crown catrice ya’ll always find something to complain about (stereotype). Making a statement is not complaining they asked a question that’s it but that was your reply. I work with people of all races and they all complain so I’ve never understood that statement.
@Gordon Payne There is no such thing as 'talking white'. What you are saying is considered toxic colorism. Just because they are highly educated and have good pronunciations of words, does not mean they are any less black. This is yet another reason why there is black on black prejudices, colorism, and racism; is cause of people like you having messed up ideas in their heads that us as black people have to act a certain way or you consider us to be 'acting white'. Give me a break with that toxic mess. Every single black person is an individual with their own personality and their own way of how they like to speak. So stop with the toxic colorism. You are part of the problem.
@Gordon Payne That is a very common Southern African accent (more specifically private school accent). It may not sound "African" because to you because Southern Africans rarely participate in RUclips videos in general. That is why a lot of people associate Nigerian or Ghanian culture more strongly as African, we see them more often talking on African culture. So I don't blame you for thinking this way. But as a Southern African, I could tell immediately they were Southern African and probably South African (which they were).
Yeah when i was watching this i looked up to the captions to see if they added korean sub and they didn't, so i was like this video was created for them to understand black pple so how can they understand wat was said in this vid without Kor sub 🤔
She said African People. She's from South Africa. Literally as someone from Africa, even if they aren't the best, almost all Africans Sing and/or Dance - dancing is literally a huge part of the culture. We dance at every event from funerals to weddings (till early morning both young and old) and there is some event going on all the time.
i think she means African culture since song and dance are big parts of a lot of African gatherings or cultures. black culture in Africa and predominantly black countries is a lot different than African American culture or black culture in the west! don't feel bad abt it bby.
@@kneecapbuster807 some can speak and understand fluently because they've watched yt or been out the country so in a way they alreay know most of the problems colored people go through (themselves included), but a lot know lil bit of it, haven't been outside the country, -the elderly doesn't use social media- and basically can't understand most of what they're saying, esp when fluent English (just like any other language) is spoken with speed and with different accents
@@kneecapbuster807 My experience here is that Koreans can definitely speak English well, but there's a very large gap between speaking and listening. When we learn a foreign language, we're much more likely to be able to text and and speak, but listening is hard. There are also things that won't translate well because phrases don't exist or are completely different in Korean. So there are points that some won't understand without subtitles.
Nolliey H I had that in korea I didn’t freak out bout I was SHOOK(it was a really old lady), but I honestly had no bad experience neither racism (cause I don’t think that was racism, it was just ignorance and curiosity... but they should ask!!) ! Otherwise It was an amazing experience
@@wynacoco8034 It's korean culture unfortunately, old people think they can get away with touching others. Also should mention because I saw this in a different video, a foreigner thought a korean woman was being racist because she bumped shoulders with her very hard... that also happens in Korea too to koreans lol. Like everything else mentioned in the video is definitely stereotyping with bad intentions, but at least the personal space thing doesn't happen because koreans are racist. If anything if a korean was being racist they would not touch you at all and try to avoid you. This is coming from a korean woman btw.
it should not matter im 14 i plan on going there to study aboard when i go to college im not as worried because people are not going to like you or treat you different everywhere but dont let that stop you form going somewhere you want to go that will hold you back from doing lots of things just take the chance ok
@cogi K I have no idea if this is a insult but if it is before you throw shade make sure your confident in your english so you don't make a fool of yourself, damn near had a stroke reading your comment
I dont understand the point of this video. The different women in this video want the Korean audience to know and understand their feelings. But with no subtitles or spoken Korean, how are Koreans supposed to understand it and why would they watch this video in the first place? It would just be mainly non Koreans watching this, and they already know these problems already.
I get your point but a lot of Koreans actually understand English and are able to read it. It's mandatory for them to take in school many of their schools. The video still SHOULD have subs though.
@@janepaige928 I live in Korea and have taught a variety of students. While they can understand and make basic sentences, a majority of them cannot understand advanced conversation of this level.
I blame media for most of the perceptions of black people. If all you have to go off is movies and television than you're going to think that how people really are.
It's not only media but also movies,why do you think korean become more popular?with kpop and kdrama they give a good image of korean ,us if you watch the majority of roles who act.....
It’s sad that Korean people have those preconceived notions about black people. Koreans HEAVILY participate in black culture through music and style so you would think they would be a little more open. The likelihood that a problematic black person is going to come to korea and cause problems is slim to none. The black people who actually want to take the time to travel and immerse themselves in culture are the LEAST of Korean people’s worries. It’s a bit frustrating.
@venomspeak that was the old days when kpop barely started I don't see much of it anymore. They are influenced but they also make their own sound they don't all copy from hip-hop and r&b.
How true,just like alot of other countries. They are accepting of the white man and almost go as far as glorifying whiteness but will treat a black person like a dog amd still want to embrace black culture at the same time. No sense of direction in my opinion.
@@kellyedey5952 Not true. They study English. But it's different when it comes to understanding the nuances of a conversation in English. Many English teachers in Korea have explained this. And still, what's the use of making a video for Koreans without Korean subtitles? Something tells me this video is simply about them doing a video to make us think they really give a damn....but if they really had the desire to educate Koreans there would be subtitles.
As a Hispanic black girl with overweight who’s fallen in love with that country I’m really afraid to pursue my dream of going to Korea it would really break my heart to go to a place where I’m being looked at as if I was a specimen . I really felt sad with this testimonies I live in the USA and thank God I haven’t experienced any kind of discrimination even though I know it exist It hasn’t happened to me . anyway these are brave woman here sharing their story and I respect them bc it’s not easy at all . PS: I agree with the some comments saying the should’ve put Korean subtitles.
I'm a black female, I wasn't born with the "power" to dance. I can't dance at all. I can sing, but as all these other famous singers. I like drawing, I like art, I like comedy, and books. Along with shows, like anime. I am always judged, and always thought of as "Rude" , "Wild" , "Fierce" and "Loud" I am not any of those things.. So this hurts me, that us black girls, and woman are portrayed as this. I blame it on the media.
I think anyone can dance. Even if it looks like they have 2 left feet and 7 broken toes. (This is why I don't dance in public) I'm not making light of your comment, I wanted to try to make you smile at that thought. Truly, I wish the media would portray all of us in the same light. To highlight the positive in every race. So that everyone is included. I think that would be a big step in changing minds and behaviors.
Yea idk if I can dance I’m okay at singing but having melanin doesn’t mean we are all the same person… we are all different people. All Brunettes aren’t the same, all Blondes aren’t the same
I spent a month in Korea and the one thing I found annoying is the "foreigner tax". I went to a HIP HOP club in Itaewon (foreigner district in seoul) with my korean friend. They let her in for free but told me I should pay 20,000 won entry fee. Wtf?
Lol thats definitely not fair but there's an excuse for that.. it's because in itaewon, there's a long history of foreigners at night being drunk and getting crazy wild(getting into fights, inguring people, breaking things, etc)..
@@user-rj8mk6fz1u On the wall they wrote something about american soldiers getting into fights. I am from Germany. what do I have to do with american soldiers? imagine if clubs in germany inforced an asian or korean tax because chinese people caused trouble in a club? You can't just say ALL foreigners are the same?
@@athenasuperheldin1017 well u cant call it tax. U dont pay more for everything. Its just clubs in itaewon. You could always go to other clubs like in gangnam or hongdae. And yes, its unfair, but it's not just soldiers that are infamous for causing trouble in clubs. Something about soldiers was probably on the wall because a lot of us soldiers sneak out at night to itaewon and they're not supposed to do that. There are even us army police to look for us soldiers who sneaked out at night.rather, us soldiers tend to behave better because they dont wanna get in trouble in the army base. So it's a lot of foreigners rather than us soldiers, that cause soo much fucking trouble. But im pretty sure you wouldnt so that sort of stuff, but just wanted to tell you there's reasons why clubs in itaewon do that.
But how could you guys just lump ALL foreigners into one group? So basically you are saying people from asia, europe, africa, austrailia, north america, and south America behave badly? So all non koreans behave badly but all koreans don't do anything? I must tell you my friend and I have had our fair share of "rowdy drunk" korean guys who started fights in edm clubs with each other. 2 of my friends got licked in the face by two different korean guys! I was harassed in multiple clubs by korean guys thinking I was "open minded" and number 1 target because I am a foreigner. BUT I still would never think ALL koreans are like that. There are just assholes everywhere, regardless of nationality! It is very racist to just say oh ALL non koreans are rowdy so they pay a 20,000 won fee but koreans don't do any of that...so they enter for free!
