The guy from north carolina still keeps his strong southern accent going even when living in korea for 14 years... creds to him

[AndorranStairway]

I really like how Asian Boss is going back to its old roots. Not that the big pieces were a bad thing, but casual street interviews are a breath of fresh air

[CBMedia]

The dude from North Carolina with the southern accent is back again?! This dude has to be trolling LOL

[river]

That man was like "damn the back of her head is FINE" lmao

[PumpkinMozie]

“In korea open-minded means DTF” yes that is so true

[derpshappiness]

[valenciabarrientos]

"I need you to be her size"

The black girl said right on spot the worst experience I had when were dating a Korean guy for the first time. He asked me so many rude, sexual-harassed like questions and when I showed the offended face he like :" All Westerners are so open-minded and familiar with this kind of things, Ain't they". That was just horrible. Westerners is very open-minded for cultures, but we aren't vulgar to the point all talking about dirty things. That's the worst stereotype!

I think Americans aren't looked at as seriously because Koreans think it's only temporary (they aren't living there permanently, even with visas). And the stereotypes go both ways, their ideas of what an American is, is the same as an American who travels and wants to date because of K-dramas. Korea is still very much an homogeneous country, so most of their ideas on foreigners in general comes from media.

Of all the foreigners dating stories in Korea black women always have the wildest experiences 😭😭

[gaurav.]

Look I don't know about Korea but what the girl(the one with the black mask and open hair) said it's actually true here in India. Usually the media or the movies only depict American women as wild and crazy, It has actually become a stereotype about them. If you would ask people on the streets of India, most of them would say that they expect American women to be crazy and moody.

The girl in the burgundy mask gave me life

[FinancialShinanigan]

To go further, should talk to mixed families living in Korea.
I'm Korean, married to a Puerto Rican, and let me tell you all the annoying stares I got from people in the subways when we were dating.

[Zeeye]

I love the girl with the purple facemask! She’s fantastic

[Dudaflimaa]

10:17 ok, that girl experience really got me shocked. how do people like this even exists? But i loved how she reacted to it tho! You go girl, block those creeps right away!

[Justbleed]

Open minded in korea means DTF? If someone in the Philippines asks you if you're open minded, you can be 90% sure it's a sales pitch for multilevel networking.

[seoulsister]

19:50 homegirl is spitting FACTS. Don’t be afraid to date outside of your own culture b/c it just might help you grow as a person

[cedesley]

The women’s story at 9:10 and 11:30 are just something else...SMDH 🤦🏾‍♀️ the AUDACITY is too real for me!

[lynef]

Korea is a completely different country from the US, so even if Kdramas portray it in an ideal way, don't forget their mentality and culture WILL cause a shock, just like any other Eastern culture would.
Now knowing that, go ahead and buy your plane ticket. The food's too good to be missing out on😌

[cedesley]

OMG the girl in the purple mask is back! I loved her in the other dating video 😊💜 Her personality is just so awesome!
