- The history of Korea began over 700,000 years ago when people started settling in the region. The first recognized state in Korea was called Gojoseon, which had a dispute with China’s Han dynasty and collapsed by 108 BC.

Hello, South Korean here. Thank you soo much for sharing this information and raising awareness about this issue. As a working korean myself, the working culture is literal hell. We work around 15 to 18 hours a day and even somtimes 19 hours. It gets soo bad to the point that we just end up sleeping in the office or the resting area instead of going home to save sleeping time. In regards to 회식 (company dinner), its not that forced upon, although u do get pressured to go there by your subordinate but a lot of people do understand that you would rather rest instead of going out for dinner. The worst part of it all is that, many korean people have no choice but to work this long hours because properly price is expensive and living cost is on the rise.
Are you guys actually forced to drink alcohol? That sounds like it should be illegal
도대체 한국 어디서 일을 하길래 하루 19시간을 근무하죠? 한국사람 맞나요? 한국은 주 50시간 근무가 엄격하게 적용되고 있는 나라입니다. 조금이라도 기준을 초과하면 회사는 엄청난 불이익을 감수해야 됩니다. 한국은 지금 노동자의 권리가 너무 높아서 투자할려는 외국회사들도 심각하게 고심하는 나라중 하나입니다. 아마 당신은 높은확률로 한국인인척 하며 한국을 폄하하려는 중국인인것 같네요
Korea is turning like japan. The growth is so fast but the population is declining. 10 years from now that would be their main problem.
why is this dude pretending to be korean? ridiclous.
Are you serious? Korean people are working 15 to 18 hrs a day? and sometimes 19 hrs? I am Korean too. I never heard about it. I and all my friend used to work not more than 8 hrs a day.
You have really earned my respect for telling the truth..
I worked as an English Teacher at a Hagwon in South Korea from 2018-2019. I left for the exact reasons you stated. Students bullying each other was even not taken seriously. When I mentioned it to my director about what was happening, nothing changed. The student being bullied, changed schools because it got so bad
That's a serious problem.. They should at least have tried to address the issue and provide support.. It's depressing to hear.. Were there bullying among the teachers and administratin too.. I had that experience as a teacher in Singapore
South Korea has a hierarchical social structure that can often be toxic. It becomes toxic when superior over step their boundaries. This social structure also influences bullying in all social levels if there are no set boundaries.
not can ! it always is toxic !
Sounds like a horrible place to live.
It actually is… 😢
It isn’t, this video raises good points but doesn’t raise the positives which I shouldn’t even have to mention will obviously change your perception.

Hell Korea, they say.
@@DEEYANASE I am born and raised there and it’s nowhere near as bad as this video makes out, it’s a mixture of huge scandals with information from years ago like most videos about Korea, this stuff does happen but it’s a lot more tame and he doesn’t mention the positives at all.
@@DEEYANASE again, he brings up good points which should be addressed added with some dramatization to get more views which is fine, just don’t be mislead as there are a lot of things which make it very livable
Not sure if I watched the dark side of South Korea or Japan. Both have literally the same problems...
That's what happens when you get conquered by America, humiliation and the destruction of your society 😂
Soon China will follow the same path.
Yes because both are already very materialistic countries..
Anything detrimental to someone's health. IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, how these companies think this Is ok Is demented
I live in a country (Scotland) where less than 100 years ago, a normal 21st birthday present, for girls especially, was a visit to the dentist - to have all their teeth pulled out, not always under anaesthetic by any manner of means. The water here is naturally pure and soft; great for making whisky, drinking and washing, but the lack of natural salts in it is not good for making strong teeth. Coupled with the love of sugar here because we had a vibrant industry importing it from the Caribbean and refining it for worldwide distribution, which made it cheap locally... well, you can guess that tooth decay and almost constant pain from it was huge. Pulling out all the teeth and getting falsers was a seemingly perfectly reasonable answer to the problem. On the other hand, it may just have been a very sensible method of birth control, but we won't talk about that, will we? ..... and we can be sure that in good old Presbyterian Scotland they didn't either. So, when I see these vids about how weird the habits of other nations are I take them with a pinch of salt... but not sugar... and our dental health is now good and getting better all the time. What a shame!
South Korea seems to be in mental overload and locked down by traditions. There's no end to human vanity and strife. Must be hard to grow up and live there. But it's also very cool with all the tech, music, dramas, and food.
u can live outside korea and still get the tech, music, dramas, and food.
