I like this channel. No censorship or sugarcoating on what do Chinese really think. Like last time when they were asked about dating foreigners. Many of them said that they will not date Indians or Africans and this is 100% true because I have lots of Chinese friends who would say the same thing. The same goes for Japanese.

I wonder where and how this “Koreans claim everything to be theirs” rumor in China came about. I see many Chinese on the Internet citing “Koreans claim Confucius was Korean” and “Koreans try to steal the dragonboat festival and zongzi (correct me if I’m wrong)” as examples, but I can assure you, as a Korean, that a) 99.9% of the Koreans know and will admit Confucius was Chinese and b) we don’t even have this “dragonboat festival” or eat zongzi in Korea. I hope this clears at least some of the misperception the guy at 5:30 has towards Koreans.

[@hanchristine1606]

Yeah... I can understand your confusion. I cannot explain this phenomenon academically as I haven't learned yet, but I believe there may be some specific explanation in Sociology, Social Psychology, or even Philosophy. Whenever there is only one Koren posting some misleading words /hate speech on the internet, even if the speech does not represent the opinions of the whole population of Korea, has been seen by the Chinese, the rumor will become "all the Koren think like that". Vice versa. This is how hatred exists. And this is how the internet works. While “hating people out of the group" together gives people a sense of belonging, people may plant the "hatred" in their minds deeper and deeper...... Anyway, hopeless (just joking).

[@port_bondadamor4637]

Problem started with the internet and the increasing popularity of Kpop and Kdramas. I don't know how, but many people started to create a different "History" of Korea, attributing to Korea all the inventions and feats traditionally attributed to the Chinese, for example, paper. Doesn't mean they're Korean, but that annoys. For example, I am European, I studied History and my country's relationship with the East and Europe's first contacts with Asian peoples, and there are countless Chinese and Japanese manuscripts and artifacts in our museums and libraries and there is not a single Korean one.

[@cel5365]

Idk but I remember some idol getting dragged by knetz for calling the lunar new year chinese new year, also claiming that Pao Cai is Kimchi and china copied korea. Plus just in general not only with chinese, I’ve seen knetz claim some japanese idol group was copying kpop groups with school concept when that concept 100% looked like a school life shoujo concept and those kpop idols most likely got inspired by japan not the other way around, and that happens fairly often.

First thank you for your great videos. They are very good point to learn more words and sentences. I try to learn a little Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese beside Chinese, and I feel like Korean and Japanese are more difficult than Chinese and Vietnamese, because of conjugation. They seems like the same family (Altaic languages), vietnamese is austroasiatic and have no conjugation, just like in Chinese. pronunciation of Japanese is easier for French like me, Korean is harder than Chinese for their vowels (like in Mongolian, lot of vowels, very hard to hear for French native speaker), I feel like they have mostly the same consonants than in Mandarin or Japanese. I know some korean people in France, I like to eat in good Korean restaurant, the best I eat was probably in Beijing, but there are some good one in Paris too. Not lot of cuisines like in China, but good I like it too, due to sesam (oil and seed), and hot pepper, I feel some time that's like lot of Hunan/Hubei/Sichuan food with these two mala (麻辣味) aspects. The Korean script is easy to learn, probably one of the easier on earth, but, there is less clue than in Chinese script to understand what is the subject of an unknown word. You are both very nice in spirit, I like to go to visit China, and feel very good there every-time. Only gone one time in North Korea, an half an hour trip on a river from Datong, that was a nice and interesting trip. Never gone to S.Korea. I was a little sad that I didn't feel like Korean minority food I eat in Liaoning/Jilin was not good as in Beijing, Shandong province or Paris. Perhaps not a good choice in restaurants in really short trip. In some case that's really easy to know that people is Korean due to their fashion, sometime I can't see the difference with Chinese, but with their language (if they are not Koreans from China, I already meet several times in Paris, they often speak both mandarin, North-East dialects, and chinese variant of korean language). That was fun to ear korean from China and South-Korea gently dispute with laugh about the pronunciation of some korean word on Changbai shan (长白山). Hope they will again be able to meet easily their North korean friends and family soon. In Paris I know some korean people from both, China, South Korea and Japan (their family gone to Japan during colonization (~1900~1945), the last one was seen by Japanese gvt like North-Korean (朝鲜 become N.Korea, S Korea changed name) citizen, and was forbid to go out of Japan until 1990s if I'm not wrong, due to cold war relations. The korean from Japan said me that kamikaze in planes during the WWII was often Koreans. I feel like Senegalese people that was at first line in France, or black people in US during WWII (and no black people at the victory on the Champs-Élysées, segregation ended (officially at least) in 1960's only). US and more generally NATO supported apartheid until the very end, when at the same time, China, Cuba and Gaddafi's Lybia, supported anti-apartheid movement. There are lot of south-korean orphans that grown in France, has their mother are nearly forced to throw them if they divorced, this is a big business for few companies in S. Korea. They are often called Kim (probably an error due to the order of Name/surname between Asia and Europe). They generally don't speak korean at all, but like this culture and as most french children, Japanese manga. I'm not a fan of k-pop, or drama, but I really like traditional Korean dance and music like samul nori (very chamanic/dancing). And their traditional costumes, very near from Tang dynasty one with their special own touch. One of the best point for their culture, their openness, They continue to learn chinese characters in school, and they like chinese and all the world culture due to their tradition to give half book from korea, half from around the whole planet for child birthday. I like too their great tradition of child illustrated book, with fine painting, and funny and smart stories with the tiger and the great-mother as main characters.

