If people know how much the US exists to use its citizens and the world abroad. They wouldn't love it so much. But yes the US is great for exponentially growing money if you are not a salary person.
Forget about S Korea, everyone over there is "Western princess of war", do look for it on Wikipedia as its not a normal word
“I don’t think anyone has a negative perception” ask his gf “yeah I have a negative opinion” 😂😂😂😂
韩国人对美国的看法挺复杂的。所以不能一概而论。韩国有一些左派分子是反美媚中的。例如더불어민주당等等。前总统文在寅也是。再说他是偏激的反日主义者。日本人都讨厌他。
They broke up after the interview 😅
Many Koreans have negative opinion on the US. Things like health care, gun control issues, and racial divide in the states are pretty well reported in Korea.
@@panacea26947 Free healthcare makes hospitals full & wait time becomes longer, gun control make America un-invadable, & makes us equal in the sense that nobody is more dangerous than the other. Korea does not have to worry about rascist because 99% of the poeple are korean lmfao we have every race from every country & they still want to defend their home country. wayyyyyyyy different.
@@panacea26947 free Health care would crowd hospitals in any serious event. Gun control makes America un-invadable, but also keeps us equal. No person is more dangerous than the other. & The US hold every nationality of people . Which makes people still proud of their homeland countries. Korea is 99% Korean so no rascial problems. And if US didn’t supply S.Korea with weapons, Kim Jong in would already be your leader.
America has great healthcare. But the question is: is it accessible?
It really depends on where you are and your insurance. I had Medicaid get me into surgery in less than 2 months and I didn't pay for it being poor. That being said, I lived in a state that funded it well.
I make 80k, and my insurance is about $83/paycheck. I pay $1600 for a deductible. The most I pay for expenses is $5000/yr. They give me $1400 into a bank account for that though. It's better than some folks and I'm lucky. My PCP and therapy visits are free. Derm was free too, psych, blood tests. A lot of my drugs were free when the insurance started kicking in... But again, you need that good plan for it to be worth while. I'm very, very lucky.
America has the best medical care in the world.
So the problem is that it is only available to the richest people in the world...😂
@@1nsertTitleHerelmao you're getting scammed and you're grateful
It's only accessible for those who can afford health insurance. Many working poor and foreigners in the US are left out.
My State of California will be giving Free medical to undeserving Illegal Alien migrants, Liberals in my state are causing prices to rise for hard working class citizens that actually need it for value prices.
As a Korean we always appreciate and support our big brother, the USA ✊
More like puppets or lapdogs.
@hanguginuiyeoldeunggam 🤣🤣u won't be alive if it wasn't for US.🤡
@@IamHandsome4uyes. U s is a war hungry country , unfortunately. Europe, Japan, South Korea all are America's dogs.
US is not your brother. They are Korea's Master
@@sara.cbc92hi chinese.
Bro the guy with the white jacket knows what he's talking about. He steadily turned every single negative or positive question into an objective observation. He understands that either positive or negative, they are simply propaganda.
That dude's an SNU student. Enough said.
I feel South Korea and Japan are two of the most protected countries under the United States's security umbrella. If any of them were attacked its hard to see the US not dropping most other conflicts to focus on them.
well 40% of US military bases are stationed there.
I hope US can get South Korea and Japan to get along.
israel - hold my beer
From what I’ve seen, SK is trying hard to mend ties with Japan. They are willing to let go the WW2 atrocities.
Nope. They are being used as proxies just like Ukraine to maintain their hegemony. They broke Korea into two.
Love South Korea from the US 🇺🇸🇰🇷

we have a lot of koreans in America
@@user-vd9pf6pu3o Nah, I like K-pop and Korean history. I read about it in school often, ancient Korean history is pretty interesting.
@@user-vd9pf6pu3o Doesn't K pop stand for Korean Pop?
@@user-vd9pf6pu3o Isn't it sung by Koreans? Also isn't it sung in the Korean language?
Korean people's views of the US tend to be of longing and a fantasy. The truth is, drugs, violence and a low quality of education, foods, and social services are just some of the big problems in the US. This is coming from someone who has lived in both countries.
Whatever problems in SK, they are 10x worse in the US...and there has been a lot of projection lately of US problems onto SK.
As a Norwegian who has studied in the US and China, I have to agree
@@Drownedinblood I once asked a Korean how does he differentiate between a Chinese person and Korean? He said frankly, "Oh, we look better". ^^
True, seeing US destroying itself from inside are quite astounding. Id rather visiting Turkey, Japan or South Korea
As an American, this is indeed true. Most states in the US has poor education regarding the world 🌎. I'm 30 years old, and I constantly think to myself that I should relearn everything again, starting at 6th grade and up. So much has changed. I miss school. Can't afford college, so the internet is my school now.
We stand with Korea 🇰🇷🇺🇸
2024 is not about who America stands with. It's about who the f' would want to stand with America.
No
Nice but i do not think they want their country where you can carry a gun everywhere and maybe one day at school, the classes become like a Call of duty battlefield with no chance of respawn
Yes, they are yours to keep and own lol

