lee byung hun english inteview (이병헌 영어 인터뷰)

[Eiffelyt94]

His English is real damn good for a native korean

[beyondsupreme]

the easiest language in the world is English. dirty americans

[bensalinakino]

Correction please: . . . He is also one of the most credible actors alive.

[bensalinakino]

continuation . . . . Lee Byun Hun excels not only in action films, he is also one of the most credible dramatic alive. So natural, no matter what role he plays. And now, after watching this interview in English, I just am simply amazed at his fluent command of the English language, so unusual for a Korean native like him. And I presume, he is also fluent in French, because I read somewhere that he studied French in the university. 

[bensalinakino]

It was only several days ago when I discovered Lee Byun Hun in the K-drama "Happy Together." Since then, I have considered him as one of my favorite Korean actors. I have already watched some of his other films/dramas like Joint Security Area & I Saw the Devil. I must say he truly is one of the best actors I have ever seen. His versatility is amazing. He excels not on

[Erks3000]

Wait....he's........not a native speaker??? I THOUGHT HE WAS KOREAN-AMERICAN??? HE'S FULL OUT KOREAN?!?!

*faint*

[zazzalo]

damn good english...

[ryanc519]

for someone who had learned the language for 2 years only, he spoke amazingly well.

[00pvang]

he speaks very good english.....

[nenmaroon]

one of my favorite actor!!!! soooo HOT and SEXY!!! :)

[bluebubble96]

And IRIS is the freaking best action drama ever, practically cried on the last episode.

[bluebubble96]

Sexy man...and i'm only 15 years old. HAH! He's hot though and perfect english

[MsJapaneseCherryPoP]

O_O i always thought he was hawt when my aunts,cousins & mom would look at him in movies o.o even though i was 10 years old ._. keke :D

[Torn2Bitz]

oh he is sexy

[lilacs91]

amazing english!

[lafrengerita]

perfect english..

[ethline]

His english is better than Han Ye Seul's and she was friggin born and raised in the US!

[1543202]

TEACH RAIN SOME ENGLISH

[chorbits]

For a person who did not grow up in an english-using nation, this is pretty amazing :) I just saw the original english verison of GI Joe (when I first saw it it was dubbed in Korean), and I was actually amazed at how well he could speak. Well he still has the accent, but overall, he sounds really natural.

[jjsj93]

OMG, seriously, i can't believe this. How can he speak so well with just 2 years of learning experience??? He's hot, amazing at acting, and now, amazing at languages. Jack of all trades.

[YESHUAISMERCIFUL]

great english

[GhostFreaked]

His english sounds reeallly good. Not perfect but it sounds naatural

Was he talking about I Saw the Devil ??? (cause it's amazing)

[HTC2971]

This guy's english is too good for someone who only learned it for two years. I guess he has a knack for languages

[brzy89]

@HTC2971 He probably had an easier time learning english because he had previously learnt another western language. He studied french literature in university, so he's also fluent in french.

[dustyOn3]

@HTC2971: It's something different if you are acting in the USA and learning the labguage while speaking it and learning by books... it's always easier to learn how to speak if you are learning by doing.

[lilaznman760]

i never knew he could speak english so well

[kcx]

good tone, bad grammar

[Shadowfury]

@kcx Hey, wtf? His English is decent in this English, he just has a few mispronounced words. And he's multi-lingual, don't hate.

[marchnikki]

Holy crap! He has amazing english! Did he ever live in the States?

[sqxyfay]

syet i need to finish IRIS!!!

[hawahyun]

미국식 영어를 쓰는군 난 영국식 영어가좋디

[kinishra20]

*faint* lol

[littlecutekitty]

his pronounciation is almost perfect omgoshhh..so sexy

[carisma0302]

영어 존나잘한다...부럽다..

[khaoulatity]

I love him!

[WhisperedHopes]

GOD, his english is straiiggghhttthhh

[Kp0pENGsubs]

wow~ he's english is great, despite the fact that he didn't grew up in an english speaking country, nor born in one~

[MrRandomPerson312]

The film in korea is the kdrama IRIS

[GisSlicknSmooth]

dangg, im korean and i didn't even know LBH spoke english this well.... wassup hollywood? haha he sounds like a surfer

[SaoKhuya]

He does has accent, it's American accent. :D

[angelyanggg]

wait how is his english so good.....

