Good clear voiceover and easy-to-follow editing. Good job👍

This is why they are well liked domestically and internationally since they can converse in multiple ways to relate to as many fans! 👏

Honestly believe that's why blackpink took off too, having a few members of a group that can converse with the international fans really increases appeal imo

danielle: a bilingual Australian-Korean who has lived in both Korea and Australia as a kid, is comfortable switching between languages hanni: a Vietnamese-Australian who is still learning Korean, so she actively speaks in Korean and switches to English when she’s emotional or when she doesn’t know the words minji: a Korean who is interested in learning languages (English, Japanese), has lived in Canada for a few months, so she actively speaks in English as practice (kinda similar to hanni), her grammar isn’t perfect but her pronunciation is good and more importantly she isn’t afraid to make mistakes (bc practice is the best way to study any language afterall) haerin and hyein: both Korean who aren’t as fluent in English as the others but can still understand them and converse in both languages in a casual setting, haerin speaks less English bc she doesn’t talk much in general😅

I thought this was gonna be another compilation of clips of them speaking english, but turns out I was wrong. It's a very interesting topic & so well-crafted!

Minji has this really interesting stage in English learning where she can understand and say practically anything she wants but there are slight grammar flubs and vocabulary choices that are personal and endearing.

i feel like hanni sticks to korean to perfect her mastery of the language

Fr , hanni still learned to perfect her korean language..

hanni is learning korean and minji is learning english is such an interesting fact

Minji's great in Korean, English and Japanese. She even said she would've studied Linguistics in school if she continued her education. Love how endearing her English is 💕

if you listen/watch their phoning live sessions you’ll have another pool of data. hanni frequently speaks in one language (korean) then quickly translates what she says in english or vice versa because shes just really aware that they have a international audience. great video!

​@truenoae8689 I think so but there's a channel called: TikkiTokki that uploads their Phoning content with eng subs 😊

Ben, this is so well done. I hope this gets a lot of views because it's a really really interesting look into their code switching. As an ESL Tutor / Tokki this is the crossover I needed LOL

Danielle and Minji’s case are great examples of Translanguaging. It goes beyond just code-switching back and forth between languages. The intention, interplay and nuances of how they freely use these languages is what makes their self-expressions so unique. It’s sad that many English teachers discourage learners to use their first language. If you can translanguage like New Jeans, it actually shows how fluent you are!

Minji uses English to explain to Hanni a lot and also tries without embarrassment so will learn quickly but she is not fluent definitely not fluent in English, I would agree with Danielle analysis though.

such a cool concept! I've always noticed how often they speak english in their videos, but it was cool to see the data behind their english usage. keep up the great work!

haerin definitely knows english, just has a hard time speaking it i guess, in their phoning livestreams hanni/minji/danielle frequently speaks in english or reads comments in english, then haerin replies in korean or has a joke in store that she says in korean

I only got Minji and Hanni wrong but it make sense since Hanni is not only Australian but also Vietnamese so since shes not Korean she probably tries her best to speak more Korean than English, this whole video make sense and the ratings are really accurate😮❤

Hanni is a real Australian, she can't speak Vietnamese, she just has Vietnamese inside her but who cares ? I love everything about her

This was incredibly interesting and so well done. I do wonder how their code switching would differ considering a larger range of environments. For example, I think if we included their livestreams on Phoning, Hanni would probably take the top spot, as when she says something in english/korean during a livestream, she often will translate what she said into the other language. Not sure how much it would affect the data but it's an observation I had that I thought was interesting.

Hanni is an angel. She translates what she's saying most of the time so no tokkis will get behind.

hanni's entire section was sooooo funny 😂😂 as well as the "bro" section lmao

I got the rankings right except I switched Minji and Hanni. I though Minji was 3rd. I thought Hanni would use it 2nd most but less than Danielle at 1st for the reasons you gave. I assumed Hanni actively tries to speak Korean as opposed to English for learning purposes so itd be less switches than Danielle who was already fluent in both from childhood.

This was incredibly informative and super interesting. I had a feeling Haerin would be last.. considering how much of an introvert she really is. What caught my attention the most is how she listens to english then responds in Korean. while it is her native language, it’s super impressive to be able to interpret another language and respond in your own with complete coherency. She is by far the most interesting and unique member of the 5, while they all have their own charms, she’s just.. i dunno, she’s a mystery.

I have the same issue since I’m also an introvert. I can understand and read Korean very well, but I’m a naturally quiet person and I don’t have any Korean friends to speak with, so I’m not very confident in my speaking abilities. I imagine that’s probably how it is for Haerin. It seems like she can understand and read English really well, she’s just not as confident in speaking. Suga from BTS and Tzuyu from Twice are two other idols I can think of like that as well. I’m starting to think it’s just an introvert problem universally 😂

@@skyofthelivingdead totally. I'm also like that with english yet i still have the guts to major it. I have confidence in my english when it's written and when someone talks to me using it but when it comes to me actually speaking it, i just lagged lol... so i pretty much relate to haerin than most of the other members. language barrier sucks.

Minji actually makes sense since she's like a translator plus is always trying to include the two english girls more often in conversation. In that way, she sort of has the most reason to use english since she's proficient in it. Her love of languages just makes her use and appreciation of it even higher.

