Generally, celebrities hesitate to write something when asked to do it in handwriting. It’s because they’re afraid they’ll get criticized by netizens when their handwriting is made public. But Jay Park was different. As soon as a piece of paper was given, he grabbed a pen without hesitation and began writing down. He wrote in the unpolished yet neat Korean “An-nyung-ha-sae-yo!! (Hello!!).” When I said, “Your Korean is good,” he waived his hand and said, “Nah, it’s not good enough.” “I began learning Korean only after I had come to Korea. I studied very hard. I don’t have much problem speaking now, but it’s still hard for me to understand complicated words. But, now that I’ve learned Korean, I’m trying to speak with my parents in Korean.”
