I was lost in Hongdae, it was so hot and I had over 30kg of luggage on me. I kinda started crying because I was jet-lagged and stressed but this man saw me distressed and helped me. He carried my luggage for me and took me to the hotel. I will always be thankful, it's such a shame that I didn't get his name or contact details.
my uncle went to Korea for a wedding. he went off on his own to visit the kpop cafe, he got lost, so he asked teen girls, assuming they would know where it was. and the two girls escorted him on the bus, and the train then walking him right to the door of the cafe. if thats not nice, then i dont know what is. and we are Canadian
The guy at 3:28 was so kind! I loved how the foreigner kept asking questions and he was just so kind about it and helped him the whole time. That put a smile to my face. He was so sweet :)
I'm African American and I was so nervous when I first came to Korea, because I figured, if I'm already experiencing so much racism and discrimination in America (my home country), I would get be more discriminated against in a country that doesn't really have many exposure to black people. But nope, everyone was super helpful and kind. I only experienced racist occurrences a handful of times but even then, other Koreans would either step in to intervene or apologize on behalf of the rude citizens. Much love y'all!!
Wangsip-ri is indeed the most boring place in Seoul! I know it, I lived around there cuz I went to Hanyang-Univ Besides, it's super complicated to get to Hanyang Univ, you have to get through a secret getaway to get there.
koreans are very nice to foreigners in my opinion! i was once in the subway & i dropped my scarf but i didn't even know. but a korean couple saw & called out for me so i wouldn't forget it
Jimin's Suga Kookie I think it would be okay if just know how to greet properly and act casual! Don't think you're different from them, were all human after all! (we all do have red blood don't we?)
Jimin's Suga Kookie you can take lessons just like i did..im also korean but i wasn't able to speak it fluently before..the lessons will be based on your skills..and its also free..fellow korean would actually be glad to hear that you're learning it again so i recommend it for you too..
I've noticed that when u ask a korean a question about places, they always help you by googling stuff and I find it really nice since they take their time to help you. Thank you, Koreans!
korean people are really helpful, i went there twice last year with a different group. my first time experience where sometime we lost and cant find a way. there will be a nice person asking whether we are okay. did they need to show the way around. when we ride a bus and accidentally sleep. the bus driver nicely said that we reached the destination. and when i try to speak in hangeul. they will praise me for trying. they even give a complimentary soda drink. and sometime when i went to a restaurant, they will automatically said that they only serve seafood, and if they did, they politely shows a restaurant which didnt serve the meat. considering that im a muslim. and we dont eat pork or meat. even the guesthouse we are staying really helpful. there are several time when they cant explain the way, they just take us there. eventhough they in rush. and for that i am grateful for the hospitality. i went there because of their nature and history, we dont have 4seasons here in Malaysia.
from my experience, koreans are suprisingly v v v nice. Especially when it comes to serving food, the ahjummas are very happy. no sulky face, no sighing, just wide smile (even when we request for more kim) and the most beautiful thing is, there are one time we have to perform our prayer but there is no mosque in that area. The ahjumma let us pray in her restaurant. they even lend us their personal room. im very touched, and would love to visit s.korea soon T.T
OMG its cool, that make more happy and make me want to go to korea without worrying about the mosque (maybe), Ils Good to see that people like that existe.
I went to Korea for a week, nicest people I have ever encounter. I got lost finding my way to my hotel and a old woman helped me to get there, even taking me to the door. A random guy ran after a bus that I almost miss on my way to the airport also carrying my luggage. Really helpful and polite in general.
Most of Koreans are super polite. I do not understand why I hear so much shit about them. I think people judge koreans based on a single bad experience.
because there are some japanese and chinese ppl who spread false information about koreans to make them look bad. and sadly, some koreans do the exact same thing about japanese and chinese ppl.
Jazz Gomes stayed in korea for a few months during exchange. They are not all polite. In fact, most of them are not. There are definitely friendly people who are willing to help but well, talking about politeness. Nope most of them are rude.
You can't generalize everyone some are rude some are nice. Don't get it in your head that they're all perfect because they're Korean and don't let the opinions of others influence your opinion negatively. You never know until you visit and find out.
+Loves BTS but not an Army I live in Portugal and I'm in 9th grade, we also learn english. During english class my teacher made us make a dialogue to present in front of the class, while my friends were trying to make their dialogue they said "How are you?" and my friend responded with "Yes". Just because someone learns English at school doesn't mean they know it.
Lee Kai lmao just try to know as much as you can about the places around but despite some rude people (that you may not encounter) its a beautiful city, hope you'll enjoy it~ and good luck learning French!
cyrine dh well yeah I didn't say otherwise but the guy in the video is really picky and it's considered impolite in France so yeah~ if you lost your way ofc they'll help you!
