I love her for saying that. It's statements like that makes me stay in love with the Korean culture. As a black person, I almost responded to the prejudices negatively. "Fine, I'll just hate and detest them more than they do me". There were thoughts like that. Fortunately for me I learned that there are Koreans who admire my culture as much as I admire thiers. That overshadowed the hatred and is the reason why I continue to support them. There's nothing more color blind than love.
As an American who interacts with people of different ethnicity everyday, I find it quite surprising that Koreans can have prejudices to that kind of an extent about foreigners or people who look different. This should definitely be addressed especially as we live in a fully globalized 21st century
Christopher Yiwei Liang same, in one day I probably talk to many different people of colour and many different ethnicities and I've always grown up seeing a variety of people so I'm used to it now. Racism really surprises me because where I live its normal to be different. I don't understand where the hate is coming from.
All the comments are about the first guy just because is cute. But the real deal here is how Korea is such a racist & superficial country... of course is a concern! He is a good citizen rejected by people just because of how he looks. Like the Mc said: "it's our concern for having that prejudice" 👏🏻
Azul Ayala similar problems had been in this show. Seems like not all of them are going to change their perspective on foreigners or foreign-looking Koreans 😞 it's a bit disappointing...
OMG the guy from the first concern is so cute. I'm so sorry for him that people made fun of him because of his voice. He can't do anything against it! I feel so sorry
Ikr? I don't understand, there's a boy in my class that has a raspy voice but nobody ever made fun of him. But it's true that sometimes people look back and are surprised, but never to the extent to say "shut up, I don't wanna hear your voice" :((
The boy from the first concern is really cute ♥♥ his brother too I wish people would treat him better cuz he seems nice and his voice is not "annoying to hear" at all
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years Ikr!? His voice is different but not annoyingly different. He's such a cutie, and he doesn't deserve the harsh treatment ❤️
where did you get that information from lmao, idk if the subtitles is international age or korean age (but she looks 15 internationally) so if she was 15 (internationally) then she is 16 there
A model sounds good but if he were to ever regain a voice in the future, he'd be great as an actor. He already got the looks, height, and athleticism. I'm sure he'll be fine in the near future
As a filipino myself I find this very offensive. In the Philippines a lot of people have darker skin color than he is, his skin color isn't even considered dark in my country, we call his skin color kayumangi. Also we Filipino's never point at Koreans who come in our country and say oh look they have monolids rather that double eye lids. The raicism in Korean is too much to handle.
Mochi Ltysbl I am Filipino but I have a lighter skin color than most and most people think I'm Japanese or Korean but there is nothing wrong with having a darker skin color.
Actually he looks more like a Bumbay than a Filipino (though he could pass for one). Most Koreans are vain & think that whiter skin, double eyelids, high nose, V-shaped face etc., are the standards to be considered pretty thus almost everyone is doing plastic surgery
Saka nung tinanong siya kung anong bansa na madalas nilang inaakala kung saan siya galing, sinabi niyang sa Pilipinas parang ayaw na ayaw niya yung idea na yon. Ako din, I have lighter skin color than kayumangi. My friends and my classmates envy me dahil mas maputi ako sa kanila. Hindi naman din tayo mapanghusga sa mas dark yung skin color nila since malapit tayo sa Equator kaya tanggap na din natin na kayumangi yung skin color ng mga Filipino. Kaya nakakalungkot lang na ganon yung thinking ng Koreans. Katulad ng sinabi ni Michell yung dapat na standards ng Korean yung maputi, v-shaped face, double eyelids, etc. Tamang-tama lang na sinabi ni Youngja na concern nila yung pagkakaroon ng prejudice para malinawan yung mga Korean.
1:12:50 "It's our concern for having that prejudice." Youngja nailed it. One of the reasons why I can continue appreciating and loving Korean culture but I will never visit the country, at least not until a lot has changed.
As a Korean, the general people and population don't give a fuck about what race someone is. It's just shit shows like this that represent Koreans as a bad people
@@formerIychucks I heard that to I am African American and I was really concerned about how they treat people like me of my skin one Because I want to study there and I saw that most of the time they dont care. But I its like saying hey come to American and theres no people like that here. But there is always gonna be someone.
The first guy.. I feel so sorry for him.. people are being mean.. he is so handsome and tall and has good proportions so he should just become a model and snap back at all the bullies.
I know a girl in my class who has the same voice as the boy in the 1st concern. On the first day, we had an activity and since she was new, me and my friend decided to group up with her. When I first heard her talk, I was surprised but didn't talk about it. I thought she had a cold or lost her voice temporarily. Then a month past and she still had the same voice. I've become used with her voice now and I realized that she's confident with her voice too (she talks A LOT during her presentations) so it became normal for me. It makes me mad when she answers a question of the teacher and someone in the back says 'What she said? I can't hear, talk louder'. She obviously can't, at least try to understand. I think the only solution for him, if he can't do the surgery, is being confident.
I know someone who has a voice like that also, she had heart problems and surgery and her voice became like that. It's not something they chose so people should be more understanding and happy that they were able to overcome their health problems
I happen to like his voice it's unique and he is handsome 😁 He is strong for going on this show and telling his story 💪🏽💗he can also make Instant Noodles 💗that's my type of man 😂
I was expecting a voice more similar to a childhood friend of mine, but it wasn't the same. It was more airy though. Because my childhood friend basically had the voice of a 60 year old whiskey addict who had smoked since the age of 18, except he was 9 years old. That's a raspy voice. I don't really get why he would get teased though. I thought my friend had an unique voice, but I didn't think more of it. As far as I know, he wasn't teased about it either, although he has some problems, some form of learning disability and such. That's what he was teased for by a select few, although not much.
Weeeeeeeeeh there is nothing wrong with being Filipino. 🇵🇭🇵🇭 It's sad that beauty standards are so prevalent in certain societies. It also took me a while to accept my Filipino features (flat nose), and I still criticize myself for it, however I've been seeing myself in a more positive light. Darker skin also can be beautiful, so are monolids. Everyone is beautiful in their own way! Let's make sure to appreciate that!!
Jian Bhe happy with your flat nose, small noses are super cute! I never understood why high bridge noses are so sought after. They really don't make such a huge difference to the face imo. Probably because it's a common trait among westerners, so Asia just wants to follow.
Some Filipinos that I know are warm-hearted, friendly, eloquent, they're bilingual (or even multilingual), and they can be so beautiful too! Be proud of who you are
that mom from the second concern really pissed me off when she kept smiling like something was funny and basically admitted that she won't even care about her Sujin when she leaves the house. like she doesn't let her do anything and even her 2 youngest kids are afraid of her and she still can't see a problem w the way she's acting fskajfhakdfakl
I honestly likes his voice,he's handsome and nice..people shouldn't judge him and make fun of him because his voice..I know how it feels to be tease or talk about and it hurts a lot and you stop talking and stop opening to others..but I really hope that they treat him and others Better then judge others because what they look,wear,say/their voice,size/weight,race and other things instead talk to them first or don't say nothing at all and mind your business
Stephanie Almeida aww don't be! There are different beauty standards around the world. I assure you that in many European countries, tanned skin = better looking. Just the other day, my Spanish uncle told us to go out in the sun more to get really brown cause it's better to look tanned than pale. So let's not judge ourselves based on Korean beauty standards cause we dark skinned people obviously don't fit in with it. But that doesn't mean we're not favoured by other cultures around the world. At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Dango Daikazoku I am very proud of my skin color and would not mind being darker. I feel sorry for those good people who go to Korea for a better life.
