Great video. It’s good to know that the South Koreans don’t fear the north. And it appears that South Koreans know very little about America, just as most Americans have no idea what it is like in either North or South Korea. Thanks for showing us the other side.
Will PRC South Koreans should not fear NK but I don't think it would hurt to be slightly more cautious than usual, given the US is somewhat unpredictable now and NK has ICBMs (which makes the problem worldwide, not just in the East). Those two things are two very new--very dangerous--variables that were not an issue in the past few decades. It is rare I'd say to keep the status quo with such significant new variables. There will likely be a new equilibrium that will need to be reached.
Trump is an idiot and there's a good chance of being shot dead on the street. I think they understand the US just right.
That is because they know even if they are afraid they cant do anything about it. Might as well live with it fearlessly.
really, really? Are you that ignorant? In comparison more ppl die from accidentally hurting themselves. Stop using news as your source of opinions or knowledge.
Baepsae, you are wrong here. They were not talking about accidents. Even if it's about accidents, which kind of? Car accidents can be prevented by politics, other countries can prove this. We humans mainly act according to patterns, it's a politician's job to figure out those patterns to prevent damages.
"We're all going to die anyways" That's what I say every day! She knows how things work!😂😂😂😂
Nikol Petrova lmao love that lady.She understands me
irk that statement is literally how i live my life
That was a little extreme lol. Not everyone will just die in either country. That's not accurate at all lol. So the reasoning doesn't work.
Also to use it as a general way you live your life by is silly.. it's like saying "I might as well smoke loads of crack every day because I'm going to die anyway".. yea but you will often die a lot sooner.. and have a far lower quality of life.. it's not just about what happens at the end.. it's the journey too.
Siberius Wolf it's true we all are gonna die might not be today or tomorrow buts gonna happen
I live in Seoul and I never felt any fear. If it comes to that we were merely desensitised and shit hits the fence quicker than we can react, i will fight for and die for this land i love.
I get that this is like an everyday thing for South Koreans, but the one girl said NK would attack the US first doesn't make sense to me. I would think that Kim Jong-Un would want the land grab instead of firing a missile that could potentially be shot down, but shooting that missile at South Korea might not get shot down. I would think that NK would go after SK and Japan first, because they have a better chance that China will side with them.
Also, the bigger problem I see is that there are two crazy non-thinkers at the button of the nukes, so why wouldn't SK be worried about that? They should also be worried that Trump doesn't know we are supposed to be allies. He doesn't even know that Puerto Rico is part of America.
I personally don't care what jong-un does or how he does it. I don't even care to guess. I only know that if and when shit hits the fence and I am still standing, I will be here to defend what I love. What do you gain with worry? What do you gain with trying to be a political analyst? Nothing but losing your present NOW... I personally would not lose a minute of my precious NOW to crunch any of those news or what. :)
either way it doesn't matter, people would die and thats sad enough.
Ray Age Although I understand your land grab method, hitting USA first should likely be their aim as they have the more powerful arsenal. If South Korea gets hit first, America would be alerted beforehand therefore having some spare time to retaliate or at least be prepared. Trump has more firepower than Kim but his temper is just as dangerous as Kim's. But I'm not going to sit here and worry.

That would make sense if North Korea had even a chance of knocking the US out of any war on the Korean Peninsula with the few missiles he has. The fact is, it is doubtful that even Russia or China, with their infinitely larger and more powerful arsenals, could deliver a decisive blow to the North American continent through the US defense umbrella. NK has zero chance. The chances of even landing one ICBM into one target on the NA continent is very very low. The US has very powerful and very accurate missile defense systems and NK’s primitive missile technology has almost no chance of making it that very long distance and getting through. Why do you think they threatened Guam? As a protected American territory in the Far East Pacific it is the only target Kim Jong Un has even a hope of actually striking although he would be a fool to even try. The people of Guam are citizens of the United States and as such are under the protection of the American military. That being said, with today’s technology Guam holds only a tiny fraction of the military significance it once held. So if it were to be wiped out, NK, like Japan found out in WWII, would awaken the sleeping giant of the US military and before they could make much progress southward on the Korean Peninsula they would be swiftly destroyed by the US and their allies. All he would be doing is handing the US the justification it needs in the eyes of the world to utterly eradicate the North Korean menace once and for all. This isn’t the 1950’s - there would be no chance for a stalemate unless China decided to reverse it’s stance on the issue.
