Billlie's Tsuki revealed that after moving to Korea at age 13, she cut off contact with her mother for six months while learning Korean.
On the 18th, Tsuki appeared as a guest on SBS' variety show 'AGJ' alongside Mimi and Kim Jiyoo. She joined regular cast members Tak Jaehoon, Lee Sangmin, Lee Suji, and Kai to share various stories.
During the show, Lee Suji shared, "What's really amazing about Tsuki is that she came all the way to Korea, right? She reportedly cut off contact with her mom for six months because she wanted to be good at Korean," introducing her story.
When Tak Jaehoon found it hard to believe, Tsuki explained, "Because if I couldn’t speak Korean, nothing worked out. I couldn’t communicate, I couldn’t understand anything during lessons, and I didn’t even know when I was supposed to eat.”
She continued, "I told my mom, 'I really need to study Korean if I want to survive here. Please wait until I contact you first,' and then I just kept studying."
When Tak Jaehoon asked, "So your parents can’t speak Korean?" Tsuki replied, "Not at all. I came to Korea knowing absolutely nothing except 'Hello'" before adding, "Now, my mom even speaks Korean in my dreams."
Lee Suji praised Tsuki, noting how she has completely mastered Korean and even picked up regional dialects.
Recently, Tsuki has been gaining popularity as a variety show star. Following appearances on MBC variety shows 'Extreme 84' and 'I Live Alone,' she is continuing her promotions in other shows, including SBS' 'AGJ.'