Stephanie Almeida oh right, sorry for misunderstanding your comment. I thought you found the concern hard to watch cause you can relate with it. I totally agree, it's horrible for dark skinned foreigners going to Korea to earn a living - especially considering how there are a lot of OFW's (Overseas Filipino Workers) that immigrate to South Korea to support their families! I myself am filipino, but I wasn't really hurt by the last concern cause I've come to accept my naturally tanned skin. But I know that my fellow kpop obsessed Filipino friends would get hurt by watching the last concern. I have one friend who for sure is watching this episode (cause Red Velvet is her bias group), and she told me she wanted to move to Korea one day. It's gonna be really sad for her to watch this!
Why we ashamed of our color?I love my color brown,problema na Yan sa tao Hindi sau,Kung ayaw nila sa tan di wow sila na maputi,pero di ko Naman gusto kaputian nila mukha Naman patay,make up lang nagpaganda sa kanila
The first kids family is so kind?!?!?!? Like they're so soft spoken and understanding its grreaaat. Also they all have gorgeous tan skin WHICH IM LIVING FORRRR!
This episode just proved, Joy is a true empath. It's sad at 52:24 that the girl doesn't understand this or just doesn't want sympathy but a way to solve her problem at the moment. She probably hangs out with boys more than a group of girls, assuming the count of boyfriends are real, you know how some girls are when another gets all the guys. Girls can give insight on such important matters and ways to get around parents who are like this. Sometimes you gotta be a people pleaser while staying true to yourself.
The last concern is making me so sad and mad. People are just so mean. Also, lets stop calling it "exotic" look. as described in the video info. Its not exotic. There are more people who look like that than the entire south east asia in India alone.
i know we always criticize hello counselor for their lack of professionals but i feel like they are improving and listening to the concerns better (they used to laugh alot even at some serious concerns)
The third concern just shows how racism seems to be completely normal in South Korea... How come being a foreigner is a bad thing? The worst of all is the fact that the man came and his concern is "people think I'm a foreigner": is that an insult or something??? And when he explained that he asked his mother if their ancestors were foreigners, he said she beat him up like??? Is it something people should be ashamed of? Sorry if there are some faults, english isn't my first language but I'm totally shocked right now.
yeah i understand your shock. the reason she hit her own son was so appaling. like damn it wasn't even that serious for her to do. that is extremely shocking. very shocking actually. thats a serious concern
25:38 "You must live with that. If you can't overcome that, life will be difficult. You have to learn to embrace that." This is the best advice for Yeongyun! 파이팅! I wish all the best for you.
I'm honestly kind of disappointed in Wendy because she's from Canada so I thought she would speak more about concerns of discrimination and abuse. She seems rather reserved and conservative which is different from her personality when she is with Red Velvet. I'm glad Joy spoke up about her concerns and she seemed more open minded than Wendy which makes me surprised. Especially, the last guy when he got discriminated because of his skin color; Wendy said to be more brave and live confidently which doesn't help at all. I'm glad Joy spoke up and said that Korea needs to change not him. Also I'm glad the counselors actually said it was discrimination and violence.
My Tran i think Idols in General Dont talk about this matter that much or voice their opinion because maybe the agency told them to do so , often they are there to entertain people, if you notice idols are only giving certain parts of personal information to us , maybe their whole personality is given from their agency I hope you understood my explanation, English isn't my firsts language
It's okay. I understood what you said :) It's just Joy is in the same group as Wendy but she spoke up a bit. Wendy just said one sentence whether she agreed or didn't. Also a few parts of Wendy's commentary bothered me a bit.
My Tran Wendy has proved that she's not exactly the most non-discriminative idol... so I'm not surprised she wasn't concerned. Plus she comes from a rich white area just cause she's from Canada doesn't mean she'll be open minded
We always have to remember there is editing. She could have said more that the editing staff didn't feel added to what they were looking for, and thus didn't make the final cut. We can't judge people based on their variety appearances, really.
Spring Tempo of course it shouldn't, but it is, in many countries not just Korea. Jamaica and India for example have an insane amount of discrimination against dark people and LOADS of them bleach their skin twice a day. It's just the world we live in. If it means not being bullied and suffering everyday then yes it IS a relief to have lighter skin, though we obviously know being dark isn't a bad thing.
I'm sooooo happy for the little girl in the end who was able to meet her idol and have the day of her life thanks to this show! Poor thing was tearing up from how joyful she was! Such an awesome thing for the soccer player to do! 😄💗
I felt soo sad when the guy in the second consern said that he hopes his daughter dont get darker skin .... Wtf koreans... Stop with this racism among yourselves. I know he said that bcause he doesnt want her to suffer in the future, but still horrible...
That might be because he is her dad. He doesn't want her to experience the same. Might also really mean it in a different way but might also be because of that.
0xDEADBEEF she was stating an opinion and we all know that but that dosnt mean it's ok you're just giving excuses be it Asia or America the racism needs to stop bc like the man here said he is korean but he's treated differently bc of his look so instead of being a heartless asshole and defending something that is wrong by telling us not to watch you can be a bit understanding to him sience we're not Asian and we actually feel sad for him it's unfortunate what the world has become 😐😐😐
0xDEADBEEF What does beauty standard matter? Do you get to treat someone badly just because you find them ugly? Also this is not because the guy is not attractive. He was clearly handsome when he was younger. He is being treated badly because his dark skin makes him look like a foreigner. It's about race not beauty.
You assume it's racism because that's what you've been conditioned to think, in fact they state their opinions equally as bluntly about everything else. It's a perfectly natural though not as polite way to think. That's life, suck it up. People who think they can fix an issue by complaining about everyone else are simply still delusional, regardless of the fairness of the situation.
Why do some people get angry before they think about it? She answered the question by saying no matter his insecurities (as warranted they are) she thinks his daughter will love him no matter what cuz she only she's him as her dad, regardless of color and its context.
The boy from the first worry is such a sweetheart! I just want to hug him! And also I don't think that his voice is annoying. I actually really like his voice!
aww did you guys see how the boy's hyung way to protect his bro? And the way he smiles when Joy compliment him at 26:04 LOLL actually i have the same concern like the second girl and i was frustrated until now because my mom also check my phone ( thank fully now she don't do it anymore but still frustrating about my curfew hzhbhkbkzjs )
so.. they're racist towards other Asians and think they're less than them? they're all Asian. So you can't be South Asian and go to Korea without being bullied ? disgusting.
Actually not sure about that anymore .I think it's pretty similar. South east asians are treated like dirt just like any dark skinned foreigners. It's baffling tbh.
KatreadsM I went to Korea this summer and I've never seen discrimination happen but I've heard and seen stories and it's disgusting. Honestly the world is so fucked up.
KatreadsM I actually got sad that the third guest looked like he was disgusted to be associated with the Philippines. Like Filipinos or Southeast Asian are lowly creatures when they're not. He seemed like he himself was a little bit racist. 😕 (Emphasis: "seemed"; Just seems like.)
In Canada, we are a multicultural society with little or no discrimination against people of different race, ethnicity, skin color, etc. Other countries may have a clear majority population, but we need to understand that everyone is equal. We are all human at the end of the day.
And the 3rd concern is why I won't visit korea even if I want to and if I had the chance. I like their culture and stuff but most people there don't treat people they think are different in a nice way. Too bad bcs if people were nicer their tourisme would become much better....
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years Same kinda. I hate the discrimination there, but I would go there bc its my dream and i could educate them on foreigners, im not letting racist ppl stop my dream. There's racists, hate crimes, and even the KKK here in the south. But I'm not gonna let them hold me back from my dreams. Hopefully you won't either.
