Same lol

same

Same, thought we'd get some Kim, Lee and Park but no

To explain a little bit (although you already may know) every "Kim" and every "Park" is not the "same". If you want to say the full name we put city names in front of the surname for example 김해 김씨 (Kim of Gimhae). So you could have the same surname Kim and not be related at all, but if you are a same Kim of Gimhae you might be related in some way. (I say might, because at one point in Korean History poor HIgh class people sold their family name to rich Low class people )

Well you're right about the Daehan part, it was the Daehan Empire, not the Han dynasty, but they did mention that Japan changed the name back to Joseon, which is more or less true

During the Japanes colonial era(1910~1945), Choseon didnt indicate name of "nation" but a "province" of the Japanese Empire. So, i can say that there isnt any error in this video.

@Hyeon pihcc As you know, literal Samhan(ma, jin, byeon)-era is former than Samguk-era. But, acutally, mahan was destroied in the end of 4th ceuntury, byeonhn is same with kaya(~593), and silla(~660? 668? 676? 936?) started out as the one of the jinhan's city state. Plus, silla which absored kaya(593) can be explained like byeon+jin, and it can be also applied to bakje-silla war(660~665). So samkuk-era is same with samhan-era in wilder sight.

일제 시대때는 식민지 조선이라는 말을 썼습니다

And in Japan they call North Korea "kitachousen" (north joseon), and South Korea kankoku (hanguk)

Japan,most annoying neigbour that also doesn't want anyone to come to his property.

Well I think the Chinese taught that practice to the Japanese. China used to call Japan "Wa" meaning barbarian against their wishes.

They tried to describe Korea as bad as possible, so implying vocabs that are less modernized, more vulgar etc. Japanese had the same ideology of Germans during WWII, of them being "superior than other races, thus have obligation to dominate others". The difference would be that German's side of story was spread around the world and criticized heavily, but it wasn't the case for Japan. So even today, it's quite easy to see old (30s or more) japanese think of Korea a lot lesser than what it actually is, and Japan being superior to Korea in every aspects.

​@@Carolus_Tsang And now japanese use that term while taking pride of their heritage

@@DavidJust99 yes and no. The ideology of Germany was more of separation and Japan is more about integration. They believed to be modern and superior, so they "had" to conquer the rest of East Asia to make the people Japanese. They committed genocide by imposing their culture and ideology. Germany was more about racial purity, Japan was more about cultural purity. Still it is a good way to compare and see causes and consequences of domination.

By last name, if you meant our surnames like kim(김), kang(강), lee(이), etc... yes its so common like kim is 40 something percent of the population, but the 2 letter names like 강준, 정원 are not that common.

Apparently, the current common surnames are because in old times only the noble class in Korea had family names. Sometimes the noble class would gift their own family name to someone of the lower class as a gift, elevating them and their family. And later when the laws changed so that the lower class could have a family name, many of them chose the important last names of the noble class or of people of legends as their family names. It resulted in many choosing the same family names. So now they have genealogy books and clans to differentiate the different family lines with the same family name. "Kim" is the most common last name currently in Korea and it literally means gold and it was a last name of a royal family back then. There are many different "Kim" clans, such as the Andong Kims, Gimhae Kims, and Nagan Kims. The clan name are usually of the originating town or city of the family. Also kinda weird calling it a last name because in Korea the family name comes before the given name.

I'm Corey *bob*

funny thing is Korea did same when unified Japan (Nippon) was established from savage state of Wui, Japan proposed Korea to call Japan(wui) as Nippon but Koreans (Chosen) refused and called them Wui

@@bigcan7493 it depends on where youre from actually. In the US, North America and South America are considered two different continents.

And you can find people saying it's only 5 or 4 continents as well. None of those are wrong. Just different. Regardless. No native English speaker is going to say "Americans" when referring to Canadians for example. It would just confuse the person you're talking to.

And the problem is that "America" was never the name of the country nor of the continent to begin with lol

I say this bc Asturian, Catalan, Italian, Latin, Romansch, Spanish, and Welsh still spell it “Corea”, and French and Portuguese, both with soft vs. hard C, use some sort of C-word.

But you can also say Bei Chaoxian for NK and Nan Chaoxian for SK, but this will piss off the S Koreans. You can also say Bei Han for NK and Nan Han for SK, but this will piss off the N Koreans.
