When she was on stage I started to tear a little bit because she’s a young person going after her dream and has more courage than those who never went after theirs and only judge others.

1:52 Togo has more than 55 dialects and has French as the national language, or English in some parts. I think the one he speaks is called EWE , the language of my village 😄
@@angelreynolds8554My fiancé's parents both grew up in what is now ghana because of the border separation. His dad went to a french school. His mom went to a english school. His mom's village is about 2 hours away from his sister in Togo. They both speak ewe. They ended up moving from both of their hometowns in ghana and moved to now togo.
I know the videos are a few years old and I really wonder how the biggest sister is doing nowadays! Seeing her being so passionate about her dream is really nice to see.
Hope This channel will help them .They are earning a lot from views and like so better do that. Wisdom is such a cute boy reminds me of my brother he too is chubby and always nagging his mum Bless this family💗
I know how hard it is to be an actor (especially in Korea if you aren't ethnically Korean!) but she seems so determined and a good actor from what little I saw, I genuinely hope she can succeed and get some roles even if they end up being smaller or supporting roles.
She is talented & beautiful, However her dream of becoming a working actress in Korea is unlikely and will hurt her sweet spirit. She’d do much better in a non Asian country like U.S, Canada or UK. These places favor ethnic actors, diversity in tv/film.
@@th4ttrash Koreans won’t change quick enough. They also put white people on a pedestal over others. When she is older she can go to the other countries for university and pursue acting. Much higher chance!
On the contrary. There are roles that are needed from her. Think of Squid games. Korea is not all about only Asian-looking people. There are white people who come out in dramas too. She'll be a valuable asset to Korea and big representation of Togo.
@@calvingunhyeokyim7063 Squid games? The one Indian guy who barely spoke? There were no ethnic LEADS. I was born in Seoul and worked in TV/Film in Los Angeles in casting. My comment remains. She will have a drastically higher chance of being cast regularly in the other countries.
I mean Han Hyun Min is a famous model and has been in dramas so she can be successful. How do you expect her to move she’s gotta make due with what’s she has got.
Kind of feel sorry for the girl, and possibly the whole family. I see a future in Korea for them but possibly not one that will be ideal for them... 😕 Wishing them the best though!
Best wishes to you sir and your family..🤗🤗 such a hard worker and helping so many others too🥺 it must be tiring but one day it will all be worth it. Love and gudluck from sydney!
Do we not see the culture mix here? These folks are Africans, speaking English, Korean and their native African language in Korea and buying products with American dollaz. Wow! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I feel extremely bad for this young girl because very soon she will have to come to the realization that her dream to be an actor in Korea is nothing but a fantasy first cuz of her appearance then because realistically speaking even finding a normal job as a black person there is hard. Also if you type black actors in Korea not even a list would pop up only one name would come out also she is better of as a model than an actor or even better their whole family need to come to America or Europe overall if she wants a well set future she need to be where she will get more opportunities as she will grow up more struggles she will face there.
Poor girl, if she was in a western country she’d have more of a chance to ‘make it’ since she’s in an Asian country she won’t have much luck since black people are tolerated not respected🤦♀️
He said his son isn’t Korean, but his son is Korean because he was born and raised in Korea. Do people around the world see it differently. If you aren’t Asian you aren’t Korean even if you were born and raised there?
Why does such a educated black man like him, that can speak 5 languages, not have a stable enough job in Korea? With those skills he has he can do many jobs that will help his family! :(
@@chrystianaw8256 dreaming is fine, but when it comes to items they don't need, they need to know that their money is reserved for essential items..they're old enough to know
I mean there isn't any wrong if they want to experience and buy stuff they like and who are we to speak . If thier parents don't have a problem I guess we should,nt as well. Everyone has the right to experience whatever they want to . We have no say in that ! 💁🏻
Damn, this made me emotional because I lived in Korea for five years as a black American woman. I remember being so impressed by the African immigrants ability to understand Korean culture, learn the language, open businesses. What saddens me is discrimination and racism they got but they still honor Koreans. These Africans did everything they possibly could to just have a better life. It’s funny because in today’s woke world, they’ll have you believe everyone is racist because you don’t get to see things like this to actually open up your mind to understand people are people regardless of their aesthetics. We are all Homo sapiens, and have the same drivers to survive, so the family-oriented Africans who moved to Korea can culturally relate to Koreans who are family oriented and traditional as well. Makes you think that all of this isn’t really about race and something more sinister. I really hope this family gets all the blessings in the world from God because I think they are good-spirited people. The little boy is exactly like Korean boys: he’s spoiled, funny, cute, probably really smart just hasn’t found his niche. Please make more docs of this family, they are great!
Does kDoc mock people it seems the narrator of this film is naming a mockery out of this family. She can act anywhere she wants it doesn't matter where she is from. Koreans need to stop being so arrogant there are so many cultures surrounding Korea and no one is judging Korea so stop judging people because they live in your country for better life. Koreans are notbthe epitome of beauty or anything they are just another Asian among all asian countries. Everyone should treat each other with equal value.
The general Korean reality show format seems to be like that. I don’t think they intentionally do it for non-Koreans. My guess is the show is meant for genuine intent to increase awareness among the general public about the different non-Korean groups/individuals living in Korea. Korea has less foreign origin people living there compared to countries like the US and still acknowledge their shortcomings and give a show to enable understanding among natives and foreign origin people. Efforts to improve and better should be respected. P.S I am not Korean
@@Bzdm0 Most countries in this world are clueless about foreigners, but they don't make shows about it, even if they did, they aren't as popular as Korean shows. Most Africans are clueless about Asia as well. Korea is just a victim of its success in being able to attract so many foreigners who get annoyed that their favorite country didn't read an encyclopedia about them.
