![[MY LITTLE OLD BOY] "I have no interest in giving you two dads." (ENGSUB)](/img/n.gif)
I think this is a great representation of the struggle that, not only Koreans have, but any other immigrant nationalities. Many people don’t realize some of the real struggles millions of Americans go through every day.
True that
I honestly agree too.
Dominic Shaheen my parents worked so hard to make a good life for me but since they worked hard and kept going we pretty much stable enough to have a good house good cars and stuff so if you're an immigrant just know you can do it too if my parents can you can
Dominic Shaheen 'real stuggles millions of *Americans* go through' uh
... *don't you mean 'immigrants living in America'?* If you're American, needing a visa to live in America, which is the topic of the video, wouldn't be an issue to begin with.
Regina Phalange recognizing people coming here and becoming apart of our culture makes them “American.” It’s a culture that welcomes people not turns them away. Just an opinion and I know there’s the legal side of it too, but creating a culture that makes others feel welcome and a part of something bigger is the end goal either way.
This better continue because I'm invested
Dakota Castonguay same... I want a show with these characters and this story lmfao
I'm a Korean studying in the US and this video makes me so sad cuz Devin's situation is what I'm most worried about. Would love this video to be a series buzzfeed
XX C what actually he worried about btw? I kinda dont get it.
If he doesn't get a job in 6 months he'll lose his H1-B. The H1-B is a work permit if he doesn't have it he won't be allowed to legally work inside the United States, and will be forced to go back to Korea.
Where do you live in the USA?
how's it going now ?? are you still in the US??
as a korean, noticing korean subtitles in non-korean channel gives me a strange feeling lol.
same here ahahaha
Seeing the Korean title is weirder XD
BOY GRABS HIS KIMCHI. I'M CRYING. Real talk though, this is a great series. I hope there's another part. 감성을 자극하기도 하였다;; 좋아
Laira Chan IKR good kimchi is hard to come by
I'm gonna be known as "Kimchi boy" from now on huh? you know what? I like it
Kenji Kumagai kimchi kenji
kenji kimchi kumagai sounds better no?
Kenji Kumagai oh my god yes
Great video! Buzzfeed's Korean vids are always a pleasant surpriese. 미국에 계시는 모든 한국분들 응원하고, 행복한 연말연시가 되시길 기원합니다🙇♀️
this is true for all if not most immigrants in the US and other countries. The fact that buzzfeed is taking on these issues if even through small skits is a great sign. We need to be more aware that not everyone is living life as well as we think they are, there are struggles (especially immigrants) that they must go through that we will never have to , even being all white is a privilege, most times just because you are born in the country doesn't mean that everyone accepts you. ,Thankfully i live a life where i am not not subject to racism constantly , it isn't perfect but i know i do not go through this problem as mush as others.
Shout out to whoever decided to produce this, and came up with the idea, you are going in the right direction.
It's kinda sad how accurate this is to me. I'm a Korean living in America and all of these struggles are extremely relatable. I hope that everyone out there as a foreign person living in the states has a merry Christmas!
Kelly Shin 한국사람이당❤❤
We don’t know each other but as a child to immigrants who works hard and struggles often, I want to tell you that I’m proud of ya! Keep working and don’t give it up!!! I know it’ll be worth it in the end. You got this. Happy holidays to you!
I'm a child of political refugees and I see this as self victimization. sorry bout it
I am an Korean living in America. Wish your and my luck in 2018.
I am not Korean, but as an international student dealing with all those visa craps, I totally understand the stress. Still dealing with it now. There is no ending for it.
how's it going now ?? are you still in the US??
The montage of Claire getting ready for interviews and practicing her English was too real. Amazing video.
"I hate dental school , I hate teeth I hate it more than my period" 😂 idk why that made me laugh so much

