- How To Protect Your Image In Seoul South Korea.
Living In Seoul South Korea comes with many perks as a foreigner, however, there are some foreigners who come here and do no respect Korean culture, rules, or laws. I think foreigners who come to live in or visit Seoul South Korea and do not respect the laws of the country, can make it difficult for other foreigners to come to the city and country to live. Francois Marc details how and why protecting your image in South Korea is the best way to make your stay here in the country enjoyable.

I am 70 years old grandmother, and let me tell you, your parents should be proud cause they raise wonderful young man❤
Wow...Thank you so much for this touching comment! It really did bring some tears to my eyes! My grandparents raised me, but they are gone now:( I'm sure they would have been very pleased with your comment!!♡♡♡
We need more Francois in this world.
@@ndychung007 This is the first message I'm seeing this morning. Thank you so much for this:)
As a American Black 🖤 Woman I was there in Korea in 2019' right before the Pandemic Hit!! And one thing I tell people about Korea is that it's a Homogenous Society!! Now having said that theirs a lot of cultures and traditions that go along with the locals there and respecting their society!! My experience there was phenomenal 🔥!! I was treated extremely well by Koreans!! Everyone I came in contact with was helpful to me as I certainly got lost a few times 🤣🤣🤣!! But they definitely went out of their way to show me a Amazing Time 💗!! And for that I call Korea my "Home Away From Home" Good Video and Thanks for Sharing 🙏🏽
Thanks for the positive comment about your experiences in Korea! You seem very bright and optimistic. Glad to have your comment!!
I just got back from Korea two weeks ago. granted I was only there for two weeks. I made sure to be very respectful and follow the rules. Yes I carried my garbage with me till I got to a place where I could properly throw it away. I said thank you in Hangul every chance I got. And I at least tried to speak what little Korean I knew. When I couldn't figure out the train cards, someone just jumped in and helped me. A few people would try to help me when I looked lost. Overall I had a pleasant experience that I should love to go back.
I think also as a Black Woman, I really wanted to leave a good impression.
Thank you for that:) For foreigners in general, it's important to leave a good impression wherever one travels. As a Black man in Korea, its especially important because of the various stereotypes some people may adhere to us. As a Black woman, I'm sure you understand. That being said, you sound like a very respectable person. Thanks for leaving a good impression for us here in Korea!
I think the same goes for all countries. If you go to another country accept that they do things differently and speak differently. Respect the culture and people of the country you are visiting or living in. Korea is a beautiful country and the people are so friendly. Looking forward to returning next year.
Agreed. Respect the culture and laws where you go and there should be minimum problems interacting with the locals. Hope you come back soon to visit lovely Korea!
I'm really impressed by how respectful you are toward Korean culture. Your understanding is on another level. Keep making these awesome videos - I totally love them!
Hey, thanks so much!!! I try my best!!:)
OMG well spoken!!!! thank you so much for respecting Korea! I have so many foreigner friends that do not respect the country, and try to do things that are not allowed! I have been trying to teach them about this and your video will be perfect for that! I have lived abroad for ten years, and i totally agree with you on everything that you have said! Thank you for this video! ❤
Hey, thanks for the comment! Oh, you have foreigner friends who don't respect your country, they may I ask why they are your friends? It's interesting to know:) I think respect for everyone is very important, wherever we go. However, because I live in Korea, and greatly benefit from living here, it is my job to shine the spotlight on respecting Korea a little moreㅋㅋㅋㅋ thanks for adding value to this content!!:)
I loved Korea when i was there in M arch i went to Glory Seoul eye clinic for cataract surgery and these people are so top notch Professional i am thinking of coming again for anti-aging surgery . God Bless and Protect Korea and Japan
The medical practices here are crazy good! It's one of the reasons why I can't go back to the States. I heard there is a law to change the price of some medical practices here, but I hope it isn't true:(
한국에 오셔서 한국사회에 적응하고 이해하며 잘 살고자 노력하는 모습이 너무 보기 좋습니다. 한국은 개인주의보다 공동체 집단주의가 더 많습니다. 개인주의도 있지만 남에게 피해를 주는것을 못봐줍니다. 이점을 이해하고 적응하시면 배려심 많은 한국사회를 경험하실것이고 매우 편안한 생활을 하실것입니다. 한국생활을 응원하고 행복하시길 바랍니다.
