I like her articulation. Every syllable is clear!

[@fumowu]

when i visited Seoul in October of last year, I've talked to many many people, and only a few were able to understand and reply in English. my Korean is really flimsy still, but it was nevertheless a bigger help than English! i understand the struggle of speaking English though, as it is too not my native language :) Koreans working at cafes and shops definitely knew basic phrases and used them with ease, but when I tried to ask the receptionist at the hotel for a second blanket, I had to switch to Korean, which was stressful because at that time I barely had any real life experience in Korean and my vocab was too very small! (Still, I've gotten my second blanket) I think because of the fact that many Korean people struggle with English they are VERY patient with a foreigner attempting to speak Korean, which was a very pleasurable surprise! Thank you for the video

[@Rascilon25]

Do you think it is worth getting a private tutor? I plan to volunteer in Korea in 2026, but have almost no experience with reading or speaking. I don't even know how to write or speak the alphabet. I know there are free lessons on youtube but I find it difficult to stay honest and regular with my studies. I am curious what you found most helpful in learning the language. Can you help me decide?

[@fumowu]

@@Rascilon25 In my case it was 100% worth it because I struggle with consistency but having a tutor really keeps you accountable. Also I think if your native language is really different from Korean, you may really struggle with some things in the language. Tutors also offer personal approach and for me it's really valuable. Although it's definitely not a cheap way to learn a language :) but i still think it's worth the investment, especially if you plan to live there for quite some time.

[@user-zk4dy5he2d]

Agree, there are also languages that have suffixes to turn a noun in a more cute-ish/small/affectionate (depends on context) noun like german or greek. Ex. German, suffix:-chen Die Schachtel - Das Schächtelchen A box - a small box Greek: -ακι (-aki) Το κουνέλι (to kouneli) - το κουνελάκι (to kounelaki) A bunny- a small bunny The usages may not be the same as koreans use aegyo but i still think its similar

About dog meat you should've said the bill passed to make it completely banned & illegal by 2027. It's only old people eating dog because of old habit from the time of war when they had to choose to starv or eat... Most Koreans never tried dog!

[@theworldofwoo8320]

This isnt even remotely true. In the Buyeong Market there are a couple places you can buy dog meat. In fact there are quite a few restaurants scattered around Bupyeong and Bucheon that serve it. And get some education, its not a dog you can keep as a pet. Its not that kind of dog. Your comment is like the idiots that say Chinese eat cat. They eat Cvit. It looks like a cat but it is not.

[@metaturnal]

Still the dog breeders say it is part of the culture and should be protected. And they threatened to release 2 million dogs in Seoul, in protest of the law. Don't know if they were exaggerating, but if the number is correct, then that means there are a lot of people who eat dog in Korea. Apparently there were 200 dog breeders at the protest. Which also doesn't seem like a small amount, considering many might have been to ashamed to show their face, as they should be IMO.

[@mollymoo7432]

I wanted to add my personal perspective to a few of these if it’s ok. I’ve studied Korean for 6 years and lived in Korea for 1 year, in my 2nd now. 1) Spicy Food It’s my personal opinion that this stereotype is perpetuated because Koreans are quite proud of their ability to eat spicy food. 😅 Many Korean people I’ve met throughout the years have noted that Koreans eat spicy food well, while Americans do not, which I must say, as an American, I’m not sure this is entirely true. Also, among new Korean friends, there have been times when I’ve reached for what is thought of as a stereotypically spicy dish, and I’ve been met with surprised remarks, gasps, etc. Actually, with respect, I’ve never heard any westerner say they think that all Korean food is spicy, but I DO know Korean people who are shocked when westerners can eat spicy food, which indicates a stereotype about westerners. 😅 2) Luxury items I’ve seen tons in Gangnam-head to areas like 잠실, 대치, 압구정, etc., and you’ll see where that luxury item statistic is coming from. At the Gangnam hagwon I work at, even the children wear luxury items (then just throw them on the ground because they’re kids and that’s what they do). 3) Koreans’ English Proficiency Koreans tend to speak English quite well in Seoul, and especially in education hotspots in Gangnam. From what I’ve heard and ever so slightly experienced, this changes as you go out into the country. It also changes based on the age demographic you are speaking to. Note: I don’t think it should really matter how good their English is though! If you go to Korea, please endeavor to use as much Korean as possible! IMO, It’s a rich language that needs to be learned and valued worldwide so it won’t ever be lost to English. 4) Aegyo Many of the stereotypes surrounding aegyo do come from Kpop, but I do also think that the occasional rising and falling intonation at the end of Korean sentences, to the native English speaking ear, can sound unintentionally “cute.” That’s because rising and falling intonations denote whining in English, and whining is typically associated with children (PLEASE REMEMBER I LOVE KOREAN WHEN I SAY THAT). For example, the children I work with at my hagwon are already quite fluent in English, but for some of them, one of the last things “to go” is their intonation. I have a little bug in my class who does a little up and down tone at near the end of every phrase sometimes, and it is beyond adorable. I’ve heard adults do this sort of thing as well, and even in Korean, it can definitely sound like someone is being intentionally cute or playfully whiny if an English speaker isn’t used to it. I wanted to write this because I’d actually never heard some of these stereotypes among people I know.

