What's Your Biggest Culture Shock in South Korea?

[@anosaaaa]

If some Koreans talk to you, they might just want to greet global people in English. When I was a child, I said to someone 'Hello', and then the man smiled for me. It was a very good memory to me :)

[@OhVictoria]

I really love how kind and understanding you are of everyone’s personal experience and point of view.

[@sandyfeet8175]

Loved this. As a Brit, it is so interesting to hear other European’s experiences in Korea. I love your format, you get straight to the questions and your questions are interesting. Often a lot of these interviews are filled with fillers, but you get straight to it. Great job 🙌🏻🇬🇧

I experienced both in France and Korea where random people help me with my big luggage.

I dont even have a chance to say thank you..coz he gone in a blink of eye. And it is sooo trueee that there are so many lovey dovey couple in korea. I went to see the cherry blossom with my sister and friends. Couples are everywhere and we started to joke with each other saying 'why do i even go to this place with you girls'. Never felt sooo single in my life hahahahahaja.

It’s so interesting to think about what people perceive as normal or not. Because in America my current semester tuition at a public university is almost $10,000 with scholarships so 5,000 to me is quite cheap but compared to the girl from France I see how it can be different. In America things tend to vary independently by state almost. So sometimes things are accessible while in other places they aren’t

2:36 / 2:53 I’m so surprised by her response. I’ve always heard the opposite where there’s hardly ever pda or affection (skinship) in public in Korea, but I guess I was wrong! I live in the USA, so there’s lots and lots of couples and friends walking in groups in public and constantly touching each other, interlocking arms or hands in public and more but I’ve always heard that’s the opposite in Korea, now I know that it’s not true, wow. Thanks for the video Jin 🙏

Some couples are still ashamed of their public skinship, while others are not. It's case by case, and the atmosphere in Korean society changes quickly.. I think Not only the couple culture, everything changes quickly..;

5k USD for tuition for one semester? Sounds cheap to me. It’s around that much for one semester at a cheap community college here in the US.

[@tanyatatuha4559]

I think the US has a higher average salary than Korea, so it will be cheap for you in Korea. It will be as expensive for a local resident as it is for you to study in the US. For Ukraine, where I live, the average salary is 500 dollars per month, and paid tuition at a university is about 1,000-1,600 dollars per year (for Ukrainians who pass state exams well, there are grants from the state), for foreigners, paid tuition is somewhat more expensive, but not much. Before the war, many students from India, African countries, and the Middle East came to us and chose technical and medical universities.

I lived in Korea for a bit, so in broad strokes there are two types of 'foreigners' those that integrate (learn the language, try to meet friends, not fck buddies) then there are those who lived in Korea for many years but can't even speak the language except for a few phrases. I found out the latter likes to complain, blame things on racism etc. Overall pretty chill country, not perfect but better than most i've been to.

[@user-bn8tk4md6b]

No she means that typically you would date someone a few times and get to know them before becoming "exclusive" and "in a relationship." But it's very different in Korea because there is no "dating" phase. You become exclusive bf/gf first and then get to know each other. Thats why you can hear people saying here that there are so many couples in Korea... and generally relationships don't last long just because to them a "relationship" isn't necessarily deciding to commit long term but deciding they like each other and want to go on a few dates and see what's up

I agree the acceptance that foreigners seek from Korea is naive. It's a mix of self entitlement for some.

I am a Jamaican living in Germany and I must and do accept the fact that I am seen as a foreigner. I think it is stupid for the Europeans to want that which isn't true for even themselves. It's diffrent in Jamaica because of the size of the island and the fact that the island was shared with two different race and culture before it was colonised first by the Spanish the the English. The English had brought people of different races and culture and all placed them there and some how they accepted the fact it is better to get along than to fight. They inter-married and shared their cultures over hundreds of years. And even though the greater numbers are of African desendance they themselves were from different countries in Africa spoke different languages and had different appearance. They had one thing in common and that is they will not be enslaved to the British. The others that weren't from Africa also shared this opinion but the Africans were the ones who fought because they were treated poorly. This common goal united the cultures and this is true " should you ever visit Jamaica no one would look twice ". It's more likely they would think you're Chinese because we have a lot of Chinese living there. First when you speak and the accent is out you will be welcomed. Everywhere you have nice and not so nice people, I think it's the same in Korea or anywhere else.

