FR!! Vor allem die jüngere Generation. Meine Freunde finden mich komisch, weil ich im Bus nicht reden möchte. Es ist SO normal im Bus/Zug zu telefonieren oder sich zu unterhalten und das auch noch ziemlich laut. Oftmals spielen Leute sogar laut Musik im Bus ab (zumindest in meiner Region lol)

@PechoHundido69 Obviously not everything on this video true! A lot of these rules are exaggerated. I mean, never write someone's name in red ink? I think that's a flat out joke to most Korean people. The only thing I would agree with is don't get into a fight rule, not because the legal system is super biased toward Koreans, but because the process gets really messy when violence is involved even for Koreans. I would say none of these rules are NEVER dos really...you can talk on a train/you don't have to share if you don't want to/it can be super crowded in certain places but it doesn't mean you will be walking with millions of people surrounding you everytime/leaving a tip won't make people mad..I can go on and talk about every single rule. But you know these rules could be helpful for you to be a little more considerate towards people n Korea, but they are not obligatory nor expected from foreigners. This is just a youtube video created by a non-Korean, so take it with a grain of salt and don't let these rules ruin your trip to Korea!! I would rather look for tips to enjoy Korea more!
I love how a lot of people assume k-pop fans wanna go to Korea in hopes of magically finding a korean guy that looks like Jimin. I just wanna go for the food.... EDIT: In other words we should all just go to Korea and say fuck other people’s opinions 🗿

@@somijeon7354 I can imagine how annoying that must've been. Why do people act like this? :/ Btw have you got any tips to get better at Korean because I really love the culture of the country and it's my dream to maybe live there for a few months/years ^-^
Same for black people strolling on the streets. Just because I'm black doesn't mean i can dance or you can touch my hair without permission... just saying

