lol when he was speaking korean i was like " wait what is he saying " but then the other man answered back in korean then i was like " OHHH wait he was speaknig korean?"
Exactly. I listened the whole video for a discussion in good faith about white privilege at work in Korea, and he gave it. Respect to him, respect to Solfa, and I'm kind of uncomfortable that people's takeaway from this video was the heavy Southern accent, since white Western expat entitlement in Asian countries like Korea is the elephant in the room, at least for me.
Seriously, he was the only one who didn't try to deflect and play dumb about white privilege in Korea. I don't need every video to discuss the consequences of white Western imperialism in East Asia, or the fact that the US owns military bases on sovereign Korean soil, but it's very uncomfortable to see white expats in Korea complain about minor disadvantages like "Koreans are prejudiced because they don't think a white person can truly be Korean" or "Koreans shouldn't be so racist and assume white expats are all here for sex tourism" when they enjoy massive overall benefits like favorable employment, compliments about their looks, etc.
It's very very rare. I visited Korea many times and meet ESL teachers and most are white and they usually act ignorant and just party at hong dae on the weekends.
Can you PLEASE point me in any direction on how to contact the gentleman with the heavy southern accent?! I've been looking for somebody with that accent for a long time!
Yes, that guy at the end knows what he's talking about!! White does not necessarily mean they are the best English teachers and discrimination due to skin colour is a legitimate problem in Korea. Hope to see it improve over time!
America is actually a lot more fair than Korea when it comes to job opportunities. We have so many minority lobbyists and activist groups that laws upon laws have been made stating that you can't deny someone work for race, gender, religion, etc.
I was honestly surprised by the fact that he was able to speak out about it. I alot of white people somehow feel threatened when people tell them of their privileges so I have a lot of respect for him to be able to not only admit to it but also to inform others of it.
+Rebecca R I've seen you around a few times now damn woman, you was also speaking out against the whitewashing of movies in Hollywood, yikes why are you so damn pressed when people speak out about the issues going around
As a non-American and a non-native English speaker - the bald guy is what I picture as the most American thing, heh. Not just his accent! But his sarcasm, that sarcasn right there - that's so American. And not sitcom American, but folk American. It's so awesome!
Caoimhín Ó Caoimh why on earth are you on a video about different cultures when you are so hateful and ignorant, your energy is not needed here or wanted. Yuck.
@@flowerchild8450 wtf. First of all, you do realise that word you used is highly offensive. And second of all, so what if he is gay? It's none of your business
Can't tell if dude's accent is real or fake. But as a non white American, I'm really appreciative of the words the gentleman shared at the end of the video. Thanks for that.
I'm pretty sure that's a real accent, as crazy as it may seem. I've seen 100% asian people have a similar accent, and there's that video of an asian person that spoke eubonics (african american vernacular english), so it's possible
why in the hell is no one talking bout how handsome the guy sitting next to the bald one is like damn Daniel 2:46 but that lip bite doe, he looks a lot like jaejoong
Wabbu Babbu where do i find these unicorns that like southern accents? i only throw people off and make people take a step back because im a korean with occasional twangs lol
Well, he's privileged in Korea only in the sense that blacks, for example, are privileged when applying to college/university in America thanks to affirmative action (universities in America reserve so many spots for students of varying races in order to meet diversity quotas, so races with lower average GPAs have an advantage over races with higher average GPAs in the application process). Westerners are highly prized for teaching positions in Korea ("fetishized" might honestly be a better word). I have a cousin who taught English in Korea for a couple years and he told me that Korean parents seemed to sort of lord it over other parents when their children were being taught by a Westerner, in the same sort of way Westerners will lord it over each other when they drive fancier cars. My cousin is half-Chinese, half-white too, so I don't think skin color plays as much a role in job competition than does one's place of origin and education. Whether or not that's what the guy was really getting at, I'm not sure, but that's my impression of the situation in Korea these days.

It's a different kind of "white privilege". Remember that Korea is not a European/Western nation. White males are not the majority and are often seen as outsiders in an Asian country even if they have lived there their entire life. What the man was talking about is much more similar to a Korean teacher in America. If you are female and Korean, you will have a much easier path into teaching Korean in America than a white male would. If you are Chinese then you have an easier path into teaching Chinese.

