I spent a total of two years stationed in Korea. If you REALLY want to experience Korea (or any other destination country), give the larger places a small part of your time and get out into the countryside. The mass transit system in Korea is very efficient and allows one to easily do so. Overall, the people outside the big cities are more hospitable and you get a much better feel for the historical culture. Korea is a very hilly country and Koreans do like to hike among the hills and mountains. Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK. I loved my time in Korea.
WHEN HE SAID IN MOST PART OF ASIA PEOPLE DONT TALK IN TRAIN ITS DISRESPECTFUL I WAS LITTERALY LAUGHING SO HARD AS BECAUSE IT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO NOT TALK IN TRAIN IN INDIA
Same for black people strolling on the streets. Just because I'm black doesn't mean i can dance or you can touch my hair without permission... just saying
Precious Omoleye same for Latinas strolling on the streets just because am latina does not mean am a person that knows how to dance cook professionally and is insane and dance sexy!
There's a few mistakes in this video. 1. Talking in subway for example, it's allowed to speak or have a quick phone call; just be sure not to be loud enough to disturb other people. 2. Tipping isn't required but it is appreciated here. Even I sometimes tip the waiter if he or she served me nice. 3. Getting into fight is never a good idea, but there's no way Koreans are always unguilty. And even if the foreigners get into trouble, they are sent to jails for foreigners only, where prisoners there are treated a lot better than the prison where locals go. But as I said, avoiding trouble is smart anytime and anywhere. 4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head.
"4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head." utter hogwash. Its done all the time, I've been there for close to a year.
@@maxabeles well I guess u move during busy hours only. Cause I don't have such experiences except in subway during early morning and late night times, when people going to work or going back to home..
1. it's ok to talk in bus or train as long as you keep your voice low 2. you don't have to drink to socialize with people. you can just tell them you can't drink and they understand and accept you. You can still join their party and have fun. all you may have to do is just pretend to sip and join their cheers. 3. DO NOT steal or rob you'll get caught 99%. there's cctv almost every public place and korean police are highly capable. Also it's NOT true that foreigners are at disadvantage in the fight with Koreans because cctvs and blackboxes can easily identify who's at fault.
@@jiminlosthisjams8386 Just tell them you don't drink for religious reasons and ordinary koreans understand it and wont ask you again but they may not invite you to join their social drinking gathering and may go to a cafe when they meet you.
SY Nam - I think it’s better to find your own way to be a part of the celebrations without drinking. If it really doesn’t work out then I just won’t agree to hangouts involving liquor :P
The train is a public space, and it is a manner for us to keep it quiet inside it. We can talk, but if we talk loudly or shout inside, its considered as not respecting others And no personal space means that its just crowded... there is no need for us to be quiet outside! I think he just chose the wrong word lol 😂
As a Korean, thoughts on this list... 1. You can politely decline if you don’t drink or have health issues - you don’t have to. 4. You can talk on the subways. It’s not Japan. Ain’t nobody gonna scold you. ( Also why the heck are you using Japanese b-roll? All your shots are of the inside of a Japanese subway. ) 7. You can get into fights with a korean, just don’t hit em. If they hit you, you’re entitled to a nice settlement. Just don’t hit anyone. If you hit each other, it favors who’s hurt more. 10. (Again use of Japanese b-roll... come on man, you couldn’t even get the country right?) 11. Pronounced “jung” and this point was irrelevant to travel tbh. You don’t have to share your bowl of soup or your street food... ain’t nobody gonna take bite out of my meat stick after I already slobbered all over it.. just sayin ;)
this youtuber really thinks we are stupid... tf.. he's exaggerating almost everything... I dont know much about korean culture yet I know most are so distractingly misleading... but I still hate korean's drinking habits plus the throwing up vomiting on the streets etc... like its feel dangerous at night even with cctv... because you can always get hit by a drunkard and thats not cool... regardless, every culture and place got their positive and negative... its just that I'm commenting because I hate the misleading and exaggeration of information
@@piparasol2483 Getting hit by drunkard is very hard to experience even though korean knows that their own country is the safest country on the world and feel safe to drink hard on midnight as somebody will even help u if u are fainted by alcohol in the middle of the streets. I felt that vommiting on streets are mostly from freshman of university students who doent have much idea to control his or her alcohol limit (or maybe some older generations who lives a harsh life).
I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip
Totally agree that in Korea people are more relaxed about 'the rules' than Japanese people. Easier to make friends in Korea... more Korean people will have studied abroad and will be used to foreigners... I found Japanese people are tightly shut, which is hard to break into as a foreigner.
bruh there’s a difference. it’s a very crowded country so don’t take it personally if you get shoved. but at the same time you have to be respectful when you’re one on one with someone.
@mk you my friend have never lived in a crowded city before. you bump into people 24/7 and it's nothing special that's worth an apology. it's a mutual understanding that you're both busy and it was an accident.
@mk bruh you haven't been in our subways. Ur literally gonna be so squished in there in the mornings, you can barely breathe until you shove people out of the way to get to the door. You are not going to have time to apologize to 40 people before getting out, and if you are just throwing random sorrys, you are being insincere. Just let it go.

