South Korea didn't "divide from the North." Two Allied Powers, USA and USSR, divided Korea, after they defeated Japan. The Koreans gained their independence on August 15, 1945. There was an election in the US controlled South, while the Russian controlled North boycotted that election. The election formed the Republic of Korea, established on August 15, 1948, in the South. In September, the North formed their own government and established Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
No mention of China sending their million-man army to aid the North. Are you some kind of a troll? Which one of the Koreas is a first world country and which one is a third world country? Why are your facts this twisted? Are you even Korean?
Thanks for the info dude!! I really wanted to know what happend and why they are divided
Technically, the Korean Republic was formed in 1919. It was just continued after Japan's defeat but the North boycotted it. The Korean Republic also coordinated attacks with the Korean resistance against the Japanese since 1919 has launched full offensives from the 1930s up to Japan's surrender. They were already launching offensives and defeating and clearing Japanese garrisons and were ready for a final offensive when the bomb was dropped in Hiroshima. This cancelled the planned final offensive.
who all clicked because they're kdrama fans?
Wow very dark past. "Comfort Women" that atrocious. Shame on you Japan. Still excited to visit South Korea
ろう誰だ shame on u bitch, u bring asia nazi flag aka sunrising flag on ur main image, u can get forgiveness. NO ONE COULD'VE NOT FORGIVE U EVER. AND FUCK OFF PEOPLE LIKE U BITCH
+John J I'm Korean, I want Japan to admit their war crimes, not be destroyed by earthquakes and radiation.
shame on you. It is always okay to admit your past rather than deny it with lies. That's the only think I can say to you
Ah, never ending misnomer and misleading direct translation, “Comfort” women. How are human animals so ignorant that SEX is for comfort not knowing what birds and bees know instinctively and follow through with responsibility? Bees have sex and reproduce and nurture offsprings. Birds mate and male birds (as far as I know) stay to raise offsprings without going to the court for child support.
Now human male species think sex is for comfort (or pleasure) and name female species as comfort women. And they think they can get away from reproductive responsibility for their biological children anonymously before DNA. No prevention or consequences and liability in mind after sex. Sheer ignorance and fallacy (money can be used to “buy” sex). And whoever named women CW, all others call them so like parrots. Nobody asks what happened to the pregnant women and their children? If women are over 18 (surely impregnable age) and consent, it doesn’t involve minor (another fallacy, birds and bees would identify) and it is not crime.
yes a lot of the girls were 13 years old and as soon as they were found pregnant they were executed
You forgot to mention that Korea has the world's fastest internet speed!
Also probably one of the best Subway system!
exactly!
They also got high rate in suicide coz being a workaholics... .. But s korea always a bucket list
@@Mannalon31 not because of work...students(17~19) takes up more than half of suicide rates due to bullying.The dark side of korea is as cruel as any country in the world.Students bully other students and that leads to suicide rates.
As a korean living in south Korea, thanks for introducing Korean culture in English.
Our pleasure 👌
어 한국인 찾았닼ㅋㅋ

South Korea manufactured the best cell phone in the world. I own three Samsung phones.
Bucket list..for sure
on behalf of korean, thx for putting historical facts in the video. For travelers, history might not be a big part of their interests, but it is quiet important to know some before you actually come.
thanks alux by making such a beautiful videos...... i love this channel. simply superb
You're welcome 👌
Love you Korea from India
와 ‘일본군 위안부’ 설명까지 있는거 보고 감동 받았다....
I visited last year and loved it. I want to go again. The food Is awesome!
I will visit them. Love them. Such great people
So blessed to be born in such a beautiful country. I also want to thank you for making a positive list about Korea. Most lists about South Korea always include suicide, over working, or some other depressing shit but many Koreans are still happy.
You are from South Korea so can you tell me that is South Korea save for foreigners
@@justinscarlet8881 Indeed is! Although it might be different because you can think it isn’t but it is. You can perfectly walk around at night and people there are so kind and gladly to help anyone in need. Also, violent crimes is rare. Hope this helped you and take care!
