“I love you all so much, but please don’t ask me to speak English. You should try learning Korean instead. I study English at my own pace, too, ok? I want to speak English and Spanish too. I want to do everything, but I can’t, so stop asking. Six seven. I can’t even speak Korean that well, and I’m Korean.”
— Jungkook

“Suddenly, there are more comments in Korean. That’s funny. This is good. Korean is really amazing. There is nothing you can’t express in Korean. The only language where you can express all your emotions is Korean. Korean is really great.”
— Jungkook
K-Netizens agreed with Jungkook and were glad he stood up for himself.
- “People with English as their native language are so rude.”
- “Weverse has a paid service for translations, so just use that.”
- “I’ve suddenly garnered interest towards Jungkook.”
- “He’s spitting facts.”
- “Korean people learn Japanese if they like Japanese animation, and learn Chinese if they like Chinese dramas. Why can’t they do that?”
- “Who are they to tell a Korean idol to learn English?”
- “They need to stop complaining to the idol and just learn Korean.”
- “He is so nice while being firm about it. I’ve gained more interest in him because of this.”
- “So refreshing for him to mention this directly.”
