![Culture Shock In Korea [Seoul hunters]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/IQTpQMVBkcQ/mqdefault.jpg)
i like how all of them are just simple cultural mistakes that you understand and then theres the random cult people trying to take your money story
Cydney Bibbs 😂😂 ikr..that was so out of the blue
Cydney Bibbs is not Just a randoms story, there are a lot of cults in korea
Yeah lmao but true the cults is a thing and basically religious scammers
My mom is married with a American guy. So I had my friend on my room studying. So my friend had his arm around my neck and I had my hand on his leg. We Always sit like that because we are friends. Then my my steph-dad came up with some water. He looked at us, left the water and Went out. When my friend went home I had to sit down 3 hours with my seph-dad and explain to him i'm not gay
LMAO
I'm laughing so hard omg xD
Chris #starboy 😂😂😂
😂
LOL... he probably was in shock when he left that room. lol
So koreans get confused when they get hugged to quickly and americans when koreans touching. Interesting 🙂
I'd rather have the shinship personally I find hugs a but suffocating...
it should be boy to boy/girl to girl skinship. not opposite sex unless you're a couple.
Its just different lol but I find korean skin ship really cute and pure honestly
TheKatzenabbort hmm? Never thought about it before...
Elsie Felizardo no it shouldn't but it is
the whole eye contact thing with the waiters. LMFAOO. so true.
Damn, I definetly knew something is up everytime I see hugging scenes in Korean Dramas 😂😂😂 I thought it was just the director’s fault or something because sometimes when they hug in kdramas, girls definetly leave their hands on their sides. 😂 still cute though.
Kristel Magdael OMG SAME! It’s like every time
Kaylee stbtbtb IKR! 😭
Lol same
and the kisses be like horrible😶 its just a peck tbh
3:30 when you literally just wanted to Netflix & Chill
I watch a lot of reactions to kpop and things like that and a lot of westerners first assume that Korean guys are gay because they are so comfortable touching and also that guys compliment each other way more...like saying they're handsome or have a good body. I'm American and personally hate hugs unless someone asks me first, but I definitely know people who hug every time they meet or leave
lelmDR.WHO? most of guy in my country hate K pop because they think all kpop group members are gay. Even i explained them that skinship between men is a korean culture they still can't accept it. The worst part is, most of them called me a weirdo because i love k pop song, even the singer are soloist. they just hate about all the things related to kpop. this is not fair.
I know this is random but the hug mistake reminded me about the black girl hugging Taehyung and how akward was him
Then didn't he go and hug a woman and this guy was like "umm...that's my wife" lol
I was just thinking about this too lol
Later that same girl at the MV shooting was totally messing with him when she blew a kiss and he ran away. Poor Tae was so innocent back then... Lol! I think the girl thought it was cute that he was so shy. How could she not though... he was adorbs.
Jessica C lol that was Jungkook who ran away not Tae
Ah thanks, that makes more sense for Jungkook's personality. The clip I watched said it was V so I didn't question it. I guess either way that girl was having too much fun flirting with the shy boys!
good vid. but background music too loud.
Thanks for comment! I will lower the volume next time baited je!
The old men holding hands!!!! That's so strange to see but I love it.
i wish american guys would be like korean guys about that skin touching thing. i think its so nice that they show affection to their friends
Same! If a boy even accidentally touched his friend like on the back or something they'd be like "bruh are you gay?" I've actually witnessed that with my brother and his friends. They all teased him after that...
One thing I've noticed watching a lot of Korean content is that Korean people when they are with close friends are really warm and concerned about each other. Westerners can be nice too of course but looking at my Australian culture in contrast because we are so individualistic you have to always keep stock of those around you even if they are people you are friendly with. It's easy for friends to fall out, or even for people to get so hurt by others they decide not to be open any more for long periods of time if they are sensitive. Koreans seem to keep friends for a long time, so they must find it easier to resolve conflicts? Just learning about the culture from afar so I could be off base.