@@Coolman57408 exactly. There are rowdy people who cause trouble regardless of where they are from. I have seen many koreans cause problems but I would not be stupid enough to think ALL koreans are like that!
Okay, one thing I will like Korean people and anybody else that are not black to know that have a hard time accepting and understanding black people is that, just because you see a black person doesn't mean they all come from the same place. Black people are all over the world. There are American, African, Caribbean, European black people. All black people are not good at singing and dancing just like all of us are not the same shade of color. Black people come in all different shades, sizes, facial features, hair textures, etc. Some black people are loud and some black people are quiet. Some black people eat meat and some only eat plants. I think people don't take the time to look at black people as if we are human because people are occupied with being "fearful" of us. I will never understand or get why anyone would think that just because there are people with melanin in their skin that would make us less human. We are just like anybody else on this earth that is human.
*Thank you for breaking this down because really and truly it needs to be said like for instance I am a first generation American my family on both sides is originally from Jamaica and my mother is half Cuban and then of course the English black people are different and like you said European black people for instance also in France or in Germany or in the Netherlands are different and as well as of course African blacks we are not all the same and we deserve respect and to be seen as individuals that we are we have different cultures within ourselves and I wish that were respected more instead of being ignorant*
As a person that likes Korean culture, supports idols, and the music this video was very upsetting to watch for a few reasons. Placing black individuals in order to answer questions about OBVIOUS racist reasons and OBVIOUS experiences that we all know about isn't going nowhere if you continuously disregard adding subtitles. Most Korean people need to also understand the matters that are being discussed and need to acknowledge what's happening in their own country, it's not just other countries. Stop using black people as clickbait, views, in order to gain profit, or act like these types of videos are teaching everyone because not everyone speaks or understands English. If you want to actually "help" black people DO IT PROPERLY or RESPECTFULLY do it, otherwise don't help at all and DON'T GO around asking black people to be in your videos if you TRUELY DON'T WANT TO HELP.... it's that simple. What's also very upsetting is that you guys know all this deep down but choose to actively ignore and be careless to these sensitive issues on your channel. It's yet NOT educating the people that actually need education in regards to the racism in Korea apparently. Black people being HUMANS too or being treated equally is too difficult for most people, unfortunately, it's also "hard to understand" "it's irritating to advocate it" and "very tough to acknowledge these matters apparently". It's just even disturbing how ignorant some people are to these problems and sadder how it's soo normalised in many countries including Korea.
I really hate watching stuff like this because it is my goal to visit South Korea and to want to experience what its like there but watching things like this really makes me worry about going to South Korea because of the stuff that happens there that people say that goes there but i really want to go and experience it for myself but stuff like this worries me
Don't let this video put you off from going. You can still go. Just ignore all the immature fools around you that are trying to ruin your trip. They are dumb and uneducated. You just have to be strong and be yourself. But importantly of all, love yourself. It's not just Korea, sadly it's other countries that don't have a lot of black people. The world can act alien to us. Annoyingly it's just something we have to put up with if we want to travel around the world. I have dreams going to Korea, but I want to go to a part where there's other ethnic tourists. And most of all, I want to visit the nature side of Korea. Not just the towns and cities 😊
You should definitely not let this stop you but it is good to be informed of the pros and the cons of anything in life really. I think a lot of people want to go there because of kpop and dramas but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows unfortunately, so being educated on the possibilities is a must
Why let that stop you? If it is a potential réality, it wont change soon. Go there, and have the best time you can. As an older woman, unless there is a real threat to your safety, dont let fears stop you from traveling.🤗
Don't let this stop you, its just something to keep an eye on when you are there; I was there for a month and had a great time, it's a safe country with the majority being nice and just unsure on how to deal with foreigners, since it's something new
It’s weird how it’s a Korean Channel, but there’s no Korean subtitles? Does that make sense. MAybe if you could find someone to translate what they say, into Korean.
Peris is very beautiful! If Koreans see black girls who are skinny they will consider them beautiful but if they see a black girl who is more curvy or thick that’s considered fat and they not fat. It’s sad honestly!
Or if somone has a curvy body they consider attractive, then they'll sexualize it even more on top of the typical sexualization of black women already 😧
Often Unsaid Yeah they must really not like booty and boobs lol. I don’t think there’s any other group that likes skinny women so much ! Pretty much everywhere else in the world, curvy women are very appreciated haha. Even your average slender woman is going to have more boobs and butt than any attractive Korean lady lol
seeing South Africans here really warms my heart, knowing that people from a place I considered my second home are living there and experiencing new things
Please please stop saying that these women are beautiful just because they're African women are beautiful in their own way yeah but beautiful I mean that's going a little above and beyond don't you think I don't know what's going on with this world today everybody's beautiful no
What sets Africans and Koreans apart is respect. While Africans are willing to be aporoachable and respectful, majority of Koreans have no respect for those who do not resemble their shade of color. If you are not aware or uneducated about a person culture its obvious you must not infiltrates their bubble or behave unethical. Making excuses such as "oh they don't know" or "oh their culture is different" is ignorant. These excuses give Koreans the power to continue with their behaviors. At the end of the day, you don't have to like the person but you should make a priority to be respectful.
@@mylifemyjourneylincy6028 you are correct. Not every culture groups are open to understanding or accepting foreign cultures. I believe education can help fix that but their so little it can do as well. I think well developed countries should embrace differences rather than putting people in categories and attaching stereotypes to their names.
I can definitely confirm the Ajumma (spelling?) experience. My sister is dark and heavyset and on the train, no one wanted to sit next to her but if I sat down, nothing happened and no one had an issue sitting next to me. It really made my sister cry and made me realize how closed minded some people really can be. I'm willing to give Korea another chance by coming back, but the racism that these beautiful ladies speak of is very true and real. I too did a lot of research on how black people are treated in Korea and that helped me a lot before going. These women are beautiful and very amazing. More people need to see this video to see the true standpoint.
I dont think most of it is mean racism, more ignorance and the younger generation astounding shyness... I was think taking the time to educate one at a time is like missionary work....
@@ScarlettKriss I can agree with you on this. When I was there, I did notice the younger generation were more open to foreigners whereas the older were not. I'm assuming its because of the whole traditions and customs thing. But, I fully agree with you
@@ScarlettKriss I think it's racism and ignorance. If they are going by what they've seen in the media then there's no excuse as to why they would treat white people better than black people.
@@ScarlettKriss In Europe we sit next to whoever...we are glad we found a sit and don't have to stand all the way. Sometimes people would ask if the seat is free whilst some will sit without asking. What does shyness has to do with sitting? Now I understand why most Koreans in western world like it here better. just saying
I am sorry that you and your sister have experienced a rude lady(called ajummma)😢...As Korean, the conservative generation has yet to be replaced as Korea has developed rapidly in a short period of time, and the consciousness of the younger generation is gradually changing. Though it has developed rapidly in technical and other areas, it seems that Korea needs a little more time because it is too short a time for a change in civic consciousness compared to other countries. Once again, I would like to say that I am sorry to the person who received racial discrimination in Korea as a Korean. (I’m not good at English so I hope you understand my opinions without misunderstanding.)
Well said!! I find that Koreans are so shocked when they find that I am not into kpop and that I go to places like Convent, and FF Club, and I'm into indie bands and Rock bands. Like we aren't all hip hop and twerk squad lol. These ladies were well spoken and I love it. Stop placing us in the zoo dammit!!
Thank you! I'm like I don't know how to dance, sing or rap and I would not say I have swag whatsoever because I'm just a very awkward introverted black girl lol
Black people and African people are like that. I get a lot of hate from Blacks and African for not liking hip hop and African music. I’m more into rock and 90’s-00’s pop music.
Yoohhh Palesa and Zizi, I'm also from South Africa and learning Korean...this inspired me to study even harder. I also had my doubts going into my Korean studying journey, but this video made me realize that there are other S.A women in S.K that can help a sister out.💛💛💛💛💛🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Subtitle subtitles subtitles subtitles subtitles subtitles subtitle subtitles subtitles in KOREAN PLEASE. How are Korean supposed to get anything out of this if it's no in the official language of the country, Korean??
After two days there aren't any Korean subtitles? How are Koreans who don't speak English supposed to understand?? I'm seriously questioning this video's intent...
@@SunShine-rl9yg Ignorant comment. The whole point of this video is to share how Black people feel. No korean is going to learn a language just to hear what Black people feel like in Korea, unless it's easily available to them to hear... aka Korean. That's life, no one's going to go out of their way for people they don't even care to enough to consider, unless it's convenient to them.