I want to go to South Korea for everything especially to meet the BTS Members it’s been my dream to meet them and go to South Korea 🇰🇷 i we’ll make my dreams come true one day 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
When i went to south korea in 2013, i had so much difficulties in communicating with korean esp when im asking for direction. But last year, i found it is so easy to communicate with them. Korean had changed a lot since then. They can understand and reply english well. They are so heartwarming and very helpful to tourists. Look forward to repeat my korea trip again in future 😄. I love the foods there
It's always good to learn the language of the country you're visiting. I've noticed that most westerners, don't really bother to learn language of other countries, simply because in most Asian countries they're able to speak English. Korea and Japan are one of the only developed nations who don't focus that much on English overall. But then again, if you're even 30+ then just forget about learning Korean, or for that matter any other language. hahaha. Wish you lots of luck for your next trip. One of my Korean friend told me that generally they don't prefer to speak to foreigner, since they straight out start speaking English with them, but because their shy bunch, they speak nicely to outsiders, rather than showing the bad side of their nation.
Hahahaha didn’t expect jeong tbh, this is a very accurate video. I guess jeong is much important and is needed to be taught to people more detailed! 😊👍🏻

All you need to do is use your common sense. Koreans are among the most understanding people in the world to travelers. This don't list would have applied to korean Americans in 90s. Young generations are more self oriented and individualist than westerners - proudly - and Extremely anti-confucious.
@@noaheverett7347 that's like saying Christian values are a critical part of American life. Apparently, most Americans don't live as pious Christians. Koreans deem confucianism as sth that has been holding back its civilization from the dynasty era dating back 100 years. It's pure capitalism that has shaped the nation facing the north's communism, a reason why the country has achieved a fast economic growth. Korean immigrants in other countries celebrate the old values to protect their identity. What they perceive as Korean culture is outdated as hell.
I'm actually proud of myself knowing most of these rules, in actually studying words and rules for my dream cause I always want to go to South Korea they have a unique language and wonderful culture!
I’m Korean, I do not agree with the video, some points are right however on the title 11 things not to do in Seoul, South Korea? WTF u talking about he is talking specific area of korea and not to do? I don’t understand mate
I wanna go to south korea not only kpop idols but I just wanna see their culture, taste their food, see some art and just explore everything even the bathrooms if possible😂😂😂
Hey @ladybug I am dying to go korea nd wanna see their culture nd taste their food as u said am just planning on dec .. but I am waiting to get travel partner
Korea is truly a culture of respect. This reminds me as a Filipino, how Westernized the Philippines is as we give tips, can drink without tilting our heads away from Elders, Filipinos get the waiters attention by raising our hand. The one thing common is the sharing of food which Filipinos love to do. Filipinos by and large, would, when eating, whether alone or in a group invite anyone who happens to approach the one who is eating whether friend or stranger, invite them to eat with the Words “Kain tayo”.
But was it ever like that in the Philippines? I mean, was it in the past part of your culture to look in another direction while drinking? I am sure there are a lot of unique traditions you have had over there. :)
I am in korea studying high school welp I am Korean but here's a tip your Korean language needs to be fluent 2 find a part time job It's really harder than you thought you have to study korean fluently I am Korean but I used to live in america I am half american and half korean so when I was young I only knew how to speak English and now ik korean not really fluent but I'm trying my best to get better
@Mama Mia Ima joking yes it is hard but if you hear korean 24/7 it became a bit easier when you see k-dramas sometimes focus on the hand/face movements and gues what there saying without looking at the subtitles
honestly 10. is quite important. its a really rude thing that you get taught whene youre like 3 , but people tend to understand it because they are foreigners and stuff. if you want to respect Korean culture, don't do it :I
