JaeJae shuts out Korean before Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland interviews

"The problem is I'm a native Korean," JaeJae's English concerns

Broadcaster JaeJae has entered an urgent English study session ahead of meetings with Hollywood stars.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'MMTG Civilization Express' on the 16th, JaeJae revealed the pressure of her upcoming trip to London. Heading to London, UK to conduct exclusive interviews with a star-studded lineup including Anne Hathaway and Tom Holland—the leads of the film 'Odyssey'—JaeJae shared her worries regarding the English interviews, stating, "The problem is that I am a native Korean."

"I have never understood 100% of what they said," a candid confession

JaeJae candidly confessed the difficulties she has faced while interviewing overseas stars in the past. She stated that she has never once understood 100% of what her subjects said on-site, and has instead carried on conversations using only energy and vibes.

In particular, JaeJae expressed regret while recalling a past interview with Anne Hathaway. She noted that toward the end of that interview, there was a moment when Anne Hathaway recommended a song by Lana Del Rey, but because she couldn't understand the English at the time, she was unable to provide any response.

"Block out your mother tongue," Mina Sue Choi's English secret

To boost JaeJae's English skills in a short period, style creator Mina Sue Choi stepped in. Mina Sue Choi emphasized that to become close to a foreign language, one must distance oneself from their mother tongue. "You must close your ears to Korean and think, 'I am British,'" she advised, noting that a process of distancing oneself from the native language without using it is necessary to open one's ears.

Mina Sue Choi expressed confidence that one week would be enough and added that one should start using English immediately. Following this, the two began intensive practical conversation practice by communicating solely in English.
