A Los Angeles television morning show is taking flack online after she expressed surprise that a Canadian K-pop star spoke English.
The K-pop group NCT 127 appeared on Fox鈥檚 Good Day L.A. on Tuesday where, following a performance, band member Mark Lee mentions he is from Vancouver. The anchor responds with: 鈥淰ery cool, your English is awesome. I love it.鈥
with the caption: 鈥淚 mean he鈥檚 from Canada, what is he supposed to speak, moose?鈥
The tweet quickly gathered steam online, with many Canadians responding that they speak moose or suggesting for other Canadian lingo.
鈥溾橫aple Syrup on the Queen on a Moose meeting the Prime Minister and Drinking Tim Hortons Eh鈥 roughly translates to: 鈥淐an I borrow your shovel鈥 in Canadian,鈥
