Things Foreigners Dislike About Living In Korea

The audacity of the French complaining that Koreans don’t speak English (I am French btw) 🤦🏻‍♀️ Most of the French are so bad in English.
The Swedish and her bread, who cares.
The British is really blind, and didn’t travel much. In Seoul, restrooms are everywhere (on every subway station) even in some hiking trails. Europe is a nightmare, not much restrooms.
Except the Indonesian girl, the others are complaining about superficial stuff.

Hello, I am a Korean in my late 40s.
Thank you for the video.
I think there's a misunderstanding, so I'm leaving a comment.
Koreans basically like foreigners when they see them.
However, there is a fear of foreigners asking for directions or talking to them through reading-oriented English education rather than conversation-oriented English.
I want someone who is fluent in English and cool to take over the job. And there's a certain sense that Koreans have longed for foreigners and will be superior to us in history that led to Japanese colonial era and the Korean War.
It's like a low profile, like dealing with a boss or a high-ranking person in the military.
As a result, the attitude toward foreigners becomes rigid and stiff.
I'm also worried that my mistake will create a negative image in Korea, and I'm afraid of how others will see me.
I hope you understand that Confucianism is a long-established country, and that there is a culture of respect for parents and superiors, serving ancestors, and repaying their kindness I think.

On average, Korean language is one of the top five toughest languages for English speaking people to learn. This means English is also as tough for Koreans. If you understand how desperately they want to learn English you can't blame them.

I love these videos! Interesting topics and so helpful for my upcoming trip to Korea 🙏🏻

racism and racist peoples exists everywhere in this world. Anywhere in this world you go, You'll be gonna find 3 major completely different types of groups of peoples.

1. The peoples who are racist

2. The peoples who just don't give a fuck to you and your existence there. They just don't like you that's why they just completely ignore you and your existence there. And It's very good for everyone.

3. The peoples who are good to everyone regardless of where are they actually from.
If you can perfectly blend yourself among their culture and everything than they're gonna be very good with you. They're gonna be like you but you always have to remember it that they're gonna like you always as a foreigner to them.

I was living in Texas, when I was living there I had seen a lots of racism there and a racist around me. because the majority of population of there are the white peoples. So, most of them can't just accept you from their heart. Beacuse you look completely different from all the other peoples who lives there.

So, you can't just call a whole population of a country that they are all racist. Because in reality all of them aren't racist. A lots of them can be racist and also A lots of them aren't racist at all.

So, Racism and racist peoples exists in all over the world. In every society of every city/town of every state of every country of every continent, racism and racist exits.

So, you just have to keep yourself in a distance from them as much as you can. And you have to choose people wishly very very very very very very wishly.

And Another thing you have to always remember that being alone without anyone or any friends is a lot lot better than being with someone who just claim themselves as a friends of you for their own profits or to destroy you completely or for both of thses reasons.

So, just live wishly.

Sorry, what is your accent? It's very distinctive.

Brighten not believe these people expecting Koreans to speak English you are in Korea they speak Korean so you the visitor should learn Korean not the other way around this whole idea of English being a language that you can speak around the whole world is such a lie made for the convenience of Americans

wait so they don't have bathrooms at the 711 or family mart?

Really rude for one to comment on others weight....

Gurlllll, he's from Nigeria he doesn't know bitter bread 😆

No one mentioned the lack of garbage cans on the public roads.

The girl talking about the bread really hit the nail on the head

French guy represent us well💯🗿

you're a really good interviewer

한국에 오지마라

In Ireland we hardly have public toilets like the UK, I envy Korea

Korea is really small so it should be good 😂

I hate that sweet garlic bread, long time ago like 20years ago we had that normal garlic bread, but somehow all the garlic bread I can find thesedays are all sweet, so I stoped buying them at all. I realy don't know what's up with the garlic bread and the patissiers in Korea. They used to be not that sweet! And for the bathroom, it depends on the shops but because they need to clean the bathrooms they usually ask to buy things, but you can find many clean public bathrooms in the subway stations or depatment stores and can use them for free unlike Europe

As a Korean, I am interested in interviewing female students from Southeast Asia.
She purified the content that would make her angry enough. It shows her personality.
On the other hand, there are some things that are not.

I'd like to get to know the tall 7 days in Korea man

Love the people who just arrived in Korea in the summer and are talking about how hot and humid it is. Just wait until you experience the -18C winter day in January in Seoul 😅

Koreans are some of the most racist people on earth

Hearing about the bugs and moth…might have to change my plans

Why can't i hear any sound this video?

