One thing that always fascinates me is that almost all the foreigners that I see interviewed on similar channels seem to return to visit. Even the ones who criticize Korea seem to return.
@@davidpark2509 Much of the vitriol against Korea online comes from people who have never been to Korea, know almost nothing about the Korean culture, have a narrow minded ignorant view of Korea, and just want a punching bag for their hate.
This youtuber mainly films in the metropolitan area, where only a small number of foreigners work as language instructors, models, or in office jobs or just international students. However, there are far more foreign workers in the provinces. Manufacturing and shipbuilding industries in regional areas require a lot of labor.
Obviously that is not the aim of his channel and audience. If you are a foreign shipbuilder, you are probably contracted out in your own nation. The foreign people that watch this channel are on the younger side looking to move into Seoul looking for work.
@@jimhim585 I am Korean and the vast majority of foreigners living in the country are Asian immigrants from countries such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand. The foreigners from the nationalities mentioned in the video don't even make it into the TOP 10 in terms of population size, and they are a minority. I’m not sure if communication issues due to language barriers made it difficult to interview others, but I don’t think the foreigners shown in the video are representative of the foreign population living in Korea.
Most foriegners in Korea are English teachers except for migrant factory and farm workers. Only a few are in other fields. English teacher is the easiest way to come to Korea. But nowadays the pay is pretty bad. China is where the money is.
@@TcGroenestege yes. You are right. Pay in Japan is even worse. You pay your own rent and flight sometimes. Pay in Japan to compensate for thesethings should be 350,000 Yen at least. Pay in China is the best without requiring advanced degrees. Otherwise, Middle East and other places would be the place to be for money. But I would advise any South African moving to China to keep their bank open in SA and switch to internet banking on computer. Use family members address. Then wire money home rach month. Lots of savings in China. Go home in the future with all those savings and start a business. The electricity problems there seem to be fixed. Korea and Japan you will save very little.
For those who think that fluency in Korean will land you a good job in Korea, that's like saying if I speak English, I can get a job in an English-speaking country like the U.S., Canada, Australia or the U.K. You'll also be competing against natives struggling to find decent jobs.
Doing entertainment job for a legit living is hard in any country tbh.. As a native korean most of foreign demographics in Seoul are english teacher and soldier group since we have pretty complicated Visa policy
Why is the Turkish girl speak English with Korean accent. Did she learn English in Korea. Did she become too Koreanized. It’s also interesting that most interviewees only look at the camera and not the interviewer.
Turkish girl is telling about finding just mini jobs " albamon" but I know that they don't offer visa, so I wonder how she handled it... Maybe she leaves and come back Korea every 3 month to extend her tourist visa like some people do..but that is illegal you won't be allowed to work
Bro where are you from? I cant put my finger on your accent, so curious! Lovely video, great hearing about people who are doing other roles other than teaching
Dang I work in I.T., let me hurry up and get this degree finished so I can get my life, like these people have. I.T. is the best, you can work anywhere.
But what kind of visa did the 1st girl get..? I’m sure it’s not E7 visa. I’m just curious because it’s so difficult to get a work visa if u just wanna work in a restaurant. I had to come back to my home country after studying abroad in Korea because there was no option to stay there..
@@AlmerTV-1 Does it allow you to work in the food & beverage industry..?🤔 I thought it’s for modeling and those kind of jobs. I mean it seems she’s currently on that visa since she mentioned TikTok but I’m wondering how she managed to work in a restaurant when she first moved to Korea.
Imagine that we live in a time where making TikTok live is refered to as a "job". Today I will make a live video of myself looking into the camera doing nothing... Content creator is basically the new term for jobless.
Basically.... Anyone that says they are an influencer, doing content creation , or something along those lines, I wouldn't expect them to have anything going for them long term unless they just do it on the side.
I want to get into the entertainment industry (Acting, VA, Music, Advertising/Marketing), but why is is hard to get an answer on how to find a good agency to work? Like how do you find a good company that'll sponsor you and let you work?
Many talented, and good looking Korean youngsters end up in failure too. As far as I know, some cute girls get picked up by entertainment staffs. I am 100 % sure, some athletes wannabes might end up in failure of big fortune. It is a high risk and high return industry. Some succed while others live ordinary lives or misery
Picked up by staffs on the street. It is maybe luck, but you should be catering to consumers too. I am talking about one of ILIT members. And Lisa became the hugest celeb in Blank Pink(I never expected cause I wasn't a fan of her) MINNI in Idle is famous, and she is from Thailand.(I heard her family was super rich, which means she doesn't have to work that much)
It's all by chance of luck. I once did modeling in Korea just because I knew a girl from the club who had a network of photographers - she lined up the first job lol.

