K-Pop idols are loved all around the world, so it comes as no surprise that they work hard and try to learn a new language! Although their efforts are highly commendable-- some more than others, there are a few idols who you can't resist smirking and chuckling at once or twice when they try to speak English. Not pulling a TMZ/EXID moment, but I can promise after hearing these 15 idols speak English you'll be spamming the replay button for a good laugh!
CNBLUE's Yonghwa
If you know about the Satoori accent from Busan, then you will know about the Satoori English accent. No matter how much he tries, CNBLUE's Yonghwa can't escape his strong accent when trying to repeat the lines "Is it my turn already?"
BESTie's Dahye
BESTie's Dahye isn't a master, but she knows English decently enough to say a few funny lines here and there. There is even a comical moment on 'After School Club' where Dahye and B.I.G's Heedo try flirting in English!
2AM's Jo Kwon
2AM's Jo Kwon is also a riot and he stops at nothing to make everyone laugh. Feeling confident in speaking English, he shows off his skills but to our surprise it all turns out to be gibberish! Try to see if you could make out his words.
MBLAQ's Mir
One of the most funniest moments in MBLAQ history has to go to Mir writing in his diary in English-- or as he likes to call it, "ENGURISH." Seriously...he literally calls it that. Either way, he is like a cute little child as he learns new words by writing in his journal everyday and saying things like "I'm Ouch!" instead of "That hurt!"
Super Junior's Eunhyuk
Super Junior's Eunhyuk definitely proves his love for English as he interviews some American fans! Although he says a few words, no one can deny how lucky that one girl is when Eunhyuk asks her to marry him and he takes her hand as if they are ready to walk into the sunset on their honeymoon.
TEEN TOP
The boys of TEEN TOP will have you laughing as they practice their fundamental English phrases like, "How are you?" and, "How is the weather today?" The responses are even funnier, especially when L.Joe responds to how are you with "Why do you wanna know that?"
B1A4
B1A4 were put on the spot during a live fan meeting where the hosts tested their English speaking abilities. The boys were successful in answering the questions, but their few broken sentences can make any BANA giggle with glee.
2NE1's Park Bom
Park Bom speaks English pretty well and she is quite capable of holding her own! Even though fans watch in amazement at her English speaking abilities, no one can resist a chuckle or two simply because of how cute she is when she speaks.
Brown Eyed Girls' Ga In
This video is the most WTF-worthy English moment in K-Pop. If you thought Jo Kwon was saying some weirdly cute things, Ga In will blow you away with her odd 'prepared in advance' sentences.
f(x)'s Victoria
Victoria, aside from Amber and Krystal, is the most capable member to speak in English; however, Victoria still makes a few cute mistakes here and there when she is put on the spot!
BTS' V
The shortest clip but probably the funniest, BTS' V has quite the potty mouth when speaking in English! Well, OK...his pronunciation is more of the problem in this case but life is a beach.
Big Bang's G-Dragon
G-Dragon has really perfected his English over the past few years, but before that he was just another cutie spouting random phrases, singing song lyrics and hilariously imitating 2NE1's CL's opening lines in "Fire."
Boyfriend
The charming boys of boyfriend were put to the test as they practiced their English with a native speaking English speaker on 'W Academy.' They were asked a series of questions and expected to answer them in the best way possible-- which definitely made for some funny responses!
Seventeen's DK
Seventeen has some members who speak English as flawlessly as they speak Korean, but DK is more confident than good at speaking English.
Girls' Generation
Although Girls' Generation has a few members who are quite skilled in the English language, their time spent speaking in Korean for so long doesn't stop them from making a few cute blunders here and there.
BONUS: EXID
No one can forget that horrible time TMZ mocked EXID while visiting the states. The infamous "I'm so happy" line became worthy of a segment on SNL Korea that no one could resist laughing at!
