Even teachers aided in the bullying - disgusting. As the adult, their responsibility is to watch over and look after the kids and guide them in the right direction. silence is being complicit.
There is a rampant bullying problem In Korea from every generation. It’s like an open secret they don’t talk about
In Canada some teachers were supporting people who bully
It’s so sad
I still struggle with what my teacher did back then i totally Relate to how he feels and teachers should behave differently not worse than a kid even kids know that better
They should be kick out from their professions…!!!
I mean I'm not surprised for such a conserved country that doesn't like outsiders much. Many koreans are very nice but a lot in general are not even to each other as well. It's really hit or miss.
My best friend is half-Korean and her parents told her raising her outside the country was the best decision they ever made. Her brother went to school there initially but he was bullied so badly that he committed suicide. Luckily he survived...but it was the one event that pushed them to leave the country. It's sad to see nothing has changed in regards to that.
That means he attempted it
I'm sorry your best friend's family had to experience that, but I am relieved their son is okay. But it is important to note that he did not commit suicide, rather he attempted it.
Also, using the phrase "committed suicide" is not in good taste as it was made and used during a time where suicide was seen as a crime or sin. A more appropriate and neutral phrase would be "died of suicide" or "death by suicide." And yes, how we phrase things in the psychological field is very important as outdated, harmful words such as "committed" only add on to the stigma behind mental health and further alienate people suffering from mental health issues.
Excuse me I was reading this thinking nothing bad would happen but what the fuck? He committed suicide? Thank God he’s still alive.
You might want to rephrase that
Making shit up online... pathetic..
This culture where the teacher says "You're a foreigner, this is how things work in Korea" is disgraceful.
The other excuse is "It's Just Kids Joking around." There was this show, I forgot the title, that invited a mixed race guy where they talked about his experience growing up in Korea. Of course he brought up the fact that he was bullied for his skin color(he was brown) and the hosts inserted jokes while he was telling his story then, towards the end they told him not to take those incidents seriously, cuz it's "Just Kids Joking around." The thing about this bullying issue is that media and koreans are more sympathetic to bullying issues when it concerns Koreans more than they would mixed race children or immigrant children. The adults make excuses for the behavior of the children so that they can ignore the fact that they have a prevalent racism, xenophobic, and bullying problems. And of course, there's the Homophobia and Sexism.
@@junesmind7325 The mental gymnastics that I’ve seen so many Koreans go through to justify the issues in the country is literally mind boggling. Wish they would redirect some of that energy to actually fixing the problem
Asians get bullied and tormented in france aswell. Acting like you're superior
And they wonder why there is a high suicide rates in the school system, because these teachers or should I say the system do not care. In fact, they promote it.
True!!!!
He literally looks like a model. The kids that bullied him were probably jealous.
My eldest one said a friend said something bad to him for being half peruvian and half chinese, I asked him if this "friend" can understand Spanish too and if he is learning chinese or if he'll have the chance to visit Perú and China, he said "no, he only speak Italian", so I told him "he is probably jalous, look at you, u can speak and understand Italian and Spanish, u r learning Chinese little by little, I'll help u with ur English and French if u want, so we'll be able to travel around the world to visit our relatives, ur grandparents in China and my grandparents in Perú, u enjoy both Christmas and the chinese new year, u got the hongbao twice, he probably doesn't know what is a hongbao, u r lucky, take advantage of all we offer u and, be wise choosing ur friends, u r still little but, u can choose good friends with whom you'll feel good", Eliah was pretty happy about "I have a lot, I know a lot, I'm kind and clever, he isn't" 🤣 7 years next week, it's hard as a parent to protect them for this acts, that boy is so handsome, wise, gentle, a good son, he should feel proud, he is a nice young man.
If bullying is so terrible in Korea the parents should register their children in homeschooling, and it's becoming popular around the globe.
You are right
The boy is very handsome, handsome People creat à great jaelousy
Bullying is so normalized in Korea that even MCs react saying "Aww poor buddy" instead of getting mad at the bullies. This is sickening
Literally.. so disgusting. Makes you wonder if they would have that same nonchalant response if it was their own children being attacked 🙄
I exactly had the same reaction, like how fast they skip the subject « ooh poor thing, and what about you schedule » like wtf
It's not normalized, it's common.
If someone was recognized as being a bully in workplace or when they were at school they will get ostracized. If they did it in middle school or high school, their actions will follow them until workplace (unless their parents are rich people). Its has been even more the case in the recent years, when every students of a famous idol school (Seoul School of Performing Arts) decided to show everyone what was going on their school (the teacher using the students to do seks related to stuff, punishing them for no reasons or very harshly and many more).
