HAHHA yes but he was baiting them so hard tbh!! When they said he rolled his pronunciation & he was like "when did I do that?", he was being fake innocent cos he DID do that for that word! I thought he was trying to sound weird on purpose 😂
Clarice as a American I don’t like his attitude either lowkey wanted to smack him at how disrespectful he was!! But I can say that one is never the whole amount.
He was being sarcastic and trying to be funny. It works well with English because it's an expressive language, but obviously it doesn't translate well to Korean, which is pretty monotone

I literally watch anything nowadays. I'm like the first person to every one of my subscription's new videos lately because I just update the page until something new is uploaded X'D
I am not a native Korean but also agree with you. The Ukranian girl definitely had an accent you would hear. I found the Turkish girl to be great but she sounded like she was swallowing her words or had something stuck in her throat a lot. Another comment says that a certain group of girls in Korea speak like this so perhaps that is why they thought the Turkish girl was best. All amazing though!
the fact that sarah was the only person to learn korean for a year and a half is pretty impressive, she sounds fluent just like the other who've studied for seven years
Everyone else: I’ve been studying for 4-7 years The girl from Iran: I’ve been studying for 1.5 years Lmaooo??? Her korean is amazing what a inspiration 😩
i think she had to be passively learning for the 2.5 years prior. Meanwhile I actively learn and practice for 3 yrs and sound like I just started 1 yr ago lol.
If I was from Iran I'd wanna learn as fast as possible too, I think Korea is a safer/higher standard of living country. Whereas the ones from countries like America are there because they like Korean culture but don't feel as much pressure to learn it perfectly, especially since more people in Korea speak English but probably almost no-one speaks Persian
Personally I don't believe it matters how long it takes someone to learn a language to sound conversationally fluent or native like. I lived in Korea for 5 years, studied on my own and learnt from youtube and talking with people who only spoke Korean, but by the end of my 3rd year there, I could converse with taxi drivers and by the end of the taxi ride they would turn around and be shocked that I was not Korean. It was basically because I had practiced talking on specific subjects for that specific amount of time during a taxi ride. I still could not converse with the IT guy at my school about why my computer was malfunctioning. Fluency is subjective. Just in the same way I could not talk about certain subjects in English such as politics or economics. The Iranian girl sounded like she had great rhythm and more native like speech pattern. The irony is that once I stopped trying to sound like a native and simply listened and imitated then over time I sounded more and more like a native speaker. My goal was never to sound native, but to be understood. I wish I had studied Korean formally and got a better grasp of Korean grammar, so I could make better grammatically correct sentences.
I honestly think he was trying to be funny rather than mean or stern, but it just came off wrong. He probably doesn’t know that he was lookin like that, but I didn’t feel like he was doing it to be mad or anything but that’s just me.
@@leannbeltran9833 that's fine. I understand how some people are not as conscious of how their facial expressions look but he must be cringing when he went back and watched the video.
Anne Smith One of my friends are like this as well. From my experience they’re not trying to be bitchy but it’s just how they are. They have a resting bitch face and it may come off rude to people who don’t know them all that well.
Kinda almost rude to this couple.. Like its cute if you're doing this to family or close friends but it's kinda bratty, is he not familiar with Asian etiquette?
I think he's just playing around but admittedly a bit strange to act that way to people you don't know too well. Also people are not brought up this way he's just a weird dude tbh lol.
Mateusz Szczerba Not all of us. America is so diverse and all of live so differently that it’s hard to place us all in box. I’ve learned to give people the benefit of a doubt and assume I’m misinterpreting their mannerisms🙂🤷🏽♀️
Lindy Beatriz nah actually kim kyungsoo is a super generic & old fashioned name. i think they found it suspicious bc it's a bit too old fashioned - it's kinda like meeting a 20 yo named doris
@@doramafreak13 It's actually kind of ironic. Because barely anyone here actually knows anyone named John Smith but probably knows someone named John or whose last name is Smith. So someone named John Smith would actually be really rare but it's treated as really common.
Alexandria Lewis Yah idk I don’t want to judge too hard. Maybe he was just being expressive, but it was a little much. Lol why was he so offended they thought he was Japanese?
@@expensivegurl1112 I agree with both your comments! There were multiple points in the video where he was smiling and laughing like Thunder said above, and he also made some joky gestures that looked exaggerated to me more then offended, however there were definitely points when he did look offended. Hopefully he just one of those people who accidentally tend to come off a bit upset...as someone who has had people get upset at me for appearing “moody” when I was happy, I can kinda understand the idea of it being a misunderstanding LOL, hopefully that’s the case.
