Singer Hwang Chi-yeul had a delightful interaction with fans, confessing that his Gyeongsang-do dialect skills used to be "top-tier" in the past. Although his speech has softened over the years, his deep affection and confidence in his dialect captured the attention of many。

On the 15th, Hwang Chi-yeul held an Instagram Live during his commute home and chatted with fans about various topics. What stood out most was his savory and charismatic use of the dialect。

When the topic of dialects came up during the broadcast, Hwang Chi-yeul said, "I don't think I've forgotten much of my dialect," while proudly adding, "Back in the day, I was truly top-tier when it came to speaking in dialect". He reminisced about how he was even fluent in the deep, old dialect expressions primarily used by grandmothers at the time。

However, he added that his way of speaking has become much gentler due to his long life in Seoul. While expressing some regret by saying, "(The dialect) has been diluted quite a bit since coming to Seoul," he continued to approach fans throughout the broadcast with a friendly dialect intonation。

In addition, Hwang Chi-yeul mentioned an interesting correlation between the dialect and Chinese "tones". He shared a tip that the unique intonation of the Gyeongsang-do dialect is a huge help in learning Chinese tones, citing his dialect as one of the secrets to his successful activities in China。

Fans who watched the video showed enthusiastic responses, such as "He's most charming when he uses his dialect," "I acknowledge his top-tier status," "It's still savory even if it has been diluted," and "Please give us a dialect lesson sometime"。