This is so insightful. I didn't know South Koreans are afraid to go to the US because of the mass shootings. she did have an amazing legit point on the concept.
I went to South Korea last year. Loved it. When I was on my way back to NY I saw all the US and UK newspapers with front page news about North Korea. When I got home people was shocked to hear that North Korea wasn't news worthy. I told them South Korea is about as scared of North Korea as New York is of New Jersey. LOL.
@Melissa Wall
Shit, is New Jersey as bad as the internet makes it sound?
It's like any other state. It's got it's good points and it's bad points.
Melissa Wall north korea is news worthy as it tortures many of its starving inhabitants.
Don't get me wrong it is news worthy. But when I was in South Korea it was hardly mentioned on the news stations and it was not a front page story. That was the shock to the people I talked to over here. Even before Trump became President North Korea was in the news in the US talking about the starvation of it's citizens, tortures and the development of weapons. That's all I'm saying.
hahahaha...
That grandpa though "....Kim Jong Un knows he's going to get destroyed..." roasted hahahahaha
You wish.
Really like this video. Given me a totally different prospective listening to everyone's different but somewhat similar opinions. Really engaged throughout the whole video. Love it !!!!
Such a great video. Sending it to all my friends and family here in Norway afraid of me traveling to Korea 😄
4maybeso Many people from Nordic countries are here and living happily, having great time. You are always welcome. South Korea is one of the cleanest and safest countries in the world.
No one ever said South Korea is dangerous though. It's the threat of the North they hype up to scare people.
아니 두려워해봤자 나아질게 있음? 전쟁날거 평생두려워 할바엔 오늘의 나의삶을 사는게 낫지 두려워 준비를 하나 안하나 더 나아지는것도 아니고 이런식으로 60년을 살아왔는데 지금와서 안절부절 못하고 사는게 더웃기지 않음? 외국인이야 한국인도 아니고 전쟁나면 자국 영사관 대사관에서 데리고 나간다 치더라도 한국인은 그런것도 기대할수 없잖아? 그럴바엔 신경끄고 내 삶 사는게 더 생산적임. 그렇다고 우리가 대비안하는것도 아니고 한국인들은 충분히 10대나 20대때 북한에 대해 정정긍긍하면서 인생을 더이상 허비하고 싶지 않을뿐. 미국이 총기가 많다고 해서 미국국민들이 날마다 무서워하면서 사는건 아니잖슴? 우리도 마찬가지 이젠 내성이 생긴거지 방관하는게 아니다. 한국에서 10년이상 살아본 외국인들은 무슨말인지 이해할듯
공감합니다. 그냥 우리 정부와 군을 믿고 일상생활을 할수밖에 없죠. 안그래도 고민할거리가 산더미인데요.
길티기어 대비가 부족하다. 전쟁이 나면 다같이 싸우고 행동하는 것인데, 대피 훈련 조차 협조하지 않는 쓰레기들이 얼마나 많은가 ? 배낭 준비하고 전쟁시 생존할 준비를 해놓고 일상 생활을 영위 할 수 있고 1 년앞을 보고 계획을 세울 수 있는 것 ....... 현재 니 같은 인간들 상태가 많다고 보는데,... 이해가 가는 측면이 없지는 않다 .. 하지만 니들의 행동중 더 큰 죄가 있다.. 다른 걸 몰라도 대북 입장은 옳았던 근혜가 전쟁을 부추긴다면서 제거하고 , 북이 아무리 나쁜 행동을 하고 도발해도 이해하는 정부를 뽑은 것이 한국민의 가장 큰 죄다. 전쟁이 무섭고 싫다고 무조건 평화 구호나외치고 전쟁 피하고 도망가는 놈을 뽑은 것 . 적이 공격적인데 전쟁을 하기 싫으면 전쟁을 준비하고 맞서야 상대가 쫄지. 트럼프가 심각하게 협박하니까 그동안 한국민을 불안하게 하던 북한 도발이 현재 한달이상 잠시나마 멈춰 있는 것이라는 것즘은 알아야 하며 지적해야 한다, 그리고나서 니가 한말을 해야
생활에 지장있을정도로 두려워하거나 너무 염려할 필요 까진 없지만, 대비를 하고 있다니요??