WHEN HE SAID IN MOST PART OF ASIA PEOPLE DONT TALK IN TRAIN ITS DISRESPECTFUL I WAS LITTERALY LAUGHING SO HARD AS BECAUSE IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO NOT TALK IN TRAIN IN INDIA
I spent a total of two years stationed in Korea. If you REALLY want to experience Korea (or any other destination country), give the larger places a small part of your time and get out into the countryside. The mass transit system in Korea is very efficient and allows one to easily do so. Overall, the people outside the big cities are more hospitable and you get a much better feel for the historical culture. Korea is a very hilly country and Koreans do like to hike among the hills and mountains. Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK. I loved my time in Korea.
I know it may seem like a lot, but just aim to save about 2k. Flights from the US are about 6-700 when done months in advance and with the rest of the money, you can have a bomb ass time.
1. it's ok to talk in bus or train as long as you keep your voice low 2. you don't have to drink to socialize with people. you can just tell them you can't drink and they understand and accept you. You can still join their party and have fun. all you may have to do is just pretend to sip and join their cheers. 3. DO NOT steal or rob you'll get caught 99%. there's cctv almost every public place and korean police are highly capable. Also it's NOT true that foreigners are at disadvantage in the fight with Koreans because cctvs and blackboxes can easily identify who's at fault.
@@jiminlosthisjams8386 Just tell them you don't drink for religious reasons and ordinary koreans understand it and wont ask you again but they may not invite you to join their social drinking gathering and may go to a cafe when they meet you.
SY Nam - I think it’s better to find your own way to be a part of the celebrations without drinking. If it really doesn’t work out then I just won’t agree to hangouts involving liquor :P
As a Korean, thoughts on this list... 1. You can politely decline if you don’t drink or have health issues - you don’t have to. 4. You can talk on the subways. It’s not Japan. Ain’t nobody gonna scold you. ( Also why the heck are you using Japanese b-roll? All your shots are of the inside of a Japanese subway. ) 7. You can get into fights with a korean, just don’t hit em. If they hit you, you’re entitled to a nice settlement. Just don’t hit anyone. If you hit each other, it favors who’s hurt more. 10. (Again use of Japanese b-roll... come on man, you couldn’t even get the country right?) 11. Pronounced “jung” and this point was irrelevant to travel tbh. You don’t have to share your bowl of soup or your street food... ain’t nobody gonna take bite out of my meat stick after I already slobbered all over it.. just sayin ;)
this youtuber really thinks we are stupid... tf.. he's exaggerating almost everything... I dont know much about korean culture yet I know most are so distractingly misleading... but I still hate korean's drinking habits plus the throwing up vomiting on the streets etc... like its feel dangerous at night even with cctv... because you can always get hit by a drunkard and thats not cool... regardless, every culture and place got their positive and negative... its just that I'm commenting because I hate the misleading and exaggeration of information
@@piparasol2483 Getting hit by drunkard is very hard to experience even though korean knows that their own country is the safest country on the world and feel safe to drink hard on midnight as somebody will even help u if u are fainted by alcohol in the middle of the streets. I felt that vommiting on streets are mostly from freshman of university students who doent have much idea to control his or her alcohol limit (or maybe some older generations who lives a harsh life).
I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip
Totally agree that in Korea people are more relaxed about 'the rules' than Japanese people. Easier to make friends in Korea... more Korean people will have studied abroad and will be used to foreigners... I found Japanese people are tightly shut, which is hard to break into as a foreigner.
There's a few mistakes in this video. 1. Talking in subway for example, it's allowed to speak or have a quick phone call; just be sure not to be loud enough to disturb other people. 2. Tipping isn't required but it is appreciated here. Even I sometimes tip the waiter if he or she served me nice. 3. Getting into fight is never a good idea, but there's no way Koreans are always unguilty. And even if the foreigners get into trouble, they are sent to jails for foreigners only, where prisoners there are treated a lot better than the prison where locals go. But as I said, avoiding trouble is smart anytime and anywhere. 4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head.
"4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head." utter hogwash. Its done all the time, I've been there for close to a year.
@@maxabeles well I guess u move during busy hours only. Cause I don't have such experiences except in subway during early morning and late night times, when people going to work or going back to home..
The train is a public space, and it is a manner for us to keep it quiet inside it. We can talk, but if we talk loudly or shout inside, its considered as not respecting others And no personal space means that its just crowded... there is no need for us to be quiet outside! I think he just chose the wrong word lol 😂
Hahahaha didn’t expect jeong tbh, this is a very accurate video. I guess jeong is much important and is needed to be taught to people more detailed! 😊👍🏻
When i went to south korea in 2013, i had so much difficulties in communicating with korean esp when im asking for direction. But last year, i found it is so easy to communicate with them. Korean had changed a lot since then. They can understand and reply english well. They are so heartwarming and very helpful to tourists. Look forward to repeat my korea trip again in future 😄. I love the foods there
It's always good to learn the language of the country you're visiting. I've noticed that most westerners, don't really bother to learn language of other countries, simply because in most Asian countries they're able to speak English. Korea and Japan are one of the only developed nations who don't focus that much on English overall. But then again, if you're even 30+ then just forget about learning Korean, or for that matter any other language. hahaha. Wish you lots of luck for your next trip. One of my Korean friend told me that generally they don't prefer to speak to foreigner, since they straight out start speaking English with them, but because their shy bunch, they speak nicely to outsiders, rather than showing the bad side of their nation.
I am in korea studying high school welp I am Korean but here's a tip your Korean language needs to be fluent 2 find a part time job It's really harder than you thought you have to study korean fluently I am Korean but I used to live in america I am half american and half korean so when I was young I only knew how to speak English and now ik korean not really fluent but I'm trying my best to get better
@Mama Mia Ima joking yes it is hard but if you hear korean 24/7 it became a bit easier when you see k-dramas sometimes focus on the hand/face movements and gues what there saying without looking at the subtitles
bruh there’s a difference. it’s a very crowded country so don’t take it personally if you get shoved. but at the same time you have to be respectful when you’re one on one with someone.
@mk you my friend have never lived in a crowded city before. you bump into people 24/7 and it's nothing special that's worth an apology. it's a mutual understanding that you're both busy and it was an accident.
@mk bruh you haven't been in our subways. Ur literally gonna be so squished in there in the mornings, you can barely breathe until you shove people out of the way to get to the door. You are not going to have time to apologize to 40 people before getting out, and if you are just throwing random sorrys, you are being insincere. Just let it go.