Well done for doing this. I’m really glad the ladies were so honest. As some other commenters have said, I think it’ll be fantastic if you add Korean subtitles so that the video can be understood in its entirety. If the ladies are up for it, I think a video where the guys from the previous video about black people’s stereotypes and them, coming together for both fun and honest conversations would be good. Never know, some genuine friendships may come out of it.
HeadlessCat Likewise. Seems to be a poor attempt at pandering to the channels black viewership who commented on previous videos. If the intention was to inform their Korean viewers, the subtitles would have been added, even if it was an initial oversight in the video itself. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But not now. There is obviously no intention to inform Koreans with this video. Sad really. It could have been useful.
The south african woman in the black dress has many a lot of good reflections around these issues, and she is very gorgeous too. Put that aside, I feel extremely embarassed yet frustrating each time when I literally have to lecture anyone about other people or cultures, in this case stereotypes based on race or skin color. I hate bearing this burden of lecturing my relatives about people from different ethnicites because since many in my relatives has some kind of racial stigma against other people. I am asian and I am sometimes utterly disgusted over the ignorance of my own people, yet I hope that in the future these people start to see more foreigners, then they might get used to a new and wider environment, hopefully acknowledge and reduce these racial stereotypes.
“We might be black but we’re humans.” That is so sad and wrong. Jesus this is awful. They all handle these situations so well and they are such nice and humble and amazing people to deal with all these people and difficulties. To be honest if someone touched me without my permission I would break their wrist because of how fast I would slap them away.
She's referring to PPL staring if you're a foreigner. That tend to happen a lot if you're not Asian or Korean because Korean ppl are curious. I don't like the victimization angle esp. b/c she's assuming Korean ppl look at her as an animal when they're just curious.
@@princessfairy3499 You ever seen Africans react to a white person coming to their village? Yea, that's called being curious. How about when I am the only Asian person in the Black neighborhood, and they all give me the stink eye prob bc they think I'm out of place or don't belong there? Stop with the BS double standards.
@@chrisc1184 there's a way you can treat someone and feel welcomed and a way you can treat someone and make them feel uncomfortable. As far as I know, the 'whites' who you are talking about never come out of the "black villages" and complain about being treated as an animal or having anxiety afterwards. Plus, one can ask for consent before just touching someone. It can be so uncomfortable at times too
@@lynnelitali4204 I already touched on the point that ppl are not seeing as Blacks as animals. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect for sure and people that touch others without permission have no boundaries and are rude. But you're pretending that Asians aren't treated like utter crap in Black neighborhoods (and even outside them) in the US (just look at all the coronavirus assaults). My point is that it's so easy for Black people to say (Enter race) BAD. But they never acknowledge problems within their culture and communities as well towards other races, especially racist attitudes, and racist assaults. I'm really sick of the Black people are victims narrative. We should def call out bad behavior no matter what, but pretending that bad behavior is one-sided is hypocritical and exhausting.
Staci There’s a difference between being cautious and being submissive/disingenuous/contradictory. She was so busy trying not to offend that she ended up sounding silly. There’s a way to respectfully get your point across.
Chisom Anyanwu It’s in the beginning where she describes how Korean men treat her with less respect than Korean women and the end where she’s asked not to be seen as a zoo animal.
Demeter's Daughter Shutup. People express themselves differently and of course she wants to be careful with her words. Bc people try to use your words against you and make you seem bad - sorta like you’re doing right now. Let her express her experience how she wants.
Beautiful video guys, I lived in Korea for 6 months and many of them told me I was pretty so I didn't suffer alot of discrimination like that model was saying but I had a friend with darker complexion that got stared at alot and was even called ugly to her face a few times, my heart really broke for her
Korean studio and these beautiful beautiful ladies who answered to those questions helping us all who have colour on us. Iv been to Korea for vacation 4weeks I did not face racism but when u do go out for fun there is ppl who do think that coming to u and asking smh they wouldn't from Korean girls (mostly as one of the girls said "sexual" things) or asking do I know how to sing, dance(twerk) am I good at sports am I open minded 😂 those all, yes I know ppl are curious but we ain't that different..we are humans just like u all are. We are not only coloured people we are ones with personality, heart, feelings we are human beings. Let's treat and love others the way we would want them to love and treat us. ♥️♥️🙏🏾 once again thank u for this video!
This by no means says these ladies don't have experiences that are a problem that needs fixing. These are also a lot of a issues all foreigner's of all colors experiences, I have naturally red hair and I'm a halfie, I've been warned that I might have a lot of problems when I move there and to consider dying my hair unless I like my hair being petted and even cut in crowds. But I believe in general Koreans in Korea need to get themselves up to speed with cultures and people and not just education. Currently, the behavior as a whole almost seems like a deliberate ignorance. Time for people to grow.
Princess Yarkor I sorry but from analyzing your text u used halfie which is mostly common when describing half Asian so you mostly likely be of Asian descent and u said u have red hair which is not THAT common in people of African descent That not to say u aren’t it just not as likely And I do know some black people have red hair or blue eyes it just not common
‘Whereas African ppl we like expressing ourselves’ no, Africa is a whole continent. As a black person myself I hate that I hate it so much. The girl in the black dress was very good at pointing out we have different personalities, we are all different individuals. It’s like saying European ppl are all loud. Just an example btw. That is a big generalisation lmao we all speak differently and have different origins and I’d like to be distinguished, but as a black person I guess I don’t have that right. Sometimes I wonder why simply the colour of my skin must cause me trouble, it’s not like I asked for it.
I have been to Korea for a two weeks holiday and I can say the staring is definitely a thing there. But apart from the claimed ignorance, you still see people who are willing to help and for the clubs, I went to "play ground" a club in Korea where they ask for your country of origin and I was surprised when they played YEMI ALADE'S (BUM BUM BUM) its a Nigerian music by the way and I appreciated that a lot. Korea is a still a beautiful country and anyone interested should still visit, you will still met people asking you how do you dance like that, lol.
I liked this video very much because it gave black people a chance to express how it feels to be unfairly treated and judge by Koreans base on our skin color and also to express that no we we are NOT animals to be gaucked at, stared at, pointed at...and mistreated...I would watch videos where Koreans would say things like " I HEARD that black people this....I HEARD that black people that without knowing 100% for themselves if it's true or not...they'll just blindly go by what someone told them or what they HEARD just someone said it...and honestly there are alot of "Stereotypes" about Koreans that we know of but we don't buy into it..we don't lump ALL Koreans in one basket like Koreans tend to do us...we try to embrace Koreans and Korean culture while at the same time we're still being ostracized by Koreans for nothing more than our skin color and lies and misconceptions about us...unless we are a celebrity...that's what makes me feel some type of way...you of the majority of us are really good people.
After two days there aren't any Korean subtitles? How will they understand and know about this issue ?? I'm seriously questioning this video's intent...

