This video was originally much longer (18 minutes!), but I had to remove some more recent videos of BamBam due to copyright. Some media companies just *REALLY* did not want me using their clips, even though I made sure to follow all Fair Use laws. I'll be addressing this along with some new plans for the series in an announcement video coming next week, so stay tuned~!
The fact that BamBam learns most of the languages by hearing and talking and not in books is totally true, you can see it easily with his english being mostly slang and really colloquial ways of talking, especially when compared to jackson where it's obvious he learned it in school. Also, I like hearing BamBam talk in korean a lot, especially in lives I find it so pleasing :) Thank you so much for this serie! I loved it
That's a good observation that you brought up! It's true, one sounds so grammatical and emphasizes each grammatical point while the other is mostly slang and 'chill' hahaha. It's interesting how two people can learn the same language yet speak it so differently!
@@VoVina111 yes, it's interesting indeed! Also i'm laughing thinking at how many times bambam says chill and how it's really the best way to describe his english ahahaha
That’s very true i love that he learns like talking languages it’s the same for English like he learnt stuff that make him able to dialog naturally with someone even tho there’s a few mistakes you always know what he wants to say and he always know the slang and jokes etc that a language can hold which is very important to interact with people all 3 of Amerithaikong learnt differently but it’s crazy in the first place that they’re also fluent in that many languages
it's a cultural thing to name your children with both real name in ID card and the nickname even though today's children's nickname is as long as the real one 😂
What is amazing to me about Bambam is that he didn’t even know any English when he moved to Korea. He only knew Thai. So, although JYPE did give Bambam Korean lessons, I totally agree that he most probably primarily learned Korean through speaking and listening, because there are probably very few, if any, resources or textbooks for learning Korean written in Thai that were easily accessible when he was a trainee, and obviously he probably didn’t know or have regular contact with Thai speakers there at the time. Having said that, it’s also what makes him SO good at Korean. Correct me if I’m wrong but despite his slight accent I think Bambam feels the most native and natural when he speaks Korean among GOT7’s foreign line and it’s likely to be because he didn’t have English to fall back on when learning Korean. He had to learn on the spot if he wanted to be able to communicate with others and he did so successfully. Bambam has assimilated into Korean society so well that even the Korean members say his day-to-day mannerisms and mentality is very Korean and it’s something I have noticed too. 😂 (I’m suddenly reminded of that misunderstanding he and Mark had when they were trainees which resulted in Mark throwing a laptop at Bambam because neither of them could speak Korean yet and Bambam didn’t really know English. 😂) It would have been interesting if you had also reviewed some more recent clips of Bambam as well, to see if he has shown improvements in his accent or pronunciation, but otherwise another awesome video! Thank you 💚
bambam was pretty young when he went to korea, plus im sure he was somehow familiarized with korean culture since his mom was a hardcore kpop fan so he probably grew up listening to kpop and watching kdramas... he’s a smart kid so im really proud of him :)
i just need to take a second to address that folding wall with the shelving in it....i absolutely love that idea, plus it makes for the perfect backdrop!
I love that wall shelf thing too! But then I remembered I live in an earthquakey country and if I had one of those, it would be falling down once a week!
i really want you to react to lucas nct bc omg that would be fun LOL he speaks very cute korean and i bet so many of us want to know how you would react to him
Bambam actually amazes me. speaks three languages practically fluently and can adapt to different cultures so well. That's just his personality ig? very fluid
His korean actknowledge by some people. Got7 members said that bambam good at speaking in korean, meanwhile mark good at understanding what are people saying. When he played korean word game (i dont know what the game named), knowing brother (아는 형님) casts actknowledged his korean. He knows some difficult words and that made the casts amazed.
woah thank you so much for these GOT7's foreign members grades, they were so cool!! bambam indeed learned pretty fast and it's amazing to watch him nowadays speak in awards or even on his lives and translating himself from english > korean > thai so most of the fans watching can understand what is he saying. he's super considerate about it !
BamBam is awesome. ^^ He’s one of the funniest and most random members, but also one of the best. His accent is also so cute and different from everyone else’s.
Oh! There are so many!! Eric Nam, Henry Lau, Henry Prince Mak, BM from K.A.R.D., Peniel from BTOB, Jamie (aka Park Jimin), Alexa, Ashley Choi, The Boyz (Kevin, Eric & Jacob), Jae from Day6, Nikhun from 2PM. It would also be cool if you did the reverse, reacting to Koreans who have become fluent in English! My first suggestions would be Young K from Day6, and Seungmin, Hyunjin & Han from Stray Kids.
