I don't know what was wrong with our camera this day, but it just couldn't stay in focus! Sorry about that.

This is a outta context question, but where did you get that guitar stand? I wanna buy that cause I own 4 Guitars.. Lol
Original logic is, egg is something that could have had a life so they are categorized into non-veg... But then it's all depends on people and why they are vegetarians... For me it's a cultural thing... Also the imitation started for newer generation to get an incentive to stay vegetarian.😉
DKDKTV it depends on the people yes for the "its tastes like meat". Personnaly i dont eat things with the meat taste bc its disgust me. I like meat but my brain remembers that its a dead animal so it transform the taste in a disgusting thing. Its like if you eat something, enjoy it and after we tell you its human meat, you will automatically vomit because your brain knows its bad.
I'm vegan and it's not even fun how often i hear this 6:03
Most vegans and vegetarians don't go vegan or vegetarian because they think meat is disgusting.
Most people change their diet for ethical, environmental or health reasons...
They like the taste they just don't like what had to happen to get it on their plate
Hope i could clear that up ^^
greetings from the Netherlands :)
Of for religious reasons
A lot of people that were raised as vegetarian (e.g. Hindus who make up a significant % of the south asian population) are genuinely disgusted by the concept of eating meat because that's just how they have been raised and not due to 'ethical' reasons that they became aware of later in life. Because they are not brought up with it, they never develop a taste for meat and some are genuinely disgusted by the taste and texture.
I'm just saying that it's not always about upholding ethics/morals/health, some people are just brought up that way and that should be respected too.
Nah....i dont eat meat because i find it disgusting
...
@@kirampd4545 yeah but the reason that vegetarianism evolved in the Indian subcontinent is due to moral, health and ethical reasons which are discussed and debated in Hindu ,Buddhist , Jain philosophy which shaped the traditions and attitude's of people in the subcontinent even leading to one of the earliest environmentalist and animal protection movements with examples of that such as bishnoi community. the core of it is not disgust towards meat but but living in a way that causes least harm to the living and non violence specially when you have the choice to with varying ethical and spiritual arguments(as in Hinduism and Jainism plants and animals too are deemed to have consciousness coming under the same atman brahman notion) made preferring a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle in knowledge systems like Ayurveda or various other philosophical and lifestyle texts so there are various reasonings that shaped the culture but of course born vegetarians are more accustomed to vegetarian food and may not like non vegetarian food just as born non vegetarians are more accustomed to non vegetarian food its not like one is natural and other is a choice carnism is a choice and ideology too just like veganism, its just that its the majority.
Same... Sometimes even for religious reasons.... Like come on I really wanna eat something non veg but I can't 😂
I personally have never felt the urge to eat meat. I have been vegetarian since birth. The fake meat might be more for people who have not been vegetarian for long and might want the experience of eating meat they lost...
When people ask me why I am vegetarian my answer is “I always have been and I don’t feel the need or the urge to change”
Yeah it kinda feels like these non nicotine cigarettes people smoke when they try to quit smoking lol
DKDKTV lol 🤣
I feel the same way. I've been a vegetarian since birth as well and personally don't like the whole vegan/vegetarian chicken, steak, etc. If it looks or smells like meat, I'm staying away from it. I guess I'm just kind of paranoid that it might actually be meat.
Yesss especially since I'm Indian and I never felt the need to have meat because alot of Indian food is vegetarian
yesss. i am the same, i hate imitation meat... but i get it for ppl who actually do like meat, but just don't want to hurt the environment/animals. if it tastes the same and can save someones life why not?
Well in a majority non vegeterian country... The restaraunt try to make food similar to what non vegeterian eat.... I am an Indian vegeterian... And I assure you... You get countless dishes in our cuisines that have nothing to do with meat nor are they imitating any meat
Indian vegetarian cooking is superior.. we dont compromise on taste and neither do we use imitation meat
Thank god I am Indian becuz it's easy to be vegetarians here
Jagriti Pandey yes I am agree with you.
Jagriti Pandey exactly there are so many vegetarians in india aur main toh waise bhi jain hu toh main toh egg , pyaaz aur lehsun bhi nhi khaa sakti
Indian vegetarian cooking is way above average... majority parts of the world don't utilize veggies and lentils like that way we do... Because Indian food doesnt lack in taste whatesoever
@@anshitajain7729 me 2 ....I'm totally vegetarian.....I'm vaishnav...devotee of lord Krishna.....Kitna Accha hota h hmara Khana yaaar.....mujhe bhut Bura lgta h ab so called Hindus khud ko bdlte h ..or meat khate h...it's bad Yaar.....