Making videos on this type of subject is a starting point to try to change mentalities and overcome prejudices. You, girls are beautiful.🙂🙂 Thank you korean studio, great video.👍👍🌻🌞🌻
only if the target audience can understand it tho because some koreans don't speak english and it's no subtitles on this video where others have them ok
You guys should put Korean subtitles so it would be easier for Koreans to understand this. They brought up some really important things especially 흑형 and 흑누나 👌
Now this was a great video to follow up the other one, because unfortunately that video did receive a lot of backlash. so it was nice to see that they put actual black people in a video to explain their experiences and some of the stereotypes/attitude that they would like to change.
SHOUT OUT TO PALESA And ZIZI WATERS!!! Lots of love from SA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 But like how are Koreans supposed to know about these things if there are no Korean subtitles. I'm not sure if this was a simple mistake to forget subtitles or Korean Studio is protecting/shielding Koreans from this bitter pill of truth😶
It’s been a month since im in Korea and I can say that’s everything that I have been said is the reflection of the reality. I didn’t experienced any racism being here but I get pretty much get stared everyday. At first it’s was really weird but I think with the time I got used to it. Actually I encountered a lot of elderly people and they were really nice to me they were saying « oh you’re so pretty ! » all the time and smile at me in metro/bus/ street. Sometimes they are curious and ask a lot of questions... Once of them touched my hair once without asking... And the part about being considered as beautiful as Perry said take an important role of how they’re going to act with u i think. They judge a lot by the look. ( not everyone of course) And also I encountered french people (a family) they we’re white and they told me that koreans people were really cold to them. The girl even told me that a korean man said she had a weird face and seemed stupid. I just hope more black people come in Korea in the future and have their own experience. To be honest it’s was not easy for me as a introvert at first. I was really scared of coming in South Korea after what people reported. But I was actually really surprised when I arrived in Korea with my mom. People were so nice and welcoming to us. I didn’t excepted that. I was kinda of chocked. So for now Korea has been good to me and I’ve gained confidence since im here. I just hope that’s in couple of years Korea will be more open about foreigners and especially black people. (english isn’t my first language so sorry for my potential mistakes ^^)
I mean this is a common experience for any country that isn't familiar with foreign visitors. Korea has never been a desired country to live in until the Hallyu wave, many old people have never seen foreigners. With time Korea will be a good tourist destination, but they have better things to focus on like the threat of North Korea. Foreigners are treated badly because of the USA Military, some would always rape women, start fights and wreck places and get away with their crimes - this is where anti- foreigners sentiment has come in from (the USA military now has a curfew) this has been going on for many years since the Korean War. I don't blame them, but with time Koreans will open up
Tbh I don’t even expect Koreans to learn everything about our cultures(yes cultures), but I want them respect and treat us JUST the way they treat other people.
Just according to what people say that have been there I really hate that there is a lot of racism in South Korea because i really wanted to visit Korea but things like this worries me and now I dont know if I still want to go or not because of things like this
You will hear things about any culture, traveling as a black person. Différent issues, or levels of issues, but issues none the less. Go, make your own experience.😉
LOL, every country has racism. Start traveling Europe and let us know your experience there too because many people I know who were not white had some issues pop up.
Six months later and still no subs 😔 they’ve really done a wonderful job with this video and the people that need to see it the most probably never will....
I understand that media can affect (movies and stuff), but this issue has been talk in hello counselor, different ent. shows, korean youtube channel. Also when idols do appropriation, people talk about it. So I don't understand why it's so difficult for them to study more? Investigate, inform themselves. Now at days there are not excuses to not get knowledge. Also, I'm guessing that their tourism and entry of foreign has increased, so they really should
*I wanted to visit Korea for so many years even my closest friends known it , I always talked about visiting Korea but based on this video noooo I have changed my mind, I will not visit, am scared they won’t like me bse of am black !*