I'd say, people there focus more on punishing the bully than taking care of the victim mental and physical state
@@narudayo5053 It's literally normalizing bullying if everyone's becoming desensitized to it and no one is bothering to make a change though...
Bullying is nature of human beings.
I was a high school English teacher in Korea for a few years. During my first year of teaching, a female student in my class was bullied badly to the point where there were bruises on her body. She was a smart student, very quiet, and her family was struggling financially. I heard the other students making fun of her for being poor.
I informed the head director of the school a few times about the bullying that was happening, and he told me not to get involved because it's nothing serious and "kids will be kids." After asking around since I couldn’t find a support system (I mean, I was just a foreigner in my first year of teaching and I didn't know much Korean), I soon found out that this was common in Korea.
One day, the bully was hitting the victim on the head a few times so I grabbed the bully's hand and told her to stop it. The bully and her parents reported me to the director. The director was shouting at me and called me stupid many times, and kept apologizing to the bully and her parents. Out of the 3 adults (excluding myself) in that room, no one believed that there was any bullying going on.
A few weeks later, I found out that the victim was bullied outside of school so badly to the point where she attempted suicide and then she left the city to live with her grandmother in the countryside. I sometimes wonder how she is and what she is doing now. She should be around 23 or 24 years old now.
That is so disgusting. Hopefully the girl is fine.
Damn this makes me cry
Holy smoke, that's so irritating me, da*n!
Wow.. im sure she remembered you protecting her. Sadly, the bullies in k dramas are probably toned down to look minor compared to what actually happens. Its so fucking sad the country allows bullying.
Back in my country in Mongolia when i was around 7-8, I used to bully this girl cause she was poor. (I regret it a lot and I’m sorry) Luckily when I was bullying her in class one time, the teacher at the time beat me up worse than anyone had ever beaten me up to that point and it really made me never do it again and realise what I was doing was horrible.
These guys are seriously so handsome. Their face is very good looking and they look very healthy and athletic. It’s cliche that bullies bully others because they are jealous, but in this case I bet it was true.
Model-material thats why those bullies bullied them. They can never look like them even if they get surgeries 😂
@@dee12yearsago88 I also think that it’s the raison damn they are soooooo handsome
beauty is subjective. in south korea, someone who is tan and has certain facial features is not considered beautiful.
@@ISangaloUnofficialFR It is, but it's a lot better than it used to be. The older generations are mostly the ones that still follow this kind of mindset but the recent ones, they really dont care much
@@ISangaloUnofficialFR Korean men are not even considered masculine by most western women
hope his teacher and classmates are watching this right now bullies!!😡😡 i think they don't know the word karma
Korea needs anti-bullying campaigns like in the U.S. Parents and the school system need to work together to educate students. Everyone deserves respect. You can't just blame the bullies only when the bullies have parents and teachers who allow the bullying to continue.
They have them. They also increased video surveillance. They now have school violence committees and stuff can go on a permanent record. Look to the adults and the Korean Air nutgate scandal. There was talk of employee and families being threatened in terms of work and education opportunities. There is adult bullying there is kid bullying. What makes such little sense is Korea for decades have sent people abroad for work and study and suffered discrimination for being foreign or biracial for those who marry outside Korea and have kids. The news is full of accounts of how horribly Korean have been treated abroad for not being American, German, etc… Yet in Korea foreigners and multicultural children are not treated well. It’s why a lot of soldier’s kids ended up adopted outside of Korea from the 50’s onward. Physical danger to multicultural kids. Also kids from broken homes or orphans are not protected as well as poor kids.
All those shows where they show this bullying must be right.
US bullying is the worst! With all the gun shooting happening and students fearing for their lives there every day, you american have no right to lecture Korea when you can't even solve your country's school bullying and violence. You're no any better than Korea. At least, Korea doesn't have gun shooting in schools.
@@JW-rj6dx if theachers doesnt allow that and interfer is better .
Can you ignore them when they stole your things? what if they put you on hospital because they beat up until you get unconscious?
@@franciscovilcheavila960 no one helped me when i was getting bullied but myself. And most teachers in korea do take it seriously and does something about it.
The notion that bullying is any better in the west is non sense
Its ironic how he was bullied, her mom complaint got ignored. But then, they are volunteering giving back to community.
That's a true example of "Never let the trash around you get inside you"
That’s not what irony means.
I wanna say clearly that these are the things that I don't like about Korea. We all are human beings, if we don't live in Korea or if we don't look like Koreans then it doesn't mean that we are alien. How disgusting. I don't say that Korea is a bad country but sometimes people with weird kind of attitude disappoint me a lot.