You're right. We think in the same way about Your country - I'm from the EU member state (Poland).
당연히 전자. 후자 택하는 놈들은 모조리 북송 중송해야
They all had good and valid points. I most definitely think US would help Korea if a war break out. The US has been allies with Korea for years. Yes the US, my home can be dangerous, and more dangerous than Korea. I still think we are the most powerful, but we lack in taking care of our own US citizens, in regards to healthcare, education, homelessness, jobs, economy. The government is screwed up so bad to the point that we honestly look like clowns here in the States. I'm glad that some Koreans see us in a positive light, but we have a lot of work to do here.
The mindset of Americans are not on the same page as Asians. When Kim and Trump were having heated exchanges, many Americans notably Caucasians and seemingly distant were calling for an attack and even nuking North Korea without a care of surrounding populations impacted. It was quite a contrast to East Asians whom were not in favor of war in the region. It's a generalization but this what was observed.
@@downtomars6268Crowd control basically
@@downtomars6268Huh?! What Americans were calling for nukes? You can't just make stuff up or take the words of a few idiots and generalize a population with words like 'many'. Where did you find this info? You gotta be a misinformation bot.
@@downtomars6268you do realize, we always called for nukes? But it never happens. Only reason NK doesn’t attack is bc of deterrence. Kim know he can’t win against us, we have to remind him.
@@matthewsnow6317 Not making it up, seen enough public discussions to say there are opposing biases and Westerners lean to war, often not in the interest of neighboring countries or peoples. The U.S. leadership Trump discussed using nukes on North Korea and blaming it on another country. Not the first time America targets East Asia for nukes. MacArthur planned to use 34 atomic bombs on Korea, China; prior we know what happened to Japan. Practically never hear such talk on other countries.
It seems that the people interviewed made an effort not to appear biased in the public video.
As a Korean, I don't think I've ever seen anyone who worries about China and the United States.
Feelings toward China are closer to hate, and feelings toward the United States are closer to love.😂
The feeling is not mutual lol. Koreans are definitely not as loved in the States as you would assume.
@@sara.cbc92yes they are, Koreans dominate in major cities where as jpneze are barely even noticed 😂
@@sara.cbc92
Why are Japanese otakus representing Americans' positions?
Don't you realize how much people in America hate it when other people talk about themselves?
@@BondiBeache Imagine getting triggered by facts lol. Cry harder 😊

