The American student makes a good point about emphasis on age. I like the idea of respect for your elders, but being asked you age constantly would be irritating for me. Although part of the Korean diaspora in my culture it is rude to ask someone's age. Also I am very happily surprised he has opportunities to speak French in Korea of all places!
Tbh as a korean, I think age culture is dumb. Would happily respect elders but it's so dumb that we should pay respect and say in a way more polite way if they are born 1 or 2years faster than me. Ngl I think the age culture is one of the main factor why we lack creativity.
I totally agree with the Jamaican student about the contrast between drivers and those subway patrons. Unfortunately that is not specific to Korea. I see the same impatient (sometimes aggressive) drivers here in Canada. That said he will also soon learn about "pali-pali" culture in Korea.
I agree that we should respect the elders but one year difference is not that much! In k-dramas,I watched a lot of scenes as respecting others who have only one year difference! It's kinda odd thing about Korea or Korean people! But overall their society is nice!
Korean ppl don't call each other by name. They call each other by relative-designations. I.e. when you call your friend(named Yong In) 1 yr older than you, You would call him "Hey! Yong! How are you?", but Koreans would say "형! 뭐해?" So it is, actually, important to know other's age, entering year of high school/college, military serving, and all kinds of background information in Korean language.
It won’t work. If person A is born on June year 1 and person B is born on Dec year 1, they can be friends. If person C is born on June of year 2 and B decided to become a friend with C, this can work between them. However, when all three meets, it will cause social awkwardness because A and C have age gap of 1+. This isn’t the worst of it. If C friends with D who is born on jan of year 3. When all four meet, age gap between A and D is 2+. And this chain can grow arbitrarily long.
I’ve lived in Korea for 5 years. It’s not that they have to respect elders, -they very much often do not. It’s just about taking with honorific language when someone is older. That’s a very specific kind of respect.
Apparently a lot of people do but it’s honestly really hard. I’m watching because i plan to study abroad next year and have been learning the language. I have been told it it’s a whole different level required to be able to actually do things like transportation or trying to make a phone plan and basically even people who have studied the language for years have trouble
But yea they should try it’s just that it’s good that people don’t have super high expectations especially when I think most people decide to study abroad only about a year or a few months before and since you are in college sometimes it’s difficult to have the time to really learn a ton (especially if you have to work to save up for it etc.)
Sad, i wanted to go to korea so badly as an Au Pair but apparently it's very hard to find a host family there. Even harder as a boy. And even harder if you are not from an english speaking country. So now i'm here in spain 🥲

When a Jamaican says that the food is delicious, then it's really good.
The Jamaican student was so thoughtful and insightful

Totally agreed.. Even as a Korean. Really want to change these kinds of things. I don't think that just as a 'culture'. Super odd.

i agree the Californien guy, why do we always have to respect the ones who are older than us
I can’t agree more!
@@JinsStreetInterview thanks for video btw :)
@@galaxyofmine No problem. Thanks for watching.
im in california and you should have respect for everyone regardless of your age . and he should respect his mirror with his tie dyed hippi pants

Could you please incorporate black Muslim girls in your videos and their struggles ✨.
It’s pretty nice

@@JinsStreetInterview would love to apply in a university in Korea

One day I will come to visit Korea
South Korea or North Korea Which part?
Of course South!
Idiots like you shouldn't come smh
@@JinsStreetInterview 😂😂you saved him!!
@@JinsStreetInterview you really saved him!😂😂
Maybe one day you can visit North Korea.
Do you know a university in korea that has a hospitality exchange program for one semester?
Honestly I feel like they should at least make an effort to learn the language. I mean they are the foreigners after all.
