maidoan97 743 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 I attended both days of the concert, and I was so confused when they spoke in Chinese. Ofc I'm not expecting them to speak fluent Japanese or sth, but Victoria even said hello bla bla in Chinese and didn't even bother to say "konnichiwa". Did they work in China for so long that their Korean skill became rusty, or was it a political problem? Maybe I can excuse Lay since I know he's not exactly comfortable with Korean yet, but Victoria has been in Korea for so long. During my days as a MeU I never saw her having problems with Korean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swagger 10,332 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 It's nothing new. They always greet fans in chinese even tho not in china. A lot of foreigners come to smtown. Especially Chinese. So im sure they wanna give them a greeting in chinese so they feel more welcome and understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So im sure they wanna give them a greeting in chinese so they feel more welcome and understand I thought of that, but I'm more curious about Victoria who didn't speak a single word of Japanese for both days, not even hello. For Lay he did attempt to so I can excuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was nervous or sth I also found a video in which Victoria introduced herself in japanese, lol girl. Also, I don't know what difference it makes if they talk in chinese or korean since majority of the japanese fans understand neither of these languages. And there's a translator who translates for the audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neural Network 834 Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 You should have made some big ass banner with "rá»i f (x), bạn con Ä‘iếm chó" written on it and wave it in front of Victoria. Maybe that would have satisfied you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that would have satisfied you Ok, I disliked her because of that incident, but for this thread I had a memory mistake and was just genuinely asking a question. Don't you drag my nationality here. Thanks for that Google Translate attemptI'm not the type to hate on her and bash her everywhere I go. After what happened I was disappointed, but I only decided to stop supporting her as a fan, not cursing her everywhere I go. And I realized I made a mistake and apologized. I'm not an anti-fan. If somehow my words make you think that way then I'm sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