이것또한 미화가 약간 된거군요......사실은 더 팍팍합니다 어딜가나 자기하기나름인거죠....
If you think this is invalidating your own struggles, you misunderstood the video. This is just showcasing another facet of American immigration/cultural differences that a lot of people suffer/deal with. It's not a competition of "who has it worse", it's just explaining and showing another area of life that not all of us deal with but need to know about in order to keep perspective.
If y’all looked at the credits and who wrote it you’d know it was Evan the guy with the brown hair in the video who got kicked from his company. Also if you watched more buzzfeed videos you’d know they have a lot of Korean employees at buzzfeed. You’re saying that they’re not paying attention to other groups but there’s a whole channel dedicated to their Latino employees ( Pero Like ) and include a lot of their employees backgrounds and traditions in videos. So this one video written by a korean , expressing the troubles they and heir friends have had to go through as koreans, in America isn’t going to make buzzfeed an all korean channel. Just enjoy it for once, Evan and everyone else on this worked well and i’m happy they shared their experience with us.
So true. I have been in the US for 10 years and am still on a student visa. I have obtained associate, bachelor, and master degree. All in the hope that I can obtain sponsorship from a company. However, the final round of interview when you ask for sponsorship, most of the time the company will refuse to do so, especially in the last year when Trump attempted to make it harder for international students to get H1B. Yep, there are people who say there is an easy way, marry an American. I would, if I love them for real. I would not lie and marry for the sake of living here. “You are lucky you have an opportunity”. I still feel I am lucky to initially have been able to come to the US and obtain my associate degree. I have worked my butt off and supported myself since then. I am grateful for family and friends who always have my back. If I don’t make it at the end, at least I have given my best. And you know, if you don’t have it, make it. Thanks for making this short. 아자 아자 화이팅!
indonesian?
Sastro Sudarmo Korean maybe
Patricia, I feel you. Damn, 10 years? It/s 5 yrs in less than 4 months for me and I already feel too much. Pressure from family and age, I love being here but sometimes ask myself, does it worth it?
Thank you for sharing your struggles, hope all of you who's in the same situation can achieve whatever you've worked so hard for
This insanity needs to stop. I hope you found a way to stay here!
Why tf are people commenting 'any Bts fans here?‘ Y‘all this is a video about Korean People not Kpop know the difference ffs
exacly
Romy calm down!
That’s like watching a regular American video saying “any celebrities here????”
As a Korean who got sponsored by an American company for my h1 visa and finally got my green card last year, so can related to this video. I spent so much money during those 10 years while I've been here in America. but I am still a foreigner and still have a risk that can be deported back to South Korea any time for very minor mistakes like fighting with somebody or DUI etc, if I want to have an American citizenship then I have to wait another 5 years so during those times I have to manage myself not doing anything wrong, Many Americans don't understand my kinda situations but Staying legally in America as a foreigner is actually really hard, even getting a part time job as an international student is illegal in America. but still a lot of Americans think that we are stealing their jobs. so sad.
thank you for sharing your experiences, they are very interesting to hear. i am so sorry for what you have to go through everyday and during your stay in america event hough i don't live there myself. stay strong !!
힘내세요!! :)
Sorry to hear you've had a rough time. However, the Americans who think you are "stealing their jobs" are poorly educated and only want to point fingers at someone rather than themselves. I'm sorry you deal with such ignorance. Know that what they say is in no way remotely true. Funny, I am an American living in South Korea now - I love this country but foreigners here deal with their own struggles while constantly sticking outside of the Korean idea of normal / culture. But all we can do is ignore the people who try to bring us down and try to make the best lives for ourselves :) Best of luck to you.

The stress..its all very real, I'm chinese korean and my ex was a J-1 intern. She was sponsored by a Korean company in America which means most of the time you are faced strict and harsh management when compared to American companies, where they do not get day offs on most US holidays. And when asked to work overtime you cannot decline. On top of that barely making minimum wage..many of our friends who could not endure ended up quitting and had to go back to Korea.

I feel like this can go to all immigrants not just Koreans.
Exactly. And no offense to koreans at all but MOST of them(not all) come from a wealthy background with educated hardworking parents who support their kids. People from southeast asian like myself, come to america with a very poor background and parents who arent very educated and know very little english. I feel like china/japan/korea immigrants who come to america have a better chance because their own country is economically successful.
iamgem maybe now but my Chinese family members when they came they had it rough. My mom didn't get a chance to finish high school because she had to work. Most my family members ended up working at restaurants.
Yeah every immigrant has it hard :/
True many immigrants share similar struggles. This video was just a peek from the specific perspective of koreans, since each ethnicity has different experiences in america
It’s funny- my dad parents came from southeast asia as a child, and my mom from korea. But both were poor. I think it really is a case by case basis, but overall, yeah koreans tend to be less poor.
some of y’all in the comments section are just talking about the kpop/kdrama vibes but i hope you realize this is happening so much more often than you think, especially for koreans (but definitely applies to all immigrants!!!). it’s never addressed but there’s always a racial prejudice against asians. :(

Make this into a series. This would really profit this channel and many people will view this series if it does become one.