And the Sikhs in punjab
Awesome video! As an Indian vegetarian this is useful af
Same and good to know that i may survive if i go to korea...
because no one quits eating meat cus they don't like the taste of it, they quit because of the repercussions of eating meat. Having the options of meat alternatives makes the choice of being more eco-friendly, cruelty-free and healthier much easier as it helps with cravings. eating more plant based is a lot harder for most people cus they are having to change their entire diet esp if they were eating meat focused meals most of the time. so i feel like people who mock why vegans/vegetarians eat mock meat is odd considering the value behind eating a meat free diet doesn't suddenly disappear because your food looks/tastes like meat.. it's being realistic and helpful for those that struggle.
Maybe their imitating meat for the people who are meat eaters before but want to switch to become a vegetarian. Because it really is a big change for them. So they will not miss the taste of meat. 😊😊😊
I can see there would be a big market for that. Maybe we should've tried some more 'genuine' veggie dishes.
DKDKTV yeah, you're right! 😊
This is why I love DKDKTV content you guys always come up with great videos that challenge you to something new, now I wanna go try some vegetarian food. Also, thanks for the fun facts in the beginning, I had no ideaaa, great video
I grew up with both of my parents eating vegetarian, however, my brother and I were not forced to eat vegetarian therefore when we head to vegetarian restaurants our parents will order the fake meat for us. I think that fake meat is also a way to introduce to a meat eater that vegetarian does not only consist of only just veggies.
I agree. It sounds more interesting than just vegetables lol
Also, I think the point of creating "Fake Meats" for vegetarians is that so much of the world eats meat, we're trying to make something similar i guess to not feel left out or to try and experience something like what everyone else does but still staying true to our intentions as vegetarians! (Sorry for commenting twice)
*I'm vegan* 💓 I've heard is really hard to find food in South Korea, but Koreans actually eat a lot of Tofu? So that's a good start.
Vegan meat exists btw, it's soya
Also not all people goes vegetarian/vegan for animals.
Also for health reasons» reduces probabilities to have a TON of diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases» your coresterol will reduce. Also you'll lose a lot of weight.
And for environmental issues: you know, meat industry is killing the planet, producing more contamination than the whole transportation system. Yes.
So not all people leave meat for animals, meat imitation is for people who still wants to keep eating 'hotdogs' 'hamburgers' etc.. But avoiding those critic points :::)))
Yes we eat tofu a lot, but never just tofu haha
i'm a vegan too!! i really want to visit South Korea but one thing that stops me is my worry about Food :(
They eat tofu together with a meat based or fish based broth usually
I've been vegan for 3 years and I still eat imitation meat. Since I grew up eating meat, I know that meat tastes good. I don't want to eat meat because I disagree with the factory farming. If I can eat something that tastes exactly like meat (which tastes good), but doesn't harm any animals, why wouldn't I? Love this video though, glad you gave it a try! I'm pretty sure Megan Bowen is vegan in Korea so I guess it's completely possible!
EXACTLY
I always adore vegan and vegetarian because of their dedication to stay strict with their diet
Putri SN I’m vegetarian but I find it really easy to not eat any meat (and fish) because I’ve never really liked it, so I find it easy to avoid it. But it depends on the person if they like meat
@@emma-kc2ik I appreciate u
Well... when your health is on the line or your morals you will stick to your commitment. Don't get it twisted we fail.
Hey guys! A couple of points to help you out!
With regards to the logic behind vegetarianism and "fake meat", it very much depends on the vegetarian and their reasons for eating that way. Many actually like meat but choose vegetarianism for animals or for the environment. I personally do not like red meat anyway but I do like chicken so I love eating fake chicken haha. I have many vegetarian friends, (I am a pescetarian) some HATE fake meat. Some love it, some (including me) and will eat fake meat for variety, to make certain dishes (like hot dogs) and to get a bit of extra protein. I imagine the place you went to had lots of fake meat for Korean-born vegetarians who are taking their meat-eating friends along. Where I live (in England) there is a HUGE vegan/vegetarian population so vegetarian restaurants have little or no fake meat. Whereas in Berlin, Germany there is a huge vegan/vegetarain boom happening there which has a lot of fake meat but it makes sense in a country with such a large meat culture. If you do this challenge again I recommend visiting an Indian vegetarian restaurant as they have a long tradition of vegetarian cuisine (with no fake meat).
