The New York University student and multifandom K-pop enthusiast has been teaching herself Korean for years via free online resources she plans to take Korean as her foreign language elective. 'Namjoon's dad jokes are really hard to get if you don't speak Korean, but once you do, they're so stupidly funny,' 20-year-old Hannah Smith says. While music often transcends language, jokes may not. After all, there are nuances that don't always translate well. It's a sentiment a lot of K-pop fans share. Now, she meets with a private tutor once or twice a week and she's able to understand 'most of what BTS tweets without having to wait for translating accounts to do it, which is an awesome feeling.' She says, 'Just being able to connect with them without having to rely so much on outside resources like subtitles or translations has been really beneficial.'

'I wanted to better understand them through their language and also through their culture,' she says. 22-year-old media studies student Lissete Vega started learning Korean in 2015 because she wanted to sing along with her favorite SHINee songs. 'So I pledged to myself that I would learn Korean so that I could help international fans of these girl groups have translations for social media posts and V Lives.' She's still working toward that goal ('I'm so close!' she says), but she did join a Weki Meki fan account to help organize global streaming parties.ДЇor most, the desire to learn Korean stems from something as simple as wanting to connect with idols on a deeper level. 'Smaller girl groups don't get any translations because there's not a big demand for them,' she says. 20-year-old fan Nico, from Ohio, became so frustrated by the lack of translated content available for one of her favorite girl groups, Weki Meki, that she took matters into her own hands. Depending on the company's internal resources, as well as the size of the unit's global following, subtitles and translations can take days to weeks to months to be added, if at all.ДЄnd international fans know just how agonizing waiting for subtitles can be. A group can produce hundreds of hours of interviews, livestreams, performances, digital programming, and more during a single promotional cycle. While understanding Korean isn't a requirement to take part in K-pop standom, it can enrich the experience. 'I was going to tell Seungmin that I liked his voice, but he smiled at me and my brain short-circuited,' she says. And when she met Stray Kids earlier this year at a fan engagement on their District 9: Unlock tour, she was able to tell youngest member I.N, 'н–‰ліµн•м„ёмљ”,' or, 'I wish you happiness.' 'I've left a couple of comments in Korean on Lee Know's Instagram posts,' she says, his poster one of many crowding the bedroom wall behind her.

Juggling a full course load with teaching herself Korean grammar hasn't been easy, but she revels in the small victories. (The hashtag '#л¦¬л…ёлЉ”кё°м—¬м–ґ,' which roughly translates to '#LeeKnowIsCute,' connects her to thousands of posts from fans around the world who use it too.) She admits that the process has been slow.

Three years later, the 21-year-old can read Korean phonetically and knows the basics: how to introduce herself how to count to 10 and how to read and pronounce the go-to Instagram hashtag of her ultimate bias, as favored idols are known in the K-pop fandom, Lee Know. 'I probably could have learned it in a week if I had had more time,' she tells MTV News over a video call from her bedroom in Michigan. Amid a busy college semester, it took the geology major a month to master all 24 letters. 'м •кµ,' she'd scribble on the page, burning the distinct vowels and consonants of BTS member Jung Kook's name into memory. You might remember him as the guy in the bright yellow suit in Psy's viral hit 'Gangnam Style.When Laura Krupp started learning the Korean alphabet, or Hangul, she'd practice memorizing the characters by doodling the names of her favorite K-pop idols in the margins of her notebook.
