How well did the Korean celebs take English test? [Happy Together/2020.03.12]

[@lightscameraaction1423]

What yoo jaesuk felt is probably what most korean student felt. They're happy with their results but society deemed it unfit.

[@fMONA94]

Worded it perfectly.

[@ajio1057]

He reminded me of a young child happy with their accomplishment, until they notice an adverse reaction and, in the worst case, wreck what had been a source of pleasure. No words necessary for that to happen. Yoo Jaesok didn't rip up his answer sheet because he's a well adjusted adult but I'm a bit sad he began to doubt himslf. We all need whatever bit of joy we can get.

[@reishidesu]

That’s how I felt when I took the ACT and shared my score on IG. I was proud because my score was good enough to get into the universities I wanted to apply to. However, my cousin, same age as me, laughed and made fun of my low score behind my back, in front of my dad and other relatives. I felt humiliated.

I like the attitude of Yoo Jaeseok here. The test scores here are not important, he’s good actually because he can understand and read English. I’m so proud of him! English can be very difficult for others so he did pretty well.

[@lovelyme3468]

I totally support jaesuk. He is very busy person. So it already great for him that he wasnt the last one when he didn't even prepare for it. It okay that he happy for his result. We should also be positive thinking like him. After all, jaesuk is king of common sense. Common sense is the most important. Jaesuk, fighting!

[@bigmen7570]

Exactly. Russian is her first language and for them to keep saying that Angelina is a native english speaker when she isn't diminishes all the hard work and effort she had to put in to learn english.

[@CB-pk9ur]

It's okay Jae suk!! Language is just a form of communication. It is not in any way to measure one's intelligence. You did a great job!!

[@CB-pk9ur]

@BTS Taehyung That's true. However, learning multiple languages is NOT NECESSARILY equivalent to higher IQ hence not a way to measure one's intelligence (but it does inhance your brain activity and makes you smarter); Most of the time, it just means that you have an amazing memory or better at performing a certain task(prevents dimentia) but that's all. MASTERY of a certain language/s is what makes you more intelligent or genius. It means if you can solve complex mathematical equation or problems using a single language, that means you're intelligent enough and no need to learn other languages just to prove it. Unless of course, if you need them at your work otherwise totally not necessary. What I am saying is, it is about the quality of learning the language, not the quantity. P. S. Just an FYI. There has been many proven studies about the correlation of music and arts to your IQ. Music does make you smart. For example: Brian May (Queen) has PhD in Astrophysics and degrees in mathematics. Another P. S. I am a multilingual myself and majoring in Statistics but I am definitely not as smart as Jae suk. 😂

[@CB-pk9ur]

@BTS Taehyung ?????? Lol. What the hell is you're problem? I don't know where you are coming from, dude. Did someone hurt you? Did you read carefully what I said? Please do analyze what I mentioned above. I was not fighting with you. In fact, I agreed in some of what you said and my first words were 'you' re right' and just added a scientific opinion(proven)- I didn't invent them. I was trying to engage an intelligent debate but you started attacking me personally all of a sudden. Guess even tho you're a computer engineer, you're not so good at comprehension, huh? What a sad human you are. You're so attached to the opinion of the society and think so highly of yourself because according to you 'you' re valued' more than others. Eww. What a thinking. Guess your name (bts Taehyung) is not also in your level? Have respect to musicians and artists. They are in our level. Education is not limited to you. Your bachelor's degree is something you could acquire after you graduated but being genius in art and music is something you're born with - something you'll never get. Dumbass. You're the one who's insecure as fuck. I was just trying to cheer Jae suk up and all of a sudden you're trying to put him down and attacked me as well. You're the one who started being disrespectful, you asshole. Get off my thread.

[@aeriacross770]

I’ve never known why I didn’t like Jo Se Ho even when he guested on Running Man. For the most part, his humor is not that funny but his behaviour here just explained to me why. That inferiority complex of wanting to be better than others is why. He tries so hard for seemingly the wrong reasons. On the other hand, this confirms why I like Yoo Jae Suk as a person. Because he genuinely works hard, is humble, and is not afraid to push himself. This, everyone, is a lesson in charisma. I’m not saying I’m blameless compared to Se Ho but that’s a lesson I’ve learned from watching this moving forward.

[@joonjinsugahopejitaekook5723]

Aeria Cross Exactly! Woah, I thought I'm the only one who doesn't like his attitude.

[@ranmuato2882]

Yeah same with other comedian like Yang Se-chan..he always looking down at other and always bullying Lee kwang soo in running man...

[@thebieydiey]

Agreed, why don't he shows his own true self instead of trying to be better than other. Each of us is unique and i hate him since the bts incident.

[@aeriacross770]

Ran Muato I think that’s the traditional way of humor in Korea, (that’s why I’m not a fan of their gags) but I think Se-Chan has learned the past years that the traditional comedian way is not gonna work on Running Man but more of Yoo Jae Suk and Kwang Soo’s style where they make funny moments out of the situation and banter. I really like him now than when he first started on Running Man

[@aeriacross770]

thebieydiey i don’t know about the BTS incident but I’d just ignore him and not hate because that’s tiring

tbh its a lot different to regular exams tho, if you read the questions they use obscure vocabulary, all the questions are in English(so if you don't know what it's asking you then you'll probably lose points) and from what I could see most of the questions weren't just vocab tests they were testing small grammar changes (like corrects vs correctly) and inference like the paragraph at the end where they had to answer if something was true or false from the text. I did German GCSE (UK) and the questions were mainly vocab and some inference and we had a curriculum so we had themes like food, jobs and technology so if you learnt your vocab it was easy. I think people that do these exams do their own studying so have to cover everything and learn all the grammar rules and maybe do it independently outside of school/work so it's a lot harder from all angles. I actually feel bad for the people who are preparing for this it looks horrible :(