A note on sausages/hotdogs - actually meat sausages , especially hotdogs tend to traditionally (this is the case in England anyway) have a lot of "filler"-like herbs, wheat, oats and onions, so vegetarian sausages often taste remarkably like meat ones.
Here are some definitions to help out!
Vegetarian: Eats NO meat/fish but does eat animal by-product (dairy, eggs, honey, etc)
Vegan: Eats no meat, fish or animal by-products (and most will not wear leather or even wool clothing/accessories)
Pescetarian: A vegetarian who eats fish and other seafood
Pollotarian: Someone who does not eat red meat or fish but will eat chicken and even turkey
Pollo-Pescetarian: Someone who does not eat red meat but does eat chicken and seafood
Flexitarian: Someone who is ethically conscious but will "flex" their eating habits, so if they went to South Korea they may eat meat or fish if they get desperate but when they are cooking at home they may eat little or no meat or fish as it is better for their health and/or the environment.
Thank you for making this video, maybe you could try out "no meat mondays" :) xxx
This was such an awesome video! I've been Vegetarian since I was born and I really want to study abroad in Korea but the food is really intimidating to me... I'm trying to best prepare myself for the culture shock but I think it'll be worth it. Thanks Danny!!
I always admire that you challenge yourself. My question is how hard is it to stay away from meat in broths? That seems like it'd be the trickiest part about going to a no vegetarian place because there are a lot of foods that use animal parts but aren't actually meat.
I wouldn't say I'm a full time vegetarian but I go months without eating meat just because it's cheaper for me plus there's also a lot of non meat options available where I live too
I'd stay away from broths if you're eating vegetarian in Korea. Most Korean restaurants serve food with some kind of broth, and it's most likely made from animal parts.
You can eat egg as a vegetarian don’t worry 😊
It’s vegans that don’t eat egg(or any animal products)
I think the imitation meat is aimed at ‘converted’ vegetarians(people who haven’t been vegetarian long) because, as a vegetarian since age 3 or 4, I have never had any desire to eat meat. The idea actually kind of disgusts me😂
depends on each person. Coming from a majority vegetarian country, vegetarians that eat eggs are often called eggitarian. And most restaurants here are labeled Pure-Vegetarian meaning that they don't serve any animal derived stuff apart from dairy
Most vegetarians don't eat egg tho.
Kitta12320 yes they do vegetarians are still aloud to eat things from animals just not the animals themselves stuff like dairy and etc are okay to eat only vegans don’t eat those so what you said is false I’ve been a vegetarian since I was 9 and I would know
@@jya7284 yah we get you .. but where i am from (india) egg is considered as nonveg .. so people who are vegetarian dont eat egg ( egg is vegetarian but its a common notion that egg is non veg so people dont eat it)
I didn't know there's another vegetarian restaurant in Insadong that serves à la carte. I'll make sure to check it out. I myself am a part-time vegetarian. I go meatless when I feel like it. Whenever I'm Seoul, I always stop by at the Templestay Information Center for a lunch buffet. Thanks for the video.
I think this video very important for the muslims students who study in korea :)
We also are planning to do a Halal for 24 hours challenge sometime in the future!
DKDKTV well , this is amazing :) . Try syrian food is amazing kebeh taboleh yalenji ... oh GOD I’m hungry now . D:
+DKDKTV I'm a follower of all your vlogs and videos! can't wait to see you guys grow and become successful!
can you eat hallah food at any random Korean restaurant?
DKDKTV hi! I’m going to korea in August or September and being a muslim, this video helped me a little
I look forward to that halal chalenge!
I’ve been a vegetarian for almost 4 years. I used to love the taste of meat, adore it even. I went vegetarian because I believe that we are all animals and deserve to be treated the same way. What most meat eaters don’t understand is most vegetarians and vegans didn’t change their diet because they dislike the taste of meat, that’s why most of us don’t mind the meat alternatives that have been made to taste like meat because we still like the taste yet it’s a relieving feeling and thought knowing we’re not eating the flesh of our own.
That moment you swallow a 4 min add whole, just because you love this pair and you want them receive an additional penny.
