Red Velvet\'s Wendy talks about her academic excellence as a student in the U.S.

Red Velvet\'s Wendy appeared on JTBC\'s \'Cook Representative\' on May 4.

She revealed on this day, "While living in the United States, I received the Obama President\'s Award [for Academics] while I was in middle school there," and introduced herself in great English to the chefs from Dubai who were present that day.

Kim Sung Joo asked the chefs, "Have you ever received President\'s Awards?" and they said they had not.  Ahn Jung Hwan then revealed he had indeed received one for being good at soccer.  

They literally give that award to everyone in middle school. Now the real things is college my friends. But oh well, if this works as inspiration for someone out there I guess It\'s all good.

It\'s good that the young kids see Idols respect academics.

JESUS, FIRST THE VOICE OF A GODDESS NOW THE BRAIN OF EINSTEIN? damn I\'ve chosen my bias well

Praising her for her perfect English is like praising a Korean idol for their perfect Korean...

For the confused... Wendy was born in Korea, grew up in Toronto Canada, and went to a high-end boarding school in Minnesota for a time (2 yrs?). She is Canadian, not American.

Ha... Middle School is a nice period. We all had A-s during Middle School. She is 22, and I think she should be speaking about university studies by now. I encourage her to start university studies and wish her all the best. FIGHTING Wendy!!

I can\'t even imagine she was from US , I mean love din US like she doesn\'t look like it I mean most Korean who did lived in US has a aura And feels that like "oh yeah he or she must lived in US"  I think Like Krystal , Jessica , taecyeon and etc

Technically she isn\'t from the US. She\'s from Canada, and went to a school in America for a few years. Either way, I don\'t get this whole "aura" thing. I personally can\'t tell where someone is from until they actually say where they\'re from

I know lol But I think is just me but I feel kind of feeling just from the way they speak and do stuff ya know Is just gave off it lol 😬😅😅

The aura I m describing not a aura like you think it is but it\'s a feeling I just see it the way the speak cos in my eye it\'s kinda different and mostly I\'ve been correct thou I m wrong sometimes
