First of all, I really like the idea of interracial marriage. I love to get to know new cultures and stuff and as for the children comming out of interracial marriage, being able to speak more than one language as your mother tongue is such an awesome skill. Bilingual or trilingual upbringing is a thing I would like my children to have! Now, I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work!

im actually here for your facial expressions whenever you're holding out the mic and attentively listening to them speak its a really nice gesture bro

I noticed that when speaking about interracial marriages, a lot of Koreans are only open to either Japanese or Europeans. It's clear the defining standard of someone "Western" is due to the underlying obsession of White features and a proximity to Whiteness if the significant other is White. I will accept that people have a preference but it is unfortunate that these preferences are often constructed through the cultural lens/perception that Black features (dark skin, etc.) are considered unfavorable. As a Jamaican woman in an interracial relationship myself, it is a blessing I am married to a man of Greek background whose family at large love and embrace my features. I can't imagine how difficult it is for some Black men and women in Korea to be accepted by their in-laws, especially so far away from home. I hope S. Korea continues to grow more accepting as Black culture is so widely adored, yet Black people are not always embraced.

Dude u are such a good listener, I get as much entertainment from watching u listen to the answers as the answers themselves themselves. Keep up the good work.

What I noticed living in Korea is that Korean women tend to date westerners when they date interracially, white/black guys from Europe/America and Korean men usually date other Asian people like south east asians and Japanese girls. Though I would say the latter is intercultural dating, not interracial

I like how honest some of them got .Not just giving answers that make Koreans look good to the outside world but the reality of what it's like living there.

I wrote my master's thesis on Korean American interracial marriage in Los Angeles County and found that first-generation Korean AMERICANS in L.A. Co. marry other Koreans (inmarry) at the highest rate compared to Japanese Americans and Chinese Americans -- if memory serves, their inmarriage rate was over 90%. At around the same time I wrote my thesis, KoreAm Journal also interviewed Korean Americans about their attitudes toward interracial and interethnic marriage and some of the reasons provided to KoreAm was to ensure that their monolingual, Korean-speaking parents could communicate and have a relationship with their spouse, and based on some conversations that I have had with Korean Americans, their decision to inmarry also related to preservation of Korean culture and traditions, very likely in response to what Japan did to Korea/Koreans after and during their annexation and occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. BUT, as we noted in our study, with increased acculturation/assimilation (2nd, 3rd, etc. generations) Korean Americans' outmarriage/interracial/interethnic marriage rates increased significantly, as did outmarriage among Korean American in their 2nd and 3rd marriages. And, outmarriage among Korean Americans was higher among Korean American women compared to men, and while eyeballing the data, the non-Korean spouses of Korean women had last names that suggested a Jewish background, and these couples' level of education were commonly at the graduate/professional school level.

Yo, I'm really starting to feel like I grew up in the wrong era man. It so many things that I thought never would be a thing and after watching videos like this, I'm blown away. More and more ppl are open to certain things. Growing up I was taught that nobody likes US and see US in a light that's not interesting, but it seems like the dynamics of culture is changing. Which is good because I would have LOVED to date a foreigner! Just to experience the different cultures and personalities. Super awesome video bro!

Second comment and me personally, I love the idea of interracial relationships and marriages cuz of learning from each others cultures and stuff and I think that's great

Thank you for making space for these conversations to happen! Great interviews! I also would have loved to hear about how they felt about possibly being a multicultural family and raising kids in Korea (or anywhere really), and navigating that experience. ☺️ (But I’m sure it’s probably beyond the scope of this video and that’s ok! Maybe next time 🙂)

I come from a country that is very diverse and it’s so nice to hear that they would like to marry someone from a different culture. But it should not matter about their RACE I believe that you LOVE WHO YOU LOVE. And as long as two people find each other and are happy with each other from what ever race. As long as they truly want to be together they should do so. Because when you find your true love the colour of your skin should Never MATTER AT ALL. I like these videos keep making them because I really find them very informative. And may I just say I am in a interracial relationship and I am very happy. 🌸🌻🌸🌻🌸🌻🌸🌻

