For someone who knows English fluently, Somi doesn't speak it very often on camera. Here's a compilation of Ennik's moments in English, many of them thanks to her very own dad.
If she debuted with twice, they could've had an english speaking representative during interviews. They could also do american guestings coz somi could be their translator. tsk
Ahh I envy you!!! Even if I'm bilingual we only speak Greek in the house..I sometimes speak Engish with my Unnie but it's rare..we do it just for fun. :(
Right, seeing as her dad is canadian/dutch, they speak english at home. She doesn't write super well in english, since she moved to korea when she was one year old
seeing somi speaking a second language with her dad is so cute. It makes me miss my dad a lot because we spoke a second language together. sadly he passed away two years ago :'( (sorry to be a downer)
소미는 요즘 영어로 더 자주 말해요❤ For people saying that Somi speaks English a lot, I would like to say that I made this video a while back, during a time when Somi didn't have many appearances on tv, and because her members were korean, she didn't speak english very often. Nowadays it seems Somi speaks english much more than before!
@@benandterrys haha I made this video before all the sixteen clips were taken down. For several clips in my videos there were no eng subs so at the time I used the very basic and honestly not so good youtube editing studios to add subtitles for those who don't speak korean! Most clips with awkward looking subs was me adding them for intl fans ^_^
Somi already has a contract under JYP as a solo artist. I think that since she's in high school, she won't be releasing music as often as other solo artists for a while, but will continue her activities
I can definitely relate to this! I wasn't into i.o.i until I watched unnies slamdunk season 2 and after that i tried to discover somi more. She's very adorable and energetic. I can definitely see she'll be doing well. Kind of worried about what she'll offer as a solo artist but I'm excited.
Somi will probably continue on making duets like the one she did with Eric Nam.She's also in the cast of Unnie's Slam Dunk Season 2 and she'll play in a drama with Red Velvet's Seulgi (my bias ♥) and I'm so excited!!!!
This applies to all cases. The reason why I love watching Korean artists/celebrities speaking in english is because of the entertainment value of korean shows. mixed with english language (the only foreign language I can understand fully) is heaven to me. And ofcourse somi. She is really fit to do variety shows. her reactions are awesome and she's so animated..
The Musician Me If you''ve watched Sister Slamdunk's Episode where the whole group tried the Personality Test (first time for the new members, second time for Jinkyung and Sook.) Somi got 0 introversion and 21 on extroversion. Which means, she's very outgoing and fun to be with. She's useful for variety, business and filling the empty atmosphere. She's basically South Korea's little sister, according to Minzy ;;
her dad: you can do it somi: no i cant her dad: try it again somi: *makes an x* her dad: try it but use a different color somi: 싫어 her dad: try and use- somi: stop. no. stop ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Love the video, although her English moments aren't exactly rare. I saw her Instagram stream the other day and she basically spoke in English for the majority of it.
if u watch happy together (she guested with her dad) she tries very hard to adapt to korean society esp during her primary school. she coloured her hair dark (u can see her dad had a lighter hair) bcuz she doesnt want to be the odd one in the class. so i guess she rarely speak english bcuz of this issue. unless in a comfort her family/private conversation she speak english. compared to amber, tiffany they embrace their background n culture and proud of it. probably they're matured enough so they have no problem showcasing their english proficiency
Hey thanks for these! It's been at the back of my mind for a while that I've never really heard somi speak in English in her variety shows. So it's really nice of you to have compiled these for us fans! Thanks again
bone apple teeth You're welcome! It's been bothering me for a while, so I decided to hunt down clips of it to make this compilation. I'm glad you liked it!
since I'm from Canada when I listen to Somi speak English she feels really relatable as if she's a young girl who just goes to my school or something it's really nice :)
Nini Chungha grew up in Texas, that's why she speaks English so well. You're the first person to compliment my videos. Thank you very much! It means a whole lot to me!