Thank you for your well-balanced comment. It is a very reasonable opinion. I'll do my best to continue to live well here:) Your support is greatly appreciated:)
어느나라를 가든 서로의 문화와 그 나라 자국민을 존중하는 마음을 가지고 법안에서 행동하면 문제가 없습니다
I absolutely agree! Give respect, get respect, wherever you are!
I totally agree. People in countries like Korea don't have much exposure to situation where people from extremely diverse backgrounds interact. People from US criticize them for being 'racist', but calling them 'racist' because they don't follow 'woke' 'D&I' protocols, to me, is a form of discrimination. Because having chance to grow up or interact with people of diverse backgrounds and having the chance to be educated about it at school or work is a form of privilege. How to interact 'properly' around different races or cultures in places like the US is a trained skill from being told or observing others since young. So calling those people without this form of privilege just pure racist isn't fair.
I like this comment a lot. Your reasoning is solid. Nothing for me to add but thank you:)
미안하지만 친구, 자네의 말은 날 웃게 만들어. 다양한 사람과 교류하는 방법? 프로토콜? 특권? 미국이 말이지? 친구, 내가 말해줄께, 한국에 그런 프로토콜이 없는 이유, 그런 방법을 따로 가르치지 않는 이유를 말야. 그건 한국에서는 50년전에 특정한 인종은 버스에서 따로 앉아야 한다거나 화장실을 따로 이용해야한다거나 하는 룰이 존재하지 않았기 때문이야. 그런 건 단 한번도 존재하지 않았어. 한국에 말야, 미국은 지난 시기의 문제들을 바로 잡기위해 새로운 규칙을 만든것 뿐이야. 우리는 아프리카에 침공해서 그들을 식민지로 삼아 지배하고 착취한 적이 없었기 때문에 아프리카 식민지 국가 출신 사람들에게 우리 국가의 시민권을 부여하고 국민들에게 인종간 차별이 있어서는 안된다고 떠들어댈 필요가 없어. 프랑스처럼 말이야. 한국과 같은 다른나라 대해서 차별에 관해 항상 문제를 제기하는 유럽이나 미국인들 그리고 그 정부들이 있지만. 유럽국가나 미국은 인종간의 또 종교간의 문제가 폭력과 전쟁까지 지속적으로 터져나오는 곳이야. 유럽의 많은 나라의 거리에서는 오늘날에도 동양인 여행객을 모욕하는 소위 부유한 서구 국가의 현지 선진국 시민권자들이 널리고 널렸어. 몇년전 미국 도시들이 폭동으로 불타오른건 벌써 잊은거야? BLM은? 교류하는 방법? 프로토콜? 특권? 이봐 친구, 나 좀 그만 웃기렴. 서울에서 벨기에인이 인격적인 모멸감을 느낄 확률은 한국인이 브뤼셀에서 그것을 당할 확률보다 훨씬 적어. 이제는 K- WAVE 때문에 한국인이 모든곳에서 대접을 잘 받지만. 네가 다양한 문화를 배우고 교류하는 방법을 안다는 미국은 말야, 교수님이 강의하는 중에도 그걸 듣는 학생은 앞 사람 의자에 다리를 올리고 듣고, 대부분의 지역에서 밤에는 위험해서 잠시 집밖에 다니기도 어려운 나라야. 그래서, 그런 이유로 인해 한국의 대다수 국민들은 너희들이 말하는 다양한 민족과 문화의 융합이란 문제 제기에 관심이 없어. 만일 너희가 한국에 여행을 오면 친구로서 환대 받을 것이고, 직장을 위해 얼마의 기간동안 와서 이웃이나 동료가 된다면 좀더 특별한 배려를 받게될 것이며, 만약 네가 한국인과 결혼을 하게 된다면 그 어렵다는 외국인이 한국인들의 가족의 일원으로 받아들여지겠지만, 다른곳의 "문화를 한국의 문화와 혼합해야만 해" 라든가, "한국인에게 낯선 종교도 한국은 적극적으로 받아들여야 한다" 라고 하면 너는 곧바로 배척당하게 될거야. 