Mates... Have you seen these commercials?? 🤔
Stalk me by my IG @dyoreee

xylitol ad... finns dendists have years sugggested... 1-2 xylitol gum... after eating, brakfast, lunch and dinner... and in finland slogan was: pure jenkki(bite yank(us) =) ... korean ads seems to be more vivid
pure = bite, or in english: fresh, clean and so on... =)
I think we all Finns agree on that all publicity about Finland (that isn't negative) is good, we really like when people from other countries know about us 😂
This was really cute haha
잘 봤어요! 🥰
That's great :) 한국어는 좀 많이 늘었어요? Thanks for watching and visiting again!
SoulofSol ㅋㅋ 열심히 공부하고 있어요!
I think so too. But why anyone asks if we are offended? Really weird.
@@setatampio9016 Well i kinda felt like the comercial was pretty stereotypical and weird so i would say that i was a little annoyed by it
Kpop Flower But that's all it was though... stereotypical
I don't think being seen as a funny elf is something to get offended about honestly
Joskus pitää ottaa asiat vähä huumorilla ettei meistä suomalaisistaki tuu sellasia herneneniä niiku muut ;) Meitä ei kuitenkaa haukuttu tässä millään tavalla nii...
I'm wondering if the next xylitol commercial will be in sauna...
I think that the only problem is the altered traditional Sami clothes, since they're not technically traditional Finnish clothing. If he wore something straight out if the movie Häjyt, I'd be really impressed. 😸
I was just about to write the same issue with Sami influence, that is bit inappropriate, because the nature of gakti (the Sami clothing)
It came into my mind that Sami ppl just might offended, not the Finns.
I was about to write about this as well. Yeah it's not really Finnish, it's more about the Sami culture. People already misuse the hat a lot, so I can see Sami people getting annoyed by this
Sami clothes aren't traditional Finnish clothes in the first place, the Sami are a different people to the Finns, and Finnish people have a completely different national costume, which is pretty similar to the national costumes of Norwegians. The Sami will also take great offense if a Finnish person wears their traditional clothing
Katja Pihkanen Häjyt isn’t traditional either, neither are those Sámi clothes. They’re all post-1500s. True traditional Finnish clothes look like what Mordvins and Mari people wear.
I agree with some other commenters here that also said that they don't find this commercial offensive, rather just funny and cute. I think as long as it's done in good taste and doesn't make Finland or Finnish people look bad, nobody will get offended :D Great job on this video, it was really interesting to know the origins of "휘바휘바" since many koreans I've talked to have mentioned that to me!
That’s why BTS was repeating HYVÄÄ HYVÄÄ when they were in Finland 😂
Aino Koski I just commented the same 😂 I was wondering why they did that and now I know 😂
lmao im wheeZing
I just thought the same 😂😂
Wait what when were they here? What have I missed🤯😭
@@ipurplebts6730 they visited in 2016. Bon voyage season 1, you should check it out it's nice 👍
I think the costume makes the people seem more irish or something with the green colour ^^ The costumes look fun, but I don't think they look like Finnish traditional clothes anymore
well we here in Finland are happy to take Irish heritage of our own :D XD XD XD
Well, those costumes are kind of traditional costumes of sámi people.
Well, they don't really look like Finnish traditional clothes anyway, more like Sami-clothing. Finnish traditional clothing for men generally looks like this: asiakas.kotisivukone.com/files/vuorelma.palvelee.fi/tuotekuvat/kansallispuvut/miehet/.thumbs/etela-pohjanmaa_680x1000.jpg
I didn't know we were famous for Xylitol, and I think that commercial is actually pretty funny
You guys are famous for two other thing: Defending your country from Soviet Union during WW2, Extreme Metal and Sauna.