I’m Korean, I do not agree with the video, some points are right however on the title 11 things not to do in Seoul, South Korea? WTF u talking about he is talking specific area of korea and not to do? I don’t understand mate
Yeah, I agree with the sharing part. My Korean friend was actually proud to give me tips on how to eat, extra info and background on the various meals. You are on a journey and they will act like your personal guide. Awesome people
as a korean, I think I can give you some sense of which of these advices are important, and which are not. 1. Ppl will let you know how to drink. they'll be happy if you follow the proper rules, needless to be bothered much. 2. I don't care. 3. important. I don't care, but you might feel quite incomfortable, and some eldies might be mad at you. 4. trains and subways are usually quiet. 5. 6. + if you call them '이모(imo)', they'll like it. 7. one of the fastest ways to spoil your trip. don't fight 8. 9. who cares. there was such superstition long time ago, and koreans know it, but we don't actually believe it. 10. useful, but not necessary 11. If you share things, they'll like it. But don't force others to share things. ppl tends to be more self-centered these days, so they might not like it. 12. + ppl usually hate japan and china. talking about neighboring countries are not welcomed. I don't care, but some of us do care a lot
Dont mean to insult but, if they ‘hate’ japan or china, what about idols from those country? Such as G idle have Yuqi, twice have japanese members, and etc. i’m just curious
All you need to do is use your common sense. Koreans are among the most understanding people in the world to travelers. This don't list would have applied to korean Americans in 90s. Young generations are more self oriented and individualist than westerners - proudly - and Extremely anti-confucious.
@@noaheverett7347 that's like saying Christian values are a critical part of American life. Apparently, most Americans don't live as pious Christians. Koreans deem confucianism as sth that has been holding back its civilization from the dynasty era dating back 100 years. It's pure capitalism that has shaped the nation facing the north's communism, a reason why the country has achieved a fast economic growth. Korean immigrants in other countries celebrate the old values to protect their identity. What they perceive as Korean culture is outdated as hell.
I wanna go to south korea not only kpop idols but I just wanna see their culture, taste their food, see some art and just explore everything even the bathrooms if possible😂😂😂
Hey @ladybug I am dying to go korea nd wanna see their culture nd taste their food as u said am just planning on dec .. but I am waiting to get travel partner
When I watched a video of Bts eating at a Korean bbq for the first time I found it weird that they were all sharing their meals together. You would never see that in America, I found that pretty cool!
honestly 10. is quite important. its a really rude thing that you get taught whene youre like 3 , but people tend to understand it because they are foreigners and stuff. if you want to respect Korean culture, don't do it :I
Depends on the train you are taking. On longer train rides you can pay for standing room or seat. I gave my seat to an elderly lady and sat in between the cars on the stairs. Behind me were 3 elderly Korean men eating and sharing shots of beer OB. They invited me over and we had a good old time! Don’t be afraid to learn the culture folks it’s a beautiful country, amazing food and friendly people.
I got to say, these are pretty good tips for new people to my second language country, as a Korean and half Canadian, i HAVE to show my friends your videos, there dying to go to Korea after corona is gone. great job :>
Just came back from Korea about 2 weeks ago as my first time trip. This is from MY experience. It is true that people will bump into you and not apologize. They won’t say thank you even if you hold open the door for them, more likely just stare at you. The subway seating is VERY strict. DO NOT sit in the elderly reserved spots. The elderly people tend to be harsh and quite rude there, unless it’s the ones at the mart trying to sell you stuff. In general, people are very to themselves and most people I’ve asked for help always stared at me like why am I talking to them kinda thing. However, I have bumped into nicer people willing to help so not everyone is like that, guess depends on your luck? If anyone has any questions, let me know. I’m not korean so this is only based on my experiences as a tourist in Korea.
It is simple to know Koreans. They only know how to see people above and below themselves. When they apologize, it is only when they pose a threat to themselves.
Im half Korean, my mother is korean, this guide sounds both helpful yet radical Always be nice and respectful, you can get away on trouble if you be nice and respectful and this makes Koreans react very nicely with smile and they will let you pass this troubles you accidentally made, dont be a karen on these situations because Koreans usually can get very toxic on arguements and that will emotionally scar you but Koreans also smiles alot if you all only know. Skip historically political questions especially Japan x Korea and the Korean peninsula issues, ask about Korean culture and Korean society instead and local food, Koreans love to talk about this in hours even! sometimes you can meet younger Koreans in twenties with bad attitude but Korean elderly are usually extremely nice and very engaging Dont worry, you can actually ask about K-pop and K-drama with Korean people, they really dont have bad reactions about this unlike in the west And last one, just dont visit Seoul, try Busan and Jeju as well, theyre a very beautiful sites in Korea
I love Korea very much, it's a great country, friendly people, very civilized and very advanced with that awesome mix of the traditional that makes it so charming. The temptation for me to stay and live there is very strong.
Sometimes I wish we had a tradition here of not speaking on public transit - or at least speaking in a low volume. I find many people talk too loudly on city buses. In particular I recall once a man in the back of the bus was speaking so loudly on his phone everyone on the bus could easily hear him.
Thank You! With this advice we went prepared to Seoul. We did stay on the foot close to Namsan Park at the Hill House Hotel. It did not matter with how many stars the hotel is rated as everything was absolutely perfect. A cost price that was more than fair that included breakfast, every morning was a delighted one. The location is perfect, as within 20 min on foot there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants, two markets ( Namdaemun Market and Myeong-dong Markets and one has to visit and see the night markets ) , food prepared right there on the street, street performances, jewelry, clothes, shoes, art, traditional clothes, many areas of culturelle aspects, K-pop merchandise and the cable car to the N-tower just 15 min away. Do not waste money on organised tours within Seoul as there are three public tourist bus lines, loop A blue, loop B red, Loop C green and D yellow line ( That is the night line with or without dinner served on the bus. The lines interlook, this way one can visit the entire city hot spots. This for only ~ Au$ 20 some start at 8:30 am and some at 9:00 am and one can hop on and off all day long till 6:30 pm. Some busses have an area open for photo taking or videos, one bus is a doppeldecker with an open upper deck and everyone gets a map and headphones for the multi-lingo highlights advice what to see and do on every bus stop. Get off and in about an hour get back on and continue your bus tour. Take the triple ticket pass over two days for a discounted price and go places, visit Gangnam, see the Lotte World Tower, or the COEX Aquarium, the olympic village, parks and villas, go on a Han River cruise, visit temples, castles, historic places. You may book a tour gettin' out of Seoul to Nami Island, take a K-pop scenery tour. If you brave enough to wear hired historic clothes while walking along, there is NO ENTRY FEE to see museums or temples, the castle and more. Well anyway, don't be shy as every fifth person you run into on the street will speak some English and Koreans are very helpful and friendly. Right now there are AU$ 350 direct 8 hours flights one way from the Gold Coast to Incheon airport / Seoul (conditions apply) restricted language weight and one has to pay for meals! Otherwise, enjoy......and yes we will be there in Korea soon again as there is soooo much more to see and do.
William Stearns And people do talk in trains they just keep it quiet. It’s a etiqquete in a way that they try not to bother others. But not related to physical personal space.
I've lived in korea for 17 years and never has anyone called me out for placing my chopstick inside the rice. The whole chopstick in rice thing only applies for Japan and is not considered rude in Korea.