[thejazzfuneral]

헐리우드 진출을 오래전부터 준비해 왔구나..

젠장 잘생긴놈보단 잘해야 되는데..

[dhghgghg]

He's a sex addicted pervert.

[tiefroterkub]

His english is great! I expected to hear at least a little bit of an accent. Even a little accent would have been cute too :)

[USAeducation]

I never knew he could speak English this well. I'd give him A+ for his effort to learn English to speak that well. Jackie Chan once said, "Master English and conquer Hollywood." Watch out Hollywood! Koreans are coming!

[cheersdrinktothat]

@USAeducation You do know that Asians only get roles in action moves right? It would be nice to see an asians in a romantic move but i doubt Hollywood would let that happen.

[hoaa88]

저아저씨 제발 연예계은퇴했음좋겠다. 니보다 약20살 차이나는 캐나다애델고와서 그고생시키고 ㅅㅂ 돈많아서 ㅈ호겠다

[kamehameha30]

WOW he hardly even has an accent!

[untilfairtone]

OMG HIS ENGLISH IS SO GOOD. his accent :)

ASIAN PRIDE WOOOHOOOOO!

[ilovekhk]

omg, i have learn english for like 12 years but i cant speak like byung hun at all! gosh..

[searchlight31]

Dang he's done well with his english in a short time. Hard worker, good actor.

[1541eric]

영어하는게 ㅋㅋ 멋있네 ㅋㅋ네이티브같진않지만 ㅋㅋ

[EDEBOYZ]

y ya'll guys worry about his accent ? he didnt grown up in america, each country have different accent when they speakin english , example> australian, england, usa, canada, puerorico, south africa ,,, talk about somthing else instead,,,open ya'll brain more widerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrlyyyyyyyy

[juukeeBB]

his accent and his overall ability in utilizing English is very unbalanced. His accent is substantially better compared to his overall English speaking ability.

[roxanaphantom]

@juukeeBB OMG why r u talking about his accent XD i mean he is korean not northamerican, i bet northamericans will never be able to speak korean like korean ppl so XD

[armjoint1]

His English is good because he studies very hard. Keep in mind, he has an IQ of 155 (which is genious) and speaks several languages.

[d1dy0urm0m]

Wait...how does he speak English so well??! He has almost no accent!

[bubigurl234]

Rain..watch.....and learn xD Love you though! ;P

[LILitaly16]

he is so hot... never thought i would say that about someone how is more than 15 years older....

[TheDeehoang]

hehe he's talking about IRIS. :)

[brandonkim0925]

@TheDeehoang

IRIS is the best. i watched it. do you know when IRIS 2 comes out? i heard its coming in a few months?

[TheDeehoang]

@brandonkim0925 not sure, i know he's filming for Iron Man 2 right now so it's impossible that he's filming for Iris 2. So i'm guessing not anytime soon... LOL

[roxanaphantom]

@TheDeehoang what? lee byung hyun for iron man 2 XD but iron man 2 has already been released XD and lee byung hyun does not act in iron man XD

[TheDeehoang]

@roxanaphantom i mean G.I Joe 2 LMFAO idk why i said Iron Man, probably cuz i was watching it at school that day. LOLOLOL

[roxanaphantom]

@TheDeehoang LOL yeah i was like ok i dont remember lee in iron man XD i love him soo freaking much the only reason i watch GG.I.JOE XD

[jessicarefe96]

@TheDeehoang inst he talking about GI Joe?



[TheDeehoang]

@jessicarefe96 well yeah he's talking about GI Joe but in the end when the interviewer asked what he's working on right now, he answers that he's filming something in Korea that's "spy-action". <-- that, my friend, is IRIS.

[jessicarefe96]

@TheDeehoang ahhh...i see...

[dhksrksalem]

좀 알아들을만한 영어를 하시네 ㅋ

[bjiwijbji23]

I don't understand those who says he has no accent at all. He DOES have korean accent. Yeah, I admit his English is far better than any other Asian actors or actresses but still he has an accent. Plus I'm pretty sure you guys already figured it out that he canNOT express his thoughts technically or logically by English.