There's racism in every country, it's sad that you don't want to visit Korea just because of it. I mean, if nobody visits the country and shows them diversity, how will their mindset change ? I think that the younger generation is a lot more open-minded thanks to internet, so imo Korea will slowly become a nicer place... But hey, discrimination doesn't deserve to make people stops traveling :)
Wtf. People being teased bc looks foreign, I thought korea is a developing country. And what about an actually foreign person? Korea is a scary country..
Every country has discrimination but right now we're talking about South Korea. It will never be solved if we're too busy saying "but this country does it too !"
MSH racism is a thing, i live in a third world country in south América were 88% or more of the population are mixed (that mean darker skin) And only few are white YET people think white people are better or that they look better, even richer!!!! I saw one day a girl telling another "at least I'M white" like if that give her social status
Everyone is unique! If you are dark and Korean then you are unique! If your voice is low and husky then you are unique one! I believe there is no difference at all. We are all people that need to respect each other...without meddling to each other's life.
What's with the discrimination against tan people? It's one thing to prefer white skin but it's another to make fun of someone's skin color. I hope the man is able to overcome his struggles and gain strength.
Omg yesss red velvet back in the show!!! On the other hand, they've been on so many shows!!! Such a busy schedule. Hope they get some rest (and yayyy we get to see wendy's cute facial expressions)
im so sorry for the first boy, he is handsome and kind and i don't mind his voice at all. why can't people be nicer? why are there always people making fun of others for no reason. that's so disturbing.
Do you see the face of the first guy's brother...when Joy say he had good friends and a good brother....and hi is like OMG Joy its talking about me.. 26:04
I'm the only that wants that the firt guy and the second go out on a date? Like, they are both cute and the same age, I think that she wouldn't judge him or make fun at his voice, and that her mother would approve since he's a good boy
The first concern broke my heart. It hurts me how he said whenever people would hear him talk, they always point out his voice first. All his life too, that must've been so stressful and heartbreaking. I have a friend who's in a similar situation, his voice is high pitched, and his voice became like that since he got into an accident when he was young. I hope this boy will have a great future, and I hope he'll fully recover too. And I wish people would stop asking about his voice.
I love what Yeongja said for the third concern, "It's our concern for having that prejudice". It's just complicated for the older generation to accept different races. Even though this man is 100% Korean, people will always judge based on appearance. And now because I believe that most of the people watching this episode are mostly the younger generation, it's our turn to start changing our society into accepting anyone with different skin color and different race. It's all about accepting people who were born the way they are. Yes, racism/discrimination is an endless cycle, but start now to eliminate racism & discrimination so that when we all have children someday, our children are all accepted for who they are as well. I am proud of all these people who come out and say that they're Korean. They are so brave. It is our choice to change our ways. :)
What the hell is the deal with the last concern? Would him actually being foreign make it okay for people to tease and shun him? How can anyone justify themselves for treating a dark-skinned, foreign-looking or foreign person badly? Tbh he looks like a South East Asian, and as one myself, it makes me worry about how I would be treated if I ever visited Korea. The general Korean public should keep in mind that their economy would be affected greatly if more foreigners heard about this discrimination.
I think by what she means it's not a concern is he shouldn't be worried about skin color because no matter what his family will always love him regardless and he shouldn't change anything about him basically don't let your insecurities take over you
YEAHH I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! What most important thing is that this father want to change appereances to be more korean and getting forced to until he got sick by diarrhea from consuming to much milk. Wendy wanted to say that just be who you are and live bravely, dont force yourself to do something that will only hurt yourself only to get accepted by society's judgement when you have two angels on your side whiches his wife and his own beloved daughter's will always support you and love you no matter how you look and who you are
I still dont get why do koreans think being dark is not beautiful "Fortunetly she is pale like her mom" excuse me what did you say.. I actually felt bad for him bcs people dont treat him in a good way bcs hes darker and looks more different but according to this comment he thinks the same way as these people so he has no right to complain about their attitude towards him smh
I feel bad about people being this judgemental with people of darker skin, but I think what he meant about "fortunately she is pale like her mom" is that her daughter won't go through the hardships he went through, because he knows what it feels and as a parent you don't want your children go through hardships. I agreed with the last part, when the woman sad "it's our concern for having that prejudice" because this kind of treatment it's by any means okay. It's 2017 already, discrimination should not be a thing. It's just wrong.
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years it's from years ago where people who's poor and has to farm, is outside all day so they're more tanned. Whereas richer, higher class people stay inside all day and stays fair.It's a constant visual class division in east Asia so being fair is desired more by eastern Asians
RUclips obviously Got no jams but what about the people who are born dark people fron east asia still think its not beautiful even if they are born that way and it didnt come from farming like this guy he was happy bcs his daughter was borned pale so that means its just about being dark that they dont like and not about the class devision no ?
I think this issue in particular was more about his skin tone, but the class division is a concern as well. What I'm trying to say is that the biggest concern here is the attitude of the citizens with foreign/dark skin color people in general (not all of them are like that from what I've gathered, but there's still a concerning amount of people that are this judgemental and rude to an extent to be considered as a big issue). It's sad that he had to think "oh, my daughter has pale skin, she will be okay", no one should go through this kind of treatment, it's painful to see how people are treated this unfairly because of something as natural as your skin color.
Ana Verónica I agree, what I'm saying is that the attitudes towards different skin tones comes from the typical visual class stereotypes years ago. Of cause I agree the attitudes need to change; beauty doesn't equal pale skin
This makes me really sad that a man just looks foreign gets treated so badly then how bad must foreigners especially the darker ones must be treated. Not only in Korea but everywhere we must stop judging based on their color.Most of the ignorant ass racist are old people so I can't wait until they die but the newer generation should not be like that.We must accept multicultural life as it is the future.
doop doop SO TRUE!...And saying it's not a concern because he should have confidence after so much mock and hatred is just so absurd!! I really respect Yeongja for her thought that it's the people's concern and not his!
doop doop. I kind of agree with you. The new generation will be better. But lets not comment the elderly korean people, because they made Korea the advance country it is today, which many of us like and want to go to one day. You know with how some dump foreigners do crap and get away with it, some even have it easier than most koreans... no wonder they don't like us. Most elderly feel like their whole life's work will be ruined when they see us- racial tension, radical dongs, twerking. Seeing the country advance makes them feel a little better and they don't see anything good about us. I think that WE foreign people also need to change too. With all the crap about us guns, drug no wonder they dont want us, cause it's a fact that there is always truth to things they see about us. If they don't want us its ok cause it's their country not ours. :\ All of us have to work hard to change for a brighter future.
EXO-KoKoBop MV WATCH IT EXO-L but koreans themselves imitate the western culture A LOT! AND there's a thing called racism if you're aware which is BAD! no one must be discriminated for their looks whether in thier own or some other country! EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERY PERSON IS THE SAME!!( cause you mentioned guns and stuff) people need to stop generalizing!
Someone said that its hard to imagine how they treat real foreigners... Its true. Its hard. Even as a white girl (with hella pale skin) it was hard. You notice a lot but if you know some Korean.. you hear more than you'd like to. I've been sworn at, cursed at, made fun of... I still love Korea with all my heart but it didn't mean it wasn't hard there.
About the first concern: It's soo refreshing to finally see some decent and caring parents on the show. They looked really emotional and somewhat regretful after hearing about their son's hardships and aknoledged they may have made mistakes or burdened him. Most parent's we've seen on the show are usually the cause of a concern, but his really had tried all they could to care for their son, and they would've done even more if they could afford travelling to the U.S His hyung seams very protective of him too. It makes me tear up, the child is indeen very troubled and his concern is very serious as it is affecting not only his current life but could make his future even harder depending on his carrer choice. The fact that he din't tell his family how hard it all is so they woudn't be worried makes me so sad. But still I feel like they are all bessed and lucky, to be part of such a caring and loving family.
