✗ About Us
Hey, we are DKDKTV, Danny Kim and David Kim. We’re both two ordinary students who major in media studies and live in Korea. We’ve been making UA-cam videos since 2016 October. We love Kpop and we’re learning and listening to it! We do reactions for Kpop and other music genres as well. Also we both live in Seoul, Korea so we film our daily lives or special days and make them into vlogs as well, known as the ‘Seoul City Vibes’ series. Furthermore we do other random videos and live streaming as well. So please enjoy and give us lots of comments, ideas, feedback and suggestions. Thank you!

fellow ducks !! What's that a fandom name ! React to taeyeon unnie danny and david oppa !! :'D lolololol
i want see ducks vs Sone's ..
M Dope Yes it is.
DKDKTV fantasy? ㅋㅋㅋ love this Video ❤️🤘🏻👍🏻👍🏻
so it appears getting into korean universities is the hard part , but once you get accepted....easy sailing?
so geting into the SKY universities is the challenge. If accepted, do they just cruise through college?
I did NOT expect that guy's English accent to be so thick
we were surprised too.
ellysha_ HE'S from England......what else would you expect LOL
I wouldnt say he is from Englad he only said he lived there in middle school which is around 9 to 13 so while you may expect he can speak english and have a bit of the accent it sounded really strong like he just came from there yesterday. Thats the part that is unexpected.
ellysha_ same but he mostly likely learned English from people with really thick accents so that's how he learned to pronounce his words and gained the accent.
celiu niaad so many Koreans live in England! I moved here last year and am learning Korean and everytime I have classes there's usually a couple of Koreans in the cafe
that guy's british accent was so ajdfjsldj omg
Kristina K meee sameeee lol
many people are liking that guy lol
DKDKTV it's cause of his accent!! Accents are cool!
DKDKTV Like American accents-- BLAH! But Australian, British, Irish, ect-- LIKE I WANT THEIR VOICE!
the second he started talking with that accent I immediately paused the video and had to see if people were talking about it in the comments lollllll
yo that guys accent kinda startled me. Weird to see two koreans speaking korean, then when they switch to english, one has an american accent and one has an english accent.
it depends on traces of colonialism. So in India and Chinese because of their former British colonialism effects speak more British English while latter diaspora that deals more with American imperialism favor American English accents. They probably simply studied in different countries or lived in them.
well yeah the guy said he lived in England
reminds me of NCT.
no lol. he lived in england and the other in america. hence the different accents
Yes I noticed that! So is it the case if you learn to speak English in the Uk you sound English?
I love how that guy who studied in England picked up a British accent. It sounds so nice.
Lily Iris what did you expect
Lily Iris what’d you expect dumbass fucking idiot
That’s crazy... I had no idea Koreans viewed their college life as "easy". I had the perception it would be super intense because of how stressful their high school life is. Thinking about it its vice versa here in the U.S. The average American high school is fairly easy almost too laid back, then college life is a drastic change of insanity. Wow, great job guys!
lol I and a few friends had a backwards. Getting bombarded with so much work from school taking all the AP classes you can fit as well as having to get involved in more than enough extracurricular activities (such as having a job, volunteering every week, joining multiple clubs and honor societies, and more) was not easy. You had to do a lot to stand out above other applicants and to be considered for scholarships and grants. Also, my school was way over-prepared with their AP material. I found one of my AP classes covered like 3 college classes at the university I am in now. I would have much preferred a laid-back high school life than a laid-back college life. I mean, it's still a struggle now to graduate within my major with experience, but I still think high school was harder to this day.
lmao, Koreans usually suffer from their late middle school - high school years then have a kind of rest during college ahah college is viewed as a kind of resting point in their lives where they can have a lot of fun :)
Unravel I agree with you. My high school is more competitive than the average one, and it's stressful, with so many people in multiple ap classes and other extracurriculars. It always strikes me odd when I see Americans saying their high school life is easy.
lol. I know right.
