I also had a question if you can answer please. We know that BTS is all sharing about mental health and talking about bullying and about young generation and stuff but I still have not seen any kind of improvement in korean people's mindsets? If that makes sense?? Its like all BTSs hard work has gone into waste to wake up the society. Even the kdrama stories are all the same. There are students getting bullied and attempting suicide, people abusing power, nobody giving shit about one's mental health. Don't you think these dramas are just showing the real face of their country, not making people aware about these issues.?? I wanted detailed answers of some questions from the video but They were short.

I used to have random Korean students ask to have simple conversations with me back in university to practice their English skills on. This was already almost 20 yrs ago, but i could just imagine that it has just gotten more popular to have Koreans and other foreigners fly out to the Philippines for their college education because of the relatively cheaper but quality education and being predominantly English speaking.

I like you guys and I'm not trying to be rude, but...on the topic of the role of women in society. You 2 said you felt the book was over exaggerated, but your female colleagues said it was on point. Then you said - so it's somewhere in the middle?? That's like me reading a book about Korea (as an American) and you reading a book about Korea - and then both of us giving opinions on whether we think it's accurate. Mine is based only on my perspective of what I see. Yours is based on living the life everyday for your whole life. Whose is most accurate of a representation? Just saying that if your female colleagues are saying it's accurate, you should lean towards the fact that it's accurate. Your perceptions are not based on living life as a female - you're missing a lot of the subtle struggles because you just can't see it from where you are. I just feel like you judged your perceptions and the female colleagues perceptions as equal status - which, of course, it's not. Their perception, as the demographic being discussed, holds far more weight than yours.

Of course, the Korean females perception and experiences, hold far more value than the men's, when it comes to the female struggles in Korea. However, as men, they provided their perception, which was that it does happen but they can't attest how much it happens, so the safer thing to say would be its in the middle, rather than an extreme yes or an extreme no. And I think, they also like saying it that way, so not to soil the name of Korea. But that's just my hunch. Like in my country, if people ask me, how much do people here break traffic rules - I would say a lot but I don't have a car of my own to atteast to the fact that A LOT of people here break rules. But when I hear from people, those who do travel, they say no one follows the rules at all. Now, as a person from that country, if I have to explain this to a foreigner, I can't just, "everyone breaks the rules in my country" - My country looks awful and then that would mean I am painting every person in the same light. So I would say, many do and many don't, it depends from person to person but yes, it does happen. I feel like this is what these two wanted to say. But of course, the females who experienced it, would have a more valubale answer and accuracy rate than what these two say. But they did provide us with their opinion. I am not trying to be rude or anything. Please don't take this as any hate. I have perceived their response in this way. I could be wrong but this is what I think.

To be fair Koreans' perceptions of the West has been shaped by many Hollywood movies for decades and America as the land of dreams come true. That may have influenced a lot of immigration to the US. I know this first hand as an immigrant baby back in 1975; I've seen over the years so many failed dreams but yet Koreans still get lulled to go to America. Of course many of us did succeed but not without incredible costly struggle and sacrifice.

There have been cases where these feminist groups out gay men without their permission. A lot of foreigners just think that koreans just hate feminism cause they're conservative, but that's not exactly true. I've met a lot of very open minded koreans who have also been against feminism.

Idols do this because their relationships are very similar to that kinda friend groups. Source: I'm asian and its pretty common among most of my friend groups.

Before I went to Korea I was told that everyone was so friendly and polite, when I went to Korea I experienced the opposite. However, upon reflection I think it's just down to the people you bump into in the world - some will be nice, some not so much. I don't think it should give you an opinion on the country as a whole. Will I visit Korea again after my experience with those few people? Absolutely! I also think that these things can be down to cultural differences that we have to learn and accept with one another :) P.s. I bumped into a lot of students that wanted me to be a part of a 'Christian cult' in Hongdae - would be so great if you guys can do a video on that :)

I visited Korea in 2019 with my 2 daughters and we found people were very friendly and helpful. People of all ages and genders offered help with directions etc and they often approached us first to ask if we needed help. They seemed really happy when we spoke to them in Korean even though we only knew the basics (a few sentences/words). An older gentleman came up to us and shook our hands to say thank you for British help in the Korean war! One young man even walked with us to SM Town when we asked for directions. School children greeted us and one even bowed to me. We loved our time there and would definitely visit again.

