ABSTRACT
This research has conducted descriptive qualitative method and Barron-Hauwaert's theory about multilingual children's language pattern usage, in order to investigate multilingual children's language use in the community through the influence of their closest environment represented in ‘The Return of Superman’ variety shows in Korea. The subject of the study is ‘Park Naeun’ as well as her multicultural family. The researchers would use the online documentation technique to collect data from selected videos on YouTube channels, as described in the three research questions. The results from the findings demonstrate that Park Naeun was capable of speaking using both the majority and minority languages as a multilingual child. The influence of parents’ language on the children's language is a signal that contributes to the success of the children's language-learning process. When parents can maintain their children's first language, they could also maintain their children's next language acquisition. This analysis revealed that Park Naeun changed their language use for many reasons: politeness, meaningful conversations, and similar perceptions.