전쟁을 준비 또는 대비한다는건 정부나 군이 알아서 할일이라고 생각하면 안되는 것입니다.
전쟁발발시 민간인이 어떻게 해야되는것과 어떠한 행동요령도 훈련도 되어있지 않는 상태입니다.
전쟁발발시 어떻게 군이 민간을 통제되고 민간인의 행동요령이나 통신, 물자, 교통에 대한 어떠한 정보도 없습니다.
말그대로 아비규환이 될것입니다. 이를 통솔하고 규제하는데 훨씬더 많은 인원이 필요하겠지요
신경끄고 사는것보다. 어느정도 숙지하고 살아야지요,
일본이 지진대피 훈련을 자주하더라도 지진의 두려움 생활을 못할 정도는 아니잖아요?? 이와 같은 것입니다.
정부도 마찬가지입니다. 너무 안일하게 생각하고 있습니다.
어차피 죽는거??? 민간이 전쟁발발시 대비한것과 안한것에 대한 인명피해 숫자는 확연히 다를것입니다.
물론 김정은이 전쟁 일으킬 가능성은 아주 낮습니다.
그래도 국가간 대규모 전면전이 있을 가장 위험한 곳은 한반도이라는건 변함없는 사실 이니깐요.
GT_ K 그니까 민간인이 행동할수 있는 요령과 라인들을 정부랑 군이 구축해야 하는거잖아요
민간인은 대피장소랑 물품챙겨놓는거밖에 대비할수있는게 없으니까 그런거죠
GT_ K 동의합니다
I agree with pretty much all perspectives and thoughts of the people of S. Korea. I feel many people in the US also could agree with it as strongly as the ones you interviewed do. ❤️ S. Korea
I love how they all are like "Kim Jong Un is just an idiot"
This sort of reminds me of when you asked South Koreans about traveling to the US after a mass shooting, and they said they would feel unsafe and didn't want to go.
I totally agree with the girl in the grey shirt; she has it right.
This video is a great example about how the press manipulates people's opinions.
Lol I live in Israel and because of bullshit media I occasionally have to deal with people in chats that think either that we're living in terror getting stabbed in masses, or that we drink Palestinian's blood and slaughter
millions of them every day (depends on which crappy media outlet they watch). The problem is that the news cares more about attracting people with dramatic headlines (and keeping the masses intrested with relatable one dimentional reports ) than properly explaining the situation and making an in depth report. It's more like a reality show than an actual report of reality and it's making people's opinions twisted and disconnected from reality. I'm probably a victim of this too, because almost all of the information I know about the events taking place in the world has to have gone through someone that had intrests/biases.
Because I mentioned Israel I'm prebably gonna get a shitstorm here. Before you type some angry comment please THINK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT WHAT I JUST WROTE AND HOW IT MIGHT BE REALTED TO WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO NOW k thanks
Ofer Mossinson Interesting. Do Israeli share places like work places, public transportation, malls and parks with Palestinians normally? If so, are there interactions among Israeli and Palestinians? How is this interaction?