Thanks so much for sparing your time :)
Legit, im actually hooked on these vlogs
i have been vegetarian for 12 years now and i eat the imitation meat as a source of protein.
Vegetarians don’t hate meat they hate the cruelty that comes with eating meat-- why should they completely change their entire lives and eat way?
What separates Vegetarians from vegans is that they eat eggs (ovo-vegetarian) and/or consume dairy (lacto-vegetarian). Vegans don't consume any animal products.
Hi guys this is YouHoo with Damon Kev and Guy at the Back! check out our new videos on Kpop, vlogs and more!
watched a few videos and then subbed! :) you guys seem fun.
You-Hoo xd
Gut at the back is my favorite 🤦
Haha this was a cool idea to do! Please try some more challenges!
I find this quite ironic because the amount of times I've walked into a vegetarian only restaurant without even realising in India is crazy! There's just so much variety of veggie food here that even as a meat eater i can go by weeks of no meat XD
Nice content Danny❤.
What a contrast 2% of population is vegetarian whereas 31% of population in India.
Someday the world will look up to Indian vegetarian cooking...
thanks for making this video! although it is a little disappointing.... i really want to visit korea, but as a canadian vegan i think it will be really hard for me to eat there lol. even though i like korean spices and vegan versions of korean dishes (soft tofu stew, kimchi, etc.). it seems like most food places in korea will include some form of meat in their dishes T_T.
If you look for the right menus it won't be difficult. But you'd likely eat the same food over and over again. Most restaurants don't serve vegetarian versions of their food.
If you're staying at a hostel or airbnb you can always just cook your own food! Also check out megan bowen, she's vegan and knows good restaurants
I’m a vegetarian hindu so my entire family for possibly 1000s of years have been strict vegetarian. So since birth I haven’t grown up eating meat in my house nor when I go out to eat at restaurants. I also am growing up in the US so sometimes there are cultural mishaps when you live in an area without many Indians. Personally, I don’t want to stay strict vegetarian and I want to try new cuisines and foods.. because as much as it is comfortable for me to be a vegetarian, it also limits how much I can try in the world. So occasionally when I go out with friends I try meat and other stuff I can’t eat with my family. Honestly regarding if I like meat, I don’t neeed it to live.. like the taste is okay but it isn’t flavorful enough for me to say I can’t live without it. People have been hyping it in front of me my whole life so I guess you can say I was pretty underwhelmed. It’s interesting that the food you were fed while raised influences your taste buds so much. Also because my family has been vegetarian for so long, many people have told me my body could react weird to the meat because I lack what’s needed for it to digest properly.. but fortunately (I personally) didn’t get any problems with the meat I’ve ate so far. It was really interesting and a slight eye opener to watch this. Seeing how things that are normal for me were completely different for you.
My goal career is to be an English teacher in Japan or South Korea but I'm vegetarian, so it's nice to see a video like this so I have some idea of how difficult it would be to keep my diet if I ended up living there
This was super cool! I'm always interested in seeing what vegetarians in different countries eat, and I thought it was very interesting to see that with a little bit of work you can be vegetarian in Korea! Thank you for doing this!
Loving the Yoo-Hoo and DKDTV interaction ✨
Also, I love the little special editing you kept doing in the middle of the video ✊
Thank you for trying! I would love to challenge you to 6 weeks or maybe a week of being vegetarian ;)
Being a vegetarian for five years now, and I eat fake meat all the time. Which I like and hate. Now I didn't stop eating meat because I dislike the taste but because of me not wanting to be part of the meat industry. Even now it's still hard sometimes but for the most part it's great. One time I ate little bite of chicken by accident and yuck so I think my taste buds have adjusted. I love vegetables and the main reason I eat the fake "meat" products is because I don't like cooking.
Anyways every time I go to a Korean restaurant i get the Kimchi Pancake & Japche w/o the beef. It's not a perfect science but is just about taking one meal at a time and I like how a whole new world opens up for you.
