1. Park Bo Gum
Let’s start off the list with our cutest Bogummy. If you didn’t know, Park Bo Gum can definitely ace an interview overseas and answer questions in straight English. He totally surprised us with this unexpected skill. Our Bogummy is truly a man of many talents.
Fanmeet:
• Park Bo Gum speaks imp...
2. Choi Woo Shik
Choi Woo Shik has been on our radar for quite some time, but for the new fans he gained from the award-winning movie, Parasite, there is still more to learn about him. And of course, we're here to share with you one great fact. With the undeniable success of Parasite, the actor, together with the cast, attended award shows and events outside Korea. And as the interviews started, you couldn't believe what you were hearing. Choi Woo Shik was actually responding in fluent English!
3. Park Min Young
Never has it crossed our minds that our favorite cute comedian actress knows how to speak English. We've seen many of her Korean dramas, but lengthy scenes of her speaking in English? Not really. That's why our eyes grew wide with this discovery about the actress.
4. Gong Yoo
Okay, okay, who had their eyes grow wide when Gong Yoo’s Louis Vuitton commercial came out? The luxury brand’s ad had him endorsing a product while speaking in English, and his pronunciation shook us all. He spoke smoothly and confidently.
5. Shin Se Kyung
Another star who showed everyone that you don’t have to study or live abroad to learn English is Shin Se Kyung. Like with most stars, we truly don’t know what they’re capable of until we witness their skills during interviews, off-cam moments, or reality shows. For Shin Se Kyung, we learned about her good English speaking abilities on the show Pocha Beyond Borders.
6. Han Ye Seul
We often assume that the Korean actors and actresses speak Korean as their first language. For Han Ye Seul, this isn’t the case because her first language is actually English! Okay, hands up if you didn’t know this. We didn’t either! Have you watched some of her dramas?
7. Siwon Choi
Next on our list is Siwon Choi. If you’re part of the K-pop world you probably already know that the Super Junior member is fluent in English. But if you’re from the K-drama world, you might not know that the She Was Pretty and Revolutionary Love star can hold a conversation in English.
8. Lee Byung Hun
This may not be a secret to many but it would be a crime to leave out Lee Byung Hun from this list. Of course, we’re adding him to this video because some of you might not know how fluent the actor is in English.
9. Ahn Hyo Seop
Remember that scene with Ahn Hyo Seop in Abyss where he was on a call speaking in English? He had such a great accent, we were so confused whether it came naturally or it was just well-practiced. Anyway, we’re here to clear up the confusion. Ahn Hyo Seop is definitely fluent in English. Shocking right? What’s even more surprising is that the actor lived in Canada.
10. Bae Doona
Trying to make a name for herself outside Korea, Bae Doona has been in multiple foreign films and series, including Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending, and Sense8. She appeared on our screens with English-speaking roles, and maybe you’re thinking that she might have studied English or stayed a few years in the US, but in reality, the actress never forced herself to learn English. It just came naturally.
11. Kang Sora
The looks, the acting, and her English speaking skills - Kang Sora is totally keeping us impressed. How did the actress learn English? Did she grow up in the US?
12. Lee Seo Jin
Putting his skills in English to good use, Lee Seo Jin has been really helpful to grandpas trying to navigate their way around several tourist spots in Grandpas Over Flowers. How did the actor learn English?
13. Kim Ji Seok
Kim Ji Seok has constantly served us with feel-good and comedic dramas. His goofy portrayals got us so distracted, that we never really thought about how smart he really was. First off, he knows how to speak in English. - บันเทิง

"Disgaarsting Shaittttt" has no comparison with these!!
Exactly
Lee min ho? 🤣
lmao je suis dead 💀
@@huanle6325 lmao bonjour mon ami
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When Gong yoo said “play store” in Goblin better than any American can, I already knew he was fluent in English😭
lol
Yes i noticed that too. His pronunciation was 👌
That part caught me off guard.
I felt the same in that scene
Yh me too😁
It’s not a big sủrprise that young actors and actresses can speak fluently English but for actors like Lee Buyng Huyn or Gong Yoo who was born before the 80s and didnt have many chance to learn the language from early age, it’s a great deal for them to be fluent at a foreign language. I was blown away to hear his “play store” pronuciation in Goblin. This man is truly talented. And for Lee, i’ve been his fan for years since I first heard him speaking English in movies. No wonder he is an international star.
Yeahh exactly...