I think it must be ultra shitty to have studied so hard for so many years and even get a professional degree to then be faced with a reality in which you wouldn't be able of exercise your profession or even worse don't get a job at all (I mean if it is bad in countries where the academic competition and presure isn't that extreme, it must be worse in a culture where children are burdened out with pressure and a lot of homework since an early age).
As an American living in Korea for five years now, to be fair, _most_ of these issues mainly just apply to Seoul. Most Koreans outside of Seoul aren't this miserable. The work grind and long hours are true, but family life is a lot stronger as well, so people endure through it all.
True but since half the population live in Seoul metro area it’s a big issue forsure
700.000 years ago was no Homo sapiens and definitely no 'settling' going on.
I'm not sure if this is accurate genetically speaking, the Koreans I was exposed to before the K-beauty, K-drama and K-pop became popular have mostly sqaurish jawline.. so I'll guess the V-jaw surgery should be pretty common as well? 🤔
Edit: I'm not Korean btw.. That's my current favorite actor🤭
4:55 Hmm that's a "strict diet" I can really go for!! 😁
Very interesting video every country in the world have dark sides to them the way it was told in the video was very good and easy to follow and understand appreciate the video it's just go to show that the world is way more dark then light but that's reality after all people are a overpopulated race so every people fight to just hopefully a piece of the good happy and for fulfilling life
I'm south korean and i refer to my own country as real life cyberpunk, Samsung and LG being arasaka and militech equvilent.
Wow, crazy place
I read a web comic called Weak Hero, is that based on the social state there? just wondering because i lot of web comics i find basing off or in South Korea seems horrible to be in school in general, though im sure exaggerated it sounds like hell even if decreased 50%
As far as I am concerned, South Korea is a huge global entertainment, with their artists becoming in-demand endorsers (ahem, see Philippines).
And to be fair, I thought they are world class. The plot is quality and interesting, or at least based on the series and films I watched.
"Parasite" becoming the first non-American OSCAR Best Picture speaks a lot of their storytelling artistry.
Plastic surgery and using it as parents' gift in graduating HS is something I knew long before their entertainment boom.
What's surprising is the high bullying cases and and high plastic surgery demands.
As always, thank you for this feature. Every country has its ugly side that we need to acknowledge, the same way we recognize their attractional and appealing side.
No country is perfect every nation has its problem
Hoesik is kinda like Nomikai in Japan, correct?
Kids studying 15 hours a day is just too much.
It is interesting to notice that both Koreas reached and float in the extremities of political (economic) systems.
If you think South Korea is an extreme case of capitalism then you don't know anything about South Korea. Literally.
I think the argument can be made that this was sort of true in the late 1990s, which was a pretty bad time if you were to hypothetically ask anyone from both Koreas. But South Korea was suffering from the 1997 Asian financial crisis, which was caused by the excesses of capitalism. They were one of the most affected nations by the crisis, along with Thailand and Indonesia. Meanwhile, North Korea, a centrally planned economy, was suffering from a literal famine caused by the recent collapse of their ally, the Soviet Union, and was too inflexible with food production to respond effectively.
Which 1 treats their young worse? Jp or SK?
Nothing can change my love for this country ❤
Not just SOUTH KOREA. Many countries now the same including AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺. But it not mentioned in media. So sad this is. PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS 🙏 R WITH ALL STUDENTS AND TEACHERS.
U rlly think its that worse?
are u stupid u cant compare fcking australia with that
I'm Australian and I guarantee you it is nothing like this. Nearly everyone works or studies no more than 40 hours per week. Thats the law. Good looks obviously can be an advantage but the obesity epidemic proves we have the reverse problem. Most people dont give a damn what university, if any, that you attended. Most western countries are similar to this.
that thumbnail tho
Oh hell yeah. Not sure about plastic surgery but your right about working and studying issues
Anyone know what movie is at 0:52 - 0:55? Looks interesting
K pop..and people call heavy metal evil!!☠️
Seems like a mix of 80s USA and Britain.
Do we really call that a kidnapping attempt? The dude walks up to her in the middle of a concert Was like you're going to come with me now and started walking away and then people were like. Yeah no you're not doing that
unless there's more to it that wasn't in that clip
apparently all relevant history started in 1900s
"Hoesik", it's "Hwe Sik" (회식). ㅛㅐㅕ(웁스), You might want to find out their accurate pronunciation the next time you report...
Its same in india too😢😢😢
700.000 years ago? Wow, homo sapiens did not even exist, but history of Korea already started.
8:15 I'm so glad their president did that honestly. It sounds extremely wrong to be holding an entire civilization to such ridiculous standards based on visual appeal.
I know it's a problem everywhere but I don't know a single person in my life that's had plastic surgery. But it sounds like it's everywhere in SK.
