I have also noticed a sudden increase in the number Koreans in Singapore in the last decade, from almost none to hearing snippets Korean conversation on almost daily basis, having Korean neighbours in my hdb block and friends marrying Koreans.
+zzajizz thank you for watching zzajizz :)
Same..
I see that the sign of South Korea is not doing too good. Who would leave their home if they are having a good life and can secure a job easily? Competition is fierce. Just like China and India.
As a Singaporean watching this video, it is very interesting as how Koreans view Singapore . Really like the content of this video . Keep it up the good work !!!
kei thanks for your comments!
I hope you enjoy our video !
Welcome to Singapore and hope you guys so far have enjoyed your stay here!
Grass is always greener on the other side.
I'm a Singaporean, I love it here but the weather is a killer 😂
+LEONG Yet Thank you for the well wishes! We are enjoying ourselves so far.. sticking close to the aircon!
i dont think Singaporeans find Korean that popular in Singapore. I mean they r not disliked. Just neutral impression. The reason is Singapore is very global and we have seen many nationalities n foreigners in this country. Plus Singaporeans travelled a lot and widely. We know that they are in this country for work n living. Before Korean, Singapore has a large Japanese expat community but not anymore. They move to Thailand Vietnam and Malaysia.
Thanks for your comment Lotat MTB 😃
Welcome to Singapore 🇸🇬 😊 I lived in Daegu, South Korea from 2011-2013 and loved it! I love hearing and seeing more Koreans here in Singapore.. 😊 Singapore is a melting pot of different cultures! I am from South Africa 🌍
Oh in Daegu? You choosed the most warm place in my country haha.
Hope you had good time in Korea and ya, thx for greeting us !
intheworldofmari surprised to see u here. I follow your channel. Haha
Thanks for giving an authentic and responsible sharing of your experiences and perspectives of living in Singapore... I like the idea that Koreans like you 2 care about the good impression and impact you made whilst here and wana leave a good one representing Korean or Korea at large.
싱가포르 사람들이 당신을 환영 합니다. 여기에 체류를 즐길 수세요. 화이팅.
감사합니다👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 thanks a lot 😊
I'm Singaporean and have worked in a Korean company in Seoul for 3 years. there's really a stark difference working in Korea compared to sg, all the women had to clean the pantry and serve drinks to guests, there's a huge gender equality difference there and crimes against women isn't taken very seriously. so yeah, I definitely agree a Korean woman would wanna work in sg! also there's so much Korean food and Korean stores in sg, you can get kimchi anytime, no need to pack those in your suitcase when u come! 😏
Sorry to hear that. We will talk about this issue in next episode. Don’t miss out😃
I like how kimchi is one of the priorities HAHA
@@eddy-currents i tried kimchi once and im not having it again lol....
@@whitecamellias3248 yeah, not my thing either, that's why it's kinda interesting to me that it's so important to so many Koreans
This video appeared on my recommended list and I'm glad it did. I agree that everyone who comes to Singapore, be it for work, studies or even for holidays, should learn to respect and understand Singapore's culture. Especially when Singapore is a multicultural and growing multinational country.
I've also heard foreigners criticising Singapore several times by speaking in their native language in public as they think locals don't understand. With technology's advancement and growing interests in other countries/ languages, we are bound to understand and learn other cultures too~
둘이 조합 잘 맞는거 같아요! 다음 영상 기대할게요!^^
+수정 구독과 관심 감사합니다👏
I'm a Singaporean and have learned HANGUL many years ago, although not fluent conversationally, i can still understand almost 70% - 80% of most conversations and YES, i do agree with you 수정 씨 that one has to be mindful when voicing their displeasures and criticisms out loud in public. Although everyone is entitled to his/her opinion, but someone might just understand it perfectly without you knowing and - OUCH*
Yes. Some foreigners think locals don't understand by speaking in their native language. This is a mistake because many Singaporeans can learn easily other languages outside the main 3 (English, Chinese, Malay). Even I can understand some Tamil words
Escaping haze caused by China and getting haze caused by Indonesia
Hahaha 🙊
indonesia will ask you to be thankful of them for 11 months of fresh air
Taufiq AR fresh air is a right. Do you thank any country for providing you with water ?
@@Jordantzd and do you thank the country that provide you CLEAN and FRESH water?
Ada Aku Kisah no because without us to clean their shitty water they would be drinking mud.
Super LOVE this video!! It’s so true abt coming to Singapore and not knowing how to speak ENGLISH!! Being in the tourism industry..i could see the Koreans are one of the many countries who took effort to speak to us in English where as...there’s another country which i dun wanna mention,juz came to us and expect us to speak in THEIR language! Respect and accept and acknowledge the culture of the country is so so important!!