Just tell me why ur country is cheap then!
Literally 1 dollar is 1300 won!
Jus came back from South Korea.. if it isn’t on your bucket list put it on. Debating if I’m going back in 2 years or 4...💜🤗
You forgot to mention S.Korea has over 1000 Starbuck stores and have over 1,500 Mountain fortresses and temples. Mountain hiking is No.1 sport in Korea.
I love South Korea so much from Malaysia
Omg😮 😲 that was amazing I absolutely love 🇰🇷 Korea their music tv shows etc... I love it all it’s so beautiful
Amazing
Drinking game; *drink every time Samsung is mentioned*
lmao
Loved that you did that vid but I think there could have been a better top 15
Respect on history of Jeju Island!
You know... it's hard to say the country of south korea was born on a that specific date... its history is wa~~~~~y far before that. I understand where your getting that from(from after the war and being declared as a republic) but no korean would be pleased to hear that because all its history is still bound to it and the way you phrase that just sounds like its denying the fact that korea existed before that time... just sounds wrong...
Also the darkest history is when japan invaded korea.. not just jeju.. honestly what the japanese did to the korean people is one of the cruelest in all of the worlds history... the korean war, yes it was a dark time but if you ask any korean out there they would say the japanese invasion as the darkest time.. comfort women, raping, killing, and public humiliation of the queen, enormous massacres, torture, etc. The reason japan is one of the leading countries in biological war arms is because they've experimented with live korean people back in the days, they were the same if not worse than the nazis.. and the japanese still arent admitting to their wrong past.
"Republic of Korea" was born in 15th Aug 1948. So wrap up all your bullshits please.
Thanks for sharing the last videos ! Cheers !
Our pleasure.
South Korea is a must for me as well as Japan 🇯🇵 2020‼️💯
I would love have trip there someday.. My destiny is waiting for me there
Best of luck :)
Alux.com Thank you so much ❤
Most things dealt in this clip is true. The thing which I think should be added is the sea located at the east side of Korean peninsula is `East sea', which is definitely territory of South Korea, not 'Sea of Japan'. This dispute, whether the sea of east side of Korea belongs to Korea or Japan is still a huge controversy among worldwide point of view, but the fact is that east sea belongs to Korea not Japan.
Great content
An excellent job in a better team with the best of the best possible in a better team with more comfort
Nice video. I'd like to clarify a couple of things which may not be so apparent from this video. Korea has a recorded history of 2000 years and a cultural history of 5000 years. So, while it is true that the current iteration of the country divides the country in to north and south, prior to 1945, it was just one country. Which brings me to the second point. The Korean War was a proxy war between USSR and the USA. After Japan annexed Korea in 1910, Korea struggled for independence but still retained its solidarity. After the end of WW2, Stalin was the monster who personally trained and equipped Kim Il Sung to conquer Korea in his ambition to spread communism to all of Asia. USA was determined to stop him. It was literally two giants fighting it out in Korea with the Korean people taking the brunt of the damage. In other words, the division of Korea is a product of the Cold War and all the people of Korea are merely victims.
Did you also know that South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world (highest for women, third highest for men)? Although it may seem like a booming country with innovation and luxury goods, its citizens are deeply unsatisfied and depressed on the inside. This saddens me as a Korean citizen myself.
Yeah because of the shit load of studying lmao
I'm so proud to be Korean!!
I love this video wow
Korean and Japanese food is tooooo delicious and I feel like eating it right now
Love from india to south korea🇮🇳❤️🇰🇷
I was looking for this before I came to Korea. To my surprise you published this on the same day I came. LoL! Thanks, Alux. I’m a fan. I’m an Aluxer.
And today is South Korea's Independence Day.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
that last one.....a theme park...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I had not visited the south korea
Are there more tourist spots to visit south korea?
Want to add that South Koreans win the democracy on their own in 1987 by protesting!
I’ve been waiting for you guys to do a video on my birth country! 감사합니다!!! 😀
How'd you find the video?!