I guess I'm wondering why her being calm is even noteworthy? lol She's literally in a sit-down interview.
Is it because she has the lightest skin color?

“We might be black, but we’re humans” 😔
Tehillahtheavocado black ppl r the first humans on this earth
@Gordon Payne There is no such thing as 'talking white'. What you are saying is considered toxic colorism. Just because they are highly educated and have good pronunciations of words, does not mean they are any less black. This is yet another reason why there is black on black prejudices, colorism, and racism; is cause of people like you having messed up ideas in their heads that us as black people have to act a certain way or you consider us to be 'acting white'. Give me a break with that toxic mess. Every single black person is an individual with their own personality and their own way of how they like to speak. So stop with the toxic colorism. You are part of the problem.
@Gordon Payne Good job spreading more stupid stereotypes. And by the way most of the women in the video are AFRICAN, not "Afro American"
Tehilllah
We might be Black, And we are human.
@Gordon Payne That is a very common Southern African accent (more specifically private school accent). It may not sound "African" because to you because Southern Africans rarely participate in RUclips videos in general. That is why a lot of people associate Nigerian or Ghanian culture more strongly as African, we see them more often talking on African culture. So I don't blame you for thinking this way. But as a Southern African, I could tell immediately they were Southern African and probably South African (which they were).
It’ll be cool to add Korean subtitles so that Korean people can understand what they’re saying. Great video by the way 🤗
Yeah i agree
I was about to comment the same thing. That way this video wouldn't come off as just pandering to black people.
Yeah when i was watching this i looked up to the captions to see if they added korean sub and they didn't, so i was like this video was created for them to understand black pple so how can they understand wat was said in this vid without Kor sub 🤔

She said African People. She's from South Africa. Literally as someone from Africa, even if they aren't the best, almost all Africans Sing and/or Dance - dancing is literally a huge part of the culture. We dance at every event from funerals to weddings (till early morning both young and old) and there is some event going on all the time.
i think she means African culture since song and dance are big parts of a lot of African gatherings or cultures. black culture in Africa and predominantly black countries is a lot different than African American culture or black culture in the west! don't feel bad abt it bby.
We're the most hated and the most imitated of all.

@@kneecapbuster807 some can speak and understand fluently because they've watched yt or been out the country so in a way they alreay know most of the problems colored people go through (themselves included), but a lot know lil bit of it, haven't been outside the country, -the elderly doesn't use social media- and basically can't understand most of what they're saying, esp when fluent English (just like any other language) is spoken with speed and with different accents
@@kneecapbuster807 My experience here is that Koreans can definitely speak English well, but there's a very large gap between speaking and listening. When we learn a foreign language, we're much more likely to be able to text and and speak, but listening is hard.
There are also things that won't translate well because phrases don't exist or are completely different in Korean.
So there are points that some won't understand without subtitles.
we understand english.. but not all of us
I would freak out if someone I didn’t know touched me. Like personal space is such a big deal
Nolliey H I had that in korea I didn’t freak out bout I was SHOOK(it was a really old lady), but I honestly had no bad experience neither racism (cause I don’t think that was racism, it was just ignorance and curiosity... but they should ask!!) ! Otherwise It was an amazing experience
It's not just black people. I heard that old ladies in korea just get really touchy with people, especially those younger than them.
@@wynacoco8034 It's korean culture unfortunately, old people think they can get away with touching others. Also should mention because I saw this in a different video, a foreigner thought a korean woman was being racist because she bumped shoulders with her very hard... that also happens in Korea too to koreans lol. Like everything else mentioned in the video is definitely stereotyping with bad intentions, but at least the personal space thing doesn't happen because koreans are racist. If anything if a korean was being racist they would not touch you at all and try to avoid you. This is coming from a korean woman btw.
Tangee I know haha I speak korean fluently and I know korean culture and have a lot of korean friends.

I went there twice, it was nice no one was being mean, everyone was super nice to me and my family 👌🏾
Then you will never travel. You can face that treatment anywhere. I get that in the US! Get out there and explore.
it should not matter im 14 i plan on going there to study aboard when i go to college im not as worried because people are not going to like you or treat you different everywhere but dont let that stop you form going somewhere you want to go that will hold you back from doing lots of things just take the chance ok

It would just be mainly non Koreans watching this, and they already know these problems already.

I get your point but a lot of Koreans actually understand English and are able to read it. It's mandatory for them to take in school many of their schools. The video still SHOULD have subs though.

I blame media for most of the perceptions of black people. If all you have to go off is movies and television than you're going to think that how people really are.

Pls put up Korean subtitles, they are the target audience.
we are watching....
It’s sad that Korean people have those preconceived notions about black people. Koreans HEAVILY participate in black culture through music and style so you would think they would be a little more open. The likelihood that a problematic black person is going to come to korea and cause problems is slim to none. The black people who actually want to take the time to travel and immerse themselves in culture are the LEAST of Korean people’s worries. It’s a bit frustrating.
Many Koreans, many asians for that matter are extremely racist toward black prople
@venomspeak that was the old days when kpop barely started I don't see much of it anymore. They are influenced but they also make their own sound they don't all copy from hip-hop and r&b.
How true,just like alot of other countries. They are accepting of the white man and almost go as far as glorifying whiteness but will treat a black person like a dog amd still want to embrace black culture at the same time. No sense of direction in my opinion.
The only reason I want to go to Korea is because of kpop LMAO (EXO to be exact).

Not true. They study English. But it's different when it comes to understanding the nuances of a conversation in English. Many English teachers in Korea have explained this. And still, what's the use of making a video for Koreans without Korean subtitles? Something tells me this video is simply about them doing a video to make us think they really give a damn....but if they really had the desire to educate Koreans there would be subtitles.

I'm a black female, I wasn't born with the "power" to dance. I can't dance at all. I can sing, but as all these other famous singers. I like drawing, I like art, I like comedy, and books. Along with shows, like anime. I am always judged, and always thought of as "Rude" , "Wild" , "Fierce" and "Loud" I am not any of those things.. So this hurts me, that us black girls, and woman are portrayed as this. I blame it on the media.
I think anyone can dance. Even if it looks like they have 2 left feet and 7 broken toes. (This is why I don't dance in public)
I'm not making light of your comment, I wanted to try to make you smile at that thought.
Truly, I wish the media would portray all of us in the same light. To highlight the positive in every race. So that everyone is included. I think that would be a big step in changing minds and behaviors.
Yea idk if I can dance I’m okay at singing but having melanin doesn’t mean we are all the same person… we are all different people. All Brunettes aren’t the same, all Blondes aren’t the same
the lady in black: her accent, her looks, her dress, her voice, her demeanor....i am in love
She reminds me of Rihanna
South African English accent, not that we have one accent
Yes I love her accent it sounded more Caribbean than South African to me at first

