Her English is definitely improving?

Could this be another set up? Or did Wonder Girls member, Yenny (as she is called in Engrish) really write up a post on Wondergirlsworld.com?

Yenny is the first among the members to share her thoughts on their trip to China recently. Check it out:

hi~ this is yenny!

hi guys how have u been?

i was writing on twitter, as you know there is a limit so i couldn’t write down everything i wanted to say at once, and soon i realized that i had my own blog here to talk to you guys !! smile

i just got back from china, had a great time there! we felt warm and comfortable since this was the 4th time we’ve visited beijing , regardless of the fact that we’ve forgotten lots of chinese words & expressions.. T.T

but surpringly, we could remember pretty lots of words involved in food, like “Xi gua zhe(watermelon juice)” , “kao ya(duck, the most famous dish in beijing)” etc. we considered that it’s because of human’s instinct to survive… haha

BTW, have you decided what to wear for halloween?! it will be awesome if you guys upload halloween pik for me who is going to miss it crying and being depressed the entire day.. :( haha.. i’m fine.. i will be fine… T.T

i thought i had a lot to say today but as i get sleepy, (it’s 2am here) all i’m thinking is to get in bed now.. but i promise that i’ll write again very soon, about more intriguing stories..!

have a good day! …..or night ! haha

lots of kisses & hugs

– yenny

      ITS FAKE. she’s korean .. FOREIGN ! !!! ! ! !

      • 3 ilyshBB November 3, 2009 at 7:43 am

        Just because she’s Korean doesn’t mean that she can’t write proper English.

      • 5 SuperJuniorLover6666666666 November 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm

        Just because she’s korean dosn’t mean its fake. I am korean and i speak english pretty well….

        • 6 psssh. November 6, 2009 at 6:32 pm

          The fact that she’s Korean doesn’t mean anything, but I do think there’s someone to correct her posts; a lot of foreign artists do it, even if they’re fluent, as a sort of saftey net. I mean, come on, there are a lot of nuances in a language that only comes with being in the culture long enough.

          POINT=def. proofread.

  2. 7 emjay November 2, 2009 at 6:53 pm

    agreed. loads better! :D

  4. 13 Se7enthSin November 2, 2009 at 7:11 pm

    Yenny is sooo fugly.

    • 14 HeyKoreans November 3, 2009 at 3:59 am

      AGREED. SHE IS INDEED

    • 15 ahaishsf November 3, 2009 at 7:29 am

      I don’t think she’s ugly but I can tell you have an ugly personality for saying rude things like that.

      • 16 sharpmouth November 6, 2009 at 8:53 pm

        I agree with you ahaishsf
        those people are so judgemental on how people’s look

        all they talk about is negativity about other people
        that’s to show the world how ugly their inside is
        even if they get shot and cut open
        fly and maggots won’t even eat them cz theyr soo ugly an discusting

        and if theyr Koreans .. that’s to show what really reflect their society rally well

  5. 17 woohoo November 2, 2009 at 7:11 pm

    i think its her, since she seems to be the best at speaking english out of the five.

  6. 19 hee tae November 2, 2009 at 7:16 pm

    yeah, but i doubt it’s her. :D D

  7. 24 YeEunFan November 2, 2009 at 7:31 pm

    That was really nice of her to keep the fans updated :)

  8. 28 np November 2, 2009 at 8:06 pm

  12. 34 iowes November 3, 2009 at 1:58 am

    totally scripted!

  13. 35 b3i November 3, 2009 at 3:25 am

    it’s not scripted.
    it’s written like a normal, friendly blog in YeEun’s cute english~ :)
    not surprised her english is that good cause she seems to have bonded well with americans, from what i see in pictures and she’s probably learnt alot from them
    plus she’s the best english speaker in WG

    <3 WG

  14. 36 Kandis November 3, 2009 at 5:54 am

    See….. 학원s are not a waste of money.

  15. 37 WHAT TIME IS IT? IT'S 2PM! November 3, 2009 at 5:55 am

    why do you guys think this is fake??
    it might be but how do you guys know??
    you guys shouldnt say this even if its fake cuz yennys english is improving.

    • 38 haha(: November 3, 2009 at 3:17 pm

      umm, this might be fake.
      they could have told someone who speaks/writes good english to write it for her. in her point of view.
      no one, and i mean no one could be this good in a matter of months or a year.

      • 39 YeEunFan November 3, 2009 at 3:23 pm

        They’ve had some English lessons before they came to the U.S. Also, they studied for 6 hours a day ( since they came to the U.S.) so I don’t see how it could be impossible. Her writing isn’t even perfect yet. =/

      • 40 deborah November 12, 2009 at 5:29 pm

        umm yeah ye eun can be good in matter of months or year, And why would she even get someone else to type it for her, shes already studied english for like ages.

