That can be confusing for me, because usually adults have more experience than children, so, would it feel right if a child gave advice to an adult? Been thinking about this for some time now.
In Korean, the whole age thing doesn't apply too much with a one year age gap. Maybe not even a two year. Once the gap grows, much more boundaries of respect are put in place. You're not expected to respect elders simply for their wisdom, though that is a factor, but also simply the fact that they have been alive much longer than you and would thus have experienced much more than you. No matter how intelligent someone may be, you cannot deny that the older someone may be, the more they have likely experienced

Hi! I'm an artist here and it is all about bone structure. Asian skulls are typically shorter but broader in the face while European skulls are typically longer but narrower in the face and have a more prominent eyebrow bone and cheek bones making the face look "small" compared to some Asian skulls. But because not everyone is 100% pure any race, genes can cause skull shape to differ in some people.
Because you've probably saw korean celebrities. Normal asians tends to have wider cheekbones which makes their face big. That's why cheeckbone reduction surgery is a big thing in Korea.
I hate that age thing. Just because you're older than me, it doesn't mean you have the audacity to be authoritative. You just treat people like slave and take advantage of them.
Sadly we asians get oppressed by this age thing! If someone swears at me for example in my family who is older than me and I clap back they would kill me! I am not allowed to say anything since i am younger...
Yeah I really hate it since age does not equal intelligence, maturity, or knowledge. They were born earlier, so that means they’re better? It makes no sense.
The one nice thing is they buy you the meals. I knew there was a thing where you try to pay for the meal in a sometimes playful fighting way, but didn't realize it till recently thr older person buys the meal, which is awesome, I'm usually the one paying..and I love to eat out haha!

even as a western girl it would be too much. Anniversarys are supposed to be something special, having them multiple times in a year would make me grow tired of them. Plus, how would you even be creative enough to buy an original gift everytime
A lot of the days he mentioned actually fall on the 14th of each month. In Korea every month in the 14th is a holiday for couples- valentine’s day, kiss day, Pepero day etc. Most of those days are just meant to be like date days where you do something fun (like five each other the candy pepero) etc. But not everyone even celebrates them. So at least it wouldn’t be hard to memorize those dates since it’s the same each month haha but the 100 day stuff and all would get so old lol
I don't agree with guy on first point. Outside Korea too, people have varied size of faces. Its just Korean society has their own very high beauty standards for which they think this specific face type is perfect. And that age thing is severe in Korea. In India too we are told to respect elders but if u are in same class or working space, its not taken in consideration unless its like big age gap.
No matter the age, your employer did not hire that person to be your personal slave. They got work to do themselves so you get up and get your own snacks
@@smileysuga9397 There's nothing respectful about that. If they feel like they are entitled to that treatment then they are just abusing their power. If they wanted a personal assistant they should have hired one. Their job description did not include being their personal errand boy/girl.
@@shalom5978 I agree with you, in my place when someone is older like if I'm 12 and my cousin is 14, he can't tell me what to do its normally if I'm 12 and the person is 25-70, its like you bless your elders but you can only do it if they're 26 up,they explained it in a wrong way because the video looked like the dude was 25 and the other dude is 27-30 which doesn't mean that he can boss around (Sorry for my english)
@@smileysuga9397 Your english is fine. Sending people on errands is fine if they agree to it or if that's part of their job description.