Alux.com 해복해요 (haengbokaeyo) - which means “I’m happy”. 😀 My only small complaint: it’s pronounced “HyeonDAE”, not “He-yeon-DAI”. Other than than that, you did great! 😀👏 감사합니다 (gamsahanida) - Thank you!
Alux.com Oh and the family name “Choi” sounds like “Choi” in the Western world, but it’s actually pronounced “Chwe” when you read it in Hangul lettering.
I just started subscribing to you
South Korea is on my bucket list
It's a perfect video to show to my friends who don't know about my country quite well but still wanna know about it
Thumbs up 4 u 👍 the only channel that tells the truth about s.korea (unlike other videos whose only spreading bullshits n lies 👎
As someone who knows how to pronounce Samsung and Hyundai correctly since i speak Korean and my mother tounge has almost the same pronouncation of this word... i always laugh when i hear native English people saying Samsung and Hyundai the way they say
1:51 "Number 1, South Korea claimed its independence. In 1950, South Korea took its independence and because of this proclamation, and on June 26th of the same year, North Korea invaded."
This is terrible English, it contained incorrect facts explicitly and further suggests incorrect things. I don't even know where to start to point things out.
1. Do people find the use of "and"s in the second sentence natural?
2. Saying "South Korea claimed its independence" may not be wrong, but it's missing the key information and indirect object, namely who it claimed its independence from. The sentences that follow make it sound like Sourth Korea seceded from North Korea by claiming independence from North Korea. More on that in 5 below.
3. South Korea did not take independence in 1950. The entirety of Korea was liberated from Japan in 1945. South Korea's first government was established in 1948 (and I won't get into the whole provisional government thing, which is a politically sensitive issue in South Korea), with North Korea's government being established 4 months after that.
4. it says "in 1950, South Korea took its independence and because of this proclamation...", but "taking independence" is not "proclamation" better sentence would be "in 1950, South Korea took its independence and because of this..."
5. As already alluded to above, North Korea did not invade South Korea because South Korea claimed independence from North Korea. If anything it is Soviet-led North Korea that refused to join in the nation wide election to form a single government for the entire Korea that solidified the division, forming its own government 4 months after South did (as discussed above) so if anything, one might say it's North Korea that seceded from (the Entire) Korea.
Given the abysmal state the first couple of sentences of the substantive part of the video is in, I won't bother watching the rest, but just wanted to point these out.
Edit: Couldn't resist and watched a little bit more - Why do you talk about 50% of all Samsung cell phones being made in Vietnam? What is that statistic's relevance to the fact that South Korea's economy is booming? I mean, if you were saying something along the line of "Samsung/South Korea produces 50% of all the cell phones being produced in the world" then I can see that as a piece of statistic that supports the idea that South Korea has a strong economy and maybe technology. But what point are you trying to make by saying Samsung makes 50% of its cell phones in Vietnam?
And another nitpick on English, when you say that an "economy is booming", that conveys the sense of an economy that is doing well in a short term. I think what you really meant to say is that Korea has a strong long term economy, which isn't properly conveyed by saying "They are known for their booming economy".
"And between the two plants there, they have combined an annual 240 million units." - You mean "And between the two plants there, they have a combined annual 'production/output' of 240 million units" or some such?
My apologies, I promise I really won't watch the rest of the video.
I am so glad to see this video about this country that I love so much. First time in 2011, for 10 days, I participated to the 4th high Level forum on aid effectiveness which took place at Busan. The second time, from 2014-2015 (13 months), I was there for a master degree in international cooperation for development
Timestamps for anyone who needs it
1. 1:52 South Korea gained its independence
Always on my bucket list coz I'm a technology enthusiast myself
Faker one of the well known pro gamer of demonstration sports. And Korea ruling League of Legends.
The last info (16) is just mind-blowing!! :D
South korea independent in my birthday yasss.
Yes it was on my backlist for the past two years
on BUCKETLIST hell ya and 16th facts was truely amazing !
My favourite country on Earth. Will move there in the foreseeable future
17. They have Red Velvet
I have been there in a conference in 2012, first Asian country I have visited, loved it, and want to go back.