This is just a youtube video created by a non-Korean, so take it with a grain of salt and don't let these rules ruin your trip to Korea!! I would rather look for tips to enjoy Korea more!
I love how a lot of people assume k-pop fans wanna go to Korea in hopes of magically finding a korean guy that looks like Jimin. I just wanna go for the food....
EDIT: In other words we should all just go to Korea and say fuck other people’s opinions 🗿
SAME
I dont mind the first one but strangely all i expect from a trip to Korea is to eat a lot of tteokbokki and japchae
@@Chaerinbad and bulgogi. I would even consider dumping a Jimin-lookalike for good bulgogi. Priorities, right?
I just wanna look at culture and buy food and cute things
I wanna go there to see the culture but then people think I’m a koreaboo 😔
Rule 12 : Dont act like you Know Korean just cause you Know Bts and Other Groups . Pls . Its annoying
I know Bts and other Kpop groups but I also speak Korean and I don't act like I do 😐😑🤣
a e s t h e t i c v i b e s I know it’s annoying, like once me and my Korean friend where walking and a girl came up to us and started to speak weird Korean I look at her and said we speak English she then kept saying that she has really good Korean compared to me, I was offended cuz I took classes and I speak pretty fluent I don’t say I’m the best, and she can’t say a complete sentence like tf
@@somijeon7354 I can imagine how annoying that must've been. Why do people act like this? :/ Btw have you got any tips to get better at Korean because I really love the culture of the country and it's my dream to maybe live there for a few months/years ^-^
Rule 13: Don’t expect to be treated like you’re in a k-drama (or the cursed thing known as y/n)
Haha that's true, when girls talk only about bts.
How many armys are here expecting to go to South Korea but your still studying
Its me indeed
Lol 🤣 here
Lol me 🙋😂
LOL me 🙋😂⟬⟭💜
Same here
Rule 12 : don't go yelling " BTS where are you" or chasing people just because they look like kpop idols
Same for black people strolling on the streets. Just because I'm black doesn't mean i can dance or you can touch my hair without permission... just saying
what sane person would do that??
Are you talking from experience?
literally nobody does this
Precious Omoleye same for Latinas strolling on the streets just because am latina does not mean am a person that knows how to dance cook professionally and is insane and dance sexy!
12- Don’t go to Korea just to see BTS
*Go hide in the corner and feel embarrassed*
Bangtan kookies lol
Ya, I agreed with you... go and stay vacation... go eat and play have fun... don't always BTS... have some Romantic Kiss
Bangtan kookies lol I’m Korean and I live there obvi but I still found this funny. Purple you 💜
Edit: this made me lmao... lol
😂😅
PREACH
12. You'll never get to see your idols in the streets
Running into idols is actually fairly common since Korea is not that big, if you enjoy nightlife alot they are a common sight
Me: Lives in Seoul.
Also me: Has ran into many kpop idols
There’s videos of where people met idols in streets lol
you might depending on where you are
it’s not a reason to go though
literally we know that already. in america there are slim chances of seeing beyoncé in walmart, so it’s practically the same situation anywhere else
Love how every one respects each other
WHEN HE SAID IN MOST PART OF ASIA PEOPLE DONT TALK IN TRAIN ITS DISRESPECTFUL

