- Cultural Rules to Live By in Seoul South Korea.
When I first came to South Korea, I always wondered how I could make my life great here. I had so much culture shock, that my head was spinning. But as I continued my life here in Korea, I got to understand what was acceptable in Korean society and what was not. I want to talk about the cultural and societal aspects of Korean life that Koreans would love for foreigners to adhere to while living and traveling in Korea.

Im not sure if these tips will work for you, but they have helped me to live so well in Korea. What do you all think?!
Love the walking style of the vlog and talking about some of the culture tips you've learned living in S. Korea.
Hey!!! Really thank you so much for this comment and for watching:)
한국에 대한 이해도가 너무 높아서 깜짝 놀랐습니다.굿이에요
너무 감사합니다!!! 한국 문화 계속 배우고 있어요:) 감사합니다!!:)
노인들은 청력이 안 좋은 경우가 많아서 대화할 때 목소리가 큰 경우가 많아요😊
This makes a lot of sense!!:)
프랑수와 한국말 엄청 잘해요!🙆🏻♀️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
So bad!!! But thanks for saying good things about me lol. I'll study more!!! Hahahaha:)
형님, 훈남이시네요. '훈남'이라고 아십니까? 훈남 is handsome and good guy
Hey!!! Wow...thank you so much for the compliment!!!! I will do my best to live up to your words!!!:)
I wished more people would watch this.
Hey, thanks so much! Just giving the benefit of my experiences here:)
These are very interesting tips, bro
I can really tell Koreans are huge on respect.
The seniority culture is really taken seriously, including ones that involve alcohol consumption
Great video!
Also, I love that Seoul has lots of Mongolian and Central Asian food options!
I did forget to mention the seniority aspect. That's a great point!! Always appreciate your support!!!!
Well, as a Korean, closing your mouth when you are eating! was so true and still is to many. But things have changed thanks to all those mukbang youtubers. I personally find it disturbing.
Mukbang has change the world lol
I am Korean. but I want to live in USA at least for a year. USA has so many delicious foods and beautiful scenery.
Hey! I think living there for a year would be a great experience for you! I hope you can do it!!!
Thanks for the reminder about the gift-giving! I need to be more consistent about that...
We all need that reminder!! My pleasure, brotha!!!
한국에서도 쩝쩝 소리내면서 먹는것과 후루룩 소리내면서 면치기 하는거 예의가 아니에요. Tv프로그램에 나온 일부 연예인과 먹방이 이상하게 변형시킨거임.
Thanks for letting me know!!!!
So many things!! Can't believe you brought up CPT!?
Also, crazy about over scheduling Korean dates... Sounds somewhat unromantic to be so regimented.
I do love how nonconfrontational everyone is because thats how I am!
Yet, I don't think I'd be so popular because I never drink either, I hate overeating or social eating and doing karaoke, but I can eat spicy foods!
Great video, great tips!
Ohhh, you know CPT, B?! Hahahaha
I remember my friends and I were always late going to meet other friends hahaha. Some friends would ask "Where are you?" We would say "Yo, we are right down the street...." knowing we hadn't even left yet hahahah.
I also like the non-confrontational behavior here. Every now and then, you will see older people arguing with each other, but it's few and far between.
I think you would like it here, though it's correct that if you don't overeat or drink, you might not be as popular as you could be lol. And if you eat spicy food, you are definitely okay! Thanks so much, B!!!
@@francoismarc3 I tend to run on APT (anxious people time) where I'm always 45min late or 3hrs early!
You deserve more views! great video Thanks.
I appreciate that! I'm working hard to prepare for it:)
Interesting that you speak of Koreans enjoying gift receiving. My Korean Canadian parents always taught me you never take anything without giving anything back; This seems more in line with "service".
I love to give gifts because it's just my nature, so I fit well in Korea. But I learned that when I give a gift, people's attitudes change towards me. They also give gifts to me in return, but just love seeing people's expressions when I give gifts expecting nothing in return:)
우리동네 사정을 잘 알고있네요 ㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 그쵸!!!
This video will help to foriegn people who just start living in Korea! I applicated your class on next semester. See you soon!
Hey, thanks so much for this comment! Which class of mine will you take?!
@@francoismarc3 I will take "African cultures and peopel". I'm English dept. student, Koo.
@@MrDing-bk6qx I will be happy to see have yu in my class!
If you play golf ⛳️ try to play simulator golf called GolfZon around you!
Oh, good idea!!! I'll look for that!!
