Big Ocean: Making waves as first hard of hearing K-Pop group

[@blakekaveny]

Props to him I think his name is chanyeon for speaking English. He absolutely didn’t have to. But even not being able to hear fully his pronunciation is amazing.

[@cairidonia3117]

It’s Hyunjin. Chanyeon is on his right and Jiseok on the left. And yes, he speaks better English than some hearing idols 😅

[@blakekaveny]

@@cairidonia3117 Oh ok thanks still learning the names.

[@sakshi36]

I am VERY HAPPY TO KNOW that THIS company has thought OUTSIDE the box and is giving so many young lives to REALLY GO AFTER their DREAMS WITHOUT the negativity from people who cannot / will not SEE PAST Disabilities!! I look fwd to seeing MORE from Big Ocean and other groups as well 🥰

[@unozachiel]

Hyunjin sound so cute speaking English

[@shannonbigler2498]

This was a wonderful interview, respectful. I'm a special education teacher and have worked with a young lady who is hearing impaired. The young men of Big Ocean are an inspiration, period. They have a special place in my heart.

[@AmalaFrequents]

I love Big Ocean and I'm really excited to see what their future holds. Also, Hyunjin's English is so good! These boys are working in three sign languages and two spoken languages as well as learning to dance and sing, respect 💟🤟

[@BlobOfZero]

This debut seriously made me so emotional I love the positivity this group brings for all disabled folks ❤

[@moonveillight]

Love seeing Big Ocean on various news sites!! Also, Hyunjin you did great with speaking English! Fighting~

[@Ladybuguboo]

I'm learning both Korean and ASL currently. This group brings me so much happiness and hope for more representation. Proud of these guys.

[@lisaschumaker9100]

I know just a bit about ASL and have been learning Korean for a while. Isn't there a kind of pattern of setting a topic in ASL that's similar to using the "topic particle"? I always assumed that feature of Korean would be less confusing to those who know some ASL. The linguistic similarity is really interesting to me! Makes me wonder if there are other languages that mark a topic.

[@JonesieVerse]

Fox 13 Seattle, thank you for doing this interview!! Chanyeon, Hyunjin, and Jiseok, thank you for existing!! Thank you for being born!! You've done well!! PADO LOVES BIG OCEAN!!!

[@sakshi36]

Props to Hyunjin for speaking English I first heard him speaking English in his short video His communication skills is really amazing 😍

[@debbievandyke_culture]

Great interview! These young men are so impressive. I love k-pop because it is driven by positivity, hope, and tenacity. Thank you Big Ocean!

[@BTSISMYBIAS94]

So, they speak Korean, English, AND Sign Language?! Multilingual!!! Wishing these men great success! I will be supporting for them, too!

[@Atiny_Stay143]

They also know three types of sign language- Korean, American, and International! They’re so impressive ❤

[@niteangel27]

Thank you Fox Seattle for covering these amazing guys🥹💝🌊✨

True meaning of “Expanding K-pop” These boys are Amazing.. Fighting 💪🏼🥰

이렇게 자랑스러운 적은 없었습니다. 이런 잘생긴 남자 3명이 내 인생에 갑자기 나타나서 너무 감사하다. 나는 케이팝 그룹의 팬이라는 것이 이렇게 자랑스러웠던 적이 없었다. 빅 오션 화이팅! ❤

[@alewu9569]

Such a good interview!! Let’s go big ocean!!

[@ronanmaebee]

they are very sweet and love connecting with fans, i hope they are successful !

[@Sendbees]

I’m so happy Big Ocean exists!💕

[@kelly-bq8cz]

These guys are awesome. Such hard workers! I love their positive message! Go Big Ocean!

[@bluekimchiandrea4476]

I love how the interviewer speak straight forward and not condescending, thank you. Folks often do that when speaking with folks who have a disability or speak another language themselves. Thank you! I don't have Tik Tok because it was distracting me too much 😅

[@JuliaAnderson1853]

I'm so glad Big Ocean is getting the recognition they deserve! That being said, I'm surprised a video highlighting people with disabilities doesn't have subtitles. Subtitling not only the Korean, but also the English, would make this video much more accessible.

[@Harry-ts4qu]

I always watch their live on tiktok, they really work so hard. I will support them for sure!

[@CN_22]

Big Ocean, fighting 😊❤ I wish you all the best!! I applaud their company, PARASTAR, for giving them & other disabled people a chance to shine :) Congratulations BIG OCEAN, & I can't wait to see what's next for u guys ❤

[@spoutnikobo]

Thanks for the amazing interview, I enjoyed it so much. 💕

[@addy8078]

Chanyeon dancing to Dalla Dalla and Sneakers in his audition warms my midzy heart! 😊 And I can’t believe he was a whole medical student before debut. A sweetheart with brains! He’s my new bias for sure 🌊

[@mehitable5149]

Great interview. Love the song Glow and look forward to hearing more of your music.

[@spoutnikobo]

Thanks for choosing this path and giving us a great music. Your hardwork is not gonna be wasted! We appreciate you guys a lot 💕

[@adoptedbykpop]

so ironic that it's a group that promotes accecibility, and here is a video of them where CC are not available throughout the whole interview. Fox 13 Seattle, you kinda missed a huge point.

[@Grlybrainiac1]

Yeahhhhh 🫠 let’s hope they see this comment and add cc’s