  16. 41 annie November 3, 2009 at 7:05 am

    Fake or not at least she understand and care for her reputation to not to use improper Grammar. My best friend have her sister corrected/typed almost all her words in her blog. just so the other people won’t make fun of her. eventually she learnt and improved. So I say Kudos Yenny. sharpen your skill don’t let people make fun of “our engrish”

  17. 42 shinhbang November 3, 2009 at 7:33 am

    Ehh… She is okay for a Foreigner. The only problem that bugged me the most was CAPITALIZATION. Gosh, I mean I’m sure countries teach that around, don’t they?

  18. 43 ~♪music-to-my-ears~ November 3, 2009 at 7:42 am

    i mean…shes been in America for a while and taking hours of english classes…so i guess hard work has paid off~

  19. 44 jajaja November 3, 2009 at 7:42 am

    Wow she is sooo good…hope the promote anew song

  20. 45 coffy November 3, 2009 at 8:14 am

    You call “but surpringly, we could remember pretty lots of words involved in food…” good, proper english!? Hahahaha! Oh well, to each his own, but I guess for a foreigner it’s alright, but still laughable.

  21. 46 the human November 3, 2009 at 9:48 am

    i dont realy no wat her point is

  22. 47 Goodie. November 3, 2009 at 11:33 am

    Is this even news?

  23. 48 123grr November 3, 2009 at 12:05 pm

    Why is it so hard to believe that some non-english speakers can actually learn and eventually master the language? Anyway, fake or not, at least she cared enough to update her fans and actually made an effort to use english to reach out with her non-korean fans.

    • 49 skimfan November 3, 2009 at 5:45 pm

      She ain’t mastering nothing looking at some of those broken, confusing sentences, lol! Most of it looks about right for a beginning esl student.

      • 50 YeEunFan November 3, 2009 at 8:17 pm

        123grr said eventually. That would mean in the future, which I doubt you can read. No one said she’d already mastered the language, but she’s working on it. :)

        • 51 skimfan November 4, 2009 at 7:17 am

          You know it must be exhausting to try and defend the WGs 24/7. You’re a fan, I know, but I’m also a fan of diff. artists, but I’m not even trying to counter all the people who don’t like the ones I do.

  24. 53 Roxy_Is_Ferox November 3, 2009 at 4:21 pm

    Well, I won’t doubt whether it’s fake or not. I can relate to her since eventhough I can express myself in English, I was not as spontaneous as what I am now verbally. I still have lapses, but thru working in a Call Center I’m gettin’ the hang of English expressions, idioms, different accents, and I’m gettin’ comfortable speaking with it—-alongside American behavior. And that is what Yenny went thru. Another thing, don’t forget that JYP mentor is also fluent in English, so probably these girls were tutored by JYP.

  25. 55 vintagevampire November 3, 2009 at 7:58 pm

    I knew that for their Jonas Brothers Tour Opening Act in the States, they had English Lessons, intensive ones at that so I guess, this might be real…The very cute YeEun Engrish…

  26. 56 deadale November 3, 2009 at 8:49 pm

    did she really make that?! i never heard her speak english, the last i heard of her interview all she said was THANK YOU and HELLO..

    well, if that’s her’s… great job! pretty wonder girl..

  27. 57 Stomp November 4, 2009 at 4:55 am

    Like others have said,

    IT’S A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE

  28. 58 woo November 4, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    if this is true – then i must say she has good english grammar.
    but if not – not good for her.

    hmm.
    i think i have the answer why people keep on saying that this is fake.

    *based on wikipedia.com, korea is the 4th country from the bottom whose people could speak english.
    basically, it explains that koreans could “hardly” speak the universal language (just making my conclusion based on the site). so it’s really surprising for people to see
    a korean who could speak english fluently. if they really could, i’m sure they have undergone a rigorous training or practice or whatevr u wanna call it.

  29. 59 chiara November 4, 2009 at 8:20 pm

    I’ll just believe if she’s in an interview and speak in english language..with no umms. Writings just don’t prove it because we don’t know that sopmeone is just editting her english. But we don’t really know if she improved her english but if she speaks english long in a long interview with her then I’ll believe she improved her English. I think she improve but not that great on the post above.

  30. 60 phililen3 November 5, 2009 at 12:12 am

    can someone scream fake? FAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but nice to know that they are having a great time…

  31. 61 yuli November 5, 2009 at 7:52 pm

    its great, we’ll have good conversation. ahe :)

  32. 62 mari November 6, 2009 at 5:04 am

    perhaps they could try to use google translate?
    type in korean… translate to english lol..
    (*at least it works for me :P )

  33. 63 CRAZTCINDAYE November 7, 2009 at 7:24 pm

    i find that yenny improved a lot when she speaks and write
    plus she was known for studying the best out of the group and she always ace at school so there is no suprise

  34. 64 bellay05 November 21, 2009 at 10:07 pm

    question is, is she really the one who wrote that?