그건 이슬람을 믿는 새로온 이주민 때문에 한국에 사는 한국인이 한국에서 돼지고기를 못먹게 되는 일은 결코 생기지 않을거란 얘기이고, 그게 한국인의 사회를 보는 올바른 방식이야. 왜냐하면 이슬람을 믿지않는 한국인이라도 술이 금지된 중동 국가에 들어가면 그 룰을 존중해서 불만을 표하고 "돼지고기를 먹는 문화를 받아들이라"고 말하는 대신 그냥 그곳에서는 술을 마시지 않거든. 너와 비슷한 생각을 하는 사람들은 먼저 모든 국가와 민족이 다른 역사와 배경으로 오늘날 각자의 지점에서 다양한 환경 속에 존재하고 있다는 전제부터 먼저 인정하도록 해. 그게 네가 말한 다양한 문화와 소통하는 진짜 모습이니까. 너의 배경, 너 만의 배경과 환경을 너와 먼곳에 떨어져서 존재하는 전혀 다른 문화속의 사람들이 너의 생각을 똑같이 받아들이고 또 따라야 한다는 건, 말 그대로 네가 우월감에 빠진 현대판 제국주의자거나 아니면 그냥 멍청이거나 일테니까. 너의 생각은 모순되고 또 위선이 담겨있지. 나는 네 말한대로 네가 다양성과 소통하는 교육을 이미 받았을거로 생각해서, 이 글을 한국어로 적었어. 미국인들이(영어 사용자) 이제 다른 언어의 영화 자막을 읽는데 익숙해져야 하는것처럼(기생충 처럼) 자네도 한국어 사용자가 너에게 영어로 말할것을 기대하지말고 번역기를 사용해서 스스로 소통하도록 노력을 해봐. 그게 진정한 수준의 동등한 문화 교류이고 다른 문화간의 네가 말한 "올바르게" 소통하는 방법이니까 . 만약 구글 번역앱이 완전하지 않아서 내 글의 번역이 조금 이상한 부분이 있어 네가 이해가 어렵다면 말야, 그러면 한국어를 공부하도록 해. 그리고 나서 한국 문화의 특수성에 대해서 그 때 이야기를 시작하자.
네가 누구를 계몽할수 있다고 생각하지 마. 너는 특권을 가진 선각자가 아니야. 너는 한국이나 한국인에 대해 얼마든지 네 개인 의견을 가질수 있지만 그것이 하늘에서 내려온 진리는 아니라는 말이야. 너의 매우매우 개인적인 생각일 뿐. 그저 하나의. 좀 더 겸손하도록 해. 너는 한국인을 이해하는것처럼 네 글에서 말했지만, 사실은 "한국인이 무지하게 행동하는건 그저 그들이 배울 기회가 없어서"라고 말했어. 네 사상의 고귀함이 날 놀라게 했다구 친구. 세상은 너를 중심으로 돌지 않아, 미국을 중심으로도, 유럽을 중심으로도 돌지 않는다구. 네가 경제와 국방력의 최고 국가의 일원이라고 해서 네 생각을 네가 사는 사회와 다른 배경을 가진 국가에 사는 사람들이 따라야 할 표준으로 제시하지 말라구, 친구. 다른 국가, 다른 문화, 다른 민족, 다른 인종, 서로 화합하구 배려하되 각자의 본분은 지키고 고유함은 존속시키는게 옳다. 그것이 내 생각이다. 아마 대부분의 한국인의 생각이 나와 같을거야.

Im a korean living in europe and i share the same sentiment as you. I respect that I am a foreigner and im not going to be fully accepted, enjoy the same benefits and sometimes be discriminated against. Only if everyone thought like this, living in harmony might be achieved easier but sadly many dont and lead to tensions.
People compare Japan and Korea about how people treat foreigners but they dont talk about how Japan has been used to foreigners since the 80s when their economy flourished but for korea its only been the past 7,8 years or so.
Koreans do have a problem with how they treat non westerners and this is very valid criticism but when a westerner tries to educate on how multiculturalism should be achieved, i think its crossing the line. People forget how immigration started in the west in the first place, it wasn't all peace and love, and it still isn't.
