The Story Of The Samsung Princess & The Bodyguard | Stephanie Soo Reaction

"i thought it was gonna be someone from my demon" 😭😭😭

[@taebytae1]

Many individuals confuse arranged marriage with forced marriage, which refers to two very distinct occurrences. Many cultures practice arranged marriages, which may involve a family member introducing the pair. Every moment, each person has a choice, and a marriage may only progress with both parties' complete agreement. A forced marriage happens when someone is expected to marry against their will or feels compelled to do so. My parents went through an arranged marriage and have been married for 17 years. My mother was fed up with dating culture at the time, so she asked my grandma to find her someone, and it took a few blind dates before my father showed up. Usually you would have at least 1-2 month to get introduced to each other and get to know each other through dates and who knows you may catch feelings.

[@jojoahmd123]

Exactly..most of the Eastern cultures practice that as well

[@mehreenn]

Exactly, often I hear from people that their arranged marriage was literally the best thing that happened to them. Way too many people confuse forced and arranged.

@@jojoahmd123 i think most of the asian cultures be like that even south asia southeast asia its all the same

[@iffatbushrasuhi2860]

You're so right!! In my South-Asian homeland, the concept of an arranged marriage is nuanced and distinct from the stereotypical portrayals often seen in Western narratives. It is a tradition that is deeply rooted in cultural values and family honor, yet it is practiced with a modern sensibility that respects individual choice and personal happiness. Unlike the misconceptions that might suggest financial transactions or coercion, the process is one of mutual consent and careful consideration. For the young adults in our society, the path to marriage can unfold in two primary ways. The first is through a love marriage, where the individual has already found a partner with whom they have developed a romantic connection. In such cases, the parents typically embrace their child's choice, supporting their decision to marry for love. The second path is the arranged marriage, which is pursued when a young person has not yet found a partner on their own. In the context of an arranged marriage, the role of the parents is pivotal yet respectful. They initiate the process by suggesting potential matches, often individuals from similar backgrounds or with shared values. However, the decision to meet these prospects rests entirely with their child. If the young person agrees, they embark on a series of meetings and dates, akin to a courtship, where they have the opportunity to explore compatibility and build a connection. These encounters are not hurried; they allow both parties to delve into each other's personalities, aspirations, and lifestyles. It is a period of discovery, where they assess whether they can envision a future together. If the stars align and a genuine bond is formed, the couple communicates their desire to marry to their respective families. The parents then collaborate to formalize the union, ensuring that the wedding is a celebration of the new family being formed. Conversely, if the initial meetings do not spark a connection or if fundamental differences emerge, the couple amicably decides to part ways. There is no obligation to proceed; the ultimate goal is a harmonious and enduring partnership, not a forced alliance. Through my own experiences and observations, I have witnessed the diverse outcomes of both love and arranged marriages. Some love marriages, despite their passionate beginnings, have faltered and ended in messy divorces. In contrast, I have seen arranged marriages that have flourished into lifelong companionships, standing the test of time. Ultimately, the success of any marriage, whether it begins in love or is arranged by caring hands, hinges on the willingness of both partners to invest in the relationship. It is about the commitment to work through challenges, the ability to grow together, and the presence of a partner who is not just right, but also good-someone who brings out the best in their spouse and fosters a loving and supportive partnership.

the whole samsung hammer thing caught me off guard that i had to look it up,, SAMSUNG HAS A FCKN MILITARY TANK (it's called k9 thunder samsung if anyone wants to look it up)

[@kenyajackson656]

I was in an arranged marriage. When I was 17, I was introduced to a man 3 years older than me. Being from a very small country town in Canada, I had never seen him before, and I knew everyone. Fast forward, I found myself at my wedding 9 months later, and my mother told me that the two families knew each other well, and they felt that he would be a good match for me. I looked back and thought how quickly all this happened. She knew he could protect me and provide for me, so there it was. I grew up very sheltered, and my parents wanted to ensure I would be okay. Needless to say, 1 child and three years later, we divorced. After that, I had no desire to marry again, and I'm now 51.

In Spanish we call it chisme instead of Drama and I am LIVING for the chisme 😂😂😂 don’t worry we can be chismosos (equivalent of messy/ drama) together! Please do more of these messy videos I live for free chisme from the internet that lives rent free in my head 😂😂🎉🎉

[@norviolet108]

This is one of my favorite videos of Stephanie, she's a great story teller, even the more "drama/chisme" videos are always so compelling and she knows how to hook her audience, I like her a lot. Also something else, when they were divorcing and he appeals and then tries to sue her is cause apparently in South Korea divorce is not like in the west when one party files for divorce and the other party has no option but to begin the process, over there, both parties have to agree to proceed with the divorce, specially if the woman is the one filing, I follow a korean youtuber that lives in mexico (my country) and she talked about the situation of her older sister who filed for divorce because her sister's husband was abusive, physically and emotionally, but even though she filed for divorce due to this, the law requested her to get the "approval" of her husband as well, and because the youtuber is doing numbers in Mexico and he knows it he wanted to get paid a ridiculous amount of money so he would agree to the divorce, the youtuber ended up agreeing and paying the man so he would let her sister go, it was really heartbreaking to see but glad the sister is now free from him. AND even after that, because South Korea is really against divorce, cause idk, the sister shared how her friends instead of being happy for her now that she's no longer in an abusive relationship, they would ask her "what is she going to do" now that she's divorced? cause no man wants a divorced woman, and society won't look at her the same, like... bro... but anyway, I would love to see more reactions to these type of videos of Stephanie, even though I watch her content religiously on my own, there's something nice about re-watching it with you, it's like showing a friend a crazy video I watched lol

[@voidsvlk]

my parents were in an arranged marriage and for a while, their marriage was rocky. they fought a lot in the beginning but they learned to love each other! my mom was that shy girl who never had a boyfriend, never really looked at guys. my dad was the exact opposite. sometimes i wonder how they made it work but im glad they did

[@victoriagonzaga6715]

lol @ you trying to defend him then being like “wait no never mind”

[@katykatmasters9707]

I personally like when you react to Stephanie’s more lighthearted content.