OMG i just realize that both Alex and the Black guy (sitting on the left in the first clip) were both on the variety talk show "Hello Councler" (KBS World TV)!
must... contain... the thirst.... gaaaah, can't do it, guy in the blue obey shirt is too damn handsome. I'm sorry to my boyfriend and my family, I have disgraced you all. 😭😭
김원준 This is one of the most random and funniest questions I have ever received! Hahahaha. Ummmm...I brush my teeth day and night and I dont eat much candy...anymore. Since I live in Korea, I have to use toothpaste from the US with fluoride. Flossing and mouthwash help a lot too! Anything else?! Hahaha.
@MiKole, first: compliment to you, you are a so handsome looking guy! and a burning question comes up to my mind: is it possible, that you know the other teachers show in this video? is there a chance, that you might now or request the name(or insta-name) of the very nice looking guy, next to the bald one? I´think you would release many followers here :D i hope you read it ^^
Kelly Meyer LOL! Thanks for the compliment haha. I only know my friend next to me as well as Alex and Johnny in the beginning. I don't know the bald dude or the pretty one. I'd have to ask Solfa lol.
I was actually reading the Korean subtitles for some of his parts, especially towards the end...but when I played the video one more time, I noticed I had no problem in understanding him...
No they only say "you're handsome" To white guys. I've known black people, latinos, and other darker skinned asians who have been called ugly. There's a preference for white people standards of beauty in Korea 100%
I know teachers with thick Irish, English, and Australian accents. Korean schools seem to prefer standard American, but plenty of people with other thick accents get jobs too.

I was thinking the same thing, when I first saw him I even thought he was mixed (White/Asian).
+komilatte is he not? he looks asian to me
he looks Hawaiian but his accent sounds like he is from Louisiana or new orleans

+quantumslip ......or was just probably born in the deep south.
I can't tell if the bald guy is doing that accent for show, or to mess with you, or if that is his legitimate accent.

Right
fr I'm from Texas and it didn't even sound real it was like super exaggerated
I live in Texas and was wondering the exact same thing.
I live basically in the south and that accent is very uncommon
That guy's accent gives me life. I could listen to it all day. I never expected that voice to come out of his mouth!!

I love how the guy at the end wanted to discuss his own privileges and understood what being a white male means
Same! :$
Well, he's privileged in Korea only in the sense that blacks, for example, are privileged when applying to college/university in America thanks to affirmative action (universities in America reserve so many spots for students of varying races in order to meet diversity quotas, so races with lower average GPAs have an advantage over races with higher average GPAs in the application process).
Westerners are highly prized for teaching positions in Korea ("fetishized" might honestly be a better word). I have a cousin who taught English in Korea for a couple years and he told me that Korean parents seemed to sort of lord it over other parents when their children were being taught by a Westerner, in the same sort of way Westerners will lord it over each other when they drive fancier cars. My cousin is half-Chinese, half-white too, so I don't think skin color plays as much a role in job competition than does one's place of origin and education. Whether or not that's what the guy was really getting at, I'm not sure, but that's my impression of the situation in Korea these days.
+GOffUnit even in the video he states that whites are more likely to get better job opportunities than his other foreign friends. his skin color plays a lot in how he is treated in America and east Asia. there is a privilege that comes with being a white male but if you don't see it that's fine. I appreciate your insight though :-)
Definitely!
It's a different kind of "white privilege". Remember that Korea is not a European/Western nation. White males are not the majority and are often seen as outsiders in an Asian country even if they have lived there their entire life.
What the man was talking about is much more similar to a Korean teacher in America. If you are female and Korean, you will have a much easier path into teaching Korean in America than a white male would. If you are Chinese then you have an easier path into teaching Chinese. If you are in any way Hispanic, people will expect you to be a better Spanish teacher even if you speak Portuguese. The bias is that people of the "correct" ethnicity are also expected to be well-versed in the culture associated with that ethnicity, regardless of their actual background.
There are certainly perks for being white and male, but "white privilege" isn't quite what the man at the end was talking about. In fact, he even said that being a white woman would make it even easier to land an English teaching job in Korea. This is probably due to the stereotype that women are more nurturing and thus make better teachers. The fact that any of these stereotypes exist is what the man took issue with.
This was great, I love this channel so much.
I always come back to this video just to listen to that guys accent. I love it.

Hey solfa, can you do a video with Korean girls trying to understand the bald guy?
I thought he was great but as a fellow English speaker it took me a beat for my mind to wrap itself around his accent so I could understand him.
"Losers stay at home and sit on their (sorry couldn't hear the word) and do nothing"
Oh shit dat me
LOL, i was like "Oh damn"
he said "sit on their rear end"
I guess I'm a cool loser.
LOL
I thought it was veranda lol
I just found this channel and it's making me laugh so hard, thank you. I'm definitely subscribing
Great video!!! I was laughing so hard at the guy speaking with a country accent😂😂