Thank u so much for sharing this! U guys really speak up what’s in my mind!😊😊😊
Thanks so much Norlin !
Im curious What if we talk to Singaporean in our language? Hahaha
Hi!! Wow! U reply to me!😂😂
Ok..to be honest..i must say..NONE of the koreans ever come to me speak in Hangul. I’m impressed that they took the effort to actually speak simple English to me at least. I guess most of them know that our 1st language is English. Juz like u mention,”When u go to Rome, behave like the Romans.”
But if any Koreans were to speak to me in Hangul..i cannot imagine!😂😂😂I guess i have to use sign language or drawing..😂😂
@@Hongleesalon Though this comment was 2 years ago, we would say annyeong haseyo ~ :), uh mainly because that's the only thing we know from watching kdrama and kpop 😅
I send a lot of koreans from tanjong pagar almost every night. When they are drunk , especially the guys, their Male chauvinist character surfaced.
Many times they yelled at me to go their way which was a longer way, when I ignored them .
Yet they have the mentality that because I'm a woman ,I must listen to them. Had called police on them a few times .
Sorry for your bad experiences with Korean.
I think they didn’t attend to primary school,,, not all the Koreans are like that stupid
@@Hongleesalon i hv observed for many yrs that Koreans in Spore are not as polite and friendly as Japanese . Even Korean shop owners in Far East Plaza are v stuck up..not trying to make any effort to welcome customers.
To answer why Sporeans making plans for their activities is because they make priorities and they have to spend time with their family, unlike you who may be living in Spore alone. And Sporeans dont drink as much as Koreans.
Koreans pay a lot attention to their appearance. Its v true..as visiting the plastic surgeon is as common as going to a bar for a drink . We dont subscribe such fake values because we should be happy with whatever looks our parent give us. Too bad if our friends /colleagues dont like our face. Relationship is built with sincere hearts NOT fake faces. I feel really sorry so many Koreans do plastic surgery and they all look the same..
@@blessedcheflim8579
You don't have to bring in Japanese people
Have a bunch of Korean friends, went out with a Korean girl in the past, honestly most Koreans in Singapore aren't like that. If they are they should/would be kicked out of Singapore HAHA
@@blessedcheflim8579 True
As a Korean woman there is one thing that I can never agree with you guys. I've been to almost 50 countries until now, lived in a couple of countries and compared Korea with other countries in so many aspects. For me, Korea is a pretty safe country and all my fellow Korean female friends think the same as me. I've never hesitated to go out alone late at night.
8:35부터 말씀하신 건, 와... 진짜 깊게 공감을 합니다. 저는 좀 전에 싱가폴에 있는 한국회사에서 근무했던 싱가폴인입니다. 만나던 한국동료들은 거의 다 한국어만 쓰고 밖에서 회식을 해도 한국식당에서 했어요. 그 분들도 여기에 이미 최소 2~3년 정도 계신 분들인데 맨날 한식만 먹고 한국인들만 만나고 영어 안 쓰고 로컬음식 별로 안 먹더라고요. 제가 보기엔 너무 아까운거예요 여기 싱가폴까지 왔는데 다문화 잘 느낄 수 있고 자기들의 영어 실력을 늘 수 있는 좋은 기회인데 그걸 놓친거예요 ㅠㅠ
암튼 두 분들 영상 처음 보게 됐는데 구독을 했고요. 나중에 더 좋은 영상들을 기대하겠습니다~ ^_^
+Charmaine Teo 시청해주셔서 감사합니다. 근데 싱가폴분이세요? 한국말 너무 잘하시는데? ㅎ
great content and chemistry! I'm a Singaporean who lived in Korea for about a year and I can't agree more about what you guys said about Korea and Koreans lol. Glad to know that you guys seem to enjoy living in Singapore :) Looking forward to more videos!
Haha we just talk something about “general stuff” but its good to hear you have had good time in my country 😃
I really appreciate that you guys mention about adapting to new environment. I find that some foreigners bring whatever rules, law,policy that they are used to back where they were from and then get all defensive and pissed when things are not what they are used to.
I totally agree!
There is a sizeable Korean community near where I live, which is around Beauty World area, where they have set up several Korean restaurants, butchery, language schools in the area. Many of them are family run and most of the kids that help out speak very good English. Maybe when you expand your business, you can also open a hair salon there.
+HappyP hi HappyP. Would you like to invest us to open a salon in Bukit Timah? Lol
@@Hongleesalon If only I have the money. Haha.