He was playing along. Yeah it came off as rude, but the bitch face was perfect once they called him Japanese. He didnt even fight it and laughed after they kept calling him Japanese.
Thank you all for the support, I've been at home for two weeks and we're trying not to think too much of it 'cause we're getting really stressed. Please, to everyone in every country, stay home, wash your hands, don't go out if it's not necessary and don't underestimate the situation: you, as a young person, could have no damage but think about your old relatives. Love from here~❤
I think at that point they had already pretty much guessed that he was a foreigner so he was able to say that knowing he was probably out of the running anyway
The american guy needs to understand that it's ok to not have a perfect pronounciation. even i could tell that he wasnt perfect and thats ok, since its still admirable for him to know the language so well
I know?! I’ll see people make fun of Non Koreans for not being great at Korean, but will applaud Kpop stars for being ok at English, like as long as you can understand the basis of what they’re saying, I think that’s pretty freaking cool, especially if it’s not your first language
I'm sure if it was the other way around, the American guy would also say that they don't have a perfect pronunciation in English (to be specific, "American" English).
Phuong Ngo I'm American and I thought his gestures when they critiqued him showed he was offended (especially the finger across the neck thing, that's a violent gesture). He was very confident about sounding like a native speaker, and got angry when he wasn't being praised like the other foreigners were.
Cucumbers blessings. He’s a koreaboo for speaking Korean and looking a bit upset when he probably thought his accent was good, but they quickly spotted him?
The thing about him that got on my nerves was his annoyance at being mistaken for a Japanese. What's wrong about being Japanese? Does he think he's better than them?
lmao, we shouldn't be surprised. I know a few people who went to study abroad in South Korea. Let's just say, Korea is getting some of the worst Americans
@@xiaozenni4843 I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to be funny, he was very nervous about being the only one with bad accent, you can see how he moves his leg all the time for example. He was nervous, because he can't take feedback.
I dont speak Korean but if I close my eyes I will be able to distinguish the Iranian girl lol her Iranian intonation 'into the nose' is quite distinct he he
@@sunny-td7qg sorry I didn't mean to offend anyone. It's just how I hear it, especially when women speak. I am sure you could name a 'typical' trait of my native language, and I would think its nonsense :))). And yes, I had hundreds of colleagues, university friends and even a lovely Persian partner back in uni days. So Farsi is a special language to me.
I am from Korea and I can tell that this must have been hard for the people guessing because everyone spoke Hangul very well and clear! Sending love from Korea ❤️
No.. you're not korean... real korean don't use formal words in their channel and doesn't say saranghae to strangers and you don't spell anything in konglish correctly
The American guy throughout the video: side eye look, and cringe, whenever they both said someone laughed or cleared their throat like a foreigner 😅😂 Edit: I seriously thought his reaction to the duo's assumptions and at some parts when they seemed like generalizing foreigners were hilarious. I just noticed he even rolled his eyes slightly at one point. 😅 It's just a matter of perspective, in my opinion he's just over exaggerating his reactions (maybe so he can get more screen time, because Korean TV, reality shows, audience in general love the type of exaggerated humor). Don't take unnecessary offense, it's really not a big deal.
@종이비행기 I thought it was jokes at the start, but his gestures were exaggerated and too much... Edit: I initially just agreed that he was too much and my comment got more likes than expected. I really don't want any hate to come to him because we are all different and this is not a big deal. Just expressions. No reason to hate on him and send him hate. I hope this helps prevent any unnecessary actions and that we can all leave it at a simple too much. The internet fuels spite. Good day guys💜
@@Amii-dw7jd yep...and at the ending he got upset, like, they are trying to guess your nationality...why do you get upset? It's is being japanese something bad to his eyes? If you will get upset for something like this don't participate in this kind of tests. His sassyness at the end weren't asked for
Sierra Smith Seems like he REEEEEEALLY wanted to be picked as the native lol. He was very socially awkward. He’s fluent in Korean. He should take the win for fluency and take the loss for being outed in stride.
Sierra Smith As Japanese, I’m little sad how he got offended when he was called as Japanese... I mean, I know people have opinions but he didn’t have to be that obvious
his eyes remind of when murderer+sex offender is asked by one of his victims, "How's your nose?" in court, after she had broken it escaping being murdered by him. john albert gardner. not saying this american is some murderer, just that it's a scary look.
