full of talents. He really captured my attention after that. I'm not into rapper since I'm a *DANDANIES* (d.o fan name) as u Know my man *D.O* is a great singer 100%. But after I looked up to MARK I got really stunned of how capable this kid is. He Dance so well, no doubt he's a MAIN DANCER! But what I like the most to him is the uniqueness of his rapping, and I'm sorry but I can't explain it well bc English is not my first language. But all I can say that he really has this unique rap that I can't find to other idols. You can really hear loud and clear when he rap. He really slayed Everytime he performed! His lit performer! He can also sing
I feel proud of him, and all idols who do not speak Korean as a first language. They definitely work extra hard to nail their pronunciation for their air. I salute you all. And it gives me hope that its an universal truth that we all have that amazing 'What the actual F@#$ is going on here' while studying foreign languages. Happened to me with English, and now with Japanese and Korean. I call it my FelixMark face aka my 'I have no idea what is going on in my life anymore' face
No, Mark is canadian. Well im not believe that first. But i saw the biodata on the internet, and every web wrote that his nationality is Canada. Even his passport. U guys can take a look his passport and other nct members nationality.
Yes, his ethnicity is Korean because his parents are both Korean but his parents moved to Canada and gave him a born there. So technically, Mark's nationality is Canadian, he's a Canada's citizen since he was born in Toronto. (btw he even has korean name , Lee Minhyung. that's enough to know that he's korean, isn't it? lol)
0:59 i cAn fEel hIm. I'm from argentina and a LOT of times i have a one way conversation with my family or friends (because they can't understand me [except my brothers and my dad]) in english without realizing it. Or, i can't explain myself because i forget how to say the thing in spanish but, i remember how to say it in english (for example, yesterday i forgot how to say "bucket" in spanish so i was like "uuuuhh... Eso... El coso, el bucket... Cómo se decía bucket en español? Eeeeeeh.... B... Balde? Sisis el balde"
Mark just wants to make Korean fans read instead of making us read all the time lmao
Thoughtful baby cuz he probably knows how we feel lol 🤣🤣

LiKe
Those are his catchphrases! Lol
He grew up in an english speaking country. He will always be that way.
him constantly switching back to english is literally every person who grew up speaking their mother language but stopped because they spoke english at school
YESS MEEE. I feel so sad because I speak a mix of both languages now and it's difficult for others to understand
omg yes.
**laughs at myself for speaking illongo and english**
same, i think I'm losing my mother language since i speak english to my family and friends
Same with me!!😭😭 I speak English, Türkish and Bulgarian!! And when I try to speak English I speak the 3 languages at the same time sometimes, and it becomes a total mess!!😭😭 On top of that is even more difficult when I'm writing.

I’m so glad Mark has Johnny who understands how difficult learning Korean can be from an English speakers perspective
i feel like everyone forgets that even though Mark is Korean he literally grew up in Canada so like English is and probably always will be his best language
5:17 HIS BIG EYES WHEN FEELING LOST IS SO CUTE HELO
I like YuMark but this makes me miss the days when Yuta was just a savage towards him. Hilarious 😂
He had Winwin back then
2:23 LMAO I JUST REALIZED HE ACCIDENTALLY PUT OUT HIS MIDDLE FINGER

Yuta just won’t let Mark live😂
This is the main reason why I am always falling in love MARK!

1:37 the way he even uses a Korean pronunciation of ‘tour’ then corrects himself all while not realising he’s stopped speaking Korean
Love Mark, best kid ever! And Johnny’s “dude tell me about it ” was sooo comforting !!
honestly, i feel for him.
im Chinese (as in, my parents are Chinese, and literally all my relatives) but i was born and raised in Europe.
so, in turn, my English is HELLA better than my Chinese, even tho ppl expect the opposite.
also the fact that English and Chinese (and any language that developed from Chinese, Korean included) are SO different doesnt help either
rly, its a matter of environment, the longer u stay somewhere and see the language being used in everyday life, u slowly get more fluent. However, English is always gonna be Mark's first (or at least, first-accustomed-to) language, and thats why hes the most fluent in it.
But lets be honest, the fact that hes bilingual anyway is pretty impressive, and its pretty nice for international fans to communicate with him (u saw how Johnny and him were on Buzzfeed and co.)
in conclusion: *Mark is a genius*
(im sry for ranting, i literally wrote a novel, but yeah)
Yeah, I agree, as a Chinese staying in Canada ever since I was three, it really impacted me. My English is way better than my Chinese, although I do know how to speak Chinese pretty well, I have no idea how to read or write it, as you said, it really depends on the environment
Mark: in his own world
Yuta: My korean is better than mark honestly
😂 how they just clown mark all the time
Yes 😇🥰
Bruh every sentence is either like, um, what, and only mumbled korean and all english. What a cute child
i didn't realize it until now (because i'm not korean lol) but he really mumbles a lot of his korean really fast and sometimes speaks korean with a western intonation (lol), and this is most obvious when you compare how he speaks korean to how the native korean members in his group speak korean XD
How can Mark be so cute like literally the cutest thing I've seen in kpop there's no one in the same league.
Yow this one is the most funniest thing i've ever watched today u literally made my whole day🤣🤣🤣 stan Mark Lee as alwayssss
Just speak the language you're most comfortable with, Mark... Don't push yourself too much...
“The possibility of all of these possibilities being possible is just another possibility that can possibly happen."
Still one of my favorites😂
he's like the most adorable person ever!!!
mark wasn’t even my first bias but he was like this literally EVERY TIME he’s on screen how could i not fall for him 😔✊

So Mark is korean who lived in canada and his first language is actually english? How many year that he live there?
He was born and raised in Toronto (Canada)
He also lived in America, I guess.
He lived there until he moved to Korea for his training.
@@aditi_h so half of his life he been talking in eng. No wonder then
Yeah he was around 12ish when he left Canada, which is usually an age where children settle into their native language (English in his case).
He was born in Toronto, but raised in Vancouver
Mark was born in toronto and raised there until he was 7. Then he moved to nyc and stayed there until he was 12 and moved back to vancouver and lived there until he was about 15. He joined sm in 2012 when he passed an audition held in vancouver.
