They call it "Konglish", its good and understandable, but Korean accents produce a wider pronounication range then Japanese accents, thats why its harder for a native Japanese person to produce English. Making Japanese "R" sound like an "l" or english "r" is harder. Korean has a closer matching set of pronounications to English with many sounds being "close enough".

Overall Korean speech still doesn't match the number of vocals and consenant sounds that English produces and is missing stuff that make English work. English still has more phonetics, diaphonetics and triphonetics then Korean.

however I will note folks tend to not notice whats missing and tend to focus on what they understand instead of what they don't. The brain is also a good source of confusion since so long as it can figure out what the person is saying it tends to skip over minor details.

This is how some are CONVINCED that Japanese voicebanks used to make English (and I quote) "have better english capablities then Luka and the Engloids", which is a load of hogwash in reality. :-/
