On Nov 28, a post titled ŌĆ£GOT7ŌĆÖs overseas fansŌĆ” I thought they were KoreansŌĆØ started to go viral on online communities. In the post, several tweets written by GOT7 fans were screen-captured. One K-netizen wrote, ŌĆ£AhŌĆ” Why are GOT7 overseas fans so good in Korea?ŌĆØ Soon, fans gathered and started to complain in Korea. One wrote, ŌĆ£We had no other choice. JYPŌĆÖs Division 2 is just useless.ŌĆØ Another fan wholeheartedly agreed with the post and added, ŌĆ£JYP donŌĆÖt include subtitles. So we had to learn Korean.ŌĆØ Then one fan from Russia appeared. Her post has certainly shocked K-netizens with her perfect Korean, even using slang and newly-coined words. ŌĆ£Agreed. There are no subtitles, no proper translation. They were like s***, so I learned Korean hoping to help other overseas fans. But in a way, IŌĆÖm grateful. If it wasnŌĆÖt for these ŌĆśdamn JYP (slang word),ŌĆÖ I wonŌĆÖt be able to speak 3 languages, edit videos, and enter Sky University (top 3 colleges in Korea).ŌĆØ This tweet was retweeted more than 2,300 times, drawing enthusiastic responses. The writer showed surprise about the hot reactions and wrote, ŌĆ£Why is everyone so surprised? IŌĆÖm Russian.ŌĆØ Here are some of the comments: ŌĆ£How long did JYP skip on subtitles? Some of them speak better than some Koreans.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£I guess it was easier for them to learn Korean than for JYPŌĆÖs Division 2 to learn English.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£JYP, reflect on yourself.ŌĆØ ŌĆ£OMG. These tweets are sad and funny at the same time.ŌĆØ Source (1)
