Earning a masters degree, moving to a foreign country, learning a foreign language, also learning a foreign tradition...Talk about being dang smart and independent woman!! 👠
Many people do it
@@mohannarayan4603 I know?
Too bad they will discriminate against her because of something stupid like her race and weight
@@mohannarayan4603 yup and we will all clap and congratulate them on these amazing achievements! To do so much is always worth celebrating!
@@mohannarayan4603 Yes. So, what???
The Korean singing Italian opera; black French woman singing Korean pansori ~ U GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!
That's the best thing I've seen.
@@guens01 uP
The thing is, there are several high calibre Korean opera singers singing in Italian and German, but I doubt they are as immersed in the culture as she is. Laure is quite amazing!
You could just say French Woman. We would know what you're talking about. Or her name would have been serviceable considering the entire video is about her.
Yes I love it so much
Wow she is fluent in French English and Korean?!
Yep. Many Africans and Europeans (seems she's French-Cameroonian) speak English. Many speak 2+ so not surprised she's good at Korean too, esp after living in Korea a yr
the average language count in France is 3 since you learn english plus a second language in school.
She's still an amazing person tho
@@esther6664 yeah you learn 2 foreign languages at school in France but most people are really bad at it the average French person doesn’t even master English ..
And she's black too! Lols most African descendants can speak from 5 to infinity of languages. And now you know
@@sarahwashington00 lol, In Romania u learn 4 languages in school😀
She looks so pretty wearing a hanbok.
Agree
Even numbers
Black people in hanbok...absolutely gorgeous
Yes!!! It suits her very well!!
My question : if Koreans wear like black it's cultural appropriation. Why tf it's suddenly not ok? Some people said to me that some black people are ok and some don't. I don't think all Koreans are ok with it?? Just asking, is cultural appropriation even legit if the person that wear them knows the history?
Love seeing her korean friends showing support and making her feel welcome in a new country. I hope one day all people from different races will feel welcome in any country.
@Big Black dick not everyone is welcome in different countries, you should know that
@@jazzy4397 they're trolling. Look at the username
@@asideofaioli4630 lol
If it's in moderation no one would care.
Yeah for the camera's
"She's frying bananas!" 🤣🤣🤣 it's called plantains
Aye Plantains 😍
Yeah 😂
we call em bakbananen or bakabana here in the netherlands
From where I’m living in Asia, we call it bananas. Saying plantain will make people wonder what it is 😅
@@cvbuy108 but plantains and bananas are different fruits, it’s like potatoes and sweet potatoes, or lemons and limes.
That's the healthiest video I've saw in a while!
Usually i only see videos about black people being discriminated against in asian countries so seeing this was just so refreshing. No mocking commentary about her skin color, nobody being rude to her, just a beautiful girl having a good time
@@herzen9857 yessss
Me too..agreed. Very positive and uplifting.
@@herzen9857 as European living in Poland.. the racism here is unbelievable even though I travelled Asian countries and America. Much serious and worse than anywhere.
Most do not know what is racism but ignore it. Seen none Polish kids bullied and have thoughts of they are not acceptable in schools are what people thinks. Therefore, leads to dangerous ends and more yea.
Unlike Korea or America, racism are reported less and tend to not care. My foreigner friends want to leave the country due to heavy spits, shaming and physically hurt by people. You can witness it in streets and wherever you go in areas of mostly foreigners. My fellow people are not afraid to say racism ignorant of you. This is similar for other European countries as my friends/workers/foreign families says. Again not reported or that ignorant towards racism. Not consider an big issue. Most here are all white people none of others.. so lack of knowing and education too. Pretty ridiculous.. like what happened with German DJ with BTS, most have similar thoughts..
@@ThuyDuong-dn3tp Lol I just read ur comment. Im Dutch and really agree with you. Rarely can see people from around the world. Few cares about race or racism for sure + everday is challenge with racism issues, if looks different than you from different country. Hard to live as abroad people. The problem hits hard for especially Asians, next up are Black people. Alot believe they are not being racist but they are, frequent happens with racism. Tsk
I knew her Mama was African ( Cameroonian 🇨🇲)I know my people's accents 😄💞 by the way I love her voice she's really talented and intelligent 🙌🏾💓
@Dulce Sunshine yeah
I felt that too! I was like hmmm that sounds familiar
I'm camerounian !! 💜
@@Violet-fg9db aww 🥺 glad to hear that sis 😊
@@Violet-fg9db me toooo!!
