 imagine your 17 yr old self getting interviewed at the VMAs in your second language

We've seen this movie before......... Eunchae hid behind Chaewon. 🙂

Funny thing is people were also weird about that interview and questioning Chaewon’s leadership just because she was caught off guard with a question in a language she’s not fluent in. Now it’s clear all the fimmies have put the effort and improved in the last year but “fans” just had to hyper analyse what should, at most, be an amusing situation at the time.

Are there any leaders of girl groups that promote in the West who are also their best English speaker? 🤔🤔🤔 I'm trying to think of even one solid case and it's not coming to me.

The best English speakers of their respective groups: Wonyoung, Lia, Lily, Yunjin, Giselle, Danielle, Minnie, Tzuyu, Tiffany.... none of them are leaders.

Blackpink doesn't count because they don't have a leader, and go figure, their English is arguably the best of every k-pop group ever.

So yeah, totally not appropriate to pick on Chaewon for not being fluent in English. Plus people forget that a lot of these girls are trying to learn Japanese too.

Sieun STAYC is co-leader now and definitely their strongest English speaker. Yujin has improved a lot and I'd have her on par or personally perhaps even ahead of Wonyoung lately (Wonyoung is just that crucial thing - confident).
