[@rg_888]

That's easy to say, and it sounds great in theory. Actually in most cases I would agree. But what about when some part of the local culture is legitimately bad or degrading? Like being expected to work a crazy number of hours? Or the notion that you have to be deferential to someone older than you, even if they are being disrespectful to you or saying something that's clearly untrue? Or being expected to look the other way and say nothing if you see a father hitting his child, because "that's his right" as a father? (I know this is less common in Korea these days, but it's still extremely common in many Asian countries). When you think about specific actions, not just general theories, it's not always so clear-cut.

lt really doesn't matter what you say or what they do that's right or wrong, there is the concept of national sovereignity. Every country has the right to set their own rules for their own, they're not setting rules for you, it's for their own and only their own. If it's so bad, then that's for them to fix amongst themselves , as a foreigner you don't and shouldn't have the right to interfere with other people's affairs.

However, many English speakers often ask their first question in English and don't even consider learning very simple and basic Korean phrases. They don't prepare at all from the start. If someone is American and feel like you're not being treated well in Korea, it's likely because you haven't made an effort to respect Korean culture.

1:35 - I am SO glad that this lady brought this topic up. All you see nowadays on social media are people talking really bad about Koreans saying they're rude and what not, always gets compared against Japan, etc.. and these negative, poor stereotypes gets amplified unnecessarily and gets generalized.. and they're at the end of the day, view baiting because Korea is a hot topic many people search and explore now.. as an American, living in Korea, I couldn't stand seeing these posts because it's just not true.. majority of Koreans are super sweet and nice to all.. yes, there can be outliers but they exist everywhere not just in Korea.. I've visited Japan, Spain, France, and Malaysia.. I've experience odd people but do I judge them or generalize the whole country? No. So the next time you see clips of these people, take it with a grain of salt and keep an open mind. That is all.

I have been to many places abroad, but the locals did not approach me first. But I don't know why I want Koreans to approach me first when I come to Korea... If you respect Korea and try to learn the language, Koreans will be happy to be friends with you... Sometimes when I see a foreigner who complains in Korea, I don't know why they came to Korea without even trying to learn about Korea... Why do they think Koreans should be tailored to them when they don't do anything... I saw a lot of foreigners who were too rude.

A rhetorical question to the lawyer from Algeria, is there any country in the world where the law is not favorable towards its own citizens vs foreign visitors? Also it's interesting how she claims that the "law" favors men over women? In all honesty this was very true in the past, but not so much anymore. As a Korean-American who travels to Korea often to visit family and for business I've noticed that women enjoy a very high degree of legal protections, almost on par with advanced Western nations.

Article 32 of the Korean Constitution states, “Women’s labor is under special protection, and they shall not be subjected to unjust discrimination in employment, wages, and working conditions,” while Article 34 states, “The state shall endeavor to promote the welfare and rights of women.” Women’s rights are specifically managed by the Constitution, and as far as I know, there aren’t many countries like this. In South Korea, rape victims are limited to women under criminal law. There are no separate laws protecting men who are raped. And it has been deemed constitutional that only men are required to serve compulsory military service. In the Korean legal system, if a woman identifies a specific man as a sex offender, an investigation begins immediately based on the woman’s report and testimony. The former president (President Moon) ordered that once an investigation into a sex crime perpetrator begins, the perpetrator’s workplace or affiliated institution must be immediately notified, ensuring that the perpetrator suffers more than just the consequences of the crime. Notifying the workplace or affiliated institution at the investigation stage, when the individual is merely a suspect and not yet proven guilty, clearly violates the principle of presumption of innocence. There are many aspects of this country’s judicial system that can be seen as discriminating against men. What do you think?

[@박똘똘-o1j]

Korean culture and Islamic culture are very different. In Korea, atheists are the majority of the population, and most Koreans distance themselves from people who are too deeply involved in religion. It is a thoroughly secular country, and each religion respects other religions, so there are no major conflicts caused by religion. And even when people of different religions meet, they all live according to basic Korean etiquette and customs, so there is no difference in behavior due to religion. Even if you believe in Buddhism, everyone eats meat. And there are many cases where the mother goes to a temple and the daughter goes to church. Therefore, people who prioritize the laws of their religion while ignoring Korean etiquette and customs do not fit in well with Korean society. And there are many Koreans who are worried that certain religions will cause social problems.

