Language Masters: Multilingual K-pop Idols

2. Amber
This K-pop idol is so much more than just her beautiful looks. Amber's parents are from Taiwan and she grew up in California, so she was raised to know both Chinese and English. Since she became a K-pop idol, her Korean and Japanese have also shown incredible progress.
3. Lisa
The amazing Thai K-pop idol speaks four languages and continues to improve in all of them. She can speak Thai, English, Japanese, and Korean all quite fluently.

The silly idol from EXID is not only amazing as an idol and performer but also as a multilingual idol. What makes her special is that she learned to speak Chinese in the 6 months she spent studying abroad which is a relatively short time to learn a language.
