Lol it happened to me. If you watch enough videos in Korean and listen to music is korean, your brain will just start to digest and understand it. That’s how some ppl learn languages just from watching TV shows.
17:30 okay so I'll explain the origins of Hangul (한글) briefly, Sean was almost right. Korea had its own vernacular (spoken language), but didn't have their own script, and so they used what's called Literary Sinitic (or simply Sinitic), which was a script in China that was written only and didn't have a spoken form, so other countries (Korea, Japan, Vietnam) began using this script to write and started using their own vernacular languages to read it out. In Korea, it was used in different forms, so originally it was used logographically, but they also created new ways of using it phonetically as well (for example Hyangchal/Idu). As Sean said, in the 15th century, King Sejong and his scholars decided to create a new, phonetic script called Hangul to read and write in the Korea vernacular, with the aim of improving literacy rates in the country. However, Hangul wasn't used immediately, as Sinitic was considered to be the script of academia and learning, so Hangul was used by women for personal writings such as poetry etc, and a few others. It was only really in the late 1800s and early 1900s that Hangul became more publicly used such as in newspapers, partly due to wanting to bolster their national identity. The Chinese characters, known in Korean as Hanja (한자) are still used alongside Hangul but only in certain types of writing, again such as in newspapers etc. For anyone who actually reads this, hope it shed some light on the subject! :D
That was a nice read, thank you! :) I've been trying to learn and it's been fun, though I barely know any words haha. Thank you for the history lesson :D
no joke hearing someone say your accent in your second language is actually good is such a great compliment. im dutch and a friend of mine has an american girlfriend, and she actually told me she was surprised at how good i was at english the first time i met her. that actually made me feel amazing
Jack explaining how he struggled with school and learning and saying it got worse as he grew oder Now being diagnosed with ADHD: EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE NOW!!
To be fair though, Jae speaks Korean fast af. Like he doesn't speak English that fast but Goddamn get him excited for something and if he replies in Korean it's like uhh... I've seen a couple clips of him speaking to other members of Day 6 so fast they were confused 🤣
I’m currently learning Korean and I’m so excited to keep learning it! It’s such a nice language! It’ll be my 4th after English, ASL, and Spanish. I’ll be going to high school next year and I hope that I’ll be able to use it a little
@Joanna Andree not always. if you’re learning a new language in a different country/environment than the language is from there’s usually not a lot of places where you can just hear people speaking it conversationally. especially if you’re learning in school, you usually learn vocab, grammar, reading and writing first, but speaking with a bunch of people who also are beginners is not super helpful lmao
It’s even more impressive because it’s much harder to learn a language as an adult compared to learning it as a child due to some brain thing that I don’t remember
Learning languages is extremely contextual! I speak okayish German from 4 years in Berlin, but only within specific scenarios. I worked there in English, so my ability to learn was limited. My French is fluent (but not native/perfect) because I spent a year on exchange in high school dedicated to learning French in Brussels. The amount of immersion/privilege to dedicate time to learning really impacts how much you can learn.
Has it really been that long? I remember watching Jack when he was dating the Korean lass. His flat cap, the cabin in the woods and the TecnoAxe outro... Goodness I'm spiralling down nostalgic memory rabbit hole.