😭😭😭 That was so good! I cried when I saw this video. I remembered how it was like for my parents to come to America but I never knew it would be this hard! Please make this into a full series!
Odd feeling Ive spent half of my life in the United States, all my friends, belongings are all here, but after I graduate I just might not be able to stay here and see those friends again. Feels like I dont belong here, but have no one to blame, just gotta work harder than others
Half of your life and you still feel you don't belong here 💔💔 ah that made me sad.... i hope everything turns out good for you. Good luck.
Hi, I know what you feel. I didn't fit into Korean education because my classmates didn't like the liberal, unique thoughts so I started studying overseas at a young age. Now I've grown up, graduated, and with all my friends, education, and a decade of life here, its hard to think about going back. I guess its just something I need to put my mind into, and think that its not the end, and there are other ways and possibilities to a better future. Good luck to you, and to everyone out there. Happy Holidays!
Ah, I’ve lived in Korea all my life. Why is it that living in America is hard?
I feel ya. I haven’t been here for most of my lives as you guys have but i did spend a significant time of my life in America. It was harder for me to get into my dream school bc of my immigration status but I did get in and I’m excited to start a new era of my life here. But no matter what, the feeling of not belonging still lingers in the corner of my heart. I can’t go back or live the same way home country because now I’m a lot different than most people there but I also don’t feel like I belong here because having been raised in a different culture and society, i’m Still very different from most people in America. This is really weird feeling. Sometimes you go like “screw it!! I am who I am regardless of the country I’m in and the difference isn’t a big deal!” But then on many days you feel like you want to disappear bc you’re not fully wanted/accepted anywhere.
Good luck, you'll succeed 💫🌟⭐️
A lot of people complaining about why they just portrayed korean people in the immigrant struggle but I feel like maybe if it was another nationality or race it wouldn't be the same, I'm Latina and lots of my latinos immigrants friends don't face this kind of struggle its a different kind, but still harsh. So stop complaining and try to see and understand what theyre portraying.

Please make this into a series, it's so interesting and has so much potential!
Thank you for this, it doesn't just speak about Koreans making it in America but rather it speaks for the 800,000 + undocumented immigrants that loves this country just as much as their American counterparts. 800,000 living in constant fear that they will get deported from the only Country that they know and love. Spread Love! Not Hate, and spread the festive joy of Christmas and New Years. Happy Holidays everyone!
Eddie Tan nope. If you’ve *illegally* come to America then you should be deported. 😐
勇利さん ignorant
Of course they fear being deported, they´re illegal immigrants, and they don´t get to feel entitled to their criminality
Please make this a series. The characters are so interesting.
Agree. Hehe
agree here
Everyone saying Asians don't struggle in this country. No we're just quiet about it
Quiet as you spend the whole day playing LOL?
i dont understand why theres so much negative feedback on this video, its a skit showing the struggles immigrants in america face, specifically focusing on koreans. as a korean american, although i havent had to face these struggles nor have my parents had to, its hard because many koreans do love america and wanna build their lives here but face a multitude of obstacles in doing so. this video isnt showing that america is the worst country in the world, or that immigrants are complainers who want everything handed to them. its just highlighting the struggles of a language barrier, being away from family, facing discrimination in society/the workplace, etc. i think it was a great video and koreans have been underrepresented besides people hyping up kpop stars, so i fail to see the problems everyone is complaining about.
2:12 She sacrificed her hair for the short film 😂 bobbed hair looks nice 👍
it could have just been extensions.
Or a wig
She did have a haircut. She posted it on her own youtube channel. Prolly they just included it in the video to make it appear more dramatic.
Cool, do you have a link to that video?
It's just cutting her hair to a medium length
They make a video about Korean immigrants & everyone gets offended. No one said America is the worst place ever, but it's very hard to get the opportunity to live here legally. Get out your bag
Same feeling I’m German and I live in America, until now I’ve only worked hard yet people still called me a nazi, but my visa expired, I also lost the lottery which means I have to go back, don’t know what to think.