I’m just entering college this fall so I can’t comment about that. I was part of a lot of things (Mock Trial, Robotics, Band, etc.) and took tons of AP classes and even college classes at a community college during high school. I had a pretty hectic high school life. I basically lived at school going there at around 6:30 AM (zero period) until around 8:30 PM (Mock Trial practice/ football games). At the end of the year, all the senior bandies were asked about their advice for the underclassmen and I specifically told the juniors at that time that “whoever told you senior year is a breeze is lying to you.” There were other seniors that agreed with me but there were some that said it was our fault that we took the hard way of senior year (jokingly of course). But I could see that some of them truly had a laid back high school life. I think it truly depends on the person. In American high schools, you have the choice to do something (join a club/take AP classes) or not to do so.
college life. sleep , eat, mental breakdown, broke
julie literally me, especially since I have finals in two weeks and I'm not prepared. 😣😣😣
And when you get graduate with a degree, you're still broke for a long time. That student loan debt is too real😭 . It is like you sold your soul to the devil when you signed that promissory note.
julie the meantle breakdown and the anxiety
im at broke stage right now
not for me, im taking online classes haha lol
omg that guy's english accent...... i'm shook
great new content too! very well produced 😎
why
It's such a posh accent , like the way the queen or Londoners speak
I’m from London and we all think we really don’t have a strong accent but in reality it’s actually quite prominent hahahah
I'm currently a third year university student in California. And yes, it's true that there are plenty of parties on campus but not everyone attends them. The huge parties are usually a frat/sorority thing in my opinion. But what's more important than the parties is the education. Is it hard to graduate? Yes, as a science major, a failing grade means being put on academic probation and possibly being kicked out of the major. Do we have more interactive learning? 50/50 because some classes are just the lecturer talking and the students listening. While some are VERY interactive and require the students to express their own personal opinion (we can also disagree with the professor). Regarding the discrimination against Asians...it's very uncommon only because my university is in Southern California and the majority of the students are Asian.
But at the end of the day, American students or Korean students...we're all stressed out at one point in our 4 years of college. Lmao
very detailed explanation! thanks! you helped me depict what an American university really looks like!
holy shit, one failing grade means being put on academic probation and maybe being kicked off? I would've been kicked off my uni ages ago then rip
k huynh relate I'm also a science major and live in south Cali it's hella competition getting into the science classes 💀tbh i feel like switching my major
Steven Lee dam where did that come from 😅😂
DONT TELL ME IM ACTUALLY THE ONLY ONE FALLING FOR THAT BRISTISH BOT HOLY CRAP
definitely not the only one
For people who are confused, korean HIGH SCHOOL is super tough because they also have to prepare for college entrance exam which is difficult and very competitive since everyone is competing to get good grades so they can enter top universities. However, once you get into the university, it's much more chill than the scary high school people hear about :)
True
That boy who had lived in England I AM IN LOVE 😍 who is he ?
dunno..lol just someone who was resting..
u just broke my heart hahah
Rebecka Moggia OMG his accent was soooo cute HAHAHA
same omg majorr heart eyes ♥
Rebecka Moggia how did you find him???
so the difference is korean high schools are too demanding and college is too easy and in the us high schools are easy and college is more difficult...
even in india, school is cut throat but the moment u reach college ur life is easy
college should be harder, because they're the ones giving out the degrees which is why american degrees hold more value. If I were these koreans I wouldn't complain though I just want this college sh*t to be done with whether or not I find a job idc I just don't want to be in a class room or studying all night.
😂College life in America is like going from prison(high school) to straight hell!😂 We do have parties but that's if you're lucky enough to have one day free or you go to a party to eat free food😂 It may seem easy but im pretty sure many people in college have mental break down once a month.
wanna hear more American perspectives after watching this video!
DKDKTV of course i love watching your guys videos!💕 Next time ask them what they think about american historical figures like MLK and Rose park. Love you guys! keep up the good work!
iris analco ohh nice idea ! that would be really interesting :D
iris analco i'm only in my first year of university and i'm already so tired of it 😂😂 i regret not studying in HS
Yeah, my older sister got diagnosed with anxiety thanks to college and most of my friends talk about wishing they could sleep more than parties. But teen movies are more interesting if they're about parties than cram studying lol.
Alot of parties, yes because social events and campus life essentially revolves around this which is what deludes many freshmen, but many persons use the 3/4 years to build networks within their faculties and throughout the university, you'd be surprised just how connected your university might be as well as their alumni.
Hard to graduate, I dont think so you just have to manage your time well and you should be fine. It really is the only time you get to 'find' yourself and figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life after making that transition from school to the working environment.
Any who great video as always guys, keep up the good work.
wow. expected these kind of comments! and learning new facts!