@@francoismarc3 or korean billiards which is similar to Carom or French billiards, not pool
You are well educated young man
I see you marrying a nice beautiful Korean girl. 😊
How can you write such beautiful words to me...:( I really thank you for them. Because of your words, I have a bigger responsibility to grow and find a wonderful Korean woman to marry:) Thanks so very much!
bro i need that hat, the sun is killing me here lol
I bought it for 10,000 won at tye underground market. Has saved my life lol
@@francoismarc3 tried on a bunch of those at dongdaemun the other day, but i guess my head's too large for any of them 😂
@@MIHAOidk of that works but pick a circle shaped cloth(black absorbs heat but other colors make u blind so pick a color however u like) and make hole in the middle and put that cutted cloth on a hat and cut the front of the cloth however u like for vision😂😅
Yes, don't drink just because you want to fit it!! You will regret it, for sure. Health first. Koreans need to cap the alcoholism. There are tons of girls who don't drink and I'm sure you'll be able to meet some soon. You're very lovely and handsome and I hope your channel blows up!
Omg...thank you so much for your kind comment! It makes me feel so good!!!")
Content is great
Hey, really thank you so much!! Getting better!!!
So cute!
Hey!!! Thank you so very much!!!!:):)
@@francoismarc3 I always be inspired by your videos. Especially your friendly and positive and optimistic personality and conversation style. If you don't mind someday I would like to hang out with! Good night haha
You would feel the limits as a forigner at anytime... Because, Korea is not an immigrant country like US or many other western countries, but empasis their blood, surnames and even clans, and most of forigners except from north eastern asia are distinguished by appearance, so you need to recognize and accept it!!! And, so be nice and courteous wherever you go in Korea then Koreans will treat you as guests at least...
Thanks for your comment:)
I'm a Korean. Eating with loud sounds like you imitate in this video is actually considered rude and annoying to many Koreans, especially to women. Usually 아저씨들 eat like that😂
Hahhah I see many ajjoshis eating like that and some young people too! When I was in the countryside of Korea, I was told if I eat like this, the cools will know I liked the food lol
입을 벌리고 먹는 문화는 정말 사라져야 합니다. 왜 이런교육이 가정에서 학교에서 안할까요. 왜 우리 엄마는 조용히 먹는데 아빠는 후루룩 짭짭을 할까요. 팔을 괴고 대가리 쳐박고 설렁탕 먹는 모습도 사라져야 합니다. 나는 남자입니다.
I dont think that smack eating? is a an accepted thing in Korea nah~~ that is just some school girl thing so don't do that ~ that is low
I definitely don't eat like that, but in the countryside, they told me to do that to show I loved the food hahah
Good that you don’t drink. Anyone who has to drink alcohol on dates is possibly an alcoholic already. Drinking & mukbang culture in Korea went too far.
I used to drink in college and my first year here in Korea. I had no friends, so the people I hung out with always drank, thus, I drank too. After the first year learning about the country, I only drank on special occasions. Now, I'm alcohol free for almost 2 and 1/2 years! Usually, many women don't want to date me if I dint drink. Im happy with it hahah
@@francoismarc3 Excellent! You’re doing great Francois! I hope you meet a nice wholesome girl one day!
시대가 많이 바뀌어서 술 권하는 문화는 거의 없어졌죠. KKONDAE 소리 안들으려면 적당히 멈출줄도 알아야해서 NON-ALCHOLE 존중해야 하구요. 불과 이십년전에는 동료 군대간다고 이것저것 섞은 미친 술 먹은 기억도 있는데 다 추억이죠
@@user-py1jg8ey1v 저 미국 사는 교포인데 이게 사실인가요? 한국에 안 가본지 너무 오래 되서 요즘 이상하게 한국 뉴스를 미국 소셜 미디아를 통해서 듣게 되버렸는데 뉴스 특성상 한국에 관해서 안 좋은 얘기만 올리니까 잘 몰라서요. 술 권하는 문화가 많이 없어진거에요? 그리고 술 마신는 정도는 좀 좋아졌나요?
@@Jin-om5jz 네 ! 술 사양해도 자꾸 권하면 꼰대 소리 듣습니다. 지금이 어떤 시대냐구요. 특히 지금 이삼십대한테 그러면 속으로 욕해요. 글구 술 한병에 오육천원하니 왜 이리 맛도 없는거에 돈 쓸까 하는 사회적 분위기가 형성돼 가고 있죠
