“It was funny to see wannabe grammarnazis who probably [sic] I only learned English through poorly written textbooks and I think they’re crap.
Kim Mingyu’s English is probably better than yours. You even thought you were so amazing with your playful tone. Please, it’s obvious that your conversation skills are poor. Come to me if you don’t agree.
It’s okay to have poor English, but not when you have poor English but still think you’re amazing. I’m afraid of shameless people, but I’m even more afraid when they show off and think they’re strong.

So funny. There are Taiwanese girls criticizing Kim Mingyu’s English grammar again. What’s wrong with her Instagram story? Just shut up. Surely he can speak it better than you… stupid.
– Fans
Other fans agreed with the second point of view, pointing out that there was nothing wrong with the way Mingyu wrote the message, as it is typical to leave out certain words when writing a casual message.
-
“We have to type ‘[it] it was fun’ when will we post in the future? lmfao”
-
“I saw this 😂 I wanted to quote her and say that the message was not badly written. Only foreigners like to criticize other people’s English grammar.”
-
“I think we saw the same post 😂😂😂 What’s the point of using textbook grammar to criticize colloquial slang? Bruh 😂😂😂 They only memorize things from textbooks, but their English is still not that good. Where did they get their confidence from?”
-
“It feels like I saw the same post 😂 It’s not the first time I’ve seen something like this, so I wasn’t surprised 😂 I think they try to find things they can do better than guys so they can feel better about themselves 😂😂😂 ”
Regardless of grammar, it doesn’t take away from the fact that Mingyu wrote a sweet message for his fans!