This especially applies to small colleges. I go to a private women's college (Go Salem College!) and we have a very close relationship not only with the faculty, but with one another. The entire campus is like an extended family away from home and everyone generally knows a good portion of everyone who is on campus because we see each other so often. We're also able to organize unique events because of our relationship with the faculty. Although it could stand to be better, everyone on my campus knows that if they have a problem, they could go directly to the dean or a person of power here and have it handled. Some may even be very close to a first-name basis with the those people and plenty of professors here actually encourage you to call them by their name rather than their title, like Dr. whatever. We also have the type of relationship where we can band together and literally this has happened and will continue to happen, but we stand up to administration and we lay out rules for what we will and won't accept as far as living standards here and the way we're treated and such, both on-campus and within the community (we'll occasionally hold a protest (ex. we protested the HB2 Bill until our administration released a statement to make sure our campus stayed safe as well as within the community, so they're trying to make the town a safe haven for those affected by the Bill as well). We have a voice that demands to be heard and the faculty and administration on my campus really encourage it and are always open to hearing what change we want to see done. We call people out in a very quick second if they're in the wrong and they encourage it. As far as parties go, they're not that frequent. If anything, like someone said in the comments before, we're incredibly stressed, but we make it work because we know eventually we'll get our degree and we can go on to do what we really want. We do go midnight runs for fast food and waffles though! Drinking does occur, but most times unless someone else acquires it for you, you're not getting a drink unless you have ID to prove you're 21. I don't think drug use occurs on my campus that much; I hear that more about the much larger private university up the street from us (which we go to their parties too).
Rainbow Monkeyz Exactly, I can't imagine not making connections though its not on purpose but more the lifestyle. Your college friends tend to be your first adult friends and the people you know and hang out with for the rest of your life outside of family and maybe work friends down the line. Regarding the difficulty of graduating, it sounds like that's more in relation to Korean universities. Maybe we have more requirements or something like that. If their bar is set so low a lot could look difficult if its above that standard.
Rainbow Monkeyz I think they mentioned that Korean universities are easy to graduate by measuring the difficulty in relation to elementary and high school. I know that in China and Korea, school before university and entrance exams are so tough that it makes university itself seem like a breeze.
Queenie D Salem College sounds like a dream
I don't get it. Some say that Korean universities are really hard and they have to study 24/7 and they basically live in the library but then this guys are saying that you don't actually learn anything and it's so easy. What's the truth
I think thats when it comes to 4th grade, getting ready to seek jobs. And personally I think the study workload in highschool to enter a university is much more harsh.
I think its the effort of getting into a good university that's the struggle. Work ethic of western students is nothing compared to Korea's students
Reno I suppose Korea is like Japan. University is not about learning advanced knowledge to prepare you for a job because that knowledge is learned on the job. University is about getting that certificate from a prestigious university so that you even HAVE a job especially a GOOD job. It also gets you connections that are invaluable for the future. There is little sense of specialization and coursework is very light and the main objective is to pass and get that university certificate.
Angelbob77 I think its because those are universally well known. While there are other Ivies and smaller Ivies like Duke, they are simply less well known.
Korean high schools are extremely hard because they also have to study for college entrance exam which is a VERY important exam because everyone is competing to get good grades so they can get into the top universities. However, when you go to college/university, the work load and also hours of studying is much less demanding. Hope this helps ^^
I think it's interesting how a lot of Koreans say that college is fun and they like to go out and play with their friends.
While when I was in college was so stressed out that I barely had time to play with my friends. Also I found out what it feels like to be broke.
Yes, but also Korean high school is extremely stressful because they spend almost all of their time studying, once they reach college it is a lot easier because they dont have to worry about the exam
I live in California, and went through high school and college here. I can say for a fact that that two of the thoughts expressed in the video, expensive, and hard are completely true. In America all schooling through high school is free however college will be the most expensive thing you will ever do after. It seems stupid that you can go through high school without debt, but then deciding to continue learning for 2 - 8 more years will practically bankrupt you. Hopefully in the future we, Americans will figure out that college should be free for everyone. This is especially needed since high school diplomas won't get you a job anymore. The one thing I think the Korean students got wrong was the idea we party, and drink a lot as college students. 21 years old is the legal age to drink here in the U.S.A, and that doesn't mean students don't drink. Movies, and TV have perpetuated this idea the college kids just party all night, but that's not really the case. I would bet Korean college students probably drink more that American ones do. I enjoyed the video, keep up the good work.
