According to the genetic test I took, some people are actually genetically predisposed to be bothered by the sound of other people eating. To me, this is like telling someone to stop breathing loudly. Just deal with it.

No, I was taught to not talk when eating, but in terms of making sounds like slurping noodles or soups, absolutely it was all good! Making sounds regarding the eating of various foods, Koreans traditionally felt not only was it a natural part of eating, but in fact a good manner to make a good show of it for the one who cooked.

This might be totally wrong but when I first got into Korean culture years ago, I heard that Koreans eat out loud to show how good the food is.

@@Riaaonline It's the first time I've heard of it. From what I heard from my parents, I heard that in Korean traditional food etiquette, those who eat while making noise are the way servants(either hierarchically or morally In today's terms, a shallow person? similar meaning) eat.

@@Riaaonline Our traditional way of eating nice is to eat quitely what are you talking about😂 Eating out loud is more of a Japanese thing as far as I know. Parents teach us not to make sound and keep your mouth shut while chewing, although at current state young ppl don’t really give a damn and just eat as they like

Really appreciate the support man

Serious question but how do you have top level interviewing skills. You just ask a question and don’t interrupt them as they answer. Ask follow up questions

In my country this would never happen. Even tho we’re a safe country (Portugal is ranked as 6st safest in the world; above SK) this is something anyone would do it. Everyone is very cautious about their belongings.

@@thenewmeee03 Korea is safer than Portugal.

@@thenewmeee03 in Korea, you don’t even NEED to be cautious of belongings. People don’t even think of taking your stuff, unlike people in European countries. There’s no way Portugal is ranked higher than Korea in terms of safety.

Car culture holding us back we uset to be public transport like china and Europe but once cars came along we got rid of most of the trains and stuff …..any way the usa finally sees that we need more public transport and their finally starting to work on building more trains so that’s good at least

only the usa, the rest of the planet know what trains are

@@tatsuyaaikawa7185 I have a feeling that the US is still going to be quite slow in catching up ☹️ And there are still a good amount of politicians/voters who have little interest in spending taxpayer money on public transportation. But I hope I'm wrong!

@Oh Hi there must be some other nations that don't have good public transportation.. but as far as "major" countries go, you're right - the USA is "special" 🙄

@@FlavorofMind alright, name a few, you can google if you want :)

Glad you enjoyed it!

Hello, I came across this by chance and answered you. / Racism is very rare in Korea. The security is safe and the people are kind, but there are people who spit on the road, mostly middle-aged, old people, and Chinese. Smoking is allowed only in designated areas, but you can also smoke in the alleys.

Every country has it’s pros and cons. As Finnish I admire and respect South-Korea’s work-life, clean streets, well-mannerism, mandatory military service and education because of our culture has same links to it.

And yet foreigner say that korean in korea have no expression on their faces and even in europe, they make mean faces to strangers. East asian are generally cold and never smile to strangers so I dont understand you lying about it. Clealry the majority of you have no problem woth it.The only asian who are warm at first contact are southeast like filipino. With chinese being the most rude and impolite but I'm used to it as I grew up in their community. The robot stereotype of east asian didnt came out of nowhere.

@olkdks I know! I cannot agree with you more and that's what I'm talking about. I don't understand why you are thinking I'm lying. I'm saying the same thing. The important point I was trying to say is that all sorts of common things around us, regardless big or small, that seemingly most of us are so used to so that we don't seem to have no problem with, does not mean we have no idea it's a bad or unreasonable thing or don't feel comfortable with it. I totally agree that mostly east Asians are cold, timid, not smily and I always realllllly hated that. And also agree with that south east asians being nice and much more smily and confident in the way talk, behave, dance and treat strangers too. That's actually one of the things I've alwas thought of too. I understand you cound easily think that we are OK with it and we are not aware of it but you know, actually it is not! If you really get to talk with people about it, mostly they already know it well and even often bothered by it like me although they behave like they don't know. A lot of time, in any place of the globe, the social environment impacts you much more than original yourself. It's really hard and takes long time for an individual to change the society but society instantly change the way individuals behave in a moment. It's just that there's stuff you are not happy with but it's been the way it is and not easily change. We Koreans also don't understand why Koreans only steal bicycles not phones and laptops, why don't start a small talk when deep down we are really in for it and wanna care and help others. And toooo shy to dance the way we feel from very young age. Speaking of age, age is a huge factor that affects almost everything in the way we meet people and live our lives here. And of course, like I sad, we Koreans hate that so much! Surely there are many pros of Korea that I love and find very efficient. And also those can be things that's not common in other countries on the other hand. Nothing is to be taken for granted. I really hope and want Korea to improve all the cons and keep bettering itself even though that's gonna take a long time. So I'm trying my best to be smily and cooperative with strangers (but not nosy) and always hold doors for people behind me. I contact administrative department asking for improvement when I go through some kinds of uncomfortable or unreasonable operation.