I don’t watch vlogs, I watch vlogs only of 1-2 people, so the fact I’m watching this means this is very interesting, and it really is, keep up the amazing job :)
The logic behind not eating eggs comes down to animal exploitation. Eating eggs can still indirectly or sometimes directly cause suffering to an animal (factory farms). I believe most vegetarians and vegans, including myself, choose not to eat any animal products to make sure we do not cause suffering or pain to animals. Also, some people do it for health reasons, as a plant-based diet can be beneficial. Thanks for reading
if im eating outside food for breakfast,lunch and dinner .. my mother would scold me hahah
I like how Danny always starts the challenges and David is the sidekick... if something at all :D
As someone who is planning and HOPING to go to Korea in the near future, this is so helpful!!!! Thank you 😊😊😊
Vegetarians can eat eggs and other dairy products as long as no meat is involved
Probably few people agree with this, but I'm a vegetarian full time, and yes, I like meat, tastes nice and from time to time when people around me eat it I see myself salivating, I can't control it. So to answer your question, personally yes, I wanna eat meat. But it doesn't play down the fact that it's animal. So meat tastes good and more often than not I'd like to eat it if it wasn't for the fact that I'd be disrespectful to my own beliefs. It's a fight of pleasure against moral values.
Annyeong haseyo.. Danny you did great work, your challenge for yourself was awesome. Now, after watching you in whole video I realize that you look handsome with your new hair cut..😘😘
I've been vegetarian for over 15 years. When you think about it most meat type products (burgers, sausage etc) are shaped and created that way from meat, and have other ingredients added which usually give it it's signature taste (like spices, sauce etc.) So why can't we use other things to create that same shape and taste without the cruelty? It sounds stupid but a pig isn't shaped like a sausage, and a cow isn't shaped like a burger. Those are just things created out of meat...
I'd love to go to Korea one day, but think i'd definitely have to do some proper food planning first!
I really loved this video! Thank you so much! When I was in South Korea I wasn't fully vegetarian yet (although I only made exceptions twice during my stay - for Korean BBQ because it was just too good!), I did struggle to find good vegetarian food. Now that I've fully cut out meat and fish products (I do eat cheese, eggs, milk and honey) I'm sure it will be even harder XD.
When I go back to South Korea, I'll definitely try to find that vegan restaurant you were talking about :) Thank you so much for this!
I think one of the reasons why vegetarians/vegans have meat substitutes is to help those who are going through the transition period. Some vegans may like the taste of meat just not the ethics behind it. What gives meat taste is seasoning so it is easy to trick yourself with mushrooms or any other meat substitutes. As a newbie vegan (1 year strong) I had to Veganize the foods that I used to love as an Omnivore. Tbh when vegan meat subs look or taste like meat it scares me. I eat mostly whole foods and rarely eat processed vegan food. Although every now and then I treat myself.
janet4125 same here! I am 2 months vegan. I really wanna visit this country but I don't think I will be able to survive because of the lack of vegan / vegetarian options.
kane you can definitely survive. I'm planning a trip. Vegan essentials: rice, beans, potatoes and cheap veggies. I know fruit is pricey in Korea.You can get veggie bibimbap minus the egg and bring your own gochugang. I found a vegan gochugang online and at a grocery store called Clark's. Follow Mommytang. Be vocal when ordering food. Download Happycow it helps find vegan/ vegetarian restaurants all over. :)
Thank you for making this video. Im going to Seoul for 10 days in october and im a vegetarian. I am so worried I will starve the whole trip but this gives me hope that i can eat well :)
fried mashed beans taste just like meat when you season them well
Why was I so engrossed by the Bruno Mars Song Count On Me, being played in the Japanese restaurant :)
I think the problem is not with the vegetarians but with that restaurant. Or probably that restaurant is for Koreans who tried to change into a vegetarian... so they're purposefully attracting them meanwhile giving a taste of meat since they're just now converting...
But I don't think a vegetarian since birth (this will apply only to certain countries or families which has some tradition of being a veg, especially highly in India) they won't expect at all for food to taste like meat..
But yeah it's so hard for vegetarians to live in Korea. So even though that restaurant meat-coated everything, it's good that you showed us so that travellers who are vegetarian will know a place to eat at least.
Plus this will be very helpful to another category of ppl like me. Ppl who'll eat Non-veg but only halal foods. I hope you'd know the meaning. Being a Muslim even though you eat non veg, you have to check everytime if it's halal. That's our rule. So for ppl like that this restaurant will be helpful. We're eating veg plus also getting a taste of meat.
(I'm an omnivore and I eat veg a lot than non veg. Cuz I'm an Indian, so vegetarian is primary here.. in our culture .. our food.. people vary. There are carnivore Indians but you can't eat non veg Alone in India .that's so difficult )
Next time try visiting the Buddhist or Hindu Temples
They have a strict diet and they mostly eat vegetarian food.