To briefly answer the perceptions in this video: College in America IS hard. Most people end up having a mental break down in college, the stress is insane. As for the debates, In a lot of the classes you will experience having class debates, many teachers hate having students memorize material and perfer them to think for themselves (opposite in korea from what i heard) so we do have a lot debates in class. Fun fact: you can always disagree with a teacher, its not uncommon for a student to do that, in fact most teachers like it when studens do that bc it shows that they are thinking. But even though we do have debates there are still a lot of classes that are just strictly lectures, so it depends on the teacher. Also, i didnt understand the meaning of flexible studying?? do they think we study whenever we want? do they not know we have due dates and deadlines as well?? aside from that in college you will have a TON of group projects, its almost insane how many group projects you have to do. So if you don't like meeting random people, getting their phones numbers and meeting up with them at 7pm at night because that's the only time everyone can meet, college in america may not be for you. Im not sure if this is something that korea does but also have a lot of in class presentations. To give you a personal example, i am a business major and this tue i have to make a presentation to the class and teacher as to why xxx company should invest in the company of my choice (The teacher plays the role of xxx company). Anyways, the presentation has to be 30min and the last 10min is for questions or concerns that may be asked from the class or the teacher. There are 2 presentstions per day and the two that present i guess you can say are competitors because at the end of class the students will vote on which presentstion was better. It's pretty cut throat.
kgfan I actually literally had THREE mental breakdowns my last two semesters.
I wasn't sure what they meant about flexible studying or maybe they think that we get to explore and study more outside our major, like have minors, double major, research and study opportunities, maybe even the greek life and networking involved but thats not really studying and more about getting more involved.
If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you study as a business major? I'm going to college this fall as a business major but I don't know exactly what I want to do yet in terms of finance, supply management, sales/marketing, etc. just wanted to get some insight from someone who studies it first hand
Unnati Agrawal Each business major has a few classes they take that distinguish them. I also took business but business administration. Most business majors wont be able to tell you the difference in each business major since they have similar basics but what is always most helpful is looking at colleges you want to go to, check all classes in the different business degrees you are interested in. I finished my associates but am changing to forensic science. But expect learning business calculas, taking 2 accounting classes (unless you're an accounting major), take a statistics or economics class, and a business computer class to teach you how to use popular computer applications for business purposes, and a speech class. My school offered 3 different speech classes but the easiest, most general one was not something business majors could take, since its business after all and you need to deliver speech well. But other than those basics, the classes for other business major vary a bit.
Jenny Winstrop thank you for the feedback! I'm going into freshman year, I'll have AP credits for calc, macro, and stats, so I won't have to take those classes at the college I'm going, but hopefully the other classes I choose will help me find my interests and decide my major field, thanks again!
That guy with the british accent was super cute. And the girl that suddenly got up made me laugh haha great job with making this video guys! Can't wait to see more!!!
Omg that Korean guy with the British accent makes me so happy wow
The one who said he was thinking about going to the military was literally my fav in this video for some reason and when I found out he used to live in England I nearly cried I omg-
and his accent ifjgirevfbkslmv.,
which isn't really an accent to me but oh well
Make more public interview! I'm liking this :D
we will! give us fun ideas!
DKDKTV you should do what koreans think of american body standards
Maybe ask Koreans what they think of other western regions such as the UK or wider Europe. A lot of them tend to see the west as mainly America so it would be interesting to see their opinions of other western regions and perhaps their views on westerns that come to study/live in Korea ^-^.
American college life is stressful af I'm constantly bombarded with work and stressing and I'm only in my 1st year
Shoulda thought about that before going.
Gabriele Stahnke on a side note, I love seeing people encourage and motivate each other to do and accomplish great things on the internet 😌 it just reminds me that in this middle of all the negatives associated with the internet, there's also great people like this who genuinely spread positivity 💕 thnks for taking the time to help someone
It's the truth. I frequently attend these lustful parties and I am a part of these female cell tribes in the Western cultures LMAOOO 😂😂
I thought she was referring to sorority or something..
wow could we hear some details ^^
That girl saying Western cultures was uncomfortable with Danny lol
I have know idea what "cells" are. Maybe Sororities?
But there are also schools, like the one I graduated from, that didn't allow sororities or frats. XD
I'm still laughing at that dude who spoke with a heavy English accent, like mind blown wtf.