Ok but this vídeo was so beautiful made. It is sad, but its the true not just for Korean about for all immigrant people. This is coming from someone who has family in the U.S. , left everyone back because there is where they want to be. And ita probably worth it but hard af.
As an American who studied in Seoul and will go back full time (90% chance) I hope I don't encounter these same hardships for life in Korea. But I know it is probably unavoidable :( RIP
I'm a student now
Wish you good luck!
Why would you want to work in Korea when you could work in America? Working in Korea as a non-korean will reduce your career prospects significantly. You will be at a disadvantage when applying for any job except teaching English.
Ilikecake its her life? She can go wherever she wants to go. Whether its america korea or elsewere as long as she's happy. Life isn't only based on your job/career there are so much things more important including happiness if she's happier in korea then america then so be it
Fair point. If she's happier in Korea, then that is the place to go to. Although for career driven people like myself, moving there isn't the best choice even though I'm fluent in Korean and familiar with the culture.
as an american, i truly do not understand why people are so heartless when it comes to people from other countries and assume they are not able to comply to the jobs here. everyone deserves a chance. this country was built on immigrants and people here seem to forget that. i hope that Koreans or any other people wanting to start a life in america take the opportunity because i honestly support it. love to all. happy holidays!
dont tell me to stop, i feel the way i feel.

Amazing video - really opened up a lot about the hardships and challenges immigrants have to go through to pursue their dreams. I can see how heartbreaking and disappointing it can get when you work so hard yet have your dreams compromised so that you can focus on staying in the country or because you've been fired despite being competent and a good worker. Really nice to gain some perspective on the matter - great video

Is this a new KDrama with all the pretty Koreans from Buzzfeed? Because I love it!
Koreans work so hard to live the best life possible. ((Not saying other races dont either, just taking a moment to acknowledge koreans cause no one really pays attention to us :,) ))
Bunny_Kult Yes. I agree. Koreans are viewed as the minority but are seen to fully sufficient on their own. Black and Hispanics get a lot of help and recognition from America (good or bad) but Koreans are just seen to work hard silently on their own. It’s as if Koreans drew the worst ends of the stick both ways.
Koreans number one league of legends players in the world
or asians in general. Not much said in the media or asian americans in movies
Harrison Lee I’m black and looking for the help and recognition you speak of. Remember, it isn’t necessary to invalidate others’ struggles to shine a light on yours. Oppression is not a competition.
This how many non-Koreans struggle to stay in Korea too. Or pretty much how any other immigrants struggle to stay in a country.
Alina Makgeolina I know right? Some other countries even have it harder since their passport is not as powerful as Korean one. Even just visiting for a short time is hard.
So true
So true
I think maybe Koreans got together and made this video, specifically coming from their perspective.

Im Korean and I lived in different countries growing up and for my work including China, France, US and Singapore
I feel like although this video shows Koreans, the spirit and mood can resonate through all foreigners who lived/worked in America or perhaps another country in such situations.
It can be tough/ seem hopeless but you still face your challenges head on. During those times, I guess it's the genuine moments that makes you stop to look and smile.
Merry Xmas and Happy holidays to you all out there

This is so well filmed, I almost thought it was a Wong fu sketch. You guys even got stephanie michova !!
BuzzFeed seem to be getting more and more into the idea of using the Korean fan wave lol
No complaints from me, but would like to see more shorts/dramas from other languages 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 make it happen #2018 haha
Shynell Vaux idk I like it cuz I'm korean and I bearly see korean stuff in big companies like this :)) but true it will be cool to see other languages too :D
Shynell Vaux lol it’s possible thats a factor as to why they have so many korean american vids, but I think it’s more because they have many korean content creators. Because of the positive responses, theyre able to keep making more videos to share their stories.
The effect of the Hallyu wave ❤
lol buzzfeed is on the "Everything but white and straight" fan wave
I’m Korean and agree with you!

