Hey,@@linasidji8311.. you were trying to say Muslim men, right? Are circumcised, too? After all, Muslims have a common ancestor with Jews in Abraham. And he's the man who started it all.. the practice of circumcision, among other things. Yeah, Danny & David, it's not just Korean or Jewish men who are circumcised. It is still pretty much the norm in American society, too.. at least 90%, especially among the older generations. It may not be as status quo in the younger generation, like teens & 20s but still pro'bly 80%. I think it's also a common practice in Latin American countries, because of the influence of the Catholic church. I would be surprised if it's not true. I know the practice started with the Jewish nation, but the practice was adopted by Christians & the Catholic church & I guess Islam, too. The practice just tends to be more sanitary, IMO.
I could honestly listen to this for hours, it's very intriguing and refreshing hearing about korean culture from locals, rather than obtaining snippets from kdramas or kpop. Would definitely enjoy a part 3!
really like how you guys just give the answers, no bullsh1tting around 😂😂😂😂😂. videos like this, that show the real life in Korea should reach a lot of delulu kpoppies. Also, if you have enough material / questions for a part 3, go for it. the first two videos are really interesting.
And I hope you guys don't even talk nonsense. You guys always pretend to know even though you don't know Korea. I'm really tired. Whether it's Korean beauty standards or Korean women's lives, you're always talking nonsense. Do Koreans want to be white? Our standards of beauty have existed for thousands of years. and It's not a problem that you like tanned skin, but it's a problem that Koreans like pale skin? Get rid of this disgusting double standard.
@@kalapasz hmmm, I don't get it, what is your problem? How does it relate to what I wrote? If you want to write to Danny&David, maybe try the main comment section, and not under my comment. Anyway, an advice. If you are really tired, get some sleep. 😂 It will do you a world of good, and maybe what you write will make some sense.

@@nathancasey7712 not sure what you mean by academy but if it means they are leaving with almost $100,000 debt on top of paying more than 20K a year then okay, comparable.

Interesting, the "we're such a small country what can we do about climate change" is so often used in my home country, which is very big in land area and very small in population, and one of the most forested regions left in Europe. Yet because we are a developed country and society has been modeled in the capitalist-consumerist vein, the average CO2 emissions per person is about 9.31. I read somewhere that if everyone had the same quota of carbon emissions per year, an average Finn would use theirs up somewhere around early April I think. The average CO2 emission per capita in Korea in 2019 was 12.7. So if we all think that we're so small we'll have no impact no matter what we do... well, there will definitely be no impact then. Almost right after you talked about the topic of climate change in Korea you talked about the huge consumer culture, even. That didn't really add up to me.
I've noticed this...while I think individuals should be mindful it's not entirely their faults they have been in a society that literally shoves consumerism down their throats. Literally. Especially for ppl living in a dense place like seoul where there are shops, cafes, and ads everywhere. Plastic everywhere. Corporations should be held accountable for ethical practices as well as individual people doing the best they can.
@@vunessuh I completely agree. It will be easier to hold corporations accountable though if people start realizing the connections and the impact our life styles, steered by our culture, have.
It's so interesting that a lot of things are compared to the US and then 8000/7000 a year tuition is called cheap TT. In Europe there are countries where it's free or max 2000/3000 euros a year (+/-2,3K or 3,4K dollars)
In Greece univerities are free (there are some private colleges that are expensive but in general universities are considered a lot better in terms of quality) but you have to pass exams to get in of course. Then most postgraduate studies are around 2.500-3000 for 1.5 years. So when I hear about 8000 a year tuitions I am like 😳
A lot of people say that university is free in France but in fact it's just that most people don't have to pay because they have scholarship. This scholarship reward you with : not having to pay the tuition fee, meals cost 1€, priority on university housing...It's not given to the best student but in fonction of your parent's earning. The poorer you are the more the government will give you. My family is in the middle class so we are not that rich but quite good financially. This year I will receive 1724€ (~170€ per month). The minimum is 1042€ and the maximum is 5736€. There was a problem with the administration this year so my scholarship was delayed and I had to pay 300€. So it's not "free" but a lot cheaper compared to others countries and there's a lot of help thanks to taxes.