Not to mention it's just really counter productive in a work environment. Anyway thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.😌
The SMTM slang is SO outdated in the states. I cringe when the Korean celebs say outdated random English Slang lol. Also I do remember when MBTI's were big in the states a few years ago. Now everyone is crazed on zodiac signs....and I never understood the blood type thing. at first, I was like that's someone's personal medical info 😂😂😂
I think so much of that is accurate except for the hugging thing, some people do hugs, but for the most part its just like a "Hi" or before the pandemic, maybe a handshake depending on who you're with? For the most part people respect personal space bc there's a lot of people (including myself) that don't really like physical contact.
Said perfectly I dont hug people I first met that weird asf to me but I do give them a hand shake and after seeing them for awhile I'll hug them (which is also rare because I hate physical contact too)
I think this happens mostly in the south. I'm from texas and Texas has a lot of Hispanics and Mexicans right. And it's funny how the girls kiss on the cheeks, guys just shake hands, some people hug, others do the hand and bump( idk how to explain it) and all. Idk why Mexicans tend to do so much touching. This can also happen in other places but im just saying that this is what I see because this is where I live.
That also depends on the culture/country you’re from! In my country people are very touchy, hugs, kisses to people you know or maybe just met and that’s the normal! But in The United States I see that people don’t really like that physical contact!
In India we are taught to treat our elders with respect, but they don't bully us. Also, in office everyone, irrespective of their age, are treated in the same way. Korean culture is a bit weird and I know I would get in trouble for questioning everything there.
@@divya5831 for me at home...I'm the youngest one but no one has power to say anything to me or insult me😂😂 because they know they will die.. though I respect them but.......🤐😂😂
In my culture and country we also have this "respect" type of thing for elders or simply older ppl than us. It just comes naturally. Starting from simply put school, where a first grader would probably let out a sit for for an example 8th or 9th grade. You have to say good day when addressing people 3,4 and more years older than you but you can say hi to ppl the same age or younger. It's not just in Korea it happens in many other cultures, and it's just normal like that we are used to it from a young age.
@I'm jisoo I'm okay Macedonia, but, what I said goes for most of the country's on the Balkan I think, and I also think Turkey has it similar too. It's definitely thought throughout our childhood, and since I know my country was under turkey for a long period of time in the past we have a lot of similarities when it comes to the culture despite the difference in religion. I had friends from turkey growing up and they also seemed to have been thought to act the same polite way I was to older ppl etc.
I don’t know about the small face thing.. like I do not see any different about the various sizes here in Sweden and Korea. Like beauty standards are very high there but so many say that it shouldn’t be like that but still they come up with these comment to each other all the time and make it normalised anyway. It’s kind of annoying. I got the culture shock when I heard about the age respect culture in Korea. I’m Vietnamese so I know that elders like grandma should we really respect but I see many asians think they are better or just have the right to be disrespectful to us younger, just because we say our opinion doesn’t mean we try to be saucy and deserve to get scolded.. sorry for my bad English
I find it interesting how the first thing that was described was described by the American girl in detail called “being polite”, one or two words by the Korean boy
If I had to sum up Koreans in one word. That word would be VANITY. P.S The anniversary thing is weird because the point of an anniversary is that it seldom happens. There's more meaning to a once a year or more thing. Like our birthday, Christmas or New Years. We appreciate those things because we wait all year for them.
I'm American, 28 years old (international age, I'm 30 in Korean age), my oldest friend is in his early 70s and we met when I was 22-23 and he was in his late 60s. Age doesn't define friendship in the states for many people. I have always been the youngest in my close circle of friends since high school, which currently includes people one year older to 30 years older than me. But I've also been told I have an "old soul" which honestly just means I'm occasionally crochety.
My mother's blood type is RF negative, and according to the chart he mentioned, she's a red head with green eyes and freckles. I laughed so hard at this, that's not even close!!! 🤣
The two things that I found super odd when I lived in Seoul were the small face comments and the questions about my blood type. No one actually explained the blood type thing, so being asked, repeatedly, made me very uncomfortable. I thought they wanted me to donate blood or plasma or something. Another weird thing was how if you complained of stomachache, your Korean friends might suggest (just right there in front of God and everyone) that you should try to go poop. Just very casually, “Oh, maybe you need to poop.” Lol. It’s kind of fascinating how etiquette differs around the world. There are so many things Americans do abroad that can be seen as offensive, and then Americans think certain things abroad are odd/rude as well. You just have to adapt to the local etiquette and be aware so that you don’t offend anyone and/or feel offended by the differences.
The reason is that Korean people believe that each blood type has its own distinct personality and it is the quickest way to determine a person's temperament and even compatibility with others. ... If you are asked this by a Korean, that means that the person wants to get to know you better
I mostly know the blood type thing from Chinese culture actually. Yeah, according to them, AB tends to be mentally unstable a lot. Yet that is my blood type and usually I’m pretty chill..
This video is so beautiful, they are so cute and interesting, I mean how did they do to learn each other lanhuage and travel to it country? The korean of the girl is amazing, she sounds native... They both speak both languages amazing is impressive and they are almost the same old than me, it makes me feel sad but inspired at the same time 💕
Seeing this, I can also relate to this video even though I’m not a Korean. In the Philippines we hug to great people too. At the same time, there are also times when we are shy and more distant. In taking selfies too (especially with girls), there are Filipinos who feel conscious when their face look too fat in the picture.
I think some of these also happens among chinese younger generations, the blood types, the absurd amount of anniversaries, loving the small faces... I think lots of my friends do these
I think it originated from older times when elders were more experienced in life, but times have changed so it doesn’t really have much meaning anymore. P.S: this comment is not made to disrespect any Korean or other cultures.
I think so, too. While I see it as a bit of an exaggeration, at the same time I look at the other extreme in western countries where the compas in all areas of life has lost direction completely. The only relative good thing about it is that different generations are no longer cooped together everywhere so people can now choose the age group they are comfortable to be with and many conflicts are avoided, don't you agree ?
When I became and ARMY and developed an addiction for kdramas the first thing I noticed was the similarities between our cultures. I am from pakistan. I mean when they bow down to greet, I get it it's what we do too and the elder put their hand on out head or shoulders as to say, "stay blessed". Their respect for elders was wow, cuz that not something u see often in foreign dramas and it's something VERY common in pakistan. We can't say no to elders no matter what. When koreans say hyung, unni noona or whatever, we say bhai, appi etc (a lot of words) after names of elder siblings and random people to show respect. We NEVER EVER take names of our parents or their friends or neighbors or anyone older than us. We hardly even call them mrs or mr something, like koreans call ajusshi and stuff we call uncle, aunty, chacha (etc depending on the bond we have.) We sometimes do compliment on head size 😂 although not that often, it's something the old people nitpick on young people 😂 I guess asians are asians 😅
