So there's no way I pronounced "Jeong" correctly but it was worth a shot :D If you enjoyed the video let me know!
Also check out my website for a full list of recommendations on what you SHOULD do! www.golocaltips.com/seoul
and yes, some of the train footage I used is from my trip to Japan not Korea (I ran out of train footage unfortunately) but I hope you can forgive me!

I am a Korean-American in New York.
Jeong,...정 is what you mean and is pronounced more like J sound adding before YOUNG (YOUTH).
you could spell JUNG but not joong.
정 is a connection between individuals of many relationship. It is very hard to explain...
Also you mixed lots of Japanese clips and Korean clips.
You are 80% wrong. It looks like you traveled to Korea once, and read the internet ...then made this video using clips from Japan. I recommend consulting actual expats and Koreans...before making shit up. Everyone I have shown this video too is pissed off. My Korean wife, My Korean family, My Korean students, My expat friends that live in Korea.
Cal McKinley. Now all I need to know is how to speak other languages and I'm set
Fairly true, but not entirely accurate. If you're interested in the Korean culture, look no further than ktown LA... So many koreans there, though diluted and integrated with American culture.
Cal McKinley it’s just prnoucned as “jong”
Rule Number 12 : *DON'T GO TO KOREA THINKING THAT EVERYONE THERE LOOKS LIKE BTS AND BLACKPINK*
Edit : I commented this like 1-2yrs ago ig. It looks and sounds so cringey and ignorant now. Disappointed in my in old self.
No, but the ones I've fucked in my own country DO!👍
Well they don’t all look like them but korean people are on average very good looking (even more compared to other Asian countries)
well i’m korean and visited the states and NEVER THOUGHT PEOPLE THERE LOOK LIKE TRUMP AND KARDASHIAN
@@michaelyester 😅
Agreed as korean
rule 12: *DON'T CALL EVERYONE OPPA OR UNNIE*