Climate change needs to be discussed more in SK :/ South Korea is a small country in size, but it has huge corporations. In most official statistics South Korea is in the top 10 of most polluting countries in the world
Yeah, this way of thinking is so weird to me. On the one hand Koreans seem quite patriotic and proud of the impacts of their culture in the world but then when it comes to climate protection it suddenly becomes a small country that doesn't have any power? :D Here in Germany climate change is a huge topic. There have been big FFF-protests, it's all over the media including advertisments and one of the most important if not the most important topic in the current election campaign.
Most of Korea's climate problem comes from China Most of our large factories are abroad, and 70% of our land is made up of mountains. It means narrow. China recently retaliated for not buying coal from Australia, and they cut electricity production. Currently, the sky in Korea is the clearest I have seen in 10 years. You can see the stars in Seoul
@@coroanegra5761 that's why I specified "polluting" not polluted. Even if the factories are in China if they company is South Korean, the responsibility of the GHG emissions is shared between China and Korea, and they are accounted as Korean emissions even if the factories are not on South Korean land.
@@Anasvet28 Oh, you might think so. However, China accounts for 15% of Korea's large factories abroad. 25% are in Vietnam and the rest are in various places Also, Korean factories in China are less than 5% of their internal factories. Korea ranks 8th on the international climate pollution ranking, but 1/16 of China, 1/5 of the US, and 1/3 of India, The problem is China.
Question for Part 3 : Is the Pin-Hole camera issues still very prevalent in public places? What measurements has the government taken? Also, what measurements can the tourists take?
It's still an issue and I can't remember the RUclipsr but I think it's Grazy Grace, she said she had to download an app to spot them. I really can't remember the app's name😭😭. But we still gotta be careful with those public bathroom
It's really over-exaggerated and outdated issue. Government already investigated lots of public places, schools and there was no single camera. Most korean people don't care about illegal spycam things in their daily life. It's like worrying about gunshot when you travel to US...
As an Australian, I can confirm that it's practically the norm here to just walk around barefoot outside. However, it's normally in areas near the beach and things like that. I'm from Gold coast, QLD so it happens a lot here, but in places like Melbourne, they normally wear shoes. 17:49
I got my first tattoo in Korea (5th overall) in January and as I was leaving, the police were actually there to investigate the shop! I got stopped and had to talk to the police and let me tell you, I had SO much anxiety and nerves. Everyone I know just kept saying how unlucky it was because they've never heard of that happening. Of course it had to happen to me.
I This questions help me learn more about Korea. So keep on doing this. I totally love it and I hope one day I can go to Korea. Thank you Daniel and David. Sending Lots Of Agape Love Always all the way from El Paso, Texas.
Nordstrom is definitely Not affordable for the average person... like David said Walmart is a cheap ass clothing store. But its America we have both cheap & expensive.
I really like this duo who speak honestly about their country and try to answer our questions with as much clarity as possible. I binged watched their videos a lot of times, and it's my favorite thing to do. This channel is really helpful for people who wants to visit/live in Korea. Keep rocking you all! 🔥
I lived in Korea for a year in the early 90s (husband was in the army and I joined him there, we're American) we lived in (forgive the spelling) bong IL chon (?) About 25km from the DMZ. We wanted to experience Korea and not just be like those soldiers who just go from post to post or hang in the town stationed. We liked to go to the subway and randomly pick a stop and just go explore (we didnt speak Korean or read Hangul). It was so fun! We saw burial mounds small amusement parks, awesome markets , great street food etc. Kind of a weird way to do it but it was an adventure and super fun! I recommend.
Oh and about weddings, in our small village, we had the honor of seeing a traditional wedding procession and it was the coolest thing ever. Also when we went to Gyeongbokgung palace & saw people getting wedding photos done. Super cool
Loved listening to you guys answering random questions. I will for sure check out part 1 and hope for a part 3! We Americans are just learning about South Korea and your beautiful culture. I love your language as it is very comforting to hear.
@@hpjjreec6456 no, Stephen Park of Asian Boss RUclips channel. Media start up. Based in South Korea. There's a vid on DKDKTV channel meeting him at Korea RUclips workshop for SK RUclipsrs
Love the straight forward answers. Feels like I'm getting secret insights into the Korean culture. :D Seriously, it's making me want to visit again. Hoping for more of these.
