While there are members who are getting better at speaking languages in variety shows, RM is probably the most fluent as he is the leader and has been studying the language the longest. I personally find it very entertaining as it reminds me of the web novel ‘My Boss is a Secretive K-Drama Freak?!!’ which is an office comedy playing with a cultural gap. There’s a cold CEO and his secret obsession with K-drama tropes creates funny misunderstandings with his assistant.

Honestly, I love how Jimin sounds in English. He may not be the best but his efforts are just so adorable! RM is the clear winner in English (his UN speeches are just legendary) but I also really love how Jimin gives shy cheer speeches in English. Jin also brings so much joy as he attempts to make Dad jokes in English and fails at them, making a face and saying how bad they are. As for the others, V’s random English phrases like ‘It’s tattoo!’ will always live in the meme’s that I create, and Suga’s dry humors in broken English like ‘I’m fine, thank you, and you?’ are just so priceless to me. V’s also super improved in English because his cover of ‘Falling’ by Harry Styles had perfect pronunciation!

V’s random English phrases (“It’s tattoo!”) and Suga’s hilarious attempts to speak in broken English (“I’m fine, thank you, and you?”) always make me laugh. J-Hope’s “Lachimolala” moments are also super entertaining, even though they aren’t in English. If I had to grade the members on their English speaking skills, then RM would be the clear winner. But I think the others’ attempts to speak in English add to the comedic moments that happen during interactions with fans. He has a completely different brain than the others and is always able to smoothly drop entire verses of songs in English, such as “Change” with Wale.

Out of the members, I think RM speaks the best English. He has learned to speak English on his own through TV shows like ‘Friends’ and it’s really impressive how far he has come. Suga and Jin have also improved so much in their speaking of English as well but RM is still way ahead. His vocabulary, pronunciation, etc. are all naturally great. He even sometimes translates for the other members in foreign countries and it’s really cute how he tries to find the best words to say. It’s also really impressive how RM can speak in Korean one second and then switch to English the next. I wish I could pick up a language as fast as he does. He also shows a lot of understanding of the lyrics of English songs in his own solo work, such as ‘Indigo’.

This is not to say that the others haven’t gotten so much better with their English too! Jungkook has been practicing a lot lately and you can even see it in his live streams and Weverse posts. Although RM is the undisputed English king of BTS (giving a speech at the UN and all), V is probably next in line with his lots of adorable English attempts such as ‘I purple you’. How RM managed to develop such amazing and complex English skills without even being formally taught is really incredible and shows how much he must love it, as well as how much he must have learned from binge watching lots of sitcoms.

RM is by far the best at English in BTS. The rapper has translated for the group in several interviews and even wrote the lyrics to "Bicycle" and "Closer" in English. When he's not creating, he acts as the group's translator. Of course, the other members also have their moments with English - Jungkook is known to sing English covers, Suga occasionally speaks in English to sarcastically comment on a situation and even joked about how he made "Money" in an interview, and Jin even hit the high notes in his song "Epiphany" in English. But RM's discussions on art, philosophy, and politics in English far exceed the other members'. Even the playful gibberish that V speaks in English, such as "I'm hungry... hamburger," can't compare to RM's in-depth interviews with western media. J-Hope even had fun with English in "Chicken Noodle Soup," but he couldn't pull off a whole podcast in English without errors.

I really hope they don’t feel pressured to measure up in these comparisons though. They are performers and artists first, and students of the English language a secondary talent – something they do in addition to making awesome music and performances in Korean, of course. That they do offer this though as freely as they do is more than enough for me to be grateful for.