Honestly fr
well, maybe it's just a good place to visit. There may be issues, but the good parts outweigh the cons

true

Nowadays, people from developed countries are starting to work in labor jobs.

true. but almost none of them are english speaker cause....you know why
Loving that brown jacket with tie combo.
the turkey girl looks so much like Korean, the style, face, talk, everything. maybe that's why she came, she so fit in here.
she might be half korean
@@agaur4unah that’s a bit too much she doesn’t look asian
korean women are fine turkish women are finer
More like - she's styled herself similar to Koreans.. the fashion, the hair style, the makeup.

@@TcGroenestege I heard Japanese have basically given up on English (those who don't speak it).
This one was very insightful!
I love seeing this BLACK EXCELLENCE. Go ahead yall! Getting your lives!
7:11 the guy is sooo handsome! Totally my type ♡
you should have shout out the content creator you talked to !!

Interesting that the majority are models and actors. Where are all these films that they act on lol
😂
Karaoke bars!😂
PHUB or Karaoke bars where they sell content lol
It's basically background acting or a line or two All of those films are korean films
😂😂😂... Excellent question!!
I agree there seems to be many model & actors 🤔

There's a lot of foreigners. It must be a nice place to live.
It's not. Most racist among East Asian countries.
Yes no racism 😂
@@AmericanKpopBaby Litteraly like everywhere else in the world...
Omg omg is that Peris !!! 🤩
8:42 Hey that’s Showma from Sri Lanka, you interviewed her last year. She speaks amazing Korean!
Why is the Turkish girl speak English with Korean accent. Did she learn English in Korea. Did she become too Koreanized.
It’s also interesting that most interviewees only look at the camera and not the interviewer.
it's turkish accent. i would easily recognize that she is turkish even she didnt mention it as a turk.
This guy has great voice and professional attitude.
6:30-6:40 no sound
I thought my laptop was going crazy!!
That Sri Lankan woman did something to my heart.

is it that hard to get a visa? is it because of korea or the other foreign countries?
다들 너무 멋지네요
7:11 *brotha staring into my soul, who he trynna rizz up??*
LMAO 😂
First girl stunning
Bro where are you from? I cant put my finger on your accent, so curious!
Lovely video, great hearing about people who are doing other roles other than teaching
This was my question forever too!!! lol But I think it was mentioned in another video (Talk to me in Korean interview) that he was Nigerian
@@ThrivingAnywayTV ohhhhh thanks so much!
How long does a foreigner, adapt to Korean laws and/or regulations?
Dang I work in I.T., let me hurry up and get this degree finished so I can get my life, like these people have. I.T. is the best, you can work anywhere.
Does the first girl speak Korean?

Yup i'm curious ...i want too
I mean apart from working holiday visa..
@@MissCoco2109 😢
It's the E-6 visa the entertainment visa
@@AlmerTV-1 Does it allow you to work in the food & beverage industry..?🤔 I thought it’s for modeling and those kind of jobs. I mean it seems she’s currently on that visa since she mentioned TikTok but I’m wondering how she managed to work in a restaurant when she first moved to Korea.
I wish Korea allow au pair jobs to foreigners. Korea don’t have many babies but they still need some people to care them
Microphone being bit iffy time to time?
I would love to live in Korea, but I think working in Korea will be hard as I have Dyslexia and learning a language is Almost impossible for me
12:55 ahh I know her, long time no see,
The turkish lady, I think she is becoming a Korean lady speaking English with Korean accent.
I find it very rude that the first girl doesn't even look at him when talking
What kind of visa do these people need to work in Korea? Also, how long can they stay in Korea with that visa?
that interests me too.
For those who "work" by doing tiktok live and content creation, what visa do they have..?
if you get a normal job there would you be given a visa? or is it hard to get one?
6:31 REDACTED 😭
The first lady accent sounds Korean
i think it’s russian but more of a developed english compared to other russians
@maida5939she said she is turkish

So like 10% have a real job…

You can Google it.
Just be careful. You need to know how to navigate contracts and know that a lot of these places will scam you and not pay you.
0:00 The girl from Turkey is absolutely gorgeous. I would so spoil her.
In Korea its much easier for foreigners to find work than Koreans.
But foreigners can’t get high class work in Korea such as financial district engineering etc
The first girl was beautiful the turkish woman i think you should do more videos of her..
That first girl from Turkyye looks more like a Korean than a Turk. She's very pretty.
Only Women in tech can just get a job in tech without having a degree or any experience in tech 😮
When a black women says I am from london , shows the hints of detoriation of Anglo Saxon land.
the turkey girl is fire she should go work at a room salon i go give her all my money
euw. why u being weird
eww and then proceed to be taken to jail
@@lilmamagcthey are legal in korea