I haven’t even finished the video but I hope that you react more to these types of videos from Stephanie! Love your rotten mango reactions but listening to “tea” together (is that weird?😂😂) feels like we are hanging out!

Living comfortably in a two story comfy house w/ 6 million could totally last you till your 3rd gen if you managing your money right. Yes things are expensive, but if you just throw it all away yeah it'll let you stay for yourself.

[@scorpiongurlz89]

I think he meant the inflation rate. Look at how pricey today is compare to our parents times, now imagine the price in the time of our future children. Only you can live a comfortable life, your children definitely need to work. Unless, of course if you somehow invest that money and manage to multiply that money.

[@bloomhug]

Thank you! I was going to say that too

[@noshintasnim3205]

Seb, arranged marriage and forced marriage is different. Arranged marriage is very common is SouthEast Asia. But it's very common in other places too. In a normal arranged marriage what happens is that, each side of the family get all the info of the other family. For example, if I(woman) want to get married and am having an arranged marriage, my family is gonna check, that man's education(school+college+university), his jobs and career life so far, how much he makes, his father's degrees, or business if that's what they have, if his father's character is okay or not, same for his uncles of both side, his maternal and paternal, but mostly paternal, the same about his aunt's and a lot about his aunt's husband. His siblings, his grandfather, is not gonna be left out by any means. Then we will go and ask about this certain family to their neighbors, have private unannounced talks with their helping hand/part-time helping hand and driver(if they have any). Cause these people are the ones who hear and see how is everyone in that family. And usually each family has links, as in people who know the family and ask about that family and get as much info as possible. Before all of this, it's mainly a match maker kinda person, can be a man or women, carries photos and basic info about people who want to get married. So when a family sees someone they like interms of looks and basic info, ALL of THESE LAYERS UPON LAYERS OF INVESTIGATION is carried out. And finally the marriage happens.

[@ryliemohrdieck3322]

Loving these reactions and good on you for taking care of yourself. Stephanie has plenty of good non murdery stuff including her two other chanels so don't feel pressured to react to the darker stuff all the time.

[@shawol5253]

​@@UNCCCollegeGirlStephanie sometimes is too girl boss mode with other girls. I forgot which video but recently she wanted to side with the girl in a situation just because she's a girl, turns out the girl's perspective couldn't really be defended no matter how hard you try. Modern America is too much "i don't need a man". There's nothing wrong with focusing on your career, before and during a relationship. But also appreciate your partner (of course if it's a good relationship). She's married too and a girl boss, you can definitely be both without the girl boss attitude

[@szeshinggf4976]

6 million is actually a lot. Western countries are more affected by the cost of living crisis. Ofc in Asia it's gotten worse after covid but it's not that bad 6 million dollars in my country (and a lot of Asian countries), it's definitely enough money for your next gen to not work. Maybe even your grandkids. It's really A LOT of money

[@0remy0]

6:24 I'm the daughter of an arranged marriage couple, My father was 33 and my mom was 17 (😳) quite alarming I know lmao but it was not that bad I swear, My father didn't know who my mom was or how old she was until the engagement day, My grandma chose her and he refused at first but she convinced him He fortunately was a mature individual and treated her right, helped her with school along with my aunts...etc cuz I know some who lived a hellish life with 40 yo children husbands

My mom’s friend was put into an arranged marriage by her parents, but it’s been 20 years and her and her husband have 4 children and they love each other dearly so it’s possible for an arranged marriage to work

[@GreenBlue8840]

It's always better to have a career before you have a marriage.

[@reeja8961]

6:16 yes. My parents had an arranged marriage. They do fight nearly every day but make up really quick. And have been married for 22 years. My dad's both brothers also had arranged marriages, they've also been happily married for like 20+ years. My mom's sister and brother also were arranged, they've also worked with their partners. I mean. People in the past mostly were arranged. In some families, love marriage was not even accepted. Now, people are a little open-minded. We can't have boyfriends till we are in college but they be asking "Have you seen a guy for marriage? Or should I search one for you?". Like, mother you never let me befriend a guy and now suddenly you're asking me this?! 😭 Just a few days ago our family was out for a movie and my dad was not there but my mom, brother, aunt and grandma were. And my friend from high school came up, shaking my hand. We shared a few words like "Came for the movie?" "Yeah, and you?" "To look for shoes." "Ok, have a good look." That it! And my mom kept on smiling and telling people around, asking me who he was. Like, he was just a friend. And she was like "He just came out of nowhere. It was a bit surprising. You know?" That just showed I never hang out with guys. Or a few guy friends I have, my mom knows them. They're neighbours. I'm 20 btw.

[@Shanaznctzen]

My mom and dad also had arrange marriage like in the late 90s when my mom was like 18/19 imo my mom and dad are quite good w each other but I'll never do such a marriage without any affection such matrimonial marriages are bullshit imo

As a Korean, the story is based on considerable misinformation. She was not beaten up by her husband. It turned out to be rumors and false. Stephanie has produced several times based on rumors about events in Asia. She recently provided quite the wrong information, so she took down the video and even posted an apology.
