    I'm Korean, but I don't know since when did it become a Korean culture to make noise when eating noodles and food. I was also taught by my parents to eat without making a sound when eating, and I was told to eat without making a sound when eating in the old traditional education.

      According to the genetic test I took, some people are actually genetically predisposed to be bothered by the sound of other people eating. To me, this is like telling someone to stop breathing loudly. Just deal with it.

      No, I was taught to not talk when eating, but in terms of making sounds like slurping noodles or soups, absolutely it was all good! Making sounds regarding the eating of various foods, Koreans traditionally felt not only was it a natural part of eating, but in fact a good manner to make a good show of it for the one who cooked.

    I'm Korean and I'm not OK with people spitting on the ground either. I think it's very disgusting and ill-mannered. I hope there's a law making street spitting illegal and fine them. There's tones of Korean people feel like me.
    In general, most people are aware of bad stuff in their home country although that's seen very common and normal in their country. it's just the way it used to be so it's hard to change on the country level. Just because it's something you are used to see, doesn't mean you can approve it.
    We Koreans feel uncomfortable with many things such as wild driving, trash littering, not having all sorts of social manners, buses not stopping at bus stops, having to stand up befor buses stop to get off, illigal parking, lacking of parking spaces, ill-conditioned housing, not having trash cans enough, being timid and not smily to strangers, not saying sorry or thank you a lot to strangers in treets, not small talking too, sharing soup with others in one bowl with each one's spoon dipping in it, poor map application system or administration system that are not informing people of extra charges of taxi fare for various reasons like late night or suburb district whatsoever and poor source for that info on related applicstion and not telling about the logic about it, not showing the very next subway station's name on the plate at escalator or stairs so that you can easily and quickly recognize it's direction, not alerting passengers about the subway stop loudly ad repeatedly and not noticeably showing the stop's name everywhere while the subway is stop at the station opening the door, etc. It can go on an on.
    We also get very much bothered and want it to change like all the time. I think it's the same thing in any other countries. Everyone has their country's own downside and they already know it well and acknowledge it.

      And yet foreigner say that korean in korea have no expression on their faces and even in europe, they make mean faces to strangers.
      East asian are generally cold and never smile to strangers so I dont understand you lying about it. Clealry the majority of you have no problem woth it.The only asian who are warm at first contact are southeast like filipino. With chinese being the most rude and impolite but I'm used to it as I grew up in their community. The robot stereotype of east asian didnt came out of nowhere.

    • @ariel2jieun
      @ariel2jieun Před 10 měsíci +3

      @olkdks I know! I cannot agree with you more and that's what I'm talking about. I don't understand why you are thinking I'm lying. I'm saying the same thing. The important point I was trying to say is that all sorts of common things around us, regardless big or small, that seemingly most of us are so used to so that we don't seem to have no problem with, does not mean we have no idea it's a bad or unreasonable thing or don't feel comfortable with it. I totally agree that mostly east Asians are cold, timid, not smily and I always realllllly hated that. And also agree with that south east asians being nice and much more smily and confident in the way talk, behave, dance and treat strangers too. That's actually one of the things I've alwas thought of too. I understand you cound easily think that we are OK with it and we are not aware of it but you know, actually it is not! If you really get to talk with people about it, mostly they already know it well and even often bothered by it like me although they behave like they don't know.
      A lot of time, in any place of the globe, the social environment impacts you much more than original yourself. It's really hard and takes long time for an individual to change the society but society instantly change the way individuals behave in a moment. It's just that there's stuff you are not happy with but it's been the way it is and not easily change. We Koreans also don't understand why Koreans only steal bicycles not phones and laptops, why don't start a small talk when deep down we are really in for it and wanna care and help others. And toooo shy to dance the way we feel from very young age. Speaking of age, age is a huge factor that affects almost everything in the way we meet people and live our lives here. And of course, like I sad, we Koreans hate that so much!
      Surely there are many pros of Korea that I love and find very efficient. And also those can be things that's not common in other countries on the other hand. Nothing is to be taken for granted. I really hope and want Korea to improve all the cons and keep bettering itself even though that's gonna take a long time. So I'm trying my best to be smily and cooperative with strangers (but not nosy) and always hold doors for people behind me. I contact administrative department asking for improvement when I go through some kinds of uncomfortable or unreasonable operation.

