As a Korean citizen who lives in Los Angeles, the most amazing thing I see from Korea is that Korean government just tell the truth about both good and bad things. When other counties didn't want to talk about Covid-19 new cases in January and February. Korea started mass numbers of testing and revealed the numbers to the world, even though they knew it would definitely influence on their economy negatively and actually many counties closed the borders from Korea. Now, all the world praise for Korea's successful fight against Covid-19, but Korea still tell the world about the danger of re-infection.

Surely not all Koreans did agree to that and the extreme conservatives complained to the government that did not block the entry from China. There are always people who try to use the disaster for political purpose but we have got through it by the national poll yesterday.

In 2015, there was a MERS outbreak in South Korea. 39 fatalities occurred. After that its government has been preparing for and establishing a quarantine system of infectious diseases since then. The government was requiring hospitals to have two epidemiographer experts at least and certain number of negative pressure hospital rooms in order to become an official testing facility in major cities. In the privacy issue to tract and isolate an infected citizen, The government and its officials never invaded their privacy, rather, are approaching it carefully by AI platform for public interests and public safety as well. Because, South Koreans were suffering from frequent invasion of their privacy by several dictators using Korean CIA and military intel organizations for years. Now, South Korea is the one of the greatest respectful democratic free countries by people's blood and efforts, respecting and protecting citizens privacy.
Very true! Democracy for South Koreans is hard-earned value. So many people died fighting for democracy ever since independence. Literally there are hundreds of Mandela in SK.
This is true. Korea has stricter privacy laws and regulations than most other countries. This was part of the challenges (other than uncooperative people/companies) that epidemiological investigators faced during MERS outbreak, which was why Korea’s parliament amended the law to allow for some limited use of information such as credit card transaction records for the purposes of aiding the investigation efforts during an infectious disease crisis. Privacy invasion is a sensitive issue that is dealt carefully in Korea especially because of, like you mentioned, the history of oppressive regimes in the past. Because of that painful history (even if long ago) Korean people today are highly critical and do not tolerate forceful government actions that invade basic rights. Many newspapers including NYT love to spin the whole “Korea traded in privacy for freedom of movement” story not caring for any factchecking (though that particular phrase in part is true in some sense because of the amended law I mentioned) and claim that Korean government is tracking and watching every citizen’s whereabouts. (Possibly because they want to believe that Korea’s approach cannot be replicated in the US or Europe.) That is simply inaccurate and negligent journalism. I am glad that people like you are more informed about the nuanced situation.
transparency, openness, preparation for disaster, and fight for saving citizens as many as possible. this is the perspective of Korean government on citizens and also humans. i am truly proud of our president and government.
이게 나라다!! 나라다운 나라에 살게 해줘서 조상님•부모님•의료진•정부에게 감사드립니다!! This is a REAL NATION!! Thanks for our ancestors, parents, all of medical staffs, and our government because we live in a nation as nation!!

@@evonnec1711 I agree. Personally I don't like the way WHO has done. But if I had been her, I would have spoken the same answer. If she hadn't, it would have raised a political issue in Korea. I just wanted to point out how smartly she avoid making any problems.
The entire world is following South Korea's idea of setting up walk-in testing booths, and contact tracing. South Korea really has an efficient government.
Unfortunately, not the entire world. Some governments aren’t telling the truth and are more concerned about the 1% of the population instead of the whole. I’m extremely appreciative of the transparency displayed by S. Korea.
We can overcome this tragedy with solidarity and cooperation, domestically and internationally. We are one in the solid bond of humanity. Good luck to all countries! - at South Korea

