Korean Actors and Actresses Who Speak English Fluently

Aside from a few small lines, Korean actors who are fluent in English don't always get to show their fans just how good their language skills are.
These 10 Korean actors and actresses are fluent in English, either from living in an English-speaking country or learning the language on their own!

[@angelov774]

Kang Sora, Lee Ji Ah, Taecyon, Shin Se Kyung, Rain, Doona, Ahn Hyo Seop, Ahn Ye Seul has a good and clear pronunciation of the words in English, which gives us a hint that they are fluent in English.

[@gisermarkcamasa5285]

Ahn Yeo Seop is Canadian korean., OK Taecyon was live in the US before he became an actor. Dont forget Gong Yoo.

[@Soumya1401]

Lee ji Ah has a seductive voice

Also krystal jung. Her english is phenomenal

[@ricciville3104]

I think it is a great advantage for a Korean celebrity to speak and understand English. No matter how others criticize them for some imperfections they are still way ahead of the others. It brings them to places and opens doors for new experiences. Good job. Keep it up.

[@UnicornsandFaeries]

They do very well. It's the same for someone from another country speaking a trying yo speak a foreign language. I always find people very tolerant and helpful when I make mistakes. They respect and are happy that I at least try.

[@annaamat1983]

it is a great experience for everyone to speak more than one language. The more the better!

[@bbyjaehyukie7138]

I've known Ahn Yo Seop for years, but I got to know that he was Korean-Canadian only a few months ago.

[@Chiabelss]

Yes Ahn Yeo Seop

[@reveluv3056]

[@peterbell3199]

Being fluent in a second language is such a huge benefit or that person.

[@chayingonzaga6964]

Pronuncing the English words is very important in which the audience can clearly understand what the actor is saying

[@Rahaf1860]

Taecyeon and his family moved to Boston when he was 10y.o so is ahn hyoseop it makes sense they know English and fluent

[@rachanaa6745]

[@quintenrome5914]

Lee Ji Ah's English is so sexy. You should include Park Eun Seok . He's really good too.

[@darlyne9079]

What about Krystal Jung? Her is English is great!!

[@prithabanerjee3706]

Maybe they didn't include her because she's technically American?

[@gisermarkcamasa5285]

Because krystal is half American that's why

[@onishkapink]

She lived in San Francisco, US for many years so it's not count

[@maybememory1]

I love watching actors speak English in Korean shows/movies, it’s such a flex to them

[@bugoyjusticeleague5450]

How about the "Queen of K-pop" Kwon BoA? She is the first-ever K-Pop soloist to enter the "Billboard 200" (the only female K-pop soloist to enter the "Billboard 200" as of this writing) and she is also an actress that had several hollywood movies like "Make Your Move" and "Over the Hedge" just like Rain! She speaks fluently in English and even Japanese.

[@Nomnamnomm]

This is about actors and actresses!

[@bugoyjusticeleague5450]

@@Nomnamnomm Oh really? Rain is a singer/actor. For his music career, he debuted on 1998 in a boy band and then debuted as a solo artist on 2002. For his acting career, he just debuted on 2003. So why not consider BoA? A singer/actress with hollywood movies like "Make Your Move" and "Over the Hedge." Also with Korean movies/TV shows like "Big Match," "Listen to Love," "Waiting for Love," "Athena: Goddess of War," and "Autumn Sonata." So BoA is a singer/actress just like Rain! 😛🎤🎬

Yeah, BoA tried to enter the US market back in the late 2000s. Totally bombed. All the Wonder Girls are fluent since they moved to the US as well in JYP's bad decision to enter the US market.

[@lovefaieth]

Out of these 10, only 5 are proficient enough and that makes Ok Taeyeon at the top. Park Eun Seok should be on this list.

[@ornellaaribam]

Son Suk ku, Choi Woo shik, Gong yoo, Jun Ji hyun, Jung Ryeo won, Lee Byung hun are some other actors who have good command over English.

[@marytyrone9020]

But jun ji hyun and gon yoo are not that good in English

[@NoorAhmed-mp3hp]

You forgot gong yoo his English is really good!

[@yoyoyeoh6044]

His name is not "Okay taiciyon". It's Ok Taecyeon "Oc Taek-yeon" for your better understanding

[@Leophotic]

To study english, you need to speak with your family or your friends so that your pronunciation will be better. And you need to read more english books. That's how I learn english. Don't worry about your accent, it's about how you can speak to the public and people understand it.

[@ayushsinha5512]

Shin se Kyung ,Kang Sora did on their own

[@yukies.9506]

What about Lee Byung-Hun? Definitely, he's a very fluent English speaker, working in some Hollywood films.