Her smile. Her cheeks. Her energy. is so adorable.
Truuue I’m actually crying over how adorable she is 😭
Wow ..legit tears came to my eyes while watching this .... we hear so many stories about what it is actually like but then I see this lovely young lady with her beautiful smile and she has friends who are happy to see and support her ... I applaud this and hope she fulfils all of her dreams !!
Same!!! It’s beautifully overwhelming.
I don’t want to seem rude for saying this but I’d take this with a grain of salt because this comes a show called “My Neighbor Charles” which is kind of infamous for portraying black/brown countries and cultures in a negative light and sugarcoating the reality to prevent them from looking bad.
@@mattbundy6795 I think I agree but I really do appreciate the actual diversity shown on the channel. You’re right though about the sugarcoating and I don’t know if the cultures are always portrayed well. I feel like sometimes they act as if Korean culture is modern and superior, like when it comes to sexism (women doing everything for the man)
they act surprised when They hear about it in other cultures but I know and read multiple times that Korea is pretty conservative and does the same practices. Even when compared to other cultures where sexism is frequent (Liberian and Indian culture) Korea is similar but they act as if it’s surprising.
They also downplay other issues basically most things that are negative like racism, xenophobia, fatphobia, and sexism. However that’s probably because it’s a family show but they are important to address to some degree
"she cuts vegetables in her hands? She looks like a masterchef" oh my! I feel so honoured 😅 every African mom, West African moms at least teach their children how to cook that way😅
Sure 😊 thing
West Africa- Nigeria
At first I was wondering why she liked singing Pansori, because she seemed so shy and reserved when people asked her to sing, but at 09:40 you can see all the shyness melt away and see how much she enjoys it.
do you know which song she is singing?
"Focus... Vegetables, vegetables" ooh that one got me. Same 🤣🤣.
"its as if she is looking at her ex-boyfriend she still loves" LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
I felt her só much when she talked about how going to the market is too dangerous because you can end up taking so much more than what you came for 😂 That's why most of the times I go to the market I only take the money that's enough to buy the things I need, not more than that cause I may end up buying other delicious food and overexpending 😂
Yes! And grocery shopping when you are hungry too! That’s the worst!
what a multitalented woman!! she is truly daebak
SHE REALLY IS!!! STUNNING!
What an absolutely beautiful video! This is what happens when people respect and appreciate other cultures, without mocking and apprpriation. That dinner table scene was just so beautiful with all the different people, appreciating all different cultures, while sharing food.
Laure is brave, beautiful and talented!
Most “appropriation” isn’t even offensive to the actual culture it’s usually Americans complaining and thinking they somehow represent the culture they’re “defending”
As an asian I don't even know what cultural appropriation is growing up. We weren't really taught about it. Honestly we would even appreciate it if foreigners wear our national costumes and experience our culture as long as they don't do it to be offensive.
@@missm1776 Appropriation is not simply enjoying/participating in a culture that's not your own. Appropriation is profiting from another's culture (especially an oppressed culture) without giving them due credit and recognition. There is a power dynamic of a privileged person/culture stealing from an underprivileged person/culture. A lot of people get confused about this. The people who are singing in this video are simply wholesomely enjoying other cultures, they are not appropriating.
Right?! I loved that dinner scene .
@@niceclaup1 a non-japanese person wearing kimono is appreciation for japanese culture. kim kardashian, also not japanese, attempting to copyright the term kimono for a brand of spanx is an attempt at appropriating japanese culture. that's how i explain it
I guess it was aired before covid..miss those times..the so called "han" in pansori is difficult to portray but she is real good
How would you put ‘han’ in your own words, if you don’t mind? I’ve only heard very academic, dry summaries.
