Luhan speaks so smoothly like he's still living in Korea. But Tao is the complete opposite lol. He hasn't forgotten the words but his tones are way off 😅 and Kris is in between lol
I think its got to do with their baseline level of proficiency as well. You have a lot more of a “buffer” to regress if you start off at a higher point. Luhan was originally really fluent, like native level korean to the point many people thought he was one of the korean members in exo m at debut. Kris also was a trainee for 5 years before debut, and so learned the language for a long time and spoke it a lot as well. Meanwhile Tao struggled with Korean pronounciation a great deal even while in exo and also picked it up pretty late; he only got more proficient a year-ish into their debut somewhere about growl era and then he left soon after, so its not at all surprising to me. The fact that he remembers the vocabulary at all is already pretty great.
Luhan spoke Korean like a native to the point that he would understand Korean idiomatic expressions most foreigners wouldn't get. He had regressed since he's no longer based in Korea.
Well Luhan did study it in university so that’s why he’s good but he’s probably gotten rusty as he has t been using it a lot- though he still seems really fluent
Luhan still sounds like a Native Korean, Kris is in the middle and Tao can probably survive in the country if needed even though his pronunciation isn't that good anymore but still better than mine 😅
"tao can probably survive in the country if needed" omg that made me laugh for some reason but I get what you mean :) I don't speak well but I can definitely tell that his pronunciation isn't that great anymore
i think kris speaks great korean and his korean got “better” (maybe improved) after leaving exo. i just think so since his pronunciation sounds so natural
lmao tao's korean was always a bit strange- i think he's just someone who doesn't click with the language very well (when he uses korea it's so cute tho LOL)
@@morangoatomic997 i know right Luhan’s korean was the best among the china line grammatically plus had clear pronunciation if we rank their language skil then it would like Luhan>Kris>Lay>Tao
Luhan even speaks Korean to his cat 🤭 imagine when he is at home he actually speaks korean and chinese to his cat all day that's really cute, he still speak korean Edit: what did I do in my life to get so many likes on a comment 😂 anyway I hope you all stay safe & healthy during this time. Take care! ^^
I swear SM will not slip the news easily if that happened. You know SM will do anything to make that they had no interaction. But in secret, I really hope that Kris Tao and Luhan will attend it. In my mind, I think they knew that Jongdae is getting married and will become a father
Luhan was basically fluent when he was still in Exo, due to the fact that he had been learning it for at least 6 years already. The chances of forgetting a language will become smaller the more fluent you get
Kris being polite by saying "pls let our Korean friends ask first" Im. Their fluency tells they still practice the language maybe theyre watching Korean shows and still in contact with Korean friends (I even think they have gc or dmed occasionally with the members)
Omooo... It seems you did not read the real report well. Kris was the Chinese member who had been trained for more than 4 years until debut (January 2008-April 2012) while Tao trained for 1 year and half and Luhan only trained 1 year since he was scoutted by SM agency due to his unique look in 2011.
Dechris Ellena Luhan was scouted in 2010 but he had been studying in Korea at the time. This is why Luhan was the Chinese member who was the most fluent in Korean since he actually wen to school in Korea for several years before becoming a trainee
Purple panda Sometimes I like to imagine EXO in an alternate universe, where Kris is the main English speaking one and eventually taking up Suho and Kyungsoo as English speaking apprentices. I think they could have lasted much longer in the scene. I’m not saying that they’re irrelevant right now, but since military service they’ve gone on hiatus as a group and only unit activities are possible. The chances of EXO-M (China line, performing together in China while the rest were away) and probably more promotions. I dunno, I’m such a huge OT12 stan that it still sometimes gets me when I look back and think about the possibilities IF THEY NEVER LEFT. But I’m happy for them since they can freely do whatever they want now. But I wish their friendship remained. Like how Hangeng is with SuJu members now. I WANT THAT FOR MY BOYS, TOO.
The way Luhan speaks honestly always reminds me to the way Kun speaks. They are that type who will smoothly >_< it makes me want to listen over and over
Luhan is just a native (even if he doesn't know a few words, his pronunciation is almost perfect) Kris has improved a lot and can understand way more now than when he was in EXO 😶 Tao, well, his pronunciation has always been like that (even for Chinese or any other language, his pronunciation has that ……… vibe) but he is still as good as before in his vocabulary
**I MISS YOU TOO** Kris knows everything guys, my heart melts knowing how he spoke to that Korean girl, he is so sweet, he surely knows how much we miss him, and he love us (exo-ls) too!!❤
Awe I'm so sad honestly like they've moved on with their life and made so many accomplishments with or without exo. ❤ I hope kris, luhan, and two are doing fine and is chasing after their dream. 💛
When the 3 of them left I was still on junior high. So young and sensitive, I was so sad back there. Time flies real fast and I'm an adult now. Watching these takes me back to that time, same emotion I had when I am younger, but mature enough to understand why they had to leave. Im so happy for them, and am forever an Exo-L
It's great that they still communicate in what language that is needed. I love it when they speak any language, but have grown more to hearing them speaking Mandarin/Cantonese (their mother tongue), due to their music/shows. It does feel like it's been a long time since I've heard them speak Hangul, and even I'm still shocked when I hear them. They're awesome and I'm sure their Kfans are waiting for them... 2022 is almost here, no worries.
0:29 everyone got her native tongue wrong. Lol. First they thought she was Japanese. Then used English. Kris finally figured out she was Korean. It's great to be muilti-lingual. I remember was in Walmart once and some Korean women had a problem with their purchase but couldn't communicate with the cashier. I felt bad for them cuz I knew they were speaking Korean but I'm not fluent enough to understand and wished I could have helped them with their problem :(
Me learning korean about a year and forget everything when I stop studying mean while former members know everything even though they live in china🇨🇳🌚👌
I miss them. Tao and Luhan probably still keep in touch with the members. Can't wait to see them having a reunion after exo left that sh*tty company 😚😚
For me, my opinion, they were all good. Kris and Luhan they sound like a native Korean. For Lay he absolutely good because he's not an ex-member, he still a member of EXO. The new comeback in this year 2021 he was there. For Tao, yes he do speak Korean but his pronounce more in Chinese
It’s so ironic but Kris’ pronunciation improved so much after he left EXO....what kind of sorcery?
lmaoo
I think I read somewhere that Kris has a few Korean friends so he still uses the language very frequently
@@SarahZi1998 his gf rumored to be korean tho 😂😂 i think that's the biggest reason