Jessamine Gibb yeah that's so true, here in England we have close friends but we're not THAT close. Like we are quite closed off tbh 🤷🏽♀️
I feel like you have to keep in mind that a lot of the k-pop groups we watch have been together since they were trainees. So they've already known each other for a long time and are forced to dorm together and promote together. You'll notice that the older k-pop groups aren't typically as close or warm to each other, and that's why a lot of them have disbanded recently. Miss A was pretty infamous for having member issues. EXO was the same, and at one point they wanted to give up and disband. I feel like you can't generalise based off what you see online because korean media content is scripted, and they have an obligation to promote their group in a positive light.
JNatalie - I agree 100% re kpop a lot of what we see is just fan service type stuff and they are strongly encouraged to seem cute and innocent and for Koreans skinship is childlike and innocent I think. Kpop is a world of fantasy to a large extent. I was speaking more about non-kpop content like serious films, and yes films are films not reality, but a countries art does convey their culture. If you look at films made by my country you will see different themes and people behaving differently toward each other. Also I'm referring to factual content about Korean culture like educational videos about how to behave in Korea.
Yes I saw this video where they talk about the friend ship between Koreans and westerners. They said that in Korea they value one small group of people and actually try to get to know them as deeply so they can be comfortable and that's the mentality of a korean vs westerners who rather have a hug circle that are connected to other circle of friends and their mentality is "I can make other friends" rather than keeping the ones they have and also their mentality is a bit distrusting on both parties so they are careful on what they choose to tell one another and if both people are like that then there will always be that trust barrier
I'm guessing that touchy skin ship that Koreans have help a lot more than you think. Some people need that friendship affection to actually feel you trust them and it warms my heart tbh. Its like saying "if you trust me as a friend then prove it" and makes you and the other person feel trusted and comfortable and used to it.
When you showed the picture of a young Logan, I understood why your canadian friend felt the need to ask :'D fun video to watch :)
THE CULT THING HAPPENED TO ME TOO. I had an exam the next day and they were like "it'll only take 20mins" so I said alright. Took 3 freaking hours. The dude kept trying to convince me we had like energy flow through our bodies and that spirits were real and crazy stuff like that. And after, they walked me back to the station and the gate didn't want to open but I wanted to get out of there so bad I jumped over it and booked it out of there. Now I just act bitchy and keep walking.
Amélie This kind of thing sounds so weird, you can find that just in Korea 😂
“This is what friends do” IM SCREAMING
#givesehunmorelines this reminds me of an asian bl drama I watched before where the guy kept saying to his friend "this is what friends do" then the other guy bought it but he was actually gay and used that as an excuse😂😂
F. J. LMAO!!! Do you remember the name of it? It sounds interesting!
This channel is teaching me so much😂 I'm moving to Korea from the us as a high school student so I'm trying to learn as much as possible
good luck! :)
Wow lucky you get to experience it *sigh* I'm graduating this year and not in a regular high school but a reform high school and ill never get to experience it :( I wish you the very best!! ❤🐯
Maddy Lynne lucky!
I work in Sinchon and live in Hongdae and I always encounter the cult people on my way to work. No I know to just ignore them and walk past them. But one of my new workers came in the next day all excited saying she made new friends. She told us exactly what they talked about and we all knew right away it was the cult people. They always talk about some traditional tea ceremony and wearing traditional clothes and always try to drag you.
ooops!
Sara Trejo when I them I instantly knew they were from a cult and I wanted to find out how far they'd go so I followed them, asking every time when they offered something new (cultural experience, wearing hanbok, eating..) I asked if it costs. They said no so I participated. After the ceremony and eating they started to ask about my parents and jobs to 'tell me something about my glorious future' so I said I have to leave.^^ it was interesting but I'd recommend to always be safe and keep your bag close.;)
You guys are living the life. Almost joining cults and stuff.
Wow, I encountered them where I live in Jamsil next to the Lotte World Tower. I had never heard of them before and they approached me speaking perfect English so I was very shocked. They asked me how old I was and if I lived alone and where my house was, which made me feel totally uncomfortable, so I lied. They said we have to take you to a special Korean ceremony that only happens on this day once a year (lunar new year) so you have to come with us right now, and I was like (inside: cult!), definitely not.
Cult ppl ?? Loool
I think Korean men touch each other in a non-sexual way because they don't ever hug one another! I'm convinced people will like hugs if they just relax and enjoy. :D
Catch_Me_If_You_Can It's not true that they don't have gays there. Lol.
