❤️10 Funny Pranks! Prank Wars! • Video
We are all amazed at the lives of the rich. That’s why reality television shows centering around affluent people do so well. People want to know what it’s like to never worry about the costs of anything. They want to see inside the newest cars and the biggest homes. So, we’ve decided to take you into the lives of the Rich Kids of South Korea so you can see just what it’s like.
First of all, the most well-off kids in South Korea, live in the Gangnam area. We know you probably thought Gangnam was just from the song Gangnam Style, but no it’s a real area and it’s like the Silicon Valley and Beverly Hills of South Korea all at once. When a person says they live in the area, you know they are in the top 1% of South Korean wealth.
The rich kids don’t shy away from plastic surgery. In South Korea, it is common to get procedures done that make your eyes bigger and your nose look longer. These surgeries are an attempt to look more western and to show off to those around you that money can truly buy anything, including your looks.
Being born into a family with money also means that you probably won’t go to school in South Korea. No, the richest families send their kids off to schools in English speaking countries. This gives the children a leg up on learning the language to almost a native proficiency.
From the lavish houses to the dietary preferences, everything is different for the well-off kids in South Korea. Watch until the end of Inside The Lives of The Rich Kids of South Korea to find out which beverage equals affluence in the country.

Title: Rich Kids of South Korea
Thumbnail: Shows a girl from Hong Kong
2NE1 was 2 good for YG pero CL sigue con YG
2NE1 was 2 good for YG but isn’t she rich and living in Korea?
LMAO
@@Juicyfruit123 living in korea doesn't mean she's korean
Ew hongkong
Rich kids are the same all over the world. They go to expensive schools, using expensive handbags and having luxurious cars. I don't see why coffee even became a part of this video because everybody could afford coffee in South Korea. I'm very disappointed by the actual content of this video.
Then it's the same here in the U.S! I'm just saying coffee in SK is just as common as coffee in the U.S!
The content of this video was helped put together by a "Korean-American insider" so go figure, it's just sloppy work overall
If they want to find *Super Rich Kids* , they have to go to 평창동, 이태원동, 한남동. Not Gangnam. Gangnam is just one of the expensive area in korea. Not for Super rich. And contents are out of date.
Zuo Zhou I agree
totally agree
Let me pop your bubble. Getting plastic surgery or coffee is not a luxury in South Korea.
plastic surgery is common in Korea tho... Anybody that is able to afford it can get it, so it's basically not a Luxury
soda my bad something up with my phone.
soda I was bored. I heard figures. But didn't really get a lot from the content. So no. I wasn't shocked.
indeed. surgery is their lifestyle and Korea is known for that
How cheap is that people can just walk in and get it??
There's so many inaccuracies and misunderstandings on Korean culture here. Asian cultures are often misunderstood from a western perspective. They should have hired a Korean journalist to research and fact check this segment. Because there were so many missed opportunities of interesting points, I have written some corrections below:
INACCURACIES & MISUNDERSTANDINGS:
- KOREAN V AMERICAN WEALTH: The difference with Korea and American wealth is that it is extremely concentrated in the prior; there are an extremely small number of very wealthy families that own everything (ex: Samsung, LG, Hyundai, etc). They are extremely private and live extremely privileged lives.
- SEOUL: A huge proportion of the population lives in Seoul, making it an extremely expensive city to live in. You often hear from Manhattanites that "1m in NY doesn't go far" (due to housing costs, private education, etc). Same concept with Seoul. Segment didn't make that leap and convey this.
- CLASS DISTINCTIONS & WEALTH GAPS: With a huge proportion of the population living in Seoul, it means there are huge class distinctions and wealth gaps in Korea. There's (1) the ultra-wealthy mentioned above, then (2) the very wealthy ($1m+/yr, includes some businessmen, doctors, lawyers, professors, landed families), then (3) the middle class (in Korea, would be considered the typical white collar worker), then (4) the ultra poor (which in Korea, is often the blue collars/etc). It would have been great if segment clarified which tier of wealth they're examining: the ultra-wealthy or the very wealthy? If they meant to highlight the ultra-wealthy, the segment is almost entirely inaccurate.
- QUALITY OF LIFE: Notice the differences in classes between Korea and America; America has an ultra wealthy wealthy .01% class, the wealthy 1% ($400,000+/yr), a large middle class, and the ultra poor/below poverty line. Yet, in America, the quality of life is higher, because America is significantly larger, there are more options where to live, and people can select locations which lower cost of living.
Now, imagine taking those 4 classes in Korea and shoving them all in Manhattan. They all have to face a high cost of living. It makes the poor dirt poor and upward mobility for the middle class extremely difficult, making the gap between the higher 2 versus the lower 2 classes extremely pronounced and bleak. This is why it is a big deal for the lower 2 classes, if someone from there marries into the higher 2 tiers.