I like kdrama
thank you for saying that
We understand that lmao some of us just love the culture and food
Korea is basically a shit hole. The society is very judgemental, hypocritic, narcississt etc.
I spent a total of two years stationed in Korea. If you REALLY want to experience Korea (or any other destination country), give the larger places a small part of your time and get out into the countryside. The mass transit system in Korea is very efficient and allows one to easily do so. Overall, the people outside the big cities are more hospitable and you get a much better feel for the historical culture. Korea is a very hilly country and Koreans do like to hike among the hills and mountains.
Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK.
I loved my time in Korea.
Who the hell uses a red pen?? besides a teacher...
Me , sometimes we are checking the paper using red
My mum always told me to never write in red pen. I only ever used it in school sometimes to check work
I personally love writing with an ink pen lol
Students use it too for corecting their classmates in my school
I know right!??! I'm from Mexico and red ink means warning or that you were not well taught while in school
Im watching this as if my broke ass can afford a trip to Korea

Talk on trains all you want. They have no right to tell you not too.
1. it's ok to talk in bus or train as long as you keep your voice low
2. you don't have to drink to socialize with people. you can just tell them you can't drink and they understand and accept you. You can still join their party and have fun. all you may have to do is just pretend to sip and join their cheers.
3. DO NOT steal or rob you'll get caught 99%. there's cctv almost every public place and korean police are highly capable. Also it's NOT true that foreigners are at disadvantage in the fight with Koreans because cctvs and blackboxes can easily identify who's at fault.
But I'm a Muslim, so I can't even pretend to sip. So how should I say to people in Korea that I can't drink ?
@@jiminlosthisjams8386 Just tell them you don't drink for religious reasons and ordinary koreans understand it and wont ask you again but they may not invite you to join their social drinking gathering and may go to a cafe when they meet you.
SY Nam - I think it’s better to find your own way to be a part of the celebrations without drinking. If it really doesn’t work out then I just won’t agree to hangouts involving liquor :P

@@isotopelore yeah can imagine by your username
Ah yes, the only thing Korea is worth visiting for... Either the celebrities or the eating utensils.
As a Korean, thoughts on this list...
1. You can politely decline if you don’t drink or have health issues - you don’t have to.
4. You can talk on the subways. It’s not Japan. Ain’t nobody gonna scold you.
( Also why the heck are you using Japanese b-roll? All your shots are of the inside of a Japanese subway. )
7. You can get into fights with a korean, just don’t hit em. If they hit you, you’re entitled to a nice settlement. Just don’t hit anyone. If you hit each other, it favors who’s hurt more.
10. (Again use of Japanese b-roll... come on man, you couldn’t even get the country right?)
11. Pronounced “jung” and this point was irrelevant to travel tbh. You don’t have to share your bowl of soup or your street food... ain’t nobody gonna take bite out of my meat stick after I already slobbered all over it.. just sayin ;)
Thank u....about the drink....it's important....coz i can't drink......
this youtuber really thinks we are stupid... tf.. he's exaggerating almost everything... I dont know much about korean culture yet I know most are so distractingly misleading... but I still hate korean's drinking habits plus the throwing up vomiting on the streets etc... like its feel dangerous at night even with cctv... because you can always get hit by a drunkard and thats not cool...
regardless, every culture and place got their positive and negative... its just that I'm commenting because I hate the misleading and exaggeration of information
@@piparasol2483 Getting hit by drunkard is very hard to experience even though korean knows that their own country is the safest country on the world and feel safe to drink hard on midnight as somebody will even help u if u are fainted by alcohol in the middle of the streets. I felt that vommiting on streets are mostly from freshman of university students who doent have much idea to control his or her alcohol limit (or maybe some older generations who lives a harsh life).