@@namedrop721 It’s a very ambiguous word and even Koreans find it hard to explain the exact meaning. For me, “han” is a painful memory and feeling. It’s a knotted emotional bitterness, regret, resentment, etc. It can be used in so many contexts. For example, if you loved someone and they suddenly moved away or got married and you didn’t tell them about your feelings, you would have that feeling of “han” knotted in the deepest part of your heart. It’s an aching feeling. Another example, if you had always wanted to become an opera singer but grew too old working at a safe but meaningless office job for 40 years, you would have “han” deep down your heart. Another example, if you had an argument with your mom and she suddenly passed away and you didn’t apologize, it will remain as “han” wrenching your heart forever. It’s not easy to get rid of it, and they say you die with it. You can remove it by fulfilling what you couldn’t in that situation, so in this case, confessing your love to that person, becoming an opera singer, and apologizing to your mom. But most of the time you can’t. The only real way to get rid of “han” is to just let go.
@@ihatewinia woah
@@ihatewinia thank you for the explanation,
@@ihatewinia Is it similar to regretting something?
There's a very nice black girl that respects the Korean culture, speaks the language fluent and people in the comments really talk about race and cultural appropiation??
I'm so done with this planet its ridiculous. Other people can't do shi. anymore without getting judged.
Cultural appropriation is the bane of spreading cultures tbh. Why can’t we learn about and experience different cultures? Imagine saying you can’t do something because you’re not that race. Talk about racist...
Who is accusing her of cultural appropriation? You're acting as if people are in the comments dog piling onto her and saying this is appropriation. As long as it's done with intent, care and in the right manner it's not appropriation. I've only seen good comments praising her intelligence, bravery and her singing.
I've seen zero call this cultural appropriation. Culture appropriation is when you disrespect or only use stereotypes of a culture especially a marginalized one
Ppl confuse ‘cultural appropriation’ with ‘cultural appreciation’ far too often.
This is appreciation ♥️♥️
Agree. Let’s make cultural appreciation the norm instead 💞
She sounds cute speaking in Korean
I am so impressed by this lady, so focused on her goals. She's amazing!
I love cultural exchange and appreciation. It expands your knowledge about the world.
This story is an inspiration to me and deep inside I can say to myself that it is not too late. I will visit Korea and Japan and learn both languages. Thank you Laure and keep smiling.
Biensur que tu peux ma belle, fonce, on a qu une vie et il n est jamais trop tard pour accomplir ses reves !
@@Mllemama1 Merci pour ces mots d'encouragements. En la voyant tout laisser pour réaliser son rêve, cela me donne des ailes. La seule difference entre elle et moi, c'est que je suis beaucoup plus agée. Mais bon!!! Je veux juste apprendre ces deux langues, pas forcément apprendre le Pansori ou autre. :-)
Moi aussi, j'adore ces 2 langues et cultures. Je rêve d'y aller mais le covid à gâcher mes projets.😔
@@emmasogan7899 C'est provisoire, une fois la crise maîtrisée, tu pourras y aller profites-en pour te préparer financièrement et linguistiquement 👍!
@@marie-laurepolydore3124 De nos jours l'âge ne veut plus rien dire, on peut tout faire, tout voir, tout apprendre tant qu'on a la motivation et la santé, alors foncez, sinon vous regretterez à tout jamais de ne pas avoir essayé !
Lmao that's a legit African, cutting veggies in her hands. I do that too. I learned it from when I was really young. But now I mainly it because I cant be bothered to get any more dishes dirty. It's efficient lol.
Now I know where Panamanian women get the cutting vegetables in the hands tradition!
i do that too but I prefer cutting onions on cutting board cuz it easier
She is not African, she is French before anything else. Referring to her as being African echoes to the racists and right extremists in France referring to ethnic minorities (born in France), as foreigners. So no, she's not "African", she's French. You can be black and be French how shocking... smh
That's just how they do it traditionally around the world it seems.
@@hyacinthec7297 lmao she's still African. Racists will always be racists whether you address them or not, whether you use politically correct terms or not. You can never change the mind of a racist. French or not, she's still African. You most definitely do not understand why I said that, so just don't say things for the sake. This is not a political comment, this is an ethnic comment. Get it right.
