1
Oh sh- I'm a K-pop idol!
2
I'm here to debunk all of your K-pop assumptions.
3
BOO!
4
Ah...
5
I've asked you guys for some assumptions you have about K-pop.
6
I assume you have a lot.
7
And I'm here to answer them, because I'm one of the few who is actually allowed to exercise free speech.
8
Most of the time.
9
So here in front of me, I have some labels I made with post-it notes and utensils.
10
Because we're on a budget here, okay?
11
I'm gonna read out an assumption and it can either be true, false, somewhat, is yellow, and maybe...
12
which means I don't know.
13
Let's get started with your assumptions.
14
I went to Baskin Robbins.
15
Wait.
16
It goes right back.
17
I've been seeing a lot of these basket-robin ice cream cakes and I thought it would be cool for the video.
18
If we try them together, definitely for the video.
19
Here's a spoon.
20
What occasion is this for?
21
I don't know.
22
I just wanted ice cream cake, but here.
23
Cheers to- Cheers to still being alive.
24
Woo!
25
Okay, and I guess I'm gonna taste test these as I answer your assumptions.
26
First assumption.
27
I've wondered how much Kpop idols' personalities are tailored for the camera.
28
I've always assumed pretty much anything on camera isn't really what idols are like.
29
This is somewhat true.
30
But you can't even see it.
31
Sometimes we have to fake it for the camera because if we don't fake it, then it's just gonna be boring and no one wants boring content.
32
So our personalities, I don't think it's necessarily fake.
33
It is a lot of times exaggerated because that's also part of the job.
34
The main job of an idol is to entertain and if you're boring like me, I'm a boring person.
35
So whenever I'm in front of the camera, I'm gonna exaggerate and uh try to entertain because that's my job.
36
I wouldn't necessarily say it's 100% fake because it's still a part of us but it is definitely exaggerated.
37
The thing with Korean Baskin Robbins is that they have a very strange name for ice creams.
38
This one is called Oman and Wagein.
39
My mom is an alien.
40
Mmm, it's just chocolate.
41
Idols have fake account to track fans.
42
This one's true.
43
Story time!
44
So my mom is chronically online.
45
She would send me news, fan posts, literally anything.
46
And back then to see Twitter posts, you need a Twitter account, an ex account.
47
And I never used Twitter, I'm not an ex-person.
48
But to see these fan posts that my mom shared, I needed to make an account.
49
So I made a fake account.
50
It was called Jigglypuff, uh, number, number, numbers.
51
I don't know why it's Jigglypuff.
52
I just like Jigglypuff.
53
And I was looking at these fan pages my mom sent me.
54
There were a lot of my photos, which were really pretty, and I was really thankful.
55
I never interacted with them, never hit like.
56
I just looked at my own posts, looked at my own face.
57
Now, the only one following my account was my mom.
58
One day, someone found that account, figured it was me, and started spreading rumors that I was having these relationships with certain fans.
59
And I was like, bro, whoa, whoa, hold on.
60
So I deactivated the account.
61
My manager came to me and he was like, is this your account?
62
And I was like, uh, yeah. So that happened.
63
And that was the last Twitter account that I ever had.
64
So now whenever my mom sends me a post, I just tell her, just screenshot it and she sent it to me.
65
Also, in this day and age, everyone uses social media.
66
I feel like we would all have secret accounts.
67
The only thing I do with my private account is I follow mean content.
68
Meme.
69
Meme.
70
Brain rock.
71
Brain rock.
72
Meme.
73
Get some help.
74
Anyways.
75
Bro, this one is melting.
76
What is this one?
77
This one is, um, 이상한 나라의 솜사탕.
78
A weird country's cotton candy.
79
That's what this is called.
80
Mmm!
81
Is it true that each group only gets paid like six to eight dollars or something dollars when you go on stage, you promote your songs, and you have to split it between members?
82
Music, shows, and broadcasts, they do pay you, but in most cases, it's not a lot of money.
83
I don't think any idol is expecting money to come from music shows, because you're not there to make money, you're there to promote your music.
84
Is it split among the members?
85
It depends on your contract, but if you haven't renewed your contract, most of the time it would be split equally.
86
But before that, a lot of times you would also have to pay death to the company.
87
Next mo- oh yeah, oh wow, everything's melting.
88
Wait, this one is um, rainbow sherbet.
89
Oh st, oh.
90
Do idols do those weird fan calls in front of staff?
91
Are they told to act in a certain way during those if staff is present?
92
This one's false.
93
So here's how it works.
94
Most of the time The fan calls you see, they're not actually done by the company.
95
They're done by a third-party service, which specializes in fan calls.
96
So the staffs you interact with, they're not going to be your company staff.
