This story misses the structural issue behind love motels. Falling salaries and increased housing prices make it almost impossible for most young Koreans to move out of their parents homes.

[@rikterandersson3568]

It is the same on the critique of low birth rates of Japan or the obesity of the US. There are big structural forces at play. It is hard to have or want sex when lives are constantly stressed or pushed to work. Not to mention a feeling of never able to put down roots or feel free.

What about renting instead of buying? Or is renting also prohibitively expensive?

[@boopyournose5698]

@@Akas410 Late here, but the most popular renting option is where you pay enormous amount of money as a deposit (usually between 50% and 70% of the property's value and it is returned to the tenant in full after two years, but you don't pay monthly fee for the property itself). And this system takes up around 70% of renting properties. Basically the idea is that it's good for landlord and for the renter since the renter can save money during those 2 years (if he had the initial money to even rent the place) and the landlord can invest this large sum of money and for 2 years it will give him interest from investments. But it doesn't work if one doesn't have money to begin with.

[@lacielleonheart]

I'll say it as a Korean. . The video seems to want to say that the cause of Korea's extremely low birth rate is "conservative about sex." However, the timing of the baby boom in Korea was far more conservative about sex than it is now imaginable. So what made Korea like this? Moon Jae-in government's failed real estate policy due to the newlyweds couldn't afford to get home. Also, the youth unemployment rate has increased significantly due to job policy failures. And the conflict between men and women in Korea is serious. Korean man is no willingness to understand the feminism. They even as misandronist for feminist women. There is no willingness to improve themselves' misconception of sex. So most Korean women have an extreme hatred of Korean men.

[@jaianna843]

This explains so much of a korean girl I knew. She had a boyfriend who she lived with but seemed to hate him. I was kind of like, well why are you with him? She didn't even post pictures of them on Instagram or nothing. And she also told a group of girls who had korean men fetishes because of kpop that korean men were the worst. To never marry one.

Honestly I think that the only reason people in Korea are avoiding to marry is because the cost of the housing, the schools, universities, private academies and even food is crazy high and having a child or two on your shoulders is not an easy thing at all!!! I’ve recently got engaged to my korean bf and we are definitely worried about how we will be able to support our children in the future if we ever have! Marriage is still something that everyone wants to do in korea, but the worries that come with it are encouraging people to not do it. So I think one solution could be stop focusing on seoul only and expand other areas in korea so that the prices get distributed as people don’t concentrate on only one area in the whole korea!

[@pidgeongguk8818]

