- There's just some things you'll never expect when it comes down to visiting, living, studying or teaching in a new country. In Korea, it's completely different and can be sometimes flat out, hilariously frustrating and face palming. Find out what to expect as a foreigner in Korea and why they stare at you.

When I got stared at I'd stare back and smile.
They look away real fast. So cuuute
Courtney Lee literally I love it ~_~
@@blueotan even if i don't know if they think I'm pretty or not I'll think I am 🤣🤣🤣
Imma do that if I ever go to Korea
Nahh if they looking at u weirdly I give them the side eye look I’ve done it before 😁
When they stare pretend like you’re a model
Id get arrested for fraud OOF
idek why i’m watching this i’m not even going to go to korea anytime soon
This helped so much, i was kinda surprised when u mentioned BTS 😂
omg I totally agree 100% as I'm an korean... this video makes me laugh so hard btw especially when you talk about older ppl pushing you.... XD it's not bc they hate you, it's just bc it's korean culture.. ahahahahah even when you experience shitty things like when all koreans stare at you or older ppl push you pretending they don't give a fxxx, it's just some part of korean culture, not bc they don't like you... hahahaha korean ppl don't really talk to other ppl who they don't know so they just stare at you.. they don't really think about what you would feel so they just stare at you.. hahaha and older ppl they just wanna get into subway for the first and take seats, so they just push everybody. they don't care about pushing other ppl. hahahahaha I've also always experienced these things.
Thanks for sharing your experience dear🌼
Lol korèan granny are hilarious 🤣
"You'd be tackeld by security." I start laughing I almost choked!😂😂😂😂
They find you as beautiful because ummmmmmm you are lol
Bullshit... Koreans hate southeast Asians. The truth... we find you ugly and annoying.. get out of korea
korean hate everybody to be honest. @@koreanpeninsula2116
@@koreanpeninsula2116 I agree with this. Not all of them. But Majority of them in Korea.
@@koreanpeninsula2116 breh i saw more ugly people in korea than in the philippines tbh.
@@koreanpeninsula2116 have u ever had bad experiences with any South East asians that caused u 2 think that all of them r like that??
But seriously, those stares are soo unpleasant. Even on the escalator when I was almost out of their sight, they still stared at me. I know they stared at me because when I turned my head, they were still staring and their eyes just followed me 😂😂 and I also experienced getting pushed around, but only by younger people
bc you is a Q U E E N PERIDODT
I am Korean and I tell you, Korean people will stare at you even if you are not a foreigner. It is really bad with old people. It doesn't mean they are racists they just stare at you 🙄... It is a cultural difference and they don't think staring is considered rude.
Like, how having a direct eye contact during conversation in western culture is considered normal? But in Korean culture, older people might get offended at direct eye contact. It is a cultural thing.... please know we are not trying to offend you or anything 😭
Thanks for the Korean perspective. We all tend to misinterpret things when we are in a different country.
이 정조 고맙습니다
yes be more yourself. And not these type of a.... well.. 'professional' attitude. That makes your vids so much better. I like then by the way :)
Thank you! I really appreciate it. THERE'S MORE TO COMEEE
My korean friends told me that mostly koreans are racist if you have brown complexion or tanned-skin.
If you have Milky White skin they treat you better in restaurants or anywhere, and also if they see you you're good in wearing clothes(Fashionista).
Based on my experience I went there for travel they keep smiling on me. :) Which is I totally love it. :)
That's why I love the Culture in Korea
Mikko Jung 🙋♂️ me, a black person: 👁👄👁

me, a tan person visiting korea soon: 😦
You're not gonna get fucking jumped lol y'all are so dramatic
There was this one time i was just peacefully eating food in jollibee and this one korean guy kept staring at me while i ate.. I was so embarrassed that i kept thinking if there was something on my face then.. He stood beside me and he was still staring at me and later on he said Hi in korean.. I was dumbfounded and could not speak so i just bowed my head and kept eating lmao... He then walked away lol
Omg you didn't talk to him? GUUUURL 😂😂😂
Was this recently? I can't believe it's that uncommon to see a foreigner there still.
The same thing happened to me I think three times lol the most obvious one was when I was getting a drink at the dispenser when I heard a camera click. I turned around and I saw two girls holding their phone at me and they didn't really try to hide it and I was like ????
woncheolkyeom - Those girls probably found you either handsome or ugly. Hopefully they found you handsome.