Definetly. Most interactions are pretty friendly/positgive, especially if you consider the "Israeli-Arabs" (Arabs with Israeli citizenship ) Palestinians. It is true that in times of high tention (the stabbings last year for
example) many Israelis would prefer to keep a distance from Palestinians fearing their safety, and they might do things like change a seat in public transportation for example. Unfortunately at those times nationalist/discriminatory organisations which harass Arabs gain momentum (such as LEHAVA which I think was outlawd but I'm not sure). I wouldn't say Israeli people are more or less racist than other groups around the world, but you often hear about the West Bank and Gaza because they're a huge unresolved mess created by the stupidity and short-sightedness of both sides. I hope sometime in my lifetime I'll be able to see the day when everyone understands this conflict is pointless and just stops fighting.
Ofer Mossinson Thank you for your clarification. As a Brazilian it's very hard to understand what's going on there. Sometimes it looks like there's a fence separating Israelis from Palestinians, and the removal of it would result in absolute carnage!
I like this video. It gives me a better view of how South Korea citizens feel about North Korea.
Eunmi24 .. exactly.! That is what we were supposed to get out of it.. nothing more..
If you live in South Korea going out without make up is much scarier than north korea
Dee J yea I’m Korean but I don’t live in South Korea, so I wouldn’t know what’s it like to live in South Korea to understand how they feel.
Dee J Hopefully you’re just being a troll... because having a certain name or type of name doesn’t mean you have to follow current events from your ethnic background/country. Also, fyi she said it’s nice to know how SK citizens FEEL about this issue not WHAT the issue is.
That one woman was correct on her analogy of the two leaders. "Both of them are idiots." Lol well said 👏🏻
Trump isint an idiot I think he's sort of smart but he has such an ego
i have to say that we as americans are used to the suave talking politicians that tickle our ears. Trump is not PC New York attitude that comes off as harsh and BIG ego. I kinda like it not a career politician someone who is already has billions that can't be bought off. Sure he has is problems but the USA has him for at least 3 more years or more lets hope he does well.
+Dank Meme let's wait for Trump's IQ test he ordered before we reach any conclusions. We all know his vocabulary isn't there.
Deedee Supine I'm willing to bet they're both smarter than you.
DA P Dude turns 1million into 10Billion and you probably make less than $40,000 salary lmao
Nice video showing how outsiders can have a totally wrong perception of reality. I love Korea - about time I go there again...
This was such a good Interview. The answers were really honest. It is sad that north Korea has to suffer with this crazy dictator
my boss is thinking of canceling a business trip to south korea this month because of north korea. i can't help but laugh at his face.
Riding in airplanes in general is dangerous though so he's not exactly stupid for doing that.
Armageddon Knight wtf?
Armageddon Knight no it's not. Look it up
@@ninezerotwo1778 you are more likely to die on the car ride to the airport than the actual plane ride
Problem is, you interviewed Americans, a civilisation that only know their continent. But when you go beyond their borders their knowledge stops there. When you see jimmy kemmel (sorry I'm French I don't remember the exact spelling) interviews in the streets where he asks Americans where Germany is and they don't even know ... how do you expect any other responses about Korea in general ....
sadly the majority of Americans get their news from fake bad news thats the problem or in general don't care.
American media is terrible. I think CNN even helped to elect Trump
To be fair, how easy do you think it is to be even knowledgeable of the 50 states within the U.S? Americans varied vastly depending on where you are. Blanket statements like above has no merits in an argument.
KALISSU
I don’t know which is more ignorant - the few idiots they find that don’t know where Germany is or the fools overseas who actually believe that is normal for educated Americans. You DO realize they interview dozens of people and pick only the funniest responses that match their narrative, don’t you? You can’t actually think that University educated people are that unaware or the world they live in?
Maybe you do believe that. If so, that’s sad. Because that is exactly what they wanted you to believe and you fell for it perfectly.
it's hilarious how you generalized a whole country
I am always impressed how well strcuctured and eloquent the answears of South Koreans are. They also seem very friendly and down to earth, I like them more and more.
The lady who compared it to our gun issues is spot on. Most ppl have guns of some kind, but the likely hood of you getting shot in most places is super low-to-none, like North Korea.