I really enjoyed watching this weekly series Billy and learning on pronunciation tips and speaking Korean. I recommend doing an analysis of NCT members, f(x) members
I love, love, love BamBam. So much. He is such a beautiful and special human being. 😂🙏💕 It's not possible to see a clip of BamBam and not immediately feel happy.
i loooove this series of videos! I'd be so curious to have this kind of analysis on the foreign members of Seventeen or Nct! (for instance they have Chinese and American members)
Thanks for making this series! It's really interesting to see the Korean skills of idols who didn't grow up speaking Korean as their native/main language be evaluated. It's a great way to pick up tips on how to sound more natural or correct errors in my own Korean, especially because the idols are usually at least at the intermediate level, so the mistakes in their Korean may be different than those of beginners that are often pointed out in other videos about Korean mistakes. If you continue this series, I'd love to see you do it with the Pentagon members Yuto and Yanan.
Hi thanks for doing this! Please consider continuing to use kpop clips to teach us more grammatical points and common korean mistakes after you are done with this series, using native korean speakers :D
mad props to bambam! I was so thrilled to hear how great he is, I really enjoy listening to him talk. idols I'd like to see covered next would be g-idle's shuhua, minnie and yuqi!
I like the insights you provide on language learning. ^_^ When I'm learning a new language, I usually focus on pronunciation but manner of speaking and flow is just as important as well. I will keep that in mind. I usually forgot that the way we speak is a factor of our personality too. I'm curious to hear about Eric Nam's Korean. (Or Jessi, Jay Park, Tablo)
haha i loved this, its interesting to see that bambam has the best korean skills out of hte got7 foreign members lol hoping you do a sequel with some newer clips as well
Been waiting for this video, Billy! Your videos have been helpful for my Korean studies 😊 I'm Thai-American (and from LA!) and speak Thai as native as English. I think you're right about the subtle Thai accent. There are many Thai sounds and characters that sound like Korean (that's why I study Korean with a Thai instructor mainly, and supplement with your videos for added explanation!). BamBam's nickname wouldn't appear on his birth certificate, per se, but yes, most Thai people have a nickname because our real names are so darn long. Some Thais has nicknames even if their real names are only one syllable (force of habit?). His real name is pronounced 간피묵 푸와군 (but the 간 in this case is a hard ㄱ as if it were the second syllable) 😊
Out of the three foreign members, Bambam trained at JYPE the longest, so he was in Korea the longest. Mark is next and Jackson trained for the shortest period, out of those three, before debuting. Naturally Bambam's Korean is the best out of the three foreigners, especially because he went to Korea at a very young age - 12 or 13 (easier to pick up languages when you're young).
@@kbyeforever I'm not from the US, they only start teaching a foreign language in high school? How old would you be when you first learn a foreign language then?
@@KD-zj4ye at my school we started freshman year/9th grade when most students are 14-15 years old. and my school only required 2 years but nobody becomes fluent even with 4 years (other schools may have different circumstances though)
@@kbyeforever omg that's really late. I'm from an Asian country and we start at 5 years old, in grade 1, and it's compulsory until you're 16, after 16 you can choose to not continue with the foreign language
I love this series! I really appreciate how you got a native speaker to check over your analysis. I'd love for you to also review and analyze the Korean for the foreign members in The Boyz (Eric, Jacob, and Kevin)!
I wonder if he’d ever have fans send in videos of them speaking to grade, that’d be funny ahaha. But that’s a teaching job I bet he gets paid for that lol
I love how you really learn about the individuals before you share your thoughts! Really commendable. I would love to see you react to nct who have a whole Chinese unit and seventeen who have members from China and America.
Could you please talk about Jae and Young K from Day6? Also NCT's Mark and Johnny would be great! Thank you for your lessons, they are always clear, useful, interesting and funny!
Billy, please do an episode about NCT's Mark - from Canada and Johnny - from Chicago. I really wanna know how their Korean really is against to native speakers.
I like your video, I think that you gave the knowledge to everyone to see your channel. I like your English so much coz it's so clear and easy to understand. I'm a Thai person And I have a chance I will try to open to see your channel. Thank you
i'd be interested in seeing an analysis of Hangdong's (from Dreamcatcher) Korean, as in their early videos the members talk about her still learning Korean but they don't mention it any more from what I can tell.
i would love for u to take a look at ni-ki's (enhypen) korean and also soul's (p1harmony) they both came from japan and debuted around the same time, near the end of 2020.
You should grade Enhypen's Jake and/or Ni-ki sometime. I know they're still rookies and haven't even been in Korea for THAT long but I think it would be great to point mistakes out :)
Would love to see the foreign members of NCT analysed next! especially since they've all been learning Korean for different amounts of time. would be especially interesting to learn about johnny's, because he learnt Korean the longest (and a few years ago claimed he's known it the longest but his Korean is the worst) and also ten's as well because he speaks so many languages!