Kitty현서 really!! It’s easy
I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip
Totally agree that in Korea people are more relaxed about 'the rules' than Japanese people. Easier to make friends in Korea... more Korean people will have studied abroad and will be used to foreigners... I found Japanese people are tightly shut, which is hard to break into as a foreigner.
2:00 - "This is seen as disrespectful to the personal space of others"
3:27 - "There's no such thing as personal space"

@@meghameowkutty2922 they writ meet me or I wanna talk to your parents then it is considered bad 😂😂
Is it bad dat i used it for drawing?
There's a few mistakes in this video.
1. Talking in subway for example, it's allowed to speak or have a quick phone call; just be sure not to be loud enough to disturb other people.
2. Tipping isn't required but it is appreciated here. Even I sometimes tip the waiter if he or she served me nice.
3. Getting into fight is never a good idea, but there's no way Koreans are always unguilty. And even if the foreigners get into trouble, they are sent to jails for foreigners only, where prisoners there are treated a lot better than the prison where locals go. But as I said, avoiding trouble is smart anytime and anywhere.
4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head.
"4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head." utter hogwash. Its done all the time, I've been there for close to a year.

"Dont talk on trains"

Correction to number 9: you only need to avoid writing people's names in red , otherwise it's fine~
Trains: respect other personal space
8: no personal space
Dafuq
that's what I notice 💀
The train is a public space, and it is a manner for us to keep it quiet inside it. We can talk, but if we talk loudly or shout inside, its considered as not respecting others
And no personal space means that its just crowded... there is no need for us to be quiet outside!

When i went to south korea in 2013, i had so much difficulties in communicating with korean esp when im asking for direction. But last year, i found it is so easy to communicate with them.

Please tell some best places to visit in South Korea as I am planning to visit this year
It's always good to learn the language of the country you're visiting. I've noticed that most westerners, don't really bother to learn language of other countries, simply because in most Asian countries they're able to speak English. Korea and Japan are one of the only developed nations who don't focus that much on English overall. But then again, if you're even 30+ then just forget about learning Korean, or for that matter any other language. hahaha. Wish you lots of luck for your next trip. One of my Korean friend told me that generally they don't prefer to speak to foreigner, since they straight out start speaking English with them, but because their shy bunch, they speak nicely to outsiders, rather than showing the bad side of their nation.
I don’t mean you have to speak 100%. But why don’t you study Korean when you visit to KOREA.
receiving things with both hands, is it also necessary when receiving changes from shop or supermarket cashier??
Imma study and live in Korea...so I needed that✊🏻✨

Me: 😑
bruh there’s a difference. it’s a very crowded country so don’t take it personally if you get shoved. but at the same time you have to be respectful when you’re one on one with someone.
@mk you my friend have never lived in a crowded city before. you bump into people 24/7 and it's nothing special that's worth an apology. it's a mutual understanding that you're both busy and it was an accident.
@mk bruh you haven't been in our subways. Ur literally gonna be so squished in there in the mornings, you can barely breathe until you shove people out of the way to get to the door. You are not going to have time to apologize to 40 people before getting out, and if you are just throwing random sorrys, you are being insincere. Just let it go.
it’s crowded af if they are going to say sorry to every single person they pushed accidentally, their voice would be gone before long lol
The duality....
Need to accept a drink:

Yes, you are right. I am also a muslim.
You can tell them no and say it's against your religion and they will respect that. They will just give you shots of water.
I'd be having trouble about that as well coz I'm literally allergic to alcohol. I turn red and my skin becomes itchy af after a shot

you are most welcome to korea. just don't go up north. :-)
Hello Shannon
as a korean, I think I can give you some sense of which of these advices are important, and which are not.
1. Ppl will let you know how to drink. they'll be happy if you follow the proper rules, needless to be bothered much.
2. I don't care.
3. important. I don't care, but you might feel quite incomfortable, and some eldies might be mad at you.
4. trains and subways are usually quiet.
5.
6. + if you call them '이모(imo)', they'll like it.
7. one of the fastest ways to spoil your trip. don't fight
8.
9. who cares. there was such superstition long time ago, and koreans know it, but we don't actually believe it.
10. useful, but not necessary
11. If you share things, they'll like it. But don't force others to share things. ppl tends to be more self-centered these days, so they might not like it.
12. + ppl usually hate japan and china. talking about neighboring countries are not welcomed. I don't care, but some of us do care a lot
Thanks for the information ♡♡
Good info.
Dont mean to insult but, if they ‘hate’ japan or china, what about idols from those country? Such as G idle have Yuqi, twice have japanese members, and etc. i’m just curious
well,thank you...I almost believe everything he had said..