Thank you Asian Boss. This street dialogue is very important. I will share with all my connections.
Its funny how quickly all the North Korea hype died down
still pretty active on the news tho where have u been? LOL
Well, the North has had multiple missiles prepped for launch for about a week now. Suspicion is that they might involve an atmospheric test, which would demonstrate delivery capability, and may very well prompt the U.S. to conduct a massive air operation against the program + artillery, and maybe the leadership.
I don't know....the Russian investigation is getting closer to trump.
He will need another thing to distract the people :)
bananaempijama "closer and closer"
Yep, only three huge media "bombshells" were retracted last week, right? But yeah, totes getting close.
I really don't appreciate all of this negativity toward American people. We are not all idiots and we are not all stupid! The problem is that stupid people are louder than everyone else!
So funny, this makes me love the South Koreans! Hey guys, I want to tell you, I live in a major American city, and I walk around all the time literally never worrying about mass shootings! So, while it could happen, I don't think you really have to be afraid to visit because of that. And I won't be afraid to visit SK because of KJU - deal? lol!
맨날 뭐만하면 쏴버린다 해놓고 안하는게 일상인데 뭐 두려울게 뭐가있나 ㅋㅋ 그리고 지들도 전쟁하면 손해인거 아니까 안하는거고 ㅋㅋ;;오히려 가까우니까 함부로 못 쏘는것도있음.그리고 우리나라가 북한이랑 붙어있어서 위험한줄아는데 치한도 별로 없고 총기도 소지못하고 테러도 안나서 의외로 안전함
ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS AMERICAN MEDIA HAS GONE TO HELL.
Capitalism is great until truth is skewed and sanity is no longer anywhere to be found.
Singapore,Hong Kong/Macau,Japan and South Korea is the only place i feel safe in even as a foreigner
Just a funny thing to think about. That girl who said there is nothing we could do to stop North Korea's attack is completely right.
Say North Korea nuked Seoul, (which they wouldn't, they don't need to), you'd actually have a more decent chance of surviving through missile protection systems, or just not being so close to the blast that you don't just die immediately. You could get out eventually.
The most likely thing that would happen, which while living in Seoul while it doesn't bother me day to day, gets me once in a blue moon, is the fact that North Korea could literally flatten the entirety of Seoul using artillery and just normal missiles. That is how much fire power they have pointed at Seoul. So much, travelling so fast that there would be no way for defense systems to block it, and you'd almost have no time to escape.
As a European I had the same opinion on this matter as South Koreans do in the video. I never thought Americans (or the average American, don't mean to generalize) believes South Korea should be afraid of NK... I find this really interesting. If anything SUA has more chances to be attacked than SK. It's just a matter of politics and logical strategies. I highly enjoyed this video.
I’m really glad you addressed this issue. I have South Korean friends who are international students and they’re also very indifferent about the whole situation. It’s literally just Americans and their fear mongering that’s blowing this out of people.
Great video! Much love & respect from America.
The comparation of Kim Jong Un to Donald Trump😂😂😂
Same case with westerners knows only a few about China. Yeah there are bad parts of China but for sure it's not how it was spread by western medias at all. People tend to be scared of stuffs which is too far& unfamiliar with. Just like the mass shooting happens in LV, also created massive discussions of how unsafe US is and how having guns sounds inappropriate. But each country has their suitable policies and way of governence, so using the usual measurement which fits the current society you're in doesn't really fit the other country with different culture background.
Western media also never examines WHY China is like that. Why are the Chinese so obsessed with money, some ask. Well, it makes perfect sense because it is the ONLY thing that will guarantee some degree of safety. Why do Chinese people eat weird things? Well, why do 'weird' things need to be in exclusively Western standards?
exactly. Well, creating a good image of China certainly won't help their governance, that will bring doubts of their current system and make things worse. Plus, English is actually a much easier language to learn and use, and western world definitely took advantage from it, and using English to have our conversation is just one of the perfect examples.