I have to differ from what the British girl said about availability of public toilets. When I was in the UK, public toilets have to be paid to access it and there aren't many that you can go to, except for when you are near a MacDonald. So when you have urgent need, it can be quite annoying and stressful. Haven't been to S Korea but I like to think that most Asian countries still have free accessible toilets within reach than say European countries. Another thing is about language. Most homogeneous countries, esp in East Asia like S Korea, Japan or China , people are not conversant in English because that's not their main language taught in schools. It's just one of their subjects but never put into practical usage for lack of a speaking environment. In France, people refuse to speak even if they can because they are proud of being French and also the historical feuds that French and British had through the wars between them. But really, as a visitor of that country, it's unrealistic to expect the average citizen in that country to speak English even though it's an international language. When you visit a country, you are the guest so it's more like the other way round, you've to learn some basics going to that country if you know English is not widely spoken. Otherwise, get a local guide. Having said that, I'd still expect places that cater to international tourists should at least have 1 staff (or booth) that speak English and a few other common languages depending on the profile of tourists that most visited S Korea.

don't go to korea.
air is so polluted !!!
it's like smoking without stopping.

서울에서는 모든 건물에 무료 화장실이 있어서 그냥 들어가서 사용하면 되는데

클럽은 외국인이라서 거절한게 아니고 꾸미지 않은 사람은 못 들어감

Subway stations always have free restrooms by the way

G 25 convenient stores have trash cans

Imagine going across the world to just go to bars. 🤦‍♂️

Honestly speaking, living in Korea and complaining for Koreans not speaking english is at least not polite. Very imperialistic point of view. You have to learn korean if you came for a long stay, study or work

Still...in comparison...Korea is one of the best places to live tbh. You go to Europe expecting the best, but there's SCAMS SCAMS SCAMS and drunk racists here and there. Same goes to SE Asia and South America. And getting medical-care in foreign countries are always a hassle except in Korea.

The bread is sweet lol that part killed me!🤣😅😂

The only thing that I cannot relate to is the public toilet. I found out that there are much less public toilets in European countries while I was traveling and you have to pay money for these toilets which sucks. Paying money for the toilets is nonsense.

I am Korean, and I will tell you. Koreans are very judgemental, of course not all, but I feel like the whole society takes that kind of behavior as the norm. There is a reason why we have the highest suicidal rate among OECD countries. We care way too much about how we are viewed by others and do the same things to each other.

that UK girl was straight up city girl lol

There are massive spiders in the trees in Korea??????? 😫

Sweet bread is not right? I dont think so. 유럽에서는 빵이 쌀밥 대신이라서 단 게 이해가 안되겠지만, 한국에서는 빵이 간식의 개념이라 그렇게 발전된것일 뿐, if you say Korean bread is fucking sweet, then I can also say Germany bread is sucks, dont they have sugar in this country? 라고 하는것과 동일한 반응임. 차이를 인정하는게 이해의 첫걸음이라 생각한다. 독일빵에 대해서는 no comment 하겠다.

I couldn't understand they separated their self from foreign students????

Hahahah the bread struggle is real. My friends and I went to an italian restaurant in Hongdae and one my friends also ordered garlic bread and she couldnt eat it 🤣🤣🤣 we then were wondering what to do because we didnt want to leave the bread because it will be food waste and maybe the staff will feel bad so she put it in her bag and we through it away outside lol.

The food is def sweet. Most dishes contain sugar and if the dish is suppose to be salty like certain pastas, they were not salty enough and god jesus lets not talk about latino food 😂😂😂
But legit I will live on Gimbap, Bibimbap, tteobbokki, deopbap and kbbq meat a whole lifetime ❤️
I do agree with the german girl regarding segregation of students. Our universities also didnt make an effort to have foreigners students interact with korean students. When doing activities they always separated us from local students which doesnt make any sense and seemed more like an inconvenience🤔.

I actually found koreans very easy going and relaxed, I'm a very impatient person so I didnt experience any pali pali culture (except from one of my friends 😂 but he is just annoying lol). It might be because Im from New York so here people is always running around rushing. Actually, we found people walking in the streets very slow lol(our new york crazy mindset). In overall, we met lovely people, partied and made awesome memories.

Why are people upset about KOREANS not speaking ENGLISH in their OWN country? lmao... How about YOU learn korean because you are IN KOREA??
She said there are no public bathrooms? Excuse me? They are everywhere around Seoul, don't know about other places.
I'm not even korean, not even asian, but like....these people are so weird with some of their opinions...and this is coming from someone who sees many problems within Korea. But this is not it...

Korea dont want foreigner, And here India people dont wnat its own people. What an Irony

they put sugar in every god dam thing in korea.

your chanel is a good one. get to know many interesting things.

Korean don't sit next to you if you black or Asian offical lvl3 discrimination is going on there.