You don't know what You're talking about... Right now President Moon is an indeed S. Korean traitor, supporting CCP and N. Korea. He is the one collaborated to put former president Park geun hae imprisonment. He's been working on to get reelected, allowing many Chinese into S. Korea which they're spies to Democracratic nation to all over the world to collect dollar currency. The CCP elites build Chinatown all over the world, smuggle many illegal Chinese, build a business to collect dollar currency. All Chinese are spies; chosenjok from China speaks bith languages, Chinese internatioal students, Chinese business people, fake marriage, illegals, are all for China. They're the seeds spread all over the world for China.
Here in New Zealand our scientists watched how South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore responded to corona. Their experiences have greatly informed our elimination strategy.
Vik Z but basically South Korean method is way more democratic than those of two countries and Singapore now is increasing infected cases and urge the public to wear a mask which Singaporean govt never advised in the first place.
@@limelight777 democracy wasn't uppermost in scientists' minds. How these countries went about responding to corona was. In relation to South Korea's speed of testing/tracing and case isolation processes, these have been of particular interest; mainly because we know we'll have to boost our processes as we come out of our lockdown. One of a number of steps in which we'll be able to keep the virus out of NZ (assuming we're successful in eliminating it).
Vik Z once lockdown finish NZ will go custard like Singapore. Because Kiwis do not wear masks, don't bother about social distancing, and can't help themselves social gathering, lack of IT technology, lack of testing kits etc I don't see how NZ can cope in long term. The nature/attitude of ppl in NZ are different to ppl in Korea.
@@deliciousnoodles5505 Agree the govt failed spectacularly on lack of control measures in the the migrant workers' dorms a dn see how it escalates every day. a few hundreds per day at least. Minus the migrant worker's infection numbers, our numbers should not be so high. We will squeeze into the top 10 "viral" nations soon.
Singapore - You will receive multiple text messages sent by the government on a daily basis saying all need to wear mask and keep social distancing otherwise you will be fined by the first-time offend and imprisoned after several offends with much heavier fine (foreigners' visa will be revoked and permanently barred from working in Singapore) which sound very much like threatening than advisory. It's so clear the government isn't transparent, lacks ability to track cases, and their reaction and necessary measures were taken place too late when seeing the current surging trend - and yet no one voices out how Singapore government is incompetent and segregating and marginalising work permit holders who provide labour at cheap cost at factories, construction sites etc that no Singaporean is willing to do.
"We have acted quickly and preemptively and that is not just our philosophy but is a reflection of our recent experiences. You may know that 2014 we had terrible ferry boat accident (that) we lost 304 lives in misstep of very inactive(?) response from the government at the time and that has been a collective trauma to all Korean people." 메르스 때 '살려야 한다' A4 용지를 뽑아 붙여뒀던 당시 정부를 생각하면 지금의 정부는 상상할 수 없어요. 정치는 정말 중요하고, 우리가 과거에서 배워서 다행입니다.
Collective trauma indeed!!! I have been traumatised for many years by the fact that the young victims were literally abandoned by the authority. I never forgive Park and her government as well as her ruling party at that time. Even more horrific thing was and still is the fact that not only the right wing politicians but also fascist group of people called 'ilbe' insulted the victims and their remaining families in a most evil way beyond your imagination. The current president Moon has been with the victims families all the way and now he is the target for the right wing fascist groups. They are all over the places on internet spreading fake stories that Moon is a dictator or China' puppet, etc.
@@DrWho44 You're being very blind. Indeed, President Moon is a traitor not only he collaborated to put former President Park Guen Hae and put her prisonment. Also, he is an indeed a traitor to S. Korea supporting the Communist China and N. Korea. Allowing entry of many Chinese spies in S .Korea, allowing investing RE in Jaeju and jeollado providence, allowing election vote as well.

