I do want to go back and teaching English there is a quick option and it has stereotypes but I truly want to be a source of help to students and as well learn more about Korea and about myself. Yes I like kpop, but that is not why I’m going. If anything while I was there as a student, I was more drawn to the fast paced city life and small cultural differences than the entertainment life itself.

@@PhDShelbyAdventures I disagree. My experience with learning a language that few outsiders speak: If you ask for a coffee in fluid grammatical English, some people will be frustrated that you're assuming they speak English. If you ask for a coffee like in the video, some people will find you patronising. If you ask for a coffee with a bad attempt the native language, some people will wish you'd just asked in English, or seen your white face and assumed you're not trying to speak the native language. Some people will be frustrated you're using them to practice the language. As a traveller, some people are just going to dislike you. The key is to ignore it and transmit information in the least ambiguous way. As a native, if you want tourists to contribute to your economy, you're just going to have to adapt to basic handsigns.

Countries in Asia will pay twice or even triple the average salary for an American teacher. I met a lot of American teachers that were simply tired of being overworked, underpaid, and unappreciated in American schools. A lot of international schools in Asia will even cover the cost of the teacher's travel expenses and arrange a home for them to live in when they arrive, so it's very convenient. ***WARNING: You still need to be careful when accepting jobs in a foreign country and read your employment contract carefully. There are unaccredited schools out there that take advantage of foreign teachers. Always do your research!

A friend of mine has lived both in Seoul & outside of Seoul for multiple years. She prefers the country. Said people in Seoul were more distant. They assumed all foreigners are there temporarily and avoided developing close friendships her. However, she immediately reported that living in the country is way more inviting and warm. She has friends who are like family to her there now. I will say she started learning Korean years before she moved there, so communicating in Korean was never an issue for her. If you are able to get over the language hurdle and find a supportive community, living abroad becomes easier. Same experience for a friend in Fukuoka, Japan. Learning Japanese and building a community of lasting friendships made that area more comfortable to her than the U.S.

Real talk, I never wanted to go to South Korea until I started watching K-dramas & listening to K-pop. The Hallyu wave in 2009 was my exposure to a more modern South Korean society from the old Korean war stories my grandfather told me. By the time I went to Korea I was out of my fangirl phase, but I have to give the industry respect for exposing the world to a country that is legit the size of a small U.S. state.

@tiffteaa Exactly! It’s frustrating when bad apples in a fandom make the entire fandom look bad. I’m an ARMY, and was introduced to the korean culture because of bts. However, I feel uncomfortable saying that because i feel like people think I only wanna visit there in hopes I meet BTS or an idol and fall in love LMAO. I guess it kinda makes sense though, because usually anyone outside of the usa or even outside of Los Angeles (where I am from) think that we all see celebrities walking down the street 24/7 when that’s untrue, at least for me.

Watching this video gives me life. I'm in the process of finishing college. I'm planning to start my move to Korea within the next few years. I'm a science major and looking forward to a new life in korea. Also, great job with all of the interviews Alex! I really liked everyone's different perspectives and that everyone was given a chance to speak without interruption. Good job!
