-Whoa... His pronunciation is great. Most importantly, he's really good with the distinctive Korean tone...

-That is unbelievable... He just memorized all his lines because he couldn't speak Korean.

-It's so natural that I thought it was dubbed at first...

-His pronunciation is even better than Korean's...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Whoa... His intonation, pronunciation, and rhythm are all perfect...

-I can't believe he did all that just by memorizing the lines...

-How could he sound that amazing? His pronunciation, intonation, and face are all flawless...

-Now that's what you call talent...

-He's got a great pronunciation but his intonation is on a whole different levelㅋㅋㅋ

-I wouldn't know he was Japanese if I didn't read the title...

-Whoa... He really does sound natural...

-His pronunciation and intonation are on point. I hope we'll get to see him starring in a Korean drama.

-Does that even make sense? I hope he'll start learning Korean...