I would have told them off don’t take pictures of people u don’t know
OMG. That's creepy. Those girls became a sasaeng for you as I guess😂😂😂
@@katakana1268 exactly😬😬
Its considered to be normal
In Korea.
People take photos
Of you if they think you are attractive, not only this is normalised in Korea but the
Whole Asia
So to sum it up they stare at me as if I was a tiger just escaped from the zoo, nice now my anxiety is going to rise 😅
All of these things are happening to me, I arrived in Seoul 2 weeks ago and now I'm getting used to but it was super awkward at first xD
when i stare at girl there are 2 thing that cross my mind, #1 she is hot, #2 why is she here?
You just made my day! You are very funny😊 I understand that being stared at would be so very uncomfortable, but I think if it happened to me and I noticed people looking at me, I probably would not be able to hold back giggling. I’m not good with situations like that. I would however keep my head down until I got off at my stop. Ugh🤦🏻♀️ I would be so awkward lol! Maybe I would tell the person who tried to take a picture that they now owed me dinner lol! Just kidding! I’d be too shy😉 Hey, you never know, maybe a live connection could be made on the train or bus?🤷🏻♀️😂
"Kim Minseok" shows three different famous KMS's - I loled
i’m from south africa planning to study in korea , your videos help me a lot and you are so funny and it’s a joy watching your videos 🇰🇷🇿🇦💜.
I loved this video. I burst out laughing when you were talking about Koreans taking obvious pictures. Thanks for some heads up about what foreigners experience, this will help when I go to Korea.
In a lot of ways korea seems similar to japan. I liken it to usa and Canada. Family, education and politeness are things I've noticed between korea and japan. I think overall japanese people are more polite in a passive manner but i suspect its because in general, they don't speak english as well as koreans. Koreans are more likely to strike a conversation with you from my personal experience. And in Japan i dont think i was ever stared at if anything japanese people seemed to look away/stand away from me as if i smelled bad (on the subway).
But the food is so different from each other and though i plan to go to korea next year im worried about the spicyness.
I feel like Japanese people move away because most are not comfortable being around foreigners. It's a bit intimidating to them and just like you said, they're not as familiar with the English language as most Koreans are.
maarcnig yea i mean out in public thats definitely the case but if i went to golden gai, which is the block that has 300 bars crammed in a coupley alleys they are completely different people. The people there tend to be more extrovert but that is the nature of sitting in a bar that seats like 6 people. Ive been to some bars where bartenders knew zero english and some where they knew some or one of their regulars was bilingual and would happily be the translator so that we could all have a conversation.
Japanese culture has almost extreme xenophobia but that is mainly due to them being an island nation. Globalization of the 20th/21st century has helped with xenophobia in japan but it’s still prevalent.
Lol i lived with a foster family in Japan without knowing a single japanese and we talked on the dinner table with freaking google 😂
I went to Paris with my family a couple years ago. While we were walking around a group of korean people came up to us and asked me an my sister if we can take a picture with them. We ended up taking pictures for 10 - 15 minutes because there were so many korean people haha. My sister and I are from Germany and we both have blue eyes and blonde hair... that‘s probably the reason why they wanted to take pictures with us.
Everyone is saying that the older people in Korea stare more? My personal experience is, that more young people stare at me and the old people just ignore me.
The only thing that old people do is starting conversations with me, when I am for example going to the convenience store and they are working there.
You deserve more sub's tbh
If they would stare of me for having a brown complexion , I would stare also to them with a blank expression on my face then little by little I will be smiling showing my fangs and then say "Hi" with much more bigger eyes 😂😂
Just wanted to say hi and I like your vids
Hello! Thanks for watching and the support :)
💕
That's true, I've been in Seoul, nd that was happening all the time in street subway anywhere kkkkk I was thinking maybe cause I am beautiful they may find me attractive... omg that was so embarrassing specially in the subway, i keep staring me too.. like he said what the f. Are u looking at .. anyway that was funny most of time .
What do they do with that picture...
Me: uhh.... yeah... let’s not think about that.
So this is nothing to do with Korea but more the picture taking point you made....i was once at an aquarium (in Australia, where i'm from) with my family and i wasn't exactly always with them. At one point i was by myself and an Indian family came to ask for a picture which i thought was no problem.. so i was about to grab their camera to take their photo until they made it clear that they didn't want me to take their photo, but be in their family photo?? I have never met them before, and we didn't talk after the photo. I'm still very curious what they did with the photo? and why they wanted a stranger to be in it???