as a korean, I think I can give you some sense of which of these advices are important, and which are not. 1. Ppl will let you know how to drink. they'll be happy if you follow the proper rules, needless to be bothered much. 2. I don't care. 3. important. I don't care, but you might feel quite incomfortable, and some eldies might be mad at you. 4. trains and subways are usually quiet. 5. 6. + if you call them '이모(imo)', they'll like it. 7. one of the fastest ways to spoil your trip. don't fight 8. 9. who cares. there was such superstition long time ago, and koreans know it, but we don't actually believe it. 10. useful, but not necessary 11. If you share things, they'll like it. But don't force others to share things. ppl tends to be more self-centered these days, so they might not like it. 12. + ppl usually hate japan and china. talking about neighboring countries are not welcomed. I don't care, but some of us do care a lot
Dont mean to insult but, if they ‘hate’ japan or china, what about idols from those country? Such as G idle have Yuqi, twice have japanese members, and etc. i’m just curious
Just came back from Korea about 2 weeks ago as my first time trip. This is from MY experience. It is true that people will bump into you and not apologize. They won’t say thank you even if you hold open the door for them, more likely just stare at you. The subway seating is VERY strict. DO NOT sit in the elderly reserved spots. The elderly people tend to be harsh and quite rude there, unless it’s the ones at the mart trying to sell you stuff. In general, people are very to themselves and most people I’ve asked for help always stared at me like why am I talking to them kinda thing. However, I have bumped into nicer people willing to help so not everyone is like that, guess depends on your luck? If anyone has any questions, let me know. I’m not korean so this is only based on my experiences as a tourist in Korea.
It is simple to know Koreans. They only know how to see people above and below themselves. When they apologize, it is only when they pose a threat to themselves.
Despite possible misunderstandings I really like what you’re doing with this channel. The fact that you do this on your own is pretty impressive. I don’t know if I would have the courage. Keep showing us the world Cal. 🙌🏾
William Stearns And people do talk in trains they just keep it quiet. It’s a etiqquete in a way that they try not to bother others. But not related to physical personal space.
When I watched a video of Bts eating at a Korean bbq for the first time I found it weird that they were all sharing their meals together. You would never see that in America, I found that pretty cool!
Yeah, I agree with the sharing part. My Korean friend was actually proud to give me tips on how to eat, extra info and background on the various meals. You are on a journey and they will act like your personal guide. Awesome people
I love Korea very much, it's a great country, friendly people, very civilized and very advanced with that awesome mix of the traditional that makes it so charming. The temptation for me to stay and live there is very strong.
Depends on the train you are taking. On longer train rides you can pay for standing room or seat. I gave my seat to an elderly lady and sat in between the cars on the stairs. Behind me were 3 elderly Korean men eating and sharing shots of beer OB. They invited me over and we had a good old time! Don’t be afraid to learn the culture folks it’s a beautiful country, amazing food and friendly people.
I've lived in korea for 17 years and never has anyone called me out for placing my chopstick inside the rice. The whole chopstick in rice thing only applies for Japan and is not considered rude in Korea.
korea tourism videos are going to explode this summer. so much pent up ps and travel demand with limited destinations that have minimal quarantine restrictions. I also expect engagements and weddings to surge as well. staying at home by yourself most of the time has been super boring and we don't know how long the pandemic will span. spending time with loved ones makes sure every moment is still worth it.
I got to say, these are pretty good tips for new people to my second language country, as a Korean and half Canadian, i HAVE to show my friends your videos, there dying to go to Korea after corona is gone. great job :>

Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK.
I loved my time in Korea.
Me: Knowing that I'll never be able to go to korea
Still me : watching what should I not do in korea!