No matter what controversies U.S. is facing nowadays, they have supported us survive through our darkest times in our history. That alone merits our greatest trust. 🇺🇸🇰🇷
Until Trump tries to pull out US troops from South Korea and turns a blind eye on North Korean belligerence. The reality is far from “happily ever after”. Kim Jungeun is already testing the waters to see how he reacts.
뭐 결혼식은 못가도 장례식은 가라는 말이 있는것처럼 힘들때 도움받은것은 설령 정치적인 이득으로 우리를 도와주었을지라도 매우 감사한 일이네요
Well, some countries can tell totally opposite
@@ghepardogts essentially, South Korea is paying US protection fees. Let's see how much Trump will increase this fee if he returns to power.
@@sara.cbc92Trump handed jp a trade deal that humiliated the japnese because jp can't stand up for itself. 😅
Thanks!
as a korean new zealander, i see alot of ppl calling korean brainwashed for liking USA or supporting usa when they are supporting israel for genocide in gaza or making genocides around the world . but i think this mindset should stop because everyone has their own opinions. there are 7 billions people around the world and i dont get why ppl are forcing or criticising how other people think especially when they have own diff opinions.
personally, usa has alot of issues such as shootings and also political issues such as withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan etc and US government made alot of bad mistakes but still it was USA that defended south Korea during the korean war and still continues to defend until today by having 30000 troops in south korea and 50000 in japan. if it wasnt for usa, then south korea would be under north korean rule which means no kpop, no kdrama, no kbeauty, no freedom/democracy, nothing. all the things that foreigners love about sk wouldn't exist today if usa didnt defend sk. despite all the problems that usa has made, majority of koreans have good image bec of it. also alot of them enjoy pop music and movies. its important that u differentiate politics with culture. even tho many korean dislike japanese government, it doesnt mean we should hate Japanese people or culture. theres alot of korean ppl that enjoy japanese culture such as anime or manga.
so any people that forcing Korean to think the way they should is closeminded. its important to be open minded, accept other opinions and also mind your own business. if you dont like what u see then dont watch it.
even i prefer peace between israel and Palestine. i dont want innocent ppl to die just because of relationship between two government so i dont support israel as well bec of genocide.
P.S don't bother writing any negative comments bec I'm not gonna read it, if u don't like it then move on
No one cares what you think. And no one will read your sob story lol
news flash. the US doesn't give 2 shats about korea. it didn't then, it doesn't now. back then it was to stop the spread of communism so that they can spread their capitalism. nowadays, it is to maintain military supremacy in asia in order to contain china. korea and japan are nothing but pawns and launch pads for their military. they will abandon korea just like they did in vietnam, afghanistan, and in the very near future, ukraine.
Too long to read. Use chatgpt to summarize
No kbeauty 😂
So, in a way, break all friend relations with USA? And maybe make the Americans realize they never had friends?
Aa an American, I can already see that coming. The nation's losing more friend relations than it thinks it's not. But hey, what's it going to do to the citizens anyways?
The country's citizens will never find out about losing friends outisde their country, because the government will not want that info to leak.
If u read korean comments in Korean news, u can see that how strong the anti-China sentiment is in Korea.
I suppose they don't understand the geopolitic, but it doesn't matter China doesnt care anyway.
You think the Chinese care?
No they don’t
Not surprised considering the U.S. military has occupied S. Korea longer and used more Korean “Comfort Women” than the Imperial Japan.
@@LollipopLopcorrect we don’t. We have bigger fish to fry.
Yeah so get out the comments ya virus spreaders.
Koreans have always done well in the USA. It's tougher now all over, but if you are young and have energy and health you can still do well.
Not just Koreans, Chines and any other asians
Yes a lot of Asians do well in the USA. Focusing on family, education, thrift and hard work will go a long way in the USA and most countries.

You should think it through before making comments like this. We are still upset over 1992 when you abandoned us.
@@dnam727Koreans took charge and defended themselves, if it were the japnese then they would have just ran away 😅
@@dnam727 get over yourself. I didn't abandon anyone. I'm giving praise to a group of esteemed people held in reverence by many Americans you chump.
@blackbelt2000 Got nothing to do with the Japanese. In 1992, we lost everything. All these white conservatives watched those "rooftop korean" videos and all of a sudden love us and use us for their agendas, especially when they bring up riots. But in reality, they caused the riots, then abandoned us, didn't honor our insurances, and didn't march with us downtown in the aftermath.
SARANGHAE FROM THE USA
We never forget the great help from US after the war. There is Korean sayung, if you forget the gratefulness, you are not even an human.
No matter how US is doing some controversial things, the fact they have helped us and fought for us never changed.
Thank you brother ❤❤❤
Thats what im saying. I mean look. Imagine if America did nothing in korea, its would be ALL north korea or just China! Terrifying thought!
Koreans know best how China and the US have treated Korea throughout history. Why do non-Koreans force us to like or dislike which country?
Apparently Koreans like you don't.
We are trying to wake you up to the reality of the American Empire.
The fact that the US was spying on your government and your government said it wasn't true.
The fact that your people committed war crimes in vietnam Basically functioning as the sacrificial lamb of the Americans. As you well know, after American troops, Koreans were the most heavily present in Vietnam.
The fact that your chip industry is suffering because the US is forcing. You not to sell to China and you agree. Not because it's in the best interests of your people, but because you must obey the American master.