- MARRYING WITHIN/NEAR YOUR CLASS: If, as the segment states, that 1 doctor/lawyer may make an average of $300,000, they neglected to understand or mention that in Korea, people generally feel familial and cultural pressure to marry within or above their class. This means that 1 doctor is likely married to another doctor, or someone doing similarly or better. If both are working, this would make a combined income of $600,000, which is well above the 1% mark in America. In Korea, wealth consolidates, class lines have stayed over generations, and marrying above your rank is very difficult and often taboo.
- NUCLEAR FAMILY STRUCTURE AFFECTING $$: The show also neglected to realize that the Asian nuclear families are very structured and still practice primogeniture. Families--rich or poor--provide for their children well into adulthood and beyond; it's not like America, where wealthy families independently decide whether to support their children beyond 18 or 22 or beyond, and others do not judge. If the family has the means, they also likely bought all their children's apartments for them and additionally still give them a monthly stipend or credit card. This often goes on well into their child's marriage. Note that the eldest son always makes out like a bandit, due to primogeniture, but the others are still taken care of financially (does not always mean emotionally).
- THIS IMPACT ON THE REST OF ONE'S FINANCIAL LIFE: So, if said doctor above makes $300,000 and is from a family with some means, that family paid for his/her education, etc. This means that unlike in America, many people do not have direct student debt (either their parents took it on, or their parents simply paid for their school)--allowing people to directly take home their entire salaries. This is a huge difference in American v Asian culture. So, if a doctor couple collectively makes $600,000/yr, and 1 or both of their parents have means, then they aren't paying for their homes and also may receive stipends/credit cards from their parents. The $600,000 goes towards raising their children or investments or just all spent (worst option, but it happens).
- PRIVATE EDUCATION: This segment made a catastrophic mistake stating that many wealthy Koreans either go to Korean public school OR private school abroad. Korean private school is a BIG THING in Asia--far bigger than it is in America. And there are many options. (1) Asian culture cares more for education, at all class levels; (2) private schools are another form of prestige/separation/networking and also open up better collegiate options (nationally and internationally) and job opportunities in Korea.
- COSTS NOT FACTORED: The wealthy Koreans go to prestigious private schools in Korea or abroad, AND they also employ numerous private tutors. The wealthiest Asians do not go to large English classes--they have a private tutor come to their home. The cost of Asian education from pre-K through 12 is extremely expensive. This cost goes down in college, since the cost of higher education is significantly less there, than it is in America.

I really enjoyed your comment! It's much better than the video itself!
When a comment says more than the video
Same in China.
Amazing! I’m a Korean who is considered rich.. you seem very well educated!!
U should probably find a job
Why do they put bts in this video.... literally the only wealthy member was Seokjin (which we found out recently) and the group struggled really hard in the beginning and the company was deep in dept.
😥😧commercially misused#bts#
ofc for views😏
Debt*
But they are pretty rich now
i do, you are quite the dumbass I see. They put BTS in the video atleast three times, reason why, so that people who like BTS will carry on watching that shitty video and might want to watch their other videos, which all of them that are about Korea recently, include BTS either in the thumbnail or in the video. That, person on the internet, is called using someone for views. It is even more obvious and definite when the topic doesn't include them.
-Send your kid to boarding school
-Live in expensive neighborhoods
-Debt
-Plastic Surgery
-Expensive Coffee
-Fashion Savvy
-Marry whoever you want
-Connections in high places
So... exactly like rich Americans.
Loneclone Productions
You don't marry whoever you want. Usually has to be another rich person.
jxsilicon9 uhh no. That was like decades ago. If you don’t know, don’t speak god damn it
Jason Choi
Yea, you can just marry anyone off the street.shutup
It's hyperbole.
Loneclone Productions Plastic surgery is everyone.
As a Korean I can assure you that this video is very wrong...
right, pretty much everything about it. even the bit about coffee
징크스 how do you know? Are you rich?
You are a real korean
Well... it's true. But because there is no billianair in korea, dosen't mean there's no rich people in korea.
Thai vid is wrong becuz really rich Korean never show off.
eating $2 ramen and $6 coffee, thats literally everyone
6$ coffee? There are cheaper options
Ramen in my country is less than a dollar, and coffee is about a dollar.
That will be coffee with a bagel and cream cheese
Ramen when I live costs $11 😭 and coffee from Starbucks costs around 8 dollars
even in indonesia some of my friend who live in jakarta live like this too so yeah it's not about rich kids it's about lifestyle
Talko, you should do inside the life of TheTalko employees.
Haha maybe we will!
Great idea!!
Do the life of BTS
Do it, it will make your views up more than!
Pamela Wilson nahh
"if youre rich youre a shoe-in for the entertainment industry" *shows a picture of bts, where none except seokjin came from rich parents*
Allyson Kirkland yeah but he was not like a member his my bias Cry
True
who cares
also seokjin said when he was born they were not rich, his father worked so hard for their wealth, probably why seokjin is so down to earth..
