A lot of people need to be reminded that 🦊 was born and raised in Korea and isn’t a native English speaker. Like okay yes he did live in the U.S. for 2 years when he was around 9, but that’s not enough to make someone fully fluent or native-level in English
He can understand and express himself in English pretty well, but there’s still a difference between that and having complete fluency esp when it comes to nuance, tone and idioms. That’s what people keep overlooking!
Language ability also isn’t static. If you grow up mainly speaking 1 language (which in his case is Korean) that naturally becomes your dominant one. Even if you learn another language early on, it can weaken if you’re not consistently using it at a native level That’s just how bilingualism works🤷♀️
So to be over-criticizing his knowledge in English or expect him to perfectly grasp every nuance, then you’re applying a double standard. Especially when even between native speakers, meaning can get losttranslation between languages is never 1:1. Different languages encode tone, cultural context and implied meaning in completely different ways which is exactly why certain phrases don’t have direct equivalents
At the end of the day, he’s bilingual in a practical sense, not a native English speaker and people need to stop holding him to an unrealistically high standard