Same
Happens in many other countries too, even the USA. If you look different you don’t always get treated well
Do you live in Korea?
"these are the things that I don't like about Korea" - as if bullying exists only in Korea, and everyone bullies foreigners in South Korea. There are lots of bullies in US, Europe, but people just don't make as many tv episodes about it. I lived in Russia and could easily claim that "this is the thing i don't like about Russia"
It's especially bad in Korea and teachers pretend they don't see it
amazing woman raising her kids to be responsible despite being bullied. I hope the next generation of Koreans will stop this kind of nonsense and focus more in improving themselves.
Most mother's will do this for their kid
even the next generations kids are bullying in class these days this culture of bullying in korea doesnt seem to stop till 70
@@_angelina__d_ yeah it’s literally an endless cycle lmao. I’ve been in and out of Korea within the past 20+ years and hardly anything of the mindset has changed. Still very traditional and even old fashioned in many aspects
Hope he finds success in life. His mom did a great job raising him. PS love the shade in the subtitles😂
hi u ... who is he ?
As a former teacher in Korea this is so disturbing. Sometimes I wished I worked there for longer and with older kids so I can stop things like this
You couldn't see the systematic bullying?
You don't have to work in Korea to make a difference. Bullying occurs in every country.

To those that are brushing this off by saying "bullying happens in every country", while that may be true, bullying is VERY prominent in korea whether you like it or not. It's so normalized that it happens not only within schools but within workplaces, and is so often excused by their superiority system. Please read and watch stories from ex hagwon teachers in korea. There's a reason why the term 'Hagwon horror' is a thing(not all hagwons and public schools, but its common). You would rarely hear that many bullying and suicidal incidents(from kids and teens) like you would here in the U.S. It's sad.
exactly. the people that go "oh, bullying happens in every country!" are part of the problem. some east asian countries have a big culture with bullying and unfortunately linked suicide rates. there's a reason why a chinese movie about bullying a few years ago became very popular, because it did not sugarcoat this huge issue. even social services and support is lacking, not to forget that your superiors may condone or overlook it. progress in solving this is hard because it is so case by case and area by area.
I was one of the few Asian students in a predominantly white school, in Australia. While there were occasional racism and insensitivity, nothing came close to the physical violence and torture in this video. Also my teachers took bullying reports very seriously and wouldn't brush them off as "just kids being kids". Human beings can tame wild animals like tigers and lions, but teachers and parents can't tame some rude kids? I call that BS!
This level of bullying in Korea is shockingly brutal and criminal. I don't care if it's a part of the "culture" or not. It's wrong and it's traumatising children for the rest of their lives.
what’s with the comments saying bullying happens everywhere whenever someone tries to point out issues stated in the video. like sure bullying happens everywhere but we’re watching a bullying video that happens in Korea. what are we supposed to talk abt in the comment section? bullying in england?
In england bullying is never allowed to get this extreme, if a student was found to be repeatedly stealing from and assaulting another student they would be expelled and the police would get involved. Its ridiculous how much korean bullies are allowed to get away with
i think they're those kind of people that like to idolize korea, saying "oh it's not that bad, that happens everywhere". every country has problems, korea is not different from that
I'm in the US, but my kid was bullied so bad in middle school last year. The principal took it easy on the bullies so it went on all year until my kid became depressed and kept begging to stay home. And this was a Catholic school. So this fall we're homeschooling for the first time and my son is thrilled to stay home. He's happy now and has no school related stress. I've heard from several friends with kids still at the school that the bullies haven't changed at all so I know we made the right decision.
Wow happy to hear that as a victim myself. I'm glad you took action!
I’m happy to hear that but from a European perspective I don’t think homeschooling could be a long-term solution, considering children do also need to learn to socialize, hopefully just in a better environment to find great friends! Though I’m of course not in your situation so I hope you are all doing well, and hopefully your beautiful child can go back to (another) school one day!
I maybe patriotic but I will not defend my country on dark stuff like this. Idc if you’re a Korean who hasn’t experienced this stuff, it happens. Just like in every country. The korean society has so much to be proud of, and yet so much more to improve. Like the bullying, I myself am mixed race, and when my classmates found out about it, bullied me physically and verbally. I would come home with burns, cuts and bruises on my body from where they found it disgusting I am mixed race. I was also told “this is how it works in Korea” despite being born and raised here. Similarly foreigners who come to live in Korea, or even just for a holiday, 8/10 experience racism or Xenophobia. And it doesn’t matter how many times you say “if you don’t like it go back to your country”, it proves you’re apart of the problem, and that the problem exists. It was even worse for one of my siblings who is autistic and trans, she experienced enough prejudice that I had to stop her from killing herself more than enough times. I saw her smile, like so many others, disappear. My country is awesome, has such rich history, such good food, and is a good country, but the fact so many cannot see, are unwilling to admit or even own up to its faults, proves we have so much more to improve on. I hope this boy is doing okay, I also hope that so many people experience the can feel okay in their own time.