Thank you I plan on going to South Korea to study then maybe live there I guess
Angam oppa!
How many armys are here expecting to go to South Korea but your still studying
Its me indeed
Lol 🤣 here
😂😂
bts biot
Lol me 🙋😂
12. Don't try to find ur idols on the street by shouting "yoongi oppa where are u??"
puran dhungana LMAO
xD 😂 my idol is in China so lol
I’m gonna do that. It’s worth trying
I don't live in korean but still did that 😂😂
Kayla good luck to you!
I love how a lot of people assume k-pop fans wanna go to Korea in hopes of magically finding a korean guy that looks like Jimin. I just wanna go for the food....
EDIT: In other words we should all just go to Korea and say fuck other people’s opinions 🗿
SAME
I dont mind the first one but strangely all i expect from a trip to Korea is to eat a lot of tteokbokki and japchae
@@Chaerinbad and bulgogi. I would even consider dumping a Jimin-lookalike for good bulgogi. Priorities, right?
I just wanna look at culture and buy food and cute things
I wanna go there to see the culture but then people think I’m a koreaboo 😔
Most important rule, don’t go on the streets and start screaming “J-HOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEE”
lmao
mhm lolol
LMAO 🤣
Jhope?
oh hello there Hitman Bang-
"Don't talk on trains" This- as an introvert, I approve of this.
100% :') Fucking hell in my country generally people won't but every now and then there's that one person that just has to come sit next to you and have a conversation then pretending like you're the dick for not participating :') Would be nice if public opinion supports that he's the dick for talking to me lmao.
haha lol same in an introvert too n I rlly appreciate that ppl don't talk on train in korea
@@reznovvazileski3193 easy, it’s ok. They’re not there anymore. Deep breaths
When you will never go to Korean but still watch these stuff....
I’m going :)
ohh lucky you! have fun ☺💜
what can I do?. I just stumble here..
Landon Passion have fun! 💜
BTS JK ikr
I'm Korean why am I watching this
Same.... I'm asking myself
Bcos he talk's about ur country
😂
is it true what he sais in the video?
@PechoHundido69 Obviously not everything on this video true! A lot of these rules are exaggerated. I mean, never write someone's name in red ink? I think that's a flat out joke to most Korean people. The only thing I would agree with is don't get into a fight rule, not because the legal system is super biased toward Koreans, but because the process gets really messy when violence is involved even for Koreans.
I would say none of these rules are NEVER dos really...you can talk on a train/you don't have to share if you don't want to/it can be super crowded in certain places but it doesn't mean you will be walking with millions of people surrounding you everytime/leaving a tip won't make people mad..I can go on and talk about every single rule. But you know these rules could be helpful for you to be a little more considerate towards people n Korea, but they are not obligatory nor expected from foreigners.
This is just a youtube video created by a non-Korean, so take it with a grain of salt and don't let these rules ruin your trip to Korea!! I would rather look for tips to enjoy Korea more!
"don't talk in trains"? my introverted ass loves that
"Dont talk on trains"
Me: I'm quiet as fu-
12- Don’t go to Korea just to see BTS
*Go hide in the corner and feel embarrassed*
Bangtan kookies lol
Ya, I agreed with you... go and stay vacation... go eat and play have fun... don't always BTS... have some Romantic Kiss
Bangtan kookies lol I’m Korean and I live there obvi but I still found this funny. Purple you 💜
Edit: this made me lmao... lol
😂😅
Bangtan kookies lol
I’m a Korean who live in Seoul more than 19 years. Well I talk a lot on the train....if u are not too noisy, then it’s fine.
nice my granpa lives in Daegu, South Korea but my gandma lives in Seoul south korea and im korean to
@@upt0p547 wow
Korean over here but lived in America all of my life. I love going their, don’t have a Korean name. My mom is Korean and my dad is African American so half Korean!!😀😀
I am a South Korean and also live in Seoul too...
만나서 반갑습니다. 저는 김지현입니다.
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.
Other people-Wanting to go to Korea because of K-pop Idols and K-dramas
Me-Wanting to go to Korea because of their street food and chopsticks.....
Hey ,are u a srilankan ??
r/notlikeothergirls
I would go for:
1.Culture
2.Fashion/Shopping
3.Street Food. All the food.
4.Cosmetics
5.Kpop
6.K-drama
7.Fun
But I live there so lol
@@gddey yeah can imagine by your username
Ah yes, the only thing Korea is worth visiting for... Either the celebrities or the eating utensils.
"Don't get into a fight" kids in school : y'all hear something?
김유진 bet the girls in my school are going to get stoped by the police!
Not a fan of anything in this video.. but tks anyways...
@@shirleycameron7718 yeah me too..
Why can someone tell me why don’t fight korean people?
@@pinekulteera4489 You could get in trouble and the law will most likely side with the Korean.
Just saying, when i went there and Tipped my waiter.... he hugged me LOL ( he was a young dude )
uwu that's adorable!!!💜
That's cute!! Maybe that time he needed money
But you don't tip in korea
@@sb8095 it is okay to tip in korea but you don't have to do it and the waiters don't expect it from you. He also said that in this video.
Gosh in my country waiters except tips, and if u don’t tip you seem like a stingy person, I heard that some waitresses even demand a tip asking “ why didn’t u tip me?”
So every time I go abroad it feels so fresh to see waitress actually thanking me for tip and not taking it as granted.
Love how every one respects each other
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.
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
Im watching this as if my broke ass can afford a trip to Korea
TaeTaeBae LMM bruh me tooo 😂 I laughed so hard at this
yo i am too because i dont have a friggin job yet
Bruh😂😭
Aye 😂
I know it may seem like a lot, but just aim to save about 2k. Flights from the US are about 6-700 when done months in advance and with the rest of the money, you can have a bomb ass time.
I'm glad to have been of help in creating such a video. Thank you very, very much.
