nct foreign members vs. the korean language Reaction! (I'm confused help me please lol)

[@LazyJamie]

If anyone can explain anything I didn't understand in this video I'd appreciate it a lot haha! Thanks for watching regardless, leave a thumbs up if you enjoyed :) (This video was not made with the intention of making fun of any NCT members! Their talents are incredible as well as their ability to speak multiple languages, it's genuinely so impressive! Just a bit of fun! Laughing with them, not at them!)

[@creaturesoul4469]

3:40 That’s Donghyuk (Stage name, Haechan) The one with the brownish hair. If you meant the one with the purple hair, that’s Chenle (pronounced like Chun-luh) The game they’re playing is one where you say a phrase and have to accentuate the next syllable every time you repeat it going from the first to last syllable. Like let’s say the phrase was “I like puppy dogs” you’d go “ *I* like puppy dogs” then “I LIKE puppy dogs” then “I like PUPpy dogs” and then “I like pupPY dogs” then “I like puppy DOGS” The challenge comes from having to do it really fast. The Chinese members in NCT Dream sing in Korean, the Chinese subunit WayV sings in Chinese.

[@LazyJamie]

Ah thank you! Explains a lot :)

[@creaturesoul4469]

LazyJamie You’re welcome, NCT is a very big group so it can get pretty confusing sometimes. I can’t help you with anything about different languages, but if you need clarification on some things right now feel free to ask me. I’m not an NCT expert or an expert on Korea, but I’ll try and tell you what I know.

[@tokyomoonchild8988]

lol the game they were playing is supposed to help with their diction and pronunciation. They are supposed to emphasize different syllables in a certain word. also glass

[@mahje1542]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ literally translates to kkkkkk and it’s just the korean “sound effect” for laughing.

[@Natthebubblegirl]

10:55 Mark actually asked “Do you want to drink tea?” Chenle understood it correctly but took a while to answer. Renjun misunderstood what Mark said and thought it was “Do you wanna be in a team?” and thought that Chenle was the one who misunderstood.

[@naitriumes1914]

Natalia Basiladze that was always made me confused

[@helen200211]

they're playing a game where you have to quickly pronounce a word in all its accent variations (??) for example : là-zyjamie lazY-jamie lazyjà-mie lazyjamiè ^^ (?)

[@arinyugrass]

joons rightdimple No, they just need to pronounce it like louder, there is no accent variation between the syllables 😊

[@nctreve4100]

@@arinyugrass it's not about saying it louder, just accentuate every single syllable one after one. Most say it louder so you hear it more. :)

[@laurenkentwalton]

7:10 is chenle, despite what he said his korean is really good!! he sings in it,, all members in NCT127, NCT U and NCT Dream sing in Korean, but they also have chinese, japanese and english versions of their songs :)

[@nat3895]

ㅋㅋ this is korean "hahah". We write haha to express laughter and they write kkkk which in their alphabet is this letter ㅋㅋ

[@ratpoop467]

That game that they keep on playing is a game where you have to emphasize every syllable in a word. For example : nakamoto yuta (this is the word) it would sorta bw like. NAkamoto yuta , naKAmoto yuta, nakaMOto yuta, nakamoTO yuta, nakamoto YUta, nakamoto yuTA....the capitalized letters are the syllables that you have to emphasize while saying the word.

@luvyuwu JFJDJOS PLEASE IM JOKING IGNORE THAT IVE CHANGED IN A YEAR

[@eliterae8666]

The "ㅋㅋ" character is the korean version of "Hahahaha" Also the joke/pun on that scene is basically Q:"Where is the place that produces a lot of bananas" A:"Amazon" (That's because they're referring to the Amazon rainforest but also "Ama" in korean means "probably" and "Zon" is pronounced as "John" in korean so the joke can also mean "Probably John")

[@yazminvr2362]

Hey boi, please react to "All exo members are done with Baekhyun".

