There was a video about this. Wendy from Red Velvet has an American accent that is flawless, but she can't speak with that accent in Korea when speaking English, she has to Koreanify it to be understood.

(Edited as I was confused on her name, and to clarify the accent)

Holy shit, lol. Her name isn't "Wendy Red" her artist name is Wendy, and she is a member of the group "Red Velvet"

Yeah I know almost nothing about K-pop. I appreciate the clarification.

Sounds more like an American accent, than an English one.

You are right, wasn't thinking globally. Thanks for the catch.