This is really encouraging to see as I've heard 'horror' stories about foreigners ( especially those from non-western/non- European or caucasian backgrounds) going through really bad xenophobic experiences there. I can't judge or comment as I've never been to Korea, but it appears that the younger generations are more open to interracial relationships and marriages. There's always hope. 😎👍

In this video Koreans say international marriage(kookje gyulhon) but the subtitle is interracial marriage(injong gyulhon). Interracial marriage is not yet a commonly used word in Korea. It is more of an academic term that can only be found in articles occasionally. Like 4:03 the questioner also keeps saying the word international marriage but the subtitles are interracial marriage. So this is not the kind of problem that Koreans mistake interracial marriage to include marriage with another Asian. They continue to speak using only the word international marriage.

K Explorer always up with the drip

I'm in a interracial marriage (I'm Asian, my husband, Irish). We have two beautiful daughters. There were definite adjustments regarding our cultural differences. It can be quite challenging. To our advantage, we were young and more open-minded and subsequently, learned to truly respect and accept each other's culture.

One of the more patient & intelligent interviews on this subject thus so far. Good Job.

My man!!!!!!!! is always!!!!!!!!!! FRESH !!!!!!!! Salute Brother !!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE this channel so far I’ve binged my way all the way here 🤣🤣🤣🤝🏾🤝🏾

Bro great video! 1) I liked when you asked them to specify from which country they would like to marry the person. 2) The two girls that said they would date an asian but marry a foreigner...they are way more opened than me lmao. 3) Your fit is dope broooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!! 좋아해요!!! 파이팅!!!

2:36 dude at the back throwing up gang signs😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

they’re likely taking about white and other east asian people when they said foreigners btw! don’t get ur hopes up lmao

9:34 is not necessary to change your last name, if you want you can do that. I actually wanted to add my husband name to mine. But I couldn’t. We are both originally from a Latin American Country ( I’m from Dominican Republic and his from Peru) and in our country we have our fathers and mothers last name. So when we got married on our marriage license we put down both of our last name although we only use one in the USA( because we have to put down our name as it is on our birth certificate) at the social security office I had no problem I added my husband last name to mine ( just one of his last name) but when I went to motor vehicle I was told that I couldn’t ,I have to take both of my husband last name if I wanted to have his last name. It been 11 years and this still bugs me 🤬 I wish they change that rule.

I find it shocking and amazing when the girl who said she doesn’t care abt the race of someone said that her parents don’t have prejudice against dating foreigners cuz usually from what I’ve heard Korean parents usually will not want their children to date outside Korean

What’s the guy in the background at 02:36 doing ? Some part of cult moves, maybe 😂😂

이 채널 인터뷰 내용이 진지하고 차분해서 좋아요. 감사합니다.

I love how the one person clarified and specified that interracial marriage meant other Asians specifically and that WORLDLY interracial still needs work in terms of how Koreans view it, the older generation mainly.

These videos sometimes slightly make me uncomfortable. Not always, but a lot of time the fetishisation of white foreigners is extremely common in Korea. My friend, who’s German, visited Korea a few months back and told me that she had a bunch of Korean men coming up to her saying “I wanna date a white girl” or pestering her about doing one-night-stands, and they would tell it to her face that she’s “easy” because she’s “Russian” which she’s obviously not, but Korean men assume all foreign women are Russian, and it’s really sad. Also had plenty calling her the ‘white horse’ which is so misogynistic. I’m not generalising, as that’s not fair at all. Im also very aware that it happens the other way round (white women fetishising Korean men) but I just wanted to say that because I hear a lot of stories like this from foreign women who have visited Korea. Not just white women but black women also have a stereotype there that they’re “good in bed”, and a lot of Korean men use that to their advantage. Besides all of that, I’m also very interested in branching out and dating someone outside of my own race/ethnicity. I’m a sucker for different cultures and traditions. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you’re not fetishising.

Let's appreciate the drip on my dude, man looking like Blade!