Why is it that darker skinned people in different cultures are often discriminated against. No one can help the skin they were born into and I honestly don't get how people can make fun of or judge people because of their freaking skin tone
Ayo Ola In NEAsia it has to do with the fact that they are a homogeneous population, thus there were not many ethnic differences, so skin shade had lots to do with your social class. Like, if peasant you worked under the sun, so you got tanner, if noble you worked in a sheltered environment, so you became paler. So it is kind of different in root and way to western racism.
The mother in the second concern bothers me a little. It's so obvious she has no sincere consideration towards her daughter or how she feels. She just cares about having someone to control. When the panelists brought up the possibility of her daughter going wild or out of control when she moves out, the mother said she doesn't care or it doesn't concern her because she can't see it. That's just ridiculous.
The 1st family...they have good genes. Their sons are so handsome. One of them should be a model... (YGK+ call them) And I think people should understand the situation from the boy it wasn't his fault that his voice is like that. He just want to live like every other kid...fighting!!!😊👍👍
the first concern reminds me of a classmate i had, i always thought her voice was odd but i didn't care to ask or bother her about it, but one time she told her story to the class, when she was a kid she swallowed an earring and it affected her vocal cords, she also talked about how she struggled with her voice but in the end she accepted and started to love this uniqueness.
The parents of that first boy must be just so glad their son survived, his voice as it is must be a reminder to them that he's still alive and with them every time they hear it. That other people mock him for it, or tell him to be quiet because they find his voice disturbing is so cruel.
I can’t be the only one who likes his voice. Since it’s not very loud, it’s very relaxing and being around him would be calming and that’s better than a lot of people in my school who scream when someone is right next to them. Plus, he’s very handsome which adds something lol but honestly I just really love the way his voice sounds
It really pisses me off when store owners or taxis charge more to foreigners. They're already spending a big chunk of money to be in their country, but they're still charged more. Are they not human just because they're from abroad? If people who say/do these things go to another country, I won't feel sorry if they're charged double. In my own country it can happen here and there with taxis, but not in stores or a big number of taxis. We're all still humans that live on the same freaking planet, and we don't choose to be born in some place. That's called FRAUD and EXTORTION.
It happens to foreigner a lot in many places. The thing is that they distinguish foreigners based on appearance because they are not a country of immigrants or a heterogeneous one at that.
Yeongyun, if you're reading the comments, here's my advice. Despite your "flaws" as you put it, you have a lot of strengths also. You're very handsome and a good listener. Don't concentrate on your voice being bad (although I love listening to you talk because you do have a great voice). Instead of that, play up your good parts. I may not have the best body but because I'm a good listener and don't care about how others look or sound, I have a heck of a lot of friends. You too could be like this. Don't hold back on things because of your voice. You can succeed at a lot of things. Concentrate on that. If people like you for what and who you are and not about your voice, surround yourself with those types of people and let the others go on about their business and don't concentrate on them. I think people who belittle and make of others are very insecure about themselves so they like to make others feel bad. And also there are a lot of jobs that you don't need your voice for. Take this into consideration for future jobs.

"It's our concern for having that prejudice"
Nailed it
I love her for saying that. It's statements like that makes me stay in love with the Korean culture. As a black person, I almost responded to the prejudices negatively. "Fine, I'll just hate and detest them more than they do me". There were thoughts like that. Fortunately for me I learned that there are Koreans who admire my culture as much as I admire thiers. That overshadowed the hatred and is the reason why I continue to support them. There's nothing more color blind than love.
best comment on here
Was gonna comment the same XD
As an American who interacts with people of different ethnicity everyday, I find it quite surprising that Koreans can have prejudices to that kind of an extent about foreigners or people who look different. This should definitely be addressed especially as we live in a fully globalized 21st century
Christopher Yiwei Liang same, in one day I probably talk to many different people of colour and many different ethnicities and I've always grown up seeing a variety of people so I'm used to it now. Racism really surprises me because where I live its normal to be different. I don't understand where the hate is coming from.
All the comments are about the first guy just because is cute. But the real deal here is how Korea is such a racist & superficial country... of course is a concern! He is a good citizen rejected by people just because of how he looks. Like the Mc said: "it's our concern for having that prejudice" 👏🏻
Azul Ayala PREACH !!🗣
Azul Ayala 👏👏👏
Azul Ayala similar problems had been in this show. Seems like not all of them are going to change their perspective on foreigners or foreign-looking Koreans 😞 it's a bit disappointing...
he only got 104 votes too smh :////
People need to look at the discrimination in their own countries. Fix that first, then you can comment on another culture.
OMG the guy from the first concern is so cute. I'm so sorry for him that people made fun of him because of his voice.
He can't do anything against it! I feel so sorry
It wouldn't be the same if he was ugly with a sexy asss voice. People wouldn't even bring him on the show.
Ikr? I don't understand, there's a boy in my class that has a raspy voice but nobody ever made fun of him. But it's true that sometimes people look back and are surprised, but never to the extent to say "shut up, I don't wanna hear your voice" :((
1:12:50 "I don't think it's his concern, it's our concern for having that prejudice" 💯
UGH IK I LOVE YEOUNGJA SO MUCH
how you gonna criticize a race for being racist when you're being racist against the race
@@autumnchiu1162 lmao that makes no sense
@@autumnchiu1162 what you're saying literally makes no sense.😂😂😂
The boy from the first concern is really cute ♥♥ his brother too I wish people would treat him better cuz he seems nice and his voice is not "annoying to hear" at all
same honestly I think he has a nice voice and he's really handsome too
mySweetInnocence yeah i would listen to him talk for hours without minding it cuz he talks so nicely
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years Ikr!? His voice is different but not annoyingly different. He's such a cutie, and he doesn't deserve the harsh treatment ❤️
Cupcake Knight exactly
i could listen to his voice for hours
that girl is only fifteen and she has already dated more boys than I will ever date in my entire life lol (internally crying)
Maneko hahahaha, that's why her mum is worrying.
Imo ... I don't consider something a relationship that only lastet max. 2 weeks lol
Maneko i feel ur pain 101
where did you get that information from lmao, idk if the subtitles is international age or korean age (but she looks 15 internationally) so if she was 15 (internationally) then she is 16 there
ahah yeah, i'm an army but i'm multifandom like most people :)
That first guy is so handsome. He could be a model, or even play historical characters in dramas! I hope everything works out for him in the future
he cannot play because of his voice sadly.... the actor have to have loud voices
I am way too old for him, but if I was younger I would have loved to date him
A model sounds good but if he were to ever regain a voice in the future, he'd be great as an actor. He already got the looks, height, and athleticism. I'm sure he'll be fine in the near future
he could look like sandara's brother thunder when hes older// he's already tall and have broad shoulders for his age (only 14 internationally?!)
Al jazeera
26:04 the older brothers reaction when joy said "and he has a great older brother" LMAO
Lol I saw that too 😂
lala. Yeahhhh HHAHAHAHA
Lol 😂🤭
someone said it lmaoo
Joy cried :'( and Wendy had teary eyes too on the first concern. Surely they can feel what that cute guy felt :'( how pure.
As a filipino myself I find this very offensive. In the Philippines a lot of people have darker skin color than he is, his skin color isn't even considered dark in my country, we call his skin color kayumangi. Also we Filipino's never point at Koreans who come in our country and say oh look they have monolids rather that double eye lids. The raicism in Korean is too much to handle.
