It seems like HyoJin bonded with Keith in this video =). And their conversations flew so smoothly too.

This video went so quickly for me. You both should make a podcast. ^^

Keith's laugh is sooooooo contagious!! He also looks like a fun guy to hang out with...

Through my experience, I don't think older Koreans like the ajusshis and ajummas in their late 40s~50s are all that understanding when it comes to a person of Korean decent not being able to speak Korean. It happened to me twice on different occasions where a random ajusshi got angry at me and my girl friend for speaking English to the store clerck. They both went on a rampage about how bad of a country the US was, full of bigotry and that we should respect our heritage by learning proper Korean. We explained that we weren't from the US nor have Korean parents, but we got scolded all the same for not being able to speak Korean. Both events happened like shortly within the first month that I was in Korea so I don't know if it was a fluke that I happened to encounter 2 people who apparently had some bad experience with America or that most older people are like that. But it has me walking on egg shells still until today when a Korean samchon comes around.

Always enjoyable when you two do videos together! Interesting hearing your perspectives there Keith!

Keith is really funny and entertaining! It's fun watching him because he smiles and laughs a lot and is so bright! Made me happy😊

Thanks for doing this video! It was interesting to hear his experiences ^.^

My Great great-grandparents (mom side) came from South Korean (I'm 20 turning 21 soon ) so I'm basically 25% Korean 75% Hispanic ( 25% from Spain 50% Ecuador ) PS: my mom forgot about the Korean traditions and I wasn't into Korean stuff until i moved to the US and my mom told me to visit Korea town (I live in NYC ) and she made me try so many stuff and I slowly got into Korean stuff such as food, traditions, culture, music and language. Now I'm learning Korean and trying to see if can find my old Korean roots and family so it's gonna be a long journey for me ...

Wow I really like Keith ☺️he was really expressive on this segment nice chemistry too I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel Keith

It was surprisingly entertaining and I would definitely watch more if you can make more of these videos

I loved this video !! Made my night :) yay Keith!

This is was an interesting and entertaining video!! xD Thank You for sharing!

yesss Keith we wanna hear more of your lifeeee !

Your crap was really fun, Keith haha :D i am turkish-german, means turkish roots but born and grown up in germany, and i think İt's actually funny how i feel exactly the same about so many things. Like the turkish people in germany stayed the traditional old way, while the people in turkey changed. Or about always rooting for Turkey no mattee what haha so keep it up !! It was really entertaining! :)

I'd like to see more vids like this! Thanks!

great vid^

Thanks for sharing this! Im an Australian-born Korean and I had an experience at work where a Korean-Korean work mate gossiped behind my back saying that I should be ashamed for not speaking Korean properly. :/ I was pretty upset but this video relieved me quite a bit cos of the experiences that u shared! :) Thanks!

Loved it!

i love his voice :-) its very clearly and helpful for me also funny i will keep going to watching him and her viedos:-):-)

Hey Keith, where from America are you? It's interesting that you said people in America talk to each other cz in NYC i think you also get looked at funny if you start conversations with strangers

It's. So similar here in Hong Kong. People rarely make conversation and all I see everywhere is ppl on their phones

If a lot of Koreans were like Hyojin my life here as a Korean American would be so much easier. I don't mean that everyone should speak English, but she seems very open minded and very down to earth. A lot of times I wish I could be a complete foreigners like a white guy instead of being Korean American. Even though I can speak relatively ok, perhaps junior high school level or lower, I fake completely not knowing at all because if I can speak and understand korean but I don't understand what they are saying they will frown at me, with a look of confusion/disappointment/frustration, but when I fake not knowing Korean at all I get treated much better. And they actually try to speak English. I think to most Koreans there is no such thing as "kinda knowing Korean'. It's either you know it well or you don't know it at all.

I really enjoy Hyojin's pronunciation of Keith's name. Ke-ithhhh. Very cute. :)

He looks so easy to talk to and to laugh with!

Hi Hyojin!! I just started watching your channel and I got interested in the videos of "What's like in being.... in Korea"... I'll be going to Korea in 6 months to study a semester in University... so I wanted to see how Mexicans are viewed and "What's like being mexican in korea?" :) THANKS :D Greetings!!

America is the only country where you add "american" to your heritage. (Korean-american, African-american etc.) America is such a strange country.

ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION: do you both speak Korean or English behind camera? :D

If it's uncommon or bordering on weird to talk to strangers how do you meet new people and make friends? Is there a more appropriate time or place for social interactions of this sort?

You're so funny Keith! Do you have a draw my life?

Funny vidéo :) Could you try to do the same with a Korean adoptee ? ^^

Very entertaining! Thanks for your stories. For me, I keep getting mistaken for gyopo by taxi drivers, which is fine... (I'm a Canadian-born Filipino-Chinese.) But once, a taxi driver wouldn't let me explain myself, and he'll gave me a lecture (in Korean) about how I should have learned the language as a child... (Or so I believe... I could only understand a few points.)

I love keith

Is Keith in a visa or does he have double citizenship?

Actually this was something that I was wondering about before my vacation last year, because I am very obviously Asian looking, but am not Korean and was worried how Koreans would react to me. Well... I guess it was very obvious I was a foreigner though because everywhere I went they spoke Chinese and Japanese to me!