There is no stereotype of foreigners being rich, even for those from wealthy countries. That woman was speaking of her own experience. Koreans assumed she was rich because she does come off that way.

I'm surprised that people think that they are rude. Be respectful, learn some of the language and obey the rules--you'll be fine. Just don't overstay your welcome.

[@jyd1384]

Technically speaking, Koreans can't become rude people if foreigners can keep their good manners toward Korean society. Supposing all people from overseas can follow Korea's national law and citizens' social vibes, nobody would show some bad attitude toward them. But many Chinese people don't want to accept South Korea's laws & orders, so most Koreans don't have positive thoughts for Chinese people who want to live in Korea. That's why Koreans don't love Chinese guys. For instance, many Chinese people don't want to learn Korean to communicate even though they live in Korea. However, most Westerners know how to respect Koreans. That's the difference between other foreigners and Chinese guys.

I believe that improving women's rights is essential in every country around the world. South Korea still has room for progress and is currently making strides in this area. However, from an objective standpoint, I would like to provide more accurate information about how South Korea compares with other countries regarding laws, crime rates and gender equality issues. (For foreigners living in South Korea, having a clear understanding of Korean laws is crucial for effectively navigating and utilizing them in the future.)

[@SNSK231]

The Constitution guarantees that all individuals, including foreigners, are dignified beings and should not face unfair discrimination based on their origin or other reasons. Rights and Duties of Citizens Article 10: Every citizen has human dignity and the right to pursue happiness. The state must ensure the inviolable fundamental human rights of individuals. Article 11: All citizens are equal before the law and should not be discriminated against based on gender, religion, social status, or any other reason. 1. The establishment of special social classes is not recognized, nor can any such class be created. 2. Honors and decorations only apply to the recipient and confer no special privileges. Article 22: Citizens have academic and artistic freedom. 1. The rights of authors, inventors, scientists, and artists are protected by law.

[@SNSK231]

The "Act on the Equal Employment and Support for Work-Family Reconciliation" in South Korea aims to ensure gender equality in employment and support work-family balance. Here are some key points: 1. Non-Discrimination: The law prohibits discrimination based on gender in recruitment, hiring, and workplace conditions. Employers must provide equal opportunities and treatment for both men and women. 2. Maternity Protection: Employers must offer maternity leave before and after childbirth, as well as paternity leave for spouses. This includes a minimum of 10 days of paid leave for fathers. 3. Parental Leave: Employees are entitled to up to one year of parental leave to care for children up to 8 years old or the second grade of elementary school. During this period, the government supports part of the employee’s salary to ease financial burdens. 4. Flexible Work Arrangements: The law encourages flexible working hours and conditions to help employees balance work and family responsibilities. This includes the right to request reduced working hours during the child-rearing period. 5. Workplace Support: Employers are required to create a work environment that supports the reconciliation of work and family life. This includes providing facilities like on-site childcare and accommodating employees' family responsibilities These measures aim to create a more inclusive workplace and support employees in managing both their professional and personal lives.

[@SNSK231]

In Korea, there exists the Equal Employment Opportunity Law for both genders. According to this law, companies cannot hire discriminatively based on gender. However, despite its name, some criticize that there are no clauses specifically protecting men. I agree with the necessity of this law, but it seems there is room for improvement. Positive example of this law in action: An example would be the 'KB Kookmin Bank gender discrimination in hiring and corruption incident'. KB Kookmin Bank intentionally favored men, resulting in penalties under this law. Negative example where this law did not positively impact: An example would be the controversy over the Game Rating and Administration Committee's biased hiring towards women with career gaps and disabled individuals. They rigidly excluded men by making career gaps and disability prerequisites for monitoring team recruitment, receiving only written warnings from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, as legal enforcement is not feasible and G.R.A.C. certainly ignored it and did not amend their qualifications requirements. Eventually, this incident pointed out that this law has room for improvement.