Altea Carabit Porket nakatira lang sila sa bansang nag-snow, akala mo talaga may right na silang I judge tayong mga Filipino. Nakakainis tuloy
Mochi Ltysbl I am Filipino but I have a lighter skin color than most and most people think I'm Japanese or Korean but there is nothing wrong with having a darker skin color.
Actually he looks more like a Bumbay than a Filipino (though he could pass for one). Most Koreans are vain & think that whiter skin, double eyelids, high nose, V-shaped face etc., are the standards to be considered pretty thus almost everyone is doing plastic surgery
Saka nung tinanong siya kung anong bansa na madalas nilang inaakala kung saan siya galing, sinabi niyang sa Pilipinas parang ayaw na ayaw niya yung idea na yon.
Ako din, I have lighter skin color than kayumangi. My friends and my classmates envy me dahil mas maputi ako sa kanila. Hindi naman din tayo mapanghusga sa mas dark yung skin color nila since malapit tayo sa Equator kaya tanggap na din natin na kayumangi yung skin color ng mga Filipino. Kaya nakakalungkot lang na ganon yung thinking ng Koreans. Katulad ng sinabi ni Michell yung dapat na standards ng Korean yung maputi, v-shaped face, double eyelids, etc. Tamang-tama lang na sinabi ni Youngja na concern nila yung pagkakaroon ng prejudice para malinawan yung mga Korean.
truth. nakakasakit ng feelings yung last concern. grabe naman ata yung diskriminasyon nila sa mga pinoy
the first boy and the second girl are so gorgeous omg
I ship them so much lol
Agreed
min?
1:12:50 "It's our concern for having that prejudice." Youngja nailed it. One of the reasons why I can continue appreciating and loving Korean culture but I will never visit the country, at least not until a lot has changed.
whalieneffect literally same...and I’m broke but that’s a different story
As a Korean, the general people and population don't give a fuck about what race someone is. It's just shit shows like this that represent Koreans as a bad people
@@formerIychucks I heard that to I am African American and I was really concerned about how they treat people like me of my skin one Because I want to study there and I saw that most of the time they dont care. But I its like saying hey come to American and theres no people like that here. But there is always gonna be someone.
The first guy.. I feel so sorry for him.. people are being mean.. he is so handsome and tall and has good proportions so he should just become a model and snap back at all the bullies.
Vanesa Ioana what
3rd Guest be like: I am a Korean, treat me equally too.
MORE LIKE: TREAT EVERYONE FAIRLY REGARDLESS OF THE RACE AND SKIN COLOR.
I know a girl in my class who has the same voice as the boy in the 1st concern. On the first day, we had an activity and since she was new, me and my friend decided to group up with her. When I first heard her talk, I was surprised but didn't talk about it. I thought she had a cold or lost her voice temporarily. Then a month past and she still had the same voice. I've become used with her voice now and I realized that she's confident with her voice too (she talks A LOT during her presentations) so it became normal for me. It makes me mad when she answers a question of the teacher and someone in the back says 'What she said? I can't hear, talk louder'. She obviously can't, at least try to understand. I think the only solution for him, if he can't do the surgery, is being confident.
I know someone who has a voice like that also, she had heart problems and surgery and her voice became like that. It's not something they chose so people should be more understanding and happy that they were able to overcome their health problems
Boi the first guy was so cute and his brother asdfghjkl ok I'll stop but like I'd totally be buddies
I'm quite surprised they didn't introduce him the girl on second concern.
Isi B-K I was bought to comment on that because his brother- the protectiveness is so hot-
@@noreen2558 yaasss
I happen to like his voice it's unique and he is handsome 😁 He is strong for going on this show and telling his story 💪🏽💗he can also make Instant Noodles 💗that's my type of man 😂
I'm trash but only for Kim Namjoon i like you profile picture
I'm trash but only for Kim Namjoon you're everywhere lol
same
I was expecting a voice more similar to a childhood friend of mine, but it wasn't the same. It was more airy though. Because my childhood friend basically had the voice of a 60 year old whiskey addict who had smoked since the age of 18, except he was 9 years old. That's a raspy voice. I don't really get why he would get teased though. I thought my friend had an unique voice, but I didn't think more of it. As far as I know, he wasn't teased about it either, although he has some problems, some form of learning disability and such. That's what he was teased for by a select few, although not much.
Same
Weeeeeeeeeh there is nothing wrong with being Filipino. 🇵🇭🇵🇭 It's sad that beauty standards are so prevalent in certain societies. It also took me a while to accept my Filipino features (flat nose), and I still criticize myself for it, however I've been seeing myself in a more positive light. Darker skin also can be beautiful, so are monolids. Everyone is beautiful in their own way! Let's make sure to appreciate that!!
Jian Bhe happy with your flat nose, small noses are super cute! I never understood why high bridge noses are so sought after. They really don't make such a huge difference to the face imo. Probably because it's a common trait among westerners, so Asia just wants to follow.
Some Filipinos that I know are warm-hearted, friendly, eloquent, they're bilingual (or even multilingual), and they can be so beautiful too! Be proud of who you are
Red Velvet need counseling to stop touching Wendy's butt 😂😂
(Especially you Irene LOL)
ElementalHeroJoe If Red Velvet goes consueling, Wendy's butt concern will get the highest number of votes 😂.
wendy is so skinny :(
what should be the title? "My poor butt" XD
Reveluv "Booty had me like...dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb"
im soooooo dead
that mom from the second concern really pissed me off when she kept smiling like something was funny and basically admitted that she won't even care about her Sujin when she leaves the house. like she doesn't let her do anything and even her 2 youngest kids are afraid of her and she still can't see a problem w the way she's acting fskajfhakdfakl
I honestly likes his voice,he's handsome and nice..people shouldn't judge him and make fun of him because his voice..I know how it feels to be tease or talk about and it hurts a lot and you stop talking and stop opening to others..but I really hope that they treat him and others Better then judge others because what they look,wear,say/their voice,size/weight,race and other things instead talk to them first or don't say nothing at all and mind your business
"Fortunately she is born white but I am afraid she will get dark"........
That last concern really hurt me. It was hard to watch.
Stephanie Almeida aww don't be! There are different beauty standards around the world. I assure you that in many European countries, tanned skin = better looking. Just the other day, my Spanish uncle told us to go out in the sun more to get really brown cause it's better to look tanned than pale. So let's not judge ourselves based on Korean beauty standards cause we dark skinned people obviously don't fit in with it. But that doesn't mean we're not favoured by other cultures around the world. At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 🙂
Dango Daikazoku I am very proud of my skin color and would not mind being darker. I feel sorry for those good people who go to Korea for a better life.
Stephanie Almeida oh right, sorry for misunderstanding your comment. I thought you found the concern hard to watch cause you can relate with it. I totally agree, it's horrible for dark skinned foreigners going to Korea to earn a living - especially considering how there are a lot of OFW's (Overseas Filipino Workers) that immigrate to South Korea to support their families!
I myself am filipino, but I wasn't really hurt by the last concern cause I've come to accept my naturally tanned skin. But I know that my fellow kpop obsessed Filipino friends would get hurt by watching the last concern. I have one friend who for sure is watching this episode (cause Red Velvet is her bias group), and she told me she wanted to move to Korea one day. It's gonna be really sad for her to watch this!
Stephanie Almeida yeahhh.. then after seeing the photos of his daugther.. they were like. WHAT A RELIEF!. Im a Filipino.. and so its HEARTBREAKING!
Why we ashamed of our color?I love my color brown,problema na Yan sa tao Hindi sau,Kung ayaw nila sa tan di wow sila na maputi,pero di ko Naman gusto kaputian nila mukha Naman patay,make up lang nagpaganda sa kanila
The last one is one of the real Korea's concerns...