he was the most obvious pick as foreigner. so basically there was no point in trying afterwards. i dont think he got offended, just sassy/sarcastic like "yessssssss im the foreigner duhhhhhhhh"
Having lived my entire life in the US, I think that rolling eyes is second nature. A cultural body language, not always done to be rude. Though it can be. The same for shrugging your shoulders or throwing a peace sign. They are all learned behaviors. There are times when you shouldn’t act as casual as you do with your friends. I thought it was a part of his “on screen” persona and meant it as a joke or an exaggerated reaction meant to entertain. But it could of been done unconsciously. (Just my own thoughts. Not speaking for everyone whose American)
@@kiddmode yeah like, I definitely thought it was weird. I am fairly sure it was dry humour as well but I guess it's just because he has such a different vibe from everyone there that he stood out a little too much, and I guess it looked rude in contrast? Like everyone else was giggly and more smiley, so in comparison he just seemed standoffish. But yeah I don't think he was that bad. It was a bit jarring to see though.
omg thank you guys. i felt bad he was being bashed bc i didnt see him as being negative. i just saw it as sarcasm or something bc we all knew he was out of the race lol
Yeah I'm only just starting to learn Korean and even I can tell how different his accent is compared to everyone else... Like I don't know why he seemed so surprised...
hearing these foreigners speak so well inspires me to keep studying until i sound as fluent as them 🥺 i still have a long way to go but i’ll keep trying my best as if i just begun!
As an American. I get really shameful seeing the Americans that do these videos because they always have this attitude like they’re better than others. You can tell he very much thought his pronunciation was great and was very taken aback when they didn’t at all think he was Korean.
He had such a nasty attitude for no reason, being native to the language will sound different than learning just like if a Korean. Active learned English. At the end of the day at the least they said the pronunciation was good which is a huge accomplishment when you’re learning a new language
@Ri _ Um? I don’t even watch anime’s? まあまあ日本人じゃなかったらどおやって日本国籍をもっているのかねー。すまんだけど日本にすんでいるし。うるせやつ（＾ν＾） I gave you a little parting gift in my monther tongue, oh and don’t mind translating it because I specially put in native slang words and words that is only used for speaking so translating it would be a mess. And to educate you small brain, I learned in an international school so it’s normal for my English to be fluent and for me to catch up with English trends. Not a lot of us get the opportunity, but I’m lucky enough to be one. If you’d fill doubt then I don’t really care, at least I know, and the people around me know.
Yall are giving the american such a hard time. I think he just has a resting angry face but he hasn't said or done anything disrespectful, he is actually quite lively in other videos and even in this one, you can see him laughing and playing along with the jokes
wowww, they're pronounciation almost sounds like a native's one- and I laughed every time they called david (kim kyungsoo, youtuber from dkdktv) a foreigner lmaooo
I love listening to people speak in different languages, the way everything is pronounced to the tone of their voices is like so beautiful to me and so interesting too.
All of their Korean is nearly perfect. Grammatically perfect, and pronunciation is perfect too. The only one with a noticesble foreigner accent is the American guy but his Korean is grammatically perfect too. the rest of them speak perfect Korean both grammatically and in pronunciation. I am actually amazed by the fact that foreigners can pronounce Korean as perfectly as native Koreans. They must have studied really hard
There is another side to be able to speak a language without accent (which is really the dominant accent, not accent free): the ability of all the muscles etc involved in speaking to adapt. It's why some people can imitate voices and others can't. I can't do anything outside my own voice. The only two languages I speak besides my native Dutch without a heavy accent are English and German, i.e. from the same language group and the direct neighbours. Even speaking Dutch, while not accented (I come from the dominant accent, Hollands), I don't have a varied tone. My 'speaking system' (so to speak) isn't flexible. I could train 12 hours a day, that won't change much. Some people have a greater flexibility and will have less of an accent in a, to them, foreign language. Accents brought back to their basics, are nothing more than how you place your tongue, use air and air flow, open or close your mouth, speak from chest or throat etc.
nope. i'm korean american and the girl who sits on the right to the american guy (5th female) is also pretty noticeable enough to tell they're definitely not korean at all especially when she did the introduction
@@ErwinBlonk Erwin can I just say (and I know the Dutch are good at english) that the way you write in english is extremely pleasant to read. I thoroughly enjoy your writing style.
@@ErwinBlonk I hate to break it to you, Erwin, but you DO have an accent in Dutch: everybody does, in every language. It is not physically possible to speak any language without some sort of accent.
Seriously, as an american it's kind of embarrasing that he acted that way. It was rude and disrespectful, and tbh he hasn't been studying for as long as the rest, so obviously he is gonna be picked as a foreigner.