I would like to say something about the climate change issue. Yes, Korea is one of the "reycling-nations", right behind Germany. However, when he said "Korea is only a small country" I wanted to scream at him! Recycling won't save us from climate change! Germany has more inhabitants than Korea, but still does more against climate change and has lower Co2-emissions per capita than Korean, Furthermore, the whole "but other countries are bigger and THEY should do something" won't get us anywhere! Imagine what could be possible if all of the smaller and middle-sized countries united! Maybe China, USA and India will follow
I guess I get it why most Koreans listen to hip hop and r&b. cause, simply, it's sooo good. I wish Korean hip hop and r&b as famous as mainstream k-pop
I love these kinds of videos! You guys are SO good at it, because you not only express your opinions and points of view, you also consider people from other generations and stuff I really miss the EXPLAINED videos! I learned so much about music and culture from them! I hope you guys do those again!
Answering everyday questions like this/these is what i consider really helpful to understand and get into a culture. People might wonder about these things for years instead of asking randos, so i appreciate you taking your time to explain stuff.
Thank you guys for sharing this. I was always anxious about going to korea however now i feel very confortable and confident about visiting. I'll start practicing my hangoul.
When I first heard about honorifics/formal in Korean, I was so shock. But then, I realized, we, Vietnamese, have it too, in a stricter (?) way. We call relatives different pronouns (not aunt, but like, mother's elder sister differs from mother's younger sister differs from father's.... I still don't know how to call them correctly lol), friends, colleagues, ...
This might be controversial but I live in Japan and it’s very similar especially when it comes to recycling etc so at least there are more recycling countries than you think
Love it! Honest and straight to the point. Want to see this series go on! I got a few questions myself: What is this kchrrr sound Koreans make to comment on someone or rather what does it mean? Is it sarcastic or a sign of agreement? Being so frank in this video, in which situations are you behaving much more to the (perceived) Korean norm aka contained? Is that behaviour changing in younger generations? What about mental health issues, depression and burnout? Are they still taboo, not talked about and is there any network for help? Are there any signs that the competitiveness and heteronomous pressure in all areas of life (from after school tuition till late at night, beauty standards, what you can afford to even a competitive drinking culture) is lessening? Could you explain the concept of 'some' (the stage before dating)? To me it seems confusing when Koreans are said to commit very fast.
I am still weirded out when koreans constantly mention how South Korea is a small country. Maybe by land it's not really that big but it has bigger population than most European countries(It would be 6th most populated country if it was in Europe). So saying South Korea doesn't really have impact on climate change kinda dismisses most of the world.
honestly? most of the world is not responsible for climate change. the united states alone is responsible for 30% of global energy use and 28% of carbon emissions. the entire continent of africa is responsible for less than 3% of all carbon emission in the world. if it sounds like some countries don’t really impact it that much it’s because they don’t. (not saying this is the case for SK, just answering the last part of your comment)
It’s interesting that you said “keeping up with the Joneses”. That term comes from the film capital of the US, Wilmington North Carolina … my home a beautiful beach town which is also where Michael Jordan is from
I just watched this and i think i need part 3!! Please answer questions about kdrama, actors, or actress.. who is the most popular actors and actress for koreans?😀
4:30 Regarding weight.. i am someone who is a bit on the skinny range, people mostly would tell me to become plump, from where I come from plump is healthy.
BTS 💜, 2 Days 1 Night Season 4, Kim Seon Ho 💙, Park Bo Gum, Penthouse, and Sky Castle have been really making this pandemic bearable for me. They just make me happy and smile.... prolly not the moms, dads, and kids of Penthouse and Sky Castle though. Hehe.
WOW, I just searched the seoul national university yearly tuition for international students and its 6.33 million won, which is like 4000 euros. WOW thats sooooo cheap, SPECIALLY for a top tier university like SNU. Here in europe (at least where I live) this is also the average university tuition price but those universities are like community colleges, NOTHING compared to SNU. Im honestly shocked
I like these series, I like to see the cultural differences between different countries its cool, I'm persian and I was surprised that there is so much similarity, except iranians love foreigners, they show so much hospitality and if u date a foreigner ppl will be so positive about it (with just one country as an exception which is so sad), and about the military since its same here even tho men get 2 years of hiatus they still have better chance of getting a job and have better salaries, and better chances for promotions. for few positions u might have better chances for promotions if u are a woman, I cant think of many jobs as an example tho, like being a nurse, or supervisor of different sections of hospital, and ofc there isnt weird cults here, iran is very homogeneous when its comes to religion, even if ppl arent that religion they still arent into weird cults.