97
They're going to be staff that you just met.
98
Their job is to monitor the calls.
99
A lot of them are really good at languages, so they can translate global calls.
100
And the staff, they would not force you to act as a certain way.
101
Unless your company is like, okay, let's smile more or like be more friendly to the fans. That, maybe.
102
Maybe the company would say that.
103
But the staffs who monitor our calls, if we feel uncomfortable with something, They would inform the fans to move on to another question.
104
So yeah, in most cases, they're actually helping us more than controlling what we have to do.
105
Do idols watch the edits fans made?
106
I do.
107
My mom sends me a lot of our group's edits.
108
She sends me other groups edits.
109
She just sends me every edit.
110
But I assume that a lot of us do. Do we enjoy it?
111
That's a different story.
112
This one is New York cheesecake.
113
Itadakimasu.
114
Today's video is sponsored by Seily.
115
Imagine this, you just landed at your travel destination, you get off the plane only to realize that you have no internet and you can't make calls.
116
You can't use a map, you can't call an Uber, or message your loved ones to let them know you've arrived safely.
117
Now you have to stand in line for a pricey local sim card after a long flight.
118
Well with Seily, you could get affordable eSIM data plans in over 200 destinations with just one download.
119
I've been using Sailly every time I travel now and it has made my trips so much easier.
120
To use it, just download the Sailly app, create an account, choose the destination you're traveling to, purchase a plan, and voila!
121
You now have an eSIM ready to activate for your trip.
122
What's even more convenient is that once a Sailly eSIM is installed, you don't need to install a new eSIM every time you travel to another country.
123
It literally took me less than two minutes to get this set up
124
while I was sitting right in front of my airport gate.
125
Sailly is also packed with extra benefits like data saving features, privacy protection, 24-7 support and even offer a full refund if the plan isn't right for you.
126
No more buying physical SIM cards you're probably gonna lose, or calling your phone service ahead of time to activate expensive roaming plans.
127
You can now get 15% off your data plan by using code PRINCEVITANI at checkout, or by scanning the QR code on screen right now.
128
If you're planning to travel soon, definitely check it out, you won't regret it.
129
Once again, that's 15% off using code PRINCEVITANI, or by scanning the QR code right now.
130
Thank you, Saylee, for sponsoring this video.
131
Are K-Pop idols actually close with their members? like they show on screen where it's just for camera
132
and they treat each other as co-workers.
133
This, I think this is so much.
134
This is really case by case.
135
In general, I do think that it's a complicated dynamic to have.
136
A lot of times you like the members, everything's fine, that's cool.
137
But of course, you can also hate your members.
138
But I do think that you can never really just be co-workers because you live with each other for what, 10 years?
139
You go through all this training, you go through all of this trauma together.
140
I would assume that even
141
if you don't like each There would be a space of mutual understanding
142
that would make you kind of more than co-workers Even if they're at each other's throats.
143
But I think this is really case by case.
144
Oh my god. That one's disgusting.
145
Do you google yourself all the time or is it just something I would do if I was a kpop?
146
I hope.
147
That's a maybe.
148
I personally don't search myself up online because there's nothing to search.
149
But I would assume that a lot of people google themselves.
150
Wait, this one's mint chocolate chip.
151
mint chocolate oh my god what is that?
152
what is that? shooting star uh uh
153
that's not the best oh pop rocks
154
part of me wonders
155
if idols from different groups go to the gym together like it makes sense in my head
156
but i don't know if that's actually gonna happen
157
story time! the most interaction i had with celebrities outside of a workplace place is at the gym.
158
There's this gym exclusively for people in this industry.
159
And I think you can only get in through relations.
160
And a lot of times, idols and actors would go to that gym to get personal training
161
and sometimes personal training times would collide
162
so I don't know I might be booked for 2 p.m and someone else is booked for 3.
163
At first you just say hi
164
but as you meet them more often you kind of start
165
doing more interactions like I don't know give a thumbs up
166
and then those become small talk and
167
that is where I interacted most with people in the industry and it always just stayed a small talk.
168
I never actually made a friend from the gym but I assume that many people do.
169
Berry Berry Strawberry.
170
When an idol goes out on date with someone, does that person have to sign a confidentiality agreement?
171
I think this is false.
172
But also I wouldn't know.
173
You know, maybe this could happen but I think it's false.
174
Because I feel like with NDAs, NDA is a very business thing.
175
It's like companies would probably make people sign NDAs.
176
But with dating, I don't think idols would want their company to be involved with who they date.
177
Unless you're like really big, then it kind of makes sense to have NDAs.
178
Also, I think idols are very careful with dating, so they wouldn't just go on dates with someone they can't really trust.
