5 Things I Hate About Living in South Korea

Hey Gorgeous Girlies🌻

In this video I discuss 5 things that I hate the most about living as a foreigner and English Teacher in South Korea. From gay rights, to every day life over here in South Korea, there are numerous things that I dislike. However, in this video I talk about trivial things that have been quite a culture shock to me when I moved to South Korea.

For those of you that are new here:
Hello! My name is Alex and I'm currently an English Teacher at 2 elementary schools in Daegu, South Korea, as part of EPIK. I'm originally from Manchester, UK, and have made this channel to capture my life in South Korea and provide insight in to the EPIK process!

As always, if you have any question regarding life in South Korea, EPIK, or even myself - don't hesitate to ask me a question on Instagram or via email.

Thanks for watching!

Have a fantastic day :)

“My name’s Alex and I’m a hateful person” PHAT mood only 2 seconds in 🤣🤣 great video as always! I think the lack of personal space culture is something I’ll struggle with because after 3 years at Tesco in a pandemic, I value it so much 😫

Thanks for this video. I'm an introvert and suffer from anxiety so no personal space would drive me insane. I'm crossing them off my expat journey list. Thanks 🙏

I agree on the vulnerability fact. I teach Vietnamese people and I try my best to teach them that it's okay not to be okay and that there are words that exist to express that. Love your content.

That beginning though! Plot twist of the century 😂 I just got my drivers permit this morning, ready for Feb 2023, but seems like I may be avoiding the roads after all 🤣

I love your energy!!! Thank you for the heads up! I’m moving to Daegu in February and I’m definitely not looking forward to the personal space issue in S.K. (especially bc it’s not acceptable to call someone out) lmfao I need my bubble girly

Hi Alex. How did you learn Korean before going there (if you did 😂)?