Omg this is the first channel where I see a Korean making videos related to Finland. Love from finland
Im shocked how everyone thinks the clothes are inspired by finnish national costumes. The hats they wore looked a lot like the ones sami people in lapland wear (More specifically sami men wear them). I think it is weird to even assume that finnish people would get offended when we are not even the ones being resembled in the video. For what I have heard, Sami people usually think that wearing their traditional clothing when you aren’t considered sami is very offensive. Their clothes mean so much to them because it tells other where your family comes from, where you were born etc.. I am not sami but I would assume this would be offensive. Sorry for my english and also this is my opinion and I could be wrong. Don’t attack me 😅
there is always people who are offended for one reason or two, what comes to clothing if we start to limit traditional clothes or things that look a likes only to origin countries then world start to be quite dull place and some people are naked as almost every clothing has some origins on traditional clothing.
@@freezedeve3119 Yeah, but it's not cool to water down and abuse traditional dress of a coulture that is at an underdog position and fighting to survive. A lot of Sami tradition has disappeared. I feel sad that Finns have forgotten about their coulture, I don't want the same to happen to the Sami and I want to respect their coulture and let them embrace it.
@@raapyna8544 fighting to survive? you make it sound so serious, no one is trying to stop you living on your traditional way so if your traditional way is not popular anymore it has reason for it, people want something more or something else, world is in constant change and you have change with it.
Sami people always accuse other Finns for treating them badly but in reality studies made earlier, (Sami people complaining about those studies), made it known that Sami people are there and now Sami people have some laws that give some special rights that no other Finns have so i do not know what they are complaining.
Freezed Eve Well it is that serious, Sámi people And the sami way of life was pushed down(illegal) for a few hundred years, the language was banned in school, If you had a sami last name you could not own land, your were taxed higher than native Swedish/Norwegian/finns.
Do you even know how hard the fight was for us to even get the same rights as other nationals?
Sámi kids used to be abused by teachers for talking their mother’s language.
forced sterilization was a thing.
Sámis could only own land If They changed their last name etc.
And the «special» rights you are talking about are there to make sure we get to live the traditional way, work with reindeers, collect from nature and keep our lands out of the hands of colonial powers(such as Finland, sweden And Norway),
even to this day samis are treated like animals.
Even today some sámis are ashamed to discuss their Sami heritage.
So I will not let somebody who doesnt live our life tell me that its not that serious. I will not let somebody who has no idea How we have it tell ME anything about How we or I should feel!
@@vannillarose7319 Calling Finland a colonial power is a gross misrepresentation at best.
That is little bit weird... but we finnish people can be happy that in korea is something that we are known about (maybe)... at that secound was so cool becaus he said "hyvä hyvä"!!
can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty hansol is in this video??!?!?! my hearttttt
Promoting good dental health in a funny way, can't see that as anything but positive!
The costume seems to be loosely inspired by some traditional garb the Sámi people have worn, so from the indigenous people up northern Finland.
I think that most finns find that commercial kind of funny in a stupid way😅 It doesn't feel that offensive, but the other thing is that what Sami people think about it... I know some Samis and they are very proud and protective towards their own culture. So as far as I know, levan polkka is from Savo or maybe Carelia (I'm not sure but not from north that's for sure.) So it feels a bit wrong to connect that song with "traditional" Sami clothing. Also there is no general Sami clothing because every Sami area (there are Samis in all northern countries, Norway, Finland, Russia...) has it's own unique handmade clothing. So I think that commercial is some way seen as cultural appropriation. That hat is obviously giving that traditional Sami hat vibe, but cause the colors and basically everything is wrong, I don't know if it should be even seen offencive🤔
As a sami, I personally don't really find this offensive, but really stupid because obviously sami people are not finns
i thought the 2019 commercial was rather funny, didn’t expect finns to be known for something in korea lol. torille!!
The costume isn't a Finnish traditional costume its a Saami traditional costume. the Saami are a minority in Finland
We eat xylitol after every meal.. not before going to sleep
Xylitol was invented in Finland, so there's the explanation. As for the traditional costume: It is actually a traditional Sami costume, so the minority group in Finland that lives far up north. Maybe they are offended but most Finns like the fact that somebody remembers us it is only fun for us to see these types of commercials. :D
Wow I was really shocked by this haha
really cool! thanks for lettign us know!
always cool to see Finland abroad!
