A 10-year-old named Christy does face painting while speaking English with the host, who asks questions about cartoons, characters, and her interests. The video shows parents how play and conversation at home can build kids' English confidence without formal lessons.
5 languages? Your English is so good.
I've never been to America before.
I have a very, very special guest with me today. Christy! You gotta clap. We are going to do some face painting. Let's see.
This is cool. I wanna do it first on you.
We're using these cups because Christy likes abs. No! You told me you like abs.
No, my friend does.
Oh, not you? I like abs. I—
Mom had it, but— After she and me and Helen is gone.
So it's your and Helen's fault? We are going to surprise each other, which kind of makes me nervous. Be nice, Christy. Make me look beautiful.
I'll think about that.
Sassy. You can show the camera. How about that?
I see what I'm gonna do.
Yeah, is it super cute?
Yeah.
Why is he laughing? I don't know if I trust you, Christy.
No, you should trust me. You love me.
You know me, right? Okay, go for it. Okay, I can't laugh when you do it.
Close your eyes.
Okay. Mmm.
You actually ate it. It says if you eat it, it's fine to eat it.
Did you Google it?
Yeah, but then it can choke you.
This will choke me?
No, like chunks of it.
Enjoy your Kylie Jenner lips. Nope.
Okay, the lips might look good.
I want to peek.
No, that's against the rules. Peeking is against the rules.
Whose rules? I'm the one who brought the face paint.
But Hong is the—
the boss. Is that what you were going to say? No, no, no, I don't like this. Just remember, I'm painting your face after.
White paint.
Why are you pushing so hard? This feels personal.
I changed it. This is what I changed it. I'm like doing makeup artist.
Is that what you want to be when you grow up?
Model.
Model?
Or designer.
You can do both of them, I think. Can I open?
Yeah, I'm done. It's sewer.
A sewer?
So that's not the answer, it's a hint. Oh, it's a sewer turtle.
No, no, I think I know.
There's 3 People.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Yeah. Oh, it's yellow and it's cute. It has glass— one glasses, has one eyes. There's millions of them, but they mostly all look different. It has one button and it has a really wide smile. Your eyebrows is its hair.
Hang on, am I A Minion?
Ja!
Ah! Oh my, oh my gosh! I see it! Okay, this part of me is the Minion, right? And my nose is the Ninja Turtle. Okay, what were you doing with this though?
I showed you the monkey.
Oh, the monkey! So I've got a monkey butt, a Minion, and a Ninja Turtle nose. It's like a 3-for-1 deal. Now it's payback time.
It was good.
This is what I'm going to make Christine.
I'm scared.
Don't be scared, you're in good hands. Okay, I don't want to get your hair though.
Close my eyes.
You don't have to. You told me that like you once took your mom's makeup.
Oh yeah, when I was like really young.
That's So crazy.
When I was young, I was really like into makeup. Helen was never interested in that.
She never was, but you were?
Yeah.
Mm.
She only liked dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs?
So when she went to a store and if she didn't get something like, that's a dinosaur, she always cried on the floor.
She did?
Until my mom bought her.
Bought her dinosaur stuff? Did you ever play dinosaurs together?
I don't think so.
You can see your reflection in my earrings?
Yeah.
I gotta take them out, that's cheating.
I can't see it because it's like a little blurry. My eyebrows are tingling.
They're tingling? Wait, I hope you don't have like an allergy to this paint. Oh my god, that would not be a good ending.
I think you're making me into a minion too.
I don't know.
SMR.
Turn this way, please. There you go. Oh, hair flip! I thought you were Beyoncé for a second there. Is that your rizz? Are you rizzing me up? Like, how do you learn most slang, like rizz and stuff like that?
Helen or TikTok.
Do any of your friends at school do YouTube?
I guess one friend, but she left.
Oh, what kind of YouTube did she do?
Just dance.
Dance, YouTube!
Please add the sound effect. Glowing!
Glowing hair.
Now I feel like I'm snowman.
Oh, that's also a good guess. What's your favorite holiday, Christy?
My favorite is Christmas.
It's mine too. I think I'm pretty content. What do you think you are? You get, um, 2 guesses as well.
Minion?
No.
Snowman?
Not a snowman.
You need to give me 2 hints.
Okay, this character is something you eat, and you make french fries out of this thing that you eat.
Is it Mr. Potato?
Yes.
Oh, creepy. I'm offended.
You're offended? That's my finest work, Christy.
You did better job.
Oh, me.
3, 2, 1.
Me.
Both Hongs.
Ooh, Hong's the judge. Okay, Hong, you're the judge.
Easy answer.
Me, right? Your wife? Christine.
Ayy!
You can speak what languages?
Very little bit of Japanese, a little bit of Mandarin, a little bit Spanish, English, Korean.
5 languages? Oh my gosh. So with your sister, you speak mostly English. Your mom, you speak Korean.
Yeah.
What about with your friends?
English. I mean, it's comfortable with English, but I'm okay with Korean. I'm Korean and I've never been to America before.
When I posted your video, a lot of people thought you were American because your English is so good.
I mean, English is more comfortable than Korean.
Do you ever want to go to the US? Yeah, you can go show your mom and Helen. I think they'll be shocked. How was today?
Good.
Did you have fun? Would you do it again? Thank you so much for filming with me today. Goodbye!