Give koreans some time to get used to foreigners, i think there will still be unpleasant people being willfully racists but you can't lump all koreans together and generalise. Koreans like to criticise everyone and stingy with compliments but once they have a positive view they also appreciate it
달필이시네. 크게 공감합니다
검머외들은 제발 한국에 대해 신경좀 꺼주시길.
I often go to Japan, but Japan is more closed to foreigners than Korea.
I love it! Give Koreans some time to adjust to foreigners. It's something I had to learn over the years here. No one hates foreigners (maybe some do) it's just most aren't used to them. Hiw does the saying go, "Rome wasn't built in a day." Thanks for this!

ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 위에 댓글은 한국인 인척 하는 일본인 입니다! 당신에게 사기치는거에요! 속지마세요.. 중국인들과 일본인들은 거짓말을 잘합니다! 외국인들은 그걸 모르고 한국을 방문합니다! 정신차리세요~~🤣🤣🤣
한국인으로서 감사합니다. 한국이 많이 알려지면서 점점 더 많은 외국인들이 돈을 벌기 위해, 공부하기 위해, 장기 여행으로 한국에 머믈기 시작했어요.
또 한국인들은 해외로 많이 나가기 시작했구요.
그럼에도 불구하고 한국은 아직 우리만의 삶의 방식과 관점, 문화 정서가 강한 사회예요. 워낙 오래된 단일 문화의 역사를 가지고 있으니까요.
그 점을 잘 알고 이해해주셔서 감사합니다
Exactly! Korea has a long history of having a singular culture. Korea should change at its own pace and time, IF it wants to. Otherwise, Foreigners living here, like myself, should do our best to learn and understand Korean culture to the best of or ability. Thank you for the comment!:)
As a Korean, watching your video made me think about many things. Impressive!
외국인 브이로그 보면서 영어듣기 훈련하려고 들어왔는데 너무 멋진 생각에 감동받고 가요! I think you have a really constructive mind 👍👏👏👏
Hey, thanks so much for stopping by with a wonderful comment! I'm trying my best to be respectful of everyone, even if there are some things I don't understand:) Really appreciate your comment!!!
Respect is important in image management
100 percent agree!
I give you great respect and appreciation. I am of korea decent born in Canada, yet you are more korean than me because of your respect and knowledge. Thank you.
Hey, thanks so much for the comment! I'm just trying to share my knowledge of Korea in the most constructive, yet opionated way as possible:) I think you'll always be '더' Korean than me ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
love your content and your observations. you are so emotionally intelligent. Many could learn from your attitude and respect for other cultures, humble yet fully aware. Great. It is a SUBSCRIBE for me. Korea sounds just such interisting place. If i was young like you, i woudl totally try to go and experience living there for a bit.
Hey, thanks so much for the kind words AND the support! Korea is not perfect, but it's a good place to live, I believe:) It would be cool if you could come here, at least for a short visit. Does your age prevent you from taking trips abroad?
As much as you know, you can see, and as much as you have inside, you can act!
Ooooooh, philosophy!!!! I like it!!!!
I came across your videos and noticed that you have a wonderful mindset about treating locals as a foreigner.
I wish every foreigner in Korea shared the same attitude.
Hey, thanks so much! I do my best to respect everyone no matter where I am:)
Korea is a very respectable society
Having the highest suicide rate isn't respectable
In many ways, yes!
❤❤Seoul is very beautiful ❤❤
I completely agree!!
Do you think all foreigners or ethnicities are grouped together? Protecting your image while living abroad doesn't only protect, but other foreigners coming after you. What do you all think?!
It's about respect! No matter how you are treated in another country, you are responsible for your behavior. Amazing some people don't get that.
Perfectly said! Thank you for this!!!!
My feeling is that you should respect where you are and with whom you are associating. It's common decency. Even as a much older person I am still really interested in visiting Asia and understand that how you act will impact your experience. Thank you for reminding people about basic respectful behavior.
I agree. Respect the place where you are and there's a great chance respect will be given in return. I hope you will be able to visit Asia one day. There is so much to see and experience here. Thank you for the constructive comment:)
You are welcome
Thanks for your video, Francois. You help me to understand more about foreign people's living Korea. I also appreciate for your advices for foreign people planning to come to Korea.
