Interviewing Koreans in Korea Town Went So Wrong.. [KOREA TOWN]

[@brazil708]

Hi Sylvia. I worked there in Korean town for 6 months in 2018 and I'm quite knowledgeable about what's going on there. Yes, what you said is true that the Koreans there are very different compared to South Korea. There are many reasons why they don't want to do an interview. They are afraid of being seen by the government. The others are living in the country illegally and don't pay taxes and the others have pinay wives and are afraid of being caught cheating. the others are in debt because of gambling or there are pending cases in your country and now, the Philippines has become their hideout and above all, the others are involved in illegal prostitution especially the other victims are minors. I hope you are fine, but next time be doubly careful in the places you go, especially if you are not familiar. The Philippines is beautiful but like people it is not perfect.

[@primordialblack000]

If it's true then PAMPANGA'S KOREAN TOWN should be under surveillance or be investigated by the authorities. And maybe the LGU allowing them should be investigated too. I think there's corruption going there. #DILG

[@kampuput]

There's also this stigma that if a foreigner goes to Pampanga, they go there for sex tourism. Maybe they just don't want to be seen on camera because that's not what they went to Pampanga for - or maybe that's what they went there for and they are avoiding getting seen/recognized by friends/family.

[@denniszenanywhere]

Don’t do this again. It’s dangerous.

[@vinxentendrix8161]

you're right. korean people in that district is silent because in illegal business. Like Prostitution korean Girl Working in Prostitution, Like Red Light District. Like Gambling. there is a Syndicate involve between Pilipino Syndicate & Korean Syndicate involve in illegal transactions. & some korean dont have documents or over staying.

[@artgasm5889]

[@thinkpositive3667]

I've been there many times. We actually conducted a thorough investigation of that area. The "Korea Town" in Angeles is like a city run by mafias. Over 70% of people there are either criminals who are hiding from the government/immigration or Koreans who have pinay mistresses (they told their wives they are on a "business trip"). The police car you've seen there is actually the one who accepts bribes.

[@buhay-bilyonaryo1200]

Maybe on the next interviewing session, you have to promise them that you will cover their faces, and their voices hidden by a Voice changer. Maybe you'll get more Koreans in Pampanga to accept an interview. You know, some top local media people can interview criminals here in the Philippines and even make them to confess why did that, or why they did this. But these media people always deliver their promise to hide the faces of these criminals and change their voices with a voice changer.

May be you could try to interview Koreans in Baguio instead. I suggest you try first searching history about the area or location where you are about to conduct the interview so you may know more how to approach them. Better yet coordinate with the local goverment who has inter actions with Korean communities. But all in all very nice content. Keep it up. 👍🏼

[@buhay-bilyonaryo1200]

Filipinos are the very opposite of Koreans when it comes to being interviewed with a camera. Most would love being interviewed even for things that are too personal. Questions like, "Bakit nakipag-break sa yo ang girlfriend mo?" "Wala eh! Masyado raw akong kuripot!"

[@moonsoda3889]

I grew up in that area. not anymore now. originally the area is a red district for Americans and Japanese. there is Filipino slum area just across the bridge, Anunas, but they dare not do crime to Koreans. Filipinos in the area need Korean investors for jobs. they have a dedicated police force just for Korea town. It's not 100% safe. assassinations and robberies happen BUT most are organized, also they have power over the police, like mafia or Triad type. Friendship or Korea town Koreans are taught to be cynical, skeptical, etc. They survived in the area with that mindset. not all are bad. some are even evangelists. Koreans have their own bus system. they take them to malls, tourist spots, etc. That town is continually growing FAST. It's a safe haven for Koreans and Filipinos welcome them.

[@dr2drm88]

Sylvia and Moy, always get a few male friends to accompany you while filming. Watching kdramas from 15+ years ago, when the storyline is of Koreans who get involved in criminal elements, they flee Korea and settle in the philippines or China. But now, with younger Koreans, I think it's more of business opportunities and English education. Still easier to evade legal problems in the philippines because corruption/bribery is rampant. Just please be careful.

[@xir.chad01]

Thanks for this effort.♥️ as viewer and ordinary citizen I understand why they refused for an interview, maybe they're just woried for their safety or they just want peace of mind while on the streets.

They might have something and hiding from something or someone. hahahaha. Most of korean hiding from someone, something or somewhere go there. But most of koreans usually go to CEBU and live there. Adding Davao region.

I'm Half-Korean Half-Filipino from Koreantown in Angeles - interesting to see this is weird for you since this is what's always been normal for me of Koreans. It's understandable how there are people who'd get the idea of illegalities and women from this video, which aren't completely false, but Koreans around here are just really more serious as I've observed. In contrast, what I got from this video is the realization that Koreans from other parts might not be the way I've always deemed them to be.

[@u-nedalgabre2240]

I guess its best to interview younger Koreans if you see them in Korea Town in Pampanga and in the morning, noon or just past lunchtime, most likely they are just there living for school or having fun in the area. Others who are rejecting might be either for their privacy or involved in some operations, businesses or things that are perhaps hidden haha. Maybe wrong timing lang and wrong type of people to interview during those hours you went there most especially at night. We don't know the real reason but in foreigner frequented areas with bars and the like at night whether in Pampanga, Manila etc may not always be the best place to do an interview. Better luck next time 😊

[@HuangHwei]

Korean Town in Pampanga is actually an extension of Clark RedLight District - not a wholesome place. But the SouthKorean community in Manila have been building a new version of KoreanTown in Malate for a year now.