I wholeheartedly agree with you. I’m also Korean, and I love my country with my whole heart, but we should never turn a blind eye to things like this. I’m so proud of Korea and to be Korean, but it’s important to call out all the bad things and people in our society. For me, being patriotic means to acknowledge the problems in our society and actively work to fix them so that no more people have to be harmed, and Korea can develop into an even more beautiful and accepting country. I’m so sorry that you and your sister had to go through such horrible events and had such a hard time. That is horrible and no human being should ever have to go through such things.
@@sugasstd2241 exactly my point thank you!. We cannot neglect its faults but we also cannot just show the good!
Another issue is that some or most Koreans are so prideful, and most of them honored their narcissistic attitudes, which can exacerbate societal problems. As a result, most people there avoided certain arguments that can heated the discussion because they refused to accept failure. They have an unhealthy desire to be perfect. I also despise the idolatry that thrives there. It's the same situation as in Japan. It also contributes to societal toxicity.
“If you don’t like it here then leave” and then the government wonder why their population decrease in such an alarming rate. Even some koreans don’t like to live there.. don’t get me started on workplace bullying. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@corgisareqts3866 Koreans do get offended when their race/ethnicity are met with "If you don't like it then go back to Korea" abroad from r@cist jerks. Even Koreans citizens living in Korea, get offended for Koreans living abroad. So. Why do they do the same cr@p to mixed race and foreigners in Korea?
To me, it feels like they only care about r@cism & xenophobia when they are at the receiving end. And when they're being r@cist or xenophobic to others, apparently it's because "We're homogeneous. We don't know its bad. It's the way it is in my country."
Koreaboos also entertain this behavior by going above and beyond to defend r@cist and xenophobic Koreans.
It’s the worst experience when bullying is being prop up by the person who’s supposed to help you and correct the perpetrators. Especially when it happened inside the classroom, all students would think that bullying is right as the person in authority is also taking part of the action instead of educating them. I almost committed suicide but I single person who’d always tapped my back and smile after school made me realized that not everyone is evil. I use the experience to excel academically and eventually gained more friends. To all, if you see someone being bullied do what’s right, or encourage them the simplest way you can. You’ll save their day or maybe their life.
I'm glad you didn't commit suicide. I love you even though I don't know you personally. I truly wish you the best
My teacher not only participated in the bullying, they also initiated it when they got bored teaching.
I can’t believe bullying like this actually exists in some places. I always thought it was exaggerated on tv but it’s clearly not. I live in New Zealand and the only bullying I ever see is like talking behind people’s backs and excluding them, no one ever does something so straight on. When I saw people do that stuff on tv I thought “that can’t be real, no one would get away with something like that” but I was wrong. Literally stealing from people and beating them up, I can’t believe people get away with that. I would go straight to the police if I saw that. My dad always taught me as a kid that if I ever got bullied I should punch them in the face, I think lots of other kids got taught similar things. I can’t believe people would let bullying like that happen anywhere, that is a failure by all parties. The students, the teachers, the school, the education board, the police, the parents, they all failed by letting something like that happen.
it's amazing that that doesn't happen in new zealand thanks for sharing such info🙏🏻
also on your last statement about how the society all have failed because they let bullying happen and not actually do something to change it, i totally agree and they need the rehabilitation the most because they see the fire and just let it be instead of doing the actual normal thing which is to cool it off, hopefully things are changing
nonetheless, wish you the best🙏🏻😊
I'm from Denmark and had the same thoughts when I initially got into Korean movies/TV shows. Have you watched D.P.? I also thought "no way" but after countless of countless of examples, I am actually starting to believe that this is might not be unrealistic in South Korea. If so it's really bad.
Ayyyy, My friend grew up in New Zealand and she was NEVER bullied. Only teased a little bit, but that’s it. She said the school she went to was very relaxed and chilled out lol.