I spent a month in Korea and the one thing I found annoying is the "foreigner tax". I went to a HIP HOP club in Itaewon (foreigner district in seoul) with my korean friend. They let her in for free but told me I should pay 20,000 won entry fee. Wtf?
Lol thats definitely not fair but there's an excuse for that.. it's because in itaewon, there's a long history of foreigners at night being drunk and getting crazy wild(getting into fights, inguring people, breaking things, etc)..
@@user-rj8mk6fz1u On the wall they wrote something about american soldiers getting into fights. I am from Germany. what do I have to do with american soldiers? imagine if clubs in germany inforced an asian or korean tax because chinese people caused trouble in a club? You can't just say ALL foreigners are the same?
@@athenasuperheldin1017 well u cant call it tax. U dont pay more for everything. Its just clubs in itaewon. You could always go to other clubs like in gangnam or hongdae. And yes, its unfair, but it's not just soldiers that are infamous for causing trouble in clubs. Something about soldiers was probably on the wall because a lot of us soldiers sneak out at night to itaewon and they're not supposed to do that. There are even us army police to look for us soldiers who sneaked out at night.rather, us soldiers tend to behave better because they dont wanna get in trouble in the army base. So it's a lot of foreigners rather than us soldiers, that cause soo much fucking trouble. But im pretty sure you wouldnt so that sort of stuff, but just wanted to tell you there's reasons why clubs in itaewon do that.
But how could you guys just lump ALL foreigners into one group? So basically you are saying people from asia, europe, africa, austrailia, north america, and south America behave badly? So all non koreans behave badly but all koreans don't do anything? I must tell you my friend and I have had our fair share of "rowdy drunk" korean guys who started fights in edm clubs with each other. 2 of my friends got licked in the face by two different korean guys! I was harassed in multiple clubs by korean guys thinking I was "open minded" and number 1 target because I am a foreigner. BUT I still would never think ALL koreans are like that. There are just assholes everywhere, regardless of nationality! It is very racist to just say oh ALL non koreans are rowdy so they pay a 20,000 won fee but koreans don't do any of that...so they enter for free!
@@Coolman57408 exactly. There are rowdy people who cause trouble regardless of where they are from. I have seen many koreans cause problems but I would not be stupid enough to think ALL koreans are like that!
Okay, one thing I will like Korean people and anybody else that are not black to know that have a hard time accepting and understanding black people is that, just because you see a black person doesn't mean they all come from the same place. Black people are all over the world. There are American, African, Caribbean, European black people. All black people are not good at singing and dancing just like all of us are not the same shade of color. Black people come in all different shades, sizes, facial features, hair textures, etc. Some black people are loud and some black people are quiet. Some black people eat meat and some only eat plants. I think people don't take the time to look at black people as if we are human because people are occupied with being "fearful" of us. I will never understand or get why anyone would think that just because there are people with melanin in their skin that would make us less human. We are just like anybody else on this earth that is human.

*Thank you for breaking this down because really and truly it needs to be said like for instance I am a first generation American my family on both sides is originally from Jamaica and my mother is half Cuban and then of course the English black people are different and like you said European black people for instance also in France or in Germany or in the Netherlands are different and as well as of course African blacks we are not all the same and we deserve respect and to be seen as individuals that we are we have different cultures within ourselves and I wish that were respected more instead of being ignorant*

As a person that likes Korean culture, supports idols, and the music this video was very upsetting to watch for a few reasons. Placing black individuals in order to answer questions about OBVIOUS racist reasons and OBVIOUS experiences that we all know about isn't going nowhere if you continuously disregard adding subtitles. Most Korean people need to also understand the matters that are being discussed and need to acknowledge what's happening in their own country, it's not just other countries. Stop using black people as clickbait, views, in order to gain profit, or act like these types of videos are teaching everyone because not everyone speaks or understands English. If you want to actually "help" black people DO IT PROPERLY or RESPECTFULLY do it, otherwise don't help at all and DON'T GO around asking black people to be in your videos if you TRUELY DON'T WANT TO HELP.... it's that simple. What's also very upsetting is that you guys know all this deep down but choose to actively ignore and be careless to these sensitive issues on your channel. It's yet NOT educating the people that actually need education in regards to the racism in Korea apparently. Black people being HUMANS too or being treated equally is too difficult for most people, unfortunately, it's also "hard to understand" "it's irritating to advocate it" and "very tough to acknowledge these matters apparently". It's just even disturbing how ignorant some people are to these problems and sadder how it's soo normalised in many countries including Korea.
I agree with you but it’s also helpful for people who want to move there

Don't let this video put you off from going. You can still go. Just ignore all the immature fools around you that are trying to ruin your trip. They are dumb and uneducated. You just have to be strong and be yourself. But importantly of all, love yourself. It's not just Korea, sadly it's other countries that don't have a lot of black people. The world can act alien to us. Annoyingly it's just something we have to put up with if we want to travel around the world. I have dreams going to Korea, but I want to go to a part where there's other ethnic tourists. And most of all, I want to visit the nature side of Korea. Not just the towns and cities 😊
You should definitely not let this stop you but it is good to be informed of the pros and the cons of anything in life really. I think a lot of people want to go there because of kpop and dramas but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows unfortunately, so being educated on the possibilities is a must
Why let that stop you? If it is a potential réality, it wont change soon. Go there, and have the best time you can. As an older woman, unless there is a real threat to your safety, dont let fears stop you from traveling.🤗
It’s good to have exposure to it, so when you go, you know what to expect

What sets Africans and Koreans apart is respect. While Africans are willing to be aporoachable and respectful, majority of Koreans have no respect for those who do not resemble their shade of color. If you are not aware or uneducated about a person culture its obvious you must not infiltrates their bubble or behave unethical. Making excuses such as "oh they don't know" or "oh their culture is different" is ignorant. These excuses give Koreans the power to continue with their behaviors. At the end of the day, you don't have to like the person but you should make a priority to be respectful.

I too did a lot of research on how black people are treated in Korea and that helped me a lot before going. These women are beautiful and very amazing.

I am sorry that you and your sister have experienced a rude lady(called ajummma)😢...As Korean, the conservative generation has yet to be replaced as Korea has developed rapidly in a short period of time, and the consciousness of the younger generation is gradually changing. Though it has developed rapidly in technical and other areas, it seems that Korea needs a little more time because it is too short a time for a change in civic consciousness compared to other countries. Once again, I would like to say that I am sorry to the person who received racial discrimination in Korea as a Korean. (I’m not good at English so I hope you understand my opinions without misunderstanding.)
Well said!! I find that Koreans are so shocked when they find that I am not into kpop and that I go to places like Convent, and FF Club, and I'm into indie bands and Rock bands.