Actually Byung hun learned English because he had to film Hollywood movies. And the pronunciation is amazing I'm sure you heard him.
I’m so
When someone has a passion to learn new language, everything is possible
Even if it's celeb or commonors this is the reason we get surprised to see when a non English speaker speaking fluent English
Gong Yoo’s voice is beautiful no matter what language he’s speaking!
Gong Yoo. his voice hits different when he speaks in english.
Can be used in google tho😂
You were right..
Mine is different when I speak Korean. Tonal inflection can do this.
Where do I get videos in which he is speaking in English?
And he learn by him self... Not even go to a class... 😍
OK this might be too specific.. But does anybody remember gong yoo's "playstore" in goblin?
I do. That's when I noticed he's fluent.
🙋
My favorite scene 💕💕
That was so funny because it was pronounced so perfectly in middle of Korean lol
He said it with so much f l a v o r oof
Can we all just agree that Park Bogum can make a brick wall smile
Yes!
Park Bogum speak good English? I don’t think so I heard him talking in English not very well.Gong yo I’m empress and surprised his good good accent .
Oh yes. Love his soft deep voice. So soothing
@@lolaorais4735 watch his conversation at fans meet in Manila. He is doing it naturally without any help. And it's impromptu
It shines when he smiles..
OK TAECYEON. OK TAECYEON.
he should be on the list
True while I was watching him on Vicenzo he really does have a good english accent.
@@nie1767 he was raised in America
@@nie1767 he’s from boston 😭
He's Korean American..sooo obviously.
Everyone must be knowing about Stephanie Lee (Start Up).
Truee
she's American...
She is actually and American Korean
. She spoke 25 percent English in another crime thriller I don't remember the name of. She was a lab investigator in the drama
@@debaleenachowdhury Yongpal or Partner Of Justice if im not mistaken
Because she’s American and Korean lol.
Park Jinyoung of GOT7 is another great example...... he's English is chef's kiss even though English is not his first language
Not really fluent but yes he can speak english. Good enough to pull off a conversation confidently. He's pronunciation and voice is fine tho.
True. He can speak english quite well. He said he learn english diligently during this quarantine.. Well probably he want to reach Hollywood with BH ent? 😁😁
I thought jyp i was confused hshs

You forgot Taecyon of 2pm miss. His current series is Vincenzo wherein he is a villain, a perfectly handsome villain.
Hello fan 💖
Thanks for your comments.. hope you’re having a good time,.....
@@leejoongi4262 huh?
@Ashley Ann Carable nooooo I thought he would be in the video 😭😭😭
Taecyon speaks so well, his accent is amazing.. I enjoy hearing him speak English
With his perfect english 👌🏻😩
Choi Woo Sik drives me crazy literally. He's so beautiful in my eyes...
When korean celebrities can’t speak English people be like “awww cute” but when the celebrities or people in my country mispronounce or can’t speak in English properly they be like “eww illiterate, uneducated”
Lol...the difference 🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely!!!!

let's not forget lee joongi who starred in Resident Evil alongside Milla Jovovich..those dating rumors couldn't have been for nothing if he didn't speak English, amirite?
Really what resident evil that lg starred?there resident evil 1 & 2 right
@@febbytuason2083 resident evil the final chapter from 2016 😊
He speaks fluent english in his ig lives! @actor_jg
@@astra4796 omg really? I've been following him since november or december i think but he didn't do any lives since then or i missed them :(
@@mirunabeda511 same case! I've always missed his ig lives which is very sad but there's a yt channel wherein she translates all JG's live. He is very approachable and funny in his lives
Me thinking abt Lee Min Ho's "dIsgUrsdTinG sHyiet"
😂😂😂 I can't forget that iconic line
where?
@@netsanetlukas374 its not here, just thinking about it
@@netsanetlukas374 did you watch "Legend of the Blue Sea"?
@@ms.multifan4950 no but i will soon
Cha Eun Woo is also good in English. In one of episode of the master's in the house TV program there was a game that the hosts had to do quizz to explain something to the foreigner, and Eun Woo could do that perfectly, with good pronunciation too.
i still can’t get over ahn hyo seop line in abyss😩, i remember being surprised last year when i watch it
I had to replay it😂
rightt- even though I knew he could speak fluent English already, I was shook.
