In the era of globalization in the Korean entertainment industry, being fluent in multiple
languages has become a valuable asset for idols.
These idols not only have amazing singing and dancing skills, but also have a high proficiency
in foreign languages.
They are considered polyglot Kpop idols who are fluent in 3 or more languages.
Jennie (BLACKPINK)
If you are a Blink, you may know that Jennie is an idol with impressive language skills.
Having lived in New Zealand for 5 years before moving to Korea in 2010, Jennie speaks English
fluently as if it were her mother tongue.
In addition, her Japanese speaking ability was already famous among Kpop fans even before
her debut.
Despite being fluent in 3 languages - Korean, English, and Japanese, Jennie still keeps
adding more languages to her dictionary.
According to Jennie's revelation on the Knowing Bros show in late 2020, she started learning
French.
Until now, Jennie has been learning French for 2 years, so she must be quite proficient
in this most romantic language in the world.
Lisa (BLACKPINK)
Lisa is not inferior to her fellow group member when it comes to language skills.
She is fluent in 4 languages: Thai, Korean, English, and Japanese.
Being a foreign idol, Lisa moved to Korea to pursue her dream when she was only 14 years
old, and started learning Korean since then.
After years of living in Korea, she has become fluent in speaking and writing Korean like
a native.
Lisa's English-speaking ability also makes fans proud.
When she was in Thailand, Lisa attended an international school where all subjects were
taught in English.
Therefore, she was exposed to English at a young age.
However, at that time Lisa was not completely fluent in the language.
During her artistic activities, due to the nature of her work, she continued to learn
this language to be able to communicate fluently with foreigners.
Lisa's English is considered to have a standard pronunciation and natural communication like
a native speaker.
Lisa also had to learn Japanese to promote Blackpink's songs in Japan.
Therefore, she is quite proficient in this language.
In addition, Lisa can also speak a little Chinese because she had previously worked
on the show Youth With You 2 in China.
Minnie ((G)I-DLE)
Not only possessing a chic aura and good singing skills, Minnie also amazes fans with her incredible
language skills.
According to Minnie and (G)I-DLE members on the Knowing bros show, Minnie can speak up
to 5 languages including Thai, Korean, English, Chinese, and Japanese.
Therefore, she is almost the spokesperson for (G)I-DLE when interacting with international
fans.
Coming from a wealthy family, Minnie had the opportunity to learn English at a young age
in her hometown in Thailand.
During her artistic activities in Korea, she improved her Korean, Chinese, and Japanese
skills.
Among them, Minnie is more proficient in English, Thai, and Korean.
Giselle (Aespa)
Since her debut, Giselle has not only impressed fans with her excellent rap skills but also
amazed them with her fluency in 5 languages: Japanese, Korean, English, French, and Spanish.
Being a Japanese person who debuted in Korea, her Korean skills are so good that fans initially
mistook her for a Korean.
Giselle has also answered interviews and spoken in English fluently with perfect pronunciation
like a native speaker, showing her exceptional English skills.
Recently, Giselle made her My (aespa fandom) proud with her speech in English with the
group at the United Nations forum.
According to the Knowing Bros show, Aespa's rapper can also speak French
and Spanish.
Wendy (Red Velvet)
Wendy has long been known as an idol with outstanding academic achievements.
The main vocalist of Red Velvet can speak up to 4 languages: Korean, English, French,
and Spanish.
The members of the SM family also have to admit Wendy's exceptional language skills.
When she was 12 years old, she moved to Ontario, Canada - a place that helped her develop her
English and French skills.
Wendy is the representative member who communicates in English for the group.
French is considered a difficult language, but Wendy conquered it since highschool.
Moreover, fans are even more excited when she can also speak Spanish.
Wendy can communicate freely with guests when participating in gameshows or communicating
with fans as an MC at concerts in Spanish.
Not stopping at 4 languages, Wendy also started learning Japanese and Chinese for more than
2 years.
With her genius mind, she must have been able to use these two languages well by now.
Therefore, she is almost a perfect idol in the eyes of young people and a motivation
for fans to strive to learn foreign languages.
Ten (NCT)
If Lisa can speak 4 languages, then fellow countryman Ten is even more outstanding when
he can use up to 5 languages including: Thai, Korean, Chinese, Japanese and English.
Ten was born in Thailand and of course he can use Thai perfectly.
But Ten also speaks English very well because he studied at Shrewsbury International School
(Thailand).
As a Thai of Chinese descent, operating in both Korea and China, Ten has constantly studied
both Korean and Chinese.
In addition, he also learned Japanese to be able to communicate with fans more easily.
Ten often asks Japanese members in NCT such as Yuta or Shotaro to teach him more about
Japanese.
He is truly a perfect idol.
Bambam (GOT7)
The group of fellow countrymen and best friends of Lisa seem to all be super language geniuses.
Not only Lisa, Minnie, Ten but Bambam also makes fans proud of his language abilities.
Besides shining in the already fierce music market, Bambam is also known as the "language
god" of Kpop with the ability to speak fluently 5 international languages: Thai, Korean, English,
Japanese and Chinese.
Born and raised in Thailand, so of course he can use Thai perfectly.
After a period of artistic activity in the land of kimchi, he also showed that his ability
to communicate in Korean is no different from native speakers, making fans proud.
English is the language Bambam speaks fluently equivalent to Korean, after his mother tongue.
Then, he learned Chinese and Japanese and can communicate fluently.
Cha Eun Woo (Astro)
Not only possessing a beautiful face and warm voice, Cha Eun Woo also masters 4 foreign
languages: Korean, English, Chinese and Japanese.
Thanks to that, he is not only famous for the nickname "Face genius", but is also known
as the language god of Kpop.
With excellent academic achievements when always being at the top3 of the school's excellent
students, it is not difficult to understand why Cha Eun Woo can balance up to 4 languages.
He has repeatedly surprised members and fans with his listening and speaking skills in
English in gameshows, interviews or fan interactions.
According to Cha Eun Woo, he only learned English at school and self-study, not studying
anywhere else.
Then, he learned Japanese and Chinese and used these two languages fluently.