Jin made it to BigHit all by himself, only with his talent 💜
I’m korean and there are so many wrong information and photos....
yujin cho hh
you can korea you know. You think if you say korea, we will think that you re from north Korea ? lmao
ok
does the people who don't know bts even care? wtf
TxR Osprey you don't care then don't comment on them no one asked you to
The thumbnail is Elkie........who's not even Korean........lmao
right 😂😂😂
Rose Dizon lol i know im korean and im like wtf haha
And Sorn hahah
Ummmm SOUTH korean CITIZEN!
stan clc
Did anybody else find this video rather condescending? "What you will consider rich in the East part of the world, you might find to be just normal in the West"? This is a really inaccurate and very Euro/US-centric portrayal of the world. The middle class in Korea and Japan are much larger and on average more affluent than that of many Western nations. Not to mention the extremely wealthy country of Singapore, and India and China already becoming the next world power(s). It's odd to me how The Talko seems to value a few billionaires in the US/UK, etc. and ignore the extreme poverty that occurs there that is a rarity in South Korean and Japan. And then they were like, considering their GDP, South Korea has relatively few billionaires as if that's a bad thing? Like that means income disparity is less prevalent in South Korea, it is a GOOD thing. Sure extremely rich people might make for a better video, but you shouldn't act like "Oh, these little Asian countries have some relatively rich people, not like our great Western Nations!!" Keep this attitude and you'll end up losing out (you already are) to those nations you claim are averagely rich.
their info is outdated af. they're obviously using sk for views from kboos and kpop fans 💀🙄
Whatd you expect? They dont even use real footage of those kids lifestyle nor they interview real koreans. Pretty shitty channel id say
Ugh I agree.....
That's what I was saying to like how they said "if South Koreans go to the US their in for a rude awakening", like get out of your head there are other great countries in the world. In my opinion this video is very biased.
I have to stop you right there.. when you mentioning singapore as the next world power..
that tiny island you call country is not world power at all, b'coz when disaster came.. you gone.
I grew up in a little below middle class family with my grandma(My dad and mom were divorced so they gave my sister and I to my grandma)
She had a very small clothing shop in Seoul that we lived in. She worked many hours to take care of me and my sister. And since I was loved learning, she raised enough money to send me off to US to her relatives.
Watching this video honestly broke my heart because I feel like talking rich people makes people kinda overlook the people who do start at the bottom and work hard to make their dreams come true.
But tbh, I don't even know if my comment makes sense, so have a nice day everyone
Galaxy Boy that's a very cool and pretty honest comment 👍
Galaxy Boy it does make sense and huge respect to your grandma i miss mine though....
Galaxy Boy I know how you feel. #Relate
it was mentioned at some parts indeed that for some families to be able to send their kids abroad, the father will have to stay in korea and work until late while the wife and kids live in a foreign country for a year or two.. I know this from personal experience too. (in your case your granma.. and I admire her for that. I too grew up with my grandma.)
Your parents just gave you up?
I still don’t get why they used BTS they weren’t born into rich families except for one of them. They all worked for what they have.
actually , it's two
both jin and jungkook were born in "rich" families
but they literally just used BTS's picture when they started to talk about music in SK so.. ?
Its jin and rm
Make-up Minds probably as a example?
Even Lee Min Min hoo (A kseries actor) came in that video for a marriage subject ,but yet he didn't marry anyone . Do you care?
And they aren't.....kids....
Took me long enough to comment but this video's thumbnail is extremely ironic.
> Titled "Inside The Lives Of The Rich Kids Of South Korea"
> Shows Elkie, a Chinese from Hong Kong.
True XD
It's really funny to think about it, though it's highly probable that Elkie's family is pretty well off considering her family moving to South Korea.
True
젠드기 no wonder she didn't have a monolid
젠드기 don't call hong Kong china
coffee is not a luxury in korea omg
지국 I think she just means the coffee they drink in gangnam? Maybe it's designer coffee
Tbh, coffee is quite expensive in Australia, when I buy from Starbucks it costs almost 7 dollars
Jimin’s Jams dam that is expensive
You can also buy 7 dollars (and up) coffee in seoul, Skorea.. coffee in korea is much expensive compared to other countries.
Brewed coffee at cafes is a luxury since you don’t really need it. A lot of Koreans drink instant coffee which is much cheaper than cafe coffee.
why do they keep showing photos of bts lmao
same I keep on seeing my babies
they just showed it twice , chill
Ikr
Probably Tae and his GUCCI obsession.
Loool fair enough. But the kid was originally a farmer lol. They probably just searched up popular Korean celebrities and stuck them in the slide show somewhere.
Talking about Chaebols marrying actresses but showing a picture of Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki... Then talking about rich kids of korea but showing pics of BTS time and time again... The boyband that came from a small agency and had zero connections... 😂😂😂
I think it is important to note that prior to the mid 60's, Korea was one of poorest countries in the world. Today it has the 11th largest economy in the world. A rapid growth in a short amount of time. Only recently china has grown the fastest in the shortest amount of time. But seeing how small in size Korea is to china and how much less natural resources Korea has, gives you an idea how badass they are.
North Korea isn't the 11th largest economy in the world, so this is talking about South Korea.
Now 7th in the world
It's population is very low. So there for they could grow faster than countries with high population. Like if the country have a high population the poverty unemployment all crisis will increase.
