I live in America. Those 2L Cokes are for parties and gatherings to share with friends :) We don’t drink out of them. I don’t drink Coke at all. But when you open the bottle the fizz goes away before you can drink it all anyway. I’ve never seen a 10L, I think that’s just a joke

[@sanasouthvlogsss9237]

Nah 10L does exist, it’s for parties too and stuff, I’ve seen it

[@kathleen5465]

Some families do regularly drink 2L bottles of soda. One of my neighbors' garbage cans can get full with empty 2L bottles. It depends on the household.

@3TREY87 Oh never mind then LOL

[@Loriani93]

im from europe and we have the 2l bottles too. If you have a big family or a family that drinks a lot of coke those 2L will be gone in no time😂 its only like, 8 big glasses..

[@xheralt]

I've seen 3L but they aren't common, I would have said 2L was the most common, they're practically ubiquitous. I can drink 2L of Coke in a day, maybe even in 8 hours, which is the only way to keep the last part from going flat.

America is very romanticized I feel like to outside countries. As a born US citizen it makes me realize that both people from the US and other places both think the same way of a place that's foreign. Koreans think a little highly of the US & Americans who like Korea and want to live there "k-drama/kpop" dream life is just a facade. No hate towards anyone just an observation and a realization. 😊

[@roselamoure]

I have noticed that too that Koreans DEFINITELY romanticize the USA and you can even see that in K-dramas! Koreans interacting with Americans or in general when they get in touch with the US they feel so good and it‘s kinda a flex for them as well! Also living in the US, or studying there is a huge flex for them as well it almost became a fetish but they definitely love the US and think American culture is so cool and amazing and everyone lives freely and relax and chill but it really is nothing like that most of the time. It‘s just what they see based on movies and think all America is like thaz

[@nightfrost1891]

it also definatly depends on where you live the usa is so big and so different depending on your location i'm sure korea can attest to seoul being different from small korean towns, it's like that here too they romanticized us because of movie/tv and music and we do the same with korea but i'm sure koreans know most of korea isn't 'just like the dramas' just like we can say the same about here don't get me wrong, we are pretty free in our choices but not every location is going to be as accepting or not judge even the people in the reality shows like 'too hot to handle' etc. most people are not that crazy sexual they just cast people who are sexual and are crazy so it makes the show entertaining we do have differences but we have similarities and every person/family can be different in how they act also as a side note, i'm not pro-gun here in the usa but i feel like koreans and other countries think it's literally like the wild wild west and people will just go around shooting if they are mad when that's usually not the case yes, we have gun violence but most people don't every even experience a shooting or at least i know i haven't it can happen but to the average person you don't need to be looking over your shoulder 24/7 thinking someone will just shoot you for no reason and maybe this is due to the fact i don't live in a large city the shooting are bad but i've seen too many people react to americans being mad and they think the person is going to shoot the other person just because they are mad and that's... a bit too much another side note is though a lot of the portions do contribute to more people here having more weight i do think in general, asians are more petite all around (height, weight etc.) even here most asians i've met are similar size to what they are in korea and other countries since we have a lot of nationalities here we have a lot of different body types too that might come with nationality not to mention we have high percentage of people who are fitness obsessed and have muscles upon muscles too over here, a lot of people like to point out the more overweight aspect of some people over here and forget we also have a lot fitness fanatics as well i honestly think it's nice we have so many differences in people (though being overweight isn't healthy and i wish people were healthy there is also people who are thin and aren't healthy either and i say this from experience of how unhealthy i was when i was at my thinnest)

The fact about university really surprised me, I looked it up and ~9,156,000 won in USD is ~7,000. This is actually mind blowing to me, for those who still might be confused, Korea's most expensive costs for about 4-5 years of university is almost the same amount of the cheapest university in the US (that's actually crazy). And you can't own guns out or pay so much for healthcare, honestly I already wanted to try visiting Korea for the food but I'm kinda even more convinced to just move out there 😂

I admire Heejae more and more each day

[@nathanp2007]