Thanks for watching guys! don't forget to subscribe for more video!!
im an american and i still feel super awkward with hugs lol
channie same
I live in Portugal, and here it's so normal to have physical contact with everyone
Everyone says hi with two kisses, one on each side of the face, girls and boys hug frequently when they're friends and it's totally ok, but when two boys have too much contact people start to think they're gay, for example, here two boys don't hold hands and don't get too touchy
I love the fact that Korean men have no issues with skinship. My high school was a lot like that and I'm in America. But there was no gender issues between male and female. We just all loved each other. Guys, girls, everyone would greet with hugs and hang on each other. No one thought anything about sexuality and it wouldn't have mattered either way.
constructive criticism : the background music was a bit too loud so it made it hard to focus on what you boys were saying
coffee time with fate
I agree
"Who's that gay korean guy Logan "😂😂😂
The last part about skinship and all hahaha i totally understand it though
I had 2 young ppl, close to my age, come up to me in Yeongdeungpo, in the underground mall, asking at first about myself and then asking if I'd be interested in a Korean cooking class bc they were hoping to get more foreigners interested. I said sure, bc I loved to cook. They invited me to the next class which was in Yatap, far east of Seoul and like almost 2 hours away from where I live (bc I lived on the west coast of Seoul at the time). I asked my Korean friend to come with me since it was close to where he lived, & low and behold....it was a Christian church. They tricked us and tried getting us to stay through a long church service, telling us the cooking class was after the service. My Korean friend was pissed but I didn't want to be disrespectful so we stayed about 10 min and then after realizing it wasn't going to end soon we left. I was so angry bc it took so much time from me! It was so far! Uhhh never again. Be warned. Cults/crazy religious ppl are everywhere here
Something like hugging is common in America but it also depends on the person. I would never hug anyone unless I'm close friends with them and especially not on any first couple of dates.
Sams or when you get that happy go lucky vibe from a person and you know they like hugs but the thing is I actually like hugs and am very happy go lucky too but when someone "overshines" I feel so miserable and then try to avoid any type of contact with them. I feel like all the energy is being taken away from me so I feel all dead inside
In Norway, the waiter just comes to you sometime while you're looking at the menu or have already put it down. No eyecontact, no calling, they just come.
Yogi Hashtag Interesting. In US, most people would find that annoying, I know I would. The korean way is the most convenient, I wish we had something like that.
Mary G I live in the US and the waiters do that. They give you a certain amount of time and then they'll come over and ask if you're ready to order. If you say no then they'll give you a little bit more time then comeback.
They do that in America too .. idk what he was talking about 😂😂
Sean nearly drops an F bomb --> czcams.com/video/TaEMv0plwtQ/video.html ... nice.
There's a book called "Ugly Koreans, Ugly Americans" by Byoung-chul Min. Highly recommend it. It's hilarious and very informative about the cultural differences between Korean and Western culture.
this was awesome!
i wouldn't mind watching another one of these!
hahaha I really liked this video and laught a lot. I will definitely subscribe. Thumbs up!
Nice video! It was interesting to see the differences between cultures😯
I really have a good time watching your videos Logan, keep doing it! Love from Brazil
Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for this I appreciate you boi 👏🙌
I really loved this video, it's like 1 am and I needed to take a break from studying. Thank youuu
Ymen Hdi bruh same!!!!!!!! Lmfao but i am going to sleep lol health is more important!!!
It's good to know what can be kind of awkward in a foreign culture, cool video
I like watching these kinds of videos because you really see how different people act in other cultures
I do genuinely prefer the Korean culture. I have some Korean family members (mainly through marriage) my cousin married a Korean man. Lovely marriage, now they have two kids. Anyways and the first time I met him he was with one of his friends. His friend had his arm around my now cousin and my cousin had his arm around his side. And I was really confused. So I went to him and was like "aren't you engaged to my cousin." He laughed and explained the who deal. And I've even put that into my daily life with friends. Some of my friends find it weird, others don't. I also had a friend hug me and a different cousin and his family helped raise me (she was Korean as well) so I was particularly raised by a white and Asian family. Hugs were weird. Half my family wanted bows, others wanted hugs. I'd get the two confused and end up hugging the wrong person and bowing to a different person. And ya know you're supposed to respect your elders (even your hyungs and noonas) I was talking to my hyung and the first thing I did was bow. He was very confused. (I call my male friends either hyung or oppa depending on how close I am to them because I'm androgynous I just call my male friends both lol) it's definitely a different life style but it's always fun 😂
I prefer skinship once i’m familiar and close to people, it’s funny because if I don’t know someone I won’t really like them touching me but I’m super clingy with my close friends 😅
I've seen many videos learning about Korea but this video sure gave me some information that I've never heard from anywhere else.
