I agree its odd. We all think of these guys as super smart, but not a one can do an interview in English.

Look at Dimaga, TLO and Stephano. They all had a different first language than English, but they all can also do English interviews without problem.



most europeans I know usually speak at least 3 languages, english being one of them

Koreans, mostly, do know varying degrees of English as it is a mandatory subject and many students take it as an extracurricular activity. However they feel a great sense of shame when speaking English in front of people and especially foreign people. It's a shame/pride dynamic and I think most TLers would be surprised at how much English Koreans know and understand.

Do you know which languages do the korean study at school ? Mostly chinese ? Japanese ? English ? I'd like to know.


Why would Koreans be required to study Chinese or Japanese lol

You can't equal the differences among European Languages to differences between European and Asian language. And also, they have too few access to English contents and people.
Fuck you Zealously! For the fuck you give to those players.

I work at a Korean middle school.

Students learn English [compulsory] from grade 3 elementary school and in middle school they have to learn either Japanese or Chinese (at my school) in addition to English.

I can guarantee that 90% of under 25s can understand a huge amount of English, they are just shy and not confident in speaking it at all as they're afraid to be embarrassed or say something wrong.

I know, ex-gf was Korean, that English was mandatory. I believe Chinese and Japanese were not. To everyone saying how European players don't have a problem with speaking English despite it not being their first language: Come on now really? You are really saying that because EUROPEANS- whom have a cultural and historical connection to the language- speak English in front of large audiences it should also be natural that Koreans should do- therefore Koreans are strange because they don't want to speak a language they aren't very proficient at even though those Euros do it all the time