12. You'll never get to see your idols in the streets
Running into idols is actually fairly common since Korea is not that big, if you enjoy nightlife alot they are a common sight
Me: Lives in Seoul.
Also me: Has ran into many kpop idols
There’s videos of where people met idols in streets lol
you might depending on where you are
it’s not a reason to go though
literally we know that already. in america there are slim chances of seeing beyoncé in walmart, so it’s practically the same situation anywhere else
Who the hell uses a red pen?? besides a teacher...
Me , sometimes we are checking the paper using red
My mum always told me to never write in red pen. I only ever used it in school sometimes to check work
I personally love writing with an ink pen lol
Students use it too for corecting their classmates in my school

Korea is basically a shit hole. The society is very judgemental, hypocritic, narcississt etc.
Love how every one respects each other
There's a few mistakes in this video.
1. Talking in subway for example, it's allowed to speak or have a quick phone call; just be sure not to be loud enough to disturb other people.
2. Tipping isn't required but it is appreciated here. Even I sometimes tip the waiter if he or she served me nice.
3. Getting into fight is never a good idea, but there's no way Koreans are always unguilty. And even if the foreigners get into trouble, they are sent to jails for foreigners only, where prisoners there are treated a lot better than the prison where locals go. But as I said, avoiding trouble is smart anytime and anywhere.
4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head.
"4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head." utter hogwash. Its done all the time, I've been there for close to a year.
@@maxabeles well I guess u move during busy hours only. Cause I don't have such experiences except in subway during early morning and late night times, when people going to work or going back to home..
정확한 설명👍👍👍
koreans have dodging skills, and you shall master it too if wanna have a walk in Seoul
Thank you for your adds.. it is true what you said.. I’m in Seoul for a while
1. it's ok to talk in bus or train as long as you keep your voice low
2. you don't have to drink to socialize with people. you can just tell them you can't drink and they understand and accept you. You can still join their party and have fun. all you may have to do is just pretend to sip and join their cheers.
3. DO NOT steal or rob you'll get caught 99%. there's cctv almost every public place and korean police are highly capable. Also it's NOT true that foreigners are at disadvantage in the fight with Koreans because cctvs and blackboxes can easily identify who's at fault.
But I'm a Muslim, so I can't even pretend to sip. So how should I say to people in Korea that I can't drink ?
@@jiminlosthisjams8386 Just tell them you don't drink for religious reasons and ordinary koreans understand it and wont ask you again but they may not invite you to join their social drinking gathering and may go to a cafe when they meet you.
SY Nam - I think it’s better to find your own way to be a part of the celebrations without drinking. If it really doesn’t work out then I just won’t agree to hangouts involving liquor :P
Superior Beast yeah, that’s what they said; instead of inviting you to drinking events, they’ll invite you to stuff that won’t involve drinking
Zahara tinwala i drink soda with friends since I too not drink liquor.
Trains: respect other personal space
8: no personal space
Dafuq
that's what I notice 💀
The train is a public space, and it is a manner for us to keep it quiet inside it. We can talk, but if we talk loudly or shout inside, its considered as not respecting others
And no personal space means that its just crowded... there is no need for us to be quiet outside!
I think he just chose the wrong word lol 😂
@@yeyounglee4769 tankue for clarifying
RIGHTT like in all these korean dramas, the buses are so god dayum full u can barely breathe
"Dont talk on trains"
Me: I'm quiet as fu-
As a Korean, thoughts on this list...
1. You can politely decline if you don’t drink or have health issues - you don’t have to.
4. You can talk on the subways. It’s not Japan. Ain’t nobody gonna scold you.
( Also why the heck are you using Japanese b-roll? All your shots are of the inside of a Japanese subway. )
7. You can get into fights with a korean, just don’t hit em. If they hit you, you’re entitled to a nice settlement. Just don’t hit anyone. If you hit each other, it favors who’s hurt more.
10. (Again use of Japanese b-roll... come on man, you couldn’t even get the country right?)
11. Pronounced “jung” and this point was irrelevant to travel tbh. You don’t have to share your bowl of soup or your street food... ain’t nobody gonna take bite out of my meat stick after I already slobbered all over it.. just sayin ;)
Thank u....about the drink....it's important....coz i can't drink......
this youtuber really thinks we are stupid... tf.. he's exaggerating almost everything... I dont know much about korean culture yet I know most are so distractingly misleading... but I still hate korean's drinking habits plus the throwing up vomiting on the streets etc... like its feel dangerous at night even with cctv... because you can always get hit by a drunkard and thats not cool...
regardless, every culture and place got their positive and negative... its just that I'm commenting because I hate the misleading and exaggeration of information
@@piparasol2483 Getting hit by drunkard is very hard to experience even though korean knows that their own country is the safest country on the world and feel safe to drink hard on midnight as somebody will even help u if u are fainted by alcohol in the middle of the streets. I felt that vommiting on streets are mostly from freshman of university students who doent have much idea to control his or her alcohol limit (or maybe some older generations who lives a harsh life).

