A Los Angeles television morning show is taking flack online after she expressed surprise that a Canadian K-pop star spoke English.
The K-pop group NCT 127 appeared on Fox’s Good Day L.A. on Tuesday where, following a performance, band member Mark Lee mentions he is from Vancouver. The anchor responds with: “Very cool, your English is awesome. I love it.â€
with the caption: “I mean he’s from Canada, what is he supposed to speak, moose?â€
The tweet quickly gathered steam online, with many Canadians responding that they speak moose or suggesting for other Canadian lingo.
“’Maple Syrup on the Queen on a Moose meeting the Prime Minister and Drinking Tim Hortons Eh’ roughly translates to: “Can I borrow your shovel†in Canadian,â€
The tweet has gathered more than 158,000 views since Tuesday.
NCT 127’s new album “Regular Irregular†is out Friday.
“Your english is awesome , I love itâ€
