K-Pop Star Tsuki Reveals Intense Korean Language Study Method

K-pop girl group Billie member Tsuki shared that she cut off contact with her parents to focus on learning Korean.

On the October 6th episode of MBC's variety show 'I Live Alone', Tsuki, who has been living in Korea for 10 years, was featured as the fourth guest in the 'Horse Riding' special.

Tsuki woke up in her pink princess-themed room, contrasting with her living room, which was entirely black. She explained that she doesn't like sunlight much and feels more comfortable seeing black.

Upon waking, Tsuki turned on the TV and started walking on her treadmill. She chose to watch the movie 'No Choice' with Korean subtitles. Whenever she encountered unfamiliar words, she paused the movie to look them up on her phone, demonstrating her dedication to learning Korean.

Tsuki, who first came to Korea at the age of 12, described her language learning method: "When I first arrived, I cut off contact with my parents for about six months. I thought I shouldn't speak Japanese, so I didn't contact them. I memorized 30 words a day and took weekly tests."

She added, "After doing that, I was able to have daily conversations in Korean after six months, and that's when I contacted my parents again." Hearing this, Code Kunst humorously remarked, "That's probably why Hyung Jae Hyun-moo is good at languages. He must have cut off contact with his parents," eliciting laughter.