To be honest I won't even last a day eating vegetarian food lol
I'm a carnivore xd
Meat is something I'll prefer over veg mix 🤦
Personally I don't like meat because I don't have the best experience. Becoming vegan helped me have a better relationship with food. I know people become vegan/ vegetarian because they can't eat animals. I don't mind people eating meat. The slaughter houses videos people watch aren't all factories. I have been to factories, farms, and ranches that respect their animals. They make sure the animals is healthy and happy. The farmers always say to respect animals because we are taking a life. To me all food is precious. This is why we shouldn't waste food. Whether its a piece of fruit or chicken there's been money, work, and love involved. Food is food.
I've got a question for you.
Have you ever heard about a popular festival in India called Holi?
If not, I recommend you to check that and add that as a theme for your next photoshoot. I bet, it'll be colourful and dashing!
Excited to see it!
I'm watching this in august. I live in southern Arizona and i miss the cold im crying seeing them bundled up i just ㅠㅠ
As a someone who is not allowed to eat beaf and who only ever ate chicken, I wondered what I would eat if I ever got to go to Korea. Luckily there are only fish and chicken options, but since still many dishes and utensils somehow include beef or pork. I was very skeptical about a diverse diet while being in Korea. I'm very grateful you had this idea.
I am a vegetarian by choice and its been around 3 years straight .And we don't want to eat meat but our body needs to have protein and soya, mushroom etc are just alternative to protein how these things are cooked depends on restaurant and recipe.
Thanks for making this video. I am a vegetarian ( I don't eat eggs and limited dairy products) and I am I visiting Korea in the Spring. Although I do not eat imitation meat, it is good to see that there are some options.
Places like Korea, China, Japan etc will be a tough place for people who have been vegan or vegetarian since birth because they mostly don't like the taste or involvement of meat in their food at all. The ones who've recently quit maybe find it difficult to cope and find alternatives. It's almost like it's impossible to avoid interaction with meat food even if you don't have it. And cross contamination with it is unavoidable too. :/
Mechanical Parking Garages are actually a think in Korea? (10:28) What other inventions do you guys have because its crowded?
I've been vegetarian as much as possible for over 2 years (only one in my household who can't eat meat) but when I'm over at my aunts house she sometimes forces me to eat meat. She did that 2 weeks ago with a meatball of barely 1 cubic cm and I got sick. TWICE. well at least now I never have to eat meat again :)
P.s. don't force vegetarians to eat meat for whatever reason, they'd rather skip a meal then eat something with meat most of the time.
My aunt said that I called myself vegetarian didn't mean I didn't have to eat the meat she gave me.
Well thats the exact definition but she didn't care much
In spiritual vegetarianism (which we follow in India) we don't eat non-vegetarian so that animals are not hurt. As we believe that eggs are birth shells for little chickens (even though they lose the potential to give birth after being in poultry farms [Idk how to put that better]) They (The eggs) could still have been potential life, so we don't eat eggs.
@officialmer It's our faith. We don't eat eggs by choice and I don't think there is need for you to disprove our faith as it does not affect you in least bit.
I'm impressed because I thought that Korea was the less vegetarian and vegan friendly place to go. Now I feel I can visit South Korea one day!
I want to go japan or korea for my studies, I knew that its very difficult for indian veggies to indulge in non vegetarian countries and I really had question in my mind about this , thank you danny for such a informative and good video🤗
When I was in Korea, I met some vegan foreign friends. They literally could only eat the side dishes at restaurants haha
Some people use to eat meat and for reasons like health or just not wanting to actually eat an animal these replacements are better options while still tasting good and resembling the meat they use to eat but no longer can have... I honestly have no urge to eat meat anymore but if it's a challenge to find vegan and vegetarian dish or to even get a dish and say no egg no meat then I KNOW it'll be a challenge to get alkaline plant base meals that I actually eat in Korea then. 😂 Maybe I find fried oyster mushrooms when I visit Korea tho🤞🏽
Megan also filmed a video in this restaurant!!
I’ve been vegetarian my whole life because I was raised that way. I could eat meat if I wanted to, but I don’t really want to. I keep it up for health reasons, sometimes being vegan when I can resist the urge to eat cheese. As far as imitation meat goes, I like eating it because I like the taste. Some of them aren’t as good, so I just don’t eat them, but sometimes just even the texture is good to have to cook with.
