Jeon Somi Impresses with Fluent English on “Street Food Biker”: “I Spoke English with My Dad Since I Was Little”
Jeon Somi is winning hearts once again, not just for her bubbly charm, but for her impressive language skills. On the April 8 episode of JTBC’s “Street Food Biker,” the singer seamlessly communicated in English with local customers in Spain, leaving both viewers and cast members in awe.
While traveling from Jerez Airport to Cádiz, Somi opened up about her multilingual upbringing, “My dad is white, so I had no choice but to speak English. Since I was little, I only spoke English with my father.”
Raised by a Dutch-Canadian father and a Korean mother, Somi developed fluency in English from an early age. On the show, she not only conversed naturally in English, but also sprinkled in Spanish phrases, creating warm and engaging interactions with locals.
A Natural Star at the Pop-Up Restaurant
Somi didn’t just bring language skills to the table, she brought her signature energy. While helping run a pop-up restaurant, she danced and playfully interacted with customers to draw them in, earning admiration from fellow cast members for her enthusiastic approach.
One particularly heartwarming moment, which is set to air in full later, features Somi receiving a playful “love confession” from a group of local Spanish children, further proving her global appeal and infectious personality.
From her cultural fluency to her natural charisma, Jeon Somi continues to shine in every environment she enters. Her appearance on “Street Food Biker” not only showcased her versatility but also offered fans a deeper glimpse into her background, and why she feels just as at home speaking English as she does Korean.
