*If people ask so many questions when we first meet, I'll be the happiest kid in the world. I'm very introverted, so I dont usually start conversations but I can speak alot* 🙈🙈🙈🙈 *I guess if you know about Korea's culture you will understand they are very welcoming, friendly and pleasant people, so it won't be offensive* 😄😄😄

[@hopestqr_]

True, tho and same

[@hanmira]

First 2 questions Korean People would Ask Strangers that came up in my mind: 1. In what year were you born? 2. What blood type do you have?

[@emanuellyalves97]

Here in Brazil those types of questions are completely normal! We would even ask where the person works 😂 a while ago I watched a video of a woman explaining that you shouldn't ask these exact questions in US to someone you just met. It's funny to think that even being thousands of miles away Brazil and Korea have things in common!

[@mariyayonesi4235]

In Iran too. LoL

[@baes2034]

Yes! Haha

[@UTUBEUSER-g3]

here in India if we asked these kind of question to a stranger they might think that the person is interested in him/her .or they will take in other ways.....we don't even asked to our close girl friends about their age 😂😂😂......its just a cultural showed if these kind of question appears to us 😂😂😂

[@UTUBEUSER-g3]

Shock*

[@cigypaul6039]

@@UTUBEUSER-g3 I'm an indian, who does not live in India, I live in Oceania(not telling you specific country I'm living due to privacy reasons) but where I live, these questions are quite creepy and too personal. Even police there who came to my old school educated us not to give out info, (especially these " Korean" questions,) especially cyber or internet, due to pedophilia, scammers, and ext. Also we're taught to hide or block our camera on computer. Just for some safety. Also our motto is "Safety and health" first. Hope you ❤ reading, if you don't then 2 bad 2 sad.

[@onesmallspeck6466]

Great video. Yeah, in the U.S. all questions would be considered fine except asking age. We are taught "never ask (particularly a woman) her age or weight". Considered rude. But great vid. You explained it well. The only thing I found confusing was the (coat rack?) behind you, and how you would hang anything on the downward-facings pegs. :)

[@refnaholic2747]

Hahaha i even questioning my self for that 7 minutes, "am i a dummies for not knowing that function of that thing" gladly i go trough your comment and know i'm not the only one who found it weird.

[@onesmallspeck6466]

@@refnaholic2747 lol. I know right? Maybe it's not a coat-rack? -- but I have no idea what else it could possibly be. Funny the things we notice. :)

[@joshuakim1317]

The reason Koreans ask the age first is that Koreans can't do conversations without knowing the ages of each other. Korean phrases change depending on the dialoguers age, I mean who is older or younger

[@onesmallspeck6466]

@@joshuakim1317 That's so interesting. I understand now the more I study Korean and the honorifics. I guess we kinda have that in the US, like using "Mr./Mrs." Instead of first-name. Or words like "sir". Though I see how it's infused into every sentence in Korean. .Makes me nervous to speak, seems so easy to accidentally offend someone. Always use honorific form I guess. )

Jimins Wife Hi fam, I'm new to this channel, have checked out few of her other videos, i love it so much. Can you suggest me,from which video a beginner like me should start? Little insight about me; I'm a huge fan of K-Drama & sub worked fine until I became an ARMY. Been trying to learn Korean for quite a while now but due to time constraints & not giving effort I wasn't able to, however, now I'm all ready to give my time & effort to learn P.S. My love for k-drama (HWARANG)made me find & fall in love with BTS💜

[@rszanger]

I was born, and grew up in Korea, but still bugging me whenever another Korean person asks me some questions such as , how old are you?, What is your occupation?, Are you married?, Let me set you up with a woman? Even though he or she doesn't have any clue what kind of a woman I'd like, Where do you live?, Do you have a girlfriend?, and some even asks me how much I'd make a year?...these questions I'd rarely ask from non-Korean person...

[@beccan.5876]

Great and very informative video😊 thanks for that. In Germany people would ask what you do for a living, where you come from (esp. if you have a different accent/dialect). I think, age and relationship status is not that important.

[@cor3linee436]

Thank you😊

[@mathewclough1966]

Definitely not a thing to ask age in the UK! Especially to women. Very excited to be in Korea next month.

[@skylineinspiration1798]

I think people like to know a little too much about a person at least from my experience, heck I'm the type of person who feels uncomfortable talking to strangers so I'm definitely not going to ask certain questions unless I'm interrogating them or giving them an examination but that's just me personally and I can't speak for anyone else.

These questions are actually common in Brazil too, people will ask you these even when they just met you so I have nothing to worry about haha

[@KJGurl]

Gosh, it's so weird to hear these questions, cuz in my country we never ask these things, moreover ask someone's age is really rude, especially a women's. 😅 but older people always tend to ask "how the school's going?" to start a conversation. But i think it's common all around the world.

don't know about the price but teenagers in Seoul are put under extreme pressure to succeed and get into a good school so i assume it's quite important

[@Johanneslol11]

IT's far from free.. its super expensive. :) But yes they look down very much on those who do not go.

[@niccolom4556]

Even Americans look down on that lol. Only time you wouldnt know is because most your friends also didnt graduate. But usually you dont see grad students hanging out with high school dropouts. Mentality is different.

[@cheryltheblackarmymom9465]

But in America it is not one of the first questions people ask. They ask where u work or what do u do? Not what school u graduated from.

[@niccolom4556]

cheryl the great They ask what school you graduated from because its usually a given that you did graduate from Somewhere. My point was that even if they dont ask immediately in the U.S. , they do care about it and judge based on it.

안녕하세요 언니~~ The most popular question is "밥 먹었어요?". ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋ

[@Mira-yo4sh]

To Finnish people this is probably really, not weird thing but just like not something that we do. Normal is to ask how old are you,(to some womens this might be really rude tho) but feel like Finnish people don't like to ask that personal questions. We ask things when we start kind of warm up, like do you have any siblings, which school are you ect. We like first ask very basic questions. Not that personally ones. But sometimes they are people who might even ask do you have girlfriend or boyfriend. To be honest its pretty personal what questions do you ask first in Finland. After all we are very kind and forgiving people so we don't take it bad that someone asks lot if personal questions.