Yes, it is true that graduating from American universities can be a challenge, especially if you are studying in the STEM areas (science, technology, engineering and math). The anxiety for exams is ridiculous; any time exams are around, you will notice that the library is jam packed with students studying. It is common for students to prioritize studying over other things like hygiene and health. My friends and I (and any other students) can all say that we have gone a week without showering during finals week. Also, be prepared to lose tons of sleep in college; on average, I only get 4 to 5 hours of sleep per day. It gets worse the closer you are to graduation. So much is expected of students to appeal to employers, so the pressure continues to build up when it is almost necessary that you should be active in other organizations or programs (volunteering, research, internships, etc.), and the cherry on the top is when you have to work to put yourself through school. I admit, as tough as it is, college is fun. You learn many things, whether is academic, social or personal skills. Universities will make you an incredibly responsible individual and you will learn many life lessons. Good luck to anyone entering college! You will make a great amount of memories, the bad and the good :)
when the guy said UCLA I got so happy!! That's where I just graduated from and my best friend since freshman year is an international student from Korea studying at UCLA!
America can barely afford to go to college haha....(Crying commences)
Simply Trash That makes no sense...
In finland it’s free except the books😂
True, me and a lot of people i know. ;_; joining military so I can afford college later unless your rich or get a lot of financial aid
little did they know that the drinking age in the U.S. is 21
Holy shit this high quality is perfection!!🙌🏼
yay
omg the guy with the British accent!!! that accent was so strong 😍😍😍 I guess i'm in love!
They're all thinking this when in reality we all have mental breakdowns just going to school lol.
Yaaaaaaay new series!!!!! Soooo good guys!!!! Amazing cam quality too! Totally DAEBAK! And lol some of the answers... U don't learn anything in college?! Lol
This is some legit quality content!!! Somehow feels like a DKDKTV comeback! lol But u r back with a bang at that! So hurray!
Thanks CC LOL
DKDKTV 😊😊😊
Hey you took care of your sons really good awww :)
Justkisae그냥기새 lol kisae
My history/military teacher once told me that most people who are out of the states reference us to the movie 'American Pie' lol... guess his not all wrong :D
Really curious about something. I came to know about Korea and its culture through Kpop and k dramas, so called the "Hallyu wave", and I personally know people who went/are in Korea to study/work/visit because of this reason. But sadly, I read that not many of the general public encourage Kpop or they look down upon idols in general. Though imo (its my sole opinion) Kpop kinda plays a tiny role in getting people to learn more about Korea and its culture and also learn the language, and also makes one to visit it. So I'm curious what the present youth think of it. Do they also shun it like the older generation? Or do they see it as something positive?
P.S - sorry if I'm not making sense.
A_Controversial_Cat Yeah, I'm curious too. Hey Danny&David, one idea over here, this could be an interesting topic to cover☺
A_Controversial_Cat Kpop is like the equivalent of Disney stars. Known, but not really paid attention to, unless you're really popular (right now it's exo and twice). People in their 20s listen to more indie/coffee shop music, which is really popular
AJJellyBean Are you living in Korea? Anyway I wasn't asking about who is popular or not, more like what do youths think about Kpop and kdramas inspiring people from other countries to learn more about Korea and makes them wanna visit Korea (since the older gen likes to downplay idols in general). I can't really explain.
A_Controversial_Cat A_Controversial_Cat I am Korean American but I have lived in Korea when I was younger and the majority of my family is in Korea. Koreans like the fact that people all over the world can appreciate the Korean culture through media such as music and tv. However, like AjJellyBean has said, a lot of Koreans in their 20s don't listen to Kpop but more of indie/coffee house music while Kpop is usually listened by the younger audience. Koreans like this cultural influence that the media plays but there is a strong homogeneity in Korea - so they don't appreciate too much with international people trying to actually live in Korea/become Korean because for Koreans, if you're not biologically Korean, you'll never be considered Korean (you're always the outsider).
A_Controversial_Cat also there are a lot of people in older generation, as you call it, who love watching Korean dramas - my grandparents would have some kind of drama playing every night when I come over.
"like a tribe?" omg that part had me C R Y I N G with laugher haha
I never thought that Korean universities are easy to graduate from, but looking from experience studying in Korea for a semester it was all about going out with friends and drinking and norebang.
It is hard to graduate from an American university because the high standards when it comes to graduating, they basically pointed out good points with having good classroom discussions. I went to school in nursing and took me 7 yrs just to graduate, it was a hustle and a lot of sacrifices like my social life, but worth it in the end. Its also EXPENSIVE! especially going to an IV league school like Harvard, Yale or Stanford, or any private universities. But one of the best thing about going to college here in America are the scholarships to help pay for school :)
Actually, top schools are usually the least expensive because they have such large endowments that they put towards financial aid. Schools with small endowments often don't give good scholarships. Yale is 100% needs based, and if you have a household income below $100k, then your tuition is free. Same with most top schools.