Thanks for the video! Now I have an idea of what to do and where to go in Korea. That's what I've been most afraid about when I think about visiting some Asian countries. Personally, I avoid anything that smells or tastes like meat because I've been raised not eating it. I actually get nauseous just because Im not used to it at all (my body rejects it, kind of like when people start off smoking?)
In my country is not that hard find vegetarian options, the problem is the price, being vegetarian is x4 times more expensive than eat a decent portion of meat, thats the only reason why I'm not vegetarian...
#SCV Maraton 🤘
Thankyou for doing this video! I want to visit Seoul one day but I wasn't sure how I would find it because of how much South Koreans love meat, but I'm glad that there's a lot of options for vegans. Also: YES, some/most vegans like the taste of meat because we grew up eating it and only turned vegan for ethical reasons. Of course our taste buds are going to crave the texture/taste of meat every now and then, nothing wrong with that.. :P
It s very interesting im vegan since 6 months now and i would like a day travel in south korea it s a dream for me and im feel little nervous about the food because i know people in korea eat much meat im feel little nervous about that don t found food vegan for me if i come in south korea for travel.
Here comes the education segment: Vegetarians eat eggs but Vegans don't. While neither of them eat fish. If you eat fish, eggs and milk but not meat, you are considered Pescatarian. The logic behind each is what type of animals you consider don't deserve to be killed for your own pleasure, and what treatment you consider acceptable. For example, if you are Vegetarian, you disagree with animals being killed but you are okay with exploiting them for their milk and ovum. If you are Vegan you disagree with both.
비건을 존중하지만 절대 특별대우 하지 않습니다..일반식당에서 왜 비건 메뉴가 없냐고 투덜돼지 마십시요...우리는 비건을 존중은 하지만 절대 특별대우나 강요받지 않습니다.

I know someone who went to korea and she is vegetarian...she said it is next to impossible to find veg food in korea...she survived on bread for 2 days :)...also she said koreans consider some of the sea food as veg though actually it is not...is it true?
I personally hate fake meat, it usually doesn't taste like meat at all and the texture is really weird, but I love being vegan. This video was very interesting! Thank you for making it :)
Ayyyyyy I'm vegetarian 👐👐
This was so cool!!! Maybe next time you can try vegan! Thanks for sticking through it lol
danny thinking an egg is meat is the funniest thing XD
Many vegans don't eat animal products, meat, dairy etc not just because they don't agree with killing the actual animal but because of the process of obtaining eggs and milk etc and the impact that it has on the earth. The amount of methane that they produce and the amount of water that is required to keep the process going can be considered detrimental to the planet. :)
I don't know what to say, so I'll just say...Good Job, guys!
well the simple logic is you should not torture or hurt (bloodshed) a creature for your food. plant based vegan foods are not only good for your health but also if u r chopping off any veggies then u wont find them screaming with pain as they dont have that kind of nervous sensation. plant based food are not only easily digestible but also simple to cook (not as messy as flesh and blood). egg is non vegetarian if it is fertilized and has a zygote inside it and it has the life expectancy and possibility of a birth of a living creature I.e., baby chick. A hen starts laying eggs after it reaches its reproductive stage, it doesn't matter whether she mates with a male brood or not, its just like the women start menstruating after they hit their puberty. so if the egg from a bird is fertilized and u r eating it, then u r killing an animal hence its non-veg. But if the eggs are not fertilized and cannot be hatched into baby chicks in future then u can eat it as u are not killing any animal hence its vegetarian.
In countries like Canada, America, India, German etc. they have separate farm for broody hens which is totally isolated from male birds so that these female birds can lay unfertilized eggs which can be edible by vegetarians. for chicken purposes they have another section of farm where male and female both birds are kept together. i hope u understand now.
indian vegetarians do have a big variety food besides meat and meat immitations-so they kind of don t crave for meat or even never have tasted meat so they dont knw what they are really missing. I eat meat (i just dont eat mutton). So i really think it is hard to turn into vegetarian.
Come to INDIA & try different types of vegetarian recipes with different types of beans, lentils, vegetables.
I'm a Vegan and I'm planning to visit Korea but one thing that worries me is the food and the meal. I don't know if I'll survive. If you have suggestions where I can go and dine with vegetarian / vegan options please let me know!