As an American I thought everything said here was right on the money except two things. 1. In general I agree with Heejae that moving somewhere else likely won't have some huge transformational effect on who you are as a person and how you live your life. You can be a open minded, opinionated, free thinking Korean in Korea just like you can be a conservative minded, demure, closed minded and self conscious American in America. However, I don't think Seungwoo was thinking that deeply when he made his comment. He said he thinks individuals can express their thoughts and styles more in America. In general that is true, but here is the really important bit: AMERICA HAS A VERY WIDE RANGE OF SOCIETAL AND CULTURAL NORMS! What life is like in New York City or LA isn't what life is like in farm country in Idaho, or Montana. What life is like in a city in Texas isn't what life is like in Seattle or San Francisco. There are commonalities but America isn't a monoculture. And it's more than just city vs farm, if you move to Korea Town in California it is entirely possible you will still experience Korean culture in the ways you wished to be gone living in America. Since we are such a melting pot of cultures, that plays a part in how freely you can express yourself. 2. Korea might be fantastic at recycling but my understanding is they are AWFUL at single use plastics waste. Korea not using tap water and instead always using bottled water. At least in the cities like Seoul the trend of using food delivery services is also awful with all the single use plastics that are disposed of. From an article online about South Korea in 2021: "The Ministry of Environment found that of 3.23 million tons of plastic disposed in 2018, around 1.45 million tons, or 44.9 percent, was recycled. The rest were incinerated or buried. Of the plastic waste recycled, only 466,000 tons were actually reborn as plastic goods." Here's another good article: www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2020-10-21/plastic-recycling-in-south-korea-was-already-in-crisis-the-pandemic-is-pushing-it-to-the-brink Obviously this is a global problem, one America is struggling with very much so right now. But it's hard to praise Korea's recycling when this exists: "South Korea is the third largest plastic-polluted country in the world, according to a Wednesday report from the National Academy of Science". If Korea can ban or heavily tax single use plastics, convince it's populus to use tap water and not bottled water and can start using recyclable materials for their delivery food (like bamboo and things like this company makes: www.biopak.com.au/products/takeaway-containers) and Korea will be back on top, one of the best recyclers in the world.

I'm glad you pointed these things out. Americans are so diverse, including fashion, entertainment, and religion. I often hear "it's American style" which usually means morally different. I guess another assumption could be that we are all sexual deviants, if you're watching popular music videos or t.v. shows, etc. However, in a single class, or work place, or group of whatever kind I think these things vary person to person. Just because you see behaviors on t.v., movies, or mv's doesn't mean everyone you meet will behave, dress, or speak the same. (I mean, these are just some other differences besides what you were speaking to regarding the ginormous Cokes, or recycling that you were referring to).

[@a.plucked.flower]

Heejae is truly one of the most well read and well informed people I've seen. She's so good with words, always articulate and very well informed with what's happening in the world. To know facts is one thing, i.e the US allows guns and they can be dangerous, VS forming an opinion about it and knowing it has consequences, i.e. the US also has a ton of school shootouts so it's a double edged sword. Moreover, her opinions on how only rich people can afford education is spot on and so well thought out. She's one of those few people that see the privelege in society and say it how it is. She's lovely and I truly love her personality!

[@Julia-mc1vt]

Omg I completely agree with you. She is indeed special

[@knightenchanter7908]

Yeah. IDK her much since I don't watch these videos much but she gained my respect for that. She's SPOT ON about education. And it's not just an American problem either, it's a global problem. Only the privileged and the rich get the opportunities for a good education. Privatisation of education and capitalism is to be blamed for this. Horrible. Education should be free PERIODT, whether school or college/uni higher studies. Knowledge shouldn't be paywalled. The govt should be keen on cultivating education amongst the youth not discourage them. So many people do NOT pursue further education due to money problems. Not everyone's smart enough to excel in studies to gain scholarships either.