@B Z Everything you have written here is grossly racist, misogynistic, misandristic, ignorant and shows your apparent one sided view of the world and the human mind. You said that "South Korean women are responsible for decline in dating, sex, marriage, etc". Let's assume that you are talking about straight couples. Notice the word COUPLES - none of these are things a women can do by herself, and would do it with a man (again, assuming that she is straight). It is very unfair of you to place all of the blame on the woman when the aforementioned require two people. What proof do you have that women have become 'picky, shallow and demanding of men'? Don't you mean that women have standards, know their worth and will stand for nothing less than being treated right by their partner? Who would want to be in a relationship with someone that offers less? You also stated that South Korean men have very easy standards. This isn't fair to them, either. South Korean men should also know their worth and shouldn't stand for being treated badly. And why do you even say that South Korean men have easy standards? Has a South Korean man ever dated you? You said that your Korean friend told you about the dating sites where girls get hundreds of offers while men get less. The same is true with any dating site, and is partly due to the fact that women tend to be more careful about who they choose to meet up with. After all, if a man rapes a woman, and runs off, it's not the man who has to deal with the aftermath that is the struggles of pregnancy, labour, a baby, a cut off education, possibly losing a job, shame from society, mental stress, fees for the baby and the baby's future etc. Or on the other side, the stress and struggles of giving up a child, or abortion. What makes good looking guys with third level education and corporate jobs any better than waitresses, cleaners and store girls? Class and education have nothing to do with the worth of a human being, and how they should be cared for. And why would said women want to date K-pop idols and romance novel heroes? If they have near minimum wage jobs like in the situations you put them in, then surely they would not have a mindset more grounded in reality. It is arguably easier for women to become financially independent due to the stigma around women in workplaces lessening. But that has nothing to do with what we look for in a partner. Hot looks, charm, sexiness instant chemistry can play a major role for BOTH men and women looking for a partner, but it is personality, loyalty and stability among other things that are essential in a lasting relationship. I say "arguably easier" because South Korea currently has the largest gap in pay that a man and woman receives - on average, a Korean male receives 34.6% times more pay than a woman does for the same work hours. It is the currently the worst pay gap among 1st world countries. So while it is becoming more acceptable to see more women working, it is still not financially fair. So Korean women DO look for stability, and a partner's job stability. You said that the 'hot guys' that women hook up with "arent availabe". That heavily implies that these "hot guys" are either 1) already married, or 2) uninterested in marriage. If it is the the former, then that is adultery and both parties are guilty. That also means that, assuming the man is married to a woman and not another man, that a woman did in fact "realise this dynamic", didn't hold out, and did not ignore a man who became their equal. If it is the latter, 2) , then you should edit your entire comment to include men - "the problem that you men don't want to acknowledge is that now that men are financially independent, they no longer value loyalty, stability that much and prioritise hot looks, charm, sexiness, instant chemistry, etc that obviously only a percentage of women have. Men, even mediocre looking ones find it very easy to have casual sex and hookups with hot women but for marriage, those women aren't available. Too many men are unwilling to realise this dynamic and are holding out for such women while ignoring women who might be their equals". On the same note - "Any mediocre looking man with a low paying job in Korea can find plenty of decent looking, educated women." You mentioned that Asian women prefer Western men because they have a white-fetish and think Western men are more attractive. Why on earth would you think that, and why do you generalise Asian women this way? Everyone has their own beauty standards, as how every culture does. That is why we often talk about "favourite types". It's very demeaning of you to assume that all Asian women have the same type that includes all of the traits: confident, social, dominant, charming, taller, better endowed, have good physiques, have masculine facial features, and attractive eyes and noses. You said that said features and traits are more prominent in Caucasian men. This is extremely ignorant of you to assume that no Asian men have these features and traits more prominently. Many of the traits you listed are exactly that - traits. They are not genetic. Being dominant, social, charming or having a good physique have NOTHING to do with your race. Onto the ones that ARE hereditary - having masculine facial features, and attractive eyes and noses. Again, masculinity has nothing to do with race, as does attractive eyes and noses. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as does masculinity. There is nothing stopping an Asian woman from finding an Asian man attractive. And as for better endowed? Dick size is completely irrelevant in whether you date someone or not. Do you mention the size of your dick to a women that you want to date? If so it would be hard to imagine you not single. Why is dating a white man an upgrade? Skin colour has nothing to do with how you choose a partner. And why are Asian women in the US, as you say, being racist towards their own race? That doesn't make any sense. Let me take a wild guess and assume that you are a white American man. Don't act like you know what goes on inside the minds of others. You don't speak for them.

@@dennisbielfeld6707 Journalism of this style/level is usually either assigned by a producer/chief editor and then handed off to the journalist, or the initial research for a report is submitted by said journalist to a producer/chief editor who then be gives the green light for the actual report. Either way, the actual script and direction of the report is a result of the journalist reporting. This is evident across all of Vice, and how some people's ideas eventually lead to them becoming regular fixtures and doing regular videos in a style which contains their own distinct voice. This guys particular voice however, seems to come from a very judgmental and narrow view of the world. Not an attitude I would find really embodies the neutral and observational presentation that journalism is supposed to uphold. Obviously a lot of journalism doesn't really uphold such standards nowadays, but when this is an outsider commenting on a culture that's not his own, for no reason other than to inform others of other cultures and ways of life, it just doesn't seem like he needs to sound so judgemental about things he is presenting on. The world is different. He doesn't seem to get that. So reporting on other cultures just doesn't seem a good fit for him. That's all I was trying to say.

Vice loves making videos about the “dark side” of Asian countries. Through editing and music they try to make harmless things seem creepy or wrong. For example the old people out dancing is framed as seedy and eerie

[@laxjoh]

Vice definitely makes it look exaggerated. They would probably defend the practice as proper theatrics for delivery. Like music. However the problems in Korea isn't just something propagated by some dude from Vice. There is definitely a problem in Korea that everyone can see and agree exists. No one can fully agree what exactly is the reason why. Likely for everyone, they are dozen variety of reasons that all contribute. But ultimately Korean culture as a whole has large problems with it. I say that as a Korean person. Most Korean parents won't know who their kids are and vice versa. Korean parents romanticize themselves as good parents because they make kimchi or trivial thing that every race or ethnic group, even the ones Koreans look down on, do. However, one thing Korean parents are horrible at is actually RAISING their kids. Ironic because the culture is 100% surrounding raising a family. Average Korean parents of the previous generation (so parents of ages 50-70 today) had no idea what they were doing; they were still living the old model of "our ancestors did this for a long time so we will do it a long time." And at the turn of the century when all these knowledge are worthless to young Koreans who are 20s-40s, older Koreans who say "our ancestors did it this way so we do it this way" are pretty much bankrupting the younger generation from learning proper experiences to adapt to the modern world. One of the reasons why this is a problem in the first place is because Korean urban culture developed WAY too fast and its culture because of how nationalistic and rigid/conservative it is has not evolved much since South Korean dictator days. Our culture was literally built upon by generations and generations of dictators in Asia subduing the population into subservient position and telling people to be good little boys and do what they're told.