Hahahahahahah. This is so funny!! I had a feeling the skinship would be part of it lol
Actually, I most certainly DO call waitstaff over if they've ignored me a couple times (like, I NEED that coffee refill!)
I didn’t know the cult thing. Learned something new! Thank you!
new subscriber, id love to hug you logan.
Love this video! 😂❤
sean is so right about the waiter contact oml the struggle
*_i love reading the stories of the people in the comments_*
*Crazy lives* ❣️😂
Such cultural differences! It's so interesting!
Wow I didn't know the person I was talking to about a week ago was in a cult(i mean i'll give them the benefit of the doubt but the way they approached me was in the same way they approached Shawn) glad I didn't went with them to the place they want to go. After i got home, i searched their religion then there was this article that says that the group was actually a cult but honestly i don't know what/who to believe. I'm just glad i got to say ‘no’ to their offer 'cause i have a hard time in saying ‘no’ to some people.
This is the first video I watch from this channel..... Quite funny video... But I have 1 thing that really stands out.... Logan, he is kinda cute and he did kinda look like a kpop idol back in the day * now im shy*
as soon as sean started talking about the cult i knew exactly what he was talking about. spent 1 hour with this damn ceremony on my 2nd day in korea -.-
마쉘 sounds stressful o.o
after spending four years on the Internet and not going out much I started to kind of forget my culture xD ik it's stupid but I really started to think like Americans/westerns, me and my friend even stopped hugging or touching in any way, so once I went out (yeah ONCE lmao) I saw a guy laying his head on another guy's lap and I was like wow they're gay af xDD and I can't hold my laugh when I see them holding hands but I'm trying to get used to it again lol
2:16 that's me I look like 20 but I am actually 16 lol 😂
Hahahahaha awesome
The music is too loud but i liked it
Thank you so much 💕
영상 재미있게 봤어요!!
I'm American and I personally don't engage in skin contact most of the time, even with my best friend I'm awkward about it lol. I try to do little things though, for instance, if she puts her legs on my lap while we're on the couch relaxing, I'll try to casually rest my arms on her legs (although I'm still kind of hyper aware 😅). Of course when it comes to family events, I hug my family members easily, but I normally wait to hug someone until I have known them for quite some time.
skinship like that is norm in my country too between guy and guy when they are friends
'Go to jail' got me hard😂😂😂
So funny!😂😂😂
Lol the sound effects 😂😂😂😂
Here in Slovenia you can’t really hug each other unless your like close or a good friend. If your just friends it’s ok to touch each others shoulders or put an arm around each others shoulders but you cant hug, hold hands or so...
How does this channel not have more subscribers
+Farah Bakkali Ikr?
So cute and sweet. Thank you for being honest and true.
I’m at 0:50 and let me just say, I’ve lived in America my whole life, but I don’t like being touched. Don’t .touch.me. Not everyone in America is the same tbh and I think that’s why most people don’t know how to approach others (if you want to closer in any way) because it’s so hard to know what people are and aren’t comfortable with. Wow,America is so diverse in every aspect..
I like the button option for a restaurant!!!
Fun! but the music is too loud
Making eye contact w the waiters is the shit in the America content it self 😂
This is very accurate
Not American but Turkish girl over here. In turkey, its more like korea with the skinship thing. Like me and my friends arms are usually just tangled together or we're holding hands, and ive seen dudes in my class who are like that too(except the hand holding) so idk it doesnt feel too weird to me
accurate!!
I cant hear you guys very well the music :((
Thanks for the comment. I will lower the music volume next time!