[@metaturnal]

Right? It is sometimes a bit annoying that most expect no one in the Western hemisphere can eat spicy food, even though it varies from country to country and person to person. And in foreign restaurants there is rarely spicy food, for example Indian, Thai and Mexican. Even though all three of these countries probably eat spicier on average than in Korea.

I also felt a bit strange when I watched KZbin videos and saw comments asking if Korea uses a lot of makeup. At first, I wondered why foreigners thought that way. I later found out that in other countries, using only skin care products is considered makeup. Things like skin lotion, toner, skin cream, body lotion. If we define the scope of makeup to that extent, Korean men, even from their father's generation, use skin care products. Regardless of age or gender, Koreans use a lot of skin care products. In Korea, when you put on color makeup, it is considered makeup. Men also have eyebrow tattoos, so I thought it would be natural for foreigners to think that Korea wears a lot of makeup. In particular, there are a lot of men who use mask packs. . And no one thinks it's strange. But I met some friends on a trip and they thought it was strange when I gave them a mask pack as a gift. They thought I was gay. In foreign countries, it seems like they think that's gay. It seems that young men these days even use foundation products to some extent. It's just enough to cover up blemishes. Although the number is not large, I feel that the number of such people is increasing.

My Korean practice partner is an English teacher in Korea, and she too says that the focus is grammar and reading, but not speaking.. so Koreans tend to be shy when speaking English as they do not practice it often. She also says that foreigners are less self conscious and will often speak a foreign language even if they’re not perfect, while Koreans are more self conscious, so it could also be a cultural difference?

그 화장의 범위가 로션 스킨이 포함 된 조사라면? 5~60%는 화장을 한다고 볼수도 있을 것 같아요. 그러나 한국에서 쌍커플 수술이 시술로 통용되고 수술은 아니라는 인식이 있는 것처럼 로션스킨도 화장을 한다 라는 인식에서는 벗어나 피부 보습을 위해 샤워나 세안 후 당연히 하는 행위로 간주되기 때문에 물어보면 화장을 안한다고 말하는 것 같네요.

Some of these I don’t think I’ve ever really thought about, before-like the war and dog meat. The makeup bit I don’t think I know clearly, but what about skincare? I’ve heard that a lot of Korean men take really good care of their skin, just as much as women do. Thank you for this video! It’s good to have clarification on these things.

[@skyshin39]

Korean men use a lot of skin care products. In Korea, makeup refers to color makeup. Skin care products are universal regardless of gender or age. In fact, Korea's men's beauty market is huge. Statistically, it is the largest in the world. Most of them are skin care products. But in foreign countries, it seems like this is also seen as makeup. I'm a guy and I met some friends on a trip and they thought it was strange when I gave them a mask pack as a gift. They thought I was gay. so funny

[@christinelockwood3497]

@@skyshin39 Thank you! I know I don’t think of it as make up, at least, but I know that outside of Korea, skin care is usually thought of as something only women do. Oh no! I hope your friends understand now that skin care among men in Korea is normal!