[@sheenandrei8788]

I really loved Heejae's take on education. She's really an intellectual girl. 🥺

[@Seanbsxxx]

Some people do own guns in the US, but most who do just keep them at home for "protection' or maybe practice shooting at a gun range once in a while. Very few people actually carry guns with them. My father owns guns, but the only time I have seen them is in his closet. Tuition is expensive, but still over 1/3 Americans graduate from a college or trade school. Medical costs are absolutely high. However, Many jobs offer insurance for their employees. I am relatively healthy, but see my doctor a few times a year. I only pay a couple hundred dollars a year for my medical costs. And Many more parties! Before COVID I hosted a couple holiday parties at my home every year. Can't wait to start again!

[@sarahspinetta]

I live in California, in the US and I think the culture or mindset we have here that Heejae was talking about is more nonchalant, like we don’t necessarily always feel pressured to conform to certain standards- like not caring what other people think. She mentioned going braless, not caring if you show affection to your significant other in public, etc- which is definitely something that happens and people just generally don’t care if you look different fashion wise or makeup, hair, style, who or how you express your love, etc. It’s more accepting of those things but also very superficial at the same time. This is very obvious in LA for example, or big cities like that. Also the party culture/lifestyle is very niche here, it really only happens in college and there are so many people who don’t even care about prom, partying, etc. It’s expensive, overhyped and overrated most of the time. Life is not a party for the average American, and schools are over priced, medical insurance is overpriced and so many people end up in serious debt from medical bills and college loans. Tuition for schools like Harvard and Stanford is absurd and you generally are just paying for having the “prestige” of the name of the school for your diploma, the curriculum is the same. It’s like buying from a luxury label just to show off, and many people who have these fancy degrees work normal 8-5 jobs at the store or wherever and the degree doesn’t necessarily even matter. It’s a very disposable society and many people don’t stop to think of their environmental impact, which is a huge issue, and I hope that one day we are at a more sustainable way of living that is also enforced like Korea. I also think that the 10L bottle of coke is a joke or photoshop, I have never seen that here at all. We do have larger sizes of food and drinks, etc but these are for large groups or parties. And like anywhere in the world, people’s diets are varied from person to person, so we come in all shapes and sizes, and so many don’t even eat junk food or drink soda! Also, gun violence is an issue here, true, but Byung Eun, please don’t feel afraid to visit. The statistics are so low, and most people are just out there living their normal everyday lives and never even touch a gun in their lifetime. It’s a very interesting mindset and culture that is a blend of so many peoples, which makes us a super diverse and interesting place. Please come visit once it’s safe to, and don’t feel afraid. 99.9% of us are just like you, and there’s always going to be the couple of crazies, but overall America is a pretty safe and good place. I have been lucky enough to travel around the US and to several other countries and territories, and I may be biased but this is by far the safest and best place that I have been to. My mom even moved here from Canada- she says the people here are so much kinder and more accepting and nice overall compared to Canada. I think all countries have their own problems and issues they face, but the people are good overall here. I wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else in the world. Thank you for the always interesting and entertaining content, I love the Korean culture and hope to travel to your country once it’s safe to do so. I am also looking for a 주어진 이름, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know! Much love from California, saranghaeyo

[@deborahfarnsworth8578]

I’m so happy you mentioned about the gun violence issue and did it very well. I think they don’t realize also just how big of a territory the US really is. Sure that much “gun violence” happening in such a small country as S Korea would be a HUGE problem but their size is the equivalent of ONE of our STATES in our territory. We have 50 states and 2 jurisdictions. Spread out as our territory is we are relatively a safe country in most areas. Like everyone else some areas are more violent prone then others. Also the right to “bare arms” does not apply to every State either. And like you said most people do not go around carrying guns all the time. Just depends one where your from and who you are. The biggest thing is we have the RIGHT to protect ourselves if we ever need too.

