…Say what?
Originally from the states, Nicole’s “broken Korean” has become so notorious and loved that it’s even earned her a hilarious position on popular quiz show “KBS Star Golden Bell.” Well, the ever-smiley Nicole of popular girl group KARA recently appeared on “Star English,” a show onEBS English, to showcase her natural English ability.
When asked about their current “sexy image,” Nicole states that they’re “not sexy,” but simply trying to show that they’re becoming women as well. On being a singer, she states that she’s never considered herself a great singer and that she “likes dancing more than singing.” In fact, if kpop didn’t work out, she predicts that she would’ve attended the legendary arts school Juilliard as a dance or violin major. She also revealed that she was inspired to become a korean singer from the famous annual Hollywood Bowl festival and, for her audition, she sang Black Eyed Peas‘ hit “My Humps.” Interesting choice.
Perhaps it’s because the host was switching back and forth form Korean to English (speaking Konglish) but it seems like Nicole’s English has naturally began to falter. She was commonly stuttering, searching for the right words and using broken grammar. Once again, it could just be the host’s confusing Konglish. And, as shown from the screenshot, the producers can’t seem to get any sufficient English translators..