I'd love to hear your views on Ni-Ki's (Enhypen) Korean, and would really enjoy a series of videos analyzing the conversational style of each BTS member!
these videos are so interesting! i would be really interested in knowing what you think about the 4 Japanese members of Treasure as well (Yoshi, Mashiho, Asahi and Haruto)! I feel like you would be able to see a difference from when they did Treasure Box til now :) thanks for the great videos!
hello sir billy, can you make an analyzation about the korean level of izone's sakura, hitomi, and nako? plssssss, I would love to see that, thank you :> from philippines :>
I would love to see an analysis of Vivi from LOONA! Poor girl went to Korea from Hong Kong barely knowing the language and it is known she struggled to learn it even after debuting. I think she's fluent now but i'd love to know you input! 💖
Bambam practices a lot with games (discord talk too) and loves to see tv a lot. He is the one that talks the most korean as his best friend is the maknae from got7. His pronunciation is his struggle as he does gets shy as he speaks sometimes and he translates this to a chill mode, so his speaking mixes with a softness natural to him. If you listen to him talking in thai , he talks even softer and relax, but since he has been so much in korea that he does show this step back on speak too.
Hey Billy! I have really been enjoying your new RUclips series of videos evaluating foreigners speaking Korean. I don't know if you are taking any suggestions on here, but it would be great if you could evaluate people like Cristian Burgos or the guys from 비정상회담. Thank you! 그럼, 다음에 또 봐! ㅋㅋㅋ
You should definitely check out Chenle and Renjun of NCT Dream, they are both Chinese but they are really good at Korean. Renjun actually has korean background but Chenle has improved very fast so I think it would be a lot of fun for you to compare his korean throughout the years.
oversætyou can analyze Day6´s Jae and Enhypen´s Niki and Jake and Jay. I do not know if you want to analyze jay, because he has lived in korea since he was 9. Niki and Jake have not studied Korean for a long time. (sorry for my english)
It would be cool if you did some of the nct members! They have a lot of foreigners including Johnny, Yuta, Kun, Ten, Winwin, Lucas, Mark, Xiaojun, Hendery, Renjun, Yangyang, Shotaro, and Chenle! You probably won’t see this though since I’m late lol.
please grade any of nct's non-korean members (they have plenty) - johnny, yuta, kun, ten, winwin, lucas, mark, xiaojun, hendery, renjun, yangyang, shotaro, chenle. i'm looking forward to seeing members like chenle or winwin or lucas, because their korean really upgraded
Hello, great videos. You can try and NCT. They have many foreigners in that group, so that will keep you busy. ( I checked your videos. I did not see NCT yet. If I missed it, I apologize.)
Bambam is actually his name too. Not just a nickname some friends gave him. In Thailand parents assign short names to their children as well as full names and everyone calls them that. It was surprising to me too but later on a Thai friend explained it to me.
Oh man, you could have a field day with NCT. Two native English speakers, one Thai, and like four native Mandarin speakers and three native Cantonese speakers. All with wildly varying degrees of Korean proficiency. I'd love to see you analyze any or all of them!
I love that all these clips criticising the members korean are old. In recent interviews, the korean members say the foreign members are basically korean at this point which makes me just proud
This video was originally much longer (18 minutes!), but I had to remove some more recent videos of BamBam due to copyright. Some media companies just *REALLY* did not want me using their clips, even though I made sure to follow all Fair Use laws. I'll be addressing this along with some new plans for the series in an announcement video coming next week, so stay tuned~!
Could you please review Amber Liu or Henry Lau’s Korean in a coming video?
Please do a video on (G)-IDLE's foreigner line members korean skills. All of them speak it so well i bet you'll be amazed
Oh that’s a shame!
Can you please do lucas, winwin, and ten from nct
I think Bambam is in general an auditory learner, he also learned English just by listening to his English speaking friends.
The fact that BamBam learns most of the languages by hearing and talking and not in books is totally true, you can see it easily with his english being mostly slang and really colloquial ways of talking, especially when compared to jackson where it's obvious he learned it in school.
Also, I like hearing BamBam talk in korean a lot, especially in lives I find it so pleasing :)

Bambam is actually his real name.
Everyone in Thailand has an added easier name because the regular name is usually so hard to pronounce and long.
His brother's are Beer & Bank and his little sister is Baby (aka Princess).
it's a cultural thing to name your children with both real name in ID card and the nickname even though today's children's nickname is as long as the real one 😂

Oh no Jae is so good there's no need 😆😂
@@youllzkn4985 yea literally even when he first came to korea and didn’t understand much people would always compliment that he sounded native
@@eryn2252 true hhhhhhh yeah he said it himself , he sounds native but he used to say crazy things on live broadcast without realizing it .
Nahh~~~ agree
The fact that he has a soft voice that can melt everyone's heart. He's a fast learner and that makes him amazing..
i just need to take a second to address that folding wall with the shelving in it....i absolutely love that idea, plus it makes for the perfect backdrop!