Question to the channel team, how wide was the range of people you approached? In terms of area, age, etc… And do you say what channel it is before asking questions? How many interviews was left out after editing?
Yeah, I want more older people opinions, like around 40 woman.
No need, South Koreans are the type of people who believe the more good looking you are, the more talented and better person you're. If you're beautiful in South Korea, everyone will look up to you. But God forbid you're ugly, then even after having enormous talent, you're fcked up. It's better to stay away from such nation.
The older will be more nagative and the result will not change either in other places
It’s sad when people very eager to answer the question, but when you ask “why” - they stumble. Humans have to be more conscious in daily life, and use critical thinking more often.
It's bc they are brainwashed with Us agenda.
Uh... ok
True
Lol whom are you telling. I literally saw South Koreans fighting with Japanese a few comments above on who the US loves the most. The South nor Japan has any national pride left in them. The South Koreans and Japanese believe the more good looking you are, the more intelligent and kind you're. If you're not that good looking in South Korea, your life's finished. Because no matter how talented you are, the people will always look down on u. No wonder the US brainwashed them so easily.

수많은 구독자를 보유한 아시안보스 채널에겐 미안한 이야기이지만, 질문의 수준이 정말 떨어진다고 생각합니다.
한반도의 역사는 수천년간 언어, 문화, 역사적으로 중국을 이야기하지 않고는 이야기할 수 없습니다. 그러나 한국전쟁 이후로는 상황이 역전되고있죠.
미국의 문화, 음악, 음식, 경제, 군사 부분에서 미국의 영향이 계속적으로 커져가고 있죠.
왕이 부장이 그런 말을 했습니다. "한국, 일본이 무엇을 하더라도 결코 서양인이 될 수 없다." 라고요.
네, 맞습니다. 한국은 뭘해도 서양인이 될 수도 없고, 그렇게 되고싶어하지도 않습니다. 그러나 확실한 것은 중국이 주변국에게 행사하는 정치, 군사적인 압력은 중국의 주변국들로 하여금 갈수록 멀어지게 만들고 있는 것이 현실입니다. 미국-필리핀 동맹 강화, 한국-미국-일본 삼각공조, 영국-일본-이탈리아 동맹 등 이러한 정책에 동의하던 동의하지 않던간에, 현재 일어나고 있는 현실이라는 겁니다. 시간이 갈수록 중국은 가깝지만 먼 나라, 미국은 멀지만 가까운 나라가 되어가는 것이 한국인들의 정체성의 변화라고 생각합니다.
정말 안타까운 부분이라 봅니다. 해외여행을 가거나, 외국으로 어학연수를 나가보면 정말 많은 중국인, 일본인들과 교류할 기회가 있습니다. 같은 동아시아인이라서그런지 결국 외국에서 마주치는 동아시아인들끼리는 꽤 잘 지내는 편이죠. 한국이나 외국에서 마주치는 중국 유학생들은 꽤 괜찮습니다. 확실히 상하이나 베이징, 선전, 청두같은 대도시에서 오는 부유층들이 많기때문인지는 모르겠지만, 겸손하고 친절하고 외향적인 사람들이 많습니다. 그래서 더욱 안타까워요. 인종적으로 꽤 가까운 관계임도 불구하고, 중국의 주변국에 대한 공격적인 외교때문에 갈수록 불편해지는 상황이 연출되고 있죠.
지금 우리가 살고있는 시대는 유튜브, 인스타그램, 페이스북, 트위터 등 그야말로 소셜미디어 그 자체로 도배되어 있는 세상입니다. 예전에는 정치와 민간영역은 구분해서 생각을 하곤했지만, 이제는 모든 국제뉴스를 전세계의 모든 사람이 실시간으로 공유할 수 있는 시대에 살고 있습니다. 한 나라의 외교정책이나 영향력이 민간의 영역까지 영향력을 행사하는 시대인거죠. 전세계인이 바라는 것은 중국이 합리적인 대화를 했으면 한다는 것입니다. 한국이 미국을 더 가깝게 느낀다고 불편해할 것이 아니라, 진정 친구가 되길 원한다면 열린대화를 해야한다는 것이죠. 싫다면 어쩔수 없는거고요.
해마다 중국에서 한국으로 오는 유학생의 숫자는 어마어마합니다. 한국에서 아이돌을 하고싶어하는 사람들도 많구요. 한국으로 귀화를 시도하는 중국인들의 숫자도 엄청납니다. 중국분들은 이미 잘 알고 있습니다. 한국에서 정상적으로 생활하는 중국인들에게는 우리는 잘해줍니다. 한국의 규칙을 잘 지키고, 민감한 부분을 건드리지 않는 이상 인간관계에서는 크게 문제될 것은 없습니다.
다만 불법체류자 문제나 보이스피싱, 스미싱, 첨단기술탈취 시도와 같은 각종 범죄와 관련한 것들에 대해서는 굉장히 민감해하죠. 주변국들의 국민들이 왜 이러한 생각을 하게되는지 중국분들이 스스로 한번쯤 생각해보셨으면 좋겠습니다.
You kept describing Chinese diplomatic ways as “aggressive”, so may I ask why do you think that? Is it the image you got from news ? We don’t have any military base in any Asian countries but the US does. We have borderline dispute with neighbor countries but all false are on China? I know all countries that are allies of the US tend to think negatively towards China, is it a coincidence? We will never invade any countries unlike the US, so why are we the bad guy😅
你说的这些什么非法移民blabla这些问题80，90年代就不存在吗？但是为什么那个时候中韩关系比现在好得多？因为那个时候中美关系好，你们韩国只能跟随美国，这就像美国要求日韩友好一样，你们就不得不去做，即便日本从未道歉，即便日韩也存在领土争议，即便日韩也存在历史遗留问题......只要是美国要求的，韩国哪怕丧权辱国也要去做,道理就这么简单！越是对美国依赖多的国家，对中国的敌意越大，同样是有美国军事基地的国家菲律宾对中美的态度就是50/50，新加坡甚至对中国好感度更高这就是差距，中韩关系的改善恰恰不能靠中韩对话解决，日韩关系本质上是靠美国的命令而改善，这个事实已经给了我们答案了。
我说这些难听的话，没用讽刺你们的意思，因为这些本质上是中国实力不足的问题！当年美国在韩国部署THAAD的时候，你们说韩国夹在中美之间不得不这样做，这我可以理解，但是现在你一味的指责中国，说什么侵略性外交，那我请问美国的外交在你眼中是什么样的？是和平，谦虚，友善的吗？很多韩国人对美国的美好幻想已经到了美国人需要在评论区澄清的地步了，这太有意思了，希望你们能去看看Asian Boss采访菲律宾和新加坡的视频，相似的问题，他们的回答至少有更多想法