y'all are killing me with this video.
ikr he is so fine 😍😍😍😍
hahah don't worry you're just balancing out what your bf does when a chic with a nice ass walks past him
Uchiha Hikaku true, luckily we're both not jealous people so I'm sure he understands 😂
yea I'm a guy and I thought he was pretty handsome too...
the guy in the long grey shirt has such an infectious smile!!!
Thank you!
김원준 This is one of the most random and funniest questions I have ever received! Hahahaha. Ummmm...I brush my teeth day and night and I dont eat much candy...anymore. Since I live in Korea, I have to use toothpaste from the US with fluoride. Flossing and mouthwash help a lot too! Anything else?! Hahaha.
@MiKole, first: compliment to you, you are a so handsome looking guy!
and a burning question comes up to my mind: is it possible, that you know the other teachers show in this video? is there a chance, that you might now or request the name(or insta-name) of the very nice looking guy, next to the bald one? I´think you would release many followers here :D
i hope you read it ^^
Kelly Meyer he speaks korean so well too :00
Kelly Meyer LOL! Thanks for the compliment haha. I only know my friend next to me as well as Alex and Johnny in the beginning. I don't know the bald dude or the pretty one. I'd have to ask Solfa lol.
THE TWO GUYS IN THE NAVY BLUE DRESSING SHIRTS 😩✊ YES
대머리아저씨 두상이 ㅇ예쁘네
Lol, that bald guy cracked me up. He's like white, male version of Senny.
he's fucking hilarious. that accent is incredible
lol @ the senny comparison
who's the guy next to the bald guy?
landreahl He's the hot guy ;) (I totally SNS stalked him but some commenter told me his name, I forgot.)
Baljot Kaur well darn :(
Dude besides Saitama looks so much like Sanchez after a hair cut, damn
this comment killed me
the guy at the end is so sweet and genuine i love it
hahahaha, by far your funniest video!!
I am proud of me that I understood everything that the bold guy said. (Im from germany.)
Same 😂
me too ! 😂
well, despite the heavy accent he has good diction, speaks very clearly
I was actually reading the Korean subtitles for some of his parts, especially towards the end...but when I played the video one more time, I noticed I had no problem in understanding him...
+qwertyu It's a Tennessee accent.. I'm from Texas and I don't have a accent, but many people in Texas that do have accents don't have one that thick.
WHO IS THE HOT TEACHER WITH THE DARK BLUE OBEY SHIRT?
Xannah V I know right 👀👀👀
Xannah V he is PHWINE!! ♥️♥️
다들 너무 매력있으시네요!ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Damn the black guy on the left has an amazing smile..A++ 😍
No they only say "you're handsome" To white guys. I've known black people, latinos, and other darker skinned asians who have been called ugly.
There's a preference for white people standards of beauty in Korea 100%
truee
Not white as in the race, but white as in as pale as possible.
Jane Iglesia i don't think they actually like western beauty standards at all in korea they just like people to be very fair skinned
Jane Iglesia what a bullshit.
Jane Iglesia Korea is a disgusting country tbh
How does that guy with the super thick southern accent expect to teach anyone English that's usable outside the Southern United States?
You can teach english with an accent... lmao.
I'm pretty sure he was joking
There's no accent-free English
You can teach English with a southern accent....If you cant I am screwwewweeeddddddddddd
I know teachers with thick Irish, English, and Australian accents. Korean schools seem to prefer standard American, but plenty of people with other thick accents get jobs too.
원어민 강사 대부분이 미국,캐나다의 시골출신이 상당수임. 대부분 서민 출신이죠.취업하기 힘들어 오고 언어학 전공도 아닌데 교사로 일하죠.영어로 영어를 가르치니 개나소나 하는 직업이에요,돈도 많이벌고 일주일에 3,4회 하루 3시간만 일하면 됨.거기다가 교사증이나 학위를 위조해서 강사로 일하는 원어민들 어마어마 합니다. 그런데 한국인 특유의 서방국가 우상주위로 그들을 잘 대접해주니 자국에서 루저였던 놈들이 한국에서 일하면서 상당히 오만해지는 겨우가 10명중 8명임.한국여자 따먹었다니,5.6학년놈들은 김치냄새 난다는니, 한국을 아주 우습게 봄.오죽하면 요새 이태원.홍대에서 외국인 안받을려는 클럽들이 늘어나는지 생각해보면 됨. 아주 눈살 찌프리게 하는 언행과 행동이 가관입니다.
"안녕하세요..." "wOW YOUR KOREAN IS SO GOOD" that's so accurate 😂😂
When the bald guy was like losers stay home & sit on their rear ends and do nothing!
ME: Slowly rolls over to lay on my stomach! Yass I'm not a loser anymore! LOL 😂😂
Omfg lol
0:10 The black guy who spoke second is definitely french.

Sounds more like an Italian accent to me.
+what2143 no,its french (I'm italian and it's def not italian)
now that you said it yes he seems totally french to me and I'm french
He is Mauritian! Nice try though.
세상에....스트라이프셔츠분 넘나 멋있어 ㅠㅠㅠ
솔직히 백인 남자드은 일본, 한국, 대만에서 영어강사로 취직하기 정말 쉽지..
마지막에 말씀하신 말 진짜 공감되네요..정말 그렇게 되면 좋겠네요:)
