On the MBC entertainment show 'The Limit84', Kian84 highlighted the necessity of learning English while struggling to communicate with an international running crew.

The episode aired on the 14th featured Kian84 and Kwon Hwa-woon joining a large running crew of over 600 members at Camps Bay Beach in Cape Town, South Africa, a popular tourist spot and a haven for runners.

Kian84 attempted to converse with the crew members using an English translator, but found himself in a difficult situation. He confessed, "Basically, if there are many people, I have trouble mingling," expressing his personal challenges.

In contrast, Kwon Hwa-woon actively engaged with the crew, busy making new friends. After failing to connect due to his limited English, Kian84 humorously stated, "Everyone, study English hard. It's awkward if you don't study English. There's more fun in talking with yourself than talking with many people," before adding, "I'm so awkward. Let's just run," to lighten the mood.

Netizens commented, "Kian84 is right about English", "I also feel frustrated overseas because of English", and "Still, it's good he used a translator." The reactions showed empathy and support for his experience.
