Just like any language, the Korean language has a wide variety of different dialects and regional accents. These are often referred to as satoori in Korean. A majority of idols and celebrity personalities have trained to speak without satoori in order to communicate with the general public.

But no matter how hard or long they train, their regional dialects still remain a part of them. They're able to easily slip into satoori when they're speaking with family on broadcast or if it's requested from fans and various shows. When they switch into satoori, there's a notable change in their tone of voice and image. Some idols' satoori sounds so charismatic that you cannot help but listen to their accent for hours on end.

Here are a few male K-Pop idols who have swoon-worthy satoori.

 

1. ATEEZ's San

San comes from Namhae in Gyeongsang Province. If he wasn't charismatic enough, those levels multiply tenfold when he uses satoori. There's a rough sexiness to it that sweeps you off your feet with just one line. You can't help but feel weak in the knees the moment you hear San's satoori.

 

2. CRAVITY's HyeongJun


HyeongJun was born in Tongyeong from Gyeongsang Province. Originally, the idol has a cute and youthful aura that covers him from head to toe. But that quickly changes the moment you hear him use satoori. With just one sentence, you will find yourself falling for HyeongJun's endless charms.

 

3. SF9's JaeYoon