Seoul TV I thought Confucianism was a very important part of Korean culture, what do you mean?
@@noaheverett7347 that's like saying Christian values are a critical part of American life. Apparently, most Americans don't live as pious Christians. Koreans deem confucianism as sth that has been holding back its civilization from the dynasty era dating back 100 years. It's pure capitalism that has shaped the nation facing the north's communism, a reason why the country has achieved a fast economic growth.
Korean immigrants in other countries celebrate the old values to protect their identity. What they perceive as Korean culture is outdated as hell.

6 is realy true.....im korean so i always call waiter like ee mo. ee mo means aunt. so we can have a sence of closeness then ee mo can give an extra
Depends on the train you are taking. On longer train rides you can pay for standing room or seat. I gave my seat to an elderly lady and sat in between the cars on the stairs. Behind me were 3 elderly Korean men eating and sharing shots of beer OB. They invited me over and we had a good old time! Don’t be afraid to learn the culture folks it’s a beautiful country, amazing food and friendly people.
I got to say, these are pretty good tips for new people to my second language country, as a Korean and half Canadian, i HAVE to show my friends your videos, there dying to go to Korea after corona is gone.
great job :>
Just came back from Korea about 2 weeks ago as my first time trip. This is from MY experience. It is true that people will bump into you and not apologize. They won’t say thank you even if you hold open the door for them, more likely just stare at you. The subway seating is VERY strict. DO NOT sit in the elderly reserved spots. The elderly people tend to be harsh and quite rude there, unless it’s the ones at the mart trying to sell you stuff. In general, people are very to themselves and most people I’ve asked for help always stared at me like why am I talking to them kinda thing. However, I have bumped into nicer people willing to help so not everyone is like that, guess depends on your luck? If anyone has any questions, let me know. I’m not korean so this is only based on my experiences as a tourist in Korea.
It is simple to know Koreans. They only know how to see people above and below themselves. When they apologize, it is only when they pose a threat to themselves.

Don’t mind me,
**just listening to this even though I’m not even going to South Korea**
i live in Daegu, South Korea its very nice
may be Bts V birth place is this ..wow😀
Im half Korean, my mother is korean, this guide sounds both helpful yet radical
Always be nice and respectful, you can get away on trouble if you be nice and respectful and this makes Koreans react very nicely with smile and they will let you pass this troubles you accidentally made, dont be a karen on these situations because Koreans usually can get very toxic on arguements and that will emotionally scar you but Koreans also smiles alot if you all only know.
Skip historically political questions especially Japan x Korea and the Korean peninsula issues, ask about Korean culture and Korean society instead and local food, Koreans love to talk about this in hours even!
sometimes you can meet younger Koreans in twenties with bad attitude but Korean elderly are usually extremely nice and very engaging
Dont worry, you can actually ask about K-pop and K-drama with Korean people, they really dont have bad reactions about this unlike in the west
And last one, just dont visit Seoul, try Busan and Jeju as well, theyre a very beautiful sites in Korea
Any international ARMY out here watching this for future (to attend a BTS concert) 💜💜💜
Exactly 💜
✌️
Omg yes, but also to visit because it seems so nice and modern, and I want to visit alot of places korea is just the first 💜
Yeah😭😭
Here is an ARMY
12- don’t post a video on what not to do in Korea and add footage from Japan. There are some unresolved feelings there.
Unresolved could be an understatement 😂. They tried to take us over.
ㅇㅈ ...;😅
Take my respect, sir 👏🏾👏🏾
1:30 ~ 1:37
1:44 ~ 2:04
This is where the Japanese clips are.
The clips here are not Korean.
My thoughts exactly. Politically insensitive. Unwoke.
I love Korea very much, it's a great country, friendly people, very civilized and very advanced with that awesome mix of the traditional that makes it so charming. The temptation for me to stay and live there is very strong.
Wat bout north korean
I agree South Korea 🇰🇷 is a good country and a safe country to visit
@@LovethOlayemi😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
No racism?
@@LovethOlayemi their people im sure are similarly friendly or even more friendlier than south, but the problem is their government.
Great video bro! I'm from brazil and I loved to know that things... Thx!
why am I watching this, I don’t even have much money to go there😭
edit: lmao thanks for the likes
So bad for you
Me also
Fap then
@Kimberly Magallon Still you have to spend money for your daily activity.. Seoul is costly...