[@kirby-stomp]

the game is for every syllable in a word/phrase you have to emphasize it, so for, "nakamoto yuta", it'd be: "NAkamoto yuta, naKAmoto yuta, nakaMOto yuta, nakamoTO yuta...", and etc. "ㅋㅋ"/"keke"/"kk" is just like our "haha" or whatever lol also, when something most likely seems like it "rhymes" in korean with english, it's because it's konglish which is like the equivalent to spanglish (i.e korean-english/spanish-english words). p much every language has a variation of words with english mixed in. some examples are 오렌지 (orenji/orange), 피자 (pija/pizza), etc.

[@OliviaM-hr7vw]

The game they kept playing is a word game where you have to emphasize different syllables every time you say it lol for example: *NA*kamoto yuta na*KA*moto yuta naka*MO*to yuta nakamo*TO* yuta nakamoto *YU*ta nakamoto yu*TA*

[@imguccibutdontshopthere1023]

10:43 I think it's because the words sound similar in korean. So with Yuta and Mark, friendship sounds like silence in korean. The word game they were playing is like emphasizing a word.

[@jwn-mn1gn]

I was about to sleep but you uploaded Btw pleaseeeee react to Stray Kids (any video)

[@xMuffinx]

ㅋㅋ Means 'LOL' or 'big laugher'

[@mahaesuperior]

Glass!!! I hope you still watch the part 2, 3 and 4 of the nct foreign members vs the korean language, most of them are easier to understand than this first one. some words sound the same in korean but have different meanings, that's why some of the foreign members end up understanding it differently which makes it really funny hahaha, like the part where mark asks chenle, "do u want to drink tea" but to renjun it sounded like "do u want to be in the team?" and the part where mark (canadian) asks what "friendship" is since it was spoken in korean but yuta (japanese) heard it differently and explained it as "be quiet" since friendship and be quiet in korean language sounded similar.

[@marspacebun]

the foreign members begin learning korean before debut and then proceed to learn more and more as their careers go by. so they often make mistakes, don't understand/know certain words or expressions that aren't often used, etc. some know a lot more than others (this is normal bc not everyone learns at the same pace) some have thick accents when they speak korean, and you can only hear this if you've been exposed to a lot of korean beforehand. but generally speaking, they're doing pretty good.

[@imguccibutdontshopthere1023]

10:58 I don't know if you heard but cheap and salty sound similar.

[@vanessapaviag]

basically the game that theyre playing is that they have to annunciate each syllable of the word for example: LEonardo dicaprio ,, le O nardo dicaprio... leo NAR rdo decaprio ... leonar DO dicaprio ,,, and so on lol also foreign members usually have to learn korean before they debut, some of them just still can't speak korean correctly because even after debut they keep on practicing correct grammar and such so yes they speak Korean in their songs also the blonde guy you said sounds like a liitle kid... is a little kid lmao. He was born in 2001, he was 17 in that video jndkjnberub THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO NCT

[@sxnflowerblossoms1147]

If your wondering about Chenle since he’s Chinese but he speaks Korean in music. Yes he speaks Korean in music, in the future, he might join a group called “Wayv” which is a Chinese group.

[@ariblake4080]

Jamie it’s Jin’s birthday today! You should react to Jin is the icon of this generation and Kim Seokjin a documentary if you haven’t already seen it!!

[@godblessu8541]

for me as a korean its so funny to hear their accent and pronounciation

[@bye.7613]

8:13 it is the letter ㅋ in korean which is used to symbolize laugh, pretty much as if it had been written ‘hahaha’ in english :) also, the word games they played a lot is a korean pronunciation game where you have to accent one syllable per time. for example at 6:15 kun is doing it with ‘부릉부릉’ (meaning vroom vroom). in this case he’ll have to say it 4 times since there are 4 syllables in the word. the first time he has to accent the first ‘부’ more, the second time the first ‘릉’ more and so on. you have to make sure to accent the right syllable each time but also always pronounce them right. i hope it helped someone understand :)

[@renjenhaecjaemchenji7664]

Yeyyyyy! 💚 another NCT reaction

[@dararahmailaahiah7919]

[@hano6859]

The Korean word game is basically them repeating the word, but every time they put an accent on a next sylable. one example from the video: NAkamoto yuta naKAmoto yuta nakaMOto yuta nakamoTO yuta nakamoto YUta nakamoto yuTA

[@raquelutrilla83]

They sing in Korean but usually some idols are from different nationalities Chenle is Chinese, Winwin Chinese, Yuta Japonese, Renjun Chinese and half korean, Lucas Chinese and half Thailand, Ten Thailand, Kun Chinese, Mark is from Canada and Johnny is American

[@starsoullove127]

They mostly sing in Korean (even the foreign members) but WayV is a Chinese sub group that mostly sings in Chinese.