I'm from the UK and its the same here. "Bullying" here mainly consists of friendship drama, people talking behind eachother's backs or ignoring eachother. Occasionally the boys fight, but they always get in huge trouble for that and besides its always a mutual fight, not one big kid picking on a smaller one. If someone did something like repeatedly steal from another student and assault them, they would get expelled and the police would get involved
I'm from New Zealand and I'm a Chinese immigrant who came to NZ during primary school. I was bullied but it was always emotional bullying, like they would damage school property and tell the teacher I did it, but because I couldn't speak English I couldn't defend myself and say otherwise, so I got in trouble. Also the ignoring and whispering behind your back thing. Never have I seen anyone get physically bullied. That would definitely land you in big trouble with the teachers and your parents.
I am living and working in the Middle East and I can assure you, racism and bullying is not reserved to Korea. As a black African woman with a mediocre job as a maid you get treated like dirt irrespective of how smart you are and the identification you get states the job you do, the uniform you get states you are a maid and you are treated as such..
yes but korean bullying is the worse in the WORLD. Its taken to such extremes that "less bullying" is burning someone or cutting them. bullying happens everywhere but i was bullyed verbally. I was never attacked
@a b just because you weren’t bullied or noticed it happening, does not mean it didn’t happen. You’re but one student in one school. How many students are there in SoKor? How many schools are in SoKor? Just recently, when KGR’s bullying came out, another case where the bully also received a level 5 punishment came to light. The victim was repeatedly sexually assualted, they died in the hospital.
Many other bullying incidents like the guy in the video are swept under the rugs to maintain your country’s beloved image. Why do you think extreme bullying portrayals in your dramas are so normalized? Because it reflects the reality that so many students face. If not, people would have talked about how unrealistic it was or may even call for authorities such as Ministry of Education to release a statement that it doesn’t reflect reality but no word at all.

I hope they find pretty Korean girls to marry and settle down.
Kids are kids and they will always tease each others. Adults just need to supervise to make sure their teasing wont turn into bullying. Plus kids learn how to self control as they grow up with proper disciplining from parents and other adults. In Philippines kids tease other kids for just being a bit darker/paler/taller/shorter/uglier/prettier or for being down right average.
@@paulvincentdomingo1755 only adults who don’t raise kids correctly say “kids are kids” me and my siblings never bullied anyone because we were taught to respect others from a young age. Clearly you weren’t.

What a wonderful mother she is!! Such wonderful young adults her children became! I would love more videos following their successes and hardships! Bullies lose when we speak out against them!
It's so heartbreaking to know that the teacher even said that to him...teachers are supposed to protect our children and keep them safe once they're on school campus.
The fact that even in this program they said "oh no, you was bullied, that's sad" and that's it.
@m k
Right.
The hosts of the show could not even proclaim publicly that bullying is detrimental "speaks volume".
What a wonderful mother and great upbringing
I was bullied too in class while the teacher was there and i called out to her all she did was look me dead in the eyes and continue poking her phone. I feel his pain.
Has the system changed in Korea or is it still the same? Bullying at such a young age is pretty scary and adults allowing it is even scarier.
Hasn't changed muched. Takes time
The same
It hasn't really changed
They only recently stopped letting teachers beat kids, 2011. They just outlawed parents from doing so in the last year or two. If you watch Korean dramas more realistically read English language Korean news you will know employers beat and threaten their underlings. Insist them drink themselves into a state. It is not a work friendly place at all. There was something in the news about the 10 year old granddaughter of a newspaper family conglomerate caught on audio threatening the driver to have him fired for asking her to sit down in the car with a seatbelt on. Oddly enough you will also see character’s rush to the first aid kit or pharmacy for a skinned knee or paper cut and a rush to hospital at the first sign of fever for a shot. But people will hide cancer treatment and down pills secretly. Quirky place. Beat kids with a stick is okay a skinned knee needs ointment and a bandage immediately or will scar and alter life forever. Teachers are rightly afraid of the parents of some students. Their brother may lose their job or their father. There are limited private school options unless the student was abroad a long time or has a foreign parent they can got to international schools for big bucks. They reason the kids don’t have the language and either had that curriculum or similar or will finish with that curriculum or similar so they are allowed the 20K plus tuition. Ironic isn’t it. Korean parents didn’t want the afghan refugee children to attend regular school. They started late in the year and are ‘segregated’ getting culture classes. I sure hope they read up on US and Canadian culture experiments of Indigenous kids so they don’t repeat. The parents worked for Korean companies in Afghanistan. They know something already.. They can hire a translator, perhaps some of these parents were the translators there? It is xenophobic. Just confused cause no white people involved. It will take 20-30 years to sort out. A bully will invent another reason. All reasons for bullying are invented anyway.