Astro Jay what do you mean MEDIA? dude I've been there TWICE and experienced their culture myself. Yes some of them could be mean, just like anywhere else, I'm aware that there's no such thing as a country full of "angels", that's impossible. But MOST Koreans are really really nice. Jeez 🙄
I met a bunch of korean guys inside a jeep (In the Philippines) They were confused and asking for directions in engrish but no one understand what they were talking about, since i know a little of korean, i spoke to them and they were so nice! They're interested to hear stories, and likes about them and korea. They even ask me to go to nearest convenient store to buy me drinks or snacks lol. we talk inside the jeep, we were very loud and everyone was like, staring at us haha that was memorable experience of mine even tho its not in korea. ㅋㅋㅋ
I just saw your other video with Nalu and like I said before, Korean people are really nice. I'm so glad to see you doing collaborations with other youtubers, Nalu and Juan are great. Loving your videos, keep up the good work.😊✌Saludos amigo from Denver,CO. 🌄🌅⛄
Lol If you knew how to understand the English language, maybe then you can reply without seeming a bit dumb. My comment just says 'if only'. It's youtube and I can state my opinion. You didn't have to get worked up and take it to heart, I didn't mean to offend you.
lol123 you fail to realize that they said "if only every country were like this" you replied "don't be delusional most are" they said they wanted every country to be like this so you saying most are is dumb. lol123 you better sit down because no one asked for your idiocy and rude remarks.
From my own experience... they are very nice (minus that one old guy who told me that i should get out of Korea because we foreigners are demoralizing it,lol...i was just standing and waiting for my friend, wearing long pants and t-shirt...how very not moral). Special shout out to bus drivers who were always super-nice and helpful to me!
Bus drivers are really nice! One time I got lost because I kinda missed my bus stop and ended up in last stop. The driver asked me what's wrong and when I told I was lost and had to get to this one place, driver said that sit in the front and he will say when I should get off (the bus left back to same route).
wow ill be in heaven with bus drivers. here in NYC bus driver are kinda mean they kick old ppl out of the bus and students and some dont bother helping they will literally ignore you. But that's some. maybe 70%
i literally just came back from South Korea and i love it, the people was super nice and welcoming. especially the elderly ladies. Even the ones who couldn't speak much English tried to help me as much as they could.
Thank you so very much for making this video. The internet is flooded with videos telling that Koreans are biased towards people from other countries (except for North Americans) esp. South-east Asia, and towards people with dark skin. I love Korean music and am learning about Korean culture but was scared to visit the country because of my brown skin for the fear of being judged and not being treated fairly by Koreans. This video removed my doubts.
SHIKHA GANGWAR I went to Korea this year and I got lost in the subway in Busan, they were so so nice to me and I could find my way easily after that... also, When I got to Seoul, I was lost again at the train station, and I asked a man who worked in a little cafereria if he knew where I was going, he tried to explain me, but when he saw I didn't unterstand him that well he made me a map ;;; I have a lot of stories like thoses, so, I can assure you that Koreans are really really nice
I have a friend who is Korean and she is one of the sweetest person I met. Genuinely sweet and caring. She gives me a very good impression about Koreans.. I think they are awesome.
As a Korean, I have to tell you something. There are also racists in Korea just like in any other countries. It depends on individual, but the reason why foreigners feel they don't get judged is becuz Koreans don't judge or talk shit about them in front of their face, but instead they talk shit about them behind their back(such as in internet) just like Japanese. So, if there is a foreigner who doesn't know about Korean culture/society, then he might think Koreans are nice in general, While there are tons of racists talking shit about foreigners in the internet.
Among 13 countries that I have traveled to so far, Korean people are the top nicest people that I have ever met. I was lost basically all the time, but whenever I asked for help, people were not even hesitate to show me the way. They were also really polite. One time on the subway, an old lady constantly tried to show me the way in Korean which confused me but I couldn't help laughing at the same time feeling thankful because of her kindness.
Giang-Linh Tran I agree with you also have visit a lot of countries and Korea has been the most helpful and honest since my son left his backpack on the subway and next day they found it with everything in it .
I like the way they just give him his wallet back without thinking about stealing it. They seems to be lovely and respectful, in france you probably have low chance for this to happen aha
In England you'll never even have chance to take anything out of your wallet before some little 12 year old runs off with it. Honestly, it depends on the part of the country, some areas have really bad reputations opposed to some with good ones.
raika oxo there's thieves everywhere I guess lol. In the US i feel like you're less likely to get it returned back to you but there's still good people out there so you never know
When I was in Korea everyone near me tried to help me out, when I asked a question in the subway to one person the other passengers heard me and three strangers tried to help me together :D But whenever I tried to approach an old lady or man they literally ran away from me, which was kind of rude but funny too :D
Korea was very poor just about 30 years ago. Our old generations couldn’t be provided proper education and English classes. Most of our papa and grandpa generations had to farm or work in factories when they were teenagers. I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean to discriminate you or anything but they knew they couldn’t have helped you.
Great video as usual, but I think the title of this experiment is a bit misleading. 1. How is picking up and giving back others' items, ig.wallets, considered "being Nice to Foreigners" just because the subject is non-Korean? Isn't that just how nice Korean people are at helping "others" in general? 2. You will have to consider the language barrier as it can have an effect on people's willingness to help others. Let's say you are given a task in a language you don't know and another in your mother-language. The chances are, you will be more open and willing to solve the task in your mother-language. If you could provide a control for this matter of experiments, not only can it help resolve numerous variables that are common in poorly designed experiments but also provide more confidence and power to the result and conclusion.
Some people wouldn't do that they would pretend that they don't know what you are saying or just take your wallet....there's a lot of people that will take advantage of foreigners!
Koreans are extremely kind and polite if you try your best to show politeness and respect to them. If you seem rude or dangerous, some will not be as helpful or they will try to avoid you to not get into a possible conflict.
