As a Thai native, she did not know how to speak Korean at all. She previously told host Woody that it took a year for her to completely settle down in South Korea.
So what was her secret to learning the language so fast? She revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that it was her teacher’s actions that helped her greatly.
When I first came to Korea, my teacher didn’t want me to continue speaking English. So she tried to keep me speaking Korean from beginning to end.

During her training with that teacher, she had to speak in straight Korean. This forced her out of her comfort zone and made her learn the language quickly.
During the hour long class, we only spoke in Korean. I didn’t know any Korean, but she only spoke in Korean so it was really tough.
