Skinship? S-Line? What do foreigners think of 'Korean style English'?

Remember seeing the word "SNS" for the first time and asking yourself what that means? For those who are familiar with the Korean language, one may notice that there are many Korean words that sound like English words; these are usually called loan words or Konglish. However, there are also English words that have a totally different meaning from what they sound like.


A video was recently created by 'Asian Boss' on what foreigners think of "Korean style English." Pretty much, the interviewer spits out these English words to non-Koreans and asks them to guess what the words may mean. "S-Line" anyone? How about "skinship"? 


Watch the video to see some of the confused and entertaining reactions, and test your own Korean skills to see if you can recognize all the words from the interviewer.
