Seohyun has literally always been better than Sooyoung at English. She's basically fluent, none of the other members come close, even Jessica and Tiffany are barely better.
No Sooyoung was definitely better than Seohyun for a while. Seohyun has always had the best accent. She has a great accent in Chinese and Japanese as well. Only recently has she become confident enough to use her English more often. She still sounds shaky and unsure with the language, but her greeting at KCON really surprised me, she keeps on improving massively.
None of the members can rival Jessica and Tiffany though. They were born and raised as English speaking Americans so you can't really beat that.

This better be about Jungsis. Y'all ain't ready for my meltdowns if it comes true.
If they do debut as a subunit, a song like Spit It Out by f(x) would really suit them imo.
EDIT: Jungsis unit
I always mistake their voice on the song they did for BoA hit movie.
Someone recorded this from outside the SM building. At first I thought it was GG, but you can clearly hear Jessica and Krystal's voices in the song, so it must be a Jungsis song.
It was posted in April which was around the time they started filming their reality show, so chances are, they've had at least a mini prepared for some time. Jessica even confirmed that they had recorded more songs together.

You easily can.
Tiffany and Jessica were born and raised in America, ergo their annunciation is lazy and sloppy. I'm not trying to discredit Americans since all native-English speakers do it. It's not like they annunciate as clearly as someone who studied and learnt the language so learned how to speak it properly. We all take our language for granted so unless you were a rich bitch who had elocution lessons, chances are someone who learns the language fully will speak it better than you.
-Epik High (Bet we are gonna get next month for sure)
-Tablo Solo (as lyricist for everyone it is possible this year but doubt it)
-Lee HI (possibly december and especially since she hangs out with Lydia all the time)
-PSY's Daddy (definitely getting next month; probably got pushed back with WINNER and their ENL style slayage of the charts)
-BigBang (depends on GD)
-Daesung Solo (he is raking in so much Japanese dough YG will keep him over there)
-Akmu 2nd Album (October for sure; too big of a moneymaker)
-2ne1 album (Damn you Park Bom)
-CL solo (maybe this year...bekahboom went to Korea just to work with CL on her album so maybe)

Maybe in terms of grammar and sentence structure because natives get lazy and use a lot of slang.
But what I mean is that they will never sound like native speakers like JeTi do. They just won't as they haven't grown up in an English speaking country, they will always have a foreign accent, even if they work really hard, native speakers can still easily tell.
And anyway there's not much reason for them to learn it as SM doesn't have any more Western plans in place as far as we know.

Do you mean enunciation? Annunciation is a noun that means the act of announcing something.
And I've gotta disagree with you there. Speaking from experience, my first language is Russian, but since I rarely ever use it anymore, I'm far from fluent. I know basic conversational Russian, and that's about it. I recently met an American guy who's been studying it for 14 years in Moscow; he's a PhD, completely fluent, but my pronunciation and comprehension are still better than his. You just can't top a native speaker. If you start learning a language any time after hitting thirteen, you most likely will never match people who were brought up speaking it unless you either immerse yourself in it fully for many years or have an exceptional IQ.

dskjf;as exposE it!
Although I kind of proved my point, in text no less.
Wow 14 years though, that's a hell of a long time. But then it doesn't take into account other things like how you were raised/taught to speak, how he was taught the language, etc. plus if he's been there for 14 years chances are he probably stopped learning the language once he became fluent in it, or maybe his enunciation has dwindled over the years.
I was definitely exaggerating when I said any learner could best a native, but I think it's entirely within the realm of possibility for Seohyun to be a better English speaker than Jessica or Tiffany. I mean if you hear them speak English they do it so blasé that words blend into one another.

What are your thoughts?
EPIK HIGH and PSY are the only one's happening for sure. Lee Hi possibly. BIGBANG comeback is a big MAYBE.
Apart from these, Team B or the new girl group might still be coming out this year.

Exactly my point. I know people who have been living in English speaking countries and speaking only English for 10 years+ and they STILL sound vaguely foreign even then. And in France I know people that have been speaking French for 5-10 years and they still sound foreign, even though they speak it more than I do.
I think after about 11/12, learning a new language is still perfectly possible, but not with a native accent. Apparently some process in our brains that helps us copy the sounds around us very easily ends at like age 12.
BesTie is coming back with a digital repackaged album and a song by DoubleSideKick Bring in the bops!!! ]
OK, even though they produced Mamma Slayage and that's honestly been my SAWNG since it's release, I'm kinda over them being used like there's no tomorrow...
They deliver bops, so it's hard to be annoyed, but at the same time, I need an idol group to change this trend already
But for BESTie, I'll bite my tongue and repress those feelings if it means a potential hit