Yeah totally think the questions were fine and good questions to ask a Korean. I would rather have a Korean answer these questions than some professor overseas with a political science degree
Jumo! Bring some Malgolri here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am proud of being a Korean to hear this kind of news outside, and I am feeling safe here. How long I've waited for this government! (We're having a general election here in Korea.)Let's vote for US! Let's go for the better. She is my Foreign Minister!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is ours!!!!!!!!!! Let's vote for our future and children!!!
I think, it's really important that who is the leader in that country /organization. South Korean president Mr Moon was a former student activist, human right lawyer also he ran the human right law office with former South Korean president Moo-hyun, Noh before entering the politics. Mr Moon has been published book and it's called - "humanity is prior to anything" which was his political slogan as well. He's not chasing any fame, wealth, power during his life even his presidency. I know many former presidents chased these. He's only concerning about their people's better life (Reducing financial burden for low class, improving system to boost national economic, creating more jobs, etc..) so he has warm heart and cold brain to run the country, especially he has been improved relationship with North Korea. So their people strongly believes this government and president as well. that' why they're handling very well about this COVID-19 disaster too.
Don't be a fool. President Moon is a traitor to S. Korean. He's supporting CCP and N. Korea. The former president was impeached, imprisonment collaborated by Moon. The Prime Minster is just doing her job... All the Chinatown is built by CCP elites who have money and smuggle, hire all illegal Chinese for investment to get foreign currency to CCP(Chinese Communist Party)... All Chinese international students chosenjok, fake marriage , etc, are all work for China... Don't be a fool by mainstream media.
@@heavenhaven7254 Please give us your solutions how to stop the CCP without any economic sufferings... Many wealthy Chinese invested money around world Also Huge Chinese traveller's bring money and keep feeding country' local business, shops. what is your solution ? how the South Korean can be reunited without talking with North Korea ? you have no solutions just like the Korean opposition party. there are always pro and cons about having a good relationship with any other countries.. Not just China.. even USA. why many Korean people support Mr Moon by recent election ?
Incredibly impressed with the response from the S. Korean government and it's citizens in regards to this virus. They know it's not just about Korea but the world at large. Other countries need to look at S. Korea as an example of how to deal with such matters. Keep fighting the good fight!!
@J U S T I C E That's the great thing about democracy, people actually have a chance to change things. I wish more people around the world could look past themselves and think about the greater good as Koreans have. Proper governments are supposed to work for the people not the other way around, I'm glad S. Koreans were able to change that.
As a Korean, I think all this can be defined in one word. democracy. People in countries affected deadly by the corona crisis need to exercise their votes more carefully. Except Japan. Because I personally cheer for Prime Minister Abe. :D
My best time working with Korean international agency ... they are all behaving similar to their foreign minister. Smart- humble- respectful- hard-workers
On dirait ça, c'est bien le niveau d'un pay. On peut bien la comparer avec l'ancienne présidente, Park qui a été destitué recemment par le peuple coréenne
Citizens liberty vs greater goods? Korea citizens had fought for their right to know to protect themselves from the fatal disease in 2015, MERS. At the time, the prime minster, Hwang said that one or two deaths were not the kind of issue to be dealt directly by PRIME MINISTER. People were angry and demanded all information open to public. The president Park was impeached 2 years later, and Korean are still, always criticizing and participating or sometimes fighting with the government for freedom and happiness. That openness is the victory of citizens and will be continuously evolving. Proud of her, more proud of citizen Korean.
They learnt from past experienced as she mentioned. So, learnt from the past and acted right in right time is the key. And citizens there learnt from past experienced as well.
Two thumbs up 👍 for the people of Korea! It is with self compliance by their folks which brought such a global exemplar case! Viva Koreans!!! Finally, the despicable Jotsun mentality is melting away from the Korean Peninsula
Most of people in my country who refuse lockdown always use south korea as example. I mean, if most of people spent their time hangout together without mask, using 30 cm as ideal range for social distancing and never wash their hand, why would they think that we will end up like south korea?
SK govt really learned from their past experiences on some contagious diseases thats why they have a prepared in any ways knowing also that this country has a lot of manufacturing facilities that helps their country to stand alone.
I am Japanese living in America. I wish Japan and the USA have a person like her in our government. Japan & the USA both are doing really bad when it comes to Covid-19. Korean citizens should be happy with their government.
"What do you think of N.Korea's missiles?" S.Koreans: Uh what? "What about this new virus from China? S.Koreans: What? China? Battle stations everyone! During Koryo dynasty -- whence the word Korea comes from -- we were at war with China almost every day. Since about 2,500 years there's been at least a dozen wars (perhaps baker's dozen). As a result we're constantly on guard of all things China. We avoided SARS unscathed. MERS caught us off guard since it seemed it didn't originate from China. We may well be the most China-proof nation on earth.
I wish you may stay safe. You would survive, taking responsibility one person at a time. You know what to do... wear a mask if you can afford, regardless of what the media and masses make of it. Stay at home as much as possible, and don't let fear engulf your rationality. In Korea there are numerous proverbs, all paraphrasing a single idea; it was proven to our nation through history, and it is proving itself now: Every night has its day, and every day has its night. America had her brightest day, then dusk, and perhaps now the night has fallen. But please persist through it, the day awaits to be seized again. I hope you would survive through this. Love, from S.K.
It doesn't matter where do you live in the world, anything can happen to threatening life over the times. Now it is up to you to choose solve the problem or blaming past or somebody. The Korean government and people chose to solve the problems and be prepared to go forward to be make better for their own people and the global community. I would like to say to the leaders of many other countries, you also have a choice to choose blaming and step down others or choose to solve the problem for your people and help each other to be live together! Look, this is 21st century and people are not that naive not to know what are you doing. Cut it out your bragging with any facts! Please be humble and sincere for your people! As a Koran Canadian, I am so proud of the current Korean government value, leadership and dedicated work for the people! As a 586 Korean generation, I am so happy the government to compete the democracy that we fought in 80's and 90's. I am teaching what is true democracy to my children in Canada. Congratulation your victory from the election and we are celebrating it in Canada too! Love Korea and Canada!
Australia and New Zealand have done very well too, but we locked down, easing up restrictions slowly now, OCEANIA we're doing an amazing job. This Anzac day stand on our driveways at dawn. Let's think also of those who have lost their live this year too.
Listen to the command of language, the logical line of thoughts, the comprehensive conclusions she is able to express. And now go to CNA and listen to a Singapore minister. I really don't want to be offensive, but I am shattered.