tao's korean accent is really cute tho 😭😭 i remember gushing a lot when he was in exo bc his korean is just really cute

FOREVER OT12 😌❤️
I loved how Kris recognized the language barrier almost immediately
He speaks english, chinese, korean wtf 😎
and cantonese
in 0:35 the woman said "eottoke" so that's how he figured out that the woman is korean

Idk why but this remind me of the iconic "your dog speak chinese?!!"
Lmaoooo a bilingual cat 🤣🤣 honestly tho, it’s a good way to retain a language that u probably don’t need to use that often
At least hope they attend Chen's wedding. If no photo also it's okay just the news of them attending.
So desperately hoping for them to meet again...
I wanna see sehun and luhan reaction if by chance they meet again
You made me tearing up bruh😭
I want Suho and Tao moment
I swear SM will not slip the news easily if that happened. You know SM will do anything to make that they had no interaction. But in secret, I really hope that Kris Tao and Luhan will attend it. In my mind, I think they knew that Jongdae is getting married and will become a father
I want to see xiumin and luhan together again luhan used to really adore xiumin 🥺
please OT12 reunites at Chen's wedding 🙏😭💞
edited:-Omo thanks 3.6k support❤️
Yeah I wish!!☹️
Yeah I am wishing for that as well.🤗😇
As long as exo are under SM I dunno if they can but IM WISHING!! 😭
please please please please let this happen, the day would be made even more special for exols 😭💞
Chen is already married.. ❣️
Remember when we called ourself Exotic and there were 12 EXO member standing on the stage😌
😭....damn it...why we can't bring times back...
I hate when people forget about OT12 and EXO M😔
I still call out "Exotic" being Exos fanclub sometimes
VeronNica 707 omg I forgot about Exotic 😭 it’s been so long
oh my you’re right! when we didn’t have a fandom name yet. i forgot about that
Plot twist, that luhan cat is actually Xiumin.
I keep thinking the same thing 😆 it basically looks like Xiumin!!!
Not only that, Xiumin is the only current member that owns a cat so they are basically twinning since I heard that Kris and Tao also have only dogs

