Zamo 6,183 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I feel like if you've been a kpop fan for more than 2 years then you probably can read at least some words in Korean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GetRapper 6,139 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 There's only so many characters in Hangul, it's quite easy unlike Chinese or Japanese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimz 3,113 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I can read some characters if I'm looking at hangul but not a lot. Other than that, I have no clue what anything in Korean says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nirgil 162 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's really quite easy to learn how to read Korean, much easier than Chinese or Japanese. I would encourage any kpop fan to try studying it since it might become a useful asset for you in the future, and you are already "immersed" in the language through your hobby (even better if you also watch variety shows or dramas etc.).

FactMan 2,366 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I still don't know all the characters but I can figure them out 80% of times anyways because hangul is cool like that. I don't think Kpop fans are compelled to learn Korean by whatever reason. But if you're gonna keep being exposed to it, then why not? Makes your life much easier as well. Shooting two birds with one stone. i can read stuff like my faves' names, group names, basic greetings but my ass is too lazy to sit down and properly learn korean You only need to sit once to learn the basics and then you can learn as you go. For example if you learn 'ha' (하) and 'n' (ㄴ), you'll recognize 'han' (한) when you see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adda 9,200 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I cannot; I was never interested to learn. I can recognize EXO's name written in Hangul ( that's all) and I understand some words and expressions in Korean ( I've seen many k-dramas, involuntarily I've learn expressions.)

yeojin stan 79 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 i was raised on korean entertainment thanks to my grandmother who babysat me and didn't speak any english. i've literally been a fan of kpop since i was born. oddly enough, i can't speak or write my own sentences in hangeul, but i can read it and hear it. it's weird how languages work.