Now, South Korea is the one of the greatest respectful democratic free countries by people's blood and efforts, respecting and protecting citizens privacy.
Very true! Democracy for South Koreans is hard-earned value. So many people died fighting for democracy ever since independence. Literally there are hundreds of Mandela in SK.
This is true. Korea has stricter privacy laws and regulations than most other countries. This was part of the challenges (other than uncooperative people/companies) that epidemiological investigators faced during MERS outbreak, which was why Korea’s parliament amended the law to allow for some limited use of information such as credit card transaction records for the purposes of aiding the investigation efforts during an infectious disease crisis. Privacy invasion is a sensitive issue that is dealt carefully in Korea especially because of, like you mentioned, the history of oppressive regimes in the past. Because of that painful history (even if long ago) Korean people today are highly critical and do not tolerate forceful government actions that invade basic rights.
Many newspapers including NYT love to spin the whole “Korea traded in privacy for freedom of movement” story not caring for any factchecking (though that particular phrase in part is true in some sense because of the amended law I mentioned) and claim that Korean government is tracking and watching every citizen’s whereabouts. (Possibly because they want to believe that Korea’s approach cannot be replicated in the US or Europe.) That is simply inaccurate and negligent journalism. I am glad that people like you are more informed about the nuanced situation.
Very proud of having such a classy minister in our country, South Korea!
so true!
She said we need cooperation to fight through the virus, and he tried to find something to find fault with.
transparency, openness, preparation for disaster, and fight for saving citizens as many as possible. this is the perspective of Korean government on citizens and also humans. i am truly proud of our president and government.

How wisely she is answering to the tricky question about the U.S and WHO!
@@evonnec1711 I agree. Personally I don't like the way WHO has done. But if I had been her, I would have spoken the same answer. If she hadn't, it would have raised a political issue in Korea. I just wanted to point out how smartly she avoid making any problems.
@@evonnec1711 South Korea didn't follow who instructions, so we can say she isn't a supporter
The entire world is following South Korea's idea of setting up walk-in testing booths, and contact tracing. South Korea really has an efficient government.
korea is better than China and Japan
Unfortunately, not the entire world. Some governments aren’t telling the truth and are more concerned about the 1% of the population instead of the whole. I’m extremely appreciative of the transparency displayed by S. Korea.
Best wishes for People in France.

