Lesson 3: Basic phrases to use when you want to reply your idol’s SNS posts I usually see people replying things like “WHAT” or “TRANSLATE PLEASE” or “WRITE IN ENGLISH” on idols’ tweets. Firstly, I would like to say that they’re Koreans so obviously they would type in their native language, Korean. They are not obliged to translate or tweet in English just because you don’t understand. While the idols are trying their best to learn English, we as fans, should do the same for them as well. Although it may be a tiring and difficult process, this is one way to show that we care for them as fans!
