I'm sorry but Joonie's humor is my cup of tea 😂😂😂😂

There is a rumor that Suga is secretly fluent in English but he keeps quiet cuz he sees what RM goes through.

[@HadassaMoon144]

Suga seems to understand most English, especially when he's tuned in and the speaker isn't too fast or using lots of slang. But his speech is very basic. He can't express himself the way he seems to want to in English and gets so shy. It's funny how he used to almost whisper his responses but they were always grammatically correct.

[@ffvctoria]

It is quite noticeable in interviews that Suga and Jungkook understand English quite a bit because they even react before the translator does his job, I think it is more the fact that they do not like or draw attention to speaking in English in interviews haha

[@tatamelbavlogs5561]

Of course they are they are always outside the country and very talented people but they don’t need to drag that … its easy to learn English than korean or another languages

[@Koakoa45]

in 2023 Jungkook, Suga and Jin are very good in English. Jimin was learning with a tutor prior to military.

[@chimchim8078]

I wouldn’t call it fluency cause fluency is something you can achieve through practice, fully speaking and engaging and at some level you’ll be thinking in the language, at the least mixing the two languages coherently to replace words you don’t know, there’s 4 stages of fluency, Listening Understanding Reading and Writing, and they are not necessarily related to each other, they all prolly have some basic level on all 4 but if they don’t commit full time in using the language at all/half of the stages they won’t be fluent, going to a class makes you understand the idea and concept of the language the rules and how it works but not using or speaking it at all, esp not if it’s a few hours of class and some movies in the language with subtitles and 95% you engage in your own language only, like I know how Mandarin is supposed to be how it’s pronounced the way the grammar structure is but I can’t speak any Mandarin or understand at all I can read Korean perfectly but I don’t know what I’m reading at all but I can pick up more on basic sentences and random words I recognise to put two and two together which doesn’t really work, they probably know travel communication and if they grew up watching/hearing English content they prolly can understand it but speaking and processing it in the way you want to communicate is a whole different game esp when you can’t think in the language, they do recognise a lot of words but words don’t equal context they know the meaning behind the words cause I’ve seen JK before learning a list of vocabularies but in real time speech focusing behind word meanings would take a while to translate it into a sentence, also even if it is your mother tongue smt if you stop engaging in it long enough you actually forget or become harder to start speaking again, so to expect people foreign to the language to be good in a language they don’t put as much effort to is even harder cause they don’t have as much memories attached to it, my mum learned English in elementary school taught fully in English medium at an older age so it took her a few years to get fluent in English but it’s not her dominant language because she didn’t engage in English outside school, so no matter how fluent at reading writing and understanding it all, she still struggles to speak she would prefer writing and she does really well at writing and poetry but she will avoid speaking at all costs and get embarrassed for mistakes or turn to me to translate better to make sure she’s got it right but if she was alone with me she’ll speak completely fine basic conversations in English so I feel like people underestimate how much thinking in a language helps with actually communicating and also even if you’re fluent you can’t talk in a language you don’t talk in cause if you don’t practise it how else would your brain recognise how speech is supposed to flow. Well BTS is a music group so music can help but they still have to put effort to have a way where their brain make scenarios and speech in English and sing the words like they know the story behind every word or try writing songs in English even if it’s bad at the start not to necessarily release but for private, for us to ever hear them speaking in English, which would be hard cause their work consists of several multi tasks and effort to write songs in the language they process best and that can take ages as it is with artist blocks and all and they only really interact with international people during work with translators which is necessary at the time instead of having a hard time figuring out just to learn a language when work is priority, so I don’t think with the way they work it’ll ever be possible to see English speaking BTS, anyways I’m actually very fascinated and passionate about languages and speech evolutions so it’s something that I love looking into and whenever I see people talk about people that seem to understand but never speak they are usually either monolingual or learnt other languages at a very young age so they don’t really understand how learning languages actually work and it’s a whole cool brain process So I tend to go off a little- 😬 I have a thing for writing essays can’t help myself idk how to not write in detail- it gives the full picture of what I’m trying to communicate-

[@elvedinasaciri]

They once had a translator, but he didn't do his job with translating so namjoon had to do it again,but he was struggling to, while the other members told the translator to do his job