I hope you to enjoy living in Korea alway happily~
Hey, it's my pleasure!! And thank you so much for supporting me and OUR channel:) My goal is to just share my experiences in a positive way, not to put down any people, country or culture:) Really thank you and happy you got some value from this video:)
I hit the like button and subbed ^^
Thank you for the video, I wish more ppl would think this way. If you go somewhere, especially if you are going to a place where their exposure to foreign people is still new or low, you are an ambassador for all those who come after. It may not be fair, and it can be tiring sometimes, but it is what it is.
Yoooo, thanks so much for the support! And exactly! I tell this to my students and some friends all the time...we are ambassadors of our country wherever we go. How we are perceived based on first-hand encounters is how those who come after us will be perceived. Really appreciate the comment and the support!!:)
Walking around at night is one of my favorite thing
I also like to do that every now and then:)
Your voice is so nice to hear. All the best in Korea!🙂👍
Thanks so much!!!
I haven't watched many your videos, but I can see you have a good mindset and are thoughtful.
I agree that it's more important to understand and share the unique values of the society rather than completely becoming a part of it.
And when it comes to Korea, becoming a completely authentic Korean isn't necessarily a good thing because it might mean sharing in the country's tragic history and hardships as well.
For example, if a war with North Korea breaks out, true Koreans, including myself, would have to take up arms and go to the front lines. ㅋㅋㅋ
This is an extreme example, but it illustrates that fully integrating into a country can go beyond just understanding and sharing its values.
By the way, your video is alway great ~ Thank you for your opinion:)
How Americans forget that appearances are important. Literally, I fly often, and the dirty clothinf people wear on flights baffles me. Not just appearance, but actions matter also.
Agreed with the actions part. I have seen some videos of Americans traveling in very disheveled attire. I guess that's another way to look at the topic protecting your appearance hahah
정말 좋은 마음가짐입니다👍 저도 그렇게 하고있어요!
Hey, thanks so much!!! Let's continue together!!!:)
So this the complexity of the world that surrounds
Alas, tis true.

Multiculturalism is a very American perspective.
If you think about common sense, it is normal for a country to be integrated into one culture. Because the United States is a special country founded on immigration, multi culturalism is common sense, but that depends on your circumstances.
Koreans are very angry at the United States because of Americans forcing multiculturalism, and Americans should no longer make Koreans angry.
The stereotype that a single culture excludes other cultures is an American illusion.
Koreans are not 'very angry at the United States'. If you are angry you can simply stop. That is an 'illusion' as well
@@sssssssss111 what do you know about Korea? Have you been to Korea?
Multiculturalism is circumstantial. Did I understand you correctly? If so, that's an idea I have considered, but not in detail. I think more on your response. Thanks for taking time to comment:)
@@francoismarc3 Multicultualism is a scheme designed by deep state globalists.The true meaning of multicultualism is to recognize and mutually understand the world's diverse religions, cultures, and customs. Multicultualism, currently advocated by American progressives, has been misused to judge only from an American perspective without acknowledging the world's diverse cultures. If you truly advocate Multicultualism, you should recognize Korea's dog meat culture as Korean culture. You probably have no idea what atrocities the United States has committed in Korea. In the 20th century, the United States planned to convert Korea into a Christian country and then make it a dependent country of the United States like Japan. This is why I don't trust America.
What's so crazy about Americans is that they consider distinguishing between races to be racist.
Mentioning and distinguishing between the Nilot people of Africa, the Bantu people, the Yamato of Japan, the Yemaek of Korea, the Anglo-Saxons, the Celts, and the Latins is like differentiating retrievers, Dobermans, huskies, and shepherds, and no one say dog discrimination . I don't think it discriminates against dogs. You Americans probably don't like hearing distinctions between ethnic groups. However, justice should not be ignored for the sake of not inconveniencing Americans.
My message is clear. Whether you insist on a black actress in the Little Mermaid movie or legalize same-sex marriage is your choice. But, don't spread your shit on the world. In my view, the American lifestyle rock/hip-hop music, professional wrestling, talk shows, and Hollywood movies are a very foolish waste of life. And, these cultures cannot be forced on the world, and can only be achieved by voluntarily accepting American culture. If a country banned professional wrestling, would you send fighter jets to bomb it?