A pure example of cultural appreciation. I love this beautiful girl and her friends!
And acceptance. Which can be hard for black people to find in Asian countries. This was refreshing to see.
Her and her housemates seem so sweet 🥺 I wish her all the best!
She is so soulful while she sings. I am so proud of her
She made me think of a "griot" the traditional African "conteurs"!
@@davidjacobs8558 While it is true, griots are still very relevant to people's life today and a very integral part of west african cultures and musical traditions. It is an on going tradition you see at birthdays, weddings, religious holidays, the celebration of a birth or when someone passes away, etc. Hence the comparison with griots specifically and not ancient Greece...
And Jeanne Caro you made me think of an haitian dish made of pork "griot"
What a small world! We use the same word on different purpose!!😲
@@justsomegirl95 me too I was like why is he calling her food ? 😅
@@justsomegirl95 OMG! This is the very first time I hear anyone talk about the delicious Haitian "griot"! I loved it so much, and I have tried to cook it on my own but never really had a recipe that I could follow. But anyway, nothing tastes as good as when you eat it in its place of origin.
She is amazing! Her Korean pronunciations are superb and and has great emotional expressions. Pansori is a true art form.
What a wholesome video. I wish government funded schools had more cultural exchange programs where you can have a fully immersive cultural experience for at least a term. We are ALL citizens of the earth and we have so much to learn from one another. The beauty in this video - the Pansori style of storytelling, the food being shared - all wonderful things we humans are capable of. Cultural appreciation at it's finest, love it.
She's such a cute, sweet lady! I love her personality!
Also opera guy was really good!
When her friends came running to her 😭
6:35 ah, shoot not me falling in love with his voice,,,
Saaame😭👏🏽👏🏽💕
100% lol
She's living her life to the fullest. Good for her!
Pansori is extremely hard to master and for someone who's only spent so little time this is truly impessive. Elle est vraiment talentuese et intelligente evidement. BraVO!
I'm glad she has lots of good friends around her, that's the most important thing when you're far from home.
For me, it was really hard being alone in a new place.. I was always crying every single night in my room :')
I want to be friends with her!! She's from France and Cameroon like me!!!
6:30 the guy sings so well 👏👏👏
6:30 i did not expect that voice out of that man,,,that's heckin impressive
Us Africans will bring our dishes everywhere we go lol 😂
She's french
@@pioupiou1603 yes I know, but for those of us whose countries have been colonized by the French, we will still carry our African culture with us because our parents will make sure we do. Unless you're a francophone my comment won't really mean much to you.
@@ladydiamondprisca And please keep it up, it's soooo soooo good! I am French and some of my uncles and aunts are from Morocco, Martinique, Algeria (and more). Family reunions are unique when they prepare dishes typical of their origins, and it allows everyone to share something and the children to get used to other cultures ! :D
I was nervous when I sang on Chinese Television, I only had one rehearsal, but I don’t think it matter how many rehearsals you have it’s still nerve racking.
This was beautiful to see. Hope she finds much success in the future.
I guessed right: she's Cameroonian!
Her accent...Her passion!
Love for Asia, love Korea and JAPAN too!
Love from Cameroon!🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲
What an amazing way of being courageous and independent! But I would love to know how Laure supports herself monetarily till the time she gets a full time job.
She might have gotten a grant from the French government to study Pansori in Korea.
It is strange to see people comment that she is not French but Black
Mind too small? 😏
EXACTLLLY. FRENCH ISN'T EVEN A RACE.
Nationally she is french. Franks are white. She isn't French.
@@magyareuro2173 You are not French, therefore your opinion is not legit. We French are a multicultural people not a race. By the way, the most part of the French people descent from much more ethnic groups than only Franks, who do not exist anymore. Let those who are concerned (French people) tell themselves what the situation is and don't state things you don't even know. Saying that French people are only descendent of Germany Franks is kind of wrong and above all hurting. (Sorry for my English)
@@happache3967 I know the french are not only Germanic as Southern French are other Europeans. I'm European so my opinion is legit enough. Being multicultural isn't a good thing and you can't say you are when Parisians are constantly trying to manage the way everyone speaks and acts. Ethnic French are European. Not black. She's French nationality wise but that's it.