Yes i study at bukit timah and frequent beauty world for food and true to say that there’s literally a bunchhh of korean family restaurants in that area! But sadly to say some of the quality isn’t as good as what i’ve tasted back in korea, or not as good as my korean classmate’s family restauarant:((( and they charge seriously exorbitant prices because of the hype w korean food lol
Not only Koreans, even caucasian from the UK/US. Some tends to be picky and fussy around food.
I don't get it, if you travel abroad, keep a open mind and try everything, local cuisine, culture, etc.
I agree
idk why this popped out in my youtube recommendation, but i'm glad it did. i find the 2 of you share a very interesting point of view, having said that. you've earned a new subscriber, please keep up with the content
Its so glad we have you now Erlina :)
Hongleesalon 마찬가지로
@@88ETan Wow you can speak korean or is it google translate XD
Case obviously Google translated 😂
I mean Singapore have korea food too... and i love Japanese and Korean food and i am a Chinese,
The planning part is quite true, Singaporeans typically plan for retirement and have high level of savings.
really is it that easy to get a work permit visa to Singapore? I ask because I am considering of moving to Singapore or Hong Kong.
The last piece of advice is golden . I actually have learnt to enjoy Korean humor.Good job guys .
Thanks weekuah 😃
Like how you guys talked about how koreans should respect the locals and culture of Singapore! Goodluck to many more years of staying in singapore~ may it be a beautiful and learning experience
Not many more years. Its “forever” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
South Koreans love Singapore very much🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷😍🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷😍🇰🇷😍🇰🇷😍🇰🇷😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇰🇷🇸🇬🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬☹🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍😍🇸🇬🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬😍🇸🇬🇸🇬🇰🇷🇰🇷🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇰🇷🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇰🇷🇰🇷😍🇰🇷😍🇰🇷🇰🇷🇰🇷
There are many Koreans now residing in Indonesia. You can see multiple of Korean youtubers like you posting videos.
Its because of richer Indonesian cultures, religion, scenic natural beauty and lower cost of living that fascinate them.
You should consider exploring Indonesia than Singapore.
For records, Im a Singaporean.
Thanks , it really helps
I am proud to say I have a korean sister-in-law, she let me know korean culture better.
Yes Singapore might be a multi-racial & country with freedom but please respect our main cultures & religion we have here basically the local Malays, local chinese, local indians and eurasians. I noticed foreigners when they become large in numbers they tend to act full of themselves & disrespect the locals. Some even bringing their uncivilised & uncultured behaviours here. Learn the local cultures so you know the Do's & Don'ts. And yes please learn english..dont be like China workers who did not bother to learn english because they expect Singaporeans of other races to speak to them in Mandarin. I personally have no respect for people who thinks that we must adhere to their language when they are the ones who settled in our country. Thank you.
I agree when in Rome, do what the Romans do.. it’s the best way to fully experience and appreciate another country’s culture :)
"there's nothing to buy in singapore" you're so right!!!
😂
Good for saving money if u work here.

What Singaporean top priorities in society?
Singaporeans students place educational results as top priority.
Singaporean adults placed ranking as top priority. The higher the better.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
im not korean but i also had the impression that the yellow dust came from china but i just watch a video from asian boss stating that more than 50% of the dust is actually produced domestically but during concentrated periods, yes they do for the most part come from china, thats why koreans associate the pollution with china.
Yellow dust came from Mongolia my dude not china.
*Its hot there as compared to Korea like 32 degrees in Singapore and 28 degrees in Korea* 🇸🇬🇰🇷
Sometime, summer weather in Korea is hotter than Singapore
Korea’s summer is about 36~40
Thank you for sharing, nice info and i can understand more why koreans go to singapore, you got a sub👍😎
I hope you like it here in Singapore, the weather might be bad but give it some time and you will get used to it. Good luck!
Singaporeans don't drink soju. we drink Tiger beer. #dowhattheromansdo #beerwithice
+Zack Zainal we love Tiger beer:)
Haram bruv.
If you want to enjoy nature and modern life style... visit Malaysia. Definitely much cheaper for the same living facilities you're getting now!
There are many Koreans then the past I and I made a few friends who are Koreans but they went back to Korea last year and that was the last time I seen them really do missed them hopefully will see them soon again
Singapore's economic status kinda relies on foreigners coming in n working so if SG was to limit who can come in our economy could fall
N y SG is safe is cuz other than our expensive n successful structures there's nothing else that is really useful cuz without it's structures SG is nothing it's an island without natural resources
You seems so proud of it ! And we also like Sg 😍
There us nothing to be 'proud' truthfully: we got incumbent be on building infra-structures and more! Disneyland but many citizens got to struggle to pay higher prices and more taxes 🐮 understand {got to see below the smoke sometimes} 🙏🙏👭
Im not sure but some of the koreans ive met are not friendly . To the extend of being stuck up .