I mean the whole purpose of the video is to talk about these. They are not saying every single person in Korea is like this, but that they have seen these

Why attract in the Canada I see a lot of asian people who immigrate their ?

@@eaglegolden8326 In my case, I landed in Vancouver as dependant of my parents who applied for PR. At that time, my parents in fifties had to be ready for their retirement as South Korea's pension plan from government was going to be deficit in my parents' turn of the retirement age.

The spitting is annoying to hear, but I will take that over weed/vape/smoke in front of your face even when it’s a clearly prohibited area.

Can't agree more. It's the best!

한국인들은 다소 남을 너무 쳐다봐서 불편할 때가 있습니다. 한국인으로서도 그럴때가 있는데 독특하거나 하면 더 쳐다봐요. 그런건 좀 무례한 일이죠. 제발 관심 좀 꺼 달라고 속으로 생각합니다.

​@@minoshomeㄹㅇ 한국인이어도 엄청 쳐다봄

As a Black man I get annoyed when I'm in an Asian restaurant eating with chopsticks and people stare as if they've never seen anyone eat with them before. I learned how to use them in 1976 on my first tour in South Korea using the flat metal ones not the wood ones.

그냥 호기심이많구나 생각하면 편함 한국은 농경사회 공동체 문화였음. 온동네사람들이 서로의 젓가락 갯수까지 알던 관계였음. 대를 이어서 평생을 함께 한동네에서 협동으로 농사를 짓고 사니까.. 사람들간에 벽이 없었던것임. 다가족같으니까 걱정이나 참견을 하는것임. 근데 시대가 바뀌고 개인주의가 생기니까 이제그게 무례하고 불편한것으로 인식되었음. 농경사회라 사람의 이동도 적어서 외부인에대한 경계가 있었던것임. 그래서 새로운 사람들이 보이면 굉장히 궁금해하고 사적인 질문들을 할때가있는것임. 시대가 바뀌어도 사회적dna도 유전이되니 쉽게변하지는 않아서 그런거니.. 기분나쁠 필요는없음.

Yeah she clearly is not aware she has supermodel looks.

@@Nazrel98 I think its not that different from other countries like regional , political ,gender, generation conflicts. Back in days in Korea, regional conflict is so seveal especially people in one region called people in other region communist, or North Korean. I think regional conflict is not that harsh these days but gender conflict is now quite big and it is related to political, social issues like birth rate, wage gap, job opportunities and army(why only man should go to army)

no she is just white 😂

@@imadtorch8770 She’s pretty. It’s not about being white. 90% of people interviewed were white. He didn’t say all foreigners were gorgeous, did he? She’s white that’s why she thinks everyone is nice. They wouldn’t be that nice to a local darker skin Korean. They wouldn’t be nicer to the black foreigners.

I was surprised by that and then thought oh yeah it's because she's a pretty girl. Of course everyone wants her number (guys/girls both want to be friends with pretty girls right?). I'm in my 40's. Then I remembered when I visited Seoul some other middle aged dude wanted to exchange numbers with me. I gave him my Kaotalk ID instead. I was thinking he just wanted to practice English with me maybe? I left Seoul and haven't heard from him since.

For example?

@@happy-nb9jd too many to put in a message haha, similar to the people in the video. Surprisingly many ppl in Seoul dont speak English

As a korean, i have seldom seen such a person spitting around me. In Korea, it is not accepted normally and considered as impolite and disgusting behavior.

Why do you blame Chinese? Please admit what's wrong. Koreans spit a lot.

Korea hardly has heavy fines for anything minor unfortunately

뭔 중국인 탓이야. 한국인 20대 젊은애들 앉아서 담배피고 일어나면 그 바닥에 침으로 한강이다. 진짜 역겹고 드러워서 정말.

인종차별이야..좀 적당히해.

I guess it's going to change with the influx of foreign people and young people try to change the extreme group mentality. I think Korea had to deal with big nations like China and Japan which are aggressive neighbors and invaded 900 times combined so those group mentality was needed to survive. It's just my thought

​@Don Lee me too.

Hopefully someday

Why do you think Koreans are being so kind?

@@jessmax99 She's attractive and that's universal, in Korea or anywhere else, for boys and girls etc

yea she’s a white pretty blonde. for other foreigners the treatment is complete opposite of what she described

Thought the same bro. lol