Our previous government was really stupid and incompetent. Our 3 million people gathered at same place and protested against the government without any violence. We finally changed them to new government. Now this new government works very well. But we are asking them better than now. Because we want the highest quality of democracy in this world. Yesterday one Franch lawyer mention that Korean government is dictatorship. It's not true. I as a Korean, I want to say her. "Study more and hard. Be modest please!! Respect others."
Was he talking about the north? They are a dictatorship
You don't know what You're talking about... Right now President Moon is an indeed S. Korean traitor, supporting CCP and N. Korea. He is the one collaborated to put former president Park geun hae imprisonment. He's been working on to get reelected, allowing many Chinese into S. Korea which they're spies to Democracratic nation to all over the world to collect dollar currency. The CCP elites build Chinatown all over the world, smuggle many illegal Chinese, build a business to collect dollar currency. All Chinese are spies; chosenjok from China speaks bith languages, Chinese internatioal students, Chinese business people, fake marriage, illegals, are all for China. They're the seeds spread all over the world for China.
South Korea has done an amazing job! I wish we had such leadership here in the U.S. 26,000 deaths!
Now over 44,000 deaths and growing.
Here in New Zealand our scientists watched how South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore responded to corona. Their experiences have greatly informed our elimination strategy.
Vik Z but basically South Korean method is way more democratic than those of two countries and Singapore now is increasing infected cases and urge the public to wear a mask which Singaporean govt never advised in the first place.
@@limelight777 democracy wasn't uppermost in scientists' minds. How these countries went about responding to corona was. In relation to South Korea's speed of testing/tracing and case isolation processes, these have been of particular interest; mainly because we know we'll have to boost our processes as we come out of our lockdown. One of a number of steps in which we'll be able to keep the virus out of NZ (assuming we're successful in eliminating it).
Vik Z once lockdown finish NZ will go custard like Singapore. Because Kiwis do not wear masks, don't bother about social distancing, and can't help themselves social gathering, lack of IT technology, lack of testing kits etc I don't see how NZ can cope in long term. The nature/attitude of ppl in NZ are different to ppl in Korea.
@@deliciousnoodles5505 Agree the govt failed spectacularly on lack of control measures in the the migrant workers' dorms a dn see how it escalates every day. a few hundreds per day at least. Minus the migrant worker's infection numbers, our numbers should not be so high. We will squeeze into the top 10 "viral" nations soon.
Singapore - You will receive multiple text messages sent by the government on a daily basis saying all need to wear mask and keep social distancing otherwise you will be fined by the first-time offend and imprisoned after several offends with much heavier fine (foreigners' visa will be revoked and permanently barred from working in Singapore) which sound very much like threatening than advisory. It's so clear the government isn't transparent, lacks ability to track cases, and their reaction and necessary measures were taken place too late when seeing the current surging trend - and yet no one voices out how Singapore government is incompetent and segregating and marginalising work permit holders who provide labour at cheap cost at factories, construction sites etc that no Singaporean is willing to do.
"We have acted quickly and preemptively and that is not just our philosophy but is a reflection of our recent experiences. You may know that 2014 we had terrible ferry boat accident (that) we lost 304 lives in misstep of very inactive(?) response from the government at the time and that has been a collective trauma to all Korean people." 메르스 때 '살려야 한다' A4 용지를 뽑아 붙여뒀던 당시 정부를 생각하면 지금의 정부는 상상할 수 없어요. 정치는 정말 중요하고, 우리가 과거에서 배워서 다행입니다.
"ineptive"
PD NY thanks!!!!
Collective trauma indeed!!! I have been traumatised for many years by the fact that the young victims were literally abandoned by the authority. I never forgive Park and her government as well as her ruling party at that time. Even more horrific thing was and still is the fact that not only the right wing politicians but also fascist group of people called 'ilbe' insulted the victims and their remaining families in a most evil way beyond your imagination. The current president Moon has been with the victims families all the way and now he is the target for the right wing fascist groups. They are all over the places on internet spreading fake stories that Moon is a dictator or China' puppet, etc.
Very 'inept' response
@@DrWho44 You're being very blind. Indeed, President Moon is a traitor not only he collaborated to put former President Park Guen Hae and put her prisonment. Also, he is an indeed a traitor to S. Korea supporting the Communist China and N. Korea. Allowing entry of many Chinese spies in S .Korea, allowing investing RE in Jaeju and jeollado providence, allowing election vote as well. Oh don't forget Chinese international students and chosonjeok are Chinese spies to S. Korean.. Chinese Communist Party elites opened up Chinatown businesses and smuggling many illegal Chinese to all the Democratic nations to get dollar currency to collect from all over the world..... wakeup... why don't you go live in China... lol.. moron...

