Lovelyz’s Lee Mi-joo Shares Her Hilarious Struggles Learning Japanese Through Language Apps on 'Just Lee Mi-joo'

Group Lovelyz member Lee Mi-joo opened up about her passionate desire to learn Japanese.

On the 22nd, a new video titled “Mi-joo’s Study With Me: Everything But Studying Is Fun” was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Just Lee Mi-joo.'

During the episode, when asked by the production team about the reactions to her YouTube channel, Lee Mi-joo shared, “I recently met Heo Young-ji, and she said it’s so much fun. Ji Ye-eun also said she really enjoys it, so I invited her to join. She said she’d be up for it as long as it’s not the ‘Kkang-kkang’ episode. I guess she doesn’t like the ‘Kkang-kkang’ image.”



A month ago, Lee Mi-joo expressed her eagerness to study Japanese, suggesting to the production team, “How about I try getting a Japanese language certification?”

She went on to say, “I really wanted to learn Japanese, so I downloaded an app that helps you make friends with foreigners. I used it to chat with Japanese people,” drawing attention with her efforts.

However, she confessed, “But since they were also using the app to learn Korean, they wanted to talk in Korean, and I wanted to talk in Japanese. There was no real progress, so I ended up quitting.”