BTS did not come from a rich affluent family . why are they in this video?
cause they are popular and these channels live off of that
ari s Jin did
no he didn’t. Jin was born into a poor family and his father worked incredibly hard so his family could live more comfortably. He was more middle class and not this “rich chaebol” y’all think he was.
ari s yes but the video is talking about rich people and since he is rich/comes from a rich family they are talking about it. Just because he is humble that does not negate the fact that he is rich...
jordan klarc but the vid is talking about the lives of rich kids, Jin being well off has nothing to do with BTS bc he didn't use his status to help BTS. We don't even know who his parents are. They didn't even mention BTS, they just used their pictures.
LOL ELKIE IS NOT EVEN KOREAN 😂
IKR 😂😂😂
I like this video very much ua-cam.com/video/QRYYEHYa5Ac/v-deo.html
As a korean i can confirm somepart of this video is wrong.
이현지 In which kind of way?(never was in S-korea)
Exactly 0.o
I don't care if you're Korean. I care if you're rich.
Technical Machine lol gold digger fk off. I am the one ure lookin for tho
You can only confirm it if you're rich. We are here because we don't know what the rich are spending their money on regardless you're a Korean or not. If you're not rich, you don't know.
lmfao im cackling at how she pronounced hyundai addjlfsajkldak
BOI U STUCK IN 2016, because no one cares about POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
'Tis a joke my friend. I want you to L-A-U-G-H. And you accused her of doing something you've got no idea she might say.
So let us all sit down and be humble.
Since generalizations and accusations are out of trend now.
Hdidhrurbrv her pronunciation of all things Korean is murdering me. Gangum..raymen..wtf
Hiunday
I'm pretty disappointed by how this video is comparing South Koreans to the Americans/UK/EU. Aren't we talking about S.Korea? Not America/EU/UK very Western minded indeed.
Nope Potato Do you really care?
This video is made by Americans with a mostly American audience. By comparing it, it makes it easier for Americans to understand and digest the information. It’s not Americans being superior or self centered or something, it’s literally just making the video more understandable.
I like this video very much ua-cam.com/video/QRYYEHYa5Ac/v-deo.html
I was thinking the same it didn’t feel like we were talking about SK .
Because It's a western video made in English for English speaking audiences more familiar with hollywood and their own, western culture
Why is Ellkie in the thumbnail??!??😂😂
She is not even Korean
Hamba Hongseok fucking clickbaits
lol I thought I was the only one who noticed
that’s what I said sjsjsjs
i waS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT AHAHA
CLC Fans UNITE! LOL
I am new to cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, but I am very interested and curious to start investing in it, although I do feel this is kind of late now. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
Investing in Bitcoin is the number one thing one should be doing right now, although there are lots of risks the best way to invest is through cryptocurrency and Forex.
There are also organizations that help maintain your interest and protect you from the unnecessary risk which you can't predict on your own.
💯Legit
@Noemie Lemasson Everybody has been talking about (Richard A. Blair Fx) so I'm not surprise you mentioned him again is this his contact
I really need to write him
I don't like how BTS was portrayed as spoiled kids that had it all from the get go. They worked hard and didn't even have money to eat sometimes so please don't show them as if they had super easy and were just spolied brats cause is not the case.
I mean, it isn't like North Korea so it isn't much of a secret
Right? I misread the title, I thought it was "The Rich Kids of North Korera". That would have been way more interesting!
They already covered rich kids of North Korea
Imagine watching watch NK v SK in a boxing match. NK would win that straight away.
North Korean has a strong military, they made it their mission to stay focused on the military. Meanwhile South Korea sits on their arses watching generic KPOP and dramas. I think I know who will win.
hey i'd love a Korean pen pal you should message me @rachael cho facebook.com/mikesleet :)
'Rich Kids of South Korea' thumbnail has Elkie of CLC who isn't even Korean... not to mention CLC is a group sadly far, far, from wealthy.
+hmmm mnm Sorn is, but not really sure with Elkie as it may had looked like she is even she use to be a child actress and stuff, it's still kind of ironic of how the Talko is fucked up about trying to get more attention with their thumbnails with BTS especially. As well as this, using Elkie in which she isn't even south korean lol
PRISTIN - BESTie - KNK hahahahah your actual so true and so funny
hahahaha
I've been going to SK for many years and I've seen how the rich live. I only wish that they would hold on to their culture and not try to adapt the western look. They have so much culture that they can teach the west. Their look is unique.they should embrace it rather than have surgery to eradicate it. Don't let the west dictate the definition of beauty.Asians are beautiful just the Universe created them.I love SK and its people. This message is directed to my dear friend who lives in Gangnam.
'Elkie isn't Korean' is true
Sorn is far from wealthy? LOL If you know how famous her family is in thailand, you wouldn't said that.
um okay but excuse me....bts were all poor except jin...
exactly
And RM . jin and rm worked hard and they didn't use their connection to be famous and jin even keep his private life "private"
not poor but definitely not millionaires. but all kpop idols probably come from “well off” family’s since it’s hard to become a trainee without money.
lol you keep showing pics of bangtan like.. just to clear things up..