That’s actually good though for people taking care of their health because it means less health problems. I mean look at America 😅. But the body shaming isn’t ok either.
I am fat and let me tell you "We all have eyes and we all know ourselves how healthy or unhealthy we may be" Fat shaming never made anyone less fat.... Also high overweight is almost always a symptom. I have multiple conditions that make it easy for me to gain and almost impossible to loose weight. I sometimes have to take meds that make you gain 30kg if you are unlucky. I am fat because i am chronically ill i am not ill because i am fat. There is a difference in that. Also I am not lazy I am depressed xD and I still take a long walk everyday, make my workout. Before corona I went swimming 3 times a week. A huge part of my therapy to treat my chronic pain conditions is based on staying in motion. I also have a special diet and I am not over eating. Most fat people have similar stories and people just have different body types some are just natrual curvy or slimm body and everybody type can be healthy. There are people called happy obese they are highly overweight but they don't have any organic health problems because of it and they are fit and active. I just hate the stereotypes people have about being overweight... most of them are just not true... also why hate on them or voice fake concern to hate on them through the back door? Also so many overweight people work on loosing weight but it just nothing that works over night. It took me 2 years to loose 30kg that i then gained back because of meds and know I am on loosing weight again and it just takes a long time. People being judgemental assholes doesn't help especially if they bully you out of the gym or other places you go to work out just because of your weight. I don't get that type of skinny people telling me to loose weight because I am disgusting and then still harassing me so much that I leave the gym... it is a problem really. No it's not good that other people care and judge other people's bodies because they normally don't care at all! They just like to bring people down to feel better about their own insecurities. You don't need to tell fat people that they may be unhealthy because they have all doctor's as well as mirrors and eyeballs. Also don't hate on people when they are really skinny either being underweight can also be a real health problem to people and they are often trying very hard to gain weight. It is also more dangerous way faster for the body to have underweight because your organs fail faster that way. I have a lot of friends that struggle with their weight, underweight as well as overweight and all of them just have medical conditions that cause that and treatment of that is oftend not easy and it takes time and being chronically ill is always a strain on people's mental health so shitting on them won't help at all. Stop judging people's bodies, stop being mean under the pretence to care just let people be
@@kuroneko5390 ok first off I never said body shaming was ok cause no one is perfect ok. And second I never thought my such negative comment would get people pissed but keep fighting whoever you are. 🤐
My mom said Korean girls get double eyelid surgery when they graduate high school and it serves as their graduation gift ..so I guess she was right lol
I'm American and I'm married to a Korean man with two little girls. My in-laws were fairly supportive. As against interracial marriage as older people may be, they LOVE half-foreign kids! We get stopped all the time (literally every day) for older people to gush over our kids.

As an Australian, I can confirm that it's practically the norm here to just walk around barefoot outside. However, it's normally in areas near the beach and things like that. I'm from Gold coast, QLD so it happens a lot here, but in places like Melbourne, they normally wear shoes. 17:49
Can confirm lol if you walk around barefoot in my town youre seen as a dole bludger or something
@@urbanwater3376 This is the funniest thing I've heard all day. Your mum made a wise decision.
"they normally wear shoes" 😂
Yep during my time in Melb, everyone had shoes on but some had sandals hehee
I got my first tattoo in Korea (5th overall) in January and as I was leaving, the police were actually there to investigate the shop! I got stopped and had to talk to the police and let me tell you, I had SO much anxiety and nerves. Everyone I know just kept saying how unlucky it was because they've never heard of that happening. Of course it had to happen to me.

This questions help me learn more about Korea. So keep on doing this. I totally love it and I hope one day I can go to Korea. Thank you Daniel and David. Sending Lots Of Agape Love Always all the way from El Paso, Texas.
Part 3, please! This segment is very helpful for understanding some cultural nuances and for travel advices.
"why do Koreans love iced Americano so much"
"because it tastes good"
"𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐈𝐭𝐬 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐏"
LMAO 🤣
Actually my question would have been why do Koreans love iced americano even in the dead of winter 🥶
it’s kind of a diet food, too. lowers your appetite.
@@bitchtrifecta it tastes so sad it makes you lose all the apetite you’ve ever had
@@nini-jz1bt 😂😂😂
@@nini-jz1bt true at least have some of the Iced teas.
the best video from locals ive ever watched about korea on youtube! just stating facts and nothing else, thanks!