This is crazy! And imagine someone like me, who doesn’t consider mushroom as part of the vegetarian family (a small population of vegetarians in india don’t even eat mushrooms)!! I’d not be able to eat anything there 😂😪
Good video guys 👌
Request.- A video of the night life in hongdae pls
I am in Korea right now and would like to try this restaurant in Insa-dong. What is the name of the restaurant and address (in English please)?
I'm a vegetarian and will be visiting S. Korea in September. What is the name of the restaurant you visited in Insadong call?
thnk you so much i am pure vegeterian this is v good to know vegeterians also can survive their😂😂
Thanks for being a vegetarian for a day,ik must be hard for you. Really appreciate it because I am vegetarian and I can never ever kill animals and eat. Grateful that you at least tried the food :)
It was not that hard.. you should have go Indian restaurant.. You would have get vegetarian dishes in majority.. 😂 soory for my bad English.. 😜
sheetal more absolutely
But Indian dishes are too much expensive in south korea. You can't eat it everyday.
So, basically I won't survive in Korea longer than a week. On top of that I hate mushrooms.
ooooh I loveeed!! I'm vegetarian have more than a year and it is soo good to know that I can survive in Korea hahaha everything looked so good 😋
I'm an indian vegetarian i was quite worried about this issue but now i think that i can survive and also if you can't find something outside you can just cook it.. a lot of indian recipes are vegetarian.. so it's not something impossible..
But thanx for the video
im vegan and i dont buy imitation meat... when my friend said they tasted like meat it made me feel strange so i stopped eating it
i like danny's hair
Thanks for the original video idea
Don't vegetarians eat eggs? You could've eaten the egg in the bibimbap. Vegans don't eat eggs. My friend keeps asking me to go vegan with her. It ain't happening. I told her the most I'd do is try out being vegetarian, but I like chicken and seafood so I can't go all in.
I've thought about this before. I think it's funny that so many vegetarian and vegan products, and restaurants mimic meat. If you don't eat meat, shouldn't you just make regular vegetable meals instead of trying to mimic meat? I've only actually been to one vegan restaurant (because of that same friend mentioned earlier). Their menu items imitated meat also, but I got a nice veggie wrap with mushrooms. THAT was good and it wasn't an imitation of meat.
I like how David gets a sausage after eating vegetarian food. That's so me.
I remember when Damon (or one of the other guys from the channel) was commenting/promoting on a live stream and Danny told him to stop spamming xD Now they're hanging out, lmao. I know his channel, so at the time I thought it would be funny if you guys ran into each other eventually. And no meat for 30 days is definitely too long. That's a punishment. Don't punish yourself, Danny.
Edit: Had to correct Damon's name. Thought it was David also, lol.
I didn't say it was a bad thing. I said it was funny... because it is...
Actually Damon is a friend from high school haha. So we're very close. Anyway, I was amused by the imitation meat as well, maybe would have enjoyed it more if I didn't have so much of it.
Someone in the comments mentioned that he was in some of your older videos and my reaction was like "wtf, where?!" I wondered if I saw him before and didn't recognize him. So I went to check your older videos. Turns out I didn't watch ANY of the reaction videos he's appeared in, lol.
Really? in india eggs is considered non veg as well
Ugh, that's such an ignorant and stupidly common statement that comes from meat eaters. You do realise that a lot people go vegan/vegetarian because of ethical and health reasons right? Not because we don't like the taste of meat. Personally, I went vegan after researching the treatment of animals and the impact on the environment- I ate meat for all 17 years of my life until that point because I loved the taste of it. If I didn't like meat I wouldn't have ate it before, but because I did like the taste of it that's why I still eat mock meats occasionally. I'm not going to suddenly hate the taste of meat just because I don't eat it anymore, it's like saying to an alcoholic that they're going to hate drinking alcohol after a while of not drinking- completely untrue and dumb. I grew up eating meat my whole life, my taste buds have become accustomed to the taste and texture of it, therefore I crave that substance sometimes which is why I (and many other vegan/vegetarians) eat these mock meats. So stop with your stupidity.
Egg is not technically meat, cause eggs pop out of a chicken no matter if it slept with the cock or not, you don’t need to kill chicken to get eggs too, I had chickens in my village and no any male chickens, they still gave eggs, and that’s how it happens at the factories
I am vegetarian
(Means I eat anything but Meat or seafood Not anything animal)
And I wanna move to South Korea....... oOf
