I like how you always stop people from a wide spectrum of life....and that you always dig a little deeper, and ask them to further explain themselves, so as to fully clarify their perspectives.

Great interviews

It amazes me that someone can become so fluent in 3 years but when you're total immersed in a language it probably is much easier to do.

I have lived in US for 30 years. People still ask me whether I am from North or South Korea. Even in US, the racial discrimination exists. 😂 Foreigners li ve in any country without fluent language treated differently.

It’s always surprising to hear people say you should learn Korean. Isn’t that a given when you’re going to live and work in any country?

People complain before leaning about the culture and the language of that country. If you are going to live in a country, adopting the culture and leaning the language should be the first thing.

I have lived and worked in South Korea for a year and a half as a contractor for the US Military. Maybe it's because the towns I work in are near a base and Seoul is a very modern city but I don't seem to have the problem of people staring because they are so used to foreigners. As far as learning the language my Korean is still mediocre but I can read the alphabet and know enough to get by and whatever I don't know I use Papago for translating. 9 times out of 10 Korean people are very understanding and a lot of them do understand some English with a great number also being pretty fluent. All the road signs are written in Hangeul as well as English. The subway also has the stops written in Hangeul and English and the announcement for the stop is first said in Korean and then in English so navigation has been super easy especially with NaverMaps. When I go out Koreans will often come up to me and ask me where I'm from and then will proceed to invite me to come to party with them. Overall I have found it to be a very friendly and accepting place and if I ever get bored I can go onto any of the US Military bases in the country and it's like being back in America. My situation is different as I am under SOFA status and do not have to worry about VISA renewals and am not limited to how long I can stay in country.

I’ve watched your interviews on and off and just started diving into them more as a way to learn a little bit more through people you’re finding out and around. I really enjoy it. It’s very comforting these days

Jin's videos are amazing. It is helping people who want to go to Korea.

Thank you Italian girl for speaking about Korean government not recognizing vaccines when vaccinated abroad ! I was there at that time and that was awful !

클럽이나 업소에서 외국인출입금지 시키는건 차별이 아닙니다 그만큼 외국인들이 사고를 많이치니깐 외국인 출입금지를 시키는겁니다 많은 외국인들이 한국이 안전하다고하죠? 그러나 중국인들이 많이 사는동네는 각종 사건사고가 많이 일어납니다 첨부터 출입금지를 시킨게 아닙니다 각종 마약을 하는 외국인들 사고치는 외국인들이 기하급수적으로 늘어나니 방지하고자 제한걸어둔겁니다

I always feel that I am treated as a foreigner, regardless of whether Asians immigrate to Europe or the United States or study abroad. I mean, you're not the only one. Asians are told to return to your country even though they were born in the United States.

[mardiahamirah]

Your videos helped me in understanding South Korea, socially. Thank you so much. :)

Traveling to both Korea and Japan I found both countries polar opposites.
Japan: they love you when you visit the country as a traveler; however, if you show intentions of staying and living there, they become cold and judgemental.
In Korea: If you are a traveler and don't know the language, they just keep wary of you; however, if you actually speak and learn the language and customs showing that you respect their culture and want be part of it they love you.

Oh my that lady from Ukraine is not only fluent but even her accent is incredible .

[trekpac]

I have found Korea to be a wonderful country and people in many ways. But it could put some special effort to integrate foreigners into its society. Let’s go on that one and help Korea succeed!

And for foreigners, learn Korean. It is a lovely language.

I'm a Indian and living in Seoul, South Korea for 10+ years more now, I did my PhD and working here, I got my Korean citizenship too and has 7 houses here, from India(South side) I actually don't see more different, but the government here is very good, healthy and helpful, I will be always grateful to South Korea, came here with nothing as student and now I'm a professor, learning Korean language is important yes and education system is best and expect more, I'm not a more extrovert kind so I don't go clubbing and all so it was kinda yes ok for me, but SK has a more beautiful nature filled places with mini small mountains for hiking and I just simply love going there to see sunset and sunrise 💫💫

2:55 영어권 사람들의 제일 짜증나는 점. 어느 나라를가서 그 나라 언어를 못하면 사람들 만나고 가까워지기 어렵고 사회 구성원 되기 힘든건 어느 나라를가던 마찬가지임 한국에 와서 매번 한국문화나 한국어 가까워지려고 하지도 않고 매번 영어로 이야기하고 영어하는 친구들만 사귀고 자기나라식으로만 살고 진짜 찐 로컬 한국인들이랑 얘기도 안통하니 친해질수도 없고 나는 대학을 여기로 온 유럽 친구들도 있는데 걔네는 한국와서 한국 또래 애들이랑 어울려서 술이랑 걔네가가는 곳들 놀러다니고 좋아하는 음악 듣고 걔네가 쓰는말 같이 쓰고 이러고 가서 지금 한국 꼭 다시 오려고하고 한국에서의 기억이 너무 좋았다고함 이건 어느 나라를가던 마찬가지임 중국인이나 미국인들은 어딜가나 자기 나라 말만하고 자기나라 식으로 사는데 이것만 고쳐도 충분히 잘 살수 있음

I was having a similar experience when I was in China, hard to find a job for foreigners especially if the company doesn't wanna deal with paper works, etc. also afraid that I cannot communicate well with the rest of the team members. Also the same as well about the club, there are some clubs that are dedicated only to locals.

The girl from Ukraine, wow, so smart, intelligent, very nice . Korea should promote these people who willing to be part of the community. Help them with 100 percent because deserve it. Korean government and society have no idea how useful these foreign people. To learn Korean language is a big commitment. Other things, if a korean person comes to my country (Hungary) Will get a lot of support from the locals and gov. If truly wants integrate tó society, especialy knowing our language. We Keep Korea alive buying Kia, Hyundai etc. So foreigners do a lot of help, they deserve the same approach. I am a Davinci korean paraglider dealer. I am going to visit also one day, for travelling, experiencing the rich and modern, old korean culture.