There are a lot of 'psychos' around us, the majority of them are just different from the norm, it doesn't mean they will turn to murder, we associate this term with all the horror films we've been watching all our lives. I quite like it when in k-dramas the word 'psycho' is used just to label someone but not to point fingers at that person as a murderer.
I grew up military so I knew my blood type immediately, B+ , as for MBTI, I learned that relatively fast as it became standard measurement for compatibility and team making within a corporation, when I was in college it was a thing they had us do, I tested as INTJ and as a female of this type, it’s rare.
INTJ here, probably not that rare:) I don't trust general tests like that. Human psychology is a very complex subject. If I have to add more information based on zodiacal signs or blood type the final result will be different and will have an influence over my personality. What if we add, social background, education, family values, all sorts of epigenetics...!?
I don't know why I don't want the video to end I just want to look at her all the time I'm straight I just like the beautiful girls she looks so beautiful ❤
Fun fact: in azerbaycan ( my country) when they greet we hug AND kiss each others cheeks it’s a sign of respect like even if you don’t want to kiss they will understand cuz your a foreigner 😂 if you want to know more facts just write in the comments 😂
About the size of the head, I agree with the girl. I've seen pictures of Korean guys with big bodies and very small heads. It gets a little weird. Like she said, big body and peanut head. I think beauty is in a set of things that work differently for each person. You can't choose a pattern and think that everyone should be like that. What works for one person will not work for others. Therefore, beauty is something individual. Something that is not so cool in one person, can work very well for another.
When my partner and I started dating he kept buying me gifts for all these anniversaries and romantic holidays. It made me super uncomfortable bc I did not understand what was happening. Now we don't even celebrate our anniversary. LOL
Only African and Asians respect their elder ....and as SOMALI when you giving something to elderly person u most use ur both hands jst like Korean which is amazing coz we live different part of the world but we share same things
Respecting your elders is a thing in the US, but it gets muddled with the "friends of any age thing". Like, you can argue with your parents, but don't you dare talk back to your grandparents, for example. At the same time, you should respect everyone by dault, but if they say or do anything to lose that respect, regardless of age, then cut them loose.
I think its not only in Korea its a asian thing to respect elders and i live in india and it so wierd to understand .. if someone is 1 year or even 10 years older than me but my sibling / cousin so i can use many formal words with them. But if someone is like not my sibling / cousin we have to respect them a lot especially if we are meeting for the first time and if we are 1 year younger it still dosn't matter (in india being a year older than anyone doesn't matter alot )who they are we can call them by names but we have to put didi ( older sister) or bhajya ( older brother / brother) . After like kriti didi, gunjan didi, ravi bhaiya etc etc... And namaste is not a way to say hello . Its just a way to show respect we say namaste only to ones like aunties - uncle like that big people between kids or siblings / cousins we can use formal phrase and say hi, hello and stuff but to adults we have to say namaste..
Same thing in Greece and Russia, there's a specific different way to talk to people who r older and those u don't know,like in Korean. It's probably just English and Americans who don't have it
True. I'm Cancer and would never be in a long term relationship with a headstrong Aries, no way ! I never clicked with an Aries, we are like two polar opposites.
The age thing is true. We are bought up with the belief that we should always respect the elders cz they are wiser.. Its not a bad thing usually, unless that elder person is not that wise as you would expect. When MIL was treating badly, I could never say anything back to her because she is elder to me..
Americans kind of have honorifics (particularly in the south) but it's much more casual. It's not by year it's just if there is an older man or woman (about a 15 year gap or more) then the younger person calls the older person "ma'am" for women or "sir" for men. And older people, mostly women might call younger people "hun" "sweetie" "dear" or "darlin" though men don't really call other men that it's more often "sport" "slugger" "buddy" "bud" then the younger will still call him "sir"
That’s true I live in the south but we call everybody mam or sir no matter what age you are. It’s a respect thing I get called mam all the time and I’m 23. But I love saying it anyways haha.
Actually I'm Nigerian and i relate to the respecting your elders stuff. It's kind of important here. And especially in like government owned boarding secondary schools older students like to bully younger ones and make them basically do their bidding
Well i'm West Asian and we got stuck in between about those respect thing. We have respect verbs but we also use their name. For example there's an old male, he's name is Ahmet. And we call him "Ahmet amca." "Amca" means uncle normally and you use it for your dad's brother but you can also use it to show respect. I know. It's weird. We got stuck in between of those cultures LoL
I remember going to my friends house who is Hispanic and her mom was so sweet, she was like "hi, hi! You want some food, I'm making cookies! How is your family?" She was so nice haha 😂 I feel like a lot Americans depending on where they are from can be like that too. It just depends.
@@agoofygoober7649 Yeah my whole family is like your friend's mom. And when I have traveled to U.S people looks angry. I feel scared when they are around me. Because I feel like idk what to do. But yeah is the first sight. Then maybe are friendly people. Greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽
6:57 So MBTI is like the Korean version of American Zodiac signs!!! Ex “Omg you should never hangout with her!! she must be crazy since she’s a Scorpio!!” (I’m a Scorpio so don’t get offended if you are too!!🤣🤣🤣)
the “slang” (which it’s not always) is the most accurate. I just cringe so hard. Like they still use it when it’s outdated and a lot of time they misuse it (well ig that happens here too with the misuse). The MBTI and Blood type things i feel like in korea majority of ppl will be obsessed while here only a group will be and the. others would just go eh and others wouldn’t care at all.
Meanwhile one professor in the course personality psychology told us that there is no scientific evidence for the MBTI to be of use and that the descriptions are so vague you'll find yourself in every type 😅
He's right, let's not forget how much people think they know themselves but reality is quite different, answering truthfully to those questions is questionable by default.
I know my blood type, back in the day in America they used to type babies blood types incase they needed a transfusion if something happened. Medical Science has come a long way and things that back then affected babies don't anymore. They gave me my daughter's blood type, however by the time my sons were born they were no longer doing the blood types. They used to give the blood type on a card with your name and the hospital name that gave it to you where you were born.
There are countries with ID cards which mention the blood type, however, my husband said they no longer look at that info in an emergency, it's too easy to get it wrong and it's very fast to do a blood test on the spot. I presume, that's the reason they no longer give you that card, it can be misplaced or misused.