Likewise, the United States should never force its ideas and philosophies on other countries. It would be right for people around the world to agree with American philosophy and participate voluntarily, but unfortunately, American ideas are highly distrusted around the world.
Because most countries have better philosophies than America's.
Therefore, as a Korean, I do not want to be infringed upon by Americans anymore, and I must receive an apology from the United States for its intervention and intervention in Korea. Since you were educated and brainwashed at American universities, you probably have no idea what atrocities the United States has committed in Korea. I am satisfied with the United States not interfering in the peace of Korea.
Multiculturalism is not "a very American perspective".
Brazil is a very multicultural country and it is far removed from "America" in terms of language, culture, social norms, food, music, etc.
NOTE: Brazil is a part of America.
I think you meant "the United States" - there's a difference between "America" as a continent and "the United States" as one of many countries within America. 😊
Multiculturalism exists in other countries and continents and adds so much diversity and richness to a society.
I'm part European and part African, and let me tell you Africa as a continent is very multicultural but in a much different way than how most people understand "multiculturalism." Just the country of my birth alone has many layers of multiculturalism as there are several different ethnic groups each with their own language, traditions, customs, etc and yet all these ethnic groups live alongside each other and intermarry.
One country - different ethnic groups.
Multiculturalism isn't a negative thing as you seem to think, as per the wording and tone of your comment.
Heck, Korea has embraced many different aspects of the very multiculturalism that you seem to deride.
Multiculturalism isn't a bad thing. It becomes a bad thing when people from different cultures consider their culture as the best and look down on people from other cultures and that, my friend, happens everywhere, not only in "America", that is, the US.
Hi from Tours François 😀
Salut, Cedric!!! Ca fait longtemps! Comment ça va?!
Good advise. It would be great if foreigners in America also respected the culture, laws and people instead of trying to change society into the country they came from🥴
Thank you and I can agree that some Americans are guilty of this:(
As a Korean, I never care about your religion, your skin color, or countries where youre from but really care about how you behave as Koreans do. No drug, and should respect for our law and order. I like you in that sense.
Thank you for sharing this:)
Wow, your video is extremely informative. I would love to visit Korea, but I am scared of racism. I hope you continue to have an amazing, safe, and productive time there.
Hey, thanks so much!! You don't need to fear racism here! Koreans don't have a lot of experiences to meet foreigners in person every day, so you may get some stares, but the stares are out of curiosity. You'd be welcomed here if you respect their way of life. You should come! I've been here 13 years and no problem!
Wow 13 years. I am very happy you are having a great experience. I wish you all the best in everything.

Agreed! Life is easier when you can fit in (but not at the cost of sacrificing your integrity, of course). Love this quote! BTW, Mongolia in a month!!!
South Korea is the second to Japan the most rigid to grant permanent staying Visas(F4 Visa) to any types of foreigners, not to mention citizenship. The thing is they want to be "closed". They want to keep their homogeneity.
It's sooooo difficult to get a longstay visa here in Korea. The amount of red tape is baffling. I believe it's because of what you say. Korea wants to remain a homogeneous country for the most part.

There goes the neighborhood
What do you mean by this?
I have to disagree with you here Francois. Although I do believe Korea should be more open and exposed to other cultures, Korea is Korea because of Korean culture for better or worse. Start mixing and changing that culture (that's been around for 5000 years) to a fusion of others then it is no longer Korea. Why come if there is no distinctive culture that made it interesting in the first place? Not every country needs to be like the US where its a melting pot. US culture is really that it really has no culture sadly. Not trying to start a fight bro. I do agree 100% with your statement that internationals need to understand that they are representatives of every foreigner coming to Korea. They are a guest in their home so they should absolutely respect the host. ✌
PS- your friend who bailed without paying bills is a loser.
Yoooo! Disagreements ARE WELCOMED! It sparks thinking and dialogue, and later growth! Maybe I didn't explain my thoughts clearly. I don't think Korea should be like the US, but it means that Korea hasn't had a long history at all with multiculturalism, so seeing foreigners every day close up can be intimidating, maybe. On the contrary, I think Korea is Korea because it's monoethnic culture. The safety, convenience, and work ethic all stem from Joseon, Gongoreyo, and the other smaller kingdoms, which eventually became modern-day Korea. In all, I want Korea to stay Korea, but I don't want foreigners coming here with derelict behavior, making it bad for other foreigners to live here. I want to protect this place where I live!:) And yeah, that girl was a person I should have never dealt with. Glad she's gone, actually. Please feel free to disagree more!!