@@magyareuro2173 So what does "French" mean to you?
Why is this so sweet , her room mates r so wholesome too 😭😭😭
Those were probably plantains
Ikr! Fried bananas sounds cute, tho.
@Cocoarie mingz I've tried it on accident it's not bad😭 but like hm it might taste a little weird to some people,, but I think it will be a nice topping for food,, it made me so full 😟
@Cocoarie mingz try deep fried banana , its a real dessert in SEA
@@ShigenoiUma surprisingly, they are a thing in some south eastern countries, which people eat as a dessert and they are cute as hell :)
at 9:26 the drummer looks like hes in love with that talent
I truly admire this Sistas' tenacity, sense of adventure and her growth as a black woman and a human being..... she has not only left her Loved Ones thousands of miles away to travel to another continent and embrace the people, the country, the culture... WOW!! truly brave and wonderfully entrepreneurial - on top of that is MULTI-LINGUAL, her mother tongue, Korean, English & French - how many of us has mastered 4 languages - I wish you good fortune, wealth, health and lots more adventures in your future. A final shout out to your truly awesome friends that you have surrounding you, especially the Elder, much respect - I will endeavour to seek you all out and watch your musical performance when I arrive in South Korea, current global pandemic pending of course.... 🙂🙂🌻 take care everyone
Her mother tongue is French what are you on about. Just because she's black doesn't mean she's not French ffs
@@hyacinthec7297 It does.
@@magyareuro2173 gtfo with your racism
@@hyacinthec7297 It's not Racism. Native French are White/European. She's nationally black french.
@@hyacinthec7297 You are suggesting that everyone can be French and by extension European on a cultural and Ethnic level. Which one isn't your decision and two is a gross attempt to steal what isn't yours and degrade our identity as a people and nation which is racist. We can't be African and you guys can't be European. Nationality wise sure anyone can be anything it's a passport and a birth certificate nothing more. She is Black French. She's not French that identity belongs to the French who are white.
She looked so beautiful in her dress!! I just love her embrace of Korean culture and tradition. Although I haven’t been to France in some time, I reminisce about my time there. They have always have treated me so kind. Lots of love from Saskatchewan, as always :3 🌾🍁💖
Merci Beaucoup!/Thank You so Much!/kimistahi~nanâskomitinâwâwᑭᒥᐢᑕᐦᐃᓇᓈᐢᑯᒥᑎᓈᐚᐤ(Ycree)🇨🇦💖🇫🇷
Imagine telling us French how to identify lol. Y'all haven't got a clue about this country yet gladly spread your ignorance. France has been the crossroad of civilizations for centuries and welcomed manyyyyy people. She's as French as me and I salute her motivation and talent.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@Me ow okay dumbass, French isn't even an ethnicity to begin with as we're heavily mixed and our republic motto literally is based on the equal treatment of all its citizens.
France has the largest ZEE in the world and has a territory that's across most continents. Are my French Polynesians not French????
girl bye
@Me ow okay kiddo ;)
@Me ow you don't know France, you say bullshit, move on kiddo
@Me ow obviously french is an ethnicity but france was not built on a racial aspect like the anglo-saxons did...
*she looks beautiful wearing Hanbok*
She's so amazing! What an inspiration! I wish I could also go to Korea as a student.
I also found the man at 6:30 very good, his voice is truly amazing!
That's so cool to see so many of them going and fulfilling their dreams like that!
Yes ! My Cameroonian sister !!! Thank you for aiming high and representing excellence;)
Laure is amazing!!!! I was in tears during her performance. Sidenote: her opera singing housemates are insanely talented! And hot!
This is so cool. Talk about be a jack of all trades! This woman is fluent in French, English, and Korean and also a powerful singer?! My mind is blown. What a wonderful community coming together to show their support for her
Everyone is so kind and supportive! This is so sweet, and I hope Laure's future is bright!
I love seeing cultures blend. Such a beautiful and fun experience! This is what should be shared in USA news. What an amazingly intelligent and independent young lady! A great roll model for young girls!