He sounded like Johnny from NCT.
yeah and I remember stalking the hell out of him
I get shocked too even until now, but then I just remember that one episode of a show w/ him & jackson wang talking about their trainee days at jyp & jackson calling him paul since that was his english name back in canada
Gong yoo's English had me drooling 😂😂 I can hear him speaking English whole day ♥️
Taechyon 2PM also can speak in english fluently. We can see him now on Korean Drama, Vincenzo.
Indeed. Now I'm watching this film anad I'm also looking forward the next episode on Nextfilx. To be honest, it is undeniable magnificent content and the cast in this film. As they all have a good-looking appearance that it make me can not take my eyes off this during the movie is showing. I hope if anyone've not watch this yet, you should watch it and relax your mind
This is a fact for more than 10 years. He interacts with SNSD Jessica and Tiffany during the golden years of 2nd gen
Taecyeon lived in america from 10 to 17 so its only natural that he learned english
He's from Boston. So, of course...
He speaks better English than me
Taecyeon also speaks fluent English. He spoke a little English in Vincenzo, but he learned it in the US.
It’s funny when they speak Korean followed by fluent English like in that one scene of goblin 😂
"playstore"
Lol I get that humour
When you get a Goblin reference 😌 lol
Which ep was it?
Back in 2016, Park Bo Gum knew a little of the language, as seen in the Youth Over Flowers Africa. Now, he’s gotten so good! He really worked hard❤️
He speaks english so well when he visited Philippines. Park Bo Gum👍👍
I noticed that whenever they're speaking in english the tone of their voice becomes different.
That's the case for everyone. I'm french, but the tone of my voice is different in english. Even in german tho !
I teach it. If you want to sound like a native speaker, you have to learn placements too. That's what they did.
A lot of people don't believe I teach English when speaking our dialect. My teaching voice (English voice) is not the same as my "normal' voice 😅😅😅
It's amazing when you think about it lol. My voice is lower in my native language but becomes higher when I speak English or Italian, and even higher when it comes to Korean lmao.
Yeah, I’ve noticed with both me and others that the tone is lower with English. I think a lot of Asian languages are just higher pitch.
wooshik really hits different:>>
I like wooshik accent in English
His English is just flawless, I was like 😲 in the Netflix movie Okja...
Watch him in Youn Stay..his english is perfect...😍
He grew up in Canada so it's most likely his mother tongue (aside from Korean ofc).
When Choi Siwon spoke English on She Was Pretty, my uterus literally exploded.
Anyone remember “DisGuRstInG ShiT”
-Lee Min Ho (The Legend Of The Blue Sea)
Lol I will always remember that!
🤣🤣
I watched Her Private Life and I was surprised when I heard Park Min Young speaking English as part of her character calling New York. She did a awesome job,
Shin Se-Kyung in Run On right now is really impressing me with her English ❤️
Ya true 👌👌
Like mad, it was really good
I love her 😍
Yeah absolutely love her and the show is really amazing 😍
Yup... And she's so pretty. 😍
Ok but I really love to hear Ahn Hyoseop speaking English. It's more charming and cute for me 😭💙
Let's include Park Eun-seok who portrayed Logan Lee from Penthouse. His accent was superb❤️❤️❤️
Agree
He lived in NY from 7 to 21. So of course he has a native accent.
Lee Byung Hun, omg his voice in Squid Game is extremely attractive!!!!!
GOSH EPIC MOMENT WHEN SHE BROKE THE TABLE
Bruh, I was exactly in that part when I read your comment
It's totally ok if they don't speak second language. Their mother tongue is Korean.
Yeah also keeping in mind that English is not a compulsory language in Korean schools so it's absolutely fine if they aren't fluent in English coz that doesn't diminish their talent anyway 😄
It's definitely okay. But for any working professional, acquiring a new skills, whether it's English or coding, can make them more valuable in the workplace.
It's still a big advantage for them if they want to work internationally
Okay, I don't know why people try to make the world smaller than it is. There r probably more than a billion people who's first language(mother tongue) is NOT English. And we learn it, not because we like it, but because it is beneficial. I think it should be the same for these idols in streams that might take them internationally.
And true , they don't hv to learn a second language, but ur "Their mother tongue is Korean" threw me off. Seems there r a lot of stereotypes surrounding languages that need to be broken.
@@pride1748 Only language higher is Mandarin.
Shin Sekyung is the best, she studied so well on her own ❣
I love that in addition to telling us about their skills you guys also gave their movies...