It seems that the average Korean being interviewed on the street is both a lot more well informed on current events and more politically astute than the average American you would stop on the street.
Thats a joke 😂
But still thinks uncle sam will protect them against China, just like Ukraine taught about the US against Russia.
I enjoyed that, very enlightening ty😊
💙💙💙 ... Long live South Korea ... !!! ... Greetings from Miami ... !!!
The guy in the white jacket knows what he is talking about.
Fair. Following the boss who appreciate your value even only from perspective of interest is always the right choice in life.
Aren't you guys going to do a street interview regarding the doctors' strike going on in SK? At least 10,000 junior doctors are currently on strike, and even the medical professors are thinking about joining too. That should be a huge concern for any SK citizen.
Soley because of the ignorant and evil government here.
That is because the current president is a big fat jerk
Everything is always perfect when your life is good. The moment you're in trouble, nobody is interviewing you again. Health care is a disaster in the us. Poverty, drugs, alcohol, psychological problems, food/obesity/diabetes, prison slaves, factory farming/animal abuse, foreign policies that many times in history ruined whole countries (north and south korea divided).
we HAD to STOP communism.
Some of the best health care in the world is in the USA. The problem is it not being super accessible due to high insurance costs. There's high regulations on farming and raising animals for food or other uses that does not allow this so called "abuse" you speak of. North and South Korea are divided because one side wanted freedom and the other wanted slaves and absolute control. I do agree that the opioids are a big issue in the US. As far as poverty goes, there are poor people in all countries. But the US has social programs like cash aid, food stamps, section 8, hud and other programs to help people. Which most countries do not have. Most of the stuff you talk about are things that news stations spread false info about around the world. I can almost think you're not even American which means you shouldn't spread rumors about stuff on an country you're not even apart of or know anything about. If you are American, you need to get out of that bubble you're in and go and learn something about the US before spreading false claims and lies on the internet. Just a thought!
@@douknow57Just don't sent your children to school their. They'll become confuse about their gender and the teacher will start the gender transition surgery without informing you. If you try to object against it, the government will arrest you, just like they did recently with father of a 13 year old. I have relatives living in Brooklyn for 20 years. The situation is really not good. The government is trying whatever they can to completely control the lives of their citizens. The US is one of the most obese country in the world. The food companies are producing more and more processed food. There's no government regulation to stop it as far as I know. The sugar amounts in food products are also not controlled. Most of the insurance company tries to avoid giving out as much money as possible. The US is just a playground for the rich now, nothing else.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
Everyone you interviewed was thoughtful and gave well-informed and intelligent answers. There is no doubt in my mind that we will defend the Republic of Korea if they are attacked. It won't matter how many other conflicts we are involved in. We will have enough forces to defend the ROK.
at 9:50, "how important do you think the US is as a Korean ally?" - for South Korea, its their lifeline. for US, strategic importance and simply no romance (like a tool)
The disconnect between the Koreans interviewed and what appears on US-based media is very revealing. The relationship between the US and South Korea is transactional. The US offers a military presence, and Korea sends the US goods and KPop. Americans have no interest in visiting Korea, and neither do other countries, though China has the most tourists which can be verified by the Korean Tourism Organization.
The man who actually lived in the US as a student has the most realistic view. While he does not elaborate he mentions the skewed image of the US in Korean media, the economy, and the election. It would be interesting to ask specifically about how Koreans view American politics. Would they be shocked at the length of campaigns, the amount of money spent, and the current choices for president?
I was born in the US but I don't recognize the country that it has become. The open grifting and lies spewed by national politicians and the dysfunctional justice system portend a second civil war and the end of the Empire.
idk how they aren't embarrassed by this.