If u visit Korea go to 민속촌, 롯데월드, 에버랜드, 홍대, 명동 etc If u really want to have fun...
*who else are kpop fans here?*
I am here 😀😀😀😀
Park Chimchim not a kpop fan but an army
Me
저요오오오
Park Chimchim exooooo
South Korea also have hyundai
also comfort women did not involve any women who knowing volunteered for serving sex to japanese soldiers. they were told that they would be paid a salary by doing jobs, but instead they were forced to have sex with tens of japanese soldiers in a single day. if japanese openly sought for sex slaves and some women did really volunteer as sex slaves, there is no way why japan denied its very existence for so long. also, sex slave is more correct than "comfort women." this term was used by the japanese government to downplay the horrible deeds that happened in WWII
hello I'm southkorean my countries very good
lov you alux.com 😍😍😍
Thank you 💙
Samsung does all these things and they are yet not a trillion dollar company , but that stupid apple is , I don't get it how
Hideika , aah I get it now but still
Apple sells there product for a hefty price
USA is more culturally diverse and more open to foreign investments and so it is easier for Apple to get foreign funds to buy and invest in it for further development and much easier for Apple as an American company to get foreign talents from all over the world
...
South Korea is great economically but the USA is much multicultural environment attracting and developing very diverse talents from immigrants coming from all over the world combining the best ...
its because apple did a hell of a job locking their customers in their environment
Apple is worth 148 billion as of this year, not trillion. You should look up Samsung's net worth. I don't think this video is correct.
Am I the only Korean subsciber?
Whether you are or not we're happy to have you! What did you think of the video?!
Alux.com it was great! I learned some new information about my country😄
Here is another
나도 한국인임
Meeee
Damnnn i should go to that park😂,can you please do a video about lebanon now?😍🙂
You should do 10 of the worlds biggest events like edc or ultra music festivals Coachella
you forgot the fact that south korea has the largest church in the world by numbers.. 800,000
south korea's eradication of illiteracy is not really due to intense education, but much more due to the simplicity of "hangeul," the korean alphabet invented in 15th century. everyone can learn how to read and write in matter of hours, probably a day at longest (and i'm serious, ive taught some of my american friends). of course, in terms of speaking, i think it's one of the hardest to learn, but still amazing that you can learn to read/write so fast
yes it is my dream country, still on my bucket list, wont mind getting an oppa from there also
I think it is the only video clip in English with right informations about South Korea, which I've ever watched in RUclips!!
no its not, South Korea did not gain independence on 17 aug, its 15
수얀전 sorry I didn't check the date exactly but I meant the overall of this video
Can i expect a video on north korea as well??
Okay
Please do 15 things about Japan!!!!!
I live in Hawaii and many Japanese come here every day for vacation and many people here go visit japan
White Snow what are you talking about?
Thanks Alux for the kind introduction of Korea. Few things to correct - Mr. Lee, Keonhee is second generation not third. And the picture you showed as him presenting on a stage is not him.
FASCINATING COUNTRY
And the peninsula was a homeland of all tigers.
Try doing 10 biggest car groups around the world
Guys. You are doing something wrong.. I mean a lot of people here I can bet. Don't do anything but they only dream.. And if you have enough time to watch this video when they post it .. You are on the wrong path.. Alux is a great source of entertainment and learning new things. But. You won't be better only by watching this videos. Go out there and do something
plz do video on new Zealand, mexico n peru.
I love hard working people like
12:14-17 that's the reason they look so good , I get it now I thought they were naturally awesome , you let me down men
Love the 16th FACT!!
Sichuan food didnt boom here. Dont know where you got that. Afaik it was Korean food that trended in China so much.
Yes.
Korea gained their independence on August 15, 1945. Aluxer has a wrong information on our independence date. Even before the 40's Koreans have revolted agaisnt teh japanese and many people sacrificed in order to reclaim their nation from Japan.
i want to be a korean singer
Loved your video! Btw, the person who killed park-geunhye's mother is not actually a north-korean assassin..anyway, very informative!
👌
Where is taekwondo