Add Thailand.
I thought Thailand is the plastic surgery capital in the world. Perhaps South Korea has that claim already, considering its global entertainment value.
Just so you know, J is not pronounced "H" in Korea.
700.000 years ago?! KOREA FCK YEAH !!! Oh my Cheabal.
Which K-drama is he speaking of?
I believe it's talking about "The Glory" on Netflix.
That's just terrible and inexcusable, bullying sweet beautiful young ladies
A lot of these things applies to America as well
The real life cyberpunk dystopia
Low crime, 7th lowest homelessness in the world, 5th highest life expectancy. Healthy economy. Wealth and income inequality one of the lowest in the developed world (for example, lower than Canada and Germany). That's a cyberpunk dystopia to you?
@@Soleilasens not that way,I mean as mega corporations controling the country and getting away with anything they do.
@@Soleilasens Germany have lower income inequality than South Korea
only post-tax, and only due to literal handouts@@dekyne3227
@@Soleilasensno but the low fertility, swersides, and overworking, gives it a dark future. Also the plastic/ artificial look( your physical self and personality).
you have no idea...
North and south will unite soon
No USA troops in Korea?
What about mentioning the population decline.
0:05 It is China
I don't think the history of Korea begain 700,000 years ago 🤣
So korea wasn't aa Chinese vassal state for nearly 2 thousand years someone best tell all those historians there korea was free till Japan invaded
Xenophobic attitudes were left out of the video. My own experience working for a Korean company was that Koreans tend to look down on non-Koreans, and that even those Koreans born or raised overseas are often treated as second-class.
I can't confirm that. I am treated very respectfully. It sometimes borders on reverence, so that I sometimes feel uncomfortable.
That nothing compared to UPSE 😂
I see
But AOC implied it’s all fine because universal healthcare.
700 thousand years ago LOL. I checked the korean website and thats what it says. Total BS. Homoe sapiens came to existense 300 k years ago. LOL TOTAL BS
Plenty of K-Pop stars have broken down under the stress.
lol, such weeklings
No system or country is perfect. They all come with flaws and benefits.
Despite everything mentioned in this video, this system promotes a "be the best version of yourself" culture. It can be suffocating and a small percentage doesn't survive it. The ones that do though, excel. The overwhelming majority is way above average. The average Korean person has basic practical intelligence, broad knowledge and common logic. In comparison with most other systems / countries, where the very few excel, and everybody else is much below average, with a large percentage of the population living at the idiot level. The fact is that despite its problems and harsh reality, South Korea as a whole brings real growth, development and vision to humanity, where in most other countries we get social degradation from a system of ochlocracy and idiocracy. While the west fights on what to do, Korea has done it and does the next thing. Which system delivers happiness is a whole different discussion but a log getting rotten in the rain is naturally happier than a person who struggles becoming the best and helps lifting humanity in the process.
I totally agree with your opinion. Living in the UK I have seen our standards drop dramatically, parenting is not regarded as a worthwhile job anymore and they are leaving it up to society to teach their children how to clean their teeth, how to eat with cutlery and even how to potty train. No ambition for themselves or their offspring, except for the upper class. You don’t need to be rich to be a good parent, just caring.
Leave the Korean ladies alone, they are gorgeous just the way they are

대체로 맞는 내용이지만 모두가 다 그렇지는 않죠. 그래도 채널 주인이 나름대로 공부 많이 하고 만든 듯 합니다.
This is generally true but it's not everyone. It seems like the channel owner put down a lot of research into it before making it.
What the heck is wrong with eating dog meat anyway. Meat is meat. Why are people allowed to enslave dogs as pets. That’s the real problem.
If you would know how they do it prepared... you wouldn't say that
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 누가보면 한국인들이 다 성형하는줄 알겠네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 100명중 5명도 성형을 안합니다.... 통계를보세요.... 그리고 성형은 자유로운 나라에서 많이합니다. 사회적인 외모압박이 아닙니다. 한국은 과거보다 사회적인 외모압박이 최소 10배이상 줄어들었다. 한국에서는 화장을 아예 하지않은 여성들이 과거보다 더 많아졌고 당당하다. 재밌는것은 성형을 하는 사람들도 많아졌다. 이것은 개인의 자유가 극대로 커져서 아시아여성의 외모욕구가 폭발한것이다. 사회적인 여성에 대한 외모압박이 절대 아니다. 2010년이면 인정하겠지만, 지금 2024년은 절대 아니다. 한국에서 살아봐라.(홍대,이태원,강남 같은 양아치,쓰레기들많은곳 말고 ㅋㅋ 😂)
