"Welcome to the second episode of Learning About Korea With Enchanted!" Taeyeon spoke as everyone cheered. "Today Enchanted will be becoming more knowledgeable in the Korean language and even sharing their own knowledge from their native languages!"

"From eldest to youngest, Ellie-ssi, in your native language, what is your favorite word?" Leeteuk gently smiled.

"My first language is Swedish," the leader answered. "And my favorite word... Lagom. There is no direct translation in Korean but lagom means not too much or too little, it's just right."

"Why did you pick this word?"

"Because, in Swedish, it is definitely one of my most used words. So now, not being able to use it and be understood, makes me realize how much of an awesome word it is."

"Sara-ssi, what about you?" Taeyeon asked.

Sara looked up in thought before saying, "My first language is French. I would say my favorite word is Enchantée, it means enchanted or delighted to meet you. And I chose it because I just think it has such a pretty meaning, that other languages could really use."

"It's just an added bonus that your group is Enchanted," Leeteuk pointed out, gaining some laughter. "Oksana-ssi, what is your favorite word?"

"My main language is Ukrainian. I would say I have a favorite phrase not word that is: I͡A ne znai͡u!."

"What's that mean?" Taeyeon asked, an eyebrow raised.

Ana couldn't hide the humor filled smile from her face. "I don't know."

She was meet with confused looks until Kyojin caught on, which resulted in her laughter, thus confusing the rooms occupants even more.

"It means 'I don't know'," Ana explained, after her and the maknae finished their laughter. Everyone immediately laughed, taking a few seconds to sober up.

"And last, what about you Khione-ssi?" Taeyeon said, looking back down to her MC card.

"My first language is Greek and my favorite word is χιόνι meaning snow," Angel softly smiled at the word. "It has to do with my stage name and my favorite season is Winter."

"You really do learn things everyday," Taeyeon joked, thinking of the new foreign words.

"Since today we will be discussing Korean language, how proficient are the members?" Leeteuk questioned.

"None of us are fluent in Korean," Sara chuckled, not realizing how bad that was until she actually said it out loud.

"Really?" Taeyeon's eyes widened, surprised.

"I only know basic," Kyojin pointed to herself. "Unnies are semi-fluent."

"How semi-fluent?" The Suju leader asked.

After receiving a confused look he elaborated, "Who out of the three of you is the best?"

The three members shared silent looks before Sara spoke up, "I think Ellie-ah is the best."

Ellie quickly shook her head, waving her hands in front of her. "I'm not, I'm not. Ana-ah is the best."

"Why do you say so?" the female MC asked Sara first.

"Her parents are Korean college professors," the rapper explained. "So the members find it surprising she isn't fluent by now."

"But Ana-ah's first language is Korean," Ellie bit back, not wanting the pressure of being seen as the one with the best language abilities in the group.

"But I make a lot of mistakes," Ana purposely thickened her accent, causing laughter. "Sara-unnie is the best."