Yoo wtf
Is that you in the profile photo? If so, they probably thought you were a beautiful blonde girl and wanted a photo with you. What they probably did was take the photo home and show it to their family to show them what an authentic Australian blonde looks like or something like that.
I would have said no
@@jakepaulpound-for-pound9418 well authentic Australians are Aboriginals, SOOO you fail lmao
I was taught in my Peruvian culture that we must move when we see elders, we must respect there space, so I always move to the trees, off the the sidewalk also I walk slower so they can pass by.
Are you from Peru??
Whew I already get people taking photos of me in my own country🤣 The craziest one was when a guy literally leaned out a car window that was driving fast the opposite way😭😂
I remember that happening to me too lol, I was walking to school and some man driving a coca cola truck just stuck his head out and stared at me, so embarrassing
So I was at stater Bros and my mom made a joke and I started laughing and this Korean boy who worked there he was walking past me and I was laughing and he locked eyes with me while we passed eachother and then when I was walking around the store I turned around and caught him staring at me and we locked eyes again but I heard my mom calling me so I just left and went to her! I was thinking he wanted to talk so I went to the other side of the store by myself but he never came to me so I gave up and went back to my mom nothing happened for the rest of the store journey but when we went to go order he came to put our stuff into the bags and he made eye contact with me once but he seem shy and kept looking down and wouldn't look at me and after he finished he walked away quickly and after that when I went out side to put the stuff in the trunk and I looked up to see him and we locked eyes again but I quickly looked down and finished my stuff and I was assuming he was 16 cause he liked young and the youngest age to work there is 16! So yeah that happened at like 8pm and I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what he was thinking cause my friends were like oh he's interested in you and some of my friends were like oh he probably though you were pretty but like what do y'all think?
I want to visit, but I don’t listen to Koop, I prefer K rock and K metal though. I actually like watching the return of Superman it’s the reason why I want to go to Korea. If I see one of the kids I will say hi to them and to there parents to let them know they are awesome keep at it.
From my experience my sister had an international competition abroad so I just came along and there was a Korean team and they all looked like kpop idols- there was even one of my age and he was so attractive while I’m just like 👁👄👁
Also they’re all really short ngl and I looked older than a lot of people .keep In mind I’m 11 and 185cm. I also look a lot older to people in general and people mostly believe I’m 16.but it’s normal for people in my country to look a lot older, But for some reason they looked like babies compared to me
Also they look at you like an alien for no reason. For example I have blue eyes and really pale white vampire/porcelain skin and blonde ish brown hair and they were starring at me just because of how I look.they were really confused and I think they looked at my eyes and me really weirdly ? But they intensely stared at me and it made me uncomfortable so I hope they didn’t think I was ugly. They spoke to me when we needed to communicate or if they needed help and all of them just started to stare at me and it was really weird. I’ll be experiencing this again every year for a long time btw so I really hope I don’t have to be so uncomfortable in a bit months when it’s time for the competition. Please remind me to make an update in August
Also I hope my English wasn’t too bad I’m actually French but I’m trying to make my eng as good as I can
11 years old and 185cm?! Wow... I'm 27 and 163cm... I feel so small now 🥺
I'm reminding you for an update lol
Bro updatee ???
@@b2stparadise haha I'm 18 and 160cm 🥺👀
If you go to Korea and *_don't_* want to be stared at or have your picture taken by complete strangers (which *_REALLY, REALLLLLLY_* bothers me, personally; I smack their phone right out of their goddamn hands and into oblivion), (which will all also likely die out anyway due to reasons he mentioned in this video), just wear hoodies that cover your hair and upper face, long clothing, dark sunglasses and/or a face mask if you can pull it off right. Also, push those older people right back, you're likely stronger. I can't stand been touched by strangers but I'm stubborn as fuck and I'll let someone know, if they're obviously doing it too much or not move for shit. Give. No. Fucks.
Omg same.i would get so annoyed
Just point the camera back at them 🤣
I'm Korean, just was born and grew up outside of Korea. I look like most Koreans. I've got black hair, I'm skinny, I dress like Koreans, I pretty much am trying so hard to blend in so THEY STOP STARING AT ME! this is so annoying, I hate attention. but they still stare at me all the time. I don't know why. I'm starting to think that there's something really wrong with me, my insecurities are growing rapidly
im a Filipino and worker here in South Korea. Before working here i looooooove Koreans. like in Kdramas theyre so warm, gentle, like all that. but when id got here? shhhhhhhhhhh******t. so disappointed... theyre so rude and cold. i dunno why.. like, were all humans right? 🙄🙄🙄
Cool! you're still doing vids 😀😀😀 I learned a lot of do and don'ts from your vids regarding Korea.
