For those who don't know, back during Super Junior's early days they had a show called "Super Junior Full House" that just basically surrounded their new careers and placed 2 exchange students who both spoke English fluently in their house to live with them. While the students were staying there, the SuJu boys took English classes in their home and here are one of the few hilarious results:


After his comeback on Ya Shim Man Man 2, in the first segment, Rain is prompted by Jun Jin to converse with Nich Khun in English. There is an air of awkwardness but it's still very cute... later, Kang Ho Dong is messing with him, Rain responds with a cool phrase:


During a fanclub event in Japan, TVXQ's Micky and Junsu break into some random English before a sports endurance test... clearly, Micky hasn't been tutoring Junsu at all!