As a Chinese who grew up in Germany. I have noticed that seeing someone "obviously not Asian" (as in someone who doesn't look Asian) speak an Asian language (be it fluent or not) just amazes me. There's always this feeling of pride to know that someone went or is going through the trouble to learn a completly different "breed" of a languange. Because it usually means that they are also very interested in the culture to the point where they want to learn the language. And it's also this sort of funny feeling? Of seeing someone who looks "different" speak Chinese or Korean or etc. It's an interesting sight and sometimes also gives me the thought of: Oh shoot I can't shit talk them in Chinese anymore XD
7:25 this is an interesting thing to think about... like in german for example Auf Wiedersehen (goodbye) is literally translated as "until I see you again"... which is a different from Auf Wiederhören which is "until I hear you again" (aka goodbye over the phone). Its very interesting to analyze direct translations from other languages, it really gives a lot of insight into the culture and the way people think from different parts of the world.
I dont know how it's spelled so forgive me, but I remember some German pals I was staying with for a bit used to say chus (?) as goodbye, is that more of an informal/friend goodbye?
I JUST started learning Korean and 11:42 I will say that the best decision I made was to learn and practice the alphabet first because MY GOD the romanization complicates it so much. It took me like a day to learn the alphabet. I was so glad I chose to study that. I installed the korean keyboard and would do modern-day flash cards using google translate with the characters and memorize the rules more than the characters. For example ㅏ is ah with an open sound and ㅓ is aw with a softer sound ㅋ I will always remember because 키 is my favorite 샤아니 member (역시 태민 )... but even spelling Shinee out I have to discard what I know about pronouncing letters. There is no ㅎ or H in the Korean spelling. it's S-yah-e-n-ee. (edit, I spelled 샤아니 wrong earlier and got some... undesired search results so be careful 😂 its ㅑnot ㅏ) So learning the pronunciation of the characters and separating it from english completely helped me learn better. I realized if I continued not being able to write and visualize the words then it would take a long time. On the other hand I could read japaneese romanji -very- well but I had trouble learning Hiragana because of the required memorization. Anyway, I recommend to anyone: when teaching yourself learn the 14 characters and how they are pronounced. If you have to look up words then avoid looking at the romanization and read the characters themselves. use the pronunciation tool they provide to help correct you but I would avoid using the roman version as much as possible. Sorry for going on so much about it but I've been excited lol.
It really helps if you have any singing experience. The vowels in a lot of words are similar to what you do when singing. Like SHINee for example. It's not an I. It's ah ee. Which is a diphthong that makes the i sound. Which is also really common in singing cause it's supposed to be more pleasant to hear. (also sorry to correct you but it's actually 샤이니)
Jack lied, he studied korean not because he dated a korean girl but because he's a trainee and he's about to debut this year as the first Irishman kpop Idol.
Honestly coming back to this is so cute! Maybe a collab with Korean Englishman???? I think that would be such wholesome content, and both of them live in the same city...
*laughs in uno dos tres* I challenge you to a Spanish vs Japanese battle I’m waiting it should be before 24 horas Edit: Oh god I didn’t realized how much replies were gonna come in just 1 day, guess I won’t have time to do a battle... adios mi vampiro
so my mom's korean, and hearing jack speak korean is WILD not only that, but he speaks it very fluently as well (i know i'm late but this just looks cool)
I started learning Korean for the same reason, but it was only a couple months before we realized we weren't a good match. Still, I was absolutely blown away by the writing system. I've dabbled in a lot of languages just for fun, but nothing beats the elegance of written Korean. It's a masterpiece of human communication, and one of my favorite human achievements in general. Seriously, just... wow.
Jack isn’t shitting when he says you can learn the alphabet really fast. I learnt it in 10 minutes using something I saw on Pinterest three years ago and I have never forgotten it lmao

