Ay-ya-ya
My Korean speaking is better than Chinese now
Back in the day, I couldn't speak Korean well and my Chinese was better
Ahh
But speaking is very correct
But from my perspective, as a person who came from China
I saw a TV show with foreigners who speak Chinese very well...
Ahh, it's a...
...After so many years in Korea, it's my very first time seeing a foreigner speaking such good Chinese
Ah, really?

It's because in China I used to always use chopsticks when eating