LOVE THE GUY WHO WAS REPPING HIS SET IN THE BACKGROUND LOL

The three dudes perspective at 2:22, was right on point.

Bro if anything, in all your videos, you always stay fly.

K has admirable qualities haha, he def got the class.

while this is interesting the underlying facts is that Korea isn't nor will it become more open to interracial marriages unless the foreigner is willing to live in Korea which let me tell you is extremely difficult. Companies won't hire you (its very difficult anyway) and unless you speak Korean fluently there is little change for it working out. Sure you can go over to Korea and stay for a few months, have fun with a few girls/guys etc but ultimately Koreans want to be with Koreans. I also find it interesting Korean men actually seem very open to explore different races but Korean women only seem to want European/american men based on stereotypes that just are not true. Average height for north Europe is tall (181cm) but for south Europe average height is 178cm which is about 3 cm taller than Korean, American is even smaller with average of 176cm. I just don't understand why Korean women believe in these unrealistic stereotypes lol. On a final point I find it very distasteful when the Korean women shun asian men and make harsh statements like "they are small" or "western men are sexy" implying that asian men are not. its a very unattractive trait to have as a person

Let’s hear which “foreign” group they’re interested in… too general but very good start

Keep doing a great work!! Love your videos!!! Hello from New Jersey 🇺🇸

I know y’all saw SLATT in the background. Rap culture spreads so far. I wonder if it was like that in the 90’s.

Koreans dating a Japanese person is more of an intercultural relationship than Interracial being as they are both Asian. I wonder if they have the word "Intercultural" in Korean.

I'm from Trinidad and Tobago🇹🇹. Basically most people here are interracial or are in interracial relationships. I'm mixed with 4 races altogether. The concept in the Caribbean is so widely accepted hence the reason we are known as the melting pot😁 It's interesting to see that other societies do not have the same view as it is so common here.

Subtítulos en español, por favor. Vi otra entrevista tuya, pero con personas mayores en Corea de la opinión de los matrimonios biculturales y, me pareció muy buena.

As a foreigner who studies in south korea from 2021, I rarely see korean women dating foreigners, on some case I did see some women dating caucasian On the other hand, korean men here can just date any foreign women regarding the nationality or race

2:36 AYO I didn’t know they flashed GANG SIGNS in Korea?!?! 😂😂

this is really weird. ive seen on tiktok people saying how bad south korea is for foreigners and how they are treated so badly, but this video makes it seem like its the opposite. is it just the older people that are like that or what??

The interviewer is incredibly good looking

I would also be interested to hear if the responses varied if a Non Korean Lady, Korean Man and Korean Lady did the interview.

i really love your topics and materials, on this particular topic it would be interesting to see answers from older generation of Koreans. It seems there is a big difference between younger generation and older in this topic and overall approach to foreginers.

I think the openness of the girls on changing their last names is very interesting because even as an American myself I don’t see myself changing my last name if I ever get married

Im sorry but can we talk about at 2:33 how some random guy just threw up some shit and walked away

Also would love to see a video of an Asian (whichever people group) interview Black people (American/Canadian/Euro/Caribbean/African etc) on the same subject of Interracial marriage or Dating.

I get the impression that their idea of interracial is different nationality and not necessarily different race to theirs.

i mean they're all going to say say yes, try again with a korean interviewer

I wish these KZfaqrs would ask their questions more specific "foreigners" are too vague when it comes to interracial anything the question should be black or white. Then you can ask about other ethnic group Indians, Latinas etc.

man in the background at 2:36 throwin up gang signs 💀

I want to know if he ever faced any prejudice in Korean please tell us we would like to know❤️

*_Jerry DRIPPY AF_*

What they say and what I see as a westerner living here are complete opposites. Lol They won't make that leap.