A lot of the days he mentioned actually fall on the 14th of each month. In Korea every month in the 14th is a holiday for couples- valentine’s day, kiss day, Pepero day etc. Most of those days are just meant to be like date days where you do something fun (like five each other the candy pepero) etc. But not everyone even celebrates them. So at least it wouldn’t be hard to memorize those dates since it’s the same each month haha but the 100 day stuff and all would get so old lol
From what I heard many couples use apps that remind them of every special day so it's not that bad
I don't agree with guy on first point. Outside Korea too, people have varied size of faces. Its just Korean society has their own very high beauty standards for which they think this specific face type is perfect.

Nononono its being called respectful✨i don't think you understand that
@@smileysuga9397 There's nothing respectful about that. If they feel like they are entitled to that treatment then they are just abusing their power. If they wanted a personal assistant they should have hired one. Their job description did not include being their personal errand boy/girl.
@@shalom5978 I agree with you, in my place when someone is older like if I'm 12 and my cousin is 14, he can't tell me what to do its normally if I'm 12 and the person is 25-70, its like you bless your elders but you can only do it if they're 26 up,they explained it in a wrong way because the video looked like the dude was 25 and the other dude is 27-30 which doesn't mean that he can boss around
(Sorry for my english)
@@smileysuga9397 Your english is fine. Sending people on errands is fine if they agree to it or if that's part of their job description. My problem is people feeling entitled to you doing stuff for them and age doesn't matter either. Whether they are 2 years or 12 years older, you don't owe them your time. Not to mention it's just really counter productive in a work environment.
Anyway thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.😌
The shock on his face when she said its possible to be friends with an older person 😂😂😂
Especially when you work like in retail. My friend is 47 and I’m 26 but maybe it’s because latino and we tend to befriend anyone despite age
I have older friends and I never really think about their ages. We're friends because we have things in common and get along. 🤷