I can definitely relate to Koreans being flustered when they are suddenly addressed in English. For me, it is French. Even though I can understand it pretty well, it's hard to come up with the words on the spot so whenever someone talks to me in French, I must appear either stupid or arrogant for not replying immediately, or not in French ^^o In Korea, I had the feeling that people in cities, esp. younger people, speak English quite well (and they probably expect it more), but in the countryside it was difficult. So my little bit of Korean helped and both sides tended to talk some EN-KR gibberish but it worked xD Everyone I talked to was quite lovely about it. The most funny to me was that a few Koreans didn't expect me to speak Korean at all so they didn't understand my Korean questions as they expected some English words - at least that's what I think because when I tried again in English, it worked. I'd be humble and say that it might have been my pronunciation,but since that was what my Korean teacher praised most, I don't really think so ;)

It would be the same with other countries. There will be those misunderstandings, misconceptions, ignorance about the culture and people. Some people, they visit a country once, as a tourist, and they think they know everything about that country. In the UK, I've lived in here since 1993 and I notice many immigrants who don't like to mingle or are uncomfortable with the other ethnicity in this country especially so the English, the Welsh or the Scots. Then I hear them talk some uncomfortable things yet they don't really know. Mingle, get to know people, be nice, know their history, we are just the same people after all with our own hearts and minds.

If I had to guess, perhaps the luxury goods per capita consumption is skewed due to the increasing number of foreigners migrating into Korea in recent years. Also, considering how much of the overall population of the country lives in Seoul, and the culture in Seoul and everywhere else in Korea is relatively different in a lot of aspects, this could also play a part of it. I don't think luxury goods are really cared about that much anywhere besides Seoul.

맵지 않은 음식이 있긴 하지만 한식이 맵다고 하면 틀리지 않은 거 같아요. 10년쯤 전에 한국에 출장갔을 때 한국인 진행자들이 몇 번 식당에 데려가주셨어요. 저는 그때 매운 걸 진짜 못 먹었으니까 뭔가 안 매운 걸 주문해달라고 부탁했어요. 매번 맛있는 걸 찾아주셨지만 항상 저를 놀렸어요. 백김치가 아기 음식이라고 등. (백김치가 출신 나라에 먹었던 음식이랑 비슷해서 되게 맛있게 먹었어요! 이유식이 아니에요!) 화는 안 났어요. 그냥 다정한 농담이란 걸로 알고 있었어요. 근데... 매운 음식을 안 먹는 것은 한국에 평범한다면 그정도 웃기지 않을 거 맞죠? :)

매운 것 먹지 못 하는 사람은 중국집에 갑시다. 首尔到处有中餐厅。仁川还有唐人街。

Do Korean women love flowerboys from the K-dramas and avoid muscles? That's the question I have in my mind. Considering the different statuses of masculinity more accepted between the Asian countries and the Western countries.

[@propertymanager9149]

they like pretty faces. I dont know what you mean by avoiding muscles. pretty boys can be jacked too and these guys tend to be super popular irl

[@user-d1fics82ie8]

They don't hate muscles. But I think they just like natural look muscles rather than huge muscles that look like they've used drugs

First of all I'm no expert, but when it comes to luxury items, I have heard and watched a documentary that quite many young Korean people take loans to be able to afford such items (statistically one of the highest % in the world). And actually among them are quite many who can't even pay back their loans so they are in dept. Usually the main reason is because of social media which makes them think that they have to own such items to fit in the society and feel better about themselves when they show their fancy items in social media or on the streets. The sad part about it is that when it comes to people who are taking loans for such items and especially when they are in dept because of it, then obviously they are showing off items that they really can not afford but this still spreads the understanding as if there are many who own luxury items and if one wants to feel good about themselves on social media or on the streets they may feel pressured to buy luxury items also even if it doesn't fit their financial situation. Don't want to spread negativity, but just to raise awareness of the situation. But to those who haven't been to Korea yet, don't worry about it when going to Korea. According to my understanding - while there are many who care about what brands do you wear, there are even more who doesn't care about it at all. When it comes to Korean men wearing makeup, I have also heard that it applies to ~20% of men in Korea. But I'm not sure what is the big deal about it. If women can, why men can't. If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to look. It doesn't do any harm to others when someone is wearing a makeup regardless of their gender. People should learn to mind their own business in that sense :) Personally I prefer natural beauty over created beauty, but really I don't care at all what others want to do with their looks - their body, their choice. I have heard that Korean people learn English basically to pass exams (with a good score) but not so much conversational. In my experience about half of the young people in Korea spoke English to me but I felt that the % is actually higher who can speak English. Just quite often they are too shy and say as if they can't or just too busy and maybe it is easier to say that you can't speak English instead of saying that you don't have time to help out. So I think that even though the teaching methods are not that great for developing better conversational English, quite many young people in Korea can still speak English at least to some extent :) But I discovered a way to make them forget about their shyness. My tip is to not ask if they can speak English, but just ask what you need help with. It will catch them off guard and most of them will naturally start answering in English even if they otherwise would have said that they can't speak English if you started with that question. :) Overall there are some things that people believe to be true for most/all Korean people (for example aegyo) based on dramas or idols, but I'm surprised that their view is so narrow :) But I guess as long as they have a positive perception, it is fine xD Anyway Korea is my most favorite country and for sure because there are many good reasons behind it :)

