A popular vlogger dubbed 'Korean Billy', has admitted that he learnt how to speak with a Scottish accent from comedian Limmy and television series Outlander.
Seong-Jae Kong films tutorials on how to say everyday phrases in different dialects and they have been hugely popular, recieving thousands of views at a time.
The 26-year-old is particularly popular in Scotland with his explanations of the meaning of phrases like "pure baltic" and "let's meet aw the troops at the pub!".
The Youtube sensation explained that he had picked up his talent for mastering accents from watching television, reports the Scottish Sun.
He said: "“My videos trying out different English accents became really popular online so I thought I’d move on to Scottish ones.
“I tried to watch some TV shows to help me and watched the Limmy Show and Outlander to help me get better at them at first.
“Instead of enjoying it, I just tried to take in their accents. But I really couldn’t understand either of them at first, especially Limmy."
Limmy has since taken to Twitter to express his happiness at being able to help the Korean star.
His video on understanding Glasgow dialect has been viewed more than 140,000 times on Youtube.