Seoul Hunters aww tnx i really like your videos
I've always looked older than my age for some reason which really sucks like I used to get hit on by high school seniors at football games when I was in middle school so now I'm worried that when I'm in Korea people are going to think I'm like in my 30's when I'm 23 😭
The Music is too load. Nice Video !!
really good🙄
BERRROOOOOOO, o cara foi parar em uma religião doidona hahahahhaha
So since they don’t really do hugs that explains why Kim Taehyung was uncomfortable and didn’t know what to do when that one English speaking girl hugged him
I still remember my first day teaching in an international school with a lot of Koreans. I was so distracted and weirded out by how much the boys touched each other hahaha. Now it just seems normal. Thanks for the laughs! Great video.
I live in England and at the restaurant, we normally raise our hand for the waiter but don't say anything and don't rush them or anything. I don't think it's like this all over England though
Nice video
In Tunisia (Arab country) girls hug each other and guys hug each other, but without being gay, just friends, but hugging between guy and girl is pretty rare, only if they are dating for a long time and already confessed the love.
In restaurents, people wait for the eye contact with the server to call him
It was really interesting but the music was a little but too loud I had a hard time understanding sometimes haha
that's sooooo so cute though the ajussi holding hands, kinda wish that was still a thing )':
What’s really annoying is that in America all the guys call guy or girl bestfriends couple goals or lesbian/gay and it gets really annoying.
Hmm so the old guys hold hands just as they r talking? Lol as a westener its hard to wrap my mind around it but i find it heartwarming
My grandma is American and when we're at a restaurant if she needs something she won't wait she will also raise up her hand and say "waiter!". Some of my other family members and friends also do this when we go out to eat. I sometimes get a little embarrassed but then again I just try not to care.
lol new suscriber
Lol.... I love this...
Sooo funny 😂😂😂
The cult part is like the drama « save me » damn
Yea, in Canada, men are still not very accepting of gay men and value personal space. Generally speaking, the U.S and Canada are very similar. Logan has it wrong when it comes to hugs. You can hug family or people you are very close to that you haven't seen in years. But generally speaking, men tend to shake hands. When it comes to a man and a woman, it has to be the girl that initiates the hug. Otherwise, it's probably just as weird as it was for him in Korea.
When it comes to the way restaurants work, waiters get a tip(usually 15% of total bill) for their service. It is seen as EXTREMELY rude not to tip a waiter unless you have a very valid reason regarding their service. I.e they make you wait with the bill for obnoxious amounts of time after you are done eating. There is a table mannerism to indicate you are done eating. You put your knife and fork inside the plate both pointing ahead and adjacent to each other. This is usually taught by parents but if your parents don't know table manners, you can learn them from observing or eating with people who do. Yet Logan here seems to never have learnt it, somehow. This is a horribly annoying system but nonetheless a known custom everywhere in the U.S and Canada.
I will visit South Korea in the future. I wish to see the amazing culture established in your country. Koreans are one of the only remaining nation's where the majority seem's to understand the differences between idea's and reality. They don't just see the "idealistic world values" that so many are trying to implement in the west. Individuals here have too much power and many don't understand the right time or way to use it. It makes me sad that our society is being crippled by stupidity and a lack of culture. Nonetheless, it's a beautiful world. I can't wait to go see your country and learn about it. :D
just the waiter is coming to your table and ask if you are ready in cyprus
The skinship thing was pretty funny but after a while among male friendships in the western world there is also a level of skinship, but it's mostly behind closed doors or only among close friends.
I’m always calling the waiter here in Germany bc they just won’t be coming to serve you if you don’t call them...
폴린한나 after you've closed the menu? Then it's weird...
Funny😅😂
Well, for the age mistake with the girls, not only is it a genetic thing (different races aging “differently”, etc), but it’s also a beauty/makeup standard. American/Western beauty trends generally go for a more defined and mature look, while most Korean looks generally go for a more soft, youthful appearance.
That thing with the waiter is the same in europe...
Is the skin contact thing the same with female's or different?
Hugging is so good though, it’s so warm and fluffy. I’d literally hug anyone tbh
I mean we do the waiter thing in America I do it especially when they just keep walking past ignoring you I'm like EXCUSE ME!! or wave my hand like a crazy person