      I'm a Korean man who lived all over the world and here are some things I noticed about Korea compared to other countries.
      Pros:
      - Fast internet
      - Everything is in proximity (grocery store, coffee shop, pc room, motel, gym, etc...)
      - World class work ethic (post-Korean war growth)
      - Food is amazing and healthy
      - Affordable and great healthcare system
      - People are generally respectful and direct
      Cons:
      - Education system (a dystopian factory producing slaves for the chaebols)
      - Work = your life and self worth
      - Age & workplace hierarchy (basically ass-kissing disguised as "respect")
      - Alcoholism
      - High suicide rate and stigmatization towards the mentally ill
      - Conscription (necessary yes, but the way soldiers are treated is not acceptable, source: I was one.)
      - Sexism towards women
      - Racism towards brown and black people.
      - No public awareness (spitting, shouting across the room, chewing with mouth open)
      This is just my perspective after living here for 5+ years.

    Hi @KExplorer, I’ve been a subscriber and avid watcher of your content which I love for quite some time. I’ve recently taken upon myself to study Hangul and Korean culture overall as I hope to visit within the next couple of years. I am not looking to move there I just want to visit and practice Korean for a few months.
    I’ve seen a few videos of harassment, stalking and SA towards foreigners and I was wondering whether you could make a video asking people about their experiences and perhaps what to avoid etc, as I haven’t seen topics like these among your content.
    This is a huge issue for me that will determine whether I go there or not because, for what I’ve seen thus far, foreigners who do report it are not taken serious or bluntly ignored. Or police and bystanders will simply not do anything.
    Thanks for the amazing content! ❤

I live in America & my mom has never, not reminded me of the cultural shocks she has with Americans even after living here for 30 years lol. One main thing is the separation of trash.Actually due to my mom I separate my trash in Los Angeles down to my food scraps lol i'm laughing, I am proud of my tri-cultural background, being fully immersed with the language as well. I know it's rare since it's polar opposite cultures allowing me to expand in mind-frame. Loving these videos, they just place a smile on my face to see through the lenses of foreigners.

    From April to May this year, the South Korean police cracked down on illegal activities at 225 restaurants in Busan, resulting in the arrest of 11 restaurants that were involved in illegal activities.
    Of these, eight stores reused leftover food from the previous customer and served it to the next customer.
    Every year in South Korea, there are constant news reports about restaurants being caught for reusing leftover side dishes.
    You may think that 225 stores have been investigated and only 8 stores have been exposed, which is less than you thought, but the reality is that this is simply not known.
    It seems that there are actually more.
    In the end, even if the restaurant reuses the leftover side dishes, it is of course hidden so that it will not be found out, and it is quite difficult for the Korean police to expose it.
    In fact, at the beginning of 2021, the Gyeonggi-do police conducted a simultaneous survey of restaurants in the area, but as a result, there were 0 restaurants that reused side dishes.
    But when I asked people who run restaurants in the same area, they said openly, "I know a restaurant that reuses leftover side dishes."
    I have often seen people who used to work at cafeterias reuse leftover side dishes.
    There are many such stories behind the scenes. In other words, it is common in South Korea to re-offer leftover side dishes, even though they have not been caught.
    It's a known fact in the industry or something like that.
    Therefore, the police who investigated it were virtually impossible to catch the re-offering of leftover side dishes on the spot.
    If you have to rely on whistleblowing from customers and employees, you're raising a white flag that it's impossible to crack down.
    Korea is a scary society. By the way, you say reuse & re-offer, but in what form is it reused?
    There are various methods they use, some simply put the leftover side dishes on another plate and serve them again as a new side dish to another customer.
    On the other hand, there are restaurants that throw away most of the leftovers but only reuse kimchi.
    Another restaurant uses leftover kimchi as an ingredient in a soup dish called kimchi jjigae.
    This case will be processed if it is used as an ingredient for soup, so it will be difficult to tell if the leftovers were reused.
    Not money laundering, but Kimchi laundering… When we think about it, it can be said that the Korean police did their best to seize eight stores in such a situation.

With 6K of our money you could buy either one good laptop or pay 6 rents of a small appartment near a soccer field.