@@extrapepper8876 for real tho! A lot of other countries already think Americans are just rude and obnoxious people, we dont need him doing such childish things.
@@emmaloeb He has been studying for as long as the rest though? He said he's been studying it for 7 years... Many of the others have also been studying for 7 years.
I’m the same age as these guests, and I really wanted to learn Korean around the time they started learning Korean. I gave up on taking classes in college and just focused on finishing my degree. I regret it a lot, bc I imagine I would’ve spoken like them if I didn’t give up. But that’s okay. If I give it 7 years I can hopefully speak like how they’re speaking now right? I’d be in my thirties but that’s okay!! Enough of me having self-pity for missed opportunities when I was younger. Let’s focus on now and the future :)
you really have to keep trying and try to immerse yourself... ive been learning for 10 years and really not much came out of it because i didnt try too hard, but now im living here in 4 months im improved massively
His overall accent and pronunciation is much better than 99% of all Americans that I’ve heard speaking Korean. Most Americans don’t bother to get to his level, it seems loool. He really does sound a lot like a native except some obvious tonal things like he’s mentioned and word emphasis. But yeah- I was taken aback by how clearly and skillfully he enunciated his intro.
as a Korean, his accent is VERY good for a foreigner. There are far heavier accents and his is not one of them imo you can hear the American accent but it's not as bad as you state it is
why was the American guy so upset every time they said he wasn't Korean??? he isn't. thats what he came to do. I'm so confused, why was he so angry that they were correct? Like do you hate being a white American so much that you get offended when people think you aren't Korean.... cuz it's not like it isn't obvious. I'm not talking about his hand gestures either, just his whole attitude, I get somethings were probably for comedy but it's clear as day that he was getting really annoyed and not for comedy.
he clearly hates being white. but even when he spoke korea it sounds 100% fake. honestly i want to hear how he sounds speaking english because he is NOT manly when speaking korean. he was acting like a girl which is not cute in korea.
@@Sound_Spark his tone seemed to me like he was tryna be funny but i don't speak korean so i wouldnt know. Although some of his reactions seemed like he was making fun of the couple
@@SnowClover jesus. Just shake it off. If he just had a little bit of confidence these words wouldnt touch him. Really no reason to feel offended at all.
Eric Bomfim I honestly don’t see why not! They can promote Parasite and BTS, but not allow him to do his lil ole restaurant?! He was just talking about menu items!
The guy is so funny lol he spoke about coronavirus and then stopped and then trying to promote his restaurant and then got cut and then asking about Parasite only to get "It was good" as an answer 😂😂😂🤣 I was like,, lmao
It’s how Americans act. He could be more mindful of being in Korean atmosphere, but as an American it isn’t intended to be rude, instead to be lightening the mood.
Filip Petrović he has his legs and arms crossed and around 4:16 and 4:26 u can see him making annoyed faces which he does throughout the whole time. His legs and arms crossed can be seen as arrogant to some. I’m not sure ab his personality but It’s clear that he was annoyed that ppl thought he was a foreigner. And the ppl in the comments find this stupid and call him a Karen for that since he’s acting like they are wrong for not praising him. I agree, I mean he’s a foreigner with an accent ofc they will know
I know because i am also korean language learner and i am anxious when someone asks me to speak. I would be pissed off if i met non native speaker that speaks better than me.
acquaintanced with a blender Wrong. I would be worse. I’d be screaming at the camera guy that there are no actual Koreans while sweating my balls off shook at every other word they say...
Ceren totally told kyungsoo the hanja for his name!!! Lol and to see the faces of them all while theory spout theories was very entertaining. Except the american. I was scared of him.
I haven’t watched the whole video but the guy in the middle needs to calm down 😬😂 It’s very hard for any foreigner in any language to sound completely native especially if they didn’t learn it as a child. He should be very proud of himself!
@@something6510 He is inmature. How could he get so mad at them? They didn't said nothing disrespectful to anybody, they are trying literally to guess if he is korean or not...I would kick his ass when he did the gestures on 7:05 as @grey king appointed
Question for native Korean speakers: I saw in another video that Kim Kyung-Soo speaks perfect English, which makes me think he lived in the U.S. for a while. Often, if someone lives in another country for a long time, their native tongue can become slightly accented. Does he sound a little bit like a foreign born Korean?
Juliet Tyler haha yeah he seemed annoyed by everything they said and at the end he even said “Japanese is not” and then they cut it because he probably was acting like a baby. Like what is wrong with being Japanese. I’m sorry not sorry but he really is disrespectful to me...