I like hearing SoMi speaking english thou~ Such a shame that she speaks only few phrases and sentences 😢 Want to hear more 😍 She's lit 😉 Hahaha! But it's fine thou~ 😄 Her speaking in Korean is adorable and cute 😀
I love Somi when she speak English, seeing Somi speak Korean all the time is a little boring, English is more better with her foreign face :)) Thanks for do this!
Giang Nguyen Thu Thank you for your lovely comment! I'm thinking about making a new compilation of her speaking english too, so you can look forward to that!
Somi & literally every kpop idol: 𝙂𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 english Sasaengs & the people that work for dispatch: I. Am in your area Somi: oops you're not invited, yeah you're not invited
She speaks English much more now! I think in the beginning, she wanted to be as "Korean" as possible, because when she was introduced to the public, mixed race idols were not a thing, and she didn't want people to think of her as a foreigner when she was raised in Korea, and is half Korean. She didn't speak English very often at all.
i really like how douma raise somi like a son. he has a good reasons why he raise somi that way. because entertainment world pretty harsh and quite hard. so he told somi if she want to be an idol/singer she must do with his way. he trying to push somi to the limit and make her even stronger so if someday she failed again (like when she's in sixteen it's kinda sad for douma to see his daughter didnt make it) she know how to handle it. and i can see how good she is now. im looking forward to somi next project. solois? or group ?
If yall really wanna see Somi speak English for a long period of time, watch her Instagram lives. They've been uploaded on youtube. Shes done a few and deadass speaks english throughout almost the entire duration, answers questions, singing songs, spending time with her dad etc💗
![Girlgroups are different! Somi learns the dance in just 5 minutes [Sister's SlamDunk2 / 2017.03.31]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/o3_MjbmETYw/mqdefault.jpg)
In 2019 she’s like :
Imma shake it shake it shake it like it was my birthdayyyyy
Oops you’re not invited yeah you’re not invited
And everyday is my birthday
And Can’t get you outta my head
Heol, I can hear her singing voice XD
“I got all the boys coming round in my yard”
And now 😂
If she debuted with twice, they could've had an english speaking representative during interviews. They could also do american guestings coz somi could be their translator. tsk
Yea.
Yea thts true.
yup
Yes😭
I’m happy Somi debuted as a soloist though. I can’t imagine her in twice.
somi represent most if us bilingual kids . especially when talking to our parents
Youngjae Laugh Yep. Especially wheb she mixes English and Korean like I do with English and my first language
Ahh I envy you!!! Even if I'm bilingual we only speak Greek in the house..I sometimes speak Engish with my Unnie but it's rare..we do it just for fun. :(
Youngjae Laugh i'm Chinese-Indonesian, but i never speaks chinese at home. My dad can't speak chinese even he is chinese lmao.
Sunday
Omg yeah! My dad speaks Spanish to me all the time and I just reply in English 😆
Norwegian-russian heeere
*i'm back here after somi's debut lmao*
mariel齉. Same
Same, since I just got into Kpop a few months ago so I didn’t know who she was at all, lol
0:25 what show is that??
It's Sixteen
same here hehe
Although her dad speaks english I didn't know she spoke English so fluently because I'd never hear her, I'm so blown away
she's said before that she went to a foreigners school. idk until what grade though
Marissa Perez
She speaks English pretty well although her writing isn't that great.
Right, seeing as her dad is canadian/dutch, they speak english at home. She doesn't write super well in english, since she moved to korea when she was one year old
She can write, she just has bad handwriting. But she also doesn't have very good korean handwriting either xD
does her father speak korean fluently?
Somi's father is Dutch-Canadian.... Dude.. BEING DUTCH HAS NEVER FELT SOOO AMAZING!!!
Anh Thy And being Canadian with a march birthday and loves kpop never felt so good.
Because of Somi❤️
yes.
Jiminie yep
Anh Thy IKR SAME
seeing somi speaking a second language with her dad is so cute. It makes me miss my dad a lot because we spoke a second language together. sadly he passed away two years ago :'(
(sorry to be a downer)
Aw it's alright
thats so sad.sorry for your loss
فنون الحياةuh.. No
Wait which one is her Dad?