[@maskedmarvel09]

There are a few of these videos for NCT and would love to see more. More than half of their members are foreign, which I find amazing, and the fact that they struggled to communicate to start off with, and still made it work, bless them. If you are wanting to get to know them a bit more, the 'subpar guides' to nct dream, 127 and wayv by the channel 'softjun' are pretty good at providing helpful details

[@Leah-mq7yc]

the guy that you said had a nice face is haechan

[@bequietdontcry4218]

6:57 they speak and sing in korean but there are still some words in korean that they don’t know like maybe big words, words that are not used daily and to answer and elaborate questions asked in interviews. I think thats what they meant. Also I remember when Ten (thai) was asked what makes him want to learn korean and he answered “bcs i want to understand what im singing” 😂😂

[@baakojernigan7095]

All together the languages that they know include: korean (obviously), english, chinese, japanese, thai, and german... am I missing any?

[@coolgirl312]

Baako Jernigan well technically the “Chinese” is broken down to two: Mandarin (the language people generally call Chinese) and Cantonese, which is a completely different dialect spoken in a lot of southeastern China, Hong Kong, and Macau. It’s Lucas’s first language, XiaoJun and Hendery also speak it, the 3 of them often talk to each other in Cantonese.

[@baakojernigan7095]

Yup plus doesn't winwin have another dialect that he speaks when talking to his family? Idk what it's called tho

[@annabella7253]

For the word game they’re supposed to emphasize different syllables of a word each time they repeat it like LAzy jamie laZY jamie lazy JAmie lazy jaMIE

[@arinyugrass]

7:00 He sings in korean in the kor. Versions of the songs too. It’s not because you can’t really understand or make sentences that well that you can’t pronounce words 😊

[@leefelix0325]

That game is a syllable game like.. Avocado aVOcado avoCAdo avocaDO

[@victoriaodegaard1]

The Korean game is that there is a short phrase and each time you have to emphasize the next syllable in the sentence until you've gone through them all

[@renjenhaecjaemchenji7664]

3:34 is haechan

[@unknown-tj1jp]

At 7:00 you said do they sing in korean or there own language. They sing in korean because they're in korea so they sing in korean

[@annahajkova5642]

I am pretty sure the game they keep playing is a phonetics game where you have to repeat the word but every time you do you stress a different syllable. For example at 6:26 Taeyong is using Yuta's full name, Nakamoto Yuta, right so it would be: NAkamoto yuta naKAmoto yuta nakaMOto yuta nakamoTO yuta nakamoto YUta nakamoto yuTA At least it's what I have gathered lol

[@Whereisoreo69]

ㅋㅋ is the equivalent of Lol. It’s like the Korean way of laughing instead of 하하(haha).

[@daesfullycapable638]

The word game you’re so confused about is basically a Korean tongue twister.

[@noodlesandsprite7052]

Mark, Johnny, ten, and jaehyun can speak Korean and English fluently and also ten can speak like 5 languages in total they’re multilingual kings

[@lisamissesnajaemin1384]

I'm not too sure about this but about things sounding the same in both english and korean, i read that korean's kinda adopted some of the english words to their language. i think i also saw a youtuber, jaykeeout or something like that, making a video talking about that and asking koreans to talk without english in between, like news or ice cream

[@renjenhaecjaemchenji7664]

the korean game is about emphasizing the syllables from the first to next until to the last like of that nakamoto yuta. It goes "NAkamoto yuta naKAmotoyota nakaMOto yuta nakamoTO yuta nakamoto YUta nakamoto yuTA "

[@cake6787]

all of the foreign members have improved a lot in korean!!! but they are/were still learning because it takes a while to... learn everything?? if that makes sense. they used to memorize the korean they sing so when they were not as good as it they were learning while singing i guess. i feel like i don’t make sense lmao