Mainland china is truly being hated even in ASIA.
taller tree catches the wind more often.
I'd rather have to worry about a madman shooting me than my government. My government fears its people. In China, the people fear their government. Have a nice life there, 白左.
If the two Koreas don’t reunify soon (I mean like in a few decades) their language is going to differ so much and their culture will differ more than now. The North Korea is so culturally different now, their country is more like Old Korea back in the 1700s-1800s.

Ask them, if US decides to attack North Korea, how would the South Koreans feel?
we will very sad..
life is not whithe or black.
it is more grey...
we do not know
what happen..
another great video Asian Boss!
it's just ALL propaganda. ALL governments do it!
India always with south korea ,🇮🇳♥️🇰🇷
In America, talking to a couple of South Korean friends. They say that they don't pay attention to N.Korea at all. They are actually sort of clueless about the whole situation because it's so commonplace for them that they've stopped caring. They're actually more worried about Trump and all that he is doing to keep immigration (legal and illegal) into America down. They have family in Seoul, but are more worried about their job/Visa status over here.
What do you get in mind when hear word Korea
2017 - war
3 years later ....
2020 - kpop
Any kpop fans here ○○
Thank you for giving us westerners these insights! Really appreciate it. :)
I was in Seoul once in the 1990s and they had an air raid drill in the middle of the afternoon, so I would say they take the threat somewhat seriously, no? Of course they are used to it. It's a warm & friendly place, less formal than Japan.
One year has passed and the two Koreas are now initiating peace relations. Never thought that it will be during the Trump administration
I never thought about it. That girl said it best.. I live in the dirty south of America and I'm not the least bit afraid of getting shot by a gun.
As a Korean lived for 20 years in divided country, I am just so accustomed to North Korean's provocation. When Kim-Jungeun warn about firing missiles to Seoul, most Koreans just think like " Uh, he is hungry again" . All Koren males are trained to use guns and there are US forces in Korea. Kim can never make war happen.
20 years???
Its been 70 years.
mcestabon I am 20 years old
Oh, I misunderstood your statement. Sorry.
He's hungry again 😂 do women have to serve in the Korean military as well?
It will never happen. China won't back them if they attack first. That's why they try to provoke a lot.
In my opinion, media just needs to create fuss, that's what they live for (literally, that's what pays their bills). If there's nothing to talk about, they don't have a job, and I feel like especially in the western world all the major or main media just walk the extra mile to get people intrested. I don't think all the people that they interviewed the day they filmed that video said the same crap as it was shown in the video, but they edited so it would look like we're all so concerned. And also, if people really think that they're really ignorant, and I have no doubt about it since most people might not even know where korea is in a world's map. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be concerned but if you're gonna be concerned, at least investigate things, look at the whole picture not only the frame that media is showing you and making you believe. And also, if you're really concerned, try and do something about it, don't just go around saying that you are scared and then go hide on a corner, that's not going to make things better.
this has been so aggravating for me because I live in america and i'm going to college right now to get a degree so i can move to south korea to teach and all of my professors and family are constantly telling me i'm crazy and delusional for wanting to move there
Wow I'm surprised some people are more scared of Trump than Kim Jong Un while USA people worry about SK civilian's safety.Thanks for the very different perspective point of view.
As an American I am very glad the people of South Korea are not totally freaked out by the North. I also agree with the people in the video who stated the the U.S. and South Korea are very close and we will win in short order. I don't think the South has much to worry about. I do want the good people of South Korea to know that we Americans value them very much and we are proud to call them allies. We will NOT forsake or turn our backs on them. We stand together and will do whatever it takes to defend South Korea 🇰🇷 😎. Stay strong. We love you guys... great video Boss. Keep it up.