You know very well white people in America are. It allowed to celebrate or talk about other cultures. If we did we would be culture appropriating according to a small percentage of people. But there’s videos of people being beat up just for having dreads. Even though dreads was 100% apart of our history as well. It also teaches children to feel MORE divided but not allowing them to explore other cultures
I love her spirit and would have loved to see her singing longer 😊 Amazing!
She's awesome! And so funny in the market trying to focus on vegetables!
This story... her story... fills me up with so much happiness! je lui souhaite beaucoup de succès!
damn, she is so admirable and aspirational! Her mom is supportive too. I'm envious. Best of luck to her.
The first time I heard pensori I cried...then I had to look it up, so emotional n beautiful
I'm so happy she is enjoying her stay and that everyone is supporting her!!
Legit I was gonna cry when the guy started to sing
She is simply amazing; there are no other words to describe her attitude and spirit and determination
She's such an inspiring student, truly, I've been putting off an annotated bibliography for days and when she was talking to her mom and her mom said 'this is the life you chose, so you should reflect and make good choices' and she responds 'it's difficult but I can overcome my hardships'.... TT___TT I'm going to get off UA-cam and start my assignment ASAP. I speak only two languages and this girl speaks 3!! She moved overseas to follow her dreams!! Seriously inspiring and she deserves everything she wants out of life. Also i felt that so hard when she was in the food market hahah.. Vegetables, vegatables... Ohh pig intestine! :D
Seeing her make me even more proud to be french Cameroonian ✨👌🏾 tout est possibles quand on le souhaite vraiment... félicitations et bonne continuation Laure ❤️❤️
Cultural appreciation my butt. This is just very respectful woman taking the time to learn about and take part in a new culture. Stop demonizing everything.
Culture can and often does have boundaries. Following the permissions of each one is the best mode for true respect to everyone's differences.
그녀는 정말 아름다워요! 나는 외국인들이 우리 문화를 받아들이는 것을 보는 것을 좋아해! 😊😊
She’s sooo good!! Lovely to listen to!
She is brave and very talented
I like this. I like the title. She's not an African French, she's French.
She's Cameroon
*Cameroonian
That was amazing!! I loved hearing about her story and she is beyond talented and I'm so inspired and impressed!!
This was so wholesome, it lifted my spirits a bit. Please keep it up!
I have been smiling during all the documentary! Thank you so much
She sounded amazing!!! Also shout out to her opera singing flatmate. He sounded great too!
Aww she looks so adorable and confident. Keep it up Laure. You were awesome 👍👌😘
This is so wholesome on all the levels! Fill my heart with love and joy
She so freeken cool! Her talent is unending. That was a pleasure to watch.
Dang baksu for her... im sooo envious of her for somone to be able to do all that...she's definitely more courageous than me lol wow good for her
Absolutely gorgeous. Her energy and attitude is infectious. I wish u all the best,ur friends too
I love it. I love how supportive everyone is.
Lovely! I hope she got a job she loves and is continuing to thrive! ❤️❤️❤️
I am so happy to see that people still care about their own culture, and I'm even more happy to see people enjoy others cultures very much too
Pansori is very beautiful
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen so far! I’m so happy for her and I wish her the best! ☺️💫💕
Awesome and inspiring! Good luck to her and all of the performers in this video!
How amazing is she ❤
그녀는 너무 예뻐❤️💞💖
뭔가 뭉클하고 따뜻하네요 영상이
This was such a wholesome video to watch after a busy day. I hope she’s achieving all the goals she’s set ☺️.
Why did I cry😂 it was so beautiful😍
Wow.....very impressed with this brave and courageous women.
Watching this is so wholesome.💗 She has such a beautiful smile I'm glad she is popular and her friends treat her well.
This was so beautiful to watch and the narrator was soooo hilarious and respectful 😂😂
I love how supportive her friends are
wow what an amazing woman!! so cool to see a french person singing a traditional genre of korean music!
I love the positivity in this video. I found myself smiling so much watching this
I enjoyed this story so much. She did a wonderful job and those guys studying opera were amazing also! Such a talented group of people 💛💛💛
