AKP STAFF

Recently, a fan uploaded on an online community a post titled, "The reason RM continues to study English." On the post, the fan included captures of a brief dialogue with RM as he reveals that he must keep studying or else he will forget how to speak the language.

RM stated "Many people believe I can automatically speak the language whenever I want to. However, I forget how to speak it if I don't speak it for even a month. I had difficulties speaking with Halsey because I couldn't translate my thoughts into English right away."


After hearing this from RM many netizens could not hide their admiration for the artist. With an IQ of 148, RM was believed to be able to speak English very fluently due to his high IQ. However, through this short clip, many found out that RM puts in endless efforts to maintain his skills.

"He's so diligent and sincere."

"He's amazing...He continues to study even though he has such a busy schedule."

"I got a high score on the TOEIC exam too but I forgot everything since I stopped studying it. So sad."

"Even BTS is studying...I should too..."

"RM is the best leader. Puts in so much effort."

I honestly get where he’s coming from. If you don’t speak a language that often, it’s easy to forget some stuff. Namjoon is amazing for studying and dealing with everything else at the same time

I respect him so much, as someone whose mother language is different than my country's main language, I understand what he is saying. If you keep using only one, you forget the other, humans are forgetful creatures so even if you master a skill you have to keep practicing it. It's always amazing to see how good Namjoon is at speaking English and how he has almost no accent anymore! I'm always surprised when he says that he learned English through "Friends" and not private-tutoring, that shows a lot of dedication! His dedication, patience, leadership and BIG BRAIN always amazes me! Keep practicing Namjoon! Even as a Korean-speaking International ARMY I always appreciate you speaking in English! Thank you so much!!!