I really like Joy's views on the topics
The first kids family is so kind?!?!?!? Like they're so soft spoken and understanding its grreaaat. Also they all have gorgeous tan skin WHICH IM LIVING FORRRR!
This episode just proved, Joy is a true empath.
It's sad at 52:24 that the girl doesn't understand this or just doesn't want sympathy but a way to solve her problem at the moment.
She probably hangs out with boys more than a group of girls, assuming the count of boyfriends are real, you know how some girls are when another gets all the guys.
Girls can give insight on such important matters and ways to get around parents who are like this. Sometimes you gotta be a people pleaser while staying true to yourself.
wendy's so beautiful, I'm crying
and so talented too
seulgi the bear Absolutely
ohmystars she lost so much weight im worried
minyoongi jjangjjangman bboongbboong ikr, my heart hurts for her, she's so thin seems like she's going to break anytime
ohmystars 😔😔😔😔
The face of the brother when Joy says "he has a good brother" tho 😂
The last concern is making me so sad and mad. People are just so mean. Also, lets stop calling it "exotic" look. as described in the video info. Its not exotic. There are more people who look like that than the entire south east asia in India alone.
ikr...
i know we always criticize hello counselor for their lack of professionals but i feel like they are improving and listening to the concerns better
(they used to laugh alot even at some serious concerns)
ryan I see you everywhere!
A girl that has no joy in her life :( she's with her now
kpop tøp is on fire ذ JAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHKAHKAHKAHAHAHhahhahhhh
kpop tøp is on fire 😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a great statement
The third concern just shows how racism seems to be completely normal in South Korea... How come being a foreigner is a bad thing? The worst of all is the fact that the man came and his concern is "people think I'm a foreigner": is that an insult or something??? And when he explained that he asked his mother if their ancestors were foreigners, he said she beat him up like??? Is it something people should be ashamed of?
Sorry if there are some faults, english isn't my first language but I'm totally shocked right now.
yeah i understand your shock. the reason she hit her own son was so appaling. like damn it wasn't even that serious for her to do. that is extremely shocking. very shocking actually. thats a serious concern
PARK SOOYOUNG! WHEN YOU SMILE! IM ALSO HAPPY!
26:05 the older brother mouthed "oohh" at Joy's message xD okay, we see you hyung lmao
The first family was so nice, and sweet. It was clear that they loved him so much :')
after watching this, i truly respect joy!! Her thoughts were incredible, im stanning the right girl ❤️🥺
Wendy and Joy both stunning ladies. GAAAAAH THEY'RE SO BEAUTIFUL AND LOVELY. 💗💗💗😍😍😍😍
25:38 "You must live with that. If you can't overcome that, life will be difficult. You have to learn to embrace that." This is the best advice for Yeongyun! 파이팅! I wish all the best for you.
We need Kard here lol. Wendy is so cute ^^
Stress Cookie yeees!!
I'm honestly kind of disappointed in Wendy because she's from Canada so I thought she would speak more about concerns of discrimination and abuse. She seems rather reserved and conservative which is different from her personality when she is with Red Velvet. I'm glad Joy spoke up about her concerns and she seemed more open minded than Wendy which makes me surprised. Especially, the last guy when he got discriminated because of his skin color; Wendy said to be more brave and live confidently which doesn't help at all. I'm glad Joy spoke up and said that Korea needs to change not him. Also I'm glad the counselors actually said it was discrimination and violence.
My Tran i think Idols in General Dont talk about this matter that much or voice their opinion because maybe the agency told them to do so , often they are there to entertain people, if you notice idols are only giving certain parts of personal information to us , maybe their whole personality is given from their agency I hope you understood my explanation, English isn't my firsts language
It's okay. I understood what you said :) It's just Joy is in the same group as Wendy but she spoke up a bit. Wendy just said one sentence whether she agreed or didn't. Also a few parts of Wendy's commentary bothered me a bit.
My Tran Wendy has proved that she's not exactly the most non-discriminative idol... so I'm not surprised she wasn't concerned. Plus she comes from a rich white area just cause she's from Canada doesn't mean she'll be open minded
littlebun exactly.
We always have to remember there is editing. She could have said more that the editing staff didn't feel added to what they were looking for, and thus didn't make the final cut. We can't judge people based on their variety appearances, really.
Yonghwa changed a lot ... 😱 Not only he became hot and sexy but he also does participate in a lot of show recently !!! He was to shy before
Joy is so pretty with her red hair♥️
being dark isn't a crime. i can't believe they its a relief that baby is light.
Spring Tempo they thought it was a relief because it means the baby won't be discriminated against as she grows up obviously.
Spring Tempo stfu bitch. Watch the entire thing, so you know what he means damn.
@blehh, so you can't comment without calling some a bitch, very dense
@kaya, someone's skin colour shouldn't be a problem
Spring Tempo of course it shouldn't, but it is, in many countries not just Korea. Jamaica and India for example have an insane amount of discrimination against dark people and LOADS of them bleach their skin twice a day. It's just the world we live in. If it means not being bullied and suffering everyday then yes it IS a relief to have lighter skin, though we obviously know being dark isn't a bad thing.
I'm sooooo happy for the little girl in the end who was able to meet her idol and have the day of her life thanks to this show! Poor thing was tearing up from how joyful she was! Such an awesome thing for the soccer player to do! 😄💗
I felt soo sad when the guy in the second consern said that he hopes his daughter dont get darker skin .... Wtf koreans... Stop with this racism among yourselves. I know he said that bcause he doesnt want her to suffer in the future, but still horrible...
That might be because he is her dad. He doesn't want her to experience the same. Might also really mean it in a different way but might also be because of that.
0xDEADBEEF she was stating an opinion and we all know that but that dosnt mean it's ok you're just giving excuses be it Asia or America the racism needs to stop bc like the man here said he is korean but he's treated differently bc of his look so instead of being a heartless asshole and defending something that is wrong by telling us not to watch you can be a bit understanding to him sience we're not Asian and we actually feel sad for him it's unfortunate what the world has become 😐😐😐
0xDEADBEEF What does beauty standard matter? Do you get to treat someone badly just because you find them ugly? Also this is not because the guy is not attractive. He was clearly handsome when he was younger. He is being treated badly because his dark skin makes him look like a foreigner. It's about race not beauty.
that's not racism moron
You assume it's racism because that's what you've been conditioned to think, in fact they state their opinions equally as bluntly about everything else. It's a perfectly natural though not as polite way to think. That's life, suck it up. People who think they can fix an issue by complaining about everyone else are simply still delusional, regardless of the fairness of the situation.
Why do some people get angry before they think about it? She answered the question by saying no matter his insecurities (as warranted they are) she thinks his daughter will love him no matter what cuz she only she's him as her dad, regardless of color and its context.
The boy from the first worry is such a sweetheart! I just want to hug him! And also I don't think that his voice is annoying. I actually really like his voice!
26:05 THE BROTHER IS SO HAPPY THAT JOY TALKED ABOUT HIM LMAO WHY IS THAT ME
YAYAYA
The guy from the first concern should date the girl from the second concern... idk just saying
I was lowkey thinking this too.
Jackie Saing Fr tho 😂😂
Jackie Saing fr that's what I was thinking😂
Omg true 😂😍
I was thinking that to
aww did you guys see how the boy's hyung way to protect his bro? And the way he smiles when Joy compliment him at 26:04 LOLL
actually i have the same concern like the second girl and i was frustrated until now because my mom also check my phone ( thank fully now she don't do it anymore but still frustrating about my curfew hzhbhkbkzjs )
so.. they're racist towards other Asians and think they're less than them? they're all Asian. So you can't be South Asian and go to Korea without being bullied ? disgusting.
