Her english is probably the best english out of all idols. She sounds so mature and eloquent even though she is the maknae of her group.

[@PureHoneyBoo]

ara march i know!! But if you compare her english with other english speaking idols you can definitely see a difference. Denise is so well spoken. When I hear other idols like Mark, Bangchan, Wendy, Felix, Rosé etc... you can definitely see that sometimes they struggle to answer the questions properly.

@@PureHoneyBoo not to be that person, but I've watched Rosé numerous times answered some interviews eloquently. I've watched a lot of compilation of kpop idol who was born and raised outside sk and speak english as their first language and I think Rosé stood out the most from the compilation that I've watched. I agree that denise sounds mature even though she's like the maknae of the group. she's easygoing and adorable.

@@PureHoneyBoo To be fair to the idols you mention, Wendy has nobody to really communicate too, she goes weeks, and months sometimes without having a proper conversation in english. So it’s easy to forget english plus she was born in Korea so she didn’t know english right off the bat. For Felix last time I checked he was more comfortable speaking English than Korean. Let’s see how she does 1-2 years from now and see if her grammar has fallen off.

[@adeztya]

@@Bulaanbiruu Dive gives her platform, but the one who let her talks would be her agency, no? If the agency gives her and Dive rules of what to talk, it won't be this smooth. I have worked and interviewed some JPop artists, and the bigger agency, the bigger the artists, the stricter they'll be to the journalists and the artists. They even limit questions scope and even check the final article or video before published. I am still thankful that Denise' management gives her this leeway to speak out to her heart content. Some of her answers might be ambiguous for audience, for example when she said it's hard for her to see the SN members as friends when they're colleagues (minutes 24:56). For me personally, this gives me a light that Denise is very professional in her job, but not sure how about the SN stan with this statement.

[@adeztya]

@@iwantora7530 Yes... From some of the variety that I saw, they've been given some free image unlike some other Korean idols. However still Denise also talked a little bit how hard for her to shape an image of "american but not too americanized" also about "her body image"... So yeah maybe in certain way, there are still limitation. I hope no verbal abuse or cyber bully happened for them.

Denise is probably my favorite idol these days because, as they told, it's much more relatable for us westerners when there's someone who firstly are able to speak english and like have the same cultural mindset and everything. So watching her with Jinny for example you just forget that they are at the same level as other idols but who are so unreachable in a way.

Also at the 19:49 mark, when talking about feeling in the middle with "oh you're Korean, why can't you speak Korean" and feeling torn, I can relate to a degree. I'm half Mexican and half white but grew up in a small town inbetween Atlanta and Nashville and neither community accepted me. Always got "why don't you speak Spanish/Mexican" "you're not REALLY Mexican" but wasn't accepted in the white community because I'm mixed and being a southern, didn't mix well. It's heartbreaking to hear other people have similar experiences but also nice to have people to relate to/understand you. Amazing episode!!

I 100% agree I am also half mexican and half white and I was never taught Spanish so I really didn't feel like i fit in because you could see I was mixed.

[@adeztya]

I've listened to the podcast and here I listened to this fun interview again only to see how Eric expression was when he was told as Asian Mullaney.

[@phenomenonphenomenon5832]

This maknae, omg. She is so MUCH mature.

[@taegunseol6630]

Denise talks a LOT with a LOT of sense and it just show what kind of personality she has. from this moment i will look up to secret number more this girl is something and i wanna watch her grow and even her group

[@NPSS28]

Wow Denise is very down to earth. Might just go watch some Secret Number videos! Good luck in the KPOP industry if you see this!!!! (which i doubt)

Warning : dont talk about your age in front of eric if you are younger than him, he'll end up sulking

[@charred6683]

I'm older than him, I should go on his show to him feel young. And also to be the most random guest ever.

[@NurmaBP]

He is not THAT old, and he's looking really fine. Ugh why people so obsessed with young age. For some people, they're looking better when they look mature, Eric aging like wine.