They are not born into fame or wealth. Everything they have now, they started from the bottom and worked their way up.
do armys have to say it everywhere that bts worked hard for what they have ? like yes they did work hard everyone knows that, every kpop group ever works hard, why are yall so triggered about literally two pics
they used gg's pics to talk about sooyoung alone
and bts have two members
born in 'rich' families
just calm down..
Did the video ever say bts was born into fame? Your stupid lol
I am also an army. But why always get annoyed by little things and say they worked hard.. They worked hard just like every people, every kpop idols and all. Stop exaggerating
the girl on the thumbnail is from hong kong lmao she's just in a kpop group
evelyn hi ikr I saw that and I cringed
lol
Which kpop band ?
clc
I'm sure hk's wealth added tgt might actually top the richest city charts lol
This is a pretty biased and westernized view of Korea...
한사람 Lucas The Human it's just a basic generalized view. Also, it's supposed to be about the rich, not the country.
Still, I live in Korea right now, and I can say there are some things I cannot agree with, even just in general...
Like what @Lucas
What do you mean?
I can imagine that
As a 16 years old student who live in Gangnam, I agree that most of the children who lives in gangnam are privileged but it is not always true that the schools in Gangnam have the best facilities. Since Gangnam has fewer kids than other region of Seoul, the schools in Gangnam actually get less support from the government. For my school, the schoolyards are even smaller than the school building. Moreover, the land-price in Gangnam is super high, so the actual number of school in Gangnam is very few, and the building is quite small. However, the kids in Gangnam gets private education in a place called "Hagwon". Those place basically take kids ever evening (afterschool), usually from 5pm to 10pm or more, for just teaching them (with massive homeworks). So, some elite Gangnam kids finish the whole high school course in age of 15-16, and some of my friends actually do. That's how the 'high-class' Korean education works... I just wrote this comment after looking this video, finding out some errors. It was definitely not in purposed to make a excuse for postponing my homework lol
I love korean culture. I wanted to go to Korea
😊 tysm
Question: What is the monthly cost of these Hagwons of Gangham?
Oh, you rich kid!
You guys are the new MTV of UA-cam. You flourish on gossip, slander, and misinformation.
That moment when the girl on the thumbnail is from Hongkong
신수지 and the other is from Thai😂
I cringe every time “Gangnam” is pronounced wrong. Thats a lot of cringing
She spelled ramen as rayman/raymern
pronounced*
Zia Ishihara fucking same
As a Korean this whole video is cringe
AnimeApples In korea its called ramyun
BTS worked their way up into the industry. None of them ever used money; all they used were their talents. Please take down this video. It's very rude, not only to BTS, but to all the incorrectly portrayed people.
Calm down Lei, 3/4th of the people watching this video don't know them or don't care. Focus on your homework.
They just put their pics up to gain more view since bts is famous now.
biggie cheese I guess you didnt watch ellen's show,jimmy kimmel's late night show,billboard,and American Music Award last year?Oh and 3 of BTS members also got into top 100 top faces in 2017 :)
biggie cheese you can search up BTS mvs in yt now actually.BTS has a lot of different genre in their songs and some of their songs are about real life problems.If you are not a kpop person it might be dificult to listen to songs in korean language but on every BTS mvs they provide english subtitles for us international listeners.You can go search them up if your interested ;)
#ARMYpromotingBTS
LmaoXD
biggie cheese ikr?LOL.Well I guess my job here is done XD *peace out*
I'm Italian living & working in Singapore, if I were a filthy rich kid I would own a spa with handsome male masseur therapists to pamper me. We can't bring money in the next world, but we certainly need it in this one. Whoever says money can't buy happiness doesn't have it or has no imagination
bts= "rich kids" of sk??
tell them that back in 2013 smh
sugaboy a lot of them came from rich families
thats false
That´s just plain wrong. Non of them did.
EmeraldVie isn't Jin's dad a CEO?
Yeah Jin's dad is a CEO.
I think Jungkook also came from a well off family since he could afford idol school. But other sources say his parents were always working to afford that.
Jimin's family owns a cafe in Busan so they also have money. Namjoon, his father works for one of the largest conglomerate companies in South Korea. His mother is a realtor. Hoseok's father is a teacher.
Tae's family was poor until he became famous. He mentioned this on a talks how once.
Dude if i were a rich kid, i would own a cafe not a cup of coffee
I like this video very much ua-cam.com/video/QRYYEHYa5Ac/v-deo.html
these pictures used in this video are in no way reflective of how the actual wealthy areas and ppl look. Even regular, everday koreans dress super nice every where they go. The videos and pictures in this vid make korea look like a poor country i swear. It looks nothing like that. and if you're gonna talk about gangnam and show a picture of some dirty looking crowded marketplace, like did you even try googling what the rich areas of gangnam look like? its insane. all the content in this vid looks like theyre from 2006
I absolutely hate how they keep using BTS pictures when they are talking about rich born kids.... 🤨do they know about Suga’s past? 🤨 besides that .... good video
SAME
It's not a good video, they did not do their research properly and there are tonnes of false information. There is also an undertone that shames people getting plastic surgery.