Also, Stanford isn't in the Ivy League haha, although it's a top school
I'm graduating this May with a bachelors degree in Pure Mathematics. If you are a STEM major, then college is very hard! I know so many people who had to switch from a Biology or Math major because the simply could not pass the classes.
The course load is also ridiculous especially if you want to finish in four years. My current year (4th year), I've had to take 6 math classes. All of which graduate students also take. I literally have 3 assignments due every week where each takes an average 10 hours. As well as 3 exams and a final in each class. It is easy to drown in the work.
As for parties, I've been to a few. I don't really care for them. Sororities and fraternities party the most though. When I have time, I normally like to spend time with friends and go out to eat or hang out at the apartment or dorm and chill.
YAS NEW SERIES! This is a great idea btw! I guess the same misconceptions (or not?) about American unis, exist among my friends too lol. Looking forward to new videos! ^^
PS. That video quality tho 👀
Lovee this video !! and ahh I think the "cells" that girl was referring to is Sororities LOL and it seems David doesnt like making eye contact when speaking to others You should ask people what do they think about "Koreaboos" LMAO
+Gavin Gallagher you have a keen eye Gavin lol. Yeah i feel nervous speaking to women in general actually.. that comes before the eye contact prob
OMG new content!!! I really enjoy it guys, the video quality is also great. I hope you do more of this 🙂
edit: i hope you guys can cover up more about the educational system in south korea btw, like CSAT there
will try thanks!
The stereotypes about American universities are really spot on! Genuinely surprised that Korean universities aren't hard to graduate since the education system leading up to it seems so intense compared to American high schools. LOVE THIS GUYS! Keep it up
I think it is really interesting that the people you interviewed described their college experience as easy. In the US I think your experience depends on your major but I would say that the majority of majors are rigorous. When I was in college I had to spend so many hours studying and had many nights where I stayed up until 3 in the morning. I also had to volunteer or have an internship, work and of course attend my classes. So hard D:
I thought this was funny because I'm actually an American student considering studying abroad in Korea! Also, love the new content! Can't wait to see what else you guys have planned.
Watching this while studying on campus lol. It's really interesting seeing the different views that these students had
I can't be the only one thinking the British guy reminded me of Suga from BTS! Right?
Omg when the guy started speaking English omg that British accent 😍
Bring the British guy back and add him to your team!!!
You can hear his English accent when he speaks English.
I've been in college for what seems like ages now, It's so damn expensive. Oh and someone is always watching netflix in class, or eating.
Out of curiosity !! Can you ask Korean college students on their view on drugs? College students in different countries are usually exposed to drugs like weed, hash and a few more.
we have much curiousity toward drug cause we do not see any drugs in Korea(some do illegally, of course). younger generation in Korea love hip-hop so all drug lyrics in American hip-hop music make us more curious about it.
Wow! This is one of your most interesting videos. As a junior in college, it's really interesting to see how other people view the American system. I'd love to hear from engineering students (since I'm a sad engineering student)
Nice video guys. I hope you continue this series
definitely. give us themes!
Well, they're not wrong, but of course it's exaggerated. You're lucky to have free time to party, and it's mostly younger people going to house parties since they can't go to bars. Being in my fourth year at Purdue I hardly find any time to see my friends on weekends, which is sad but... yay, I'm graduating soon!
Gosh man! This series seems to be super duper awesome. Its actually in a way really awesome to get to know different opinion of students well the habits of all college students around the world are so similar. Its a unique way of creating more awareness.
Beautiful content and quality! Totally spot on, though I have never been to one of 'those' parties lol. Whoo! Go DKDK!!
I really like this idea of doing interviews! College life in America really isn't (well in my school) about parties. In fact it happens so rarely, everyone else is studying or working. So stressful.
the korean dude with the british accent oh la la best compo
The new quality is no joke :o
I remember the first videos you did :D
what about what korean students thing about forgin students??
