Pretty much, I think dubbing also contribute to this (which leads to less exposure to a foreign language) you can also see this in the English-speaking world.

Which reminds me. Romi Park can speak Korean since she's Zainichi and has studied in Seoul before being a seiyu.

Somebody forgot to mention Mari Iijima, the only seiyuu to have voiced the same character -- Lynn Minmay -- in both Japanese and later, English.

Hm, I thought there would be a ton of them, at least more Japanese/Korean speaking ones than Japanese/English speaking ones. There aren't too many zainichi VAs, or VAs who just plain want to learn Korean? (Not that only those groups can speak Korean in Japan, js)

Now I know there was the whole Korean wave thing, but when you hear J-Pop, what's the language that every song seems to always insert random phrases of? English. Also, English is mandatory in schools, Korean isn't. |

I'm not sure if she said her remarks in English phonetically or what, but it's nice to hear that she's got some effort in.
Yuu Asakawa's Twitter. Majority of her tweets are English, but has some Japanese from time to time. It seems that she lived in New Zealand, where she learned the language. Most likely in her younger years. PS - The web show she's hosting is called Otaku Verse Zero. She speaks English in the episodes.