The compliment towards Jae being a native speaker comes from him being American born and not living in Korea for a while (similar to AleXa, a Korean soloist)
This kinda stuff is normal, every language has a tonal cadence, most asian languages put more emphasis on Vocal tone and language, the Masculine vs Feminine, so most males speak harsher and deeper, because they expect their words to be taken as important and must be listened too, while most females speak softer and shorter, im not an expert in this stuff, I only studied a small amount of Japanese and 2 years of Italian.
Seán should do a series where he learns Korean and teaches us along the way, it would give him a reason to use it more often. He could do so many cool collabs or a video in which he's only allowed to speak Korean the entire time, etc.
I'm the person who made that video with the admittedly clickbaity title and I didn't at all expect that 4 million people would watch it - I only made it for my brother to see. Thank you for reacting to my video and I'm glad that you could get some deserved content out of it! And again - your Korean is quite good for a Westerner. Thank you for all that you do - you really helped make my quarantine, which was already compounded by me going through a hard time in my life, much better. Hoping that this gets twice as many views!
Konglish is English written in Korean characters whereas romaja is Korean written with English letters I’ve tried learning a bit of korean but I’m really bad with new languages. On the plus side I learned hangul in about 3 minutes but I can only read at a snails pace. The only thing that annoys me about Korean is the inconsistencies in romanisation. For example ㅜ can be written as u or oo or woo when written as 우 (for those who don’t know ㅇ is silent when at the start of a syllable), ㅓ can be written as eo or u and sometimes even just o even though o is ㅗ. I’ve also seen a lot of mistranslation of ㅜ and ㅡ which is eu
Honestly this was really nice to see (despite seeing it a year late). I'm in college now and I'm learning two new languages and he has a point and being from Ireland like Jack it does feel different going from English to Gaelige to things like Italian or Russian or German and it's nice. Opens the mind
Idk if someone already cleared this up but since Jae was raised in America his Korean he wasn’t very fluent so he actually had to learn (unlike if he was raised in Korea) so that’s why you calling him native was a compliment ^^
yes yes, he’s said before on that korean shows that his pronunciation was really bad, and that he was embarrassed lol. and he prefers to speak in english.
Like Felix from Stray Kids. He's Korean but was raised in Australia and had to learn basically the entire language while in the competition to be in Stray Kids at the label. I think the leader of SKZ Bangchan taught him most of it.
@@ameliahoward9861 no he never said that. His pronunciation is perfect and good and he’s fine with that but when he tries to articulate his thoughts into Korean he found that difficult on variety shows. Jae has now lived in Korea for like 10 years now and he’s super fluent speaker now coming from a Korean myself. Whenever is see him speak Korean now he doesn’t have trouble speaking his thoughts in Korean which is good
I actually remember when Jack was starting out, he mentioned he traveled to Korea to meet his girlfriend at the time. Cool that he learned the language strong enough to keep a convo with someone.
Will admit that with hangul, the only characters I confuse are pretty much the ones that mix vowels to make wa, wo, ui, etc. Also kimbap/gimbap is so far my favorite non-spicy korean food (that I can get here)
I've always been interested in some of the Asian cultures out there and my main ones were definitely Japanese and Korean. I self-taught myself how to read/pronounce romanji when it comes to Japanese when I was around 14 y/o. That's probably the easiest thing you can learn tbf so nothing impressive there + obviously phrases and words here and there (in Korean also). Watching this made me want to fully learn Korean. Thank you!
That's pretty cool. I dated a Frenchman for several months and he refused to even speak French to me, let alone teach me any of it. Then again, his mother was French and he insisted he spoke French as well, but with all the other stuff he lied about I would not be surprised if he didn't speak it at all and just lied to me about it.
at 18:34, the editor is correct... the individual strokes are the component letters aka "Jamo" (which can represent both vowels and consonants). But when you put those strokes together you get Hangeul characters, which represent syllables.
Jae: *insults Jack in Korean;* *kalm* Jack: [in Korean] what did you just say? Jae: *panik* Jack: [in Korean] I meant I didn’t understand what you said Jae: *kalm*
Thank you Jack for the MSN Msngr memories. I'm east coast and I'd spend many days and nights talking with my friend from west coast CA... Ahh wonderful memories thanks again jack
i come back to this video so often i genuinely love hearing him say words in korean and mumbling in his thick irish accent and i don't understand either but it's okay
Oh! Btw Jack, the word 십팔 is a number! 십 is 10 and 팔 is 8 so together it means 18. It just sounds dangerously similar to cussing lol. Hope that was helpful =D
Hahaha this reminds me of when I was dating a Korean guy, I could read hangul and knew like only a few words/phrases but he didn't know any of it so he'd joke about how I was more Korean than him. I had to tell him how to pronounce his middle name LOL
i'm korean!!! this made me want to buy your coffee!! but also be careful make sure you annunciate it as "커피 사세요" because it sounded like you said "코피 사주세요" which means "please buy me nose bleeds"!
the reason they all complimented Jack for saying “Jaes a native speaker.” is because Jae isnt from korea. he was born in Argentina. so when he said that everyone was like “ohh thats a compliment because that means jae sounds like an actual korean.” edit: guys it aint that deep💀
I mean, he was born in Argentina but he moved to the U.S really young, like he's Korean-American, not Argentinian. He spent his entire childhood through university in the U.S. so he tends to identify himself as American.
@@444sun im not going to put all his born info, he was born in argentina then later in his childhood lived in california where he stayed there for awhile. he isnt a native korean.
Knowing phrases and simple words in other languages is awesome, but the key one I always learn first is "come again?" Or "can you say that one more time?" And "slower please" or "slower"
Jack, Jae is Korean American born in Argentina. That's why people were saying that it was nice of you to call him native cause he isn't.