Nordstrom is definitely Not affordable for the average person... like David said Walmart is a cheap ass clothing store. But its America we have both cheap & expensive.
loved it ! part 3 please 😍
I really like this duo who speak honestly about their country and try to answer our questions with as much clarity as possible. I binged watched their videos a lot of times, and it's my favorite thing to do. This channel is really helpful for people who wants to visit/live in Korea. Keep rocking you all! 🔥
Yes would like a part three video. Love your team dynamic.
I lived in Korea for a year in the early 90s (husband was in the army and I joined him there, we're American) we lived in (forgive the spelling) bong IL chon (?) About 25km from the DMZ. We wanted to experience Korea and not just be like those soldiers who just go from post to post or hang in the town stationed. We liked to go to the subway and randomly pick a stop and just go explore (we didnt speak Korean or read Hangul). It was so fun! We saw burial mounds small amusement parks, awesome markets , great street food etc. Kind of a weird way to do it but it was an adventure and super fun! I recommend.
Oh and about weddings, in our small village, we had the honor of seeing a traditional wedding procession and it was the coolest thing ever. Also when we went to Gyeongbokgung palace & saw people getting wedding photos done. Super cool
My granddaughter and I are planning on coming to Korea in 2022. We are Army! Enjoyed parts 1,2. Hope you do a 3.
Seeing my question being here...what is that warm feeling inside me? 😳😳😳
Thank you, guys! 🥰
Loved listening to you guys answering random questions. I will for sure check out part 1 and hope for a part 3! We Americans are just learning about South Korea and your beautiful culture. I love your language as it is very comforting to hear.
absolutely love this series!! please do more, even regularly please!
ㄱㅅ! 화이팅! 🖤🇰🇷🌏🐣🐣
I did an interview with Stephen Park (Asian Boss) and the first question he asked me was my age 😂
You mean Stephen Kim? Danny's alter ego? /s
@@hpjjreec6456 no, Stephen Park of Asian Boss RUclips channel. Media start up. Based in South Korea. There's a vid on DKDKTV channel meeting him at Korea RUclips workshop for SK RUclipsrs
It's so that he knows which type of speech to use,informal or formal. Informal for same age or younger and formal for older.
@@MuddyPigg yep I know...I'm a Korean New Zealander ...just not used to it here as a normal everyday occurrence
Aww, he's so cool. I love him
Love the straight forward answers. Feels like I'm getting secret insights into the Korean culture. :D Seriously, it's making me want to visit again. Hoping for more of these.
I would like to say something about the climate change issue.
Yes, Korea is one of the "reycling-nations", right behind Germany. However, when he said "Korea is only a small country" I wanted to scream at him! Recycling won't save us from climate change! Germany has more inhabitants than Korea, but still does more against climate change and has lower Co2-emissions per capita than Korean, Furthermore, the whole "but other countries are bigger and THEY should do something" won't get us anywhere! Imagine what could be possible if all of the smaller and middle-sized countries united! Maybe China, USA and India will follow
I guess I get it why most Koreans listen to hip hop and r&b. cause, simply, it's sooo good. I wish Korean hip hop and r&b as famous as mainstream k-pop
I love these kinds of videos! You guys are SO good at it, because you not only express your opinions and points of view, you also consider people from other generations and stuff
I really miss the EXPLAINED videos! I learned so much about music and culture from them!
I hope you guys do those again!
OH and danny pls keep the earring, they are dope 😍😍
Answering everyday questions like this/these is what i consider really helpful to understand
and get into a culture. People might wonder about these things for years instead of asking randos,
so i appreciate you taking your time to explain stuff.
OMG YES PT2!!!! Can't wait for pt3~~~
“You’re asking the wrong questions to the wrong people my guy” 🤣 bro I straight up lost it lmfao
Why?
Thank you guys for sharing this. I was always anxious about going to korea however now i feel very confortable and confident about visiting. I'll start practicing my hangoul.
Love Danny and David! I live in the middle of America and love learning about other cultures.
Thank you so much for your honest information
You picked my question! Thank you for answering it😊
Yes, part 3 please! I love these question/answer videos.
Danny is looking good, this length of hair really suits him
Snack.
Not at all. Long hair in the front suits him.
This is so awesome, you once again answered questions I didn’t know I wondered about!🤣. Looking forward to more!