John Lewis things changed. Current Korean govt is basically far left socialists - all have anti American records , and 90 % of Koreans do not have sense of rule of laws , and 90% of them can accept slavery of china . Us Korean FTA is now in the process of renegotiation including nullification of the deal. Trump is president of America . And republicans are patriots and realistic. Not a chance for him to get along with those socialist, anti American, and north appeaser . Not a chance. Alliance is just a paper at the moment. Koreans and Americans are not on the same page. There is a big chance South Korea would even turn adversary to America within a year or so if Current pro North vietkongs govt did continue to resist against trump
Taekwon Yoo 무슨 말씀이신지 ...
This guy is exaggerating.
We said the same thing to the people of South Vietnam, before our Congress betrayed them.
Well, if anything happens here, I am going to die along with everyone else so I ain't going to complain lol People need to learn how to enjoy each day to the fullest without worrying too much about what will happen next.
Trump should totally see this and befriend with Kim Jong Um, and since he is already a friend of Putin, world peace can soon be achieved. LOL
fully agree with that guy in yellow
Hey thats pretty good
haha Taiwanese understand that. We're also at war with China too but we're numb to it
Korean women, North or South are gorgeous!
Bring all the troops home. Without our constant threat maybe the two Koreas can work better together..
Part of America is a lot like Russia. We are very proud of our military and some of us LOVE the idea of war and conquering. It's not our best quality but when somebody like Trump is in office the war hungry citizens start to be more vocal and hungry for it.
bumping heads with other to feel power is one way one feels they can obtain authority. sadly, north korea is a weak country with a volatile president
3:55 dude, NK hates America because they were winning the Korean war and occupied almost the whole peninsula before we got involved... so don't act like they were originally fighting us and they'd never invade you guys. BTW if NK attacked America I would just assume that South Korea would get involved and fight on our side, because if not then WTF are we even doing there?
'both of them are idiots' 😰😅👏
I've been wondering this because they're in range of conventional weapons like artillery but they're pretty hung up on reunification in the North I think they just use the threat against South Koreans to scare us in America
You look like Jackie Chan
Is it me or these Korean girls are cute as hell. I’m Puerto Rican-American by the way.
I can't help but feel that you cut out the question "how do you feel about Trump in the white house" and then portrayed their responses as general response to being questioned about north Korea.
This is perfect, as someone who is in route to be in South Korea within 2-3 years teaching ESL I am always telling family and friends to calm down. I will save this video to show them.
고맙습니다
Complacency gets you killed. Here you see a lot of complacent people who have lived under a large protection umbrella for a long time. You now have a nuclear NK. They won't shoot missiles at you yet they have shot them towards Japan. So when does the rhetoric stop and he does decide to shoot? Should you wait for it ? I am sure you are playing a political game here with what you choose to show as well. Would you show footage of people who are scared ? Would Koreans admit they were scared on camera knowing good well that NK is watching this video and the would steal it for propaganda ..... Just saying
This vid is not saying that SK people do not afraid NK at all, but it's about how we have gotten used to concern war since 1953. We are now living in 2017 and always had to be afraid of war and prepare for it BUT Nothing happend although there were more than 10 times of threatenings from NK. It's like Americans do afraid of being shoot but not 24/7 because if they so afraid of it everytime, they can't live their daily life. But this time, SK people do have no ideas how Trump will react-he is totally different from Obama-, so we are sort of afraid of it but not too much.
We live in a media manufactured reality. The media is the most powerful entity on Earth. More powerful than any army ever in history. The media has the power to create, change and shape public opinion with an ease. They have the power to create and change identities.They have the power to create realities that don't exist. Give me the power of the media, and i have full control over the world.
Thanks for this video. I've been trying to tell others exactly what this video portrays. Much of what they think about South Korea and the perceived threat from the north is exaggerated. If they do think there's a threat, are they supposed to be quaking in fear for the rest of their lives? It's not sustainable and not realistic. Thank you again.
I've been saying this since the whole situation started..I'm still visiting and coming to Seoul for two months next summer.
do you think it's korea a good country to build your future in?
Because i need to continue my studies abroad and i don't know what to choose Germany or South Korea
Other nations:Oh they shot missile!
Our nation:again?