Generally Koreans are nice. Unexpectedly, I found Korean elderlies nicer than the younger(late teens/20s) ones. I had good encounters with Korean elderlies that really tried to engage in conversations (I'm still poor at the Korean language so I didn't expect them to be that nice to hold a conversation with me). One grandmother even wanted to invite me to her house 😂 As for younger ones, most of them are fine but a few would quickly walk away from me when they see me trying to approach them to ask for directions 😂 I was going to ask in Korean but I think they were afraid of having to converse in English, but it's fine. Most of the time, I'll meet another Korean who is around 30s/40s who would help me.
Agree, elderly are more friendlier. Younger people 5 yrs ago+ ignore me thinking I was Korean. In recent visits, I think more people are comfortable with the influx of visitors to Korea and will attempt a conversation. Yet I still think people tend to be friendlier after I say I'm not Korean and tell them I'm Canadian, not from China or Japan.
not the same experience! my coworkers (elderly) they are bad as hell.. everyday shouted on us and its bad words!! eventho we didnt do anything wrong.. they are unprofessional while my workmates 20s and 30s are pretty good!
+BTS BOO lol i hope you did not misunderstood me i just said true because i also like korea because of BTS and i hope ur not mad and i hope that i did not offend you in any way 😊 ~
There are nice people in every country, but this video may seem comforting to many. You will never truly know a place until you actually go and experience yourself & have a good mindset. :)
One of the many reason I want to go re-visit Korea is because I want to feel again the warmth of Korean's kindness ! In my experience, once I stepped on their land (during my first few hours in Seoul), no needed ask, they helped me in many various ways! Up until my last hour there, I got help a lot by them

Los coreanos son muy juzgados, tildados como fríos y maleducados (con los extranjeros) pero pienso que hay gente amable en todos lados y este vídeo lo demuestra. saludos desde argentina :) JUAN HERMOSO SIEMPRE
With my experience living in Korea for 6 months, I cant assume that everyone is nice. Every countries, there are those assholes, not everyone is nice, however, majority of Koreans that I've encountered are very friendly and helpful.
I love Korean people. Now, I lived in Korea almost 4 years and traveled around the country. In my experience,most of Korean people are really nice but most of bus drivers are sucks.They are always yelling or they act like a inconvenience face when Asian people ask them to get the information.But,they speak nicely with Europe people.Asian People are human too...
When my mom and I went to Korea, we rode a train and an ahjumma asked us if we are legal in Korea. Like wth. She was insisting that we won't find a job in Korea. We were there just for a vacation and nothing else. She probably saw the Philippine passport of my mom.
I travel to korea last year. The people are so nice. A man was helping me to hold my luggage down from subway stair. I was really touched because at that moment my luggage so heavy as i am going back to my country. When i lost , someone came to me telling where should i go as i am standing confused looking at the sign 😂 it was really a nice experience. Some koreans also stare curiously at me bcoz of my hijab and i just smile to them and when i smile they smile back 😁 even some koreans not good in english, they tried to speak and approach me when i need help. If I have a chance , i would really love to visit again.
In Korea it's very important to help people out and be friendly to everybody and everything, they live so peacefully and are so kind! 😊❤ I really want to go to Korea one day
i think they're really nice! like for instance when i went to korea, once i was just standing by the elevator, and a grandmother/an auntie told me "예쁘다" (pretty) and i was extremely flattered!! haha another instance was when my cousins and i went to hongdae, and we went to eat chocolate covered bananas in this really small place. after we ate, i bowed to the lady who was selling it, and said 감사합니다 (thank you) and was about to walk out, when she got a tissue and wiped the edge of my lip which had a chocolate stain. certainly something i didn't expect, but to sum it up, the people there are so nice and i love it! can't wait to be back :)
A lot of people tell me that Asians don't like foreigners (especially black people ) however videos such as this ALWAYS prove them wrong. I REALLY enjoy videos like this.
The Korean guy who were asked about the restaurant has can say English words really well. And I wish these helpful people are not just in Korean but in every corner of the world.
Koreans are nice to foreigners like me. When I was travelling in Seoul, the people are very kind to teach me the directions, they even find it on the google map or waze, if they can't explain it well in english, they just tell me to follow them and they will go with me to the place I am looking for. Very kind people 😊
i think in every place there are some people who have good side n evil side as well. no matter it's korea or any other countries.. so, just see the positive n the good side of those places
I'm going to Korea next year for my graduation but I'm so nervous since I'm a ton skinned Mexican/Filipino girl. I know slightly some Korean but the only languages I'm really proficient in are Spanish and English. I will try to learn more but I'm afraid to get lost and I'm also afraid I may experience discrimination or people being annoyed with me asking them questions. If any of you have tips for me for when I go to Korea (places to see, things I must know) it would be greatly appreciated.
I've been to Korea and I rarely get lost...it's really easy to get to places just by using navigation(and if you have a Samsung phone, using Google maps). Google maps tells me what train I have to take and to what destination and such Lol. also there's a lot of English speaking (young) Koreans because as of now, English I'd being taught in school so no worries~
HI there :) i just came back from my trip to Asia and i passed by SK :) and trust me the subway station is so easy to use and the apps definitely help out a lot :) ~~~ and i am mexican american and honestly i was afraid i was going to be treated differently because of my color skin and I was actually with a group of other Latinas and trust me! they are so nice n_n i appreciated when they help us even if we knew VERY LITTLE korean they still tried :)
there is less discrimination in korea than anywhere in north america. 99.99% of koreans arent racist towards someone in public even if some of them were to actually have racist views.
