Comedian Kim Young-chul (51) shared news that he has left on his first language study abroad.
On Oct. 17, the YouTube channel "Kim Young-chul Original" uploaded a video titled "Kim Young-chul goes to Tokyo to learn Japanese and reveals the house he found for the first time (his first study abroad)."
In the video, Kim Young-chul is shown heading to a short-term language program in Tokyo to study Japanese conversation. He said, "I took the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N3 in July this year, but I failed. I came to Japan to try again," he said frankly. He added, "Since college I always wanted to go on a language program. I finally made my dream come true," expressing his excitement.
Kim Young-chul also revealed the accommodation where he would stay for eight nights and nine days in Tokyo. The place he found through Airbnb was compact but practical, with a kitchen and a balcony. At first he was embarrassed, saying, "It's narrower than I thought," but after discovering a bedroom hidden behind a wall he said, "If you do it like this it's spacious. I should come here for my honeymoon," wearing a satisfied expression that drew laughter.
But soon he ran into the "electronic device charging" wall. Not having brought an adapter, he wandered the streets searching for a charger and, exhausted, he complained, "The important thing is why is there no Wi-Fi. It's really strange. I'm not going to do Airbnb anymore. I just want to go back to Korea. Forget the language program and everything," which added to the laughter.
While enjoying Japanese food alone at home, Kim Young-chul said, "After I failed the test I called Sung Si-kyung. Si-kyung has N1 (the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test) and told me, 'You failed because you didn't read all the books before taking the test. There's no reason other than not studying hard.' It's annoying but I'm grateful, and I will definitely pass the December test," he vowed.
Before starting formal classes, Kim Young-chul took a placement test at a local school, fueling his academic zeal. He said, "This time I really want to live like a local," showing his passion for studying Japanese.