That area especially, is basically a s*x tourism spot, not just that neighborhood, but the entire city of Angeles (it was originally because it was close to American bases). Which is why no one wants an interview. A lot of the people on the streets are just short-term tourists. They're probably married, or have girlfriends back home. On the more dangerous side, some of them are gangsters. Which is where the unfair stereotype of the Philippines comes from in Korea. Which is ironic because the gangsters here are mostly Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. You'll have better luck in other "koreatowns" in other cities in the Philippines. Which don't have that kind of widespread red light districts.

My former employees are some normal Korean dudes with Korean family and their children, some are restaurant business owner, others are members of Korean Yakuza who one of them said he had a girl cousin that is a kpop idol lmao.... Those Koreans are different from typical South Korean you see. Most of them afraid being known or trace by your government or local government not paying taxes, doing illegal activities, some are running because of big debts the acquired when still living in South Korea, others had some illegal business and using some frontman, many are members of syndicate especially the Yakuza Korean branch, the last ones are the businessman who cheated on their wife in Korea who had another wife here in Philippines 😹😹😹 locals/foreigner/same Korean....

You can encounter Korean that are law abiding citizen of yours who loves living here because they got successfully establish themselves

[@justmytwocentsdontgetmad]

To be frank, Angeles is well-known for its prolific red light districts😅. So, most probably a lot of them (especially the men) refuse to be shown on camera for reasons which are pretty obvious. In the case of Korean business owners, they are careful / mindful of sharing information in interviews to avoid being possible targets for crime (kidnappings, robberies, etc.). You could maybe get better interviews in other major cities around the country with a sizeable Korean population like Metro Manila, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod, or Davao

It just comes across that people owe it to you to be interviewed for your content then assume bad things if they dont allow you to. I understand your frustration but it also leaves a bad taste that you look upset that you didnt get what you wanted because people just dont want to be filmed or interviewed. It's just a friendly concern because there are places in the PH who are not used to this especially in Sagada. They have restrictions about filming locals there. To each his own.

[@zeparthe16thspiritofarsgoe15]

Korean town is a gold mine for the police. But too sad that police there can be bribed that is why some of us in the PNP petitioning to make a raid there and place a rotational to the police force there. I hope it will be pass

[@jrgallano2931]

Go to BGC or in colleges na may koreans. mas accommodating sila. Parang may tinatago nga ung koreans jan sa pampanga hahaha

[@kanjotekina]

Another reason I can think of as to why they would decline your request is for their safety. There may be some cases of kidnapping of foreigners so they keep their privacy.

[@shenic5131]

The kidnapping of foreigners... there are Koreans who get kidnapped by their fellow Koreans.

괜찮아 실비아. 항상 안전을 유지하십시오. ❤️

[@heytony]

It was interesting and fun even for Koreans.Thank you for the great content~

[@rome229]

If people say no most of the time, there's something illegal going on.

[@m4nong]

seems thats a red district for koreans in pampanga.

[@Christian-zg1eg]

Mahiyain siguro sila mag interview lalo na kaharap sa camera. Kahit din naman ako mahiyain mag interview 😅

[@snoopcatt2136]

Not really, sabi nga ni ate Sylvia very suspicious.

[@michaellondrium]

Some koreans in korean town angeles has a wife in korea or relatives or Aqtaintance and then they will see them through your vlog doing something that's why they don't accept your interview..because most of korean men are dating with different girls there aha

[@doffymation]

Be careful most of the people there want to be confidential that's why they don't want to be interviewed, maybe because of the place it's not really a good place to interview someone

[@PolicarpioNicole]

Sylvia i live nearby - we can tour you around the place, the korean cafes, stores, restos etc.

[@squ34ky]

Good attempt. Maybe offering to blur their faces and mask their voices would've helped ease their apprehensions?

[@blowfish64]

Probably some of them are overstayers in the Philippines that's why they are afraid of interviewers. Hahaha

[@manongbong1533]

Try collab with KristyPata… she’s nice too like you and Moy.

[@chad_dogedoge]

The police are the one violating the law , they block the pedestrian lane.

[@Cheryl_-kt1il]

I've seen a lot of korean movies/dramas mostly movies that when a korean is a hiding criminal or being demoted they go or sent to the Philippines its sad but maybe its true seeing your videos none of them want to be interviewed felt like they are hiding something.😏🙄

[@meltv1550]

Pm the korean youtuber here in ph they might accept it

[@JDOFunofficial]

Nagcarshow dyan si Amduscias sa Pampanga week ago.

[@tabseeker]

also probably better to find people in the morning. Night time their probably there just to party.. lol

[@oblaksworld1856]

Not a good idea to interview Korean Men in pampanga, its a place where red light districts are famous. Try the Korean Town in Iloilo instead.

[@zaybtv511]

mga tnt cguro kaya ayaw painterview..daming korean vlogger jan..dasuri,kristypata,jinho

[@japhethmoret1272]

Hi Sylvia This is my first time in your channel and it is my first time as well that I see Koreans acting so root like that something is going on for sure because when I see the video's in Korea the Korean's are acting differently,but you are doing a good job
