In our generation right now, where everything is evolving, does accent really matter? I know it sounds improper to be very upset on what Lee did but for me, making fun of other incapacity is insulting. Lee speaks better than her countrymen but is it proper to condemn others? I honestly dislike what Lee Da Hae did. Filipinos do not speak the way she portrayed it. We speak better English than other Asians because English is somewhat our third language and the module of instructions of our classes are all in English. Lee Da Hae is just stupid and she chose the wrong country to pick in terms of English language proficiency. Yes, we are not as good as we used to be but still we are significantly better than others. We are not perfect but I can say that we are more competitive in terms of our command of the language.
Lee Da Hae expressed her apology on her twitter account saying that she did not knew that it was the Filipino teachers that she was imitating. She thought it was the southeast Asian teachers. She's a brat. She just made her mistake worst. Condemning her fellow Asians, making fun of them in the national TV worsen everything. What does she think about herself? Perfect? Yeah she is beautiful but for me she lacks attitude. What she showed on her twit is only a proof that she is dumb. She might not probably knew that a lot of Koreans went to the Philippines to study English. So try to put it this way, insulting those people mentoring her fellow countrymen to become proficient in English language also insult the latter. What we all need is a public apology and admit to herself that she really did a mistake. A twit can be done by anyone and what she did was not supposed to be only credited to the show but also to herself. Expressing her sorry indirectly and continuously denying what she did only show how unprofessional and futile she is.
Right now, the main question is, does she really worth our rage? A very good saying from a movie that I forgot the title says that "Don't level yourself to the commoners!" But I believe that each of us are unique and not perfect. Whatever flaws one have must not be make fun of by others. Hopefully Lee Da Hae will give her apology in the national TV as well as admitting that she did a mistake.
