My daughter went to Korean school and when they heard her speak Korean, the elders were very taken in by her. They loved working with her when it came to traditional korean inki and brush writing. The elderly women would argue with each other on who was going to be her teacher for the day. When she went in to be tested in her language skills, she thought she was a beginner but she tested as an advanced student, Where did she learn the language? She learned from dramas and she learned Hangul writing from her Tae kwon do Masters and their parents. She is a 3rd degree black belt, working on becoming a master herself.

I love the word "cute" for describing foreigners who love Korean food. 😊

Eating in Korea was interesting sometimes. Especially the older people in the restaurants smiled and watched me eating when I was happy with the food I had 😄

I lived in Seoul for a few months in 1997-1998, playing with a singer named Lee Seung Hwan. We did a tour, which was actually in Seoul except for one or two shows. I really enjoyed meeting the Korean people. I guess that would be "old" music today. I loved the food. Seung Hwan and our other hosts would take us to American restaurants at first, but we told them we always ate Korean food when we were out on our own, they started to take us to Korean restaurants that they liked. I think it is exactly as you said--that they were afraid we would not like Korean food. But most Americans from larger cities are familiar with all types of Asian food, and enjoy eating the authentic versions when traveling!! Good luck with your channel.

I've lived here in Korea for almost a decade now, and i think this video is sensationally accurate. Excellent advice!

We Love Positivity... Keep up the great videos

Congratulations, Danny! I love when the good people with big hearts get the recognition instead of the haters.

Congratulations Danny on 100,000 subscribers! 🎉❤

I am looking forward to my first trip to Korea next month, and I really enjoy your gentle tips for visitors. You are such a gentleman, in the truest sense of the word. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. You are a wonderful ambassador for your country and people.

Dan, I think you shared a lot of great tips for people not just visiting Korea but interacting with Korean-Americans in the USA. I have been married to a beautiful Korean lady for 48 years and even lived in Korea for 5 years. I enjoy good Gugak (Song So-hee in particular) and Trot music. While I can't eat the strong spicy food there is plenty I like. Before I ever went to Korea for the first time I studied the history and traditions and also the concepts and ideas of Confucianism because I was informed that if you understand that I would understand much about Korean society.

Dan in a suit! In celebration of the 100,000 subscribers? In any case, congratulations. Glad your channel‘s thriving.

I am so happy I found your channel! I've subscribed. I am a huge fan of K-dramas, and have always been impressed with the culture, especially the respect that is shown. I am 72 and wished I had a better memory, so I could learn more of the language, while watching the shows. I do recognize many phrases when they are spoken though, which makes me happy. Thank you for having such a wonderful channel, especially for K-drama lovers like myself.

Thank you, Danny for a very good final message! Please, spread love and kindness, so badly needed in the fast growing industrialized world.

Korean food is THE BEST, I don’t know how I ever lived without it and now I eat it all the time. Love your Brittish accent 🫶

Congratulation to your 100.000 and much more sucess to your fabolous channel, interesting videos, charming you! Yes, all items you say suits to me! I am totally in love with Korean culture, food and language. My professional K teacher lives in Seoul, we have class 3-4 times a week, he is a very good singer too. As an author I have 2 novels in progress, one takes place 2018 in Seoul, the other 1192 in Goryeo. I will come as soon as possible to sightseeing Korea. And visiting Zaneuk ... with my teacher. Hope one day we can meet us there! 감사합니다. 곧 봐요! 💝Love from Austria, Europe

I love korean food ! I love trying new things to eat and not to mention your culture is such a nice one!

Danny, you are an amazing person. I've recently gotten hooked onto K-Dramas and Chinese dramas. I have many Korean friends here in California who've shared their favorite local dishes with me that I've grown to love. I'm Hawaiian, Chinese and Portuguese. Being from Hawai'i, I grew up eating all types of Kimchi and can't get enough of it. This segment is my first introduction to your channel. I believe that everyone should respect and honor people of all cultures, especially our elders. I've learned many basic words and phrases, and my friends enjoy me using them. Mahalo plenty for sharing your information with us.🌺🤙❤️

congratulations on 100k. I feel as part of one's language learning, it's so important to learn about the culture. I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to knowledge and I like learning how things came about too. I hope that people become more respectful towards people and their culture. Let's all respect and support each other because at the end of the day we live on the same planet but live differently.

I love korea so much and especially traditional outfits and architecture! and i love Gugak music a lot as well💜 congratulations!

You deserve having all those subscribers Dan. Congratulations!