18 means mass murder in Chinese
I have a korean friend who said that the number 18 and 'fuck' is similar in pronunciation.
Korean here, 18 is 십팔 which is close in pronunciation to the korean equivalent to fuck or shit which is 시발. People do use 18 as another word for 시발

For example ㅏ is ah with an open sound and ㅓ is aw with a softer sound ㅋ I will always remember because 키 is my favorite 샤아니 member (역시 태민 )... but even spelling Shinee out I have to discard what I know about pronouncing letters. There is no ㅎ or H in the Korean spelling. it's S-yah-e-n-ee.

I started learning Korean for the same reason, but it was only a couple months before we realized we weren't a good match. Still, I was absolutely blown away by the writing system. I've dabbled in a lot of languages just for fun, but nothing beats the elegance of written Korean. It's a masterpiece of human communication, and one of my favorite human achievements in general. Seriously, just... wow.

The compliment towards Jae being a native speaker comes from him being American born and not living in Korea for a while (similar to AleXa, a Korean soloist)
the fact that jae and seán have spoken to each other is so fascinating to me as a debut myday (a full time jae stan) and long-time watcher of seán
Imagine Mark's reaction to him speaking it fluently
Hopefully not jelly
we need to see this now. i wonder how they would talk to each other in Korean 👀
Imagine your friend speaks better to your mom than you
Pride, I’d bet.
@@badcornflakes6374 we all know it would be "THATS MY BROOOOOOOO!!! YOU GO JACK!!"
I love how jack's voice gets a little higher and softer when he's speaking Korean
He said it's because he learned from his girlfriend so he speaks kind of like a girl
He said this like 3 years ago idk why I remember this
but its kinda like my japanese friend that has a high voice in english but when he switches to japanese his voice like mf corpse
I take Japanese and it’s like I need to have a higher pitch when speaking
This kinda stuff is normal, every language has a tonal cadence, most asian languages put more emphasis on Vocal tone and language, the Masculine vs Feminine, so most males speak harsher and deeper, because they expect their words to be taken as important and must be listened too, while most females speak softer and shorter, im not an expert in this stuff, I only studied a small amount of Japanese and 2 years of Italian.
Seán should do a series where he learns Korean and teaches us along the way, it would give him a reason to use it more often. He could do so many cool collabs or a video in which he's only allowed to speak Korean the entire time, etc.

I'm the person who made that video with the admittedly clickbaity title and I didn't at all expect that 4 million people would watch it - I only made it for my brother to see. Thank you for reacting to my video and I'm glad that you could get some deserved content out of it! And again - your Korean is quite good for a Westerner. Thank you for all that you do - you really helped make my quarantine, which was already compounded by me going through a hard time in my life, much better. Hoping that this gets twice as many views!
Wow. Pretty crazy
It was a good video bro, good content for you good content for Sean I respect that. :) have a good year :)
Nice!! Loved that vid. Great job dude, high fives all around!
hang on i checked you actually did!