If you really need someone's help for directions, I suggest you ask them in korean language, they'll feel a lot more comfortable to explain to you 😊 just know basic words like "where is (the place you wanna go)" or "where is the nearest subway station" "which exit should I take" and also some words when you order food and pay for stuff. Don't worry, they'd try their best to help you. 😊
When someone I don't know randomly comes up to me and asks me a question, race doesn't even come to mind for me... I don't get why people should be judged just for their race
lmao in South Africa we also love helping foreigners and we'd actually walk you all the way to your destination but like I wouldn't recommend dropping a wallet coz it'll be gone in a matter of seconds 🤕
i studied in Korea for a year and a half and have been going back twice every year cause people there are so nice i have a group of friends that i do meet regularly when I'm in Seoul. At the start, i think it was only difficult cause of the language barriers, but that's a problem on my side since i am in their country, but Koreans (admittedly not everyone but like 95% of them) are so helpful and understanding. What really touched me was how no matter how hard and frustrating it must've been to explain stuff to me, they still tried their hardest to actually be of any help. I love this country and the people. This video showed like .0002% of how nice in general the reaction and approach of Koreans to foreigners in their country. I made actual real life friends that i stay in contact with and they always, always talk to me first to ask how i was and when i'm visiting. I may not be of a "foreigner" standard in Korea anymore but they still treat me as so and is still so understanding at times of cultural differences. i do think that Korea is starting to be more openminded about /SOME/ stuff and that's great.
Koreans are nice,,when I was bought snack in jeju,, i ask the price to ahjumma in a Korean language,,she said that I spoke really good,because she can understand,,and when i went to coffee shop with my parents to meet some relatives there,suddenly we want to take a photo together,and when my dad asking two young people who sit next to me,they help us with a smile,, well yeah, I've heard from my friend who live in Korea,she said it's true Korean people don't like some certain foreigner,,I don't mean to be racist in here,,but she said they don't like Chinese people
I was lost in Hongdae, it was so hot and I had over 30kg of luggage on me. I kinda started crying because I was jet-lagged and stressed but this man saw me distressed and helped me. He carried my luggage for me and took me to the hotel. I will always be thankful, it's such a shame that I didn't get his name or contact details.

Nice man, that's cool! What about us lightskin brothas? You think Koreans would be freaked out about biracial folk walkin up in there? lol
And lots of Americans are making fun of Asians especially north asians such as Chinese in America.

korean people are really helpful, i went there twice last year with a different group. my first time experience where sometime we lost and cant find a way. there will be a nice person asking whether we are okay. did they need to show the way around. when we ride a bus and accidentally sleep. the bus driver nicely said that we reached the destination. and when i try to speak in hangeul. they will praise me for trying. they even give a complimentary soda drink. and sometime when i went to a restaurant, they will automatically said that they only serve seafood, and if they did, they politely shows a restaurant which didnt serve the meat. considering that im a muslim. and we dont eat pork or meat. even the guesthouse we are staying really helpful. there are several time when they cant explain the way, they just take us there. eventhough they in rush. and for that i am grateful for the hospitality. i went there because of their nature and history, we dont have 4seasons here in Malaysia.
*if they did serve meat.* correction
Rieyah Jamil
It's okay to eat their meat if they were (Christians or Jews only).. it's not haram.
Rieyah Jamil this is so out of topic but can I just say that your profile pic is so cute?!^^
from my experience, koreans are suprisingly v v v nice. Especially when it comes to serving food, the ahjummas are very happy. no sulky face, no sighing, just wide smile (even when we request for more kim) and the most beautiful thing is, there are one time we have to perform our prayer but there is no mosque in that area. The ahjumma let us pray in her restaurant. they even lend us their personal room. im very touched, and would love to visit s.korea soon T.T
that was so sweet to read thanks for sharing your experience!
OMG its cool, that make more happy and make me want to go to korea without worrying about the mosque (maybe), Ils Good to see that people like that existe.
I'm sorry to sound ignorant but I'm curious, what's a mosque ?
+Ingrid trbl its a place where muslim people pray and don't worry its okay to not know😁😊
aww, that sounds so nice :^)

You can't generalize everyone some are rude some are nice. Don't get it in your head that they're all perfect because they're Korean and don't let the opinions of others influence your opinion negatively. You never know until you visit and find out.
the foreigner guy is extremely awkward omg, "walking i like walking"
It's because he's not fluent in English
i like walking too
ikr xD
It's like me except I know fluent English 😂
he was acting, i know him (in youtube) and he speak korean and english very well, obviously not perfect because he speaks spanish, regards!! :)
I was in Korea just last October and most people are really willing to help even if some were having hard time speaking in english... I love Korea!
i know most koreans know english really well but they always seem to think that they aren't very good at it
Ninisw33t they learn english at school
Loves BTS but not an Army lol i learned spanish but i bearly passed
+Loves BTS but not an Army I live in Portugal and I'm in 9th grade, we also learn english. During english class my teacher made us make a dialogue to present in front of the class, while my friends were trying to make their dialogue they said "How are you?" and my friend responded with "Yes". Just because someone learns English at school doesn't mean they know it.
Ivet Georgieva - Stan BTS/EXO/Monsta X what i meant to say is that alot of koreans who are good at english think they are bad at it.
