Collin, an American living in Korea, revealed how he practiced speaking Korean through K-dramas
The recent broadcast of “Welcome, First Time Living In Korea?” featured the guest appearance of Collin, an American living in Korea.
The program showed Collin learning Korean through dramas and movies. In the footage, Collin was seen lying on a mat in the middle of a park.
While watching Korean dramas and movies, Collin repeated famous lines to practice the way Koreans speak as well as the characters’ intonation.
What drew attention was that he watched a historical drama and imitated the lines of the characters in a historical material tone.
In particular, Collin even repeated the line, “I’m a eunuch”, without understanding what it means. Seeing this scene, the MCs burst into laughter.
The atmosphere in the studio then became sorrowful out of a sudden when Collin practiced the lines in an emotional scene. When asked if he knew what he was saying, Collin said, “I didn’t understand it back then. I just watched any video people sent me and practiced Korean”.
Later, he turned to a romantic drama and said the famous fluttering line, “We’ll date if I drink this”. Collin said, “I actually wanted to try this line”, drawing laughter.
“Welcome, First Time Living In Korea?” airs every Monday at 8:30 p.m.