Russer celebrates by partying and they have their own mini busses that is called russebuss that's like their own place to hang around. And on Norways constitutionday that is the 17th of may in some places in norway for example, the russ might visit your school and give out russekort and russekort is actually cards with pictures of themselves but they don't just give it to you, the main reason they come to visit is to go and "dynke" the pupils so what i mean with dynke is that they throw water, shavingfoam ketchup etc. at you. And how does the pupils know that the russ is on the way is quite easy cuz some russ they make their own russesongs thay they have made themselves, and in Norway russesongs are really ell known and many teenagers like listening to russesongs. So the pupils just waits until they can hear the loud russesongs and needs to look for red busses and that's when you know that they are on theire way to your school. So being russ is a once in a life time thing, and many 18 year olds doesn't want to miss out on that, but for example me, i live in Norway and i don't want to be russ so being russ is optional :)

In America there are still cases where trespassers have sued the homeowner if they've been bitten by their dog, received an injury, or been assaulted. Also, though they have the rights to hold firearms and protect themselves it is still thoroughly investigated to see if the injury or death by the homeowner/Tennant is justifiable or necessary. If the courts don't believe that their actions are justifiable you can and still will be charged for manslaughter, assault etc (depending on the circumstances of course).

I already really like HeeJae, but after listening to her speak about the political, health, and educational systems of America as well as South Korea I find that I really respect her, beyond just liking her. SeungWoo also. I appreciate that he understands about America and about being someone who is placed at a disability against the rich. The way Byungeun speaks about these issues makes me think he comes from a richer family and though that's not a bad thing, it makes him seem less aware of the world. In some ways I hope he is never fully aware of the hardships of others, because if you can stay ignorant and happy then please do. But in another way, I know life has a habit of making a lesson out of things we don't understand. HeeJae, be sure to explain things to him if he finds himself between a rock and a hard place.

In Germany you have to pay around 320 euros per semester to study at a university. The price also includes a ticket for free public transportation.

[@jennah94]

In Finland, you get "paid" to study at a university. University is free, you get student benefits (although most of it is a low-interest loan you pay back slowly after you graduate). Free public transportation would be so amazing! Here students get a 50-40% discount on the monthly ticket.

I am from New Zealand. Here education is free for 5-17 year Olds and subsidized for 3-4 year Olds. For university it depends on what you study to how expensive it is. Most course are between $7000 -$8000NZD. Teaching is $6000 and aviation is $52000. Health care is free for children under the age of 18 years old, and pregnant women (if the care relates to the pregnancy). Guns, we have them but you need a license to legally own a gun.

I live in NYC. CUNY schools senior (4 yrs) colleges (in-state resident) costs a little more than Yonsei University Community colleges/2 yrs (in-state resident) costs a little less SUNY & other private universities = too expensive unless you get scholarship or worst loans (like harvard, yale etc-- ivy league schools like in the video) If you are out-of-state resident, the costs will be doubled per year. (CUNY) Full time & part time classes are different. If you're a part time student, you most likely will pay per class or per credit/units (depends) not for the whole semester/year cost (that's for full time students) It's kind of a hassle too when applying every semester + choosing classes, prof and day & time of the class & you have to be fast to enroll because classes' time & day per subject cannot overlap 😅 if the psychology class you pick for that time and day is gone, you need to pick a different one that may conflict with your other classes sched If you are way late to enroll, your classes might be all night or weekends or 1 or 2 class in morning/afternoon or night in different days of the week, in short, you will have a very scattered schedule. Oh some classes also have fully online or hybrid (half online, half in person/physical in the classroom) I kinda miss school though since I already graduated 🤣

Hi, thanks for your video, it was very interesting, I learned something new today. I live in La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico and I just wanted to mention that many people from the United States usually come to Mexico to study due to the high costs of their universities. I'm not sure, but I think that the best universities in the country cost at most 10,000 dollars per semester, but Mexico also has many renowned public universities. For example, my university (UABCS) is well known for its degree in marine biology (people from all over the world come here to study), and per semester they usually charge less than 200 dollars (although I understand that foreigners have to pay double, even so, it's still cheap) Not to mention that life in Mexico is much cheaper, for example; beef usually costs less than 10 dollars per kilo, when it is mango season it can cost less than 1 dollar per kilo as well as many other fruits and vegetables such as oranges, lemons, watermelons, potatoes, tomatoes, onions, etc. In the same way, the medical service in Mexico is not so bad and it is cheaper, people from the United States and Canada as well as from European countries come to be treated here because of that.