KatreadsM they're more racist towards Africans
Actually not sure about that anymore .I think it's pretty similar. South east asians are treated like dirt just like any dark skinned foreigners. It's baffling tbh.
KatreadsM
I went to Korea this summer and I've never seen discrimination happen but I've heard and seen stories and it's disgusting. Honestly the world is so fucked up.
ayellowhello are you Korean your self?
KatreadsM I actually got sad that the third guest looked like he was disgusted to be associated with the Philippines. Like Filipinos or Southeast Asian are lowly creatures when they're not. He seemed like he himself was a little bit racist. 😕 (Emphasis: "seemed"; Just seems like.)
It's just so insane how fast they judge a person because of their skin color. That was a larger issue than they have imagined.🤦🏻♀️
"I don't think is his concern. It's our concern for having that prejudice."
Stuff like this are the reason why I love Yeongja
In Canada, we are a multicultural society with little or no discrimination against people of different race, ethnicity, skin color, etc. Other countries may have a clear majority population, but we need to understand that everyone is equal. We are all human at the end of the day.
And the 3rd concern is why I won't visit korea even if I want to and if I had the chance. I like their culture and stuff but most people there don't treat people they think are different in a nice way. Too bad bcs if people were nicer their tourisme would become much better....
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years Same kinda. I hate the discrimination there, but I would go there bc its my dream and i could educate them on foreigners, im not letting racist ppl stop my dream. There's racists, hate crimes, and even the KKK here in the south. But I'm not gonna let them hold me back from my dreams. Hopefully you won't either.
There's racism in every country, it's sad that you don't want to visit Korea just because of it. I mean, if nobody visits the country and shows them diversity, how will their mindset change ? I think that the younger generation is a lot more open-minded thanks to internet, so imo Korea will slowly become a nicer place... But hey, discrimination doesn't deserve to make people stops traveling :)
Ashana B. I hope it wont to but its upsetting and frustrating to hear a lot of similair stories about how koreans treat foreigners or dark people
I really want to go to Korea but I am scared to be judged since I am a little brown
It's just like that in China too...If you ever visit there, i'd go to Hong Kong. When i visited other parts, people took pictures of me everywhere.
정용화 2017년 진짜 너무 잘생겼다 ㅠㅠ
It is very upsetting that dark skin is put down. As a SEA person, it upsets me to see asian countries praise and put down different skin colors
Wtf. People being teased bc looks foreign, I thought korea is a developing country. And what about an actually foreign person? Korea is a scary country..
외국인을 받아들이지는 않아도 예의없이구는 한국엔 미래가없다. 눈가 한국 물건을 사고싶어하겠는가?
It's not just Korea. Discrimination towards foreigners happens in many places. Some places are just more obvious than others.
Even a country as diverse as US still discriminates based on skin color, so not really surprised it's happening in Korea.
Every country has discrimination but right now we're talking about South Korea. It will never be solved if we're too busy saying "but this country does it too !"
MSH racism is a thing, i live in a third world country in south América were 88% or more of the population are mixed (that mean darker skin) And only few are white YET people think white people are better or that they look better, even richer!!!! I saw one day a girl telling another "at least I'M white" like if that give her social status
Everyone is unique! If you are dark and Korean then you are unique! If your voice is low and husky then you are unique one! I believe there is no difference at all. We are all people that need to respect each other...without meddling to each other's life.
What's with the discrimination against tan people? It's one thing to prefer white skin but it's another to make fun of someone's skin color. I hope the man is able to overcome his struggles and gain strength.
Omg yesss red velvet back in the show!!!
On the other hand, they've been on so many shows!!! Such a busy schedule. Hope they get some rest (and yayyy we get to see wendy's cute facial expressions)
im so sorry for the first boy, he is handsome and kind and i don't mind his voice at all. why can't people be nicer? why are there always people making fun of others for no reason. that's so disturbing.
Do you see the face of the first guy's brother...when Joy say he had good friends and a good brother....and hi is like OMG Joy its talking about me.. 26:04
awwww dsfhjfd joy was crying too, she's the cutest
I'm the only that wants that the firt guy and the second go out on a date? Like, they are both cute and the same age, I think that she wouldn't judge him or make fun at his voice, and that her mother would approve since he's a good boy
Jaebum Pabo ikr😂😂
The fact is that he’s Korean, and people think he’s a foreigner. The way they treat him is how they treat actual foreigners.
Tae Joon:"Mom, I'm drinking!"
Joy:"Yes!,yes,yes"....."No, I didn't drink!"
The first concern broke my heart. It hurts me how he said whenever people would hear him talk, they always point out his voice first. All his life too, that must've been so stressful and heartbreaking. I have a friend who's in a similar situation, his voice is high pitched, and his voice became like that since he got into an accident when he was young. I hope this boy will have a great future, and I hope he'll fully recover too. And I wish people would stop asking about his voice.
Yonghwa is me when I say something and my friends totally ignore me😂😂😂
I love what Yeongja said for the third concern, "It's our concern for having that prejudice". It's just complicated for the older generation to accept different races. Even though this man is 100% Korean, people will always judge based on appearance. And now because I believe that most of the people watching this episode are mostly the younger generation, it's our turn to start changing our society into accepting anyone with different skin color and different race. It's all about accepting people who were born the way they are. Yes, racism/discrimination is an endless cycle, but start now to eliminate racism & discrimination so that when we all have children someday, our children are all accepted for who they are as well. I am proud of all these people who come out and say that they're Korean. They are so brave. It is our choice to change our ways. :)
What the hell is the deal with the last concern? Would him actually being foreign make it okay for people to tease and shun him? How can anyone justify themselves for treating a dark-skinned, foreign-looking or foreign person badly?
Tbh he looks like a South East Asian, and as one myself, it makes me worry about how I would be treated if I ever visited Korea. The general Korean public should keep in mind that their economy would be affected greatly if more foreigners heard about this discrimination.
Exactly.
I think by what she means it's not a concern is he shouldn't be worried about skin color because no matter what his family will always love him regardless and he shouldn't change anything about him basically don't let your insecurities take over you
YEAHH I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!
What most important thing is that this father want to change appereances to be more korean and getting forced to until he got sick by diarrhea from consuming to much milk. Wendy wanted to say that just be who you are and live bravely, dont force yourself to do something that will only hurt yourself only to get accepted by society's judgement when you have two angels on your side whiches his wife and his own beloved daughter's will always support you and love you no matter how you look and who you are
He should find a loud and good hearted girlfriend
I cried at the first concern. People can be really mean sometimes... That boy is so nice, but everyone around him isn't...
I still dont get why do koreans think being dark is not beautiful
"Fortunetly she is pale like her mom" excuse me what did you say..
I actually felt bad for him bcs people dont treat him in a good way bcs hes darker and looks more different but according to this comment he thinks the same way as these people so he has no right to complain about their attitude towards him smh
I feel bad about people being this judgemental with people of darker skin, but I think what he meant about "fortunately she is pale like her mom" is that her daughter won't go through the hardships he went through, because he knows what it feels and as a parent you don't want your children go through hardships. I agreed with the last part, when the woman sad "it's our concern for having that prejudice" because this kind of treatment it's by any means okay. It's 2017 already, discrimination should not be a thing. It's just wrong.
yoongi's english that's been hiding for years it's from years ago where people who's poor and has to farm, is outside all day so they're more tanned. Whereas richer, higher class people stay inside all day and stays fair.It's a constant visual class division in east Asia so being fair is desired more by eastern Asians
RUclips obviously Got no jams but what about the people who are born dark people fron east asia still think its not beautiful even if they are born that way and it didnt come from farming like this guy he was happy bcs his daughter was borned pale so that means its just about being dark that they dont like and not about the class devision no ?