This is one of the most interesting Kpop related videos i’ve ever watched.

Haerin is 100% my bias, and her quiet, thoughtful nature is a big part of why. Dani is bubbly and made of positive energy, and she's my 2nd favorite.

BRO ur editing is CRAZY GOOD- this was such a fun video and I can tell you put a lot of effort in! Idk much about NewJeans but it was interesting hearing how many times they use english.

Minji is interesting because she sometimes speaks in 3 languages, and switches between them all while speaking to fans

Science + research + NewJeans? I am HERE for it! Just got yourself a new subscriber sir 😊👍

I'm actually surprised that you found something from haerin cause she doesn't even talk much even in korean 😂 Anyway, this is a really cool and very informative video.

We need more content like this in kpop!

Super underrated video! 👏👏 You should maybe add '': Analyisis'' to the title, so people know its not just one of the 564 random meme videos of them speaking english here on youtube. I love geeky videos like this so much. Anyways, Minji being 2nd wasnt a surprise to me at all ahah, got it right. I feel like she's the one who code switches in the most ''intentional'' way, almost like she takes every opportunity and scenario to practice it. About her japanese, I heard she's going to take the N2 level exam, which is incredibly impressive seeing how that's the 2nd highest lvl of japanese proficiency and it means she has passed lvls 5, 4 and 3.

This is why i love NewJeans they're perfect for international people ❤

Quiet interesting. This should be a journal for a linguistic study. Btw, Haerin tends to copy even Korean which other members say. I think it’s her natural habit like a cat 🐈‍⬛🐈

i love how serious this is. like it’s a full fledged little research project. great video!!!

Multilingual is very interesting, gives our brains great practice which brings so many benefits health wise and career wise. I grew up in Vietnam, moved to Melbourne since young I could speak fluently my mother tongue and English and use both languages comfortably daily to communicate with friends and family, switching back and forth naturally in convos. My partner is from China which motivates me to study Mandarin so that I be able to communicate with his parents when visiting. I am very proud of you girls❤.

I noticed Haerin speaks more english in their Light Jeans vlogs probably because they're more "relaxed" kinda behind the scenes and not actually doing some challenges or having to do something for camera, like in the escape room video where the cameras aren't propped infront of her specifically. She speaks english a lot one on one with the members and probably just more comfortable like that.

I was expecting a compilation video but this was very high quality and I can tell you put a lot of work into it! You just earned yourself a new subscriber ❤

This was such an insightful and fun video! I didn't think anyone would put in the time to study NewJeans or idols code-switching at all 😂 Very cool! Haerin's style reminds me of myself speaking my native tongue. I understand more than I can speak it so I felt seen ❤ Thanks for creating this video!

Yup, that's what I noticed about these NJ super cuties also, is that they always say "BRO" a lot to each other and I found that so fresh, interesting, and adorable, which made me fall in love with them even more. Also, the fact that they all understand and speak English well makes them so much more close and relatable to us international fans, knowing that we will be able to communicate with them in English if you ever have a chance to meet them in person like in a fanmeeting/fansign event.

Seems like Hanni is deliberately making an effort to not speak English in variety show situations so as to not stick out as the foreigner while Danielle has no such hang ups since she knows she's Korean ethnically.

I personally talked to each of NJ member during a fan sign video call event. It was like one minute for each member. In fact, I can say that all of them can understand English well. It’s true that Haerin doesn’t talk much, but she became super shy when I said she is pretty. Lol! Anyways, language skills can be trained. The conversation would be more interesting if it’s in Korean though.

i'm so glad i clicked on this video. i thought it was just a compilation video but wow this was well done and really interesting. makes me think of how other groups with native english speakers code switch with their other members subbed!

I loved this and admire your dedication to spending hours on doing research! I would also be curious how this would apply to their live conversations, like in phoning lives, since there are no gaps in that sort of situation and due to the unedited format I think it would be interesting to see if the distribution would change 🤔 anyway, if you were looking for new video ideas!

I really enjoyed learning about this language code-switching with NewJeans. Not only are they all pretty, it’s clear they are very intelligent! They also work very hard to be the best they can be. Wonderful work ethic to have. They truly are so easy to relate to. I’ve always liked pop music growing up & still do. Lastly I genuinely enjoy hearing Min-ji speak Korean. Her voice really draws me in so strongly I can honestly say she makes me want to learn Korean. Thank you Ben for this excellent and informative video. I wish NewJeans great success always! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wuow, very good vid! Insightful, scientific!

lol I for sure thought first place would go to either Hanni or Danielle and in my head I picked Hanni. but maybe that's because her English "outbreaks" are so much more energetic thus more prominent and memorable...? 😆after she was revealed as 3rd, I adjusted my personal ranking and got it right. btw I feel like Minji is way better in English than it sometimes seems; "sometimes" especially meaning (English) interviews. it seems like maybe she's overthinking or something...? when they're having private convos/talking casually in any of their own formats, even over longer passages her way of speaking English comes much more naturally, while in interviews she sometimes seems to slur some grammar. I think under more comfortable circumstances she definitely almost always does it properly. 민지 화이팅! 멤버들도 화이팅! ㅋㅋㅋ