make this into a series, I would totally watch more
korean-americans have a weird little community and as exclusive as it may seem, the contrast between korean and american cultures is difficult to deal with, and having to switch between being two different people around different friend groups is exhausting.
Yoyo String Why would you change who you are to fit in?
I was soo sick and tired of that visa crap so I flew back home. No regrets left behind.
YoungJoo Pyo Totally understandable
응원합니다
Smart choice. US is crap especially if ur an asian man
guitarhamster i dont think so..
asian man have the highest income
of any group in usa
You mean Indians.
Not gonna lie, I cried a little. To anyone that has to go through this, I am so sorry......I literally can't even think of what else to say but sorry. Please, try to stay strong, and don't lose hope......good luck
Can ppl please stop complaining that they should have done a video about all immigrants? I get if many of the struggles apply to various foreign ethnicities, but this video was focused on koreans- is that a crime? To make one video encompassing all ethnicities would be inaccurate, since each ethnicity has a different experience in the US, and then illegal immigrants go through a different process all together. This short focuses on Koreans in america who try to follow the american dream, and theres nothing wrong with that.
Elizabeth Lee if they try people will complain about the groups that don’t make it to the video
Qifan Zhao exactly- it’s basically impossible to show every tribe and ethnicity in one video
Buzzfeed is using Koreans for clickbait since there’s a bunch of kboos who follow em’. I agree with what you said, though
勇利さん lol that’s probably a factor into all their “try korean __” vids, but it’s cool to see the korean filmmakers get to share videos like this, idk
Elizabeth Lee yeah it’s pretty cool
I never comment on UA-cam videos but this just hits too close to home. I was literally in the same situation. I lived in America for 11 years on a student visa. My friends and life are there but this experience seriously gave me an unnecessary amount of stress and a meltdown. Ugh. Now I'm back in Korea and more confused than ever. But kudos to Buzzfeed for making a video that many could agree with.
My BF is Korean we're both teachers, I'm from Mexico and we always struggle all the time to make time for us... and meet us and get some time together... but at the end.... we always do our best.
I NEED THIS TO BE A FULL SERIES
6년 전에 본 이영상이 현재 내 이야기가 될줄이야...
I feel like watching Korean drama on Buzzfeed
Why does everyone clamor for more diversity but then a video like this is made and ppl whine “oh just koreans, what about x race”. Yes, i hope one day each ethnicity will have fair, accurate representation, but when we get that for one ethnicity we shouldn’t tear it down bc not all are progressing at the same time on ONE youtube channel.
No one is tearing it down,but to some it feels like it invalidates other races and or nationalities,ijs *shrugs*
Burrito Senpai I see your point, but there are some comments on here that are saying “stop just showing korea korea korea”, when a few years ago no one knew about korea. So yes, some are tearing it down, but ik that some are saying what you said
마음의 준비라니 먼가 말투가 웃기당ㅋㅋㅋ
헉 디디맘님 여기계셔ㅋㅋ
hope everyone has a great christmas!
sophia elena thank you, you too!
Thank you very much! Hope you have a great chritmas too❤
Thank you very much ms sophia
u too!!
sophia elena thank you you too
Since when did buzzfeed become a k-drama
꼭 미국만이 아니라 본국을 떠나 사는 사람은 다 똑같아요
awesome hope they continue this
This is kinda true. But I do have to say tho that at least 70% of foreign people in U.S go through those situations.
Me and my family lived in America for about three years and we came back to Korea. My mom says she never wants to go to the States even for a vacation. I don’t know what other people would say about this but living as a foreigner is that hard.
I'm sorry what? That's it? We need a part two...
BUZZFEED!
DON'T WE LEAVE US WITH THE START OF SOME ACTUALLY DECENT CONTENT!!!
This should be a weekly series! it is so good. We have Atlanta, we have inSecure, now we NEED K.I.A. (Korean In America). Netflix, HBO, Hulu, get on it!!
그래도 미국은 다른 나라보다 많이 나은 편이긴 한데 동양인이 주류가 아닌지라 아직 많은 부분에서 제약이 따르죠...근데 또 어렸을 때부터 쭉 살던 친구들은 익숙해서인지 별로 개의치 않아 하더라고요. 몇년 생활하다보면 그거 나름대로 적응하는거 같고...외국에 계신 분들 모두 힘내자구요💪
i need more of this Buzzfeed MOOOOORE