Hearing Kris talk in korean is so REFRESHING
When they become the translator themselves.. And kris that so sweetof you..
Theory: OT12 has Group Chat and they talk every time that's why Kris, Tao, Luhan still speaks Korean very well
how i wish. huhuhu
My internal wish, i miss them
I wish
I mean Kris and Luhan speak Korean for work often
That’s a nice wish
I almost forgot they have their own accent when they spoke korean.. it's a good feeling be able to hear it again.. I miss them..
kris being thankful that theres still a korean fan coming to see him my heart 😭🤧
Luhan's Korean is still so fluent 😭 i missed #OT12 so much
Luhan was basically fluent when he was still in Exo, due to the fact that he had been learning it for at least 6 years already. The chances of forgetting a language will become smaller the more fluent you get
Joyce Jung maybe cuz he still practices with Korean natives. The same thing with kris I'm really impressed with his how fluent his Korean is.
not just you we all miss exo12 😭
Kris being polite by saying "pls let our Korean friends ask first" Im.
Their fluency tells they still practice the language maybe theyre watching Korean shows and still in contact with Korean friends (I even think they have gc or dmed occasionally with the members)

Imagine if EXO was still 12, probably the world will be upside down because of they can't contain OT12 visual and charm 😍😍😍
You forgot talent!!😭💞 EXO today has so much talent..... enough for several boy groups...but OT12 would be legends today 😔
I srsly believe exo would blow up in the west if they remained as ot12🥺

Same,sameee

Yesss is normal😭😭😭
The way Luhan speaks honestly always reminds me to the way Kun speaks. They are that type who will smoothly >_< it makes me want to listen over and over
Ikr
They sound like natives
Tao and Lucas on the other hand 😶
I wonder how they still speak Korean so well after like 6 years
Some of their staff are Korean? I guess...
A lot of filming Staff are actually Korean so they still use it frequently.
They still have contract with SM .
Luhan is technically still with SM
They lived in Korea for a long time also lived and be friends with Korean people ❤️
Kris improved a lot
This gives me mixed emotions I love them three no matter what
2020;
Luhan: korean
Kris: even better
Tao: whutt(?)
I think that he is improving:)
Hailey Au - who is
Why does it give me so much satisfaction to be the 500th like
600th like HAHASHSHS
Luhan is just a native (even if he doesn't know a few words, his pronunciation is almost perfect)
Kris has improved a lot and can understand way more now than when he was in EXO 😶
Tao, well, his pronunciation has always been like that (even for Chinese or any other language, his pronunciation has that ……… vibe) but he is still as good as before in his vocabulary
Tao still sounds like a baby when he speaks korean. I remember him being a baby in Exo Showtime. I fell in love with the panda.
Kris’ Korean sounds so good. I already know Luhan speaks so fluently
im still hoping for them to unite if not an exo group but as friends
Sameee

I supported them when they were 12 and eventhough they went their separate way, I will always be an OT12.
Tao speak korean with chinese accent is the cutest
Little by little they can talk about before, just like Baekhyun, Tao also.
When did Baekhyun???
I mean, ot9 did mention about ot12 sometimes, but never mentioned the members separately

Not really because they film this show at Japan so they thought that the lady is japanese
When I heard Tao speak korean again I thought for a second that he was speaking chinese xD