And you guys should know it; to be able to do something is different from to be good at something. There is a fair line between being able to play the piano and being good at pl

[elisei00]

한국은 바보입니다 

[loveS2sarang]

@elisei00

니보단 덜바보, 

[loveS2sarang]

@elisei00 얼마나 한국욕하셧음 계정까지해지됫을까~~ ,ㅉㅉㅉ

[SayurixxGo]

his english is really good!

[amandasjoyangel]

im so impressed.

[skyapan7]

영어 쓰시는 이병헌씨보니 너무 멋진거 같아요!!

[jediminho26]

Ajusshi you are awesomeeeeeee!!!! 

[BmyBo0]

Just got done watching IRIS and OMFG! He is a freakin AWESOME ACTOR!!! He is super talented.

[AZNmanJJ]

lollololololol, he talks like my dad when he speaks english XD, but he has a better accent XD

[goodluck0120]

His english is really amazing!! Perhaps a few grammatical errors but his pronounciation is very good for a native korean! Nearly no accent! He is really smart and talented considering that he has never studied abroad or spent a few years in an english speaking country. English is a totally different language from Korean, making it even harder for a korean to learn english. You can work hard on the vocabulary and the grammar, but for the pronounciation you need some talent.

[DashboardJay]

@goodluck0120 well-said

[daphneram13]

im impressed.. he's good in speaking english. :D

[Arielleyy]

Ohhh damnnn. He's got major skills (:

[323PS]

very very impressive indeed...his diction is quite good...i read his bio and he actually speaks other languages such as French aside from English. he also is good in expressing himself! i like him more when i saw Iris! :) thnx for sharing

[Woong247]

잘하네

한국인 스타중에 상급이군..

자랑스럽군

멋있다~~~!!!

[maligurl7]

He actually speaks good english, I LOVE IT!!!

[VladTodGirl123]

DUDE. HE'S OVER 40??!!! IMAGINE WHEN HE WAS YOUNGER O.O HOT.

[geewonkim]

Hm not bad at english xD

[salcazoid]

이병헌 영어 뭔가 조금 부족한거 같아.......

한국인 입장에서는 영어가 완벽한거 같은데, 미국인 입장에서는 미세하게 엑센트가 있다는걸 느끼지...... 엑센트가 뭔가 딱딱한 느낌이라던지.... 나도 그런 점 고치기 어려운데...... 10년 넘게 있어도 힘든데..... 오죽하면, 이병헌 한테 힘들지 않았을까? 그래도 영어 대화는 어느정도 하네.......

[riuwonx]

@salcazoid

미국에서 사는 교포가 듣기엔 저정도면 훌륭합니다. 원어민 수준의 영어를 기대한다면 너무 많은걸 바라는 거죠.

비나 보아의 영어를 들어보시면 이병헌의 영어인터뷰는 훌륭하단 걸 알수 있을겁니다.

[salcazoid]

@riuwonx 좋은 정보 알려주셔서 감사합니다......

[khoocheepeng]

so when Asian can speak English, you nuts were impressed, and when the White men only speak one English and no others, you nuts were impressed too? lol naive.

[keishak]

[Nekronatalenheten]

His English is outstanding considering that from my experiences English isn't particularly the most favorite language in East Asian countries.

[lorraineannaoj06]

[sanchirfrance]

lee byung hyun look so romantic hot

rain bi look so pretty cute

[NTSD6]

병헌씨 멋짐  ...ㅇ.ㅇ

[93johnk]

his english is great but i think its a tragedy that such a quality actor like lee byung hun is doing movies like GI Joe just to get into hollywood. lee is much higher calibre actor and the hollywood move was a bad decision.

[BBLove247]

his accent is pretty good, much better than bi but still needs improvement. he gets his point across which is enough anyway.

[kibaXfangirl14]

WOW he's great!! I freaking love LBH! So hot for his age~ <3

[iThomasPee]

Why the hell does that woman keep on looking and pointing at Lee Byung Hun?! xD

[buzzzythompson]