Since everyone is talking about the American dude can y’all just sit for a moment and appreciate the Turkish girl and how fluent she is
Well i guess this is another evidence for Altaic language theory lol
Because turkic languages are not in indo-european language family, (ural/altaic) korean is easier to learn for us
Aether it’s true.. Turkish people speak korean so well
Aether i agree, i get told i have a good pronounciation and i learned it pretty fast as well, the turkish girl did so well
I think it's because their language is kind of similar in pronounciation to Korean. It's not as difficult for them to learn it as it is for others.

As a Korean native, I think the Ukranian girl has the best and most natural accent. The Turkish girl is good too, but the Ukranian girl is spot on.
*She's estonian.
@@nickn2794 I'm talking about the Ukrainian girl, not the Estonian.
I am not a native Korean but also agree with you. The Ukranian girl definitely had an accent you would hear. I found the Turkish girl to be great but she sounded like she was swallowing her words or had something stuck in her throat a lot. Another comment says that a certain group of girls in Korea speak like this so perhaps that is why they thought the Turkish girl was best. All amazing though!

It was basically because I had practiced talking on specific subjects for that specific amount of time during a taxi ride.

The irony is that once I stopped trying to sound like a native and simply listened and imitated then over time I sounded more and more like a native speaker.

@Greta Wilson you would just say "my friend"

I think at that point they had already pretty much guessed that he was a foreigner so he was able to say that knowing he was probably out of the running anyway
The american guy needs to understand that it's ok to not have a perfect pronounciation. even i could tell that he wasnt perfect and thats ok, since its still admirable for him to know the language so well
INDEED
Um I dont think he was pissed or offended or anything? That's just how americans act lol. Supposed to be sarcastic humor.
I know?! I’ll see people make fun of Non Koreans for not being great at Korean, but will applaud Kpop stars for being ok at English, like as long as you can understand the basis of what they’re saying, I think that’s pretty freaking cool, especially if it’s not your first language
I'm sure if it was the other way around, the American guy would also say that they don't have a perfect pronunciation in English (to be specific, "American" English).

