No entry to foreigners | My experience with Racism and Discrimination in Seoul, South Korea

[@Lxmxn97]

I don't go clubbing but I have been refused service in a restaurant because I am Black. It was crazy because I just wanted to get take out. People looked like they felt sorry for me but no one helped unfortunately. Luckily that was the only time I have experience discrimination in South Korea. Also according many of my friends who go to bars/clubs often, some clubs will let in foreigners one day/ hour. But then within the next few hours or days they won't let in any foreigners or only let in certain kinds of foreigners.

[@brucemartin---27m61]

Yes, unfortunately people with darker skin tones are discriminated against the most in South Korea, heard many stories. Nowadays it’s very difficult to find a proper nightclub which would allow foreigners. As foreigners our best bet is to go to lounges, bars, places like that, but not clubs, very unlikely we will be allowed.

This is surprisingly common and even in places like Itaewon which is supposed to be the more multicultural and inclusive area has bars and clubs that don't allow foreigners. I have gotten pretty good at knowing which places are discriminatory and which are foreigner friendly.

This year I decided to go to S Korea and on many levels I could feel this discrimination. For example, I wanted to attend the last BTS concert so badly taking place in Korea, but if you didn't win the lottery concert ticket, they made it impossible for foreigners to get a chance to obtain a ticket. What we found out is when it was time for the public sale (for Korean interpark and Global interpark) they blocked the foreign IPs and log you out to make sure you can't make it but definitely, the Korean website version didn't have all those issues and is designed in a way you lose less time for a booking. So in this case like any clever person, I thought I would use the Korean website version with a translator...no no no they made it in a way that this is also impossible for foreigners to use it as they ask for residence verification, social security etc. I also tried to rent a car, I could see that the websites for international people and speak English were renting cars for £114 when if you translate a rental car company with a Korean website it was actually £23...no comment I also had a got on these shitty apps saying they are in English version but you can't look it up in English or with difficulties as it's either doesn't come up or coming up in Korean like naver, KaKao map/taxi etc. I thought it was just quite sad as it seems they want to open up to the world but when you go there it's as if we are not wanted there

[@a.westenholz4032]

Frankly from what I can tell all the cultures of Korea, China, and Japan have the same problem of racism and discrimination towards foreigners. In a rather blunt way. I was sometimes very much taken aback when in China by their attitudes, but at that time assumed it was due to the Chinese being so cut off from most of the world. There was no question it was racist. Since then I have heard too many similar stories from Korea and Japan not to think that this is part of some of the larger and generally shared culture that they have. The same way that while European countries may have very varied individual cultures, they also have a general shared culture that they are part of in the region. What I have found, is while there may be a difference in how it is expressed and to what degree, in all 3 countries there is some sense of this racial and cultural superiority. The irony is that at the same time they are extremely sensitive to any perceived slight or "non-acceptance" when abroad due to them being from wherever they are, or they credit the welcome with how impressed the world is by their nationality and race. As if the reason X got treated the way they did was either because of discrimination or because we admire the Chinese/Koreans/Japanese so much for their innate and superior ability. The fact that they can't see their own discrimination and the utter hypocrisy of it is something I always find shocking. I also think that the reason that many people don't want to call out S. Korea and Japan in the same way as China, has to do with the type of people who go there. Most go to these countries full of positive expectations of experiencing a new culture they admire, and don't want to see the negatives. Even if they do see and admit they exist, they will often rationalize and excuse them. Or just not comment at all. Most of this type of foreigners are afraid of seeming culturally insensitive in calling it out.

[@brucemartin---27m61]

Well said. If only I stayed there longer I would probably try to go to all these clubs around Seoul but this time put a microphone on my body and ask my friend to video record the whole thing at the entrances, how they deny and how they make up various excuses to deny entry. I’m sure it would be one of those videos that could explode on KZbin, or at least accumulate enough views to raise awareness. There are more than 2 million foreigners staying in South Korea, I hope someone does this.

Of course not every person I met was like that, but more than enough to make it a common daily experience. To be fair, Chinese at least have an excuse for the ignorance that is the root cause for this, they are a large country that is mostly inward looking and has been cut off for most of the population in living memory from real knowledge of the rest of the world.

Yes, many clubs deny entry only to foreign men. I guess it’s because most of these places are controlled by men: owners, managers, security staff, bouncers etc are all korean men, so when they see foreign men they most likely just feel bad about the possibility of local girls liking foreigners over local guys. I guess it’s a mix of racism + male jealousy, mostly jealousy in this case. Don’t see other reasons why they would deny foreign men only.

