The popularity of Korean culture in Pakistan is on the rise, and a recent video featuring a Pakistani boy, Sungkun Siddiqui, and his Korean mother has captured the attention of social media users. The video, which has gone viral, highlights the Korean woman’s impressive ability to speak fluent Punjabi, leaving viewers both amazed and delighted.
Sungkun Siddiqui, also known as Desi Korean, shared the video on his Instagram account. In the clip, he introduces his mother to his followers and asks her a series of questions in Punjabi. As the conversation unfolds, the viewers quickly realize that the Korean woman is proficient in the language.
At the beginning of the video, Siddiqui asks his mother in Punjabi whether she can speak the language. Without missing a beat, she confidently replies, “Han aundee hai (Yes, I can).” He then encourages her to share a few Punjabi phrases with the audience. As she takes a moment to think about what to say, Mr. Siddiqui teasingly casts doubt on her claims.
The playful banter between mother and son continues as he asks her about her favorite movie. When she hesitates to provide a title, Mr. Siddiqui jokingly asks if it’s the Punjabi film ‘Carry On Jatta.’ She responds in Hindi, “Nahi, meri pasand ki movie Par Desi Par Desi Janna Nahi (No, I like the movie ‘Par Desi Par Desi Janna Nahi’),” which suggests that she is referring to the Bollywood film ‘Raja Hindustani.’
The video showcasing the Korean woman’s language skills has resonated with many viewers, further fueling the growing interest in Korean culture throughout Pakistan. It also serves as a delightful reminder of the beauty of cultural exchange and the bonds that can be formed through language and shared experiences.