I'm glad!! I hope I continue to help you in future videos!
My friends and I were on the train from Incheon to Seoul from the airport and this man that was sitting in front of me kept looking at me and also kept pointing his phone at me. I was sorta weirded out so I asked my friend who was standing to go sit in the empty seat next to him. Turns out, he was recording us
Cera Sloth Are you and your friends Caucasian women? Koreans are obsessed with appearance and will take photos of random people to share with their friends and family, especially if you are White. Not all Koreans, of course, but some.
@Albert Pak two of us are are caucasian, and two of us are Latinas.
What?? Do they really think this is okay? It would creep me out so much… :0
They stare a lot even if ur foreigner or not. I think they just like to stare people.
Oh my you have a rlly nice accent when you speak korean.:0
ITS TOTALLY BC OF BTS. BTS AND ONLY BTS. BANGTAN FOR LIFE. 4EVER
💜ARMY+BTS=FOREVER
i feel you bro, im full korean but i one hundred percent look wasian and im fully americanized because ive lived in beverly hills for my whole life
You mentioned BTS ,Army Purple you, Stay Gold Borahae 🤗
“It’s like bro what the fuck are you looking at” LMAOOOO
Yup. Totally because of BTS. There. I admitted it. I was a Kpop fanatic 15 years ago already and then I stopped. And BTS dragged me back.
Loved the intro, it made me laugh so much 👍
in conclusion, we should all stare the shxt out of each other until one says hello or looks away/be on their way lul
Loved this video! Thanks for this! I just subscribed~ the staring thing would make me feel a little uncomfortable if i ever decide to go there haha
I am a Indian and a bts army also. I don't want to live in S. korea, I love my own country. I just wanna see bts that all, the only 7 boys I trust so much💜💜🇮🇳🇰🇷
I grew up in Germany and in the 1980's and 1990's it was the same here and also in East Europe.
Try to have compassion for their unfamiliarity or uneasiness with different looking people. No need to take things like this too personal.
Yeah someone once told me that Germans do stare and sometimes don't look away
It's actually a known fact that most Koreans esp the older ones don't find brown skin pleasing. Thus, SEA people could be discriminated in there. This holds me back from vising S.K. though I love EXO so much and wanna hoard merch instead of ordering online. I still wanna go though.
I got lots of stares in Cambodia and Vietnam. I went there with my aunt
Well in germany people stare at you as well and they won´t stop, even if you stare back at them. But, they will not stare at you, because you look like a foreigner but speak a different language and they simply wanna know, where you´re from. The photo thing is very creepy though.
Thank you , Very much for allowing me to speak to you. My question is as follows..... Should I as a visiting foreigner avoid wearing fitted clothing around them?
Post more videos like that please, I really like your videos
On vacation in Italy my group was stopped all the time because my friend had platinum blonde hair and looked a lot like Marilyn Monroe,,,.. People were always polite but it allowed is a lot of perks. Once, we were stopped by the owner of a leather store and invited to his store to try on coats and he broke out the wine, it was really a lot of fun. Another time we were taking a hovercraft to Capri and an entire soccer team sat with us and invited us to their game.
*I JUST TOOK THE FATTEST L EVER*
edit: imagine this. they're staring at you and you notic and blush and push your hair behind your ear and they're like" -_____-"
I am different, I stare back and have a staring contest. I am of mixed origin...(Black, White, and Native American) I am used to it...Americans stare as well. But I LOVE Differences between cultures and try to learn and appreciate it. Now, I am trying to find love of a Korean-American man and appreciate his culture and friendship...😆
This was so fun to watch!! LOL
they take pictures of you because they wanna show their families what new interesting creature they saw
Thanks for the video ❤i subbed
Haha, so true!! You nailed it! 😂😂😂
Dude hahaha I was in Korea for 2 months, I visited a lot of places, I've been around a lot of people and I was amazed that I wasn't stared at by men, except for soldiers. The Ahjumas would stare but then call me Beautiful. The girls usually asked for pictures tho.
Awsome video!...I find all these tips helpful when I go to Korea.
5:45 Japanese person: “Yeho I just ran into a fucken foreigner, what the hell do I do.” Send picture to newer generation
Lol, when me and my family (I have 2 sisters, a mom and a dad all blonde like me) were on holiday, a group of koreans just shamelessly took pictures of us 😂 It was kinda cute but I also felt really self-aware 🙈😂
I like your videos so much 😊😊 Where are you from??