These siblings are extremely gorgeous. He looks like a model or actor, 100%. Lovely voice and fashion sense. He dresses really well
Sad how even the MC brushed the bullying part off like it's nothing - "good thing you got into sport" not, "holy shit these bullying needs to stop". Primary school and highschool made up probably half of his life (at the moment he's probs under 30?) and probably scarred him for life. Brushing it off like it was only a 5min of discomfort is so shallow and clearly shows they didn't really care and probs, agreed with the bullying to some extent.
Bullying is such a huge issue in korea.... i feel bad for him. I got bullied so I know how it feels but I live in Canada.
I was so surprised to see a Guyanese-born woman on this as a Guyanese myself! It’s nice to this woman building a family and speaking the language all the while supporting her children and her family. It’s very nice to see and I wish the absolute best for this family despite all of the struggles they had overcome and gone through in the past. Much love and support to this family! 🇬🇾❤️
I hate bullies because they mostly target people that seem "weak" , they pick on quiet, shy people
bullies are heartless people😔
imagine being a teacher and saying something like that. i myself am in pedagogy college and i would NEVER ever just get used to my students going through such things.
im also in the education field in my country, that's truly horrible
I'm Polynesian and seeing, hearing abt bullying in Korea in the movies nd drama nd even in reality shows, I wish Korean bullies would come to visit my country cause if you bully the weak and a person who's too kind to do anything abt them being bullied, everyone around the victim will stand up for them nd make sure bullies learn their lesson. In my country, teachers will be the first to deal with the bullies.
Wat leuk om een Guyanees/Surinamer te zien in Koreaanse programmas 🇸🇷♥️

This family is freaking awesome!! Props to this lady, she’s an amazing mother!!!
If you're raising mixed kids in Korea, you should sign them up for self defense classes, boxing, karate, taekwondo or anything that gives them an upper hand in a fight. Bullies only stop when you instil discipline in them physically
I was bullied by my own friends, they joined the bullies then the teachers , i feared so much I use to make excuses , getting hurt , bleeding and by initiating vomiting the breakfast to avoid going school , but it continued even when I transfered school .
I hate my time in those schools, you can say nothing no one cares everyone bullies you as no one will testify that you are getting bullied.
I had the same experience... while being bullied by others wasn't that bad for me (because I had my ways of dealing with it) the thing which messed me up was that my friends joined the bullying.
@@CreazyPeazy you are strong person to come so far with all that you shouldn't have suffered

So sad, but such a good looking boy & loving family! He will be have great success that’s how you beat the broken & jealous. Much love❤️
I always thought how severe it is in South Korea. From dramas and webtoons, to people telling real life stories you could see how it works in them.
8/10 manhwas and kdramas that I've encounter includes bullying. And like it feels so real since the stories and how it works align. But mostly is because of your physical appearance.
She has a beautiful family
They grew up to be good looking kids… God bless them
Most of my teachers will said that put yourself in other people's misery, how you felt about that. They will insisted no matter what race you are, we are still human. His teacher statements made me shocked 😱
In many media coming out from Korea, (movies, shows, webtoons) there's quite a lot of stories that involve a bullying as a plot point, and they are detailed and brutal. It's because it's so prevalent in the culture, and potentially in lives of the creator themselves.
Here, everyone walks barefoot, so in dramas I never thought much of it at first, but it would still be a horrible thing to experience if it was because of someone else. Bullying is ridiculous, and the teachers reactions make me very angry
My parents are from Suriname but my greatgrandfather from my dad’s side came from Guyana. My moms uncle fought in the Korean war, and left a daughter behind. My moms brother did a study exchange in South Korea. I married a Korean. It is nice to know there are more people from that side of the world in South Korea. And she is so cool🤓
In another comment you claimed you were blasian lmao
@@Joseph-zd7kg I am. Suriname has a population that is very diverse. Chinese, African, Indonesian, Indian, obviously Native tribes
and since the ninetees Korean🤓.
Many people in Suriname are either Blasian or Asian. Just like some people from Brasil can have a Japanese mother and father and still have been there for generations.
Guyana population is diverse so I don't think you are lying at all about you being blasian also my parents are from Guyana. I am from America so make me African American or West indian idk - yeah
@@Joseph-zd7kg not you tryna tear down the kingdom of blasia
Hello, from Suriname! 👋🏻😁
Korean genes seem to be so strong. no matte if one parent is african, european, other asian, or anything else the korean features always seem to be the strongest and show the most.
That’s not completely true. It depends on the genes. I’ve seen half Koreans who look more White, black or other Asian.
@@maya_jones3411 we arent talking about colouring we are talking about FEATURES....
와 오랫만에 진짜 멋있는 사람 봣다, 정말 대단하고 한수 배우고 갑니다.