Konglish is English written in Korean characters whereas romaja is Korean written with English letters
I’ve tried learning a bit of korean but I’m really bad with new languages. On the plus side I learned hangul in about 3 minutes but I can only read at a snails pace. The only thing that annoys me about Korean is the inconsistencies in romanisation. For example ㅜ can be written as u or oo or woo when written as 우 (for those who don’t know ㅇ is silent when at the start of a syllable), ㅓ can be written as eo or u and sometimes even just o even though o is ㅗ. I’ve also seen a lot of mistranslation of ㅜ and ㅡ which is eu
Honestly this was really nice to see (despite seeing it a year late). I'm in college now and I'm learning two new languages and he has a point and being from Ireland like Jack it does feel different going from English to Gaelige to things like Italian or Russian or German and it's nice. Opens the mind

Idk if someone already cleared this up but since Jae was raised in America his Korean he wasn’t very fluent so he actually had to learn (unlike if he was raised in Korea) so that’s why you calling him native was a compliment ^^
I still remember back in the day when he'd say speaking in interviews in English rather than Korean were easier for him hehe :3
yes yes, he’s said before on that korean shows that his pronunciation was really bad, and that he was embarrassed lol. and he prefers to speak in english.
Like Felix from Stray Kids. He's Korean but was raised in Australia and had to learn basically the entire language while in the competition to be in Stray Kids at the label. I think the leader of SKZ Bangchan taught him most of it.
@@jasmined.greene8907 iirc it was Minho who was his primary teacher
@@ameliahoward9861 no he never said that. His pronunciation is perfect and good and he’s fine with that but when he tries to articulate his thoughts into Korean he found that difficult on variety shows. Jae has now lived in Korea for like 10 years now and he’s super fluent speaker now coming from a Korean myself. Whenever is see him speak Korean now he doesn’t have trouble speaking his thoughts in Korean which is good
I actually remember when Jack was starting out, he mentioned he traveled to Korea to meet his girlfriend at the time. Cool that he learned the language strong enough to keep a convo with someone.
Will admit that with hangul, the only characters I confuse are pretty much the ones that mix vowels to make wa, wo, ui, etc.
Also kimbap/gimbap is so far my favorite non-spicy korean food (that I can get here)

I've always been interested in some of the Asian cultures out there and my main ones were definitely Japanese and Korean. I self-taught myself how to read/pronounce romanji when it comes to Japanese when I was around 14 y/o. That's probably the easiest thing you can learn tbf so nothing impressive there + obviously phrases and words here and there (in Korean also). Watching this made me want to fully learn Korean. Thank you!
That's pretty cool. I dated a Frenchman for several months and he refused to even speak French to me, let alone teach me any of it. Then again, his mother was French and he insisted he spoke French as well, but with all the other stuff he lied about I would not be surprised if he didn't speak it at all and just lied to me about it.

at 18:34, the editor is correct... the individual strokes are the component letters aka "Jamo" (which can represent both vowels and consonants). But when you put those strokes together you get Hangeul characters, which represent syllables.

the reason they all complimented Jack for saying “Jaes a native speaker.” is because Jae isnt from korea. he was born in Argentina. so when he said that everyone was like “ohh thats a compliment because that means jae sounds like an actual korean.”
edit: guys it aint that deep💀
ohhh that makes a lot of sense tysm!
yeah he grew up in america though!
I mean, he was born in Argentina but he moved to the U.S really young, like he's Korean-American, not Argentinian. He spent his entire childhood through university in the U.S. so he tends to identify himself as American.
i dont even like jae but u got this so wrong
@@444sun im not going to put all his born info, he was born in argentina then later in his childhood lived in california where he stayed there for awhile. he isnt a native korean.
Knowing phrases and simple words in other languages is awesome, but the key one I always learn first is "come again?" Or "can you say that one more time?" And "slower please" or "slower"
videos like this are my favorite because it's not your crazy youtuber side but more of a personal side