@@francoismarc3 Thanks for clarifying!
For sure!!!@@blackbelt2000
As a korean, i dont agree with this comment at all. Korean really needs to open up more and accept more of multi culture. U cant say current korea is traditional korea anyway. U have to lose western life style.
입장을 바꿔서 생각해보게 만드네요 외국인으로써 한국에서 사는게 쉽지 않다는 말을 다른곳에서도 들어본것 같습니다. 그럼에도 힘겨운 한국 생활을 이어간다는것은 단순히 돈을 많이 벌고 예쁜 여자친구가 있어서 뿐만이 아니라 우리나라에 대한 특별한 가치를 느끼고 계신다는것 아닐까 하는 감사한 마음이 들게 만드는 영상이었습니다. 저는 자동 번역을 켜놓고 시청했습니다.

I'm happy you can enjoy lots of diverse content with subtitles:) I'll always make sure to have many subtitles in my videos for you:) And right! There is more to living in Korea besides making a lot of money and having a pretty girlfriend. Learning Korean culture is the best thing for me!:)

It's ironic that foreigners who visit Korea like the girl you mentioned want Koreans to do things her way, but can't respect Korea for doing things their way. It's a selfish me-first attitude, which Korean society isn't built on. The concept of jeong isn't because people are all doing things differently. It's because, generally, everyone is doing the same thing acceptable by society. This can be good in some ways and bad in others. But because of this, people can call non-family members hyung, noona, oppa, and unnie. I also wonder if Koreans find it weird if foreigners calls them by these familial terms. I know some Kpop artists tell their fans to stop calling them oppa.
Yes, it’s rude to call someone a familiar term if you aren’t actually close to them. There are exceptions like calling a waitress ‘eunni’.
I have close friends who are Korean and sometimes I call my girl friends nuna or guy friends hyung. They dint mind, but I guess it is person by person. We have to use 눈치 to understand the right situation to use it hahah
@@francoismarc3 You are close, so they don't mind.
Can i ask how do
You record in public places like in subways, etc...? Im so nervous because theres the law you cant show peoples faces w/o their consent and i dont want people thinking im recording them when im not and that im a rude foreigner
Good question! I just record myself and other things, but if someone walks in the frame it's not my fault lol. Usually, people see me vlogging and they walk away. Sometimes they jump in the frame, sometimes they stop and ask me if I recorded them, but that RARELY happens.
@@francoismarc3 okay, thank you for answering. May I ask if you’re recording with your cellphone or an actual camera? I ask because I think I may feel less bothersome to others if I have an actual camera
The day before yesterday, Japan blocked the view of Mount Fuji due to the rudeness of foreign tourists.
Are you serious? I'll have to look that up! I was planning on going to Japan this summer to look at the mountain!
Now Korea is rich everyone wants to live there and be accepted, where were all the foreigners 40 over yrs ago, when it was 3rd world? Any foreigners interested then? How convenient, they put the work in to develop themselves, you just show up to collect the rewards
Hmmm, why do you think foreigners just show up and reap all the rewards? That's an interesting thought, and I am interested to hear more. Also, do you think other countries also had developmental periods like Korea, where the country was heavily infused with US dollars? I'm not saying you are wrong, just would like to hear your thoughts:) thanks for the comment!
Korea 40 yrs ago, was like Vietnam now. Any foreigners in Korea that stayed 40 years helping them build the country side-by-side? I believe if you do that you should be welcomed, 100%. The vast majority of foreigners in Korea only came in the last 10-15 yrs when Korea started peaking.
I believe Koreans can easily tell who's there to actually contribute , and who's just there to take. If you go there with the genuine intention to contribute, they will accept you, but if you think Korea is a candy store for you to take what you want, which I believe is the intention of most foreigners, you should be rejected by society.
@@Xtca223 That's very reasonable. I appreciate your contribution!!
I saw the Japanese video
What did you think?