Bullying seems to be a huge problem in East Asia, particularly, China, Korea and Japan. And I believe it's due to the type of social norms,and their society, that is to blame, not their ethnicity. As most indigenous culture worldwide, it's a community based culture, and society, so group mentality is hug. ANd the well being of the groups triumphs that of the individual person. This can be very damaging and toxic, especially in regards to having to fit in, not dare to be themselves, and of course anything that shows you're different, it means you're going to be bullied, unless you do your bst to conform to peer pressure. S.Korea in general has a lot of social issues, like suicide due to bullying, as well as domestic violence, and hate crimes towards people that doesn't fit the generic conservative Korean norm. Plastic surgery especially! Looks, status, and money before anything. Mental health, equality and human rights isn't exactly celebrated.
@ Gille87
Where are your facts confirming bullying is a problem in China ?
For your lack of information:
-Mainland China is not as homogeneous as Korea or Japan.
-For a population of 1.45 Billion to even function at all, the welfare of the community SHOULD
supercede that of the individual.
-Even if you have been to China + "witnessed bullying", you should not generalize your isolated
experience, to the whole country.
Confine your comments to Korea; you seem to know very little about China.
80% of plastic surgeries done in Korea is done to foreigners. Especially Chinese and Japanese
So nobody gonna talk about how handsome he is ?
The part where he fought his bully and became best friends sounds like a drama 😅
jeezus... lol.. God definitely took extra time on this dude. Hey, life sucked at one point, but look at you now... he's going straight to the TOP
The mother is such an angel
I just finished watching "The King of Pigs" and am so sad to hear bullying is still such a big problem. Still, I admire South Korea for talking openly about problems in society and not hiding it away in order to "save face" as in some other countries (which really makes them lose face instead). And wow some great masterpiece movies and TV series they have made out of it. D.P., The King of Pigs, Extracurricular, Shark: The Beginning, Itaewon Class, Squid Game, Parasite, Law School.... Wow what an era for Korean development! Respect for that
There’s also the fact that givin South Korea’s populartity at the moment. It would be harder to hide their social issues. I suggest that you search soft power and how it relates to South Korea. that should explain why South Korea is the way it is.
Nah, as someone in Korea, they still try to hide it all under the rug and act like it's not a problem. Just like that teacher, "that's just the way it is". These TV shows and movies are people who are sick of it. Korea has deep issues just like any country, they're not doing any better or worse I'd say. Racism, misogyny, Xenophobia, bullying, still very prevalent. It's just getting harder for them to keep making excuses because they've become popular and are thrown very prominently on the global stage. Korea likes to say it's very "Globally minded" but then turns around makes excuses for blatantly racist/Xenophobic things that make the news. "Please understand our unique situation" "we're still learning". ...how many times do you have to be told racism is wrong? Xenophobia is not okay? Xenophobia towards children is not okay? Covid has very much made many of these problems worse.
I understand bullying exists everywhere in the world, but sometimes I feel like the bullying in Korea is just... something else.
Bruh it's something on its own it's worse than American
It happens everywhere, but problem in Korea is that bullies rarely face repercussions. At all levels, throughout every age group. People who address or try to stop bullying, however, are often seen as trouble makers.
I Love this Show. The Host are very empathic. To All people involved Thank you very much. I get inspired and hope watching your show.. ❤❤❤
Bro mad respect for you!
Such handsome boys.
Reading the stories in the comment section .I'm shocked that the bullying we see in kdramas and read about in manahwa is actually real .Despite all the things I like about Koreans ,this is beyond disgusting . Hope this tvshow helps spread awareness about bullying ...
It's a shame that kids get bullied. Because these sons are absolutely beautiful.
Just GORGEOUS
Wow the son is so handsome. He can be a model. Beautiful features. I'm glad he overpowered the bullies. 😡😅
Maybe there's jealousy. He's so handsome! I'm half Scottish, half south American and lived in different countries. Racisim exists everywhere. I also lived in Japan. Had a brilliant time but I could see racisim there. Particularly to their neighbours, the Koreans!!!
Yes Koreans cant even rent an apartment in Japan
@@slee2695 It used to be like that way back then, but not anymore
That’s is true but Guyanese are South American. We’re Caribbean so West Indies
I'm half guyanese. Born and lived there. Family in Trinidad. I'd say culturaly and linguistically Guyana is more Caribbean.
He is very handsome
I want to congratulate this woman .she made a wonderful family..Bravo to the whole family ❤️💓💓..Why in korea has so much bullying in schools .The teachers should be ashamed for what they told her. That she was a foreigner .