I love that
Jackson really do pop up everywhere 😂💚
"Penthouse" Park Eun-Seok as (Logan Lee) speaks English like it was his native language
Ikrrrrrrr
We could ald see it in the drama so I don't think it it's suitable in this vid cause it's "actors you didn't know..."
Because it was his native language, he grew up in the US and learned korean later. I assume like many cases with 1st/2nd gen east asian immigrants they're fluent in english and speak broken asian language at home instead lol which is kinda sad
@@MP-el4hc ohh no wonder
YES. I totally agree!
I love how you also promote the actors :)
I learned english by myself and had a blast doing it. Took me 5 years of watching shows and reading subtitles tough 😂🤘
I started learning Korean lately and I also gave myself 5 years to be fluent 😅😅 I hope I will make it. Reading your comment just gave me hope. 💪🏽💪🏽
Jung Ryeo-won from History of a Salaryman and Medical Top Team speaks fluent English since she immigrated to Australia as a kid. She has a lot of English lines in My Name is Kim Sam Soon.
The same goes for Gong Hyo-jin (Master's Sun and It's Okay, That's Love) whose family also moved to Australia for a short time when she was young.
Ryu Jun Yeol speaks English really well. Based on the reality shows Youth Over Flowers and The Traveler. His English name is Anthony :)
I watched The Traveler ❤️
Couldn't agree with you more!
Taecyeon is so good in english. I am watching Vincenzo right now and his accent is like so fluent 💖
He lived in Massachusetts not far from me for 7 years.
@@BlueMeaney49 oh really?😍 I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info
Enjoyed this ♥️
Kim Ji Suk spoke in french too, in the K-drama named ”Another Miss Oh.”
And his accent was very good. ♥
Yeah BoGummy is very good in speaking English as he was in the interview here in the Philippines..it was an impromptu...love it!
AHN HYO SEOPPPP. discovered him from Doctor Romantic 2 and loved him.
this list is definitely more the actors who you didn't expect to know english. i sure did not know choi woo shik knew english. shin se kyung surprised me a lot because she sounded pretty darn fluent besides missing some words.
Ahn Hyo-seop is really fluent in english and the way he speak in the series of "abyss" he's accent is nostalgic and sexy
Bae Doo Na... I'm blown, what a beautiful talent, just marvelous❤️❤️❤️
I love Lee Seo-jin. He's so confident and charming. And a great actor, of course.
😁me too
It's so fun to hear the difference in voice tones when Koreans speak English.
Thank you very muchie 😘😘
Oh my gosh, they're all so good looking, smart and charming. It made my heart flutter hearing them speak my language (though I love Korean, too, and think it's a beautiful language)!!
idem pour moi !!!
Thanks dear

Thanks for your comments....

Oh, lookie, TWO fake korean stars on my post. How do I rate? LOL

Thanks to you all i call my fan i appreciate all the support and love you have been given to me all this years you all made me whom i am today i want to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind gesture towards me and am most grateful to have you as my fan... 💌
Well done 👏
Where's Krystal? Teo Yoo? Jasper Cho? Taecyeon? Teo Yoo is fluent in English and German and he is also an alumnus of the Lee Strasberg Institute. Since Cha Eun Woo has already joined the drama world, he should also be included. Did you even hear Jasper Cho's English in My Secret Terius? Park Eun Seok, Lee Ji Ah and Eugene from Penthouse are also fluent. Eugene lived in Guam before she returned to Korea. Since she studied there and had very good grades, she should be fluent in English. I believe Im Siwan is also good in English. If you saw him speak in Let's Eat Dinner Together (in Hawaii), his English was very natural.
Is there any interview or drama where Cha Eun Woo spoke English?
@@ifeleke4201 watch masters in the house ep. 116 he spoke english there.
@@ifeleke4201 Yeah.. I think, you can watch a stint of him speaking English in the KCON arrival or something like that....

“Penthouse” Actor Park Eun Seok
Choi woo shik's English in "The Witch" is a blessing to my ears
Nice one
Ok taecyeon is definitely one of them
Yeah I'm very interested in your comment
I’m a simple girl- I see Park Bo Gum, I click
Literally same 😂
impressively awesome!! Korean celebrities are really great!!
Wish u would add a other part of this video very soon with other members u didn't talk about. Waiting for it.🤗
Choi Woo Shik english is so good.. Him speaking english was my favorite part of the movie The Witch 😍😍
i also watched Shin Se Kyung in Run On its on Netflix and she plays an interpreter for an athlete in the show.