After putting 2 boys through college, there a many scholarships that students can apply for as well as financial aid. Both of my boys received scholarships and they received financial aid as the college took our income as consideration. This brought the cost down a lot. Both colleges said there is so much financial aid that they give out themselves but nobody applies for it.

I don't know if the UK government still offers this, but when I was applying for university, the government offered to pay for tuition costs to low income families. They really wanted to offer equal opportunity to students back then :)

[@Alan_Mac]

Sorry for the essay - but you asked ;) The UK has 3 different education systems and 3 different ways to approach tuition fees. In England and Wales fees are capped at £9,250 per annum. In Scotland, they are free for students living in Scotland- but the number of students is capped so they can allocate enough places to overseas students who pay for tuition in full. So a student in Scotland who gets a place at a Scottish Uni is doing well BUT it does mean there are fewer places for local students. Two different approaches and not sure which one is better. I believe in Northern Ireland fees are capped at about £4,500 but I don't know their system so well.

South Korea compared to the US is so small that I think it's hard to understand how big and diverse the US is. South Korea is about the size of the state of Indiana and half of the population lives in Seoul. So I feel like people in South Korea have similar experiences, if that makes sense. My aunt lived in Seattle and her garbage would be checked to make sure she wasn't throwing away something which should be recycled. However, my dad lives in Idaho and has never recycled anything in his life. These things makes these comparison videos sooo difficult because there is no real "normal" thing here in the US.

Next year he'll return to the states for college and had we not started saving since his birth, there's no way, I could afford it.

You have a better chance of getting bit by a shark than getting shot in America. Just because people are allowed to carry for defense doesn’t mean they’re emotional children who don’t know how to behave. Healthcare is expensive for many, many reasons. Some good, some bad. But it’s the best in the world. People come from all over the world to get treatment in the USA. They talked about the most expensive schools but never mentioned community colleges, which are the most common and very cheap. College here has a huge demand and a low supply.

Okay so there are a few things I want to address as an American-- If you live in the South in America it is VERY conservative. Teenagers are taught that the only birth control that exists is not having sex. Teaching kids safe sex is not allowed. So it is not as open as you think all over in America. Yes Coke can be huge, and the snacks are huge, but most of our food is filled with sugar becomes it makes them cheaper to put on the grocery shelves. So even if you are trying not to eat poorly, but you don't have a lot of money to buy fresh vegetables and meat, you are going to have bad health and obesity. Everything you read about healthcare is true. Guns-- this is controversial in America, but I want to put some context in Korea almost every male has to do military service where you learn how to use a firearm properly and safely. We have no equivalent in the US. Anyone can own a large firearm and in some states you don't even need training to do so. This can be very scary. BUT The likelyhood of someone pulling a random gun on you is not high. Our police are also highly armed. Even non Ivy league schools are out of reach for people. Most Americans are not wealthy. And the numbers you are looking at are for tuition, not room and board, fees, or mandatory food plans. Many students come out after working 2 jobs, scholarships and going to school with a massive amount of school debt. Scholarship money is not as plentiful as you think. If you are a graduate student, you are not allowed to work outside of the school and your debt goes higher. This is not because we have the best professors, professors are not paid highly in most departments. Close to 40% of the college professors you will have at ANY school in America are adjunct or non tenure track. These professors often live without health insurance and are paid very very little money. For 10 years I made less that $20,000 a year. Most schools do not want to hire full time or tenure track professors. Most of this goes to the way the schools are made to feel like a resort and to pay for sports teams, and the upper administration. Parties and social life. Unless you are in college, there really aren't many parties y'all we barely have places to go dance outside of big cities. There are great things about living in America, but many people outside of America don't understand that education, health, wealth disparity and safety are wildly exaggerated in movies that we make here. America is beautiful, you can have any faith you want, we dress in different and interesting ways, and while racism, homophobia, and sexism exists-- we are more diverse and open than many other countries, and we celebrate those differences. Also generally, people are polite to each other and show small kindnesses to strangers.