I think so much of that is accurate except for the hugging thing, some people do hugs, but for the most part its just like a "Hi" or before the pandemic, maybe a handshake depending on who you're with? For the most part people respect personal space bc there's a lot of people (including myself) that don't really like physical contact.
Said perfectly I dont hug people I first met that weird asf to me but I do give them a hand shake and after seeing them for awhile I'll hug them (which is also rare because I hate physical contact too)
I think this happens mostly in the south. I'm from texas and Texas has a lot of Hispanics and Mexicans right. And it's funny how the girls kiss on the cheeks, guys just shake hands, some people hug, others do the hand and bump( idk how to explain it) and all. Idk why Mexicans tend to do so much touching. This can also happen in other places but im just saying that this is what I see because this is where I live.
That also depends on the culture/country you’re from! In my country people are very touchy, hugs, kisses to people you know or maybe just met and that’s the normal! But in The United States I see that people don’t really like that physical contact!
Oof I hug everyone Ahjsjss
@@Vkal.c it’s a cultural thing for Hispanic families. We are very touchy lol
In India we are taught to treat our elders with respect, but they don't bully us. Also, in office everyone, irrespective of their age, are treated in the same way. Korean culture is a bit weird and I know I would get in trouble for questioning everything there.

In my culture and country we also have this "respect" type of thing for elders or simply older ppl than us. It just comes naturally. Starting from simply put school, where a first grader would probably let out a sit for for an example 8th or 9th grade. You have to say good day when addressing people 3,4 and more years older than you but you can say hi to ppl the same age or younger. It's not just in Korea it happens in many other cultures, and it's just normal like that we are used to it from a young age.
@I'm jisoo I'm okay Macedonia, but, what I said goes for most of the country's on the Balkan I think, and I also think Turkey has it similar too. It's definitely thought throughout our childhood, and since I know my country was under turkey for a long period of time in the past we have a lot of similarities when it comes to the culture despite the difference in religion. I had friends from turkey growing up and they also seemed to have been thought to act the same polite way I was to older ppl etc.

I don’t know about the small face thing.. like I do not see any different about the various sizes here in Sweden and Korea. Like beauty standards are very high there but so many say that it shouldn’t be like that but still they come up with these comment to each other all the time and make it normalised anyway. It’s kind of annoying. I got the culture shock when I heard about the age respect culture in Korea. I’m Vietnamese so I know that elders like grandma should we really respect but I see many asians think they are better or just have the right to be disrespectful to us younger, just because we say our opinion doesn’t mean we try to be saucy and deserve to get scolded.. sorry for my bad English

I find it interesting how the first thing that was described was described by the American girl in detail called “being polite”, one or two words by the Korean boy
If I had to sum up Koreans in one word. That word would be VANITY.
P.S
The anniversary thing is weird because the point of an anniversary is that it seldom happens. There's more meaning to a once a year or more thing. Like our birthday, Christmas or New Years. We appreciate those things because we wait all year for them.

I'm American, 28 years old (international age, I'm 30 in Korean age), my oldest friend is in his early 70s and we met when I was 22-23 and he was in his late 60s. Age doesn't define friendship in the states for many people. I have always been the youngest in my close circle of friends since high school, which currently includes people one year older to 30 years older than me. But I've also been told I have an "old soul" which honestly just means I'm occasionally crochety.