I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip
Totally agree that in Korea people are more relaxed about 'the rules' than Japanese people. Easier to make friends in Korea... more Korean people will have studied abroad and will be used to foreigners... I found Japanese people are tightly shut, which is hard to break into as a foreigner.

THIS WAS THREE YEARS AGO BUT SEEING HIM W/O A MASK WAS LIKE “ayo where yo mask at?”
Koreans: Showing Respect is a must.
Also Koreans: Pushing, Shoving and elbowing is to be expected and not considered rude?
Me: 😑
bruh there’s a difference. it’s a very crowded country so don’t take it personally if you get shoved. but at the same time you have to be respectful when you’re one on one with someone.
@mk you my friend have never lived in a crowded city before. you bump into people 24/7 and it's nothing special that's worth an apology. it's a mutual understanding that you're both busy and it was an accident.
@mk bruh you haven't been in our subways. Ur literally gonna be so squished in there in the mornings, you can barely breathe until you shove people out of the way to get to the door. You are not going to have time to apologize to 40 people before getting out, and if you are just throwing random sorrys, you are being insincere. Just let it go.
it’s crowded af if they are going to say sorry to every single person they pushed accidentally, their voice would be gone before long lol
The duality....
Need to accept a drink:
Me: *is a Muslim*
(Just gonna put it out there that I'm a Muslim in Malaysia and not in the Middle East region, so Idk what's going there)
@Hello Muslims can't drink alcohol, it's forbidden cause it intoxicate us 😅
😹 😹 😹
Yes, you are right. I am also a muslim.
You can tell them no and say it's against your religion and they will respect that. They will just give you shots of water.
I'd be having trouble about that as well coz I'm literally allergic to alcohol. I turn red and my skin becomes itchy af after a shot

I’m interested in Korean culture and the language
When i went to south korea in 2013, i had so much difficulties in communicating with korean esp when im asking for direction. But last year, i found it is so easy to communicate with them. Korean had changed a lot since then. They can understand and reply english well. They are so heartwarming and very helpful to tourists. Look forward to repeat my korea trip again in future 😄. I love the foods there

@@cuteyoongiboi1195 woww... All the best for you!!!
Please tell some best places to visit in South Korea as I am planning to visit this year
It's always good to learn the language of the country you're visiting. I've noticed that most westerners, don't really bother to learn language of other countries, simply because in most Asian countries they're able to speak English. Korea and Japan are one of the only developed nations who don't focus that much on English overall. But then again, if you're even 30+ then just forget about learning Korean, or for that matter any other language. hahaha. Wish you lots of luck for your next trip. One of my Korean friend told me that generally they don't prefer to speak to foreigner, since they straight out start speaking English with them, but because their shy bunch, they speak nicely to outsiders, rather than showing the bad side of their nation.
I don’t mean you have to speak 100%. But why don’t you study Korean when you visit to KOREA.

Seoul TV I thought Confucianism was a very important part of Korean culture, what do you mean?
@@noaheverett7347 that's like saying Christian values are a critical part of American life. Apparently, most Americans don't live as pious Christians. Koreans deem confucianism as sth that has been holding back its civilization from the dynasty era dating back 100 years. It's pure capitalism that has shaped the nation facing the north's communism, a reason why the country has achieved a fast economic growth.
Korean immigrants in other countries celebrate the old values to protect their identity. What they perceive as Korean culture is outdated as hell.