When I first heard about honorifics/formal in Korean, I was so shock. But then, I realized, we, Vietnamese, have it too, in a stricter (?) way. We call relatives different pronouns (not aunt, but like, mother's elder sister differs from mother's younger sister differs from father's.... I still don't know how to call them correctly lol), friends, colleagues, ...
I would love a part 3!
Everything is really interesting!
This might be controversial but I live in Japan and it’s very similar especially when it comes to recycling etc so at least there are more recycling countries than you think
I like David straightforward style and honesty.
Nordstrom?! That's actually considered expensive here haha I used to worked there
I was thinking the same! When danny said Nordstrom was a cheap ass store I was like HUHH??
Maybe he's referring to Nordstrom Rack
Love it! Honest and straight to the point. Want to see this series go on! I got a few questions myself: What is this kchrrr sound Koreans make to comment on someone or rather what does it mean? Is it sarcastic or a sign of agreement? Being so frank in this video, in which situations are you behaving much more to the (perceived) Korean norm aka contained? Is that behaviour changing in younger generations? What about mental health issues, depression and burnout? Are they still taboo, not talked about and is there any network for help? Are there any signs that the competitiveness and heteronomous pressure in all areas of life (from after school tuition till late at night, beauty standards, what you can afford to even a competitive drinking culture) is lessening? Could you explain the concept of 'some' (the stage before dating)? To me it seems confusing when Koreans are said to commit very fast.
I am still weirded out when koreans constantly mention how South Korea is a small country. Maybe by land it's not really that big but it has bigger population than most European countries(It would be 6th most populated country if it was in Europe). So saying South Korea doesn't really have impact on climate change kinda dismisses most of the world.
@Sangay Zam that's so crazy 😨 my country has a population of 274 million ppl. i think you can guess i live in asia.
I think English is not your strong point. They did not dismiss climate change. Go back and listen again. Carefully
honestly? most of the world is not responsible for climate change. the united states alone is responsible for 30% of global energy use and 28% of carbon emissions. the entire continent of africa is responsible for less than 3% of all carbon emission in the world. if it sounds like some countries don’t really impact it that much it’s because they don’t. (not saying this is the case for SK, just answering the last part of your comment)
We are in the same boat, people. Everybody is responsible for climate change.
It's really cool to see you guys being super fucking honest, because literally kdramas & kpop portray SK in a whole different light.
It’s interesting that you said “keeping up with the Joneses”. That term comes from the film capital of the US, Wilmington North Carolina … my home a beautiful beach town which is also where Michael Jordan is from
Part 3 please! These are fun.
Great to know another Se So Neon music lover and it's one of my fav youtuber.
I love these videos. super informative and interesting!
Hope you guys do a part 3!! I love these Q&A about Korea!
"how can you make friends if koreans are shy"
"you dont"
Yep. Totally true lol
17:46 I FEEL CALLED OUT HELP😭 it makes me feel connected with nature alright (only at parks and beaches, defs not streets lol)
Love the honesty 💜
That was great! I'd love a part 3!
I had no idea about circumcision been common in Korea o.o
yes. Part 3 please
I loved this video, could listen to this for hours. Its such an easy listen.
"+we're not on war or anything...
-technically we are..." LMAO
This was great! Very informative. Yes, please, Part 3. A small group of us (from the US) are in the planning stages to visit Korea next year.
Love these videos - i wouldn't mind a part 3!
Well that was interesting.
Yes please, for Part 3.
That’s in our culture too we also have a lot of side dishes and we have big tables full of food
Really liked this ... very insightful... thank you
yess thanks for pt2
I just watched this and i think i need part 3!! Please answer questions about kdrama, actors, or actress.. who is the most popular actors and actress for koreans?😀
Rewatching again because why not?
Loved this! Could watch this for hours
A lot of these questions were really good! Very interesting to listen to
Honest answers to questions👍👏❤
4:30 Regarding weight.. i am someone who is a bit on the skinny range, people mostly would tell me to become plump, from where I come from plump is healthy.
Love your honesty guys❤️✨
Welcome back, Danny!
Loved this! Thank you!
We need to know more ..we need part 3 😌❤️
BTS 💜, 2 Days 1 Night Season 4, Kim Seon Ho 💙, Park Bo Gum, Penthouse, and Sky Castle have been really making this pandemic bearable for me. They just make me happy and smile.... prolly not the moms, dads, and kids of Penthouse and Sky Castle though. Hehe.