(and thanks for protecting finland haha)
A "regular" Finn can't really disapprove or approve these commercials much since the clothing the man wears in them is made to resemble the traditional garment of the Saami people, living in Nothern Finland. Imagine if someone made similar commercials but with Native American clothes on, this is pretty much the same thing but with the style of another minority. To me this seems like cultural appropriation.
Any Finn can say they don't mind Ievan Polkka playing in the background, the Santa Claus beard or that they don't mind the birch forest behind the dude, but the clothes belong to the Saami people and they should be the judges when wondering if this is offensive or not.
Stop importing American outrage culture. There is no such thing as "cultural appropriation".
Judit Ginzboorg Nobody cares. Finns and Sámi are the same people anyway and Koreans parodying our clothes doesn’t matter. Stop being such a goddamn weakling.
Finland seems like a magical place
Wheresmyeyebrow i’m from Finland and oh yeah... it’s raining 99 % of the year (either water or snow) summer is my favorite DAY of the year and my biggest fear is to talk to stranger
In winter the whole country looks like a postcard so... yea :)
Wheresmyeyebrow Finland does not exist. Maths proove it.
XtreeM FaiL Oh damn I forgot... but wait... in that case are finns just actors paid by the government of the usa?
Oho well I live in Finland
While it is pretty offensive and racist commercial, but I don't think anyone in Finland knows or cares about it. I think the biggest problem is that it is so inaccurate, it they had used even some more proper references, it would be more ok. Most of it also represent Sámi people, and not actually Finnish people, and not in a positive way, and they are already very touchy about their culture being constantly cheapened and ridiculed by Finns
I think most if not all Finns will be most shocked, that this is somehow supposed to represent Finnish culture or people. They even got the "ievan polkka" wrong with "Leva". "ievan" means Eeva's in older Finnish
I have stumbled on the negative stereotypes it promotes when I lived in Japan and Koreans would nonstop come shout that "Leva Leva" at me and commenting how I don't look and act like "proper" Finnish. It made no sense to me at the time, until I saw these commercials later on
That costume in the video looks like Gákti which is traditional Sami costume.
So glad you're doing videos more frequently!
I like your Finnish videos I live in Finland and I’m half korean
I don’t know many Koreans who know like anything about Finland 😂😂
But it’s fun here but also in Korea it’s fun there
Keep on making videos!
We use xylitol every day because everybody uses xylitol tooth paste in Finland. American gum companies were lobbying hard against xylitol and that's why it's not popular worldwide even though it's a very healthy sugar substitute for teeth. Thanks for sharing this great commercial. #torille
Omg!! I just watched bts bon voyage season 1, where they visited Finland and was wondering why they were shouting hyvaa hyvaa all the time 😂 this answers my question, my mind is blown 😂
i missed your videos!!
I miss y'all everyday!
Those costumes ain't Finnish. Those are costumes of sami people in diffirent colour. I know that there is sami people in Finland, but also in sweden and Norway, but as a FINNISH person I am not offended. And there are diffirent costumes for each province in Finland. In "Pohjanmaa" it is black and red and of cource a knife.
That part of the song that you talked about IS in fact in the song.
Yaaaaas finaly a. New video
Hope you enjoyed it!
Omg i just can't🤩❤️ your like so pretty💓
omg i love your videos SO much and i love you💜 you are so freaking pretty💜😍😍
Thank you for protecting Finland😂💛 keep up the good work
I just find it funny when there are stereotypes of us beinbg spread xD Like SNL's Kalle show one is so gold too xD
I don't know if you knew this but Xylitol gum was actually a Finnish invention and that is probably why they make the connection with Finland and the product in the video.
Finally new videos! Suomi on ihana maa
When i was visiting korea i was shocked about the young students because they knew about finland 🤣 hyvä hyvä!