I'm American and I thought his gestures when they critiqued him showed he was offended (especially the finger across the neck thing, that's a violent gesture). He was very confident about sounding like a native speaker, and got angry when he wasn't being praised like the other foreigners were.

The American got offended by everything. Even comments not about him.
He wasnt as bad as everyone is making him out to be
@@kiddmode yeah like, I definitely thought it was weird.

As an American. I get really shameful seeing the Americans that do these videos because they always have this attitude like they’re better than others. You can tell he very much thought his pronunciation was great and was very taken aback when they didn’t at all think he was Korean.
Yess he seemed kinda full of himself haha
What about the throat slash gesture he made? I found it pretty disrespectful.
Sonix_ it was very passive aggressive tbh. Everything he did was unnecessary.
He had such a nasty attitude for no reason, being native to the language will sound different than learning just like if a Korean. Active learned English. At the end of the day at the least they said the pronunciation was good which is a huge accomplishment when you’re learning a new language

I love listening to people speak in different languages, the way everything is pronounced to the tone of their voices is like so beautiful to me and so interesting too.
All of their Korean is nearly perfect. Grammatically perfect, and pronunciation is perfect too. The only one with a noticesble foreigner accent is the American guy but his Korean is grammatically perfect too. the rest of them speak perfect Korean both grammatically and in pronunciation. I am actually amazed by the fact that foreigners can pronounce Korean as perfectly as native Koreans. They must have studied really hard
There is another side to be able to speak a language without accent (which is really the dominant accent, not accent free): the ability of all the muscles etc involved in speaking to adapt. It's why some people can imitate voices and others can't. I can't do anything outside my own voice. The only two languages I speak besides my native Dutch without a heavy accent are English and German, i.e. from the same language group and the direct neighbours. Even speaking Dutch, while not accented (I come from the dominant accent, Hollands), I don't have a varied tone. My 'speaking system' (so to speak) isn't flexible. I could train 12 hours a day, that won't change much.
Some people have a greater flexibility and will have less of an accent in a, to them, foreign language. Accents brought back to their basics, are nothing more than how you place your tongue, use air and air flow, open or close your mouth, speak from chest or throat etc.
nope. i'm korean american and the girl who sits on the right to the american guy (5th female) is also pretty noticeable enough to tell they're definitely not korean at all especially when she did the introduction

The american dude has the heaviest accent when he speaks korean lol so obvious
Well he said it himself so you shouldn’t be surprised
His overall accent and pronunciation is much better than 99% of all Americans that I’ve heard speaking Korean. Most Americans don’t bother to get to his level, it seems loool. He really does sound a lot like a native except some obvious tonal things like he’s mentioned and word emphasis.
But yeah- I was taken aback by how clearly and skillfully he enunciated his intro.
More so than that though I think his low voice also gave him away bc I’ve never really heard people speak that low in Korea