THIS WAS THREE YEARS AGO BUT SEEING HIM W/O A MASK WAS LIKE “ayo where yo mask at?”
*People in the comments saying "You can talk on trains but you must not talk loudly. It's seen as disrespectful"*
Teenagers on German trains: Hold my beer
@@EricaPapad Well, I've lived in Cologne my whole life and many teenager in my age (13) are shouting around. You're allowed to use phones of course, I do that everyday. The buses and trains are always really loud, idk in which Cologne you live...😂
@@EricaPapad I didn't mean to offend with the sentence "In which cologne do you live" I was only a bit surprised. I don't live near the Dom, maybe it depends on the area because here aren't such rules and if there are then nobody follows them. 🤷🏻♀️ I actually don't live in Cologne but pretty near Cologne.
FR!! Vor allem die jüngere Generation. Meine Freunde finden mich komisch, weil ich im Bus nicht reden möchte. Es ist SO normal im Bus/Zug zu telefonieren oder sich zu unterhalten und das auch noch ziemlich laut. Oftmals spielen Leute sogar laut Musik im Bus ab (zumindest in meiner Region lol)
Be like: EYYY DDIGGGAAAAA!!!!
You guys should see NYC then
Rule 12 : Dont act like you Know Korean just cause you Know Bts and Other Groups . Pls . Its annoying
I know Bts and other Kpop groups but I also speak Korean and I don't act like I do 😐😑🤣
a e s t h e t i c v i b e s I know it’s annoying, like once me and my Korean friend where walking and a girl came up to us and started to speak weird Korean I look at her and said we speak English she then kept saying that she has really good Korean compared to me, I was offended cuz I took classes and I speak pretty fluent I don’t say I’m the best, and she can’t say a complete sentence like tf
@@somijeon7354 I can imagine how annoying that must've been. Why do people act like this? :/ Btw have you got any tips to get better at Korean because I really love the culture of the country and it's my dream to maybe live there for a few months/years ^-^
Rule 13: Don’t expect to be treated like you’re in a k-drama (or the cursed thing known as y/n)
Haha that's true, when girls talk only about bts.
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! 😊👍🏻
Merci beaucoup pour ces précieuses informations ! Excellente suite !
Rule 12 : don't go yelling " BTS where are you" or chasing people just because they look like kpop idols
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
what sane person would do that??
Are you talking from experience?
literally nobody does this
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!
ME : *WANTING TO GO KOREA*
ALSO ME : *MY CONFIDENCE WENT LIKE* 📉📉📉
I don’t think EVERYTHING is in this video is completely accurate though so don’t let it ruin your trip !!
@@brijordan968 THANK YOU FOR YIU ADVICE ! 🥰
Danial Fika it’s really not my 3 siblings studied there they loved it but there was also cons every country there is! I am gonna Study there to!
It’s not hard, just make some friends and you’ll be fine
Kitty현서 really!! It’s easy
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. :-)
Hello Shannon
Great video!
Me: Knowing that I'll never be able to go to korea
Still me : watching what should I not do in korea!
I know right😂😂
You’ll be able to go there, fight for your dreams if you want it. Fighting!
Bts !!
Literally. I don't even step out of ny house but still watching it 😂😂😂
Same😂
I'm korean. and I've visited other asia countries, America and Europe. I think Korea is not that different from other countries. Don't hesitate to visit KOREA. come and fave FUN!
hey i wanna ask a question - in korea if we say people oppa or unni
is it disrespectful?
@@kookielove1729 no but if you say it to the people who younger than you it is disrespectful! but most of korean would not feel it disrespectful! we just don't mind. we understand it becuase you are foreigner
@@user-rp6if9we2n ohh i'm gonna say to people only who are older than me anyways cuz i know it means someone we trust and who is older than us
@@kookielove1729 yeah that's absolutely okay!
Yes, one of my ultimate dream is to visit South Korea's Gyeongsang Province after i watch the LITTLE FOREST movie....
That place totally stole my heart
A lot of love from, India
Just got the confirmation that I'm PCSing to Camp Humphrey! Thanks for the great video! This was super informative.
Good video! Other than the pushing and shoving part, a lot of this sounds applicable to neighbouring Japan too. Can't wait to revisit Seoul!
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
This is so entertaining, thank you! What a wonderful world!!!
😂😂😂😂 so true...as an introvert I try my best to keep conversation so that they won't find it disrespectful 😅😅
Varna log : Oh bhai..nahi kya ye mazak ho rha hai ye...maaroo..😂😂
True
Hey you I thought the same nd laughd myself lyk wht the hell
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
I know right!??! I'm from Mexico and red ink means warning or that you were not well taught while in school
Great advice!
Nice. Good information. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hey, if you like this Korean contet, you may also enjoy my channel. I live in Korea, please take a look.
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
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 :>
Very different feeling when compared to a US/Euro crowd which tend to be loud/overwhelming. S Korea/Japanese crowds generally feel calmer
Holy shit they have death note
Han Race lol that has nothing to do with being a weeb
Which is a long tradition in Japan that originated in Korea and China.
casperd2100 shut up bitch
lolol that made me laugh
Jolly Roger ! 😂
Rule 9: don't write using red ink
Me: *writes my name using red ink
In INDIA teachers use red ink to write marks
INDIAN students use black and blue inks to write
INDIAN school headmistress use green ink to write
Write my name with red pen in my death note lmao
I CHOKED ON MY WATER
@@meghameowkutty2922 they writ meet me or I wanna talk to your parents then it is considered bad 😂😂
Is it bad dat i used it for drawing?
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!
Awesome video you may have sparked my interest in South Korea.
“Don’t talk on trains”