Unlike Indo-European languages of Europe, those Asian languages that you learned are not related to each other. Koreans and Japanese have many borrowed words from Chinese, but they are totally different. Many Europeans wrongly assume that these East Asian languages are mutually somewhat intelligible like French, Spanish and Italian. The answer is NO. Korean (and Japanese as well) does NOT belong to the altaic language family. They belong in their own unique category. They are like Basque in Europe.

This was interesting to watch as a Korean. Despite Korean language being largely based on traditional Chinese (like English is to Roman) and our cuisine rooted in China, we don't know much about the country at all. I think it's mostly because the Chinese tourists here rarely speak Korean or English, the only two languages we know. "Authentic" Chinese restaurants in Korea are the closest thing Koreans know about China, which is mostly a few GuangZhou or Hong Kong dishes that are "Korean-ized" (I was disappointed many times to find my delivery wasn't Beijing Duck but in fact guangzhou style braised duck). Sadly I think European people in general have a much more accurate and positive view on Chinese culture than us Koreans who are mostly either not curious or negative towards China. I liked the guy in the orange shirt and glasses, he really knew his Korean stuff and explained the differences really accurately.

[@yonghocho796]

The Korean language is actually very different from the Chinese languges -- although Korean makes use of conceptual words made up using Chinese characters (as does Japanese with its sino-Japnese words), the language itself (e.g., grammar, everyday vocabulary, phonetics) is completely different from Chinese; if anything, Korean and Japanese are very similar. So I think your statement that “Korean language being largely based on traditional Chinese” is way off.

In my mind, Koreans are workaholics, and I admire their big brands like Samsung, Hyundai, LG, although Japanese still remain higher quality, and Chinese now catch up Korea. They also have a double-side, Eastern and Western cultures. I'd love to visit South Korea, but frankly, it would be my third priority after first: China and second: Japan, two countries which sound more genuine than Korea in terms of tourism.

Chineese DO thing they are the center of the world - cause high kingdom is heaven, middle kingdom - of course, china, and then there is Underworld.

Koreans must live amicably with Chinese people. Many Korean intellectuals know that there are a massive number of people possessing Korean DNAs (>20%) in China. Ancient Korea and its people were born in the greater China territories and only a fraction of them migrated to the Korean Peninsula and Japan. In Asia, you never know you are a Korean descendant until you have your DNA test done.

[@Keay9527]

part of the ancestors of Koreans people are actually from ancient China. most Han Chinese people have 70% majority Han DNA, and how much of this DNA do Koreans people have? maybe less than 40%...facts are facts and science is science, we all need to respect that...

Korea's population is 5% of China's, and 30% of Japan's. I think as a relatively smaller nation sandwiched between Russia, China and Japan, a little nationalism developed over thousands of years is natural and understandable. - WW