the problem is overpopulation and disproportionate opportunities between the cities and the rural area. The land and therefore, real estate, are dirt cheap on the countryside, but who wants to live on countryside when every opportunities is shit in comparison? This makes cities more overpopulated than in other countries, and therefore, people more unsatisfied. They have higher expectations for their life because Korea is developed thanks partly to this exact overpopulation, but these expectations will ironically rarely be satisfied precisely because there are so many more people that have the similar expectations (because of the same overpopulation). Now you have a population that is always comparing their lives to those of the others and having unrealistically higher expectations that the society will fail to deliver because there are too many people having these expectations. And low birth rate is one of the side effects. People are less inclined to marry because they feel like they could do better.

Another factor is the role of children. Rich people thinks of the children's role in the society, like a lot of Koreans. So they bring them to school, academics, universities, etc. While poor people needs labor. They need every manpower they can get to earn more dime. It may be stretching it too far but I believe it holds quite a large part in their decision to have children.

[@sourgreendolly7685]

Poor people often make more children. In some places, low income is being cited as a main reason not to have children. The more sex education there is, the more this particular trend shifts.

I think the wedding photoshoot was not weird but actually pretty common, they were not acting affectionately so of course the photographer was encouraging, I mean...

[@veryconfused9768]

Yes same is done all over asia

[@talldave1000]

The photoshoot was kind of funny because it's a Korean superstition that if a guy gives a woman shoes, she will use them to run away. I actually did that once to lose a gf on purpose

[@firstladyntrng1170]

Is it though ? I’m black and my mom use to say that too but also if she gave me shoes I had to pay her.. like 5 cent 😂 or something silly, that way she didn’t “give” them to me.

[@sammaloneNZ]

The host talks like the American love-child of Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe. By no means a critique, merely a weird observation...

[@kipklop975]

11:09 he replied very professionally to the host's question - which is kind of presumptuous. Like, housing is really expensive for young people without families, and its not part of the norm/culture here to move out at 20, so how do you expect to have sex where your parents are? its equivalent to you trying to have sex when you're in middle school or high school. this guy is indeed just giving people a space and opportunity.

I loved the part about clubs for middle aged and elderly people! Seriously, I think that is a great concept ( I would go to a such club myself:)) If you are not that young so life is over? With age, majority people just let themselves go - mentally and physically, and that is really a depressing part. As to the video, I agree that values changes with every generation, but “ prophesy” of this video is away exaggerated.

[@Nicolekennsy]

My mom is 56 and goes out more than me! Nothing is wrong with dancing and staying young. Also, shout out to the photographer. His energy is everything!

[@arooma6883]

This doesn't only happen and happens in South Korea, its happening every where in the world whether its South Asia, Europe or America. Every single person and organization should work together on this issue. Because its not only on the offices, shops or streets its a hell trafficking world.

[@luisatorres898]

"We've had to get our fixer Sydney to be the bride. Don't know how she feels about that, but she hasn't got a choice" WTF really?!?!! She doesn't have a choice and you're not going to ask how she feels about it??? She's being a lovely model for you while you make comments about how weird all this is. Seriously this attitude and disrespect is ruining the experience of learning about a different culture.

[@telamere2043]

When I visited South Korea in 2000 i was told the most common reason for going into prostitution was divorce. Women need their families support to get the huge down payment on somewhere to live ( you pay a lump sum before you move in) and they are often abandoned for getting a divorce. They would turn to loan sharks to get the money and become prostitutes if they couldn't pay it back. I have no idea how things have changed but wonder if divorce has become more common in older people?

[@leigh5397]

i want to be best friends with that photographer

[@perfectstudents8361]

8:06 Some owners of the cheap love motels often install hidden cameras, and sell the video footage to the porn industry. They make money from the rentals and the videos.