Ninisw33t I was responding to loves bts but not an army's comment. I do agree with you, koreans tend to underestimate their english skills.
lol dont ask that much questions in Paris, ppl will find you pretty annoying (even if they don't show it)
i guess korean are just really nice lol
Aya, really? Good thing you mentioned it...I'm from London but we learn French here at school so I'm planning to go to Paris and getting lost 😁
Lee Kai lmao just try to know as much as you can about the places around but despite some rude people (that you may not encounter) its a beautiful city, hope you'll enjoy it~ and good luck learning French!
Aya people in paris are really kind, they helped me alot when i first went there
cyrine dh well yeah I didn't say otherwise but the guy in the video is really picky and it's considered impolite in France so yeah~ if you lost your way ofc they'll help you!
i'm from Paris and i'm not impolite... You're pretty rude...😒
Koreans are amazingly helpful people. They're so kind, it touches my heart 😭💕

Diviya Arikrishnan they are so helpful that sometimes that can be a little annoying Bxbdbs
Astro Jay what do you mean MEDIA? dude I've been there TWICE and experienced their culture myself. Yes some of them could be mean, just like anywhere else, I'm aware that there's no such thing as a country full of "angels", that's impossible. But MOST Koreans are really really nice. Jeez 🙄
I met a bunch of korean guys inside a jeep (In the Philippines) They were confused and asking for directions in engrish but no one understand what they were talking about, since i know a little of korean, i spoke to them and they were so nice! They're interested to hear stories, and likes about them and korea. They even ask me to go to nearest convenient store to buy me drinks or snacks lol. we talk inside the jeep, we were very loud and everyone was like, staring at us haha that was memorable experience of mine even tho its not in korea. ㅋㅋㅋ
omg haha

Hi.I have a question... exist sexual abuse in the korean streets?
I just saw your other video with Nalu and like I said before, Korean people are really nice. I'm so glad to see you doing collaborations with other youtubers, Nalu and Juan are great. Loving your videos, keep up the good work.😊✌Saludos amigo from Denver,CO. 🌄🌅⛄
jay ur my crush 💕💕💕
Now if only every country were like this haha
+lol123 they said every not most
+liz he's obviously from Somalia.

Lol If you knew how to understand the English language, maybe then you can reply without seeming a bit dumb. My comment just says 'if only'. It's youtube and I can state my opinion. You didn't have to get worked up and take it to heart, I didn't mean to offend you.
lol123 you fail to realize that they said "if only every country were like this" you replied "don't be delusional most are" they said they wanted every country to be like this so you saying most are is dumb. lol123 you better sit down because no one asked for your idiocy and rude remarks.
From my own experience... they are very nice (minus that one old guy who told me that i should get out of Korea because we foreigners are demoralizing it,lol...i was just standing and waiting for my friend, wearing long pants and t-shirt...how very not moral). Special shout out to bus drivers who were always super-nice and helpful to me!
+Dada agreed 👍🏼
+Dada true
yeah theyre like the minority of the minority. Most koreans as in 99.99% of Koreans dont think like that guy he is one of the .01%
Bus drivers are really nice! One time I got lost because I kinda missed my bus stop and ended up in last stop. The driver asked me what's wrong and when I told I was lost and had to get to this one place, driver said that sit in the front and he will say when I should get off (the bus left back to same route).
wow ill be in heaven with bus drivers. here in NYC bus driver are kinda mean they kick old ppl out of the bus and students and some dont bother helping they will literally ignore you. But that's some. maybe 70%
it's not about being nice to foreigners it's about being nice to people in general
Niamh Ellen O' Connell they are nice in general seriously
korean one of the kindest and helpful people on earth... their heart is so pure and kind.
i literally just came back from South Korea and i love it, the people was super nice and welcoming. especially the elderly ladies. Even the ones who couldn't speak much English tried to help me as much as they could.
Thank you so very much for making this video. The internet is flooded with videos telling that Koreans are biased towards people from other countries (except for North Americans) esp. South-east Asia, and towards people with dark skin.
I love Korean music and am learning about Korean culture but was scared to visit the country because of my brown skin for the fear of being judged and not being treated fairly by Koreans.
This video removed my doubts.
SHIKHA GANGWAR me too.. let's go together.. hahah
shubhada priyadarshini i'm coming too
SHIKHA GANGWAR I went to Korea this year and I got lost in the subway in Busan, they were so so nice to me and I could find my way easily after that... also, When I got to Seoul, I was lost again at the train station, and I asked a man who worked in a little cafereria if he knew where I was going, he tried to explain me, but when he saw I didn't unterstand him that well he made me a map ;;;
I have a lot of stories like thoses, so, I can assure you that Koreans are really really nice
I have a friend who is Korean and she is one of the sweetest person I met. Genuinely sweet and caring. She gives me a very good impression about Koreans.. I think they are awesome.
As a Korean, I have to tell you something.
There are also racists in Korea just like in any other countries.
It depends on individual, but the reason why foreigners feel they don't get judged is becuz Koreans don't judge or talk shit about them in front of their face, but instead they talk shit about them behind their back(such as in internet) just like Japanese.
So, if there is a foreigner who doesn't know about Korean culture/society, then he might think Koreans are nice in general,
While there are tons of racists talking shit about foreigners in the internet.