If the intention was to inform their Korean viewers, the subtitles would have been added, even if it was an initial oversight in the video itself. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But not now. There is obviously no intention to inform Koreans with this video. Sad really. It could have been useful.
The south african woman in the black dress has many a lot of good reflections around these issues, and she is very gorgeous too. Put that aside, I feel extremely embarassed yet frustrating each time when I literally have to lecture anyone about other people or cultures, in this case stereotypes based on race or skin color. I hate bearing this burden of lecturing my relatives about people from different ethnicites because since many in my relatives has some kind of racial stigma against other people. I am asian and I am sometimes utterly disgusted over the ignorance of my own people, yet I hope that in the future these people start to see more foreigners, then they might get used to a new and wider environment, hopefully acknowledge and reduce these racial stereotypes.
Vanessa has SUCHHH beautiful skin! She is gorgeous!!!!
“We might be black but we’re humans.” That is so sad and wrong. Jesus this is awful. They all handle these situations so well and they are such nice and humble and amazing people to deal with all these people and difficulties. To be honest if someone touched me without my permission I would break their wrist because of how fast I would slap them away.
She's referring to PPL staring if you're a foreigner. That tend to happen a lot if you're not Asian or Korean because Korean ppl are curious. I don't like the victimization angle esp. b/c she's assuming Korean ppl look at her as an animal when they're just curious.
@@chrisc1184 curious about what exactly? Wtf!
@@princessfairy3499 You ever seen Africans react to a white person coming to their village? Yea, that's called being curious.
How about when I am the only Asian person in the Black neighborhood, and they all give me the stink eye prob bc they think I'm out of place or don't belong there? Stop with the BS double standards.
@@chrisc1184 there's a way you can treat someone and feel welcomed and a way you can treat someone and make them feel uncomfortable. As far as I know, the 'whites' who you are talking about never come out of the "black villages" and complain about being treated as an animal or having anxiety afterwards. Plus, one can ask for consent before just touching someone. It can be so uncomfortable at times too
@@lynnelitali4204 I already touched on the point that ppl are not seeing as Blacks as animals. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect for sure and people that touch others without permission have no boundaries and are rude. But you're pretending that Asians aren't treated like utter crap in Black neighborhoods (and even outside them) in the US (just look at all the coronavirus assaults).
My point is that it's so easy for Black people to say (Enter race) BAD. But they never acknowledge problems within their culture and communities as well towards other races, especially racist attitudes, and racist assaults.
I'm really sick of the Black people are victims narrative. We should def call out bad behavior no matter what, but pretending that bad behavior is one-sided is hypocritical and exhausting.
The gorgeous Palesa representing! 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I really like how this channel always talk about black people in South Korea.
cause they know they're going to get views
@@TheICEgirl6100 👀
But never add korean sub for their people to understand and learn 🙄
Well it attracts black people outside of Korea
Are there any South African peeps in the comments
Yaaaas
We here
We are here
Yeeeees
Yes we are here
*Describes racist experiences
*Says she’s never experienced any racist experiences
*Constantly apologizes
The girl in the red shirt is hella goofy.
Her name is Peris. She has a RUclips channel and she's just trying to be cautious
Staci There’s a difference between being cautious and being submissive/disingenuous/contradictory. She was so busy trying not to offend that she ended up sounding silly. There’s a way to respectfully get your point across.
@@DelovelyD but she hasn't experienced them. She was describing people that had told her about their racist experiences.
Chisom Anyanwu It’s in the beginning where she describes how Korean men treat her with less respect than Korean women and the end where she’s asked not to be seen as a zoo animal.
Demeter's Daughter Shutup. People express themselves differently and of course she wants to be careful with her words. Bc people try to use your words against you and make you seem bad - sorta like you’re doing right now. Let her express her experience how she wants.
Beautiful video guys, I lived in Korea for 6 months and many of them told me I was pretty so I didn't suffer alot of discrimination like that model was saying but I had a friend with darker complexion that got stared at alot and was even called ugly to her face a few times, my heart really broke for her
I’m black as night and I’m gorgeous darling. I’m feeling myself. All day, e’ry day!! 🙌🏾 So those koreans who called your friend ugly are idiots.
I would slap there ass 🙄🙄🙄
This vid is a waste of time without Korean subtitles.
I love all of their accents. Especially the one in black💜
All these women’s voices are so soothing and nice I love it and the woman from South Africa is so pretty love her accent !!!!!
I Hate it when they say it’s difficult because they are black it makes me so sad when they are so kind beautiful
Korean studio and these beautiful beautiful ladies who answered to those questions helping us all who have colour on us. Iv been to Korea for vacation 4weeks I did not face racism but when u do go out for fun there is ppl who do think that coming to u and asking smh they wouldn't from Korean girls (mostly as one of the girls said "sexual" things) or asking do I know how to sing, dance(twerk) am I good at sports am I open minded 😂 those all, yes I know ppl are curious but we ain't that different..we are humans just like u all are. We are not only coloured people we are ones with personality, heart, feelings we are human beings. Let's treat and love others the way we would want them to love and treat us. ♥️♥️🙏🏾 once again thank u for this video!
Shout out to my S.A GIRLS 🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️❤️❤️
curly caaam yaaaaas!!!!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
❤❤❤
They both are amazing ❤️❤️❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦❤️
could you add subtitles for the man asking the questions? his english is good but the audio is so quiet i have a hard time hearing him sometimes
I thought about visiting but have changed my mind. Thanks for the Video.
The woman in black is gorgeous 😍also very classy
South African QUEENS HONEYYYYYY💜
yeah S.A Queen they are beautiful
Great video guys! “There are things about us that are so similar even though we look so different” YES!! 🌎🌍🌏
This by no means says these ladies don't have experiences that are a problem that needs fixing. These are also a lot of a issues all foreigner's of all colors experiences, I have naturally red hair and I'm a halfie, I've been warned that I might have a lot of problems when I move there and to consider dying my hair unless I like my hair being petted and even cut in crowds.
But I believe in general Koreans in Korea need to get themselves up to speed with cultures and people and not just education. Currently, the behavior as a whole almost seems like a deliberate ignorance. Time for people to grow.
스칼렛 민지 please don’t dye your hair, be yourself
Fineapple dot this video is about black people specifically though so why are you trying to add to the conversation???
aunesty jones SIS HOW DAFUQ YOU KNOW IM NOT BLACK???? Cuz I don’t have my profile pic up? Mind yo damn business now
aunesty jones you got me fucked up what a very ignorant thing to say
Princess Yarkor
I sorry but from analyzing your text u used halfie which is mostly common when describing half Asian so you mostly likely be of Asian descent and u said u have red hair which is not THAT common in people of African descent
That not to say u aren’t it just not as likely
And I do know some black people have red hair or blue eyes it just not common
‘Whereas African ppl we like expressing ourselves’
no, Africa is a whole continent. As a black person myself I hate that I hate it so much. The girl in the black dress was very good at pointing out we have different personalities, we are all different individuals. It’s like saying European ppl are all loud. Just an example btw. That is a big generalisation lmao we all speak differently and have different origins and I’d like to be distinguished, but as a black person I guess I don’t have that right. Sometimes I wonder why simply the colour of my skin must cause me trouble, it’s not like I asked for it.
Let’s all recommend this video to ReacThing! The host Zoey is really good at interpreting English to Korean! I think it’d help this video spread.