I love that Nordstroms is considered cheap 🤣 my cheap butt won't go there because I'm not about to spend $30 on a shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I shop at Target.
The head pat thing :D I would add the zoom on patting on the back while hugging.
I would love part 3
New here and I thought Part 1 was great!
13:49 Best yet!
David: We're not in war or anything (chuckle)
Danny: Technically we are...
David: ... I guess we are...
WOW, I just searched the seoul national university yearly tuition for international students and its 6.33 million won, which is like 4000 euros. WOW thats sooooo cheap, SPECIALLY for a top tier university like SNU. Here in europe (at least where I live) this is also the average university tuition price but those universities are like community colleges, NOTHING compared to SNU. Im honestly shocked
I like these series, I like to see the cultural differences between different countries its cool, I'm persian and I was surprised that there is so much similarity, except iranians love foreigners, they show so much hospitality and if u date a foreigner ppl will be so positive about it (with just one country as an exception which is so sad), and about the military since its same here even tho men get 2 years of hiatus they still have better chance of getting a job and have better salaries, and better chances for promotions. for few positions u might have better chances for promotions if u are a woman, I cant think of many jobs as an example tho, like being a nurse, or supervisor of different sections of hospital, and ofc there isnt weird cults here, iran is very homogeneous when its comes to religion, even if ppl arent that religion they still arent into weird cults.
새 서년 LETS GOOOO THEY ARE MY FAVORITEEEEES!!!!!!! i'm in love with Soyoon. and I also really love Hyukoh but who doesn't!
That’s actually good though for people taking care of their health because it means less health problems. I mean look at America 😅. But the body shaming isn’t ok either.
I am fat and let me tell you "We all have eyes and we all know ourselves how healthy or unhealthy we may be" Fat shaming never made anyone less fat.... Also high overweight is almost always a symptom. I have multiple conditions that make it easy for me to gain and almost impossible to loose weight. I sometimes have to take meds that make you gain 30kg if you are unlucky. I am fat because i am chronically ill i am not ill because i am fat. There is a difference in that. Also I am not lazy I am depressed xD and I still take a long walk everyday, make my workout. Before corona I went swimming 3 times a week. A huge part of my therapy to treat my chronic pain conditions is based on staying in motion. I also have a special diet and I am not over eating. Most fat people have similar stories and people just have different body types some are just natrual curvy or slimm body and everybody type can be healthy. There are people called happy obese they are highly overweight but they don't have any organic health problems because of it and they are fit and active. I just hate the stereotypes people have about being overweight... most of them are just not true... also why hate on them or voice fake concern to hate on them through the back door? Also so many overweight people work on loosing weight but it just nothing that works over night. It took me 2 years to loose 30kg that i then gained back because of meds and know I am on loosing weight again and it just takes a long time. People being judgemental assholes doesn't help especially if they bully you out of the gym or other places you go to work out just because of your weight. I don't get that type of skinny people telling me to loose weight because I am disgusting and then still harassing me so much that I leave the gym... it is a problem really. No it's not good that other people care and judge other people's bodies because they normally don't care at all! They just like to bring people down to feel better about their own insecurities. You don't need to tell fat people that they may be unhealthy because they have all doctor's as well as mirrors and eyeballs. Also don't hate on people when they are really skinny either being underweight can also be a real health problem to people and they are often trying very hard to gain weight. It is also more dangerous way faster for the body to have underweight because your organs fail faster that way. I have a lot of friends that struggle with their weight, underweight as well as overweight and all of them just have medical conditions that cause that and treatment of that is oftend not easy and it takes time and being chronically ill is always a strain on people's mental health so shitting on them won't help at all. Stop judging people's bodies, stop being mean under the pretence to care just let people be
@@kuroneko5390 ok first off I never said body shaming was ok cause no one is perfect ok. And second I never thought my such negative comment would get people pissed but keep fighting whoever you are. 🤐
So interesting. Bring on Part 3.
My mom said Korean girls get double eyelid surgery when they graduate high school and it serves as their graduation gift ..so I guess she was right lol
This is accurate.
My friend's parents gave her older sister a nose job as a high school graduation present.
I'm American and I'm married to a Korean man with two little girls. My in-laws were fairly supportive. As against interracial marriage as older people may be, they LOVE half-foreign kids! We get stopped all the time (literally every day) for older people to gush over our kids.