*From the view of already experiencing international marriage, There are good things about international marriage, but there are also many difficult things...Not necessarily good ^^*

Lmao we're gonna act like buddy didn't just throw up the slatt sign behind that girl?😂 Random af

2:37 😭😭LMAOOO

you have to ask them to clearify what they mean whenever koreans or japanese use the word ''westerner'' because from what ive seen in these type of interviews, it is clear that the refer to whites, they clearly don't know the west is very mixed and that it makes white to not be the standard for westerner. so when you ask them that it can be a great chance to let them know and be a little more educated. i also realize that they would not say ''white'' so easily because its not from their culture, korea being a mainly korean society and not a lot of other races there, the idea of race is not prominent, so i get why koreans would rather say ''westerner'' when referring to white people instead of ''white''.

한국인들한테만 말하지만 국제결혼 현실적인 기준을 알려줄께. ㅎ 맞벌이 가능하면 국제결혼 가능하지만 맞벌이 불가능하면 파탄(이혼) 가능성이 높다는 것만 알아둬라. 대한민국 사회는 일방의 경제력이 매우 크지 않는 이상 맞벌이가 필수임. 여자의 경우는 외국 갈 각오해야 하며 남자의 경우는 전적으로 여자 먹여살릴 각오 해야 함. 특히 한국 남자는 국제결혼 후 이혼할 경우 타격이 덜하지만 한국 여자의 경우는 외국 남자랑 결혼했다가 외국 나가서 이혼하면 죽도 밥도 안됨. 농담 같지 ?

[Why we shouldn't trust these videos]. I've been following KZfaqrs who do these interviews. KZfaqrs know what they want to talk about. And then after the interview, they edit it to make sure it's what they intended or They only include people who say the same or similar things. Probably dozens of cases against international marriage to select those 7~8 cases. interviews to select those 7 or 8 cases.

You are so handsome I was waiting for someone to acknowledge it lmao anyway normally these videos give me the ick

Hmm these conversations are always interesting. Interracial relationships are more catered to White, Asian, or Hispanic countries in Korea. Which links based on the desire to be a certain complexion.

Great interview! Although the clip jumping was a little too much for me, it skipped every 0.1 sec or something which is a bit too much I think 😅 Otherwise really loved it! The interviewer is so handsome

South Koreans merely have an interest in these four types: 1. Same race with them, it represents South Korean too 2. 교포, it implies has South Korean blood but living outside South Korean 3. East Asian like Japanese, Chinese, etc 4. Western, mostly American That is why I always try to keep myself on a border. It does not mean South Korean is racist just because they have a preference when dating/marrying a specific type of race. You can find racism in any kind of factor, but for finding a partner in life/getting married, we need to understand that every people had the right to choose their ideal type or their specific traits.

Very respectfully, what a beautiful face and voice K explorer has! And his videos are of great quality!

KZfaqr seems to have a bias of giving Korea an image of pro-interracial marriage... The first 8 interviews were all positive. As a Korean.. this is really not the case.. even with the younger generation. It is much better than the old guard but not like this lol

What I find really interesting is that these Koreans still use 흑인 to talk about Black people. I'm re-learning Korean and when I used that word, she recoiled lol She said to use the term 아아프리카계 미국인 since the prior term is kind of 😬 (That's the face she kind of made lol).

A pattern I see is that East Asians chase European features, Europeans chase Black features, and Black people looks for validation outside their race. Maybe one day, we all will fully appreciate ourselves so that any interracial relationships aren't driven by insecurity, feature fetish, validation seeking, etc

You should make a video interviewing girls if they would date Latin men. Ask about their thoughts and opinions about them.

What I constantly want to remind foreigners about Korea is that it is a single-ethnic country comprised of only 96 percent Koreans. For 5000 years... They were and are still doing well culturally and economically. There is no need to force them to change into a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural country. They have always better options for them than multiethnicity and multiculturalism. Because they're doing better than most multi-ethnic countries... Rather, it would be better for foreigners to adapt to Korean society. Their society is much more orderly, efficient and safer than that of most developed European countries and US. No need to change.

This guys fit is always clean 🔥

A better question would be: Would you marry a refugee from Afghanistan? Some Koreans think marrying a person from China or Japan is an interracial marriage.