That American dude was pretty annoying, he kept rolling his eyes and showing attitude.
Lachimolala • lol
fr like hes mad that he sounds foreign lmfaooo like dude
Thats what i thought aswell, i was like boiii can u stop it’s annoying
He was a weirdo
I stopped watching this because of him, he was getting on my nerve
I am so impressed with the language skills of these non-Korean students. Excellent job.
The guy is so funny lol he spoke about coronavirus and then stopped and then trying to promote his restaurant and then got cut and then asking about Parasite only to get "It was good" as an answer 😂😂😂🤣 I was like,, lmao
why is the american guy getting pissed for being called a foreigner? his skills in speaking obviously shows it and his attitude certainly doesn't help
Because he was picked out so fast he was disappointed in himself after studying so long..
That was just his American humor
@@ellie5017 That was not humor
It’s how Americans act. He could be more mindful of being in Korean atmosphere, but as an American it isn’t intended to be rude, instead to be lightening the mood.
@@sienarodriguez8703 i don't think its cause he's american, i think thats just his personality
I love how everyone’s bashing the American guy in the comments
I didnt even notice him expressing himself in the vid. He barely spoke.
Filip Petrović he has his legs and arms crossed and around 4:16 and 4:26 u can see him making annoyed faces which he does throughout the whole time. His legs and arms crossed can be seen as arrogant to some. I’m not sure ab his personality but It’s clear that he was annoyed that ppl thought he was a foreigner. And the ppl in the comments find this stupid and call him a Karen for that since he’s acting like they are wrong for not praising him. I agree, I mean he’s a foreigner with an accent ofc they will know
@@filippetrovic845 you can tell by his body language
@@Yami-ss4xi I know, and i think he has some mental issues but he handled it atleast.
I know because i am also korean language learner and i am anxious when someone asks me to speak. I would be pissed off if i met non native speaker that speaks better than me.
무지한 노력을 한 사람들 이네요. 전에는 외국인들이 한국말 하면 어눌했었는데 어학당에서 잘 가르치고 있는것 같습니다. 모두 한국에서 행복하시길.
I love how they just couldn’t take anything for face value and kept thinking of like a 100 conspiracies which eventually derailed them loool
@acquaintanced with a blender 😂 chill, no one said it was bad, their paranoia/overthinking was totally relatable & hilarious
acquaintanced with a blender
Wrong.
I would be worse. I’d be screaming at the camera guy that there are no actual Koreans while sweating my balls off shook at every other word they say...
Ceren totally told kyungsoo the hanja for his name!!! Lol and to see the faces of them all while theory spout theories was very entertaining. Except the american. I was scared of him.
the american guy was annoying not gonna lie. He was rolling his eyes at literally everything
lady mcvibe the sass that nobody asked for lmao
What I been thinking the whole time
I thought it was just me
lady mcvibe the entitlement

The American guy is weird lmao like why was he acting like that
Because content. He was told to act up for views, comments algorithm, drama...
I think he’s just joking it feels kind of normal in America for people to be overly dramatic and pretend they’re offended and mad to be funny
He looks like your basic weeboo
Because he's American
The sense of entitlement, like everything should be automatically handed over to him, even if he doesn't deserve it
I clicked because I saw david 😂. Poor him he was really roasted 😂.
I haven’t watched the whole video but the guy in the middle needs to calm down 😬😂 It’s very hard for any foreigner in any language to sound completely native especially if they didn’t learn it as a child. He should be very proud of himself!
Lowkey scary with that look at 7:05 and the hand gesture 😳 it ain't that serious
At 4:31 he was having a *fit* in the background why was he so mad?
grey king Yes, I honestly found his gestures very odd and threatening
종이비행기 ok but like he never once mentioned his sexuality why do you have to bring that into this and why do you assume it?
@@something6510 He is inmature. How could he get so mad at them? They didn't said nothing disrespectful to anybody, they are trying literally to guess if he is korean or not...I would kick his ass when he did the gestures on 7:05 as @grey king appointed
Question for native Korean speakers: I saw in another video that Kim Kyung-Soo speaks perfect English, which makes me think he lived in the U.S. for a while. Often, if someone lives in another country for a long time, their native tongue can become slightly accented. Does he sound a little bit like a foreign born Korean?
네. 어색한 억양 또는 발음간의 미묘한 차이가 존재합니다
sorry i can't speak eng TT
Don’t worry I used google translate! That’s so interesting! I guess it makes sense that they thought he was a foreigner
Yes, he sounds like a typical Korean American I think
His name Danny kim .He runs a youtube channel by the name DKDK tv..He is foreign born .

Lol the western guy seems offended at everything they say haha
I saw that too. He keeps rolling his eyes as if you say “that’s a dumb question”🙄.
he was so annoying
@@gay4vivi294 ok.....
He didn't like being the worst and he handled it like a baby. It's the white male American way.
Juliet Tyler haha yeah he seemed annoyed by everything they said and at the end he even said “Japanese is not” and then they cut it because he probably was acting like a baby. Like what is wrong with being Japanese. I’m sorry not sorry but he really is disrespectful to me...