So off topic but I heard dna in the background oml....but in all seriousness before South Korea made it seem like North Korea was just joking and playing around but for real it’s really scary literally a kid has a power to do something dangerous
I think President Trump is playing 4D chess. 잘 있어요!
Americans and their misconceptions of the world
오랜만에 볼만한 영상이네요
I can't read korean, but i think you forgot to blur the names of the 2 soldiers on their jackets.
thanks that was awesome, and great to see they agree with the rest of the world about the childish leaders behavours

I am more afraid of Trump than Kim Jeongun to be honest.
This video really gave me a great insight on how Koreans think about the entire issue. Also, it's a great video to show my parents when they get worried again about me wanting to study in Korea next year!
Kim jung un is Donald Trump I'm done 😵
Just came back from South Korea and you really don't hear about it that much. I felt very safe and comfortable.

CAN south Korea defeat the north without the help of USA?
Assuming Mainland China, and nukes are NOT involved, yes
lol even iraq is more safer than usa
*North Korea so strict!*
*North Korea I hate that 😉*
Interviewer: Aren't you scared of Noth Korea??
Average south Korean: Nahh they ain't gonna do nothin....
What a great video. I live in Europe and honestly, I would feel much more safer in South Korea than in USA.

LOL, America is the protection South Korea deserve, but not need.
I'm not afraid of North Korea at all because we train very hard. That's what the south korean soldier said. How do you train to fight a nuclear missile? seriously
You guys are running out of ideas.
Wow.. really goes to show how misinformed many foreigners are with the issue
..maybe the news was blown way out of proportion..(?)
katherine wu I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT HAHAHA
The girl in the blue checked top with blue fingernails is absolutely right on!
And...Yerin and Yeseo Park live in Seoul. It's unthinkable anything could happen to them!!!
We'll figure the mess out *someway.* We *have* to!
They're like our Godchildren...and a lot of other people's too.
이 영상이 오래되서 지금에 와서까지 이슈가 될까 싶지만.. 코로나이후 외국인들이 생각하는 한국의 위상이 많이 달라지기도 했고 다들 와보고 싶어하고 한번 와보면 다시 오고 싶은 나라가 되었죠... 북한을 두려워하기보다는 ... 이유는 경제적이든 군사력이든 북한보다는 낫지만 국제정세를 생각하는 국가적 차원에서 참고 있는것이고 그리고 한국 정부의 대처하는 태도가 국민들의 입장에서 볼때 속시원하게 보여주는 것은 없어서 오히려 북한 관련 뉴스나 사건 사고가 나올때에 불안감을 느끼는건 사실입니다 정부가 똑부러진 태도만 보여주신다면 국민들이 그나마 덜 불안할것 같아요 경제력이나 군사력을 떠나서 말이죠 대처시에 국민들이 어떤 불안을 느낄까라는 생각을 단 한번이라도 해주면 좋겠습니다
하지만 그런것들은 둘째치고라도 북한 사람들 그만 넘어왔으면 좋겠네요 한국 사람들도 살기 힘든데 북한 떠난 난민들까지 같은 땅에 살았던 사람들이라는 이유로 받아주어야 하는 한국 정부도 골치 아플거라 생각이 듭니다
진짜 한국의 이미지가 10년만에 갑자기 바뀜
How ridiculous has it become to where the most clickable issue is to discuss is how much fear the US and Korea have. Measuring fear has now replaced all forms of societal discourse it seems. Forget about sports, travel, education, democracy et al.
Having said that, I began to store water in my Seoul apartment last week...
Great Video. It would also be interesting if you could get the opinion of people outside of Seoul and see if there are opinion differences on various topics.
I live outside of Seoul and I have same opinion with them. Old generation experienced the war might have different opinions though.
i just wanna say that which country is not sitting at the edge of war??.....i think almost every country so its stupid to say south korea is dangerous....
Anyone else imagining Kim Jong Un standing, looking stoically outside the top floor of a castle saying "the north remembers..."? Only me?
