@김요한이야기 I understand what you went through and how hard it was because I am an Asian too but you can't just stereotype a whole race (I guess) just because you faced harsh treatment from some of them. Not everyone are like them. This is the same way as non-asians stereotyping Asians as racists.

[@arduous222]

I lived most of my life in Korea, but several years ago, I visited Germany without any company. I once left my phone in one of the toilets in a large train station. Luckily, a young man found that and returned it to me. There were several other occasions that I left my stuff but locals were kind enough to give it back to me even after several hours. Of course I might be just lucky, but I think we all are good and kind people, and want to believe that we Koreans are not that special. Someday we may be able to walk any corner of the Earth and still fully trust any stranger we meet.

The big focus on appearance obviously has good sides and bad sides, but one aspect I absolutely love about it is all the amazing Korean skincare! They really care about the ingredients and formula being good for the skin. A lot of k-beauty products don't really include denatured alcohol, sulfates, parabens, silicones and unnecessary fragrance like a lot of western brands do (not all of them of course). Most of my skincare products are Korean and it feels like a dream to use them!

@@paulina5772 The brands I've tried and will continue purchasing are I'm From, Cosrx, Sioris, Beauty of Joseon, Purito, Iunik and Isntree. I want to try The Plant Base as well but haven't yet. I also recommend La'dor which is a Korean haircare brand! The specific products I have from these brands will be too many to list but everyone's skin is different and have different needs, so it's important to read which skin type the products are targeting and analyze the ingredients, just for information sake!

@@Lina-sk It is important to know that Korean culture is different from the West and not multicultural. You have to admit that the culture here is different from yours. Almost all foreigners don't even keep this basic fact. I have only seen one foreigner who truly understands Korea in all my life. So I recommend foreigners not to come to Korea. This is unfortunate for both sides. The culture here is so different that you'll never accept it. And foreigners, don't say wrong prejudices about Korea. For example, suicide rates or plastic surgery are not true. Koreans don't like foreigners because of all these misunderstandings

[@윤현준-l8p]

[@윤현준-l8p]

​@@Lina-sk You foreigners never try to understand Korean culture nor accept that it is different. Why do we have to be like yours? Why is our way and culture wrong? Why should we abandon our ways and our culture? Is it so hard to understand that mono-ethnic countries like Korea and Japan can be different? Why do foreigners hide their shortcomings and only highlight Korea's shortcomings? It is not Koreans but foreigners who cause problems here. I have never heard the news that a foreigner was attacked in Korea, but I have heard the news that a Korean was attacked in a foreign country thousands more times. Korea is rather too generous to foreigners. Do you think we don't know that you foreigners always ignore, gossip, and antagonize Korea with wrong prejudice? Don't bother us, just get out of here

[@Lina-sk]

@@윤현준-l8p uhh honey you didn't understand my point and you go blabbering around for nothing. I live in Korea and I am engaged to a Korean so my understanding of the culture is quite extensive. Also I am studying the language and I have deep appreciation for most of the traditions and customs. With that being said I didn't condemned Korea for being different! It's only normal to be different. My point was that this girl makes it look like Korea is extremely safe and open to foreigners... but that's not the truth. I'm speaking from my personal experience. Also you are Korean so you already know how many problems this country has with crimes but you are too blinded by hatred for foreigners to accept that my point is valid.

As a Korean born American living half of my life in Korea and other half in the States, this is really interesting and pretty accurate! Born and raised in Korea and moving to America has broaden my eyes very much. I can tell you with confidence that if I were kept living in Korea I would have been more conservative and introverted. One thing I didnt like about living in Korea was that there was no much of individual characteristics. People all wear what others wear and do whatever others do. But coming here in the States I learned more about myself, what I like and what I really want. As you said I would not say its either good or bad thing but I do think that its definitely good for you experience both and find the balance.

Im Korean living in the west and thats sth i really miss as well, the sense of community, respect and companionship for others. In korea, kids as young as 6 go out by themselves to school or playground etc... cuz we don't teach the kids the idea of strangers danger, instead teach them to ask for help from any random adults if needed. Parents also have a faith in the society and others that if my child is in difficulties, people will voluntarily help them out. Thats a sense of trust shared in the society, dont get me wrong that there are many social issues in korea too and koreans are very critical of social problems and injustice.

The quiet on public transport sounds like absolute bliss! One of the things which annoys me faster than anything is when I'm trying to listen to music or just sit quietly and there always seems to be at least one person having a loud conversation either on the phone or in real life! I have amazing noise-cancelling headphones and even then it cuts through sometimes :/

[@mojpotep]

i am an exchange student in seoul, staying here for one semester and i want to comment on the quiet culture. so far everywhere i'd been in seoul, there was the quiet and respectful culture in public places, cafes, buses, shops, metros... then i went on a one week bicycle journy to busan, and oh are they loud in the countryside. the quiet culture is much less present in the villages. i took online classes in cafes whilst on the road and the customers in the cafes were so loud i could barely hear my lectures. just an example that i think is very valuable to share.

[@UnJadedJade]

so glad to be back!! 🥰 expect a wholeee lot more of me hehe x

[@samanthasteven4308]

This was super interesting, thank you Jade. I really want to visit Seoul some day and would love a part 2 to this video x

[@danpress07]

I've never really fancied going to South Korea or any country in Asia really because I have never even been out of England but after watching this video it has mover into the top ten on my bucket list!

[@girl_over_the_moon]

Beautiful video, absolutely made my day just to see it! I've never been to Seoul but it's a great wish of mine, especially when seeing people like yourself just glow up when talking about your experiences of living there.

[@yamzeeii]

I'm really glad that you're enjoying here in Seoul, Korea :) 12:35 It reminded me of Everland when you mentioned Lotte World. It's not actually in Seoul, it's in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do. (Samsung owns this.) It's also a theme park and it's HUGE. It also has a zoo which is my favorite!

어떻게 하면 그렇게 얼굴에 미소가 떠나지 않을 수 있나요??? 우연히 알게되서 영상을 몇개 보니까 정말....미소가 아름답습니다. 얼굴에 계속 번져있는 그 미소가요... 제이드님하고 있으면 덩달아 주변사람들도 기분이 좋아지고 긍정적으로 바뀔거 같아요. 그래서 그런가 너무 아름답네요. 이 채널의 모든것이요.

OMG I am so excited for this new video, she is sooo inspiring, such an angel 🥰

[@valentino1646]

Ahh this makes me so happy!!! I've missed you Jade❤ Great video! I definitely want to visit South Korea one day, so a review by one of my favourite youtubers has definitely given me perspective on the culture there. Also, could you make a video on different Korean dishes you've tasted and what you think of each :)

[@megapuspitap]

Can relate so much!!! I remember i was sitting alone for dinner after exam. And the Ahjumma of the restaurant accompanied me to eat and gave me sweet potato and asked how's my exam. They are so kind~~~

[@alicefeel3918]

Sooo glad you’re back! Missed your energy and positivity so much ✨

[@kururu_jekkies]

I'm an Asian who love and have great interest in Korea. Eventho we have similar culture, the technology and privacy things are so amazing. This vlog is so amazing. You explained and presented everything I haven't known before. Bcuz of this vlog, the desire I want to go to Korea get stronger. I hope I could go to Korea one day. I found randomly one of your vlog today and this's the third one I'm currently watching. The way you speak and explain things are really admirable.🥰
