Reality Of Living In Korea as a Foreigner

[giovannitrumando]

People are really accepting here... especially if your white, very pale, tall, blu-eyed, blond haired

[seandre]

I would like to see a comparison between the treatment of White foreigners vs Asian foreigners.

[mariem]

“People are accepting here”
No, it’s because you’re white, blonde and from Europe. Don’t mean to be harsh, but it is what it is🤷‍♀️

I love how well-put-together she looks. As someone who struggles with a depressive episode, it's very refreshing to see.

[hoome]

Am I the only one who thought the host was going to start singing in the beginning? 🤣🤣

[sliceout]

I don’t like the condescending way people make her look. Colourism exists in Korea that is absolutely true. But I don’t think she is supporting it by living there. If it works for her why not? After all it’s not her fault the culture is like that. People need to mind their business and let others live their life.

It’s because she’s blonde and pale
If you were coloured I don’t think people would be accepting

[anonymousperson]

I thought he started singing at the beginning

As many others have mentioned in the comments, she’s accepted with open arms because she fits the beauty standard. I’ve been here 4 years now, and I’m Sicilian. Im not the regular white person, I’m slightly beige. And Guess what? Im invisible here 🥲

He mentioned the humid wet summers but not the Korean winters. Unless you are from central/eastern Europe, Central Asia, Canada or the coldest parts of the US/China, you will find Korea bitterly cold in the winter. Thought UK winters are cold? You ain’t seen nothing. Winter can see many days where it doesn’t go above freezing temperatures even during the day, and some days can go as low as -18C/-0.4F.

Yet for some reason many people I’ve met who have never been to S Korea think it is hot all year round. It’s not in Southeast Asia guys 😂

Funny that a lot of people making comments about her race but probably don't think of themselves as racist.
Either way, unless things have radically changed, a lot of foreigners say that no matter what you look like, you can be acknowledged by never truly accepted, because you aren't Korean. I don't think that's everybody, but it's likely a good majority.

[ftheworld]

racism and racist peoples exists everywhere in this world. Anywhere in this world you go, You'll be gonna find 3 major completely different types of groups of peoples.

1. The peoples who are racist

2. The peoples who just don't give a fuck to you and your existence there. They just don't like you that's why they just completely ignore you and your existence there. And It's very good for everyone.

3. The peoples who are good to everyone regardless of where are they actually from.
If you can perfectly blend yourself among their culture and everything than they're gonna be very good with you. They're gonna be like you but you always have to remember it that they're gonna like you always as a foreigner to them.

I was living in Texas, when I was living there I had seen a lots of racism there and a racist around me. because the majority of population of there are the white peoples. So, most of them can't just accept you from their heart. Beacuse you look completely different from all the other peoples who lives there.

So, you can't just call a whole population of a country that they are all racist. Because in reality all of them aren't racist. A lots of them can be racist and also A lots of them aren't racist at all.

So, Racism and racist peoples exists in all over the world. In every society of every city/town of every state of every country of every continent, racism and racist exits.

So, you just have to keep yourself in a distance from them as much as you can. And you have to choose people wishly very very very very very very wishly.

And Another thing you have to always remember that being alone without anyone or any friends is a lot lot better than being with someone who just claim themselves as a friends of you for their own profits or to destroy you completely or for both of thses reasons.

So, just live wishly.

[ArabTheMan]

That's true, every time i see a white person in my country i can't stop staring lol cause it makes me curious.

[christosioannou]

Europe has fallen because we got really mixed up and cultures we lost our dignity and race, minds also our culture adapting others

[Cereschr]

My hair and my skin color are definitely an inky amber brown, i think i will not fit in beauty standards 😂
I dont know what to expect

[SolidStrike]

“It’s a mix of everything”
You could not be further from the truth. What you’re describing is definitely not Korea, which is a good thing.

[candygirlygamer]

People are like Asians get stared at in Europe

Well idk about you but I don't get stared at that much

Maybe they have some thing against chinese

[utxfsvm]

한국에 대해 이렇다 저렇다 외국인들이 평가하고 기분 나쁘다고 하는 거 진심 지겹고 짜증난다

[AEChronicler]

People will stare because of a nuance in their environment that is not absolutely common to them. Tell me you won't stare at a black dot on a blank, white canvas or the other way around. It's simply observation and no more, unless subjectively stated otherwise by a group or an individual.