The man in the back pause at 2:37 😭

2:37 he was throwing it up 🫰🏾✌🏾🤞🏾🤙🏾🖖🏾🤘🏾

Bro the dude with the blond hair towards the beginning, ah the way he talks/his voice I love ittt

Realistically there needs to be better & upgraded immigration policies in most countries. Even if you’re on a spouse visa it feels like you’re just a plus one carry on. In Japan the amount of time you can work is limited & it’s just a minefield for mistreatment. I don’t want to depend on another person for my residency bc what if it goes wrong & I still want to live there? In Korea you can easily rent & open a business if you have a Korean spouse but what if that doesn’t work out?

Did anyone else 2:37 notice this guy…he must be from the US🤣🤣🙏

6:04 I liked this girl, just because she considerate to marry a Brazilian men or a black guy.

I'm surprised that one girl said Brazil. Normally in this kind of video they seem to consider the entire world Asia, Europe and USA XD LOL

Never knew korea has bangers

Tog the guy that speaks English and is confident enough to use it in the interview-you studied well! To the girls who don't want to change their last name if they marry a westerner, you can hyphenate your name. So it would be your last name, then a hyphen, then your husband's last name. I enjoy this man's videos.

Lastly.... if says my preference is an African man ....as a black American woman...am I dating interracially because they keep mentioning Japan, where there are some physical differences but asian is Asian RIGHT? So are they dating interacially because it another Asian? Would I be interacially dating if I dated an African

Would be interesting to see what they think about like African /African like what comes to there minds you could show the pictures of places in Africa USA and Europe and have them guess which is African can open up a dialog on people perception of Africans .You could also ask stuff like are all blacks people from Africa and America .Think this type of conversation would be very interesting to see peoples idea having been to Korea many people would assume I’m either American or just African some would be surprised when me and my black friends would say we was from like the UK or France and Italy the reactions was cute it made for good dialog .

Take your spouse's last name is just an OPTION, which means you have a choice of either keep yours or let your husband take your last name, don't let that stop your way of finding true love girl 🤗

Cool , dude , love your interviews🇨🇦😎

Could you ask them what they mean when they say they, "Western"? Because I, as an ADOS (American Descendant of Slavery) man am "Western". In fact, it was my ancestors who built America. So ADOS are "more American" than anyone else.

Where did you get that COAT?!?!?! The sense of fashion in Korea never ceases to impress me

(8:46) I find it a little disturbing that only one Korean said the family will not mind her marrying a foreigner. Many of them said they are open to marrying a foreigner; however, will they stick to their answer if their family disapproves?

I'm a foreigner living in Seoul. Not gonna lie the Japanese -Korean fetish here is really strong among younger generations. Example: I have many Japanese female friends in Korea coming to Korea because they like K-pop and Korean men. Some of them came just to look for boyfriends. Korean men are generally more aggressive than Japanese men so it makes sense for Japanese girls to like Korean men. While Korean men like Japanese girls mainly due to their timidness, behaviour, tone and honestly they have very cute reactions. And there's AV that portrays Japanese women as very easy and behave just like AV while having sex. (No shit my Japanese friends really told me that)

please dont cut between their sentences sp much when editing! i think you do it because you think its too slow otherwise but i really cant take it in when there is no breaks just words being pumped. i want to look at the people you interview too and not just the text. i dont have any diagnose if you think that and i think morepeople might relate. thank you if you slow it down in future videos❤️

In France is not an obligation to change your name beeing a french wife and then now the kids can have both name together.

I don't want someone to date me because it feels exciting. That is like red flag territory

The world should married each other to be honest

why do all young korean men have this same hair style? @1:43

Its interesting to see how they all pretend to be open to international marriage. Have a look into the statistics and you will see how small the number is. And even these numbers are mostly marriage between southeast asian women and korean men from rural areas whos not able to marry normally in korea

@2:36 Tapioca Jelly Gang

2:36 dude at the back throwing up gangs signs

Saying they would interracially date the same race as them is hilarious.

Western Chad at 6:31 pointing out his dominance
