One thing I realized about foreigners who live in Korea or else where live in a tiny bubble. Seoul Busan and Jeju is all they know. My mom lived in America for 40+ years but knows nothing about America or English because she never left ktown LA. I guess this is similar.. it's all about mindset.

Some people in these interviews (in this video it's the African lady) keep making the same mistake: confusing big city life with Korean culture. They compare their experience in Seoul with their own less urban background back home and think people in Korea (so in Seoul) are colder, more career and money focused, etc, but those are rather typical things for any big city anywhere in the world. While when going to smaller communities in more rural areas you'd see the same as anywhere in the world as well: everyone knowing everyone, greeting each other etc.

The Chinese Canadian guy’s perspective is spot on.

I'm a Tanzanian, I've lived in Japan for 2 years, and I've moved to Korea for 4 years. As a foreigner, it's really hard to fully blend into Korean society.
Japan is very persistent in trying to create a wall with foreigners, and for the Japanese, foreigners will be foreigners forever.
Korea is a more materialistic society. After all, both countries have homogeneous races and are not easily accepted as natural Koreans. You cannot expect anything like living in the United States or Canada, where there are mixed races.
What is certain, however, is that the situation has changed a lot from four years ago when I came to Korea. Although Korea does not welcome all foreigners who want to live in Korea, if I compare it to Japan, in my experience, Korea appears to be more foreign-friendly and is not a society that relentlessly pushes out foreigners.
It is also certain that the number of foreigners coming to Korea continues to increase, and that the awareness of international marriages among Koreans is also improving. However, making friends is still difficult, and it may take quite some time to be recognized as a natural Korean.

I'm a Korean-American, and I've been here in Seoul at least +20 years. And I agree with the Chinese-Canadian man, especially in his last interview. Kudos!

Hey K Explorer Who Braids Your Hair In Korea?

[jyoon]

The Canadian Hong Kong guy seems to have the best understanding. Perhaps because he has lived there a long time and is from HK so he can blend in easier in a group setting where he won't stand out like a white or black person so he can quietly observe things that other nationalities can not.

I'm such an introvert, and american and don't need small talk, lol as well as the spacial awareness thing doesn't bother me. I think I would thrive over there (As long as I have money lol)

"No, bro. If you keep interviewing only individuals from developed European and American countries, you're missing the real experiences of foreigners living in Korea. These groups often receive preferential treatment compared to others from developing countries who may not conform to certain beauty standards, or who come from countries whose passports are less valued in Korea. Consider interviewing people from Latin America who don't fit these beauty standards, or Filipinos working in factories, and Indonesians. Their perspectives will give a more accurate picture of the foreigner experience in Korea and immigration, which is quite different from what those holding a more appealing passport might encounter. Even less YouTubers cuz they don't know a sheeeeite

[birdflax]

They put way too much focus on human interaction. The one thing that no one talked about was nature. If people actually go enjoy the beautiful things about a country, they will absolutely have great things to talk about. The biggest mistake is focusing on people too much. Social life is just one part of life and to be honest, if you have a great relationship with nature and love to go to different places and see different things, then it doesn't even matter if the social life is good or bad. You won't even have an opinion about social life because you're so much in love with all the natural sites to see.