Among 13 countries that I have traveled to so far, Korean people are the top nicest people that I have ever met. I was lost basically all the time, but whenever I asked for help, people were not even hesitate to show me the way. They were also really polite. One time on the subway, an old lady constantly tried to show me the way in Korean which confused me but I couldn't help laughing at the same time feeling thankful because of her kindness.
Giang-Linh Tran I agree with you also have visit a lot of countries and Korea has been the most helpful and honest since my son left his backpack on the subway and next day they found it with everything in it .

Koreans are one of the best people i know. Didnt wana go back after 1 week stay in korea. 😊
I like the way they just give him his wallet back without thinking about stealing it. They seems to be lovely and respectful, in france you probably have low chance for this to happen aha
HeyKorea100 c'est certain meme je me suis faite voler y'a 3 jours !
Just A French person Il n'y a plus la notion de respect ou valeur .. c'etait ton téléphone ? ton porte monnaie ?
Same in india.. Once u drop something.. U wont get it back EVER
In England you'll never even have chance to take anything out of your wallet before some little 12 year old runs off with it. Honestly, it depends on the part of the country, some areas have really bad reputations opposed to some with good ones.
Cosmic Phoenix 😂😂
Philippines has very nice and cheerful people. they'll help you anytime but if you drop your wallet you won't see it ever again :/
Na Na lol
Na Na 😂 Same in my country
they gladly pick the dropped wallet for them
raika oxo there's thieves everywhere I guess lol. In the US i feel like you're less likely to get it returned back to you but there's still good people out there so you never know
@Jim-In Got No Jam screw indonesia. That Country is full of scammers and hackers
I knew it 😎 i love korea and korean people ❤️ 항국 최고 👍🏽
Same ❤️❤️ they're really nice
+Simply Kpop 항국no 한국 ㅋㅋ

아 그렇네욬ㅋㅋ죄송합니다
When I was in Korea everyone near me tried to help me out, when I asked a question in the subway to one person the other passengers heard me and three strangers tried to help me together :D But whenever I tried to approach an old lady or man they literally ran away from me, which was kind of rude but funny too :D
Venus Gunes maybe they were afraid of speaking English :( not all of Koreans act like that tho
Korea was very poor just about 30 years ago. Our old generations couldn’t be provided proper education and English classes. Most of our papa and grandpa generations had to farm or work in factories when they were teenagers. I’m pretty sure they didn’t mean to discriminate you or anything but they knew they couldn’t have helped you.
They are the most respectful people.

Great video as usual, but I think the title of this experiment is a bit misleading.
1. How is picking up and giving back others' items, ig.wallets, considered "being Nice to Foreigners" just because the subject is non-Korean? Isn't that just how nice Korean people are at helping "others" in general?
2. You will have to consider the language barrier as it can have an effect on people's willingness to help others. Let's say you are given a task in a language you don't know and another in your mother-language. The chances are, you will be more open and willing to solve the task in your mother-language. If you could provide a control for this matter of experiments, not only can it help resolve numerous variables that are common in poorly designed experiments but also provide more confidence and power to the result and conclusion.
+TheAngelsDying Thank you so much for the advise. I really appreciate it 🙏🏻
Some people wouldn't do that they would pretend that they don't know what you are saying or just take your wallet....there's a lot of people that will take advantage of foreigners!
+JAYKEEOUT i guess u can do a similar experiement with a korean actor
TheAngelsDying
TheAngelsDying naw u drop ur wallet in the us. its grtting taken no ones going out their way to tell u
koreans are nice in real life but when their own social media they slander you
/whispers/ knetz
Hahhahahaah Yesssss True 😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂😂 so true
Pann and Inztis
white people are worst imo

I see nothing but friendly, helpful, honest people.... with warm smiles
watching this really makes me want to go to korea c:
Levi SAME
Koreans are extremely kind and polite if you try your best to show politeness and respect to them. If you seem rude or dangerous, some will not be as helpful or they will try to avoid you to not get into a possible conflict.
Generally Koreans are nice. Unexpectedly, I found Korean elderlies nicer than the younger(late teens/20s) ones.
I had good encounters with Korean elderlies that really tried to engage in conversations (I'm still poor at the Korean language so I didn't expect them to be that nice to hold a conversation with me). One grandmother even wanted to invite me to her house 😂
As for younger ones, most of them are fine but a few would quickly walk away from me when they see me trying to approach them to ask for directions 😂 I was going to ask in Korean but I think they were afraid of having to converse in English, but it's fine. Most of the time, I'll meet another Korean who is around 30s/40s who would help me.
Agree, elderly are more friendlier. Younger people 5 yrs ago+ ignore me thinking I was Korean. In recent visits, I think more people are comfortable with the influx of visitors to Korea and will attempt a conversation. Yet I still think people tend to be friendlier after I say I'm not Korean and tell them I'm Canadian, not from China or Japan.
not the same experience! my coworkers (elderly) they are bad as hell.. everyday shouted on us and its bad words!! eventho we didnt do anything wrong.. they are unprofessional while my workmates 20s and 30s are pretty good!
i love korea for 2 reasons
1. they are good people
2. and bts live there
True 😂
i don't only like bts i like other groups bts is just my favourite group
also if you don't have anything nice to say don't talk at all
+BTS BOO lol i hope you did not misunderstood me i just said true because i also like korea because of BTS and i hope ur not mad and i hope that i did not offend you in any way 😊 ~
R World 17 i am not ofended i was a bit taken back
There are nice people in every country, but this video may seem comforting to many. You will never truly know a place until you actually go and experience yourself & have a good mindset. :)
I love Korea. Because. it's because people are really friendiy♡
Please come hang out in South Korea.