원래 한국사회도 2천년대 이럴때는 우리도 서구의 자유스러움을 추구해야 되지않냐 그랬어요. 그런데 2015~6년 기점으로 서구가 뭔가 정체되고 혼란에 빠지는 듯한 인상을 받게 되었고 그 원인으로 68혁명으로 너무 지나친 자유를 추구한점이 지목받고 있습니다. 지금 우리가 역대 최악의 저출산으로 이민받아야되지않나 말이 많은데, 이민을 받아도 외국계 상대로 강도높은 동화주의를 실시해야 한다고 한국 대중들이 말하고 있습니다. 그리고 내부적으로 대마초 허용해야 한다는 사람들을 철저히 탄압하고 강도높은 엄벌주의로 가야한다는 의견도 세지고 있고요

한국처럼 치안이 잘 되어있는ㅈ나라가 몇이나 될까요?주어진 환경에서 그 나라 사람들의 관습이나 문화를 자국문화에 비춰서 이상하다고ㅈ생각하는 건 좀 단순 한 것 같네요.어디나 불평등은 존재하며 그들의 문화와 풍습 법을 잘 지키고 현지인과 융화가 되도록 노력 해야겠죠 물론 한국도 더 열린 마음으로 외국인이나 다른 사람들을 포용해야 하구요.모쪼록 잘 지내시길 바래요.😊
감사합니다!! Your comment and thinking is very well-balanced! I really thank you for sharing your mind:)
To me, South Korea is a minor version of Japan
I could see why you think like this:)
It's an interesting story, but Korea is a mono-ethnic country, so they don't like outsiders voicing their opinions. I've seen this same phenomenon in the U.S., where if an outsider comes in and tries to change something, like a more comfortable lifestyle in another state, in Wyoming, they're immediately attacked. I think people are just not used to accepting change, whether it's racial, ethnic, or national.

I guess hahaha
3:02 Why was she living in Korea if she hated Korean food? Wild.
Right?
Seoul made me never want to visit Korea again 😂 In general the people did not seem friendly. However I went to Japan before my trip so I think that’s influencing my opinion. I loved Japan!
Hahaha, Maybe Koreans didn't welcome you!
But were you busy? 😅😅
Wooooooah, I'm sorry you had a bad experience here...You should come back and hangout now! I'm sure your feelings would change! Ironically, I my first time in Japan, I thought some of the people were a little rude hahah. Go figure! Lol

귀화하시고 군대도 가고 한국 여성이랑 결혼하시면 교육 교통 문화 여러가지로 혜택이 더 많지 않나요? 로즈 라이프까지는 아니여도 시에 소속감도 느낄수 있고 노력하고 자격되면 특히 한국인 혼혈이나 한국어 특기자들은 외국인 커뮤니티도 정착 지원금 나오기도 하는데요. 이제 너무 직장생활해서 갈데도 없으시면서. 냉정한 사실을 하나 알려드리겠습니다 그 국가들이 아무리 외국인 받는다고 해도 그것이 포용력에서 나오는 것이 아니라 아시아보다 문화의 발전 속도가 느려서 어쩔 수없이 받는 것입니다 딥스문화라고 부릅니다 그게 현실입니다 일처리를 못하니까 받는 거지. 아시아는 건설업이나 돌봄 사업 위주로 받는데 그들은 학력자 기대합니다 그게 현실입니다 주류는 서양인이고 인종차별 폭력은 더 집요하고 뿌리깊습니다 칸영화제 단적인 예로 속마음 나오죠 한국은 아파르트헤이트 같은 역사나 인종 학살 범죄의 역사가 없습니다 여행해봐도 관광지 말고 안에 가보면 심각한데 살아보지 않으면 쉽게 말하시겠죠 한국은 정치인이나 교육부에서 주도하는 인종차별은 없고 자국 보호 위주로 걸러 받는 것입니다. 한국 뜬 그 여성은 국세청에서 받아 내야 될 것 같네요 외국인들 많아지면서 여러 범죄사례들도 생겨서 받아내는 곳도 생겼을거예요 프랑수아씨는 운이 좋으신 것입니다 범죄율 높은 국가는 많이 안 받거든요 호주나 중국으로 간 사람들한테 받아냈다고 하던데...