[@claudia2456]

Yess that one clip where jhope takes Namjoon's mic so he can't translate anymore and then signals the translator to do his job

[@elvedinasaciri]

@@claudia2456 yeah correct

[@debrabroxson1395]

That’s really the first time I remember JHOPE getting angry 💜💜❤️👍

[@ol.3917]

​@@debrabroxson1395JHOPE been angry is a very common thing. I'm bias of angry and serious JHOPE's so I'm always looking for his angry looking glaze 😂

[@debrabroxson1395]

@@ol.3917 lol 😂 I just remember this first time because the video made me upset watching RM struggle during the interview. I watched every program RM is part of and he’s a genius and I was angry at that translator too.

[@aliceseteco122]

Ben finally reacted to Namjoon being Namdone while translating for BTS Strong power, thank you 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@leeswhimsy]

So passive aggressive, lol!!! Glad you enjoyed this!

[@BansheePurple]

I love Namjoon's sense of humor and sarcasm so much lmao 😂💜

[@YouknowlknowLeeKnow]

He doesn't want to say full sentences 😭

[@siogw2816]

Yeah after a wile they did hire a translator, but even then rm always ends up translating a lot, wich adds a lot of pressure to him. I remember one time rm seamed so tired in an interview and hobi ended up taking the mic from him and asking the translator to do his job

[@marynjoroge8357]

This is always a funny compilation. Tannies have grown a lot during their solo stuff and RM got a much needed break. I love how proud he looks when they get something right in English. He doesn't look it in this compilation, but he's actually super supportive 💜

[@debrabroxson1395]

What is cute is he has to translate Tae’s Korean into Korean lol. TaeTae language is delightful 😂💜

[@rmbryrcrtr]

Strong power thank you by RM still remains iconic 😂😂😂... its among BTS iconic lines that only Armys know😂😂

[@sueothman7550]

The amount times he had to translate what the members long sentences were into 2 words lol 😂😂😂😂😂

[@HazelBechtel]

This video should just be called ‘RM being so done as BTS’s translator’. 😂 Thanks for posting, Ben! Have a good day!

[@addictedbtskpop1876]

Even though they can't speak English but they do understand it soo well because they knew it when Rm explain it wrong and laugh 😂😂"jhope money rich" 😂😂😂😂

[@SevenAngelsss]

To be honest I love it when They just do these things in Interviews because these American Interviews during 2018/19 ask all the stupid questions so I like when Namjoon give answer like this because they didn't ask sensible questions so they DESARVED Answer like this😂

[@Koakoa45]

Funny thing is you can tell the other members do understand English that is why they laugh so hard when he makes silly translation.

[@ArmyGirl-2023]

Father RM is such a amazing Translator and Leader 💜 🖤

[@Ateezkpoplife]

I also lost a lot of brain cells!!! ALSO, I HOPE RM KNOWS HES MORE THAN JUST A TRANSLATOR

[@hadilagal7371]

i swear RM is so funny

[@marydowns2595]

When the translater wasn't doing his Job and Nam got frustrated Jhope took Nams mic and told the translator to do his job

[@evekane2423]

Sweet Taehyung has a really hard time expressing himself most of the time. It's better nowadays...then it was really hard. He needed time to speak and put his thoughts together.

[@jasperredman6916]

I love that eventually they knew enough English to know how funny Namjoon’s translations were

[@КяКалико]

RM actually amazing translator and there way more clips of him doing it perfectly. I guess with time he stopped caring about it because most of the time people don't prepare for interviews well and just ask them the same questions over and over. What very important most of this clips from their first promotion in America during 2016- 2017 . When BTS didn't even expect to get there. Now their English skills so much better. They all understand it and good at it for sure. Translator usually hired by people, channel, journalist who takes their interview. But they almost never do it. They have pretty limited time with BTS , but translator can take few precious minutes away, bring delay in conversation. And i don't think idols company would want to hire the translator, because they got to practice this way and genuinely get better. Public goes crazy over their faves saying few words in their language,even in clumsy way . I'm curious did you know that real idols who already debuted get English and Japanese mandatory lessons provided by company? They learning well, but don't have time to do it regularly. So usually its very small amount of lessons. Now Hybe doesn't have that much say in what BTS need to do. And members from time to time do online lessons on their own to have better communication with fans.