I didn't regret watching even 1 second of this video. Thank you
kang sora's and gong you's pronunciations are literally perfect!!
Do Kyungsoo’s English is also super good many of his English covers can be found on TH-cam, they’re all so good
You forgot to mention
Ma Dong Seok
Jeon Jong Seo
Choi Tae Joon
Also Lee Jae Yoon .... ❤️
Ma Dong Seok is one of the cast in the new movie of marvels this year 🥳
Actress Lee Honey also. Not so suprising bcos she's a SNU graduate & has competed in Miss Universe.
Also Rain
Trueeee they are really great
Thanks so so much for English subs. Great…….
most of the cast from Youn's Kitchen / Stay where they set up restaurant/ BnB for foreigners. they are all fluent in English. Especially Park Seo Joon. 🥰
How come Su- Ryeon and Logan Lee from Penthouse were not included 😱
Part II please 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Park Eunseok & Lee Jiah 🥰🥰
Ikr!?!?!
Su ryeon really shocked me
and eguene too
Yeah .lee ji ah and eugene too
there's HYUN BIN too. You gotta add him in the list.
Well, I haven’t heard HB speaking English before apart from speaking from the scripts (for movies and ad). He sounds like he practised hard for the lines too.
HB’s fan…. Please don’t hit me 😬
Remember Play Store Hajimeya *perfect chef kiss
Wow keep up oppa😍
If Kang Sora. First started learning from Disney I am thoroughly impressed
I really hope that you include Park Eun Seok (aka Logan Lee in The Penthouse for those who don't know) in this video🥺
omg! and even shim su ryeon's english is so good, i had to look her up and found out she lived in the US!
this is pretty surprising!!
Lee Seung-Gi, The star in King2hearts, Vagabond, Twogether and Hwayugi is fluent in English.
So you haven’t realised Lee Joon Gi is fluent in English as well
He's soo underrated in every way possibly 🔥🔥
Should add Gang Dong Won as well. He’s a very good english speaker. Did a one to one interview with him few years back. He can nail and answer in english fluently. 🥰
Many are missed out!!...
Anyway waiting for another parts ahead...
Wow! No. 8 Mr. Sunshine, the best! He knows French! 🥰 He's my favorite 💓
No Min-Woo's English is getting better and better!!! Really proud of how he sounds and you can tell he worked hard to learn.
You forget about Oc Taec Yeon
He speak English accent really well in Vincenzo
Because hie lived just west of Boston for 7 years.
Park Bo Gum's accent to speak English is magnificent. Thanks to practice hard-working to have a good voice. This is also compliment that I give my idol which I expected all the time
but he is not fluent ... saw him live before and he need an interpreter to speak
GOT7 JINYOUNG also learned english to communicate with his fans n he is so fluent in it now
And Taecyeon from 2pm too!! He speaks reallyyy good & understandable English, even with an American accent! 😊👍🏼
Because he lived here.
Live Park Bo Gum, he is so talented as an actor & musican
Damn, I never knew speaking English was such a big deal
Same here 💁💁
In Korea it is. Koreans tend to have difficulty with English pronunciation so it is a big deal.
Lol the same in Germany..i know a lot of people who can't speak English. But that's because the schools teach u only the basic things in an English lesson. In other words u have to improve ur English by studying by ur self.
It is. Here in Brazil, for example, not everyone has access to study another language, so knowing English is always good. Especially for job opportunities.
More like studying another language (not necessarily English) is a big deal, because not everyone has the patience or privilege to learn a different language. English is a universal language so it's given more attention compared to other languages.
Song joon ki takes his talent to another level. He has it all and the world loves him!👍🏼❤
He did say this on MAMA stage.....music make one !
You are wrong first one is lee byung hun the actor of Mr.sunshine
Yes, I love his English in Mr.Sunshin
I have to say one of my fav actors who is fluent in English is Lee Seung Gi and you didn't mention him.😢😭
He isnt fleunt tho check out twogether they have a language barrier and he also struggles in english
I've been watching alot of K dramas lately.. got to know some of the actors. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks to you all i call my fan i appreciate all the support and love you have been given to me all this years you all made me whom i am today i want to take this opportunity to thank you for your kind gesture towards me and am most grateful to have you as my fan... 💌
Its nice to know and watch them speaks english im a fan of these actors and actresses from korea mabuhay💝💝💝💝