179
This one is, um, Amon Du Pung Pung Imida.
180
Oh sh- Mmm.
181
K-pop ending fairy is a hostage situation.
182
Most idols find it cringy to pant heavily and wink in front of the camera.
183
False.
184
Ending fairies are not a hostage situation.
185
I think you just do it.
186
Like, you don't really think about it.
187
If the camera picks up on you, you just do it.
188
And if you want to wink, you want to wink.
189
It might be cringey in the moment, but like five minutes later, I don't even think anyone cares.
190
Or is that just me?
191
The music show actually picks who gets to be Ending Fairies.
192
So when you get picked, it's actually a compliment.
193
It's like, oh, the music show likes you.
194
I don't think any of us would have strong opinions about Ending Fairies.
195
It's just you just do it.
196
Oh, damn, this is actually chocolate.
197
Hmm.
198
Every kpop idol has their favorite thirst trap of themselves.
199
False.
200
I don't have a thirst trap.
201
Make me some thirst trap edits.
202
Wait, now that I think about it, don't.
203
Are the little people and Koreans in general really judgmental of foreigners?
204
Are Koreans racist?
205
In my personal experience, this is a false.
206
Koreans have always treated me pretty nicely. of the time.
207
But I think I'm like a special case because one, I do K-pop.
208
You know, no one really looks down on K-pop.
209
And two, I don't look and sound that different.
210
I speak Korean pretty well.
211
It's not apparent that I'm foreign.
212
And also there's a lot of foreigners in Korea, I think.
213
Whenever I go outside, I always meet foreigners, including myself.
214
I mean, yeah.
215
How is media training like?
216
Is there a test?
217
So media training is going to be different for different companies.
218
With my company, we had media training classes in English because everyone kind of made sense in Korean.
219
But when we speak English, we don't know the culture.
220
We're not from abroad.
221
So we We kinda need to be more educated in those cultures.
222
They just kinda brief you on what you should say, what topics to avoid, how you avoid them, those kind of things.
223
And then at the end of these classes, they would test us and they would give us a lot of questions
224
and we just answer them like we're in an interview.
225
But like there's difficulties to these questions.
226
And as one of the main English speakers in our group, I was asked questions about the economy, about the political state of the world.
227
The political and economic state of the world right now?
228
You know what it felt like?
229
Like, I was preparing for a pageant.
230
I was trying to be Miss Universe.
231
I was like, hi!
232
I think idols read and write fanfictions of themselves, especially if they have a crush on another idol.
233
Bro, that's false.
234
Can you imagine a news pops up and it just says, your favorite idol is caught writing fanfics about him and another idol.
235
That's kind of weird, man.
236
I don't think idols read their fanfics unless it's for fun and giggles.
237
Maybe you would want to read your fanfics once in a while.
238
But also, if you're not an English speaker, I don't think they even know what Wattpad is. So... Would they write fanfics?
239
Is that even a question?
240
K-pop idols drop their cakes on purpose because they taste like crap.
241
Mmm.
242
A lot of times, the cakes that are provided in our lives, they're presents from fans.
243
Or like our company just bought it for us.
244
So I think when they actually drop it, they're not purposely dropping it.
245
Because if someone's purposely dropping cakes sent from fans, I think that's pretty problematic.
246
Four of these is 164 calories.
247
I had 12 of these, which is three more, so it's...
248
192 calories, okay.
249
We still have some space.
250
Do you guys actually shower together when there's not much time left?
251
This is really true.
252
I mean, not anymore.
253
I'm living alone right now.
254
When we used to live in a dorm, there's only two bathrooms and there's seven of us. And...
255
And waiting can just be a waste of time.
256
People just use the same bathroom.
257
And actually a culture shock that I had were that Koreans were very comfortable being naked around each other.
258
Back at home, I've never seen my family naked.
259
I've never seen anyone naked.
260
There's no public baths, there's no spas.
261
But in Korea that's different.
262
Like people just love getting naked.
263
So it took me a while to actually adjust myself and actually start...
264
...being naked in front of my members.
265
Do idols have secret discord accounts to play with discord bots based on kpop?
266
Okay, I don't know what discord bots are, but discord accounts?
267
Story time!
268
So the only game I play is League of Legends.
269
Sometimes my friend would be like, hey, we need to play to fill our lobby.
270
And I'd be like, okay, sure, I'll fill.
271
So I get into the discord call and I'll be like, oh, Annyeonghaseyo username.
272
His username might be Jigglypuff, so I'll be like, oh, Annyeonghaseyo Jigglypuff name.
273
Jalehbushishyo, fighting!
274
And over the game, you kind of bond with each other, you know?
275
So we're making jokes.