I enjoyed your video:) I have got a question..watching dramas and reading news articles it seems like it is really-really difficult to graduate from high school with decent academic achievements, pass Korean "SAT" and eventually get admitted to universities, but in the video everyone said that graduating from university is too easy. So, does this mean that studying in high school is more difficult than at university? I just find it interesting how it is way more difficult to enter university rather than studying there:)
Aaand idea for a next interview video, can you please interview foreign students about their college life in Korean and if everything goes as they expected. Thanks:)
I believe it's similar to how it is in Japan where you have to study loads and take a really difficult entrance exam to actually get into a (good) university but then once you're accepted they basically just slack off compared to how they had it previously. University is almost sort of like a "resting" period to party and make friends before you get sent off into the harsh working world.
I really like this new segment! The content and the quality were on point 😊👍🏼 Well done guys, you keep impressing me.
I'm going to study abroad at Korea University next spring, so I guess I'll find out the differences myself 😅
Madison How’s it going? Are they any different?
Isn't the guy that said he would want to go to New York Film Acadamy the guy from your chicken commercial?
Suzanne Mester yes it is haha
i love that guy's british accent SDFKH:SDFHKDSHFLDS IM CRYIN
I can't wait to see what the university life is like in my country, which is Finland. I'm going to graduate (if I pass the final exams) high school in 2019 and apply for a university. I'll come back to this video then and leave a comment about our university life, who knows if I'm going to recommend Finland as an option for you😎
This is a really cool idea, you guys- letting other people have a real, non-staged (is that a word?) sneak peek inside Korean lifestyle. I'm really happy you're doing this, as are many other K-pop fans, I'm sure!😉
it's nice knowing what people my age from other sides of the world think like😂 hope y'all can continue interviewing college students guys !
I think the reason college memories are held so fondly by most people is because they were moments of happiness that shone during a really stressful time. I love learning and challenging myself but it definitely gets overwhelming sometimes. My college experience so far: Everyone's in debt, studying for a degree that prob won't have anything to do with the field they end up in, have no clue what the future holds, class sizes are too big, everyone just wants to sleep.
LMAO 'not harder for us but for future generations.' wow haven't seen such honesty in campus 😂😂.
BTW superb content. you'll grow faster than AsianBoss . keep it up.
This series is actually good, can't wait to watch more episodes
"Korean College Vibes" Haha :0)
This segment is a great addition, especially for those of us who are here for more than just kpop reactions.
I personally like the German system much better, encourage kids who don't want to go to college or who want to try something different to try trade schools- it lowers the competition and helps everyone get a good job ideally
my wife and I watch your videos all the time, great stuff, funny as hell -- keep it coming!
simply loved it.looking forward for many more outdoor reactions👍..by the way you guys are looking very handsome(Danny without specs n different hairdo and David with his side parting 😀..loads of love n wishes from India💟
Thanks for awesome video! I actually dropped out from that univ. and came to U.S. for new career. It made me to think of Korean college life.
This was interesting. Great video! I like watching interviews from other students, personally. I am currently a senior in a Florida college (graduating in 15 days... woot!) and I just wanted to comment on a few of the opinions mentioned. The one guy who said that he wishes his University had smaller classes was totally me when I was looking for a college. I ended up going to a medium-sized college that has smaller classes because smaller classes promote more learning and just more talking with the professor and other students in general. I am an English (Literature) major and about 75% of my classes were discussion based (where we move the desks into a circle and basically just talk with the professor about what we read and our analysis on the reading). A comment below said American students even have the opportunity to disagree with their professors (which is very true... and also very fun (:< ) and it, too, gives more of a sense of purpose to college and actually makes me feel like I learned something during my time in college (I personally prefer discussion based classes over being lectured at for an hour - two and half hours while some students think otherwise). I find it funny that pretty much all of the students here were saying that college was too easy lol. I also think, along with one of the girls in the video, that having the schools be willing to accept student opinions and listen to the student body is VERY important if one would want to improve University life all together. My college (UNF) is very student-based and every student has the opportunity to have a voice and the University truly does listen.
Also, I personally have never been to any "crazy" college party... those are mainly for super social butterflies or the freshmen who aren't exactly concerned about their grades... yet lol. Most people don't actually have time to party and are super stressed. I found it hard to make friends at all because everyone was so busy and/or stressed to do anything. College here is pretty hard, I agree. Or maybe that's just me. Or maybe because high school is such a breeze.
