I will say it is funny how many times I've seen clips of Felix and Chan speaking english but because of their accents or maybe the use of aussie slang, people will misinterpret or essentially mistranslate what they were saying, I've made posts about it before because /typically/ it's pretty funny but also. If english speakers frequently listen to two australian guys and manage to incorrectly quote them, shouldn't that be a lesson to all of us that things like fan translations and auto translation tools like google translate should be taken with a grain of salt, and while very helpful, it doesn't mean they're always accurate !

#like its just wild to me seeing people who cannot speak korean #using an auto translate tool and then getting angry at an idol for saying something 'bad' or whatever #but its like.... you cant just blindly shit talk a person without talking to people who speak the actual language #and assessing if they did say something shitty or if maybe the translation wasnt on par yk #like inadvertently seeing people subtitle 100% incorrect words on felix or chris bc of their accents has been great for me #bc it made me stop and go Oh yeah. we can all mishear- misread- misinterpret and its good to remember that #anyway nothing but respect for translators who help to bridge the gap fr 👏