Mitä?! Suomi tiedetään Koreassa?! 😍
That was just funny to me. Hyvä, hyvä! 😄
If I'll ever get to visit Korea, I'll be sure to learn how to sing Ievan polkka. 😂
As a Swede, Xylitol would not be anything I associated with Finland. Koskenkorva tho. But this information will be very useful for me when Dreamcatcher comes to Helsinki on the 7th November. Who else is going to the concert? All tickets except VIP seems to be sold out. It'll be great fun it they do a cover on stage.
I loved that commercial! I laughed so hard I almost cried! And personally, I didn't find anything offensive about the commercial, but then again, it is really difficult to offend me. Sure, it would've been nice to see some authentic traditional clothes, but Finland has so many different variants depending on which region you are from that it was simply easier to just go with the minty green color. Also, the minty green is super well known in Korea, so I don't really mind. Ultimately I hope that more people become interested in Finland, especially Koreans, since our histories are so similar (and our love of saunas)
I haven't eaven seen the whole video but I know it's going to be good💖😍
Sofia you are my angel :)
I have feeling that creators of that commercial might have seen old Finnish TV show, maybe from 80's (if I remember correctly it was Pulttibois by Kalliala, Petelius). It had that kind of sami character.
Which was very racist...
Just saw this for the first time. :D I find it cool that there is people who have a positive stereotype about Finland although the costume is more of a Sámi thing and it is definitely not in that color :D
oh and @SoulofSol you pronounced the finnish words really well.
The commercials are hilarious :D
I'm not really offended, though the outfits don't seem to be our traditional clothing at all ( I only have my grandma's old traditional dress so I haven't seen that many). I did know we were famous around the world for moomins, angry birds, clash of clans/hayday and maybe for our elevators? But xylitol was a surprise
It is because they aren't. They are an imitation of Sámi traditional clothes, not Finnish
Hybä Hybä!
1. I had no idea there are commercials outside of Finland in which Finland is featured (besides Sweden, Estonia and Russia, maybe?)
2. Not offended in the least. I'm still sure all sami people identify as Finns, despite their different clothing, language and customs.
3. Xylitol, huh? It's been a while since I last enjoyed chewing gum, but yay for this commercial for reminding me!
I wouldn't say all Sami people identify as Finns because they also live in Norway and Sweden, aaaand a smaller population in Russia is also a thing. Their culture and traditions also differ from the typical Finns etc. and what not so it's a different group of people. We can work together etc. but there are going to be things unique to the Sami and the other people living here (and the other Sami populations in the other nations, I forget how often they travel past the borders)
For some reason I keep forgetting they live in the bordering countries, too. So that was a crass generalization on my part. :D
I remember back when I first started my undergrad, all my Korean friends when they learned I was from Finland started saying "hyvä hyvä" to me and I was so confused until I realized it was because of the commercial xD
I remember you singing levan polkka on a lifestream I really enjoyed it and you did a good job jskdjd
what a kaunis girl:) thanks for the awesome video. xylitol is important to keep our teeth healthy:)
Don't worry, I think everyone of us finns are ok with this!
Thank You for Your very nice videos!
( ✿°ω °) > "ᵀᵒʳᶦˡˡᵉ"
Xylitol omg love that gum 😆😆😆😆
Good video 👍
Xylitol isn't that uncommon as far as I'm aware, but it was originally made from birch. Xylitol can cause diarrhea if you consume too much of it, which I suppose is the main problem with it. I don't know if it's actually any good for dental health though.
Haha, when one country see in their commercials always some random santa claus looking dude dancing when they are advertising Xylitol. So funny, thanks for posting this. I am from Finland and really didn't know that Xylitol was maybe 1st and only thing they know about Finland. In Finland the advertisement for it has always been chewing gum and just toothpaste ads + no dancing santa clauses =)
Xylitol was actually first used in finland so yeah that's probably why lol
As a finn I approve those commercials 100 per cent. Hyvä hyvä!
The commercial looks cute to me, not that I recognise much of actual Finland in it lol. As several people have pointed out, the costume isn't actually Finnish traditional clothing but of Sami people, and they usually are very protective of their culture. (I do understand why, though.) As for the Finnish people, we are happy about (positive) attention and people knowing we exist. 😂 Hyvä hyvä!