I remember we had Ikebana classes and we’re told to place a little towel under the scissors so that you won’t disturb the person next to you with the noise. And we learned ( At least few of us. i said few of us because things took a bad turn) to value even the little things in life . Besides, i can't have vaccines when I was a baby , my doctor advised my mother to not let them vaccinate me due to my medical histoy. so when i was 14, my mom spoke of a trip to Japan and that people that wore face masks. so starting wearing it. and since then it's been my only protection. of course because of that i faced prejudice here in the West. Well, it’s 2022 now and nobody is laughing now well, few still do but most don’t laugh anymore at me.

Cries in £40500/yr tuition fee in the uk💀🫠

[@ezhwt8fq]

but how do you guys pay for it? did you take out a loan?

[@Kyriostang]

Why the hell is it so expensive there? Is it the same amount for all universities, or is it just expensive for the top tier ones?

[@asiyekeskin3421]

The thing that bothers me the most is people spitting on the streets very comfortably. This is reallly disrespectful to the other people.

[@traleegirl]

Water 6 euros.. 😱... Are there no British in Korea..Maybe because we are an Island. We are not in the bulk of Europe so could be the travelling so far away.. We are really laid back and our schools are short on discipline. There are no strict rules.. We just get on with it. Another great video..

[@lilkirsche]

A bottle costs around 3-3,5 euros in restaurants. 6 Euros maybe for a noble restaurant 😂

[@krasnaludek298]

@5:02 why do they keep referencing Germany? Maybe they lived there for a short time or student Visa.

[@tasiamcdade4635]

Tuition is 4 to 5000 I want to study for that much US schools cost more😭.

Is it ok people with brown skin visit Korea for holiday?If so what place is good?

[@beyondimagination832]

Healthy competition is good but I do not like the way Korean society works. Not all people or students have same mental & physical capacity to take the pressure of competition. But they contribute to society. But in SK they are considered as failure. No society can be 100% competitive. God does not create humans to study, work, etc. at 100% capacity for long hours in a day. In the long run society will collectively fail. Perhaps this may be one reason why suicide rate in Korea is so high. Also school bullying is abnormally high. People always remain busy with themselves, in office, etc. that they have little or no time left for kids. May be that is one of the reason why birth rate is so low. Thus, in the long run, what's the future of Korean society? It may become a society for old people & controlled by young generation who are mostly from foreign origins. Scary situation....

[@VICTORIA-M-A]

Yeah and they love to take toooooo much attention to how they look ,,,allllllll the time.. wearing Chanel,Prada,Louie Vuitton will boost their status. Here in France usually THE RICHEST PEOPLE ARE THE MOST DISCREET AND SIMPLE PEOPLE .

[@Devi_Seona]

She said that in Germany people can date several people at once it’s normal?! 😮 it’s not like that in France at all.

[@kate_wn]

No it’s not normal here

[@lilkirsche]

She talked generalized bullshit. 😂Just because she does it, doesn't make it normal here. It's unusual in Germany.

[@dorkanderson4963]

People will intentionally plow into you with their cars when you have the right of way.

[@suvithak6166]

That indian girl said right. In india men's wouldn't give that much preference for their appearance. But korean men's are not like that. They are quite obsessed with their appearance. It's good but sometimes it seems like weird to other country people . I am not here to blame anybody . Compare to india korea is more expensive to study but korean government gives quality education. Whatever I wish to visit korea once.

[@hskskneksms3506]

But in everything thing u see beauty is not good... Any job you have to see talent but not at all beauty but they are too much obsessed..... In india women also don't prefer make up..... Because we think natural beauty is the best beauty...... I don't do makeup...I hardly do 3-4 times in my whole life...... To look beautify u don't have to do plastic surgery...... But it's good if u admit that u r beautiful as u r...... Why these make all the time......society have to accept these thing....

When you skin care become an obsession that is very dangerous

[@pandamilkshake]

I'm sorry but "in Europe" you do not date around with different people. Maybe where she comes from but it's not the norm everywhere, not at all.