[@meesmellink]

the word game is based on syllables so like for example the word ‘aircraft worker’ you have to say AIRcraft worker airCRAFT worker aircraft WORKer aircraft workER

[@AniWillow]

For the game they just have to enunciate each syllable of the phrase: Like: I love you i LOVE you i love YOU

[@ReanaIsHere]

6:54 *during training,* (I’m not sure if you know this but just in case, training is required before debuting, they can kick you out if you’re not good enough) *international trainees are taught Korean and sometimes Japanese depending on the company. So he is Chinese, speaks it, but was taught Korean since it’s Korean-Pop so he sings in Korean but there are times where they weren’t taught certain sentences and such so that why he says he isn’t good, they just give him lyrics to read but they’re all somehow fluent in Korean :) I’m also new to watching your videos, keep the good work up!

[@maskedmarvel09]

The korean word game is repeating the same words over and over, each time putting emphasis on a different syllable. So if its a 4 syllable word, will say it 4 times, emphasising the first syllable, then second time the second syllable and so on..

[@chxd2206]

tea in korean is '차' (cha) team in korean is '팀' (tim) tea doesn't sound like tea in english but team sounds like team

[@spoopyjhope]

3:40 that's haechan

[@akari7224]

So for chenle, the Korean. I’m not sure about this, if I’m wrong my apologies this is my explanation. And I do speak Korean just not first language :) Chenle does understand some korean, the Korean in the songs sometimes they have to pronounce it so they try hard and all that. He might understand most of it but sometimes the pronunciation is from them. (If you don’t understand sorry- I just kinda can’t make it understandable since I’m not that good in English) (Thai/Mexican/Chinese problems 😅) Now for this (ㅋㅋㅋ) it’s a way for Koreans to show that they are laughing! They can also use this (ㅎㅎㅎ). It also is like saying: hehe or laughing as well. (Also I know Johnny, Ten and Mark aren’t Korean, if some of ya’ll say that they aren’t. I know the members :)

[@Pip.Darling]

SPAGHETTI Also ㅋㅋ is pronounced "ki ki" it is basically what they use when they are laughing (like how we In English would text haha they would text kiki) ❤️

[@WrenAstraea]

Okay I haven’t seen your videos in a while but either your voice went ⬇️⬇️ or I’m going crazy.

[@coolgirl312]

All members in K-pop group sings in korean (since it’s korean pop music). Basically foreign members, as trainees, take Korean classes as part of their training. Usually the ones who’ve been training for years are generally fluent by the time they debut. But everyone learns and picks up languages at different paces so some can be completely fluent within a year, some continue to struggle even after debut. A lot of the clips shown in this video were from their early days so it seems like they’re struggling more than they actually do. Also just a side note, the guy who was introducing their album (when you asked what language they sing in), Chenle, he only trained for 2 months before debuting so he really had to pick korean up quickly. The game they’re playing is, they have a phrase and each time they repeat it, they have to emphasize the next word, and it gets a bit tongue twistery, I think they play it a lot because it’s hilarious, it’s a way to past time in a car, and it helps the foreigners with pronunciation.

[@candy.9223]

*Wuaaaah hope ull react one day (helpful guide) to STRAY KIDS band plz and thanks our Jamie* 🙏🏻

[@katla640]

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ is like saying hahaha or lol in korean

[@hellu00]

11:24 it was cheating because in this game non korean members (in this scene it was ten in front and lucas behind him) have to explain a korean word to the korean members without saying the word (i think?), the korean members don't see the word so lucas was helping ten to get their team get a point because he knew how to explain it. But it was not his turn so i believe that's how he cheated

[@barbaro267]

It's not that hard to sing lyrics in a foreign language. I was in choir for 8 years and I've sung in various languages. It's basically just memorization through repetition. You don't have to understand what the words mean to be able to sing it. For some English parts in NCT songs, you might get a variety of pronunciations, good or not so good. For instance, in NCT Dream's new song Puzzle Piece, there is a part in which Haechan literally sounds like he's saying "puzzle piss" LOL! Some members work hard to sound fluent for their English parts, but others really don't. But hey, as long as it kinda sounds like English, it's all good. They all work hard on their pronunciations overall and I think it really shows :)

[@jinhui_park_9688]