Ikr, and most of them came from middle class to poor families
Armyyyyy where are you at ?😂❤️🔥❤️❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️❤️😂❤️❤️❤️😂❤️😂🔥😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️
Kpop Family I’m not here
taehyungs cows 😂😂😂
Kpop Family Wonder why TheTalko pinned this comment hahaha They are obsessed with BTS and ARMY. Dont blame though ✌
Kpop Family right HERE
ARMY
Am I the only one who was super bothered with the fact that they implied that BTS' members were born into wealth? I wouldn't mind it if they were actually rich kids, but that's straight up inaccurate. But since TheTalko pinned an army´s comment they may have added them to the video simply to catch our attention and urge us to comment...
Im bothered too ugh.
Luciana Me too, I was jungshooked when BTS appeared.
I like this video very much ua-cam.com/video/QRYYEHYa5Ac/v-deo.html
I was just about leave a comment like this. Omg i was bothered too!Bangtan does not belong in this video. Yes, Jin is the son of CEO but he never bragged about it even once. He struggle with Big Hit and Bangtan together when they still a small group and a small company.
Who is BTS?? Who cares?
My cervix started to burn watching this. I'm american and even i know this is extremely off.
Ahgase x Army V lmao this comment made my day
Ahgase x Army V ikr the person in the thumbnail isn't even Korean and BTS is rich now but they definitely did not start out that way
Ahgase x Army V also I'm stealing "my cervix started to burn" 😂
I wanted to stop watching almost immediately. But I held on to see how many mistakes they just let loose with. Pronunciation was abhorrent, "facts" were not actually facts, and pictures WERE NOT RELEVANT for the majority of the video. For the love of all things good in this world, PLEASE do some research and get your sh*t together before posting this steaming pile of inaccuracies. The rest of the world already thinks horribly of us (for the most part).
they absolutely butchered the pronunciation... i know she's clearly not a native korean, but really, she sounded pained pronouncing their names omfg
Nah, I think you're good. I don't think I've ever heard someone speak badly about (S)Korea. We do speak badly about (N)Korea tho..😬😂😅 I actually really want to go to Korea. It seems like such a fun place to visit/live. Would you mind telling me about it?😃😂😍😅🤓
Liza Lindsay Wait.. I just realized that you weren't talking about Korea being thought of horribly..😶😂😬 I'm an idiot😑🙃😂 My excuse is that I'm tired..😬😪😴😂
BTS members werent from wealthy families !!! they came from middle class or poor family but worked super hard to accomplish where they are!!! please research more instead of just googling and stealing pictures of kpop singers!
The singers have to work their ass off and starve to death in order to succeed but you managed to make it seem like if they're from a rich family, they don't lift a finger...
Bahaar Meaning Spring some of them are, not all but some. They just make up facts tbh look at the thumbnail lol
I really don't know any kpop idol who hasn't tried hard to get where they are today. Do you know any?
Yeah. they're made-up.
Bahaar Meaning Spring never said there was..there are plenty of Kpop idols that are rich. And like I said the facts are made up...
Bahaar Meaning Spring and sunny from SNSD got her spot pretty easily due to her being Soo Mans niece. She obviously earned where she is now but her talents weren’t displayed as much as the others girls in the begging of their career
MJ exactly :)
lol why used BTS picture when your narration is about connection :'D not a single member had a "connection"
i dont know whats worse: her pronouncing gangnam as gangam or hyundae as hiunday ... like these should be advertised enough to be pronounced right but whatever
2000 won raymen hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
She called ramen (ray-men) *shivers*
Its Hongdae not hyundae nor hiunday lmfao
cgv tae It's Hyundai. They were talking about the car brand :').
@@g.5558 I really think it's just we're your from how you say it, as in, English say it differently to Americans and Americans pronounce it differently to Koreans. It's just an accent thing.
did she just say “ray-man”.... I let her Caucasian pronunciation of “Gangam” slide but ramen? Girl..
Ari why dont you just take race and put it in a place where it doesnt belong. Oh you did, thanks.
Craig X pretty dumbass choice of insult considering I'm a woman, and wtf does someone's junk have to do with a dumbass that thinks their country is the best, like I'm guessing you do.
Oh come on everyone pronounces words from other languages based on the way their native langauge pronounces things, it has nothing to do with race and just to top it off, if you speak English, I bet you don't pronounce Mexico the way you're supposed too or any other country or word from a different language
Ari, lmao. Ramen is also an incorrect pronounciation. It sounds more like ramyun 😂
Ramyun is Korean. Ramen is Japanese. Rayman is stupid and ignorant.
Thats Elkie from CLC
GO LISTEN TO THEIR MUSIC LITTLE BEANSSS
Sofía omg I love CLC's choreo MV for I Like It
YESS EVERYONE PLZ LISTEN TO CLC!!!
Yasssss they’re my ubg
Sofía i was sooo happy to see clc on the thumbnail
Sofía she's not even korean. 😂
we just gonna ignore the fact they put a chinese as a thumbnail lmao
you disgrace, you never call hong Kong china
I am a simple person. I see Elkie, I click.