[@izdihartinina8354]

@@NurmaBP its not people who obsessed with that I think. It was Eric reaction that always cute when hearing those 'age' thing.

[@priyanshirathi2103]

@@NurmaBP relax, they probably meant it as a joke, cuz Eric always gets funny when it comes to his age and it's really cute.

[@havenmoore6299]

Out of the all kpop idols who live outside korea...she's the best speaker. Not to downgrade anyone...but she's so easy to listen to...need to stan her.

[@JohnDoe-dw8eh]

"what's your favorite season?" - "of brooklyn 99?" HAHAHAHAHA I LOVE HER

[@abrilricci8891]

Denise is so open and I loved it, they talked so much about so many topics in life. I loved this video so much Dive should definitly add Denis to the crew she is so cool

[@niceduckie]

THIS IS SO WHOLESOME????? I was smiling the whole 55 minutes like a fool!! Denise was fangirling so hard and I can feel how nervous she was but she did SO GREAT. I just love how smart and humble she is when she talks and opens up about her struggles as a Korean-American. I really hope Koreans would appreciate DIVE podcasts more for how important it is to have a platform like this where idols can just be themselves and talk about anything and getting more personal, it really opens up new perspectives.

[@fluffysnowflakes3601]

This podcast was soo GOOD! I dont want it to end, its like having a good conversation :)

[@jenniferpresticia9115]

She's so humble 😍

[@rufaidaizzah]

We can see from the way she speaks and the way she express herself or something, she is really smart

[@jullieannbacala4]

Comin' back here because I miss Denise so much😭 I'm still so impressed about how she's so well spoken AHHHHHH that's my bias

[@fffw1826]

Denise looks so mature and smart here. She shows her other charmings we never see in this segment. She has a wide knowledge and stays humble. She talks a lot maybe she is more comfortable and more confident speaks in English. She has a good chemistry with Eric Nam. Thank you Eric for inviting Denise.

[@lol0lol0lol]

Im from htx and a guy I went to highschool with knew her before debut. She is so cool and cant believe she is accomplishing so much when we’re the same age! Wish her goodluck

[@syazwina21]

Denise talked really fast but so clear that I don't have problems to understand whatever she's saying. And I love how she has so many interesting stories to share. I just watched Secret Number's Got That Boom live performance & she immediately becomes my fav. Her singing & dancing are so good. Looking forward for her future activities. Hopefully she'll become a host/DJ as well because she's so good at keeping the conversation going.

[@rangieyo]

Its easier to get closer and get to know secret number for international fans, 3 of the member so fluent in english, and the rest of the member can understand a little bit. Thats why international fans feel closer to them

[@kyrstiejoycesanjose9335]

I wish I could hold a conversation that long

[@annejenethabellar5133]

Here i am binge watching every daebak episode and im still amazed by how this humble young lady can hold and have a legit conversation with Eric 💗

Denise was successfully doing a podcast for an hour without even sleeping LoL 😂 Glad she enjoyed the podcast just as much as the fans enjoyed her rapping podcast LoL, it's really great to know more about her Denise fighting! Secret Number fighting!! ❤️

[@me9981]

I love this girl. She talked so much and so fast which is something that usually really annoys me but SHE....she is amazing. I loved every single second of this interview. I need more lmao. It's time to research that group and watch more videos of her. Also - I hope she and her group will be successful.

[@charred6683]

A couple days ago Ashley on instagram asked what guest they should have on the Get Real podcast. I suggested Secret Number and now boom Denise on Catching Up with Eric. Kinda suggested that out of the blue to keep it English and have the perspective of rookies but damn she's awesome, so comfortable and friendly and real. This won't be the last time she's on DIVE. Very fun interview.

[@ICECAT-t5r]

& Also Every members of Secret Number is Friendly. That's one of reason why i love them so much.