Was that experience transactional? Perhaps. As an engineer, I'd argue that all interactions can be viewed as transactional, so that statement probably isn't as negative as you think it is ... unless you think one group of people has some inherent right to other people and their stuff.
As far as US politics, you probably have a point.

Drugs aren't just an issue inside the USA... Cartels from other countries actually ship their drugs into USA as well. Mexico, Columbia and China as a few examples. I pray one day this has an end for our nations sake.

Drugs are made for medical use but are abused upon arrival by recipient.
Westerners will smoke anything they can get, doesn't matter where it comes from, Those countries you mention don't have this drug culture.

@@silveriver9That's true for some drugs, but it's also true that precursors and drugs themselves are smuggled into the country intentionally for illicit sales and distribution
@doughvahkiin2885 what you mention are bad actors whom sell on to the end user. I'm highlighting that it is wrong to point finger at China as the post is doing. China simply manufactures substances for medical use for export. Bad actors overseas gets their hands on it once it leaves China. China domestically doesn't have a drug problem.

Just like every other country🤦♂️

Why does it feel like the fate of the world is in US' shoulders? Why not Europe, or India, or Africa? I understand a lot of things happened to get us where we are.. and I guess I need to cling to some myth too
Hope more Korean can realize whether US is helping Korea or using Korea for their own benefit...

It's fine if he is saying those things while being completely uninformed and untouched about what the US is doing to the people of Gaza, Iraq, Syria. But if he knows everything and still says he takes it positively because it's US doing, than it will only prove that his body is filled with bloods of warmongers and evils

Koreans know a lot more about how deeply the two nations are intertwined than the average American for sure.

Add in Vietnam, Philippines and a few more friends and its a strong neighborhood. God Bless peace, freedom and prosperity in this key region of the world.
Healthcare and safety is always a constant revolving door here in the USA. As for the Cost of Healthcare yes its expensive, but people need to remember: South Koreas population is 51.6 Million.. the USA is 332.2 Million and growing about 1 million every year or two
our biggest issue is our politics. Its so.... polarized right now that nothing positive is being done to move forward..

As an American, with the state that our country is in. I would move to South Korea in a heartbeat. My take on why so many American chains are going to Korea is because that way Koreans can have what the Americans have without the dangers of American. And honestly I don’t blame them. Shoot. Now of course for me I would not be eating at those places if I was I Korea just because I really love Korean food so much. Maybe I’ll eat at the American chains once in a blue moon. Just my opinion.
Most Koreans are pro-US, but left-wing nationalist are more critical of the US. They preferred to remove US troops from Korea in exchange for Korea having its own nuclear weapon.
Korean right wing conservative prefer both USA and Japan. Korean liberal prefer USA, but not Japan. My personal observation
most of these people need to wake up and watch how american politicians have always treated others, allies and others. crazy blindness and deafness.
They know how Chinese politicians have treated others
At least for Korea, the relationship with the United States has never been bad. It was always good. That's fact.