The two things that I found super odd when I lived in Seoul were the small face comments and the questions about my blood type. No one actually explained the blood type thing, so being asked, repeatedly, made me very uncomfortable. I thought they wanted me to donate blood or plasma or something. Another weird thing was how if you complained of stomachache, your Korean friends might suggest (just right there in front of God and everyone) that you should try to go poop. Just very casually, “Oh, maybe you need to poop.” Lol. It’s kind of fascinating how etiquette differs around the world. There are so many things Americans do abroad that can be seen as offensive, and then Americans think certain things abroad are odd/rude as well. You just have to adapt to the local etiquette and be aware so that you don’t offend anyone and/or feel offended by the differences.
The reason is that Korean people believe that each blood type has its own distinct personality and it is the quickest way to determine a person's temperament and even compatibility with others. ... If you are asked this by a Korean, that means that the person wants to get to know you better
My mom suggests me to poop too lmfao

They both speak both languages amazing is impressive and they are almost the same old than me, it makes me feel sad but inspired at the same time 💕
Seeing this, I can also relate to this video even though I’m not a Korean. In the Philippines we hug to great people too. At the same time, there are also times when we are shy and more distant. In taking selfies too (especially with girls), there are Filipinos who feel conscious when their face look too fat in the picture.

I think it originated from older times when elders were more experienced in life, but times have changed so it doesn’t really have much meaning anymore. P.S: this comment is not made to disrespect any Korean or other cultures.
I think so, too. While I see it as a bit of an exaggeration, at the same time I look at the other extreme in western countries where the compas in all areas of life has lost direction completely. The only relative good thing about it is that different generations are no longer cooped together everywhere so people can now choose the age group they are comfortable to be with and many conflicts are avoided, don't you agree ?
When I became and ARMY and developed an addiction for kdramas the first thing I noticed was the similarities between our cultures. I am from pakistan. I mean when they bow down to greet, I get it it's what we do too and the elder put their hand on out head or shoulders as to say, "stay blessed". Their respect for elders was wow, cuz that not something u see often in foreign dramas and it's something VERY common in pakistan. We can't say no to elders no matter what. When koreans say hyung, unni noona or whatever, we say bhai, appi etc (a lot of words) after names of elder siblings and random people to show respect. We NEVER EVER take names of our parents or their friends or neighbors or anyone older than us. We hardly even call them mrs or mr something, like koreans call ajusshi and stuff we call uncle, aunty, chacha (etc depending on the bond we have.) We sometimes do compliment on head size 😂 although not that often, it's something the old people nitpick on young people 😂 I guess asians are asians 😅
3:51 yeahh

if AB is the psycho type what does that make me since im AB+? super psycho serial killer?
lol
If A is shy then A+ is supper shy or silent killer but having A+ blood group I am direct opposite I can never shut my mouth nor sit quite in one place
There are a lot of 'psychos' around us, the majority of them are just different from the norm, it doesn't mean they will turn to murder, we associate this term with all the horror films we've been watching all our lives. I quite like it when in k-dramas the word 'psycho' is used just to label someone but not to point fingers at that person as a murderer.
I grew up military so I knew my blood type immediately, B+ , as for MBTI, I learned that relatively fast as it became standard measurement for compatibility and team making within a corporation, when I was in college it was a thing they had us do, I tested as INTJ and as a female of this type, it’s rare.
INTJ here, probably not that rare:) I don't trust general tests like that. Human psychology is a very complex subject.
If I have to add more information based on zodiacal signs or blood type the final result will be different and will have an influence over my personality. What if we add, social background, education, family values, all sorts of epigenetics...!?

About the size of the head, I agree with the girl. I've seen pictures of Korean guys with big bodies and very small heads. It gets a little weird. Like she said, big body and peanut head. I think beauty is in a set of things that work differently for each person. You can't choose a pattern and think that everyone should be like that. What works for one person will not work for others. Therefore, beauty is something individual. Something that is not so cool in one person, can work very well for another.
Yeah I find it very weird too. Cute face with small head but large muscular body. Kinda look like an 👽.