Korea is truly a culture of respect. This reminds me as a Filipino, how Westernized the Philippines is as we give tips, can drink without tilting our heads away from Elders, Filipinos get the waiters attention by raising our hand. The one thing common is the sharing of food which Filipinos love to do. Filipinos by and large, would, when eating, whether alone or in a group invite anyone who happens to approach the one who is eating whether friend or stranger, invite them to eat with the Words “Kain tayo”.
But was it ever like that in the Philippines? I mean, was it in the past part of your culture to look in another direction while drinking? I am sure there are a lot of unique traditions you have had over there. :)
Tipping is one thing I won't do especially food.

as a korean, I think I can give you some sense of which of these advices are important, and which are not.
1. Ppl will let you know how to drink. they'll be happy if you follow the proper rules, needless to be bothered much.
2. I don't care.
3. important. I don't care, but you might feel quite incomfortable, and some eldies might be mad at you.
4. trains and subways are usually quiet.
5.
6. + if you call them '이모(imo)', they'll like it.
7. one of the fastest ways to spoil your trip. don't fight
8.
9. who cares. there was such superstition long time ago, and koreans know it, but we don't actually believe it.
10. useful, but not necessary
11. If you share things, they'll like it. But don't force others to share things. ppl tends to be more self-centered these days, so they might not like it.
12. + ppl usually hate japan and china. talking about neighboring countries are not welcomed. I don't care, but some of us do care a lot
Thanks for the information ♡♡
Good info.
Dont mean to insult but, if they ‘hate’ japan or china, what about idols from those country? Such as G idle have Yuqi, twice have japanese members, and etc. i’m just curious

Thanks!!👍👍
Just came back from Korea about 2 weeks ago as my first time trip. This is from MY experience. It is true that people will bump into you and not apologize. They won’t say thank you even if you hold open the door for them, more likely just stare at you. The subway seating is VERY strict. DO NOT sit in the elderly reserved spots. The elderly people tend to be harsh and quite rude there, unless it’s the ones at the mart trying to sell you stuff. In general, people are very to themselves and most people I’ve asked for help always stared at me like why am I talking to them kinda thing. However, I have bumped into nicer people willing to help so not everyone is like that, guess depends on your luck? If anyone has any questions, let me know. I’m not korean so this is only based on my experiences as a tourist in Korea.
It is simple to know Koreans. They only know how to see people above and below themselves. When they apologize, it is only when they pose a threat to themselves.
Thanks, Cal. This video was super informative!! (and, I appreciate the additional rules left in the comments!) :D
you are most welcome to korea. just don't go up north. :-)

I love Korea very much, it's a great country, friendly people, very civilized and very advanced with that awesome mix of the traditional that makes it so charming. The temptation for me to stay and live there is very strong.
Wat bout north korean
I agree South Korea 🇰🇷 is a good country and a safe country to visit

@@LovethOlayemi their people im sure are similarly friendly or even more friendlier than south, but the problem is their government.

“Always receive things with both hands!”
people who vlogging that have camera.😭
Depends on the train you are taking. On longer train rides you can pay for standing room or seat. I gave my seat to an elderly lady and sat in between the cars on the stairs. Behind me were 3 elderly Korean men eating and sharing shots of beer OB. They invited me over and we had a good old time! Don’t be afraid to learn the culture folks it’s a beautiful country, amazing food and friendly people.
I know korea very well and some of this is very very wrong
Yeah. true.
I've lived in korea for 17 years and never has anyone called me out for placing my chopstick inside the rice. The whole chopstick in rice thing only applies for Japan and is not considered rude in Korea.
why am i watching this when i don't have enough money to go there😂
same here🤣
korea tourism videos are going to explode this summer. so much pent up ps and travel demand with limited destinations that have minimal quarantine restrictions. I also expect engagements and weddings to surge as well. staying at home by yourself most of the time has been super boring and we don't know how long the pandemic will span. spending time with loved ones makes sure every moment is still worth it.
Juste be yourself and be respectful that's it 🤦♂️
I ain't going to Korea anytime soon but still I am watching this instead of charging my phone which is on 2% WOW
Bts
nah im korean, i write in red.
@Personal Jesus Yoo don't use the name of the Lord in vain
For underlining record headlines👉👈
Are you in prison now?😂...
Me too. I don’t mind to write my name in red but I won’t do that with others name tho.
I was stationed there for two years with the US Air Force and we got briefed about almost all of these early on. Good tips!
"Jeong" (정) is bonding, or a bond between close friends.
I know I'm an ARMY, but I really want to visit Korea to see the beautiful tourist spots💓💞💕