I was cracking up watching thid video hahaha
bro that's literally exactly what i experienced when i was in korea
Youre so funny boy i love you😂😂😂😂 from Iran✌ come to our country. and thanks for your good video
I just want to go to Korea because I Love Asia 😱! And Korean boys!! Can u do a vídeo how Koreans boys behave!!?
im gonna visit korea because of BTS
anastasia bennett sameee
Ur only going bc of BTS lol
Korea is not only BTS, it is beautiful country with rich culture. It’s not all about 7 cute guys
that’s a bit weird...
Ngl but what can going to Korea because you like bts do. It’s a bit weird knowing that the only reason you like a country is because of 7 guys. Y’all sound too ignorant rn
You stupid Maarcing lol hahaha funny. I would love that fact that Im exotic to them I love people I would try to talk to everyone Haha
When I went to Barcelona with my Korean friend I got asked through them by these Korean girls if they could take a photo with me as a foreign girl 🤔🤔 interesting experience 🤔 It was pretty cute tho hahah
Cursing is more "being yourself"? SMH.
Umm..I think im going to turn into a korean (if its possible) because people say I stare too much lmaooo
I walk using a walker with wheels I understand of the staring I am asking would it be a problem getting around in Seoul South Korea
Went to HS with a lot of Koreans in America.
They would sit on benches and stare at everyone.
It's a form of bullying.
Koreans want to come to America but dont want anyone moving there.
Omg when people stares me i get weird af 😢😂😂
I didn’t finished yet the video and I’m laughing so fucking hard
Hey thanks i'll be in korea this year this is really helpful..
So cute!
I love you 😘 so funny and true 😂
Can you just ask them to stop staring or like trying to be sly to take pictures of you? You know? Like I don’t give consent to strangers doing that cause that’s creepy as heck and uncomfortable.
If they don’t stop and it gets on my nerves I might just have to do the same to them so they know how it feels to be under a “microscope” for them to understand how we feel if they don’t stop.
Reason's I've always wanted to go to korea ;; I've always been interested About the culture and Language and plus I've seen so many videos of korean schools they just seem so welcoming For me american schools arent very welcoming Idk, But plus I love kpop so
i was around 11 at the time and i went on a dance trip to japan with my dance group. mind you was the darkest one in my group and to top it all off i had a big afro. but i got a weave so. but anyway i got attention from a lot of the Japanese people. and i was getting waaaay more attention than anyone else in my group. they didnt like that. but anyway there was this one time where we were in a train to get back to our hotel and a teenage boy (looked about 16) was deadass staring at me like 👁👄👁 and i was like bitch wtf are you looking at. so i stomped my foot and turned to him and looked him dead in the eye and said " da fuck" and looked at him up and down🤨 when i tell you he got so freaked out. his face deadass was so white oml i almost laughed. even his two other friends got scared lmao 😂 i love asian ppl
Lmaooo😂😂😂
Here because of BTS!!!! 😂😂
Um...I have long blond hair and blue eyes. It kinda creeps me out knowing I'd be stared at obsessively. 😳
Me too! I mean, imagine you go somewhere in Korea and everyone just stares at you like you did something weird or idk. Anxiety Level 100!
Wear contact lenses and a wig lmao🤣
Just kidding....but it is an option🤷♀️
Yes i like Koreans because of bts and kdrama hahahaha
Shit. I wouldn't mind staring at some hot Korean men, especially if they are:
Kim Seok-jin 💜
Min Yoon-gi 💜
Jung Ho-seok 💜
Kim Nam-joon 💜
Park Ji-min 💜
Kim Tae-hyung 💜
Jeon Jung-kook 💜
😂I'd still get nervous because, well a hot guys looking at me.

if korean love hip hop, then while did they always discriminating against Africans or black people. Don't they know that Hip Hop came from Africans or Black people? don't they. I believe they are racist.
@@Rachel-sd2kj let not pretend as if there not a bunch of colourism in Korea.also if you listen to people experiences about being black in Korea they all say similar things.
Man don't believe everything that media feeds you. For example, I live in Canada so I am exposed to western media. US always talk such shit things about China. I highly doubt that China is as bad as what US say it is. Media loves to exaggerate.
I haven’t felt the staring that much , I’ve only been there for 2 weeks maybe that’s why
This is so funny
Im Latina