PJM9AC make part 2
GriffinChaeng m
She should tone down excessive English in Korea.
Ok but where did yall find that sixteen clip i thought sixteen episodes magically dissapeared

The more Somi related stuff I watch, the more I become a fan.
I just wonder if she will re-debut as a solo singer or in a group..
Somi already has a contract under JYP as a solo artist. I think that since she's in high school, she won't be releasing music as often as other solo artists for a while, but will continue her activities

So I might join TWICE for their next comeback.
No she won't..she's a soloist now ;)

난 얘 목소리가 너무 좋더라. 노래부를때나 평소에 말할때나.. 난 소미의 목소리는 진짜 무기라고 생각함
네....진짜 맞네요! 소미의 목소리 이뻐여ㅡ귀엽내용^^
진짜 너무 독특하고 좋은 것 같아요! 시원하고 탄산수같아요 그냥 ㅜ 그냥 딱 하이틴 생각나는 어 그런 느낌!!!!
I'm surprised that this video was posted 4 years ago
I'm surprised people are still watching this video 😭
her dad: you can do it
somi: no i cant
her dad: try it again
somi: *makes an x*
her dad: try it but use a different color
somi: 싫어
her dad: try and use-
somi: stop. no. stop
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
1:07 Lmao she sounds like a anime character on eng dub.. She sounds very cute though
ㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄱㅋㄲㅋㄱㅋ 마이텔 댓글에서 제발 한국말로 싸워달라는 거 진짜 개웃기네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Imagine twice with somi.. then attends/guests international show..
Sometimes I wish twice had 10 members
Her "Don't tell me!" was adorable ugh!
Most idols that are fluent in both English in Korean basically sound different. But Somi's voice stays the same.
I just noticed that she and Evelyn look alike
Somi: *Chunga unnie*
Somi: *CHUNGHA UNNIEEE*
Chungha: *mm*
Somi: *do you have body lotion*
Chungha: *Yeah*
Before: veryyy rare speaking in English
Now: she speaks in English frequently
I just realized that I haven't really heard Somi speak straight English or something like, have a convo in English.
아닠ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ저거 마리텔인가 자막 뭐얔ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ개웃곀ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
And now she has officially debuted! So proud of her!
oh my so this was 4yrs ago
I really like her voice, idk why. Her voice is so full and so pleasing to listen to.
소미를 살리지못하는 jyp 안타깝다 목소리진짜 이쁜데;; 소미는 그룹보다 솔로로 선미같이 활동하면 좋을거같다는 내바램.
성지순례 왔습니다
@@orderly_jungyeon 22
Omg the way she responded in like half Korean half English was so cute😂
Somi looked so small in the thumbnail...😭💞
And now Somi's already 173,3cm so tall for female 😱
If somi pass as one of the member of twice, she will be the english speaker representative of the group😣
Love the video, although her English moments aren't exactly rare. I saw her Instagram stream the other day and she basically spoke in English for the majority of it.
Those are the exceptions. In variety shows she almost never speaks english
Also, I was finished making this video before her instagram live >.
I see. If you're interested in some more moments, she spoke a lot of English during the I.O.I streams.
Well,that's pretty obvious. I mean,korean shows are for koreans in the first place,there's no gaining for her in speaking english.
if u watch happy together (she guested with her dad) she tries very hard to adapt to korean society esp during her primary school. she coloured her hair dark (u can see her dad had a lighter hair) bcuz she doesnt want to be the odd one in the class. so i guess she rarely speak english bcuz of this issue. unless in a comfort her family/private conversation she speak english. compared to amber, tiffany they embrace their background n culture and proud of it. probably they're matured enough so they have no problem showcasing their english proficiency
The most Iconic part is Somi with Chunga's Part

I don't know why but somi and her father reminds me of the iconic father-daughter pair from the movie THE TOMORROW WAR
When i found out Somi is quarter dutch, i actually cried.
since I'm from Canada when I listen to Somi speak English she feels really relatable as if she's a young girl who just goes to my school or something it's really nice :)
Catz1a well she is canadian so.
nihal * nope she's half dutch / korean.. Her father is dutch living in canada..
i like how this video was recommended to me after her comeback. anyways, stream DUMB DUMB!!!!
I believe I can fly

RUclips recommend me Somi's related video after I've watched DUMB DUMB and I Am Somi and I'll watch all of it💕
"I believe I can fly" somi version crack me up
knew she was good at English but didn't know Chungha knew English😱 love your videos btw
Nini Chungha grew up in Texas, that's why she speaks English so well. You're the first person to compliment my videos. Thank you very much! It means a whole lot to me!
Somi just became one of my favorites.
Man: _dont look down_
Somi: *_DONT TELL ME_*
Man: _dont look down_
Somi: *_"keep testing my patients"_*

I think after TIFFANY I like SOMI the most in kpop girl idols...
The fact that she sang "I believe i can fly" reminds me of Jackson who sang the same thing during a Hard Carry episode.
Bromance for life
Somi unnie is just 😍😍😍AWESOME 😍😍😍
Her confidence makes me fall in love with her!!
At 1:18!! I dead in laughing!! Somi I love you and your english!!

and i can see how good she is now.
im looking forward to somi next project. solois? or group ?
If somi is in twice I sure that some is the english speaker of the group and jihyo is the leader what a great combination 👏
i love it when she speaks English with Chunghaaaa
"chungha-nie"
" chung ha niee~"
And here i am waiting for Ennik's debut
I like Somis dad. He is so sympathetic
I just love her😂❤️