[@SNSK231]

In Korea, in cases of divorce, parents must agree on matters regarding the custody of their children. If they cannot agree, the family court will decide on custody matters either at its own discretion or upon request by the parties (Civil Code, Article 837, Paragraphs 1, 2, and 4). 1. Determination of custody 2. Burden of child-rearing costs 3. Exercise of visitation rights and methods thereof Custody Statistics: 1. For children aged 0 to 6: - Father has custody rights: 8.6% - Mother has custody rights: 91.4% 2. For children in elementary school (age 7 to 12): - Father has custody rights: 18.5% - Mother has custody rights: 81.5% 3. For children in middle school or older (age 13 and above): - Father has custody rights: 30.4% - Mother has custody rights: 69.6% Additionally, if children are primarily raised by their mother after divorce in Korea, they can change their surname to their mother's surname if they wish to do so. (Ps.The father is usually required to provide child support monthly.)

Here are the gender equality rankings based on the 2019 UN Gender Inequality Index. This index evaluates three areas: reproductive health, empowerment, and labor participation. Specifically, it measures maternal mortality rates, adolescent birth rates, female parliamentary representation, secondary education rates, and economic participation. The index ranges from 0 (complete equality) to 1 (complete inequality), providing an assessment of the absolute progress in women's rights. For instance, maternal mortality reflects the state of healthcare for women, while adolescent birth rates indicate the advancement of sex education. Here are the rankings: 1. Switzerland - 0.025 2. Norway - 0.038 3. Finland - 0.039 4. Netherlands - 0.043 5. Denmark - 0.043 6. Sweden - 0.045 7. Belgium - 0.045 8. South Korea - 0.047 9. France - 0.049 10. Iceland - 0.058 11. Slovenia - 0.063 12.

Everyone has their own experiences. Some people go there for college or to teach English and they don’t have a good experience and they say Koreans are rude and don’t talk to you and it’s hard to make friends. Then you have people who go there for college or teaching and they end up still there maybe 5 years later with a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend and with lots of friends. Everyone has their own experiences. I’d say visit the country first before making the decision to move there. I got into K-pop and K-dramas starting in February 2022 and by May 2022 I was learning the language and learning about the culture (I haven’t learned as much as I should by now though. Lol). My love for K-pop, the language, the Korean culture, and K-dramas grew over the past 2 and a half years. But I also visited Korea in April and I was there for almost 2 weeks. I stayed in Seoul. It was kind of lonely at times because I did go there by myself but I did have 2 K-pop friends I met up with there but they left when I still had a week left. I didn’t really communicate much with Koreans except I did ask a girl for help reading the map one day and someone came up to me and my friends when we looked lost and helped us. And I did have a little bit of a culture shock but I think it’s more of my anxiety when I experience new things. I wish I had experienced more, especially outside of Seoul but I did go for a day to Daegu to visit a couple that I know where the husband is Korean. That time in Daegu close to the end of my trip was great because it was a lot less crowded and busy and I got to experience nature with a park and animals compared to just the city. I think next time I visit for 2 weeks, I will visit more cities than just Seoul. Overall, I’m working for my bachelors degree after not being in college for 4 1/2 years and I’m leaning towards getting the degree so I can apply to be an English teacher there. For me, the good outweighs the bad. If all else fails, at least I’ll have my bachelors degree for getting a job in the States.

Having lived abroad for over 15 years as a Korean and then returning to my home country, I’ve noticed that Korea has fewer day-to-day interactions with foreigners compared to many other countries. Of course, there are good people and not-so-good people everywhere, but overall, I think Korea is a pretty warm and welcoming place. However, there’s definitely some awkwardness in communication. I believe that ‘discrimination’ is something like a default setting for human survival instincts. The difference lies in whether people recognize it as inappropriate and make an effort not to act on it. It’s normal to be wary of something unfamiliar in nature. Compared to when I was younger, I feel like Korea’s cultural diversity has increased a bit. I hope it continues to grow even more in the future.

Koreans are a nation with strong nationalism, having been invaded by China, northern nomads, and Japan for 7,000 years. That's why when dealing with foreigners, they are treated as "guests" and are kind to them because they are guests. If you are thinking of staying in Korea for a long time, you will have to endure the feeling of being an outsider at first. However, as you become able to communicate in Korean and become familiar with Korean etiquette, those stares will ease up a lot. And Koreans do not make friends easily, even among their own people. This is probably the most difficult part of living in Korea for foreigners.