Hi Dan, thank you so much for the videos. You inspired me to visit Incheon a few weeks ago where some lovely things happened. I went to have lunch near Jayu Park and was enjoying a hangover soup in a restaurant. Halfway through my meal, an Ajumma, who I hadn't spoken to at all, decided to pay for my lunch! Now that I've seen your video (1st point) I think I know why she paid for my meal. The other nice thing was when I was looking at the Tri-bowl, another Ajumma who worked at the Tourist centre started chatting and she took me out for dinner too! Incheon is definitely a place to visit. Thank you for all the travel tips Dan 🙂

New to your channel! Congrats on the 100k subscribers! I think 1) respecting your elders and 2) respecting the culture of the country you're visiting should be common courtesy. I'd love to try some Korean food when I visit, but as much as I like a little spice, I can't handle the real spicy food. I love Korea, when I watch any historical dramas of the Joseon Dynasty or early 1920s-1930s, I always research later because I want to understand how much of the drama was based on true historical facts and this way I learn more about the history of your country. I love learning about other cultures, languages and food and comparing to see the similarities as well as the differences in our cultures.

I love this video! Super helpful info! Thank you so much for sharing! 🫶

Dan, 안녕하세요. I wanted to say thank you for your time and effort in making these videos. I am traveling to Seoul for the first time this year with my bff, and your videos have been going a long way in helping me prepare and put my mind at ease. Through my friend, and favorite group, I have been learning alot about Korean people, culture, food, and beauty, and it's been incredible 🥰. So thank you once again, and I look forward to more content. Also congrats on over 100K subscribers!

축하해요! Thank you for another enlightening video.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I'm adding this to my 'visit Korea' playlist.

Thank you young man!! Very helpful! You are so amazing!!❤

Thank you so much you’re so good at explanation.

Very informative thank you really enjoyed it ❤

Gamsahabnida this video was awesome! Very helpful! Congratulations on the 100,000 subscribers 🎉!

I love your tip for taking a full shot ❤ This is the easiest tip i ever heard 😊

You have shared some great and helpful information . Thank you.

Congratulations on 102.000 subscribers!!🎉❤❤ your channel helps me with understanding Korean culture since I want to move there someday 🇰🇷😁

Congratulations Danny on 100,000subscribers!! You are so great at what you do, and I, for one really look forward to your content! I think when I was in Korea, I tried to do a lot of the things you suggest. I did not learn any old songs or take great photos! However, many Korean locals would offer to take our pictures and that was great! And I’m in love with food! No problem there! A good topic!❤❤

Congrats on 100,000 subscribers. You are awesome.

Love this video. Thank you Dan. I think this can be applied to visiting all countries. ❤

Thank you for this post!

Thanks so much for the info. I especially appreciate you asking people to be kind in the comments. That's very sweet. 🙏🏼

CONGRATS ON 100k!!!

Hi Dan, I trust this message finds you in good spirits. Congratulations on crossing 100,000 subscribers 🎉🎊 I wanted to take a moment to express my recent fascination with the captivating portrayal of Korean culture in Kdramas. Despite their fictional nature, these dramas consistently highlight values of decency and integrity, often in contrast to certain depictions in Western movies. The characters in Kdramas frequently embody admirable morals and principles, making the viewing experience truly enriching and inspiring for me. I dream of visiting Korea one day to fully immerse myself in its rich culture, witness its stunning beauty firsthand, and indulge in its delicious cuisine. Your videos are not only highly informative but also a source of joy for me, particularly with your eloquent English and remarkable accent. Keep up the fantastic work!😊

Hey Dan, congratulations on 100,000 subscribers 👏. Thanks for sharing. Love Korean food and culture. Hope to visit someday 😊

Congratulations on 100k Danny. So awesome.

Ohhh! I just discover your channel, Dan, and thank you very much for this soooo useful video! A Korean KZfaqr in France taught me the clapping used to cheer up Korea 😃 I always stand for Korea and Korean culture… I even present conferences about the links between Pop Culture and K-Pop to promote Korean culture beyond What people know about K-Pop, cause Korean culture is amazing! Thanks again, and hugs from France 🇫🇷 !

Thank you so much, it helped a lot knowing what preparations I need to do.

Your videos are beneficial; thank you for taking the time to research and post them. I agree; taking the time to research and understand the culture and people does help, as well as learning simple words and phrases. Korea is such a beautiful country, and I'm thankful I was able to experience it firsthand six months ago. Everyone I met while I was there was kind and helpful. I felt safe everywhere I went especially since I took a solo trip. However, I will admit two weeks is definitely not long enough to visit, so my next planned trip will be longer. I look forward to when that happens. Also congrats on reaching 100K subscribers!

Congrats on 10k Great video

Good to see you posting more. I was there in 2017 and was already in to Korean culture. I was there to see the historical places first. Those I spoketo where very impressed of my knowledge and being in awe of the historical places. It really s incredible being in places you see in historical dramas. Knowing its been around for hundreds of years. Love kpop but still cant get into the older music though!

Hope you make more about Korea🙌Love it🙏Thank you for all this information.

Please make a part 2 of this video . I want to learn about the physical aspect of this subject. Controversial is fun 😊

Thanks. I obviously have some studying to do before I travel to Korea this autumn.