I definitely will :)
소신 ugh I want to live there!!! ❤
소신 is it real that some of them hates muslim?..
Aliah Uzma yes
What if there's a foreigner wearing a hijab? Would that make any difference lol Just wondering
i'm curious too, maybe they should try the experiment with hijab girl oneday... wanna see the reaction..
I don't think it is as impactful in Asia as in the US or Europe
Devi Apriyanti yeah same
Megu X most probably i think
My korean friends that I encountered to are all kind! No matter you wear hijab or not :)
This makes me feel a lot better bc tomorrow I have to take the subway and bus alone in Korea without my cell phone lol~~
Good luck! ♥
How did it went?
+Francis Rachadell Good! the store clerks were really friendly when she realised I couldn't speak Korean very well :D so cute~
+Jiwon nie That's nice!
+Jiwon nie 한국인 이면서 한국말 왜 못한다는거지.. 영어문장도 원어민 스럽지 읺은데 풉.
koreans are really really nice.. i feel so loved when i went there for vacation.. i even got lost there! and i love it!
One of the many reason I want to go re-visit Korea is because I want to feel again the warmth of Korean's kindness !
In my experience, once I stepped on their land (during my first few hours in Seoul), no needed ask, they helped me in many various ways! Up until my last hour there, I got help a lot by them
Omg they're such nice people i wish everyone was nice like them in my country too
Juan is Hispanic right ? I'm asking cuz he looks a lot more Indian
He's from Colombia
Ah
Ashley Brooks :"v I'm Colombian i didn't know that we looked like Indian
laura daniela even I also think he's indian he looks pretty much like indian
No way. I didn't hear his name cause I skipped over that part and I totally thought he was Indian.
I've watched it, now go away from my recommendations...
lol I feel ya with many recommended kpop videos. Ugh. You could have clicked "Not interested" like I've been doing.
Unravel I don't even get that option haha!
Jessi G Are you sure? If you're using PC, hover above the video you don't want to see, and three grey stacked boxes should appear on bottom right side next to the title of the video you don't want to see. Click on it and "Not Interested" option should appear. If you're on mobile, just press and hold on the video until options pop up.
Unravel I use a tablet lol. I need to invest in a computer xD
Jessi G xD lol. I'm sure it works the same with mobile. Just press and hold until pop up and there should be an option for it.
Los coreanos son muy juzgados, tildados como fríos y maleducados (con los extranjeros) pero pienso que hay gente amable en todos lados y este vídeo lo demuestra. saludos desde argentina :) JUAN HERMOSO SIEMPRE
Some Koreans are kind, and they help foreigners even locals :) I'm happy to see this video 💕
It's good to know they're kind! 💙 I knew from the very beginning but ahh my heart just grew fonder watching this.
With my experience living in Korea for 6 months, I cant assume that everyone is nice. Every countries, there are those assholes, not everyone is nice, however, majority of Koreans that I've encountered are very friendly and helpful.
롯데리아 의문의 1패 ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ
I love Korean people. Now, I lived in Korea almost 4 years and traveled around the country. In my experience,most of Korean people are really nice but most of bus drivers are sucks.They are always yelling or they act like a inconvenience face when Asian people ask them to get the information.But,they speak nicely with Europe people.Asian People are human too...
wow lovely people and very humble Koreans💗
I am so so happy to see that!!!😀😀🙆🙆🙆 Now i love korean people more and more❤
I love Koreans, there accent, Kdramas and Lee Min Ho 😍😍😍
Seemran Sahoo I love tae tae
Seemran Sahoo even I love Lee min Ho
When my mom and I went to Korea, we rode a train and an ahjumma asked us if we are legal in Korea. Like wth. She was insisting that we won't find a job in Korea. We were there just for a vacation and nothing else. She probably saw the Philippine passport of my mom.
I travel to korea last year. The people are so nice. A man was helping me to hold my luggage down from subway stair. I was really touched because at that moment my luggage so heavy as i am going back to my country. When i lost , someone came to me telling where should i go as i am standing confused looking at the sign 😂 it was really a nice experience. Some koreans also stare curiously at me bcoz of my hijab and i just smile to them and when i smile they smile back 😁 even some koreans not good in english, they tried to speak and approach me when i need help. If I have a chance , i would really love to visit again.
In Korea it's very important to help people out and be friendly to everybody and everything, they live so peacefully and are so kind! 😊❤ I really want to go to Korea one day
Aww they're so kind and helpful
i think they're really nice! like for instance when i went to korea, once i was just standing by the elevator, and a grandmother/an auntie told me "예쁘다" (pretty) and i was extremely flattered!! haha another instance was when my cousins and i went to hongdae, and we went to eat chocolate covered bananas in this really small place. after we ate, i bowed to the lady who was selling it, and said 감사합니다 (thank you) and was about to walk out, when she got a tissue and wiped the edge of my lip which had a chocolate stain. certainly something i didn't expect, but to sum it up, the people there are so nice and i love it! can't wait to be back :)
A lot of people tell me that Asians don't like foreigners (especially black people ) however videos such as this ALWAYS prove them wrong. I REALLY enjoy videos like this.
Well some don't and some do. They are just people in the end.