[@콩나물-b9l]

@@franciscovilcheavila960 U clearly dont know the history. America and Korea made a pact cannot punish Americans by Korean rule. So US soidlers has been problem. Korean ancestory? I found they have more respect withtin the Korean culture since they grew up on it. All the other places than club you can go no problem only clubs since they dont want trouble. So reason is they cant distinguish Americans and other foreiners. Blame Americans not Korean on this matter. You can go anywhere ofc other than those specific clubs. They dont want problem. I seen clubs forbids Indian ppl they might have had indian person to cause problem. So always act right u can be representative of your country and color. U might ask its stupid but outside of world we cant distinguish good and bad right away.

[@franciscovilcheavila960]

@@콩나물-b9l They dont "grew up on it" after all they are foreigners and koreans dont like foreigners doesnt matter the background. Other places ban foreigners like certain restaurants, in some music festivals foreigners cant buy tickets Cant go to certain vacation hotels etc etc. In other ocassions some foreigns are allowed like the ones from first world countries like USA/Japan/France/UK but foreigners from third world countries like Brazil/Philippines/Vietnam/Nigeria etc are banned to enter And funny because South Korea need foreign soldiers to protect their country against North Korea I dare you that if somebody applied the same stuff to koreans aboard you are gonna be b1tching with the "StopAsianHate" For example in some places korean tourist acts like jerks , not to mention that in other countries the koreans BAN NATIVES TO ENTER IN THEIR RESTAURANTS/FOOD MARKET/STORES/SCHOOLS heck they dont even allow natives who wants to study korean language in their korean school . If a korean acts like a j3rk and somebody says something awful about the korean tourist you can find koreans accusing the people of racism, but when koreans are racist agains others or xenophobic always try to use an excuse.

[@brucemartin---27m61]

I have been to all those clubs many times too, since 2014 until the last time in 2018, every time I visited Seoul I had no issues entering. It was only now that they started with these discrimination policies. I guess it’s because of some new regulations they might have made during the pandemic. With that being said, I always heard about this discrimination towards foreigners here and there, especially toward people of darker skin tones.

I am sorry you are being discriminated against. Unfortunately, racial discrimination is a whole world problem, if you are in a country where you are obviously a foreigner, or dark skinned, or gay, or elderly you are likely to be discriminated against. Discrimination makes you feel isolated , and wronged.

I'm Korean living in California and faced racism since coming to America. Racism is not exclusive to Korea, it exists everywhere. I've been told to go to back China dozens of times and I'm not even Chinese. Asians have been verbally and physically attacked all over America. At least in Korea, they don't beat you up for not being Korean.

I wanna see you try to enter a hot spot club in any metropolitan regions like NYC or LA, with: 1- no girls 2- no money 3- likely not dressed 4- no table 5- no connects Unless you're a supermodel or BTS you're not getting in these big clubs for free or even with a fee. Next time, why don't you try to bring 1 or 2 girls and watch how the bouncers will let you instantly. Clubs have to maintain a right ratio of men and women in order to draw the big fish spenders who are the only reason the club operates without a loss in the first place. 2 foreigners who are likely not going to spend (if you were going to spend you would've paid for a table), brings 0 value to the club. Even 2 Korean men that have no money and look mid to put bluntly isn't going to get in by waiting in line. And the fact that you're trying to pin this on racism shows the true nature of this issue. Clearly, you've never been clubbing in the US if you say other countries don't deny entry to people like this.

People have this habit of taking their expectations, from wherever they live, and applying it to where they travel and get upset when they are not met. American’s have this really bad but this young man is from China. Other countries don’t owe you anything. They have their own Culture and laws. Do your research before you go and if you do not enjoy yourself do not go back. Any amount of research wld have brought up red flags and he and his friends wld had gone visiting somewhere else and cld have had a good time. Instead they just showed up, got what they got and now complaining on KZbin about Racism. It’s not Racism against you, it is South Korean doing what they do everyday (Mostly Classism/Ageism), being South Korea.

If you had bothered to research South Korea before going, you would have known this before going.

The racism Racism is a sensitive subject especially in our time, but exactly what's the meaning of racism . the racism is the belief that another person is less than human -- because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth, religion or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. In the religion of Islam there is no racism because all people are equal . The messenger of Allah, Muhammad said: لا فرق بين عربي و لا أعجمي و لا أبيض ولا أسود إلا بالتقوى" حديث شريف" it means that there is no difference between Arabic and not Arabic People and between white or black person, but except in piety.( believing in god and doing good deeds and to move away from evil deeds , Obedience to Allah ....) It is shortly the view of el Islam about racism ,so what do you think about racism?