Anyways, this is getting very long and I have a lot of papers to write that I shouldn't be procrastinating on (HELP ME....) but I just wanted to comment my personal experience in an American college. I find it interesting how different college life is between Americans and many others. Cool video! Maybe you could continue this sort of student series and ask high school or college students what they would try to change in their schooling experience if they could? Dunno if that's interesting enough but it's all I could think of at the moment.
this is actually really interesting! I hope you can keep this series up!
Oh i'm loving this new content, it's amazing! keep it up guys!
That quality tho, good job~
YES. I LOVE THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS. 얼마나 재미있어!!! I know they're not that original and the sample size of the students doing the interviews on campus is obviously small but I'd love to see more and hear what they think of other places besides US because our DucKs are all over the globe. I'd like to see more about life on campus and hear the POV from foreign exchange students as well. Love you, guys~ ^^ ♡
Hi Danny and David, good job on your new series!!!! This takes more courage and hard work than reaction videos!!All the best for it to be a success! !
A feedback as a duck : Add a USP for your videos (as there are competitors for the same format) .hmm.. may be after consolidation of the views u can give your perspective or something like that ☺.
wow you guys are making new. hope this brought you guys to a bigger platform. good job💪💪💪💪
It's the first video of you guys that I watch and it was quite interesting! Keep up the work! From a Senegalese in France who love Korea
This is great! Would love to see more of these! I guess the grass really is always greener on the other side.
This is a really good video! Very informative! Looking forward to watch more of this! :)
That dude just stole my heart with his accent YALL
Really love this kind of videos ! I love learning more about college life in korea, and well life style etc there generally :) Keep up the good work~
@1:55 drinking in the grass? nonono honeyyyy we lay down in the grass after we're done drinking. typically face first and shit faced
They're pretty much right, college in the US at least from my experience, requires a lot of hard work and hard play! It's a time kids really mature and learn how to live on their own and manage their time so that they can get the most out of their studies as well as their social life... almost like a prequel to adulthood, I loved it!
This is good. Good content. Keep up the great work guysss!
kpop 뿐만 아니라 이렇게 대학 생활이나 여러 사회적인 부분 인터뷰도 많이 업로드 해주셨으면 좋겠어요!! I want you to upload many video clips about societal part interview such as Univ life like this as well as Kpop..
I think it's kind of interesting to see, especially since before college in Korea, students daily life is pretty much centered around studying and learning, whereas in America there is not as strong a pressure to study and do well in academics, and studying isn't hardcore.(Of course this doesn't apply for everyone, just the overall atmosphere.) However the flip side occurs in university, Korean students don't have to worry as much as they used to, and can graduate pretty easily, contrary to the saying in America where getting into college is just the beginning. Great video!
love ur public interv!!! please do more and nice vids guys, luv em'!
Lol ...the kakao talk is going crazy about guys ...they are literally making a list of Handsome guys
It's just too funny to read the comments there
yayyy do more interviews ! Definitely would love to watch!
That was really interesting to watch! I go to a pivate Christian university in the US and even here I see a lot of what the Korean students were talking about. I think American culture (TV, movies, music) encourages high school and college aged Americans to spend their time partying. I honestly think a good chunk of why it's so hard to graduate American colleges is the lack of time management that most people who party tend to have. They party all weekend and a lot of weekdays and then leave no time to study or do homework. Or they're so tired that they sleep through their classes. The students in this video seemed more concerned about actually getting a good education.
just found the video and it is very enlightening about perceptions of American education. I was a scholarship student and all my funding depended on my grades. I've fallen asleep in the library a couple of times especially around midterms and finals. Before my second year the endowment ran out on one of my scholarships so I had to find a job quickly. Luckily I found a job on campus but there was a drawback. I worked for campus housing and there was a chance that during my nights on call I'd be called out at anytime. I've been woken up for drugs, domestic violence, noise etc. at 4 A.M. The job I took to help pay for college actually made my grades fall so I had to work even harder because scholarships. I lost contact with most of my friends because I was either working or studying. I never really got to party besides game night with friends. My final semester I let the job go and I focused on enjoying myself and getting a more rounded college experience. I graduated this past December Magna Cum Laude with a 3.8 on a 4.0. scale as a double major in History and Political Science.
awesome work danny and david...really love these kind of videos except for that reaction videos !!! Coming on to topic of reaction videos . When are you going to react to Taeyeon "Make me Love" Danny ! :'D
that guy who whipped out his british accent !!! my GOD take my whole heart maybe
I really like this segment!! Can you ask foreign (like exchange) students about there opinion on studying in Korea (culture shock, likes, dislikes)