My exact thought ☺️..I wish I could have that set on one of my wall.
I love that wall shelf thing too!
But then I remembered I live in an earthquakey country and if I had one of those, it would be falling down once a week!
i feel like jessi would be very fun to evaluate!
I’m always endeared by BamBam! Could we see a review of Jessi, Eric Nam, and BM of Kard next? :)
Waiting Billy
yassss I really want to hear his thoughts on Eric!
Jackson said Bambam is the best korea in GOT7's foreign line. I think He can speak both English and korea as well. Thank you so much sir
no mark is loool
i really want you to react to lucas nct bc omg that would be fun LOL he speaks very cute korean and i bet so many of us want to know how you would react to him
another nct members i would like: ten and winwin (bc too much non native speakers in nct so i would recommend only a few)
HAHAHA Nctzens will be neomu happy~
_neomu lonely_
I agree, definitely NCT’s Ten, since he speaks 5 languages. His English slang (especially when he’s talking with Yang Yang) cracks me up!☺️
He should react to WayV then xD they're all foreigner haha
*skkrrtt skkkrrtt*
-Bambam
I was hoping billy was gonna add that in here
That was exactly what my mind went to when I saw Billy post, haha.
**dab**
He is known to have an amazing memory. He's really good at remembering fans too. My bias 😍💚
I really hope this series ends in billy becoming a hardcore kpop stan
I'd love to see you analyze Jessi's Korean. She's been very open about having struggled with the language.

Analyse nct members
Up
That would be so much fun! Especially members like Lucas & Renjun.
YES and ten! also mark lol
NCT next please! They have too many non-korean members to name here but Johnny, Mark, Yuta & Ten would be a good place to start!

Those clips were from 2016. I think now he improved moore i remember in 2018 or 2019 some Koreans praised his korean skills
You should definitely check out Chenle and Renjun of NCT Dream, they are both Chinese but they are really good at Korean. Renjun actually has korean background but Chenle has improved very fast so I think it would be a lot of fun for you to compare his korean throughout the years.
oversætyou can analyze Day6´s Jae and Enhypen´s Niki and Jake and Jay.
I do not know if you want to analyze jay, because he has lived in korea since he was 9.
Niki and Jake have not studied Korean for a long time.
(sorry for my english)
I would love to see you react to Jae of Day6's korean. I really enjoy this series!!
It would be cool if you did some of the nct members! They have a lot of foreigners including Johnny, Yuta, Kun, Ten, Winwin, Lucas, Mark, Xiaojun, Hendery, Renjun, Yangyang, Shotaro, and Chenle! You probably won’t see this though since I’m late lol.
Thank u it was very interesting
Love these videos!👍
Lol the “lady getting her hair done” is 채영 from TWICE
I did a whole video about the non-native speaking TWICE members, but I had NO idea that was 채영 :D
please do a video about the non-native members from (G)I-DLE
Another Thai to grade would be Ten from NCT. Highly recommend!
I'd love to see an analysis on Seventeen's foreign line Korean!
please grade any of nct's non-korean members (they have plenty) - johnny, yuta, kun, ten, winwin, lucas, mark, xiaojun, hendery, renjun, yangyang, shotaro, chenle. i'm looking forward to seeing members like chenle or winwin or lucas, because their korean really upgraded

React to rosé's Korean blackpink
Rosé is fluent in korean bc korean is her first language.She said in vlive that she knows korean since she was born but she learned english at school.
these clips were pretty old tho, i mean it’s 2021 now he has surely improved over these 4/5 years (i mean he has-)
billy just posted that newer clips were not able to be used because of copyright.
Yes, and I also talked about some other things he did really well such as memory skills, and understanding nuances.
Hello, great videos. You can try and NCT. They have many foreigners in that group, so that will keep you busy. ( I checked your videos. I did not see NCT yet. If I missed it, I apologize.)
Yeah. NCT members like Lucas, Ten, Mark, Johnny would be nice. Thank you :)
I love these
Bambam is actually his name too. Not just a nickname some friends gave him. In Thailand parents assign short names to their children as well as full names and everyone calls them that.
It was surprising to me too but later on a Thai friend explained it to me.
I have never been this early wow 😲
Oh man, you could have a field day with NCT. Two native English speakers, one Thai, and like four native Mandarin speakers and three native Cantonese speakers. All with wildly varying degrees of Korean proficiency. I'd love to see you analyze any or all of them!
I love that all these clips criticising the members korean are old. In recent interviews, the korean members say the foreign members are basically korean at this point which makes me just proud
1:25 And the third one will be Minnie ;p
Can you react to Handong's Korean? She is the only non-native member of the Girl Group Dreamcatcher. Love your videos!
