These stars learned the language by living in a different country while others became fluent by dedicating time to studying it. Here are K-drama actors and actresses who could speak other foreign languages besides English.
Moon Ga Young
One of the interesting facts about Moon Ga Young is that her first language is not Korean but German. The True Beauty star was born and raised in Karlsruhe, Germany spent the early years of her life in Europe, and moved back to South Korea along with her family when she was 10.
