Leisure With Lily #21

What happened

NMIXX's Lily ran a solo livestream, episode 21 of her "Leisure With Lily" series, chatting with fans in a mix of Korean and English in the days leading up to Chuseok.

Why Koreans care

Several fans in the chat wish her "풍성한 한가위" (pungseonghan Hangawi, "a bountiful Hangawi") — a standard Chuseok greeting built on 한가위 (Hangawi), the traditional native name for the holiday, wishing someone an abundant harvest-moon holiday rather than just "happy holidays."

In the Korean comments

The top comment, in translation, reads: "Everything about NMIXX is a strength, but communicating with fans this much makes 엔써 (Enswer, NMIXX's official fandom name) happy — thoughts of an Enswer watching a live for the first time." It uses the group's own fandom name rather than a generic word for "fans." Separately, one commenter asks, in translation, why Lily's Korean still lags behind members who have been in Korea only three years, despite her having been in Korea for ten years and reading a lot — a specific, direct question aimed at her, not a general complaint.

What the words mean

Lily asks in the stream, "콩글리시 가능?" (konggeullisi ganeung?, "can I do Konglish?"). 콩글리시 (Konglish) literally blends "Korean" and "English"; here it means speaking English words or phrasing shaped by Korean habits rather than standard English — she uses it self-deprecatingly right before trying to speak more English, expecting to get some of it wrong.