6:56 For the wheelchair question no, it's not easy, especially with a manual chair (but I can understand why you would think that if you don't use one since you don't know what to look for). Even Seoul was very difficult to get around in because it's extremely hilly at random points. I'm talking steep ass if you lose your grip you're going to roll backwards and probably die hills. And because it's hilly, a lot of shops are built on the incline, so they need a set of steps or one step to get in, so then you can't just roll in. It's not the worst city in the world to go around in a wheelchair in because most of it is on the new side, a lot of sidewalks are wide, and people are very helpful, but it can be very challenging. And like taxis in other countries, drivers will just refuse to take you because even if you can tranfser yourself into the car they don't want to load your chair into the trunk (even though they load suitcases). A lot of places you might want to shop or eat in are simply just small or in buildings without elevators. Some of the restaurants we visited had stairs with no handrail even. If you stick to the touristy sites like indoor museums it's not so bad, but a lot of the historical sites are inaccessible because they aren't going to damage old buildings to put ramps in. You can see the outside, but not go in. A lot of traditional restaurants too have stairs inside because you take off your shoes and then go up a few stairs to the actual eating area. I would not have been able to visit and see as much as I did had I not been able to walk a little and had help from my friends carrying my chair. People have made vlogs about using a wheelchair in Korea, so I would look at those or even just regular vlogs and look at the streets as they walk around. Everyone has different capabilities in a wheelchair, so there is no one size fits all answer. Out of the entire country though, Seoul is the most accessible.

You said "bike stamps" and I knew what I'm going to do next time I go to Korea! BIKE TOUUUUR! Also for people thinking to go to SK, you should go! I did a 1-month trip across the country with my boyfriend and it was amazing. People were super nice, we didn't have any bad experience, nature was great (if you like hiking for example), food too of course and we really had a great time.

@Aas We only used buses and trains when it took too long by bus. Then, since it was a long trip, we only planned the first days in Seoul (airbnb) and then were deciding what to do depending on the weather. So we had a rough plan of what we wanted to do or visit before leaving and then planned step by step. Since we went mid-September to mid-October, there were not many tourists and we could travel quietly without too much stress!

@@Yoga_Friend Depends on your budget. I was with my boyfriend and we're both working so I would say 2500-3000€ including flights, visits, accommodation, etc. Not including the food! I didn't count that. For your stay, it's hotels or Airbnb... Really depends on what you want and can afford, we used hotel comparators to check prices. What I've done is spend hours on blogs and vlogs, note down what I wanted to do/visit, then plan around those things (like sleeping in a hanok, visit X museum, go hiking in Seoraksan, going to Everland)...

You're making me want to visit again! I definitely recommend getting out of Seoul, and I didn't know very much Korean when I went but could at least read Hangul. I rented a car and drove all over the country. People were friendly and helpful, from the cities to the smaller towns to the rest stops along the road. Best food I had was actually street vendor food in Daegu followed by a reststop somewhere between Gongju and Yesan. Not that anyone asked. lol! I can't wait until I can travel again and go back there and explore more.

People were very friendly and helpful when I was there. Being able to read Hangeul helped quite a bit even if I didn’t know what every word meant. Knowing some conversational Korean was good also. It broke the ice and I felt like people genuinely appreciated my effort especially older Koreans. South Korea is a beautiful country and the mixture of the old and new side by side in places like Seoul is amazing to see and experience. Can’t wait to visit again and spend some more time exploring Busan and Jeju.

Exactly, that’s what i like about Korean culture.

Of course, like in everything they’re not perfect and maybe there a few things that can be handle better. But I think the same as you about not wanting SK to get “contaminated” with the western culture.

I guess I'm a Koreaboo then because I'm practicing Korean daily, I teaching English to a class of Korean teens online each week, and I googled a local Christian Korean congregation so I could go to church and see what it's like to worship in Korean. It was an event where anyone in attendance can stand and introduce themselves and say what's on their kind or heart regarding being grateful to God for this or that blessing in their lives. I decided to try getting up to stand in front of them all, I introduced myself in Korean, and I explained that I found Korean music and dramas during a time when I could not stop crying after my mom passed away. So, it was kind of my way of giving my thanks and also showing my appreciation to the Koreans there for the beauty of the culture and everything I'm learning. All of this has helped to bring me out of a sadness and anxiety that I couldn't handle before the past 2 years when I found BTS. Oh, and after the meeting, 10 or 11 people came to meet me and thanked me for speaking. They told me I was very brave and they invited me to come again whenever I want to. Two Korean women asked for my number and gave me their numbers. One said she would like to invite me to her home, and the other said she will help me learn Korean if I help her learn English. It was a really surprising time because I was nervous they wouldn't want me to be there. But everyone was very warm, welcoming, and kind.

In my country there is also a lot people who like skinship but not everyone and that's the same in Korea you can see that some people don't like skinship at all or don't think of it and that other people love it and are very touchy. So it's a mix of culture and personnality.

I'm sorry, I do like this channel, but saying "I'm a man, I don't know much about this.... I thought that it was exaggerated" seemed like gaslighting to me. Why is it that when women speak up, people (mostly men) think that they're trying to be victims? It's like, men don't want to accept their privilege in society. It's obviously not an issue limited to SK, but I do watch videos, Ted Talks and stuff about women from SK, and it's pretty much evident from SK media too about how women are treated there. I'm from India, and I relate to so many women in SK. When I heard you both say that, I got reminded of the people in my own country who refuse the term "feminism" and think it's not inclusive of men, or who think that men are ones oppressed or even that gender issues don't exist. There is not "middle ground" when it comes to feminism.