Omg look at your baby pictures😂🙄
"habibi" XD
🤣
😂😂😂
Talk on trains all you want. They have no right to tell you not too.
2:00 - "This is seen as disrespectful to the personal space of others"
3:27 - "There's no such thing as personal space"
lol you know what he meant though. You can still show respect to others when you're in a crowded space.
pls- this is exactly what i thought
Shoving people around completely acceptable
Talking and at low volume to make train rides less boring completely unacceptable
@@d.n5287 Logics am I right?
That’s what I call conundrum
Great video bro! I'm from brazil and I loved to know that things... Thx!
Good job... great video!
I think people need to realise korean life isn’t all k-pop looking boys and girls, and k-drama life styles 🤦🏽♀️
123 456 That’s Why Some People VISIT Korea Not Live There.
I like kdrama
thank you for saying that
We understand that lmao some of us just love the culture and food
Korea is basically a shit hole. The society is very judgemental, hypocritic, narcississt etc.
“Always receive things with both hands!”

i shouldn't be laughing omg-
thank you for this video
thank you, some things was really usefull
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).
@@piparasol2483
He has one of those hipster voices that like to exaggerate everything.
He's exaggerating for the clicks and more monetization
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.
Thank you for the great tips

ㅇㅅㅇ okay then XD
MSFTS_Official omg carat♥
Thanks 🙏 for that lesson 👍🥰💜
soo helpful thanks!
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
#12: Not all Korean men are pale

Correction to number 9: you only need to avoid writing people's names in red , otherwise it's fine~
Very accurate information:)
woah ty for this video

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....
Just love Korea. Watching this video made me miss being there. I would say a lot of these really apply to most countries in Asia.
Very useful info, if I ever do end up going to korea I'd like to go out for a drink and a talk with people there just to make friends and learn to understand their culture

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
I actually auditioned for THE BLACK LABEL (run by YG) so if I pass, I get to go to Korea and do a live audition.
@@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.
Imma study and live in Korea...so I needed that✊🏻✨
Sameeee

한국에 대해 더 많이 알 수 있도록 채널 이름을 알려주세요
@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
In regard to conversation on trains, we went to Japan recently, and even though not over the top all the time, I definitely saw people from there having conversations with each other...so I'm not sure if they are slowly relaxing to the idea of that type of thing...what I did notice, though, was that it appeared that they were people already together when they got onto the train. I'll keep an eye on that when we visit North Korea. Paused at 2:03 to comment, so back to watching. Thanks for taking the time to post this, and hope you and yours are doing just great!
Good job!
*Number 8: There is no such thing as personal space*
Me: *Watching this in 2020* What about the stay 6 feet apart from eachother ✋
Me: Reading comments
Also me: still gonna go
Also me: keep on dreaming. You got no money
Been to Korea countless times, its one of my favourite places I have been, people are kind humble and helpful.
And there food omg is the best.
You can travel on train as long as you're not loud. Got lot of korean friends and colleagues they are so cool.
Most of them are simply common sense. Good for Korean culture! I like it!
'Shout at your waiter'
Shy kids: *panic*
oh dats me
In korea, most restaurants have dining bell on the table so you can just push the button of the bell to call waiter.
@@user-hc7eo9lq1p Oh thank you ( ◜‿◝ )♡ I didn't know that
For me it is an unnatural thing to do. Yo waiter!! Hahaha!! 😂
Introverts be like' well that's new
Tip #12 if a person takes it personally when you refuse a drink, it’s a good way to find out who to be friends with.
Oooo frl ?? I didn't know about that
Love that your speaking about Korean things as I’m new to Korea, but I did notice you threw in a clip of Japanese money at the convince store.
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!
Most of these dont really matter (except the fighting part)
Koreans wont care if you do any of these

I plan on moving to Korea in the future even if it’s for a few months to a couple years. I’m currently studying the language too. I have family there because I’m half Korean so I do get help from family.
This is one of my favorite places I want to visit I love the idols there especially music and a lot of the cultures they have
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 wish i could visit south korea at somepoint in my life
LOVE FROM INDIA
Seoul is beautiful, and they’re advanced in terms of everything
Japan kills sourh korea, I went to Japan then was Wow! korea is just..mmmmok
@@bbbsmith2644 none of our business
@@bbbsmith2644 you are right but india is better than both
It's caring and sharing
Hello guys. Better go to Japan. Koreans are racist and dont like tourist specially we the black Indian or Africans.
some of these things just touch on a personal level, even though I am not in korea, i might just start doing some of these things as it is good manners.
It is good for sharing.