In Gangnam, all areas near Han River, Dogok, Apgujeong, Nonhyun, and Samsung-dong are affluent neighborhoods. In Gangbuk, all areas near the Han River, Hanam-dong, Parts of Yongsan, Pyeongchang-dong, and Seongbuk-dong are affluent neighborhoods. Basically the new rich are in Gingham and the old rich are in Gangbuk.
실버블렛 omg I was wondering if I needed to write that... Gangnam is just for the people who want to flash their money and entertainment... The REAL rich people and mansions are all north of Han River, in Dongdaemun or higher... But yeah, I guess they don't care about accurate info...
@@HanGangSiyin are you rich?
@@twincherry4958 no, but I've lived long enough in Korea and know enough people to tell you that the "old money" people do not live in Gangnam. For them Gangnam is more of a real estate investment area, not somewhere to live.
@@HanGangSiyin Ok
Am i the only one who thinks that the Talko is using a bunch of vids on Korea to gain more views??
Rachel Kwon
How?
So, Korea has been gaining popularity with K-pop and K-Dramas lately. And recently, a K-pop group by the name of BTS has taken the world by storm, and now are doing talk shows and appearances in America. Not only that, but the whole North Korea situation has always been a hot topic when it came to politics and current events. Due to this, The Talko has been releasing more videos about Korea to gain views. In the past 2 weeks, The Talko has released 5 videos about Korea. Including a video with the title, "This Is Why K-Pop Is So Popular" and another one called, "BTS Members Reimagined As CARTOON CHARACTERS"
Rachel Kwon
Oh lol.
When all of the people in your thumbnail about Korean people aren't even Korean. What kind of research goes into these videos?
Why BTS? Like when they debuted, not a lot of people acknowledged them and there were even times that they couldnt eat. They worked so hard to get to the top so now they live luxuriously but they were *not* so rich before. Smh
Actually Jin come from a rich family ..
No one said bts don’t have to work hard. So annoying, seriously! They put a few bts pics in and suddenly everyone is mad. They used GG pictures but no one is complaining. No one said they were born in fame so don’t be stupid. Everyone knows they had to work hard. Every kpop idol has to work hard bts are not some minority.
Elkie from CLC is in the thumbnail lol, at least CLC is getting some type of exposure internationally.
They deserve more
Cries
yeah i'm just disappointed that her face is being used as a "rich kids" stereotypical face
doesnt found them..
And she’s Chinese lol.
“Raymen” and “hi-yunday”.....
Maria Gutierrez although Japan and Western countries pronounce and romanize it as Ramen. In South Korea they pronounce it 라면 or lamyeon. Not a lot of R in Hangul. It's pronounce hyun-dai not hun-dai
“keemchi” “Gengam”
이슬아 kimchi
Sons of Angkor You are wrong. Ramyeon is pronounced Ramyun and Hyundai is pronounced Hyun-dē
a n g e l ᄎ well the way pronounce with my own mouth is different than the way I type. I think pronouncing while reading Latin characters confuses everyone because it's not the exact script. Forgive me too, I'm still learning many languages so it's all twisted. Thanks for the input
"Ray-men"
"Hai-yun-day"
Agne B. "Gayng-um"
"Rah-men" even worse caveman speak
Choi Sooyoung was in the entertainment industry from a young age as Route 0. She had the most experience out of everyone on the group when they started
Even if those children were born rich they still had to put a lot of effort to become idols, bcs even if you are rich you have to have talent or if you have talent, you have to polish it and make it your trade weapon. All of those idols had to work hard on those dance moves, singins etc. So i got a little pissed when she mentioned Girls Generation.
Asobimo tbh she has no idea about korea. She doesn’t know anything and goes off stereotypes lol.
I used to live in Gangnam, pointing out everything wrong with this video would take me longer than it apparently took The Talko to make this video.
Rich kids from South Korea 🇰🇷
Bruce Wayne:I have a butler.
GANGnam. GANGnam. I die a little every time she says that 😂 I'm Korean American and I just can't lmao
Ooh the way she pronounced ramen oh god
Once Upon A Blink blink and once queens (ik it has nothing to do with the video)
"Ray-men" cringe.....
As a korean there were many points that didn't really make sense or was true but ok😂😂
My dad is half Korean and halfJapanese. I lived in Korea for six years. Some of the things mentioned were actually not real. I agree with you.
Like what exactly ?
Exactly. I was just thinking of the data I wasted watching this.
Can u guys fucking tell what is different then?
hanny do you like kim jong un?
Why the hell bts is in this vid? They used their pure talent to get where they are right now which they very much deserve.
Wow this is so accurate! Nice job
doesn't make sense to show BTS while talking of rich kids and connections. They literally had nothing and started withe a bankrupt company.
Being a Non Korean that lives in Korea, this video made me mad and sad. Also please STOP butchering the language.