When I first heard about the og commercial from my korean friends, I was low-key shocked. But in a good way! The fact that Finland is known for xylitol is actually pretty cool!
It’s is such an everyday thing for us and we’re basically forced to eat xylitol gum after every meal since we’re small children, so we really don’t think too much about that 😂 Both of these commersials are really cute and funny, especially the first one! The ”hyvää hyvää” prase is catchy 👍🏻
The only problem in newer one might be the costume and how it replicates traditional sami costume (cheap sami costume replicas are a problem in Finland too)...
But besides that, it’s really nice to learn what makes Finland famous in other countries. To know that these commercials might be the first touch of Finland for some koreans... I don’t think that’s such a bad thing!
Okay finn here! I think that the outfit at least for me wasn't offensive. It wasnt the most accurate one id say but I thought it was cute and funny😂💕
you should visit norway some time!
"Torille" resulted into insta like
Now I get that one scene in Chawz (차우 2009).
I knew the 2003 version of the commercial, but didn't know there was a new version.
Okei kiva
The green costumes and backround? I guess it refers that Xylitol is made from birch tree sap, as the trees on the commercials, lol!!
Main thing that Koreans know that it's good for teehts...
Hah, hah! Unbelievable (the 2019 commercial). So funny. The sound effects when he pulls his hat strings and the jar pops open, and then the video game in the end.. the whole style of it is comedy. Yeah they have some sort of Sami hat... but green, and I don't know what the rest of the outfit is.. there are some national outfits with white socks, but of course that is just made up. I'm not offended. And really Ievan Polkka fits well in a commercial like that, and it is a folk song, so yeah, go for it. At least if I meet a Korean tourist now, I know why he/she says "hyvä, hyvä." How on earth did they pick that one word?
How do you find all them inserts in your video? No don't tell me, I'm not a content creator, I'm just saying that this was so funny video from you too. Ah, you're still determined to learn the song! Maybe you will become a celebrity in Korea or Finland when you nail it, hah, hah, that would be cool.
I've seen UA-cam videos of Japanese commercials. I'm going to check Koran ones now. The Japanese are famous of how weird (at least from European cultures perspective perspective) they are. I just hope that American-style commercials haven't ruined what Koreans do.
Hyvä is an easy word to use, and I don't really know which word would be more suitable.
Finns don't have bubblegum before going to sleep but they usually brush their teeth, and some toothpastes have xylitol. I have probably sometime chewed some gum in the evening if I was on a trip somwhere and didn't have a toothbrush with me. But usually people chew gum after a meal.
Hyvä hyvä -From Finland :D
1) i thought that the commercials were super funny 2) love how the everyone always say "hyva hyva" like I really do😂 3) the costumes were not that offensive because I think that in Finland it is not that big of a deal, no one really wear traditional clothing. It might have been different if they were wearing Saame clothes
Summa summarum liked the video and laughed so much that my family thinks that I'm crazy :)
Wow! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :) I'm glad you liked the commercial!!!
and yes, most Korean know "Hyva" even they don't even really know what it means 😂
but they are actually wearing traditional saame clothes, not traditional finnish clothes.
Roki, you mean it could have been offending had they worn Sami (it's Sami or Saami in English) outfits? I recall someone non-Sami wearing a Sami costume in independence day celebration got rebuking feedback. American natives have given feedback of same issue. But it's a different thing in a commercial or a movie, they are playing a role. So even if it had been a Sami costume (which it wasn't), that shouldn't be offending.
@@1212Nea Well the hat looks Saami one. The rest of the outfit surely doesn't at all.
@@Aurinkohirvi if it is supposed to be saame clothing I can't really say if it is offensive because I'm not part of Saame culture but for me it doesn't really look like saame clothing, because usually the outfits are red and blue colored. If it is Saame clothing though I can see why it would be offensive. On the other hand I could be totally wrong xd
I am new to this channel I love it already haha. are you in korea right now. I am.