Me too 😍💕
I think, it's really important that who is the leader in that country /organization. South Korean president Mr Moon was a former student activist, human right lawyer also he ran the human right law office with former South Korean president Moo-hyun, Noh before entering the politics. Mr Moon has been published book and it's called - "humanity is prior to anything" which was his political slogan as well. He's not chasing any fame, wealth, power during his life even his presidency. I know many former presidents chased these. He's only concerning about their people's better life (Reducing financial burden for low class, improving system to boost national economic, creating more jobs, etc..) so he has warm heart and cold brain to run the country, especially he has been improved relationship with North Korea. So their people strongly believes this government and president as well. that' why they're handling very well about this COVID-19 disaster too.
Don't be a fool. President Moon is a traitor to S. Korean. He's supporting CCP and N. Korea. The former president was impeached, imprisonment collaborated by Moon. The Prime Minster is just doing her job... All the Chinatown is built by CCP elites who have money and smuggle, hire all illegal Chinese for investment to get foreign currency to CCP(Chinese Communist Party)... All Chinese international students chosenjok, fake marriage , etc, are all work for China... Don't be a fool by mainstream media.
@@heavenhaven7254 Please give us your solutions how to stop the CCP without any economic sufferings... Many wealthy Chinese invested money around world Also Huge Chinese traveller's bring money and keep feeding country' local business, shops. what is your solution ? how the South Korean can be reunited without talking with North Korea ? you have no solutions just like the Korean opposition party. there are always pro and cons about having a good relationship with any other countries.. Not just China.. even USA. why many Korean people support Mr Moon by recent election ?
@@heavenhaven7254 Come on in, the next person from a parallel universe.
Totally agreed! Are you Korean? How come could you know about him so deeply?
Incredibly impressed with the response from the S. Korean government and it's citizens in regards to this virus. They know it's not just about Korea but the world at large. Other countries need to look at S. Korea as an example of how to deal with such matters. Keep fighting the good fight!!
@J U S T I C E That's the great thing about democracy, people actually have a chance to change things. I wish more people around the world could look past themselves and think about the greater good as Koreans have. Proper governments are supposed to work for the people not the other way around, I'm glad S. Koreans were able to change that.
As a Korean, I think all this can be defined in one word. democracy. People in countries affected deadly by the corona crisis need to exercise their votes more carefully. Except Japan. Because I personally cheer for Prime Minister Abe. :D

Citizens liberty vs greater goods? Korea citizens had fought for their right to know to protect themselves from the fatal disease in 2015, MERS. At the time, the prime minster, Hwang said that one or two deaths were not the kind of issue to be dealt directly by PRIME MINISTER. People were angry and demanded all information open to public. The president Park was impeached 2 years later, and Korean are still, always criticizing and participating or sometimes fighting with the government for freedom and happiness. That openness is the victory of citizens and will be continuously evolving. Proud of her, more proud of citizen Korean.
They learnt from past experienced as she mentioned. So, learnt from the past and acted right in right time is the key. And citizens there learnt from past experienced as well.
Much respect, she rocks!!

During Koryo dynasty -- whence the word Korea comes from -- we were at war with China almost every day. Since about 2,500 years there's been at least a dozen wars (perhaps baker's dozen). As a result we're constantly on guard of all things China. We avoided SARS unscathed. MERS caught us off guard since it seemed it didn't originate from China. We may well be the most China-proof nation on earth.

I wish you may stay safe. You would survive, taking responsibility one person at a time. You know what to do... wear a mask if you can afford, regardless of what the media and masses make of it. Stay at home as much as possible, and don't let fear engulf your rationality.
In Korea there are numerous proverbs, all paraphrasing a single idea; it was proven to our nation through history, and it is proving itself now:
Every night has its day, and every day has its night.
America had her brightest day, then dusk, and perhaps now the night has fallen. But please persist through it, the day awaits to be seized again.
I hope you would survive through this.

It doesn't matter where do you live in the world, anything can happen to threatening life over the times. Now it is up to you to choose solve the problem or blaming past or somebody. The Korean government and people chose to solve the problems and be prepared to go forward to be make better for their own people and the global community. I would like to say to the leaders of many other countries, you also have a choice to choose blaming and step down others or choose to solve the problem for your people and help each other to be live together!

As a Koran Canadian, I am so proud of the current Korean government value, leadership and dedicated work for the people!