Only African and Asians respect their elder ....and as SOMALI when you giving something to elderly person u most use ur both hands jst like Korean which is amazing coz we live different part of the world but we share same things
Me trying to make my friends respect me cuz I'm older than them here in London 😭🤧
omg british gang🇬🇧🇬🇧
Sadly that'll never happen
Respecting your elders is a thing in the US, but it gets muddled with the "friends of any age thing". Like, you can argue with your parents, but don't you dare talk back to your grandparents, for example. At the same time, you should respect everyone by dault, but if they say or do anything to lose that respect, regardless of age, then cut them loose.
I think its not only in Korea its a asian thing to respect elders and i live in india and it so wierd to understand .. if someone is 1 year or even 10 years older than me but my sibling / cousin so i can use many formal words with them. But if someone is like not my sibling / cousin we have to respect them a lot especially if we are meeting for the first time and if we are 1 year younger it still dosn't matter (in india being a year older than anyone doesn't matter alot )who they are we can call them by names but we have to put didi ( older sister) or bhajya ( older brother / brother) . After like kriti didi, gunjan didi, ravi bhaiya etc etc... And namaste is not a way to say hello . Its just a way to show respect we say namaste only to ones like aunties - uncle like that big people between kids or siblings / cousins we can use formal phrase and say hi, hello and stuff but to adults we have to say namaste..
Same thing in Greece and Russia, there's a specific different way to talk to people who r older and those u don't know,like in Korean. It's probably just English and Americans who don't have it
in Brazil we have friends at any age even if i am 20 and the other person is 80
It’s very fun to watch them
The thing with the MBTI reminds me of signs like "oh we don't match because you're a cancer and i'm an aries." kind of thing
True. I'm Cancer and would never be in a long term relationship with a headstrong Aries, no way ! I never clicked with an Aries, we are like two polar opposites.
I LOVE HER
Same! She's so charming
The age thing is true. We are bought up with the belief that we should always respect the elders cz they are wiser.. Its not a bad thing usually, unless that elder person is not that wise as you would expect.
When MIL was treating badly, I could never say anything back to her because she is elder to me..
“big body and a peanut head” LMFAO
That’s how they look though no shade but like what is that beauty standard

Americans kind of have honorifics (particularly in the south) but it's much more casual. It's not by year it's just if there is an older man or woman (about a 15 year gap or more) then the younger person calls the older person "ma'am" for women or "sir" for men. And older people, mostly women might call younger people "hun" "sweetie" "dear" or "darlin" though men don't really call other men that it's more often "sport" "slugger" "buddy" "bud" then the younger will still call him "sir"
That’s true I live in the south but we call everybody mam or sir no matter what age you are. It’s a respect thing I get called mam all the time and I’m 23. But I love saying it anyways haha.
Not only American can be more friendly all the countries do that. 🤗
Actually I'm Nigerian and i relate to the respecting your elders stuff. It's kind of important here. And especially in like government owned boarding secondary schools older students like to bully younger ones and make them basically do their bidding

Yeah whenever I read Korean comics I'm always so confused when ppl ask blood type as like, an ice breaker, but I have no clue what mine is haha
the “slang” (which it’s not always) is the most accurate. I just cringe so hard. Like they still use it when it’s outdated and a lot of time they misuse it (well ig that happens here too with the misuse). The MBTI and Blood type things i feel like in korea majority of ppl will be obsessed while here only a group will be and the. others would just go eh and others wouldn’t care at all.
im filipino and i dont associate anything to blood types other than blood type AB is rare or uncommon
Meanwhile one professor in the course personality psychology told us that there is no scientific evidence for the MBTI to be of use and that the descriptions are so vague you'll find yourself in every type 😅
he sounds like an istj
He's right, let's not forget how much people think they know themselves but reality is quite different, answering truthfully to those questions is questionable by default.
I know my blood type, back in the day in America they used to type babies blood types incase they needed a transfusion if something happened. Medical Science has come a long way and things that back then affected babies don't anymore. They gave me my daughter's blood type, however by the time my sons were born they were no longer doing the blood types. They used to give the blood type on a card with your name and the hospital name that gave it to you where you were born.
There are countries with ID cards which mention the blood type, however, my husband said they no longer look at that info in an emergency, it's too easy to get it wrong and it's very fast to do a blood test on the spot. I presume, that's the reason they no longer give you that card, it can be misplaced or misused.