Xelestial that's true
+Terra Sober that makes sense. Actually that explains a lot.
It sounds pretty stereotypical for me.
Very nice people!!!!
I can't believe it Juan is here!! I love his UA-cam Chanel he is from Colombia ❤️❤️
am impressed with koreans..they have a very proper and polite attitude... GODBLESS korean people
Im so use to language barriers. Its fun to explain with hand gestures.
That's why I wanna move to Korea everyone is so nice and they respect everyone
The Korean guy who were asked about the restaurant has can say English words really well. And I wish these helpful people are not just in Korean but in every corner of the world.
I hope for you there are a lot of helpful people. That would be nice.
They're so kind!
Koreans are nice to foreigners like me. When I was travelling in Seoul, the people are very kind to teach me the directions, they even find it on the google map or waze, if they can't explain it well in english, they just tell me to follow them and they will go with me to the place I am looking for. Very kind people 😊
i think in every place there are some people who have good side n evil side as well. no matter it's korea or any other countries.. so, just see the positive n the good side of those places
I'm going to Korea next year for my graduation but I'm so nervous since I'm a ton skinned Mexican/Filipino girl. I know slightly some Korean but the only languages I'm really proficient in are Spanish and English. I will try to learn more but I'm afraid to get lost and I'm also afraid I may experience discrimination or people being annoyed with me asking them questions. If any of you have tips for me for when I go to Korea (places to see, things I must know) it would be greatly appreciated.
I've been to Korea and I rarely get lost...it's really easy to get to places just by using navigation(and if you have a Samsung phone, using Google maps). Google maps tells me what train I have to take and to what destination and such Lol. also there's a lot of English speaking (young) Koreans because as of now, English I'd being taught in school so no worries~
HI there :) i just came back from my trip to Asia and i passed by SK :) and trust me the subway station is so easy to use and the apps definitely help out a lot :) ~~~ and i am mexican american and honestly i was afraid i was going to be treated differently because of my color skin and I was actually with a group of other Latinas and trust me! they are so nice n_n i appreciated when they help us even if we knew VERY LITTLE korean they still tried :)
there is less discrimination in korea than anywhere in north america. 99.99% of koreans arent racist towards someone in public even if some of them were to actually have racist views.
If you really need someone's help for directions, I suggest you ask them in korean language, they'll feel a lot more comfortable to explain to you 😊 just know basic words like "where is (the place you wanna go)" or "where is the nearest subway station" "which exit should I take" and also some words when you order food and pay for stuff. Don't worry, they'd try their best to help you. 😊
HelloMyNamelsBanana I have seen many black ppl getting discriminated at korea
I dont know why, but this video gave me the courage to go to Korea.
So nice! Thanks for doing this video!
The second guy was just SOOOOOOOOO kind, he really tried his best to be helpful, omg
When someone I don't know randomly comes up to me and asks me a question, race doesn't even come to mind for me... I don't get why people should be judged just for their race
that foreigner guy was soo cute.
lmao in South Africa we also love helping foreigners and we'd actually walk you all the way to your destination but like I wouldn't recommend dropping a wallet coz it'll be gone in a matter of seconds 🤕
i studied in Korea for a year and a half and have been going back twice every year cause people there are so nice i have a group of friends that i do meet regularly when I'm in Seoul.
At the start, i think it was only difficult cause of the language barriers, but that's a problem on my side since i am in their country, but Koreans (admittedly not everyone but like 95% of them) are so helpful and understanding. What really touched me was how no matter how hard and frustrating it must've been to explain stuff to me, they still tried their hardest to actually be of any help. I love this country and the people. This video showed like .0002% of how nice in general the reaction and approach of Koreans to foreigners in their country. I made actual real life friends that i stay in contact with and they always, always talk to me first to ask how i was and when i'm visiting. I may not be of a "foreigner" standard in Korea anymore but they still treat me as so and is still so understanding at times of cultural differences. i do think that Korea is starting to be more openminded about /SOME/ stuff and that's great.
Juan me apareces hasta en la sopa... todos los canales que veo estas tuuuuu! te amo
Korean people are so nice
I see.... dogs (I love dogs) I'm just looking at them
I see a fellow ARMY..... I love ARMY XD

Yes absolutely!!! They are so polite and kind:) would definitely visit Korea again:)
¡Desde Puerto Rico! Juan: Me sorprendi al verte en el video. Estoy siguiendo tus videos. Y ahora de Jaykeeout. !Bendiciones!
Koreans are nice,,when I was bought snack in jeju,, i ask the price to ahjumma in a Korean language,,she said that I spoke really good,because she can understand,,and when i went to coffee shop with my parents to meet some relatives there,suddenly we want to take a photo together,and when my dad asking two young people who sit next to me,they help us with a smile,, well yeah, I've heard from my friend who live in Korea,she said it's true Korean people don't like some certain foreigner,,I don't mean to be racist in here,,but she said they don't like Chinese people
Please try this to Filipinos! :) I wanna see how it goes
yess exactly what i was thinking
Meaning? as in see how Koreans respond to Filipinos?
Yasss haha
Filipino's are the nicest people ever, and I don't even understand why. It seems humanly impossible to be as nice as a Filipino.
Proud Filipino! I hope you'll get to talk with the nicest people here. =)))))
2 reasons I love Korea
1. They are always helping
2. Exo live there
They were all very helpful! Very Nice People. Polite..Love that.😀