[@ffvctoria]

Please reacts to other idols talking about BTS, it's really cute the way they express about them and how they are treated by their juniors and some sunbaemin 💘

[@jamkutie]

I completely getNamjoon especially when he tells them to syay it in english. He knows they have basic words to say something and want them to practice and pull their weight too. They might no9t be fluent but it's helpful when they pitch in and help him. He has had a MUCH needed break during this time from the group.

Watching Ben × bts crumbs is my new obsession! 😆😎

[@kaylie9384]

The chaos of the interview with V’s “color changing soup” is what made me an Army.💜 I was so endeared by the chaos of the interview and just knew I wanted to know more about their personalities. 😄 So much respect for them speaking English since I’m finding out how hard it is to learn another language as I’m now studying Korean (isn’t that a natural progression of Army who don’t know Korean? 😁).

[@7_purple_wonders]

Strong power thank you will always be my fav😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@emanmohamed6342]

I love the bts content era fr keep going 💗

[@elazybelleorr2472]

As hilarious as it is to see Namjoon fed up I also get it, just because you can speak multiple languages doesn't mean you can correctly/easily translate them, and alot of people see someone who speaks more then one language, assume that means they are a walking Google translate 😂. Theres more to translating and being completely fluent then just understanding the definition of a word, or phrase; like cultural and even regional context or slang. As well as how much vocabulary you have acess to, and individual intent and tone. Thats alot to think about and understand while also trying to find the words that more closely resemble each other in two different languages to fully get across whats being said and expressed. My dad, alot like Namjoon, taught himself english growing up from watching American television, hes comfortable enough expressing himself speechwise, but to this day, ( and hes been a citizen here for over 30 years,) he still struggles with some vocabulary, and reading and writing in english. There are times I still have to help him, or vice versa when I need help understanding something in his native language, he can't directly translate it for me, so it becomes a back and forth of explaing and comparing cultural context and intention rather then specifically word for word lol.

[@Pooky1991]

RM's expression says ut all lol

[@Lenaas.rkivee]

They had a translator but they didn't translate right and so rm went back to translating for the boys

[@zarachelsi5992]

Hi I am first u are the best youtuber

[@7daifan]

As someone who translates a lot for work, I can attest that YES, translating is a SKILL and it is not something anyone can do just because they know more than one language. I think considering the circumstances RM does great. When I translate in meetings and stuff I have to write while people are talking so I don't forget what they say etc, hit all the major points, etc. and it is ESPECIALLY annoying and DIFFICULT, when people don't answer someones question directly (because they don't know the answer, basically they'll give a politician answer) and then its like "okay bro I still have to translate what you said and they're gonna wonder why they're getting an irrelevant answer to the question they asked..." If that happens sometimes you gotta explain like, "look I asked but they just aren't giving me the answer." Anyways, like yea, especially because BTS doesn't always give relevant answers (not upset by this I love all their chaos), and because there is just a lot in one go to try and translate (how can he remember all that, ya know?) it is probably very difficult for Namjoon to have to try and translate all the things they say on the spot. He does an amazing job imo.

[@rashmikumar4208]

Okay I read the comments but didn't find this. BTS does have a full time translator now whenever they go overseas or do such interviews. It used to be Nicole, but now that she has apparently resigned, there would be someone else. But they do have translators now. Even English experts when they do songs in English...

[@susila11]

[@drawwithkomalmahor2178]

They do have translator also ..when they go on tours..i don't know about interview ..back then they have.its not like rm doesn't want to translate or frustrated by them..but like translating 6people is quite tough.he can't do it all time..most of the time he do it.also he wants that members also talk by themself.

[@commonsense2680]

Poor RM, I thought he was kind of joking when he was sarcastic about having to translate, but I can see from this video how frustrated he must have been. I know those other guys, or many of them, can understand English, and speak it, but they just don't because they think it will sound funny with their Korean accent, or they are afraid of getting it wrong. I understand that because my parents mother tongue is different from English but English is my first language, so around family etc. I feel funny trying to speak their native language because I will speak with an American accent and they will laugh!