12. Don't smoke marijuana. That's prison.

So if joey comes to korea he'll be rude for not sharing..
Cause joey doesn't share food.....
Yessss a friend's fan
Hahahahahaha XD JOEYY DOESN'T SHARE FOOOOOOODDDD~👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes I wish we had a tradition here of not speaking on public transit - or at least speaking in a low volume. I find many people talk too loudly on city buses. In particular I recall once a man in the back of the bus was speaking so loudly on his phone everyone on the bus could easily hear him.
Thank You! With this advice we went prepared to Seoul. We did stay on the foot close to Namsan Park at the Hill House Hotel. It did not matter with how many stars the hotel is rated as everything was absolutely perfect. A cost price that was more than fair that included breakfast, every morning was a delighted one. The location is perfect, as within 20 min on foot there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants, two markets ( Namdaemun Market and Myeong-dong Markets and one has to visit and see the night markets ) , food prepared right there on the street, street performances, jewelry, clothes, shoes, art, traditional clothes, many areas of culturelle aspects, K-pop merchandise and the cable car to the N-tower just 15 min away. Do not waste money on organised tours within Seoul as there are three public tourist bus lines, loop A blue, loop B red, Loop C green and D yellow line ( That is the night line with or without dinner served on the bus. The lines interlook, this way one can visit the entire city hot spots. This for only ~ Au$ 20 some start at 8:30 am and some at 9:00 am and one can hop on and off all day long till 6:30 pm. Some busses have an area open for photo taking or videos, one bus is a doppeldecker with an open upper deck and everyone gets a map and headphones for the multi-lingo highlights advice what to see and do on every bus stop. Get off and in about an hour get back on and continue your bus tour. Take the triple ticket pass over two days for a discounted price and go places, visit Gangnam, see the Lotte World Tower, or the COEX Aquarium, the olympic village, parks and villas, go on a Han River cruise, visit temples, castles, historic places. You may book a tour gettin' out of Seoul to Nami Island, take a K-pop scenery tour. If you brave enough to wear hired historic clothes while walking along, there is NO ENTRY FEE to see museums or temples, the castle and more. Well anyway, don't be shy as every fifth person you run into on the street will speak some English and Koreans are very helpful and friendly. Right now there are AU$ 350 direct 8 hours flights one way from the Gold Coast to Incheon airport / Seoul (conditions apply) restricted language weight and one has to pay for meals! Otherwise, enjoy......and yes we will be there in Korea soon again as there is soooo much more to see and do.
So talking on a train is a sign of not respecting personal space, but #8 said there is no such thing as personal space. A bit contradictory isn't it.
William Stearns And people do talk in trains they just keep it quiet. It’s a etiqquete in a way that they try not to bother others. But not related to physical personal space.
They can talk but not loudly like very loud but you cann talk
his information is false. he is talking about Japan and Korea, while both are very different cultures.
"Jeong" (정) is bonding, or a bond between close friends.
Merci beaucoup pour ces précieuses informations ! Excellente suite !
Thank you for the information about the Korean culture and for what we need to do of right and wrong.
I ain't going to Korea anytime soon but still I am watching this instead of charging my phone which is on 2% WOW
Bts
Me watching this who's not even gonna go to Korea....
You are.so cute
Oh I didn’t know it was a link
I wanted to try it lol
Good video! Other than the pushing and shoving part, a lot of this sounds applicable to neighbouring Japan too. Can't wait to revisit Seoul!
Me and my parents are planning a trip to Korea next year so this video helped :)
Jess Beee *Corona entered the chat*
Ashika Shetty you right😂😤👊
Jess Beee stay safe 😊
Ashika Shetty thank you, you too😊🥺
I know korea very well and some of this is very very wrong
Yeah. true.
I've lived in korea for 17 years and never has anyone called me out for placing my chopstick inside the rice. The whole chopstick in rice thing only applies for Japan and is not considered rude in Korea.
why am i watching this when i don't have enough money to go there😂
same here🤣
Cal: Talking on trains is seen as disrespectful of personal space.
Also Cal: There's no such thing as personal space.
Others: I wanna go to Korea to find an OPPA
Me: I just wanna go and eat Kimchi and Nori
HAHA same 🥢🐶✌🏽😂(jk)
Do you know Kimchi?
Nitin Bhattacharyya yes but I havent tried it yet

Min Jung Hyuk omg sure!!