I did not know Xylitol is a finnish thing.. and I am finnish..
pälli
@@tuukka4349 dikki
I’m half finnish yet i didn’t know ievan polkka is finnish, what have i been doing my entire life.
First of all, I find it amazing you even have lightly finnish themed commercials. Secondly, we wear blue instead of green, but the beards are close enough. However, land on any of the finnish airports, drive for an hour or so in any direction, you'll never, ever see people like these.
I was chewing full xylitol gum while watching this
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I literally laughed out loud😂😂😂😂
That's excatly what we look like. Everyone is a crazy man in a fucking elf costume. And we only say "Hyvä hyvä"
It's funny how they are wearing costumes that look like gáktis that are "traditional clothing" of sami people, not finns
I think the coloring of the costume is for birch. (Xylitol is made from birch)
Like the costume is something that I don't like about the commercial besides the 2003 commercial we take the xylitol gum usually after eating not when we go to sleep also is he saying hyvä hyvä? (good good)
The clothes are not offensive to most Finnish people because the clothing are traditional Sami clothing, not Finnish.
Hello from Finland 😁🇫🇮💙💙
It's funny that we're known for Xylitol. My mom buys it all the time 😂
it's funny that Finns in
Korea are considered green-dressed guys who look pretty cheerful, by the way the suit is very close to the Sami costume and the Sámi don't like being worn by others.
:D We are cool about this :)
Also in Italy: ua-cam.com/video/RxQ7eCCm0pA/v-deo.html
The advert says that Finnish people know that birch trees contain lot of xylitol.. But they also know that gums taste better that trees 😂🇫🇮
Xylitol is invented in Finland and I'd say that it is known worldwide, but is not used in every country. (I'm Finnish and really I just think these commercials are just too funny. I really don't mind them at all)
hwiba hwiba!
On the dress, I don't think anyone would be offended. More confused if someone were to claim it's a Finnish national dress. We know Xylitol was invented/discovered in Finland, but IDK if anyone would expect us to be famous for it.
I'm a 40-year-old Finnish man, and I probably wouldn't even know about Ievan Polkka if it weren't made famous by Japanese animators and then by every fan who watched the anime it was featured in. We have lots of really catchy polkkas here, and this one wasn't popular when I grew up. Also I always thought that old Korean xylitol commercial was made that way because the Koreans tried to bring in Santa Claus (who is from Finland just like xylitol), but they didn't even know he doesn't wear a green suit, so in my mind it was cute. Here's the most popular Finnish polka: ua-cam.com/video/gZx1zl_sVTI/v-deo.html
The Sami outfit tells a lot of things about it's wearer. It tells where are you from, are you married, even who made the outfit. It tells about our history. I carry my gákti with pride of my culture.
So yes, it's a bit offending when you take all the important things off and make it look like some kind of elf costume.
But I see the funny part too. 😄
:,,D
That's hilarious
That commercial lol
It's not offensive, they're just having a bit of fun with Finnish stereotypes and culture, nothing wrong with that. 😛
Which stereotype did they use?
@@Aurinkohirvi Stereotype (according to Koreans and most likely others as well) that we eat xylitol all the time and the Gákti costumes.
When you make new video? 😊
Most of the finnish people won't or atleast shouldn't be offended by the costumes, since only Sámi people wear that particular clothing . Sami people inhabit northern part of Finland aka Lapland. So it's quite different from the "casual" Finn. ^^
1:15 there! THERE! I'm there! kinda... like the top one that you can see only little bit...It's me :3
Oh!! You were there 😂Come visit when I perfectly sing the song again!
I was there also on the top you can see me^w^ still remember the live video you made!
@@SoulofSol I was the girl whose dog came to watch the live too! Mut left :'(
Me three. One of the rare times I actually made it to live chat. I'm good at failing in that.
@@whelve_buddy I remember reading that in the live chat!
I'm from Finland 🤩
Im from finland and when I show that new version xylitol ad from my dad he said “voi luoja…” = oh god… xd
Update video soon?