*reads title* O this going to be good :D

As a Mexican America living in Chicago, and loving Korea as much as I do even thought I have not been there in my life I feel terrible when there is a soccer game between Korea vs Mexico. I love Mexico because of my heritage, but I became in love with Korea for a strange reason, and it is hard to take a position for me. It happened during the soccer Olympics' game when both groups were in the podium. And also last week when both teams played here in America!

Hi! I'm mexican woman so I speak spanish but I want to learn korean languages. Can you help me?

You should do one about like Pakistanis in Korea or Indians or middle easterns because I've never seen that and I'm curious

why did keith move to korea?

i feel ya keith

I'm a Korean-Canadian but in Korea when i went to school they bullied me because i was a half Canadian...making fun of Canada flag..you know the maple....i had a bad memories....

Keith! Your story not carp.. you should talk more about ur exprience... waiting for a new video from u~♥

moree keith life

I thought keith was an american when I listened to korean lessons.I am shocked now:D

The "old/traditional" way seems to still be thriving here in Daejeon.

Richard K hey man, I just wanted to say I totally got your joke, though, at first, I didn't. Thanks for clarifying that as nice as you did too. :-)

I love Keith. He is so funny to me. But I know 3 foreigners who recently went to Korea and I have watched a video on here and they all said that the Korean looked at them weird and didn't say anything just like your experience. I am still going to try for myself though.

here's what happened with me.. i was at the mall and i saw this ahjumma so i walked up to her and asked her if she could teach me korean. to me as an arab i would be very proud if a foreigner asked me to teach them arabic, but she felt reaaly awkward that i ended up feeling awkward!! haha

Keith, were you born in Korea? At what age did you immigrate to the U.S.? And, do you hold a Korean or American citizenship?

It is interesting how Keith took the concept (and debatably myth) of the "American underdog" and applied it to another country.

As far as food go I am very share-y. I mean I am very like I want a little of everything and as friend or family we can work together and try a bit of everything. I guess. I don't know how to explain. My friend like food I like food. I believe that eating is an experience. I believe experiences should be shared to strengthen connections and make memories. Therefore with friends I share food.

aaaaAAAAAAAA KEITH OPPA WAE SO CUTE ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠ ㅠㅠㅠ ㅠㅠ ㅠ

I wish it was acceptable to talk to strangers in Korea because I would want to get to know people and have a bunch of Korean friends!

This month, January, i went to an amusement park and a hot spring resort here in the Philippines and there are a lot of Koreans there. It's about 30% of the people in that park and overs 50% of people in the resort are Korean. I just notice that they are not talking to other groups of Korean even if they are right next to them in the line, they don't even smile to each other. (I just find it weird because if a Filipino finds a Filipino in another country, they will usually chat about a lot of things) . I really wonder why they don't talk... So talking to strangers is not common in Korea. Finally, I got the answer to my question. :) It's a matter of culture differences.

Keith is so funny. >___

The moment Hyojin heard the beginning of Keith's cafe story...she is just like, "Oh no, you idiot...!"

Why didn't your parents talk to you in Korea?

People think I'm Korean at first when I'm in Korea. I'm just an Asian married to a Korean. It can really freak people out that I don't speak Korean. They decide I'm just a Japanese.

I am curious about latinos in Korea

Wow Cool video!! in Brazil Koreans do think that is weird to talk to strangers in public places! that's why I wasn't surprised about it when I was in Korea. and Definitely my father wouldn't survive in Korea anymore after 30years with a lot of modern stuff.

Hi Keith.. I heard clearly that you said: "YES, they HAVEN'T changed their mindset".. lol.. which is 100% the way that Asian people speak English! Haha.. Of course I'm not an exception :) TalkToMeInKorean

Korean irish here:-)

I remember in 2002 my korean friend would call me at 3am to watch the game at his house -_-

is there any videos in which keith doesn't wear that cap ?

Would koreans see me as a foreigner me being half korean by my dad's side I look like a mixture of both sides korean eyes and face and hair but with like a olive skin tone or a little lighter.

i like when hyojin is mean to keith

haha so charismatic

Haha I think in asia people don't really talk to strangers like western countries.. I would get the same reaction of I did that in sg...>.< haha

OH yeah man -- I talk to strangers all day long and that's so weird to Korean people. It's way more normal in America, just small talk with people who are sharing the public space with you. Hahahaha.

I live in the states, and I've always wondered why Koreans (and other Asians) tend to only hang out with each other. They seem to be the only ones that haven't integrated (friend wise) with other Americans. In a general sense, I know there are individual cases. Is there a cultural reason for this?

I always root for the underdog

Wow Keith, so no non-Korean friends?

ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국팀이 항상 못해서 한국팀 응원한뎈ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

@4:04왜 "너가 내" 대신 "니가 내" 이에요?

Hey Keith, Do your parents only want you to date Korean girls? Have you ever dated white girls? If you did, what did your parents think?

Keith, you're hot

What happened to Keith , he fell off the planet, his channel is abandoned.

대부분 한국 사람들이 교포를 차별 해! 내가 교포 발음이 있지만 나를 판단하지마 제발

lol that girl cant speak at all!