I have been to Korea for a two weeks holiday and I can say the staring is definitely a thing there. But apart from the claimed ignorance, you still see people who are willing to help and for the clubs, I went to "play ground" a club in Korea where they ask for your country of origin and I was surprised when they played YEMI ALADE'S (BUM BUM BUM) its a Nigerian music by the way and I appreciated that a lot. Korea is a still a beautiful country and anyone interested should still visit, you will still met people asking you how do you dance like that, lol.
Peace Dkpoplover ayyyyy Yemi Aladaeeee
Wow... I love Nigerian music., It's 💯🔥
@@justhuman1722 lol. You do? Which country are you from?
I liked this video very much because it gave black people a chance to express how it feels to be unfairly treated and judge by Koreans base on our skin color and also to express that no we we are NOT animals to be gaucked at, stared at, pointed at...and mistreated...I would watch videos where Koreans would say things like " I HEARD that black people this....I HEARD that black people that without knowing 100% for themselves if it's true or not...they'll just blindly go by what someone told them or what they HEARD just someone said it...and honestly there are alot of "Stereotypes" about Koreans that we know of but we don't buy into it..we don't lump ALL Koreans in one basket like Koreans tend to do us...we try to embrace Koreans and Korean culture while at the same time we're still being ostracized by Koreans for nothing more than our skin color and lies and misconceptions about us...unless we are a celebrity...that's what makes me feel some type of way...you of the majority of us are really good people.
After two days there aren't any Korean subtitles? How will they understand and know about this issue ?? I'm seriously questioning this video's intent...
Roberta Williams-Beverly AMEN
It's unfortunate but most of these preconceived notions comes from American media. So it's not like it was invented by Korea.
She look like Nia Long on the cool.
I thought it was her at first.
Latoya Windom right
"Don't judg on people by skin color please, we're humans"
That first girl is absolutely stunning to me
Those women are so beautiful and they talked so well 😭💕💕💕
PLEASE, PUT KOREAN SUBTITLES ON THIS VIDEO. KOREAN PEOPLE WONT KNOW THIS PERSPECTIVE IF ITS NOT IN KOREAN.
thanks for doing this
the girls were really polite about it...
really really hope the korean society could be more open minded to certain things:)
After two days there aren't any Korean subtitles? How are Koreans who don't speak English supposed to understand?? I'm seriously questioning this video's intent...
@@bribbri3697 I agree
Hello Peris ,your Kenyan 🇰🇪 sister here loves you!!😍😍😍
This videos is NECESSARY!!! Those women are amazing!
A korean subtitle should be made for koreans to understand the message. They need to know to reduce these rasist experience.
Well said!!! I love open conversations! It helps creates bonds between people.
Thank you 💜
Making videos on this type of subject is a starting point to try to change mentalities and overcome prejudices.
You, girls are beautiful.🙂🙂 Thank you korean studio, great video.👍👍🌻🌞🌻
only if the target audience can understand it tho because some koreans don't speak english and it's no subtitles on this video where others have them ok
The club thing is so messed up I've never heard of that.
You guys should put Korean subtitles so it would be easier for Koreans to understand this. They brought up some really important things especially 흑형 and 흑누나 👌
Now this was a great video to follow up the other one, because unfortunately that video did receive a lot of backlash. so it was nice to see that they put actual black people in a video to explain their experiences and some of the stereotypes/attitude that they would like to change.
SHOUT OUT TO PALESA And ZIZI WATERS!!! Lots of love from SA🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
But like how are Koreans supposed to know about these things if there are no Korean subtitles. I'm not sure if this was a simple mistake to forget subtitles or Korean Studio is protecting/shielding Koreans from this bitter pill of truth😶
It’s been a month since im in Korea and I can say that’s everything that I have been said is the reflection of the reality. I didn’t experienced any racism being here but I get pretty much get stared everyday. At first it’s was really weird but I think with the time I got used to it.
Actually I encountered a lot of elderly people and they were really nice to me they were saying « oh you’re so pretty ! » all the time and smile at me in metro/bus/ street.
Sometimes they are curious and ask a lot of questions...
Once of them touched my hair once without asking...
And the part about being considered as beautiful as Perry said take an important role of how they’re going to act with u i think. They judge a lot by the look. ( not everyone of course)
And also I encountered french people (a family) they we’re white and they told me that koreans people were really cold to them.
The girl even told me that a korean man said she had a weird face and seemed stupid.
I just hope more black people come in Korea in the future and have their own experience.
To be honest it’s was not easy for me as a introvert at first. I was really scared of coming in South Korea after what people reported.
But I was actually really surprised when I arrived in Korea with my mom.
People were so nice and welcoming to us.
I didn’t excepted that. I was kinda of chocked.
So for now Korea has been good to me and I’ve gained confidence since im here.
I just hope that’s in couple of years Korea will be more open about foreigners and especially black people.
(english isn’t my first language so sorry for my potential mistakes ^^)
I mean this is a common experience for any country that isn't familiar with foreign visitors. Korea has never been a desired country to live in until the Hallyu wave, many old people have never seen foreigners. With time Korea will be a good tourist destination, but they have better things to focus on like the threat of North Korea. Foreigners are treated badly because of the USA Military, some would always rape women, start fights and wreck places and get away with their crimes - this is where anti- foreigners sentiment has come in from (the USA military now has a curfew) this has been going on for many years since the Korean War. I don't blame them, but with time Koreans will open up
Hey Juju 😊
@@garlicK_ing Hello ;))))
Where you accepted into clubs without pay or being told no based on being a foreigner and your skin tone?
@@CayLily Actually I dont do clubbing so i have no idea...
Tbh I don’t even expect Koreans to learn everything about our cultures(yes cultures), but I want them respect and treat us JUST the way they treat other people.
Lots of love from South Africa
I really loved this video❤
Please do one about Muslims💚
Just according to what people say that have been there I really hate that there is a lot of racism in South Korea because i really wanted to visit Korea but things like this worries me and now I dont know if I still want to go or not because of things like this
You will hear things about any culture, traveling as a black person. Différent issues, or levels of issues, but issues none the less. Go, make your own experience.😉
LOL, every country has racism. Start traveling Europe and let us know your experience there too because many people I know who were not white had some issues pop up.
After two days there aren't any Korean subtitles? I'm seriously questioning this video's intent...
Six months later and still no subs 😔 they’ve really done a wonderful job with this video and the people that need to see it the most probably never will....
i’m not black but i love this video. i hope they can add korean subtitles so they can be educated. i hope this changes. black lives matter.
Does the woman in all black have a channel?
Yeah she does....Palesa something...lol I forgot
Yea her page is palesa mokhele
It’s nice to see my fellow South Africans represent!
I understand that media can affect (movies and stuff), but this issue has been talk in hello counselor, different ent. shows, korean youtube channel. Also when idols do appropriation, people talk about it. So I don't understand why it's so difficult for them to study more? Investigate, inform themselves. Now at days there are not excuses to not get knowledge. Also, I'm guessing that their tourism and entry of foreign has increased, so they really should
0:29, I could tell she was south African straight away
the bambi who?
@Ace Anime She isn't mixed
IKR LOL
@Ace Anime no she is straight black . No mix there am a black South African with dark African parents and I have her skin color .
*I wanted to visit Korea for so many years even my closest friends known it , I always talked about visiting Korea but based on this video noooo I have changed my mind, I will not visit, am scared they won’t like me bse of am black !*
