As others have said he also lives in California, has rudimentary knowledge of Spanish, and frequently eats food such as enchiladas and burritos so has elysiumerican city cultural immersion. He hasn’t said what language his parents speak, but I remember him saying that they understand English and he speaks English to them, and they speak back in their native language and he understands most of it but no longer knows how to read write or speak himself. He also relates a lot to Flay in terms of Singaporean experiences and loved being in Indonesia with kobo/hakka, so I’d put him as a mix of SEA, likely predominant Korean and/or Singaporean?
He learned English at 6-7 years old ( https://youtu.be/REvinbR_bno?t=3334 ) and has never said what his first language was either as Shinri or in his PL. We do know he’s Asian, most likely Korean from the references he’s made. He always said he only speaks English now though so I’m guessing he either wants to keep it private or he truly forgot his first language with time.
He can read Hangul but don’t remember the vocabulary anymore because it was so long ago. it was shown during White day horror game stream. He read the hangul to chat and chat translate it.
I don’t think he’s gyopo. Hallyu wave started in the 90s it just didn’t get picked up by white people until the 2010s so it’s not surprising for an Asian kid from California to like DBSK. Based on the stuff he’s said and some of the food he’s talked about I think maybe he’s southern Chinese or SEA.
I’m Korean and I’d really be shocked if it’s Korean too. Given the alleged bg nonnies are proposing here, I’d expect him to speak with a particular “accent” (not really, but hard to describe if you don’t know what I’m talking about) that he just doesn’t have. Altare for example very audibly has it and he doesn’t even speak Korean, I could tell he was Korean before he even said anything hinting at it in his debut.
Yeah I know what you’re talking about, I’m Korean American and every English speaking Korean man I’ve met has it regardless of whether they can speak Korean or not, at least in America/Canada– it seems to just be something that results culturally somehow. Altare and Ver Vermillion of NijiEN both have it despite one being monolingual and the other fully bilingual. It’s particularly apparent in the ones from the coasts, so if Shinri has been living in California it’d be exceptionally strange for him to have known Korean at some point and still be so free of the “accent”.
I do think there’s been some evidence both on PL and as Shinri that he is Korean, I just don’t think he’s full Korean + seriously doubt it was his first language.
yeah he could understand hakka shout on spanish to the chicken and spanish of kiwi which Shinri translate it to “the balls of the monkey” maybe he take spanish class during his school day
As much as I want Axel to interact more on twitter and make more friends on the EN side, I also think it’s hilariously based for him to just join a RP server, wreak havoc as a chaotic perverted villain, and then vanish from the internet.
Good job Mamaxel. He really need and want one yet so hesitant to get one. So mama take the wheel. Wish Syrios family and the new kitty a happy life 🧡

Has Shinri ever said what language he speaks other than English? I’ve always wondered but I never heard him talk in another language.