276
We're like, hey, Mr. Jigglypuff, I need some help.
277
Where are you?
278
Hey, Mr. Jigglypuff, stop dying.
279
Later on, I asked my friend who Mr. Jigglypuff was. And turns out...
280
And I made a fool of myself.
281
So lesson learned, whenever I get into a Discord call, I would ask my friend what I'm getting into.
282
Who are we getting into?
283
So the most interaction I ever had with people in the industry was either at the gym or in Discord lobbies.
284
Everything is melting.
285
There's no saving this ice cream.
286
I have to eat the whole thing.
287
I don't think some of the idol ages are the real ages.
288
Is there something like lying about their ages or am I paranoid?
289
Wait, let me think.
290
You can't even read these, man.
291
Okay, maybe, but I don't personally know anyone who lied about their ages.
292
But like, it doesn't make sense, you know?
293
It makes sense.
294
Some idols don't like their concepts slash songs, but just deal with it.
295
Basically, like any job.
296
That's true.
297
I don't think you have to like a song to perform it.
298
You just perform it.
299
I used to think K-pop idols never farted, but then I hear squeaks so they probably do fart, but I refuse to believe that.
300
I think that all K-pop idols have groups to talk to each other about the most random things
301
and stuff that no one asked like randomly at 2am.
302
Guys, I just exploded the toilet and I don't have toilet paper.
303
Anyways.
304
I refuse to believe K-pop idols don't date.
305
Like what do you mean you're such fine and also surrounded by fine and you don't date?
306
Imagine the most pretty popular people in your school.
307
with other pretty people from other schools
308
and they're young they want to experience life what's gonna happen? there's gonna be people who wants to date
309
and people who that's not their priority right now I would assume
310
that having good-looking people around would increase his chances of something happening you know
311
but that's my assumption you know what do I know what
312
do I know? living in South Korea automatically makes you feel ugly Uh, this personally is false.
313
Probably because I'm not ugly.
314
In media, people are really good looking.
315
When you go out in the streets, most people look pretty normal.
316
I suppose Paito's life is much easier than is shown in social media and they have plenty of free time between comebacks.
317
Uh...
318
I think this is case by case.
319
In my case, we don't have comebacks, we're not touring.
320
So I have a lot of free time.
321
Hence, I'm doing this.
322
but when someone's busy they're really busy
323
but I'm doing this this is my life now right I
324
can't even eat this anymore it's oh oh god the sun has set I should probably go sorry
325
if I didn't get to your assumptions there were a lot of assumptions on fanfics
326
which is sus on your part what what are you guys
327
reading like now I'm interested send me some fanfics I don't don't send me fanfics One last thing before I go, let's play Two Truths and a Lie!

Cose che imparerai
Questo video è una fantastica occasione per esercitare due abilità cruciali: la comprensione del linguaggio colloquiale (con espressioni come "Oh sh-" o "BOO!") e la capacità di seguire un discorso spontaneo, con cambi di argomento veloci (dalle assunzioni sui K-pop all'ice cream cake). Inoltre, imparerai a identificare le sfumature tra "vero" e "falso" in un contesto conversazionale, utile per le tue interazioni in inglese.
Ascolta questi suoni
Nella conversazione, noterai diversi esempi di connected speech (linguaggio connesso). Ad esempio, "I'm a K-pop idol" diventa quasi "I'ma K-pop idol" per il legame tra "I'm" e "a". Inoltre, "gonna" (contrazione di "going to") e "wanna" (di "want to") sono reduction tipiche del parlato informale. Ascolta anche come "Baskin Robbins" viene pronunciato velocemente, con l'accento su "Baskin" e una leggera riduzione di "Robbins" a "Robbins" (senza enfasi eccessiva).
Parla come un madrelingua
Per imitare il ritmo e l'accento dello speaker, fai attenzione a due cose: l'enfasi sulle parole chiave (come "exaggerated", "fake account" o "Jigglypuff") e la pausa per gli effetti comici (ad esempio, dopo "Because we're on a budget here, okay?"). Usa la tecnica del shadow speak: ascolta una frase, pausa e ripetila immediatamente, cercando di copiare il tono e la velocità. Un shadowing site può aiutarti a esercitarti, ma anche ripetere il video a lungo può migliorare la tua pronuncia inglese. Ricorda: il segreto è la shadowspeak, cioè imitare non solo le parole, ma anche l'intonazione e le pause. Prova con la frase: "It's still a part of us but it is definitely exaggerated" – metti l'accento su "still" e "definitely" per rendere il senso più chiaro!
Con questi esercizi, non solo migliorerai la tua pronuncia, ma anche la capacità di comunicare in modo naturale, come gli idoli K-pop nel video! 🎤

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