Congratulations Dan!!! I enjoyed this video. I can relate to most of the things you have mentioned they are also on my list. Thank you ❣️🇺🇸

This was great thank you! And Congratulations on 100k🎉🎉🎉

New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've been in love with culture my entire life and I hope to save up and visit Korea and Japan in a few years and have been trying to find hands-on, trustworthy sources to learn not just the language, but the culture as well as while I think I've got a good grasp of the basics, I'm still woefully ignorant of a lot of the nuances. I appreciate the honesty you bring to your videos and the boundaries you place and I hope to use the knowledge I learn from you, and other generous creators to fully enjoy my, eventual, experience in Korea. It's been such a fun journey so far to learn all there is to learn and I very much look forward to more informational, and fun, videos from you. Your work and your dedication is appreciated.

What a fabulous video reallly loved it. Hello from London keep up the good work

Gratz on 100K! 👍🏻😁 Knew it could happen! WOOT!

My wife and I are planning to go to Korea in Jan / 25. She is a massive Fan of K-dramas, and recognizes many of the actors already. So now it's my job to.learn as many Korean norms, culture and language to get there and not commit social faux pas. Gotta watch all your videos, mate!

My first video from you, and I find it really informative 🙂 I like to learn about cultures in other countries 🙂

I am a new subscriber to your channel, and I have to admit I really enjoy your content. I hope you keep up the good work and know that there are people out here who will continuously support you like me! Thank you for what you do.

I only watch Korean TV Drama shows and I’m planning on visiting one day, I can’t wait to eat Tabbokki

Congratulations Dan, that is a great achievement, loved your video, very informative. I love Korean food, kimchi is so clean, delicious, and good for the gut.

I had the trip of a lifetime visiting Korea over the past two weeks. Thank you for your tips and insight which helped me make the most of my trip 🤝

This a great video, it’s so good 👍🏻

First time to the channel. Subscribed. Great video. Congrats on 100k. Yippee! A plaque from KZfaq.

I'm currently learning Korean and i've just discovered your channel :) I think it's very interesting to get the opinions of a native Korean person hehe ... Thanks for sharing them! Now I'm gonna check your other videos ☺

Congratulations on the 100k!!!!

Congratulations 🍾 🎉 so proud of your accomplishment ❤

That was a cute video. Thank you. ❤

100k subscribers, is well deserved. Korean food is flying off the shelves at Trader Joe’s. I have the short ribs but need the fried kimchi rice and Tteokbokki to complete my menu. It is a fun thing to do and of course many thanks to you for sparking this interest. Keep up the good work.

“Someone who takes good pictures”…I didn’t see that coming 🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations on reaching 100,000 viewers!

Wise points to think over. They can also apply to other countries and other cultures！ Just be respecting, caring and sweet to any nice people anywhere on this planet and you may make easier connections.

Love it! I'm going to show it to my clients before we go to S. Korea!

Thank you for the tips.

Congratulations on 100k subscribers,that’s awesome! I love to eat and I always enjoy trying different foods. Every time I travel I always like to 0:06 try the special food of that country. I like to learn a few words too! I always ask how do I say this when I travel to a different country, breaks the ice and people are friendly if you try to say at a couple of words in their language. I loved this video! Thanks

I just stumbled across your video (and now I am a subscriber). Keep up the great content and if you do make the video on how to take pictures I can't wait to see it.

Congrats Dan!! Love all these tips! I really enjoyed my trips to Korea before and I hope to visit again! :) I do enjoy chanting 대한민국!!

Congratulations on reaching a milestone with subscribers! I really enjoy your content! 😀🥂🎉

This was a beautiful video! I have such affection for Korea and Koreans. All these little tips made me feel as though I was given permission to feel the way I do! During a time when love and admiration of another culture can be considered cultural appropriation and angrily looked down upon, it’s heartwarming to know that many Koreans understand and may even approve of foreigners who have great respect and adoration for their culture, and feel blessed to be able to take part in some of their traditions, foods and language. I think it’s another way of spreading the love!

Thank you so much for making such interesting and informative videos . Today is my first day. I just found out your channel, and i really liked it . Please make more videos about korean culture , tradition, and living style. i guarantee that everyone is going to love them . And i personally want to learn about korean culture tradition and language, like how you take to elders when you meet, i really want to know about korean language, their different slang and dialects so please makes more videos about it . I really liked your videos. Your videos are so informative and you described every thing very calmly didn't rushed so i like your way of making videos, i just loved it and i learned a lot so i hope you are going to make more videos

As always Dan I have enjoyed this video. I might be able to visit Korea for the first time this summer and your tips will help me to feel less anxious and nervous. Congratulations on the subscribers and may I say, you look very handsome today.

Congratulations on the 100k followers. Always nice tips!

Congratulations on your milestone! 🎉 And thanks the tips. I am visiting Korea in September.

I loved this video and congrats for 100,00 subcribers!!!!🎉