This is such an insightful and interesting video, I subscribed today 👌🏼 love the funny ments 🤣 would like to know what Singaporean food gave you a shock the first time you came across it?
Frog! And Durian lol
You're smart to dodge the fine dust question.. lol..
+Pla Factory haha thanks Pla Factory
Hongleesalon Is China very sensitive about people criticising its pollution? Why is it bad to openly talk about this problem?
@@anthtan Well, let just say the fine dust is not something that they can control much since it's dust storm from tehir deserts, plus S Korea itself does have their own pollution problem, from cars and some industries I heard. So it's a combination of both. So to totally put the blame on them of course they won't be happy.

Just chanced upon your channel. You guys are funny. The editing is amusing too. Who does the subs? c:
We have a Singaporean friend who can speak Korean fluency. She help us sometime :)
I see Koreans everywhere these days. The moment I step out of my HDB and to a nearby community centre, I’ll hear a group of Korean ladies chatting or Korean man talking loudly
+Potato Stew hopefully it is not me 😂
Hongleesalon hahaha. I do agree with you that Korean women find Singapore safe because as a Singaporean female, I don’t feel a thread of danger at all in Singapore.
Singaporeans have a bad habit of leaving our bags around because we are too complacent, especially students. We will never imagine someone taking our things
haha.. love your chemistry and so funny. great points also you've made. nice to have you guys here.
I love this episode too

+The Fluff Moo Thanks For your sweet comment Fluff Moo:)
on the planning part, singaporeans plan becos we all have our own personal commitments i.e: family, children, spouse etc we have to respect other people personal commitments as well. We value family first. We cannot assume they be free and meet out of our own convenience and in their inconvenience. I think koreans are impromptu becos they dont really regard other people personal commitments. Or respect their personal commitments. Thats why when you watch Hello Counsellor, theres alot of issues esp amongst married and families, when their spouse go to drink after work 3-7 days a week after work, as if they dont have family to serve. Thats why bosses expect subordinates to go home only after they go home despite wasting time at office. They have no regard to other people personal life. They just meet at their convenience, even at the other party inconvenience or causing inconvenience to the wife and children. Also may in Seoul, alot lived alone, so they call each other out out of boredom. They dont have to care abt families or mother or father. Lifestyle in Singapore is different. If they live alone like those people in Seoul they prolly wouldnt have need to plan what timing are convenience. Koreans should stop the drinking culture its very bad. Other countries have drinking culture also, but i dont think they are as bad. With koreans, drinking is like out of control.
i love the banter between you guys!!!!
Banter each other now
Ban each other soon
And yes foreigners causing trouble, they forget singapore has a strict law. We have crimes, but its not to the point we fear for our lives. And our police are efficient, u cause trouble u cant run far.
6 minutes into the video and they haven't even mentioned about THE FOOD....
Welcome to Singapore guys. Singapore's first language is English. But don't many speak Singlish which is not fluent English. This is a multiracial country. Pls don't stare at others cos it's an invitation to a fight; it's a shame. Humans but behave like animals. Just be weary cos we do have gangsters, of different triads. Wish y'all have a gd life in Singapore. God bless.
Oh ya I heard abt some cases happened in Orchard Plaza. So scary
Great video, I really enjoyed it. Your personalities work well together. Cheers from Australia.

Wow the translation is really good. Using a similar 속담 instead of translating directly.
Where I put my 속담 dictionary.. let me see 😭😭😭
@@Hongleesalon Oh, I hated those... (shudders) It's like the equivalent of 사자성어
if you are referring to Seoul not being safe for women, i guess it may be some areas like Itaewon . Also I have seen lots of your women protesting "Me Too" at Seoul, so it is a matter of one lone woman versus a group of angry Korean women shouting at men
Interesting that u expressed that Koreans would be more inclined to betray or be less supportive of each other in New York or overseas than Chinese people.
Why is there such a proclivity ?
I absolutely have no idea. Maybe Same nationality is more easy to cheat on ?

Lots of korean eateries
So many Rubbish bins? You will have hard time finding 1 in the Mrt vicinity. So 'many' should be hair saloon or barber shop. They charge from $100 plus to $4.
Compare to Korea yes.
Erm, don't we already know the rubbish bins around Mrt were removed because of security reasons. Before the growth of the terrorism threat, they were readily available.
Badd idea...
where's ur salon at? need a hair cut