[@propertymanager9149]

you watched some orientalist doc on korea and took it as fact

[@wisecherry]

@@propertymanager9149 If you are talking about the first part, then I have been to Korea a few times and I have heard it from someone directly too. When it comes to the two documentaries I have seen about it, I don't remember the sources anymore. I do remember one of the documentary had real Korean people who are in this situation talking about it. Of course I don't know for sure how big is the issue, but it seems to be an issue though. No one has to believe what I'm saying or take it as a complete truth (even I'm not 100% sure because it is just based on what I have heard), but I hope at least it will make people think about it from a different angle before they act :)

[@propertymanager9149]

​@@wisecherry Yeah im sure Koreans really opened up to you enough to tell you shit like that 🤣 that never happened. Also 20% make up? where''d you pull that number some korean told you? you barely speak English let alone korean

개고기를 설명한 부분이 너무 아쉽네요. 홍대에서 찾아봤다라거나 학교급식, 회사식당에 안나온다 이런거는 무리한 설정입니다. 한국인으로서 말씀드리면 한국인들 99.99%는 개고기를 먹지 않습니다. 아주 나이 많은 소수의 어르신분들 중에 드시는 분이 있습니다. 그리고 판매하는 식당도 한국에 일부지역에 극소수로 모여있었는데 그마저 법으로 없어졌습니다. 그리고 대부분 한국인은 개고기를 먹지 않기 때문에 외국인이 말하지 않는 이상 개고기라는 주제로 대화할일이 일상에서 없습니다.

Although eating dog isn't common in Korea, especially in Seoul, the Agriculture ministry estimated in 2022 that there are 1,600 dog meat restaurants. There are over 1,100 dog farms breeding over 570,000 dogs to be eaten. The Korean Association of Edible Dogs commented on the recent incoming BAN on dog meat, saying it would actually affect 3,500 famrs, raising 1.5 million dogs for 3,000 restaurants. So, whichever statistic you want to believe, it's still a lot. Though the ban will be coming in soon and they'll all have to do something else. Aegyo is everywhere, even my wife does it. I find that Korean people act like this due to the influence of dramas and the numerous reality TV shows. Korean humour and comedy is still very slaptstick and reliant on physicality and facial expression in comparison with western humour. You can especially see this overacting when they are surprised, or amazed at something.

[@RAPHA0000]

A restaurant that sells dog meat is called Bosintang Restaurant. Of course, there are restaurants exclusively for dog meat, but on the contrary, there are many restaurants that sell a variety of foods. Not all of the restaurants you suggested are for dog meat. And now, most of the people in their 40s and younger in Korea have never eaten dog meat, and the main consumers of dog meat are those in their 60s and older who have lived a rough life. The dog meat culture in Korea, known in the West, is very exaggerated, and there is a small number of dog meat consumers in the entire population. There will be no dog meat consumption in the future due to the revision of the law, but even without it, it is a culture that will naturally survive because young people rarely consume dog meat. Rather, China consumes more dog meat than Korea, as there is a dog meat festival. And there are almost all dog meat consumers in most of Asia. It's really questionable why Korea has become synonymous with a dog meat eating country.

Who cares..if you eat cows or pigs you cant speak..yt boy

[@layoutarchitect]

i would like to say that korea is not racist. but it is very hard to say it when you have seen communities of schools, office groups, and k-netizens. racism is in every country, and some are more racist towards aseans.

[@slee2695]

The most racism I ever faced was in the Philippines...

[@kersanax007]

Great video. I didn't thought people actually ate dogs, i always thought it was a joke when people said asians ate dogs and cats. I wonder if it's good, I'll have to try it if i ever go to korea.