I think this issue in particular was more about his skin tone, but the class division is a concern as well. What I'm trying to say is that the biggest concern here is the attitude of the citizens with foreign/dark skin color people in general (not all of them are like that from what I've gathered, but there's still a concerning amount of people that are this judgemental and rude to an extent to be considered as a big issue). It's sad that he had to think "oh, my daughter has pale skin, she will be okay", no one should go through this kind of treatment, it's painful to see how people are treated this unfairly because of something as natural as your skin color.
Ana Verónica I agree, what I'm saying is that the attitudes towards different skin tones comes from the typical visual class stereotypes years ago. Of cause I agree the attitudes need to change; beauty doesn't equal pale skin
All I see is Yonghwa ❤️ How can he be that handsome 😍 Yonghwayaaaa ❤️ Also the guy from the first concern is pretty cute 🙈
This makes me really sad that a man just looks foreign gets treated so badly then how bad must foreigners especially the darker ones must be treated. Not only in Korea but everywhere we must stop judging based on their color.Most of the ignorant ass racist are old people so I can't wait until they die but the newer generation should not be like that.We must accept multicultural life as it is the future.
doop doop
SO TRUE!...And saying it's not a concern because he should have confidence after so much mock and hatred is just so absurd!!
I really respect Yeongja for her thought that it's the people's concern and not his!
doop doop. I kind of agree with you. The new generation will be better. But lets not comment the elderly korean people, because they made Korea the advance country it is today, which many of us like and want to go to one day. You know with how some dump foreigners do crap and get away with it, some even have it easier than most koreans... no wonder they don't like us. Most elderly feel like their whole life's work will be ruined when they see us- racial tension, radical dongs, twerking. Seeing the country advance makes them feel a little better and they don't see anything good about us. I think that WE foreign people also need to change too. With all the crap about us guns, drug no wonder they dont want us, cause it's a fact that there is always truth to things they see about us. If they don't want us its ok cause it's their country not ours. :\ All of us have to work hard to change for a brighter future.
EXO-KoKoBop MV WATCH IT EXO-L
but koreans themselves imitate the western culture A LOT!
AND there's a thing called racism if you're aware which is BAD! no one must be discriminated for their looks whether in thier own or some other country!
EVERYONE NEEDS TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOT EVERY PERSON IS THE SAME!!( cause you mentioned guns and stuff) people need to stop generalizing!

The first guy's brother face at 26:05 when Joy was talking 😂😂😂
Yes red flavor dyed our summer red
44:08 Joy's like "wtf?"😂
Someone said that its hard to imagine how they treat real foreigners... Its true. Its hard. Even as a white girl (with hella pale skin) it was hard. You notice a lot but if you know some Korean.. you hear more than you'd like to. I've been sworn at, cursed at, made fun of... I still love Korea with all my heart but it didn't mean it wasn't hard there.
Thanks for sharing the story, I can only imagine.
About the first concern: It's soo refreshing to finally see some decent and caring parents on the show. They looked really emotional and somewhat regretful after hearing about their son's hardships and aknoledged they may have made mistakes or burdened him. Most parent's we've seen on the show are usually the cause of a concern, but his really had tried all they could to care for their son, and they would've done even more if they could afford travelling to the U.S
His hyung seams very protective of him too.
It makes me tear up, the child is indeen very troubled and his concern is very serious as it is affecting not only his current life but could make his future even harder depending on his carrer choice.
The fact that he din't tell his family how hard it all is so they woudn't be worried makes me so sad. But still I feel like they are all bessed and lucky, to be part of such a caring and loving family.
Why is it that darker skinned people in different cultures are often discriminated against. No one can help the skin they were born into and I honestly don't get how people can make fun of or judge people because of their freaking skin tone
Ayo Ola In NEAsia it has to do with the fact that they are a homogeneous population, thus there were not many ethnic differences, so skin shade had lots to do with your social class. Like, if peasant you worked under the sun, so you got tanner, if noble you worked in a sheltered environment, so you became paler. So it is kind of different in root and way to western racism.
The family in the first concern are so supportive. I love it.
The mother in the second concern bothers me a little. It's so obvious she has no sincere consideration towards her daughter or how she feels. She just cares about having someone to control. When the panelists brought up the possibility of her daughter going wild or out of control when she moves out, the mother said she doesn't care or it doesn't concern her because she can't see it. That's just ridiculous.
That boy from the first concern is so cute 😍
I kinda like his voice and he seems very nice. Fighting !
The 1st family...they have good genes. Their sons are so handsome. One of them should be a model... (YGK+ call them)
And I think people should understand the situation from the boy it wasn't his fault that his voice is like that. He just want to live like every other kid...fighting!!!😊👍👍
first concern: honestly I LOVE his voice, I could listen to him for hours and never get bored.
26:00 Anyone else notice the hyung's face when joy says the boy has a good hyung? Lmao same man same
the first concern reminds me of a classmate i had, i always thought her voice was odd but i didn't care to ask or bother her about it, but one time she told her story to the class, when she was a kid she swallowed an earring and it affected her vocal cords, she also talked about how she struggled with her voice but in the end she accepted and started to love this uniqueness.
I was missing my talented oppa JUNG YONG HWA LOVE YOUUUU
Glad to see Yong Hwa back 🥰

I hope this helped anyone-
The parents of that first boy must be just so glad their son survived, his voice as it is must be a reminder to them that he's still alive and with them every time they hear it. That other people mock him for it, or tell him to be quiet because they find his voice disturbing is so cruel.
okay yonghwa really serving visuals Y'all so lucky
I can’t be the only one who likes his voice. Since it’s not very loud, it’s very relaxing and being around him would be calming and that’s better than a lot of people in my school who scream when someone is right next to them. Plus, he’s very handsome which adds something lol but honestly I just really love the way his voice sounds
Hope the boy from the first concern reads all this comments
It really pisses me off when store owners or taxis charge more to foreigners. They're already spending a big chunk of money to be in their country, but they're still charged more. Are they not human just because they're from abroad? If people who say/do these things go to another country, I won't feel sorry if they're charged double. In my own country it can happen here and there with taxis, but not in stores or a big number of taxis. We're all still humans that live on the same freaking planet, and we don't choose to be born in some place. That's called FRAUD and EXTORTION.
It happens to foreigner a lot in many places. The thing is that they distinguish foreigners based on appearance because they are not a country of immigrants or a heterogeneous one at that.
Actually lot of Koreans don't want foreigners to goto their country
Suga Lova which is really racist.
Unfortunately, it happens everywhere.
Not gonna lie but the first boy, I would love to listen to his voice every single day. 😅
Yeongyun, if you're reading the comments, here's my advice. Despite your "flaws" as you put it, you have a lot of strengths also. You're very handsome and a good listener. Don't concentrate on your voice being bad (although I love listening to you talk because you do have a great voice). Instead of that, play up your good parts. I may not have the best body but because I'm a good listener and don't care about how others look or sound, I have a heck of a lot of friends. You too could be like this. Don't hold back on things because of your voice. You can succeed at a lot of things. Concentrate on that. If people like you for what and who you are and not about your voice, surround yourself with those types of people and let the others go on about their business and don't concentrate on them. I think people who belittle and make of others are very insecure about themselves so they like to make others feel bad. And also there are a lot of jobs that you don't need your voice for. Take this into consideration for future jobs.