Why are you putting bts in the video? They weren't born rich (except Jin) and struggled a lot to become famous~
I always was curious how life would be like for a rich person . Not in general but specific details . Your videos do provide me with an insight and a sort of content . Its just amazing how different worlds could be for different people from different countries and different financial backgrounds .
why's elkie in the thumbnail? She's from Hongkong btw 😂
CHECK OUT CLC THEY ARE REALLY GOOD💕
#CHESHIRE Where are you? 어디야?
I’M CHESHIRE!!!!
(Seunghee biased!)
_tae'sdoublechim _ Omg!!! My bias is eunbin!
Sorn!
HELLO IM YEEUN BIASED
Yeah i'm here for elkie 😂😂😂
But BTS were not born rich. Jin is the only one born rich, but the others really had to work from the bottom to make it in the industry.
BornToSlay yeah, all of them really had to work hard, but what I meant to say was that he still wasn't like Suga who really had nothing to begin with. Still, Jin didn't use his money to get to where he is now. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
BornToSlay he's not underrated lol, he's the least talented of the group, may not have used his money once he was in the group but he definitely used it to get in
Jeremy w WOWOWOWO STOP YOUR TRAIN RIGHT THERE DEAR. JIN IS TALENTED AND UNDERRATED MAYBE HE CAN'T DANCE THAT GOOD AND MESSED UP A LITTLE BIT WITH THE CHOREOS BUT HE TRY IT REALLY HARD AND WORK HARD LIKE THE OTHER ONES
Jeremy w excuse me? He literally kept his richness a secret because he didnt want people to think that he got in because he was rich, and it's only been revealed recently. He actually DECIDED that he didn't want to use his money when he was a trainee because he didn't want the other members to feel bad. And yet people like you still spew things out of their mouth when they haven't even done their research smh
Isn't namjoon born quite well off too? I mean he studied in new zealand before
Using pictures of bangtan where 5/7 of the members weren't well off and struggled is such a dick move. Plus, if anyone thinks becoming an idol is just a phonecall away, you're greatly mistaken because no matter your monetary background, you need to train and basically get from 2-4 hours of sleep in a day and spend thr other 20 working your ass off. I usually like videos from this channel when i come across them but this is just so terribly generalised.
They never said BTS where rich there just using random pictures
Yeah. Every people have this struggles in their life. Please stop it🤦♀️
why is elkie the thumbnail im cryingfj LMAO
Lol I clicked the video because of Elkie’s visuals actually XD SHES A GODDESSS Also, ironically she isn't even Korean but a Hong Konger lmao
can't argue with facts
I like this video very much ua-cam.com/video/QRYYEHYa5Ac/v-deo.html
I see CLC's Sorn I click, easy
Lmao I thought that was Heejin of LOONA in the thumbnail. Elkie from CLC, right? Is she not from Hong Kong?
???
I thought it was Irene from Red Velvet.
Iris No it's totally not, it's totally Elkie a hong Kong member of CLC who wasn't even South Korean
this was very informative! funny how many people thinks k-pop stars get paid lololololol
In simpler words: Walk around South Korea with Starbucks in your hands is equals to: you’re goddamn rich! 😂 Heck even in the Philippines, people like to stereotype people who can afford STARBUCKS what is wrong in the world? 😂😂😂
I can buy starbucks and I'm broke af
But tbh Starbucks is expensive 😂
Actually no one in Korea will think you are rich for drinking Starbucks. This channel don’t have a clue what they are talking about. They must have misinterpreted news columns about how many teens prefer Starbucks over indi coffee shops because of brand recognition.
Taehyung Kim SAME SAME! 😂😂😂
Lucia Song Fact! 😂
Just a american trying to show how "good" America is
OK america isn't that good tbh
Sit down, we aren't that great.
HAHAHAHHAHAH
Pocket full of infires 2.0 that's why they said "good"
Amaya & Sophia I wasn't responding to the original post
This comment section taught my history knowledge more than Mr. Flord did. Speaking of Korea, my family has a weird story that relates to this, here I go, my father and mother are both half-half. My dad being half Korean and half Japanese and my mom being half Filipino and half French I can kinda relate. I lived and studied in Korea. For the three years that I was there some things said were irrelevant or untrue. But, eh, it was really fun knowing that this is what they think or know about Korea.
This Filipino and French fetish still going strong 😂😂😂
This is so inaccurate, I was side-eyeing the whole time. I hope, at least, she could pronounce common Korean words well. Even her "ramen" pronunciation is wrong. Gosh!
Elkie on the thumbnail like😍
Yaaas!
I am South Korean international student in US and this video is partly true but mostly not true. By the way I am from Seoul and my district is famous for private educational institutions.
i dont like coffee, give me my expensive ice tea.
But Elkie's from Hong Kong ??
- 하리링- they don't talk about her in the video
why’d they show bts though they weren’t rich
Gayng-num?? Hi-yun-day?? Cmon narrator...
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
The talko: show Elkie who is from Hong Kong in the thumbnail
FACT...
South Korea's population is less than Half of Japan's.
BUT
South Korea has more Billionaires(38) than Japan(33)
I GOT IT FROM MY DADDY