That bully must be having a breakdwn .. Turning into a friend and realising how great this boy is
Those bullies were jealous of these handsome brothers. Even the teacher was jealous 😱😱😱.
I don't think bullying in korea gets talked about as much in a more serious manner. The shows make it seem like it was just a childish prank. But in a lot of cases, nobody really cares about the one getting bullied. It is not a prank if the person feels like shit and don't wanna go to school.
I absolutely adore his mother
He is very handsome.🌸💝💐
I do hope that's not how it really is in Korea.
I have seen many Korean dramas with intense bullying.
Intense bullying in schools in South Korea is REAL!!!
It is worse the bulliyng is so bad that south korea has the highest fate of suicide caused by school bullying
That’s how it is
Rate*
It’s pathetic that adults are raising their children to think it’s ok to treat people this way generation after generation.
Wow Guyanese and Koreans make beautiful children
You've only seen 1 example, if you coun't the others, 3 , don't generalize
That guy is sweet and good Person
He makes a good case for training your children to being able to defend themselves when they have to.
What a great guy he is.. this mom great good job in upbringing.. SK need to fix thier system tbh
They are very good looking.
Amazing how many trophies 🏆 they have!!!
Wow they’re so good looking the whole family!
Wow as an ethnic person in USA, I never got bullied. This was from the late 60”s to 1980. If there were bullying you could approach the teacher, principal or Vice principal. Even when I went to school in another city. I didn’t get bullied. New kids were mostly met with friendliness.
The incident with the shoes. Let me explain. Korean kids, before entering their classroom, need to take off their shoes, put them on the shoe rack that is in the corridor, and change into indoor classroom footwear ( only worn in school . Not outside ) So the kids stole / hid or threw away his shoe that was on the shoe rack.
I hope he feels great about himself now, with that face of his he could reach far places. Those teachers are just absolutely disgusting.
It's same in Japan too
I'm really scared to send my boy school here as he is half
he is only 2months rn
Hope it will change when it's time to school him 😭
Her kids are friggen gorgeous!
Is he a model? He should be!
Lol, Just because he looks good doesn’t mean he should model. Maybe he doesn’t want to.
@@maya_jones3411 Lol chill hahahah it was a compliment bro. It's another way of saying he's model-material bc he's THAT good-looking. Is the internet this sensitive these days? 🤣
@@almas7234 omg y’all are so quick to say the internet is sensitive…😂😂😂 it’s just a sharing of opinions. How can you tell the commentor above was even offended by what you said. Get off the bandwagon
@@jasonstone2870 LOOOL it was a compliment and she tried to twist it into me saying he MUST model. Excuse me what lolol
As someone who immigrated to the US from Poland I can totally relate the white kids didn't like me I got beat up and picked on everyday however my Mexican Puerto Rican and black friends never once picked on me, but in America my dad did things differently he sent my sister to whoop everybody. Nobody knew I had a sister until one day they did. I had one good teacher and she warned my parents that the principal and the eighth grade teacher we're plotting to fail me. Imagine that. so I can relate to this story so much
You are also white
@@kazbrekker6579 Polish people experience a lot of xenophobia from other "white" people.
@@kazbrekker6579 Well people get bullied for all sorts of reasons. In this case it wasn't skincolor.
@@rjb9239 especially in the UK, discrimination against polish people is really bad
i dont believe this at all. I dont think you were being bullied cause you were a white boy from poland. I think you were being bullied cause you were a fucking weirdo from poland.
First time I see Caribbean people on these types of Korean shows. YESSSS😍
Okay but can we talk about how fabulous the mom is lmao
so much I saw a video of an African American young lady talking about how she was reaching there and even the kids put their hands on her.. and nothing was done of it
Amazing. Never thought in a million years someone from Guyana/Suriname would live in Korea. I'm from Suriname, living in Europe now for about 40 yrs. Greetings .....🇸🇷🇸🇷🇸🇷
All siblings look stunning af!!!
I am a public school teacher but in my class, I don't tolerate bullying. I usually call the attention of the student's parents of the bullies. Luckily, bullying stops. If the teacher and the school administrators are very serious about implementing such an Anti-bullying act or policy on the campus, this scenario will never gonna happen. There must be an orientation, for both parents and learners, prior to the formal class beginning about this act.
진짜 조오오올라 잘생겼다ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Rafina is amazing!!!
Oh no!! I am having a black and Korean daughter and I wanted to spend time in Korea with her so she can see the culture but now I will probably not. I’d prefer if she didn’t experience bullying to this extent/magnitude especially from teachers because I would be in jail
A cute family, I can only imagine how hard it must have been
