In europe , its normal eat alone. Alone doesn't mean lonely!!! , its different things. I do solo dining at anywhere, from street food to fine dining. At Asia., Europe, at middle east like Dubai. Eat with group is nice , depending group you have.. surroinding by fake friends is cruel . Better to eat alone , feel more freedom. And peace 😊
@@crystalizeplays9103 exactly, as woman, we get a lot more freedom at here to choose what we like in for our own life 😁, , you can marry or you can stay single, you can have kids or no kids, you can study or work like you want, include you can eat alone or with a group, ypur own choice . All good 😊
I’ve known a lot of people, myself included, who are out solo more during long term monogamous relationships simply because everyone has their own lives to live/different schedules…it’s preposterous to be so discriminatory over something so mundane, yet masquerade as a developed society. Literally, places in Europe, US and western nations don’t even bat an eye towards solo diners. I mean, some customers might feel insecure about solo diners but that’s always gonna be the case regardless. People feel threatened by people who are secure with doing even mundane things alone. Like…is everyone supposed to grocery shop with their beloved?? How many activities “should” we do joined at the hip with a significant other? Provincial lunacy.
I've been to South Korea for a couple of times as a solo traveller. It's hard to find restaurants where a single person can eat solo or where meal serving is good for one person. Japan is a solo travel friendly destination in terms of eating solo.
As a matter of fact, this 'solo-dining' trend is actually out of fashion nowadays in Korea. For some reason these restaurants for individuals have already closed down a LOT.
Because they lacked the brain cells to design their restaurant to accommodate solo dining on purpose (unlike Japanese or western places with bar seating) but they will use that to blame it on “it’s bad for biz that’s why we discriminate” even though other nations that don’t discriminate do just fine
@@eduardochavacanofor those who don’t have misophonia. That seems unrelated tbh but it’s interesting to note how different nations consider something asmr that others don’t lol. Mukbang just seems opportunistic on gluttonous patterns of consumptive behavior which is a norm there. It’s like the k pop of literal consumption.
Fascinating how much their culture was shaped around making sure dishes were sold for multiple people. Solo dining has been common for most places I've been to.
Long working hours in South Korea is very common, so if after near 60 - 80 hrs - or more - of work p/w, I dont think you have the energy to smile and talk. In EU we work about 35 - 40 hrs p/w and we are tired already. My sincere respect for such a hard working country like South Korea. No wonder their economy is so successful👌💪👍. I would like to travel more often to South Korea. It is money well spent
Eating is serious business - both for the body and mind - it is best to eat alone and silently. Or at least silently with only a few people around. Good for digestion and emotional well-being. Excessive human interaction is a waste of time and depletes spiritual power.

Why do you have to romanticised dining alone when food is a pretty basic human need? Maybe for reasons of practicality or convenience, people prefer to dine alone. But does it really have to be such a big deal? People have to eat. Period.
@@scienz True. Eating is a necessity. IDK why these people think that eating alone can be lonely. People die alone as well. Do they want company? Can they volunteer?
I'd eat there. I once went to an AYCE BBQ place on my own and it was awkward as hell. I wouldn't do that again, which sucks because my SO doesn't always like AYCE style of dinning.
I am unsure about this, I live in korea and live alone. I often have to choose none korea food restaurants because korean food is mostly shared stuff. It makes it sometimes difficult to find a place to eat. So, I disagree with this video.
The music at the beginning XD Korea probably in much more fruitless misery than that glittering harp portrays, though the fruit there is not too bad and fairly high in calories. I suppose I should not call the musical instrument a harp then either...

SoKo is coming around because it’s modern and shaming such a simple act seems backward and counterintuitive…if you’re gonna be discriminatory towards solo diners, how are you better than NoKo? How long is SoKo gonna have k pop acts preaching/singing/cavorting/thrusting about empowerment while their society embraces a lack of independence? Their Overton window is determined by commerce, we get it. Japan & western nations have restaurant design considering all variety of diners (solo dining usually at fast-turnaround “bar” whether you’re drinking or not; not only is a nice, extended design of a bar aesthetically pleasing but practically functional to a cutting and organizing an open space). It makes them seem out of touch to exclude solo diners atp in time, not everyone’s schedules align to eat out together. Even people in long term monogamous relationships find themselves eating out alone, no need to harshly judge people who aren’t codependent on “society.” “Time and space they require” is & always has been an excuse for their conditioning, SoKo likes to think it’s different from NoKo but the value-based habits and behavior betrays the way they wish to appear to the world.
I walk in a korea restaurant and they kick me out. They serve family and couple meal. No individual dining meal. The grill meat are best suit weekends, not everyday meal. Their meal set choice really basic (bulgologi meat) not much many choices like the Chinese stir fried dishes. Boring eating a dish every day. No stir fried noodles. Ramen 1 type soup noodles, boring if eat everyday. They also have very little rice porridge. Not like the Cantonese or hong kong style porridge or teo chew style porridge with variety dishes. At least this new restaurant is awesome for individual meal. Korean society is a city not really friendly to know new people or get to know new friends many faces loneliness. 3 months, I am there, I didn't meet new Korean friends but work the entire day and weekends alone. Often men is too realistically view female as dating terms or not, not interested in wasting their time for female friends.
Your documentaries are so top notch...sad that youtube no longer interested in lengthy content due to people's decreasing retention time
especially with youtube shorts that take the traffic.
Also, so many people are just not interested in aquiring knowledge for the sake of knowing anymore.
It would have been nice to specify the name of the solo dining place.

In Sweden it’s absolutely not normal to go out to eat alone. Only at fast food places and lunch restaurants

*Alone doesn't equal lonely.*

Really? I though with covid and all it should be rising up.
I thought mukbang videos are popular, because Koreans eat alone and feel lonely. So they watch videos while eating?

@@eduardochavacanofunny how k pop and mukbang are positively correlated timing wise too

The idea of meeting people or forming a club with members to go eating is beautiful. As long as there are no further expectations involved.
I'm in America. This has been a 'thing' for decades.
Not only south Korea. In Japan, eating out alone already became part of life
She has a youtube channel about dining alone bro thats my life 😂😂😂😂
I think solo-dining is common now-a-days.
living alone is not only experienced in Korea.. I think it is world wide phenomena.
You’re documentary subjects are fascinating 👌 Thank you 😊
I would love this in my country … 😊

I like the last girl's method of forming with other solo people to create something new!
Why is that name of the restaurant not mentioned???
It has been the norm in Japan for quite a while….😊.
Lonliness is surely the breeding ground for suicide.

It is sad to see that, how human civilisation has changed from togetherness to loneliness.
what is the place named where you can solo dine? it would be verry helpfull, Thank you x
It kinda sounds like you’re describing a lost scene from George Orwell’s 1984!

I film myself eating alone in 100 restaurants. No one else was alone. I guess I will be normal in Korea.
Must be an older documentary ….that 독고 1인 restaurant closed quite a while back
YOUR DOCUMENTARIES ARE SOOO GOOOOD
I keep my TV on as a companion 😅. They might create virtual familes in the future that would be good.😊
Plus Korean food is delicious

is it really a preference? or just a coincidence of circumstance? people gotta eat to live, can't be waiting around for someone else all the time
@@scienz True. Eating is a necessity. IDK why these people think that eating alone can be lonely. People die alone as well. Do they want company? Can they volunteer?
