@@atsaatsa6745 not really, its just a preferance besides its only in fei"s hometown. she said taecyeon will be huge in the north because they love dark skin.
It's called a joke. Because let's face it, as much as we don't want to mention it, it's obvious suzy is the most famous member in Miss A, and got the nickname "nation's first love" in Korea. So he just took this male generalization of what people thought and made the joke. Also if you notice, after that joke introduction, they NEVER mentioned Suzy again or compared Fei to Suzy, or asked questions about Suzy to her. They had specific individual questions just for Fei.
Jeehoondevil the fact is,they shouldn't mention Suzy every time a member of Miss A is on a show. I love Miss A and all the members but tbh are more talented then Suzy,she's the "face" of the group that's why she's every where and honestly it's gotten pretty annoying. it's like Miss A is Suzy and her backup dancers
Mewmew zoey Luckily other members of Miss A are getting more popular now as well. For example Fei's been appearing in a lot of variety shows and CFs. I wouldn't compare who has more talent as they each have their own talents in different fields. Also some people may refer Miss A like that because Miss A hasn't released an album in a while. It happened with 4minute too. 4minute used to be called Hyuna and her backup dancers as she had gotten popular through bubble pop and gangnam style. But they've been releasing a lot of albums and all of them are well known now.
It's because Taecyeon doesn't cook at all so he wants to learn some things ^^ (Even though he's great at cooking, the people on the show "Roommate" LOVED his cooking!!!^^)
Apink Pinkpanda actually he cooked a lot at dorm, since he moved to his parents house he dont do it so much, but still do it in other TV show called 3 Meals a Day.
i can't believe that Fei's brother didn't know about her career in Korea as a member of Miss a and just found out recently!!! for me it's hard to believe ...
When they're close to you, you care less lol, especially at that age. He probably knew she was doing something like that but had no idea she was even famous, especially considering it's a foreign country.
This episode was funny as hell, every time Park Jun-gyu opened his mouth you knew you were gonna laugh soon haha. Also, I learned that Taecyeon is a cool dude, had only heard of him until now. Lastly, if you're fair you can tell the people in the episode were merely exchanging experiences without judgment. You can't talk about large groups of people without generalizing, that's only the nature of the beast. Personally I love how these themes are introduced on Korean TV, as it creates awareness for the people on TV and the viewers, which is the first step in learning about other cultures.
Ugh I hate it when whenever someone brings up missA it has to relate to Suzy the mcs really got to my nerves, the group doesn't just revolve around Suzy ok?-.-
I would usually agree except for this time they literally only mentioned her once in the beginning for the entire show so stop whining and go watch something else then
frida aleksey no not really and the so called fan only focused on Suzy. It really pissed me off. And no, I'm not hating on this video and I can watch this because the comment section is for people to express their opinions.
wow didn't even realize there was a race "issue" with the show till i read the comments. i'm black (literally an african who grew up in america" and found no offese. people get offended when black stereotypes are even mentioned yet i bet we(black folks) have had our fair share of asian stereotypes). nothing was said in bad taste or to hurt anyo
i'm glad you feel this way and aren't offended ^^ most people that feel like it's offending aren't even the "targets" of the alleged offense :O i'm happy you could just enjoy the show, i think this episode was really funny hehe :3
Jeonsa(전사) Yeah, I'm a black American and I didn't find anything offensive. Nothing was meant to hurt anyone.He was just saying how it was when he was living there.I have been around groups of black people and they all sit and generalize and talk about people such as Asians, saying nothing but stereotypes, because they really don't know any better since they have only been around a few Asians or whatever the situation may be. So, the same here.
i love taecyeon! he is not only talented, good looking and he's also very accomodating to his fans. it's nice to see that KBS religiously uploads all new full eng sub episodes of Happy Together and Mamma Mia. we get the chance to also know the mothers of these famous k-pop stars and korean athletes at the same time. good job KBS!
Psst, Taecyeon, over here... I can speak Korean, English, Japanese as well as 4 other languages and I want to live in korea with youuuuuu~ Although the prettiness-aspect... aish..
Taecyon is sooooo handsome - Even though he did not get to talk much, at least he got a lot of camera time - his smile is so cute. After watching Vicenzo, he is definitely one of my favorite Korean actor
man i’m so late to the game but taec and fei!!! idc if they’re friends or more, i just love their interactions - how they’re so comfortable teasing each other and stuff. jyp family, truly. it’s scenes like this that kinda make me sad that got7 left jype - although i’m glad they finally gained their freedom, we won’t get to see this sort of interaction with other jyp groups.
im kinda curious on why didnt they ask nichkhun to come as a global guest instead ? His mom is from China , His dad is from Thailand and he was born in US . He's basically a half thai half american and half chinese . Not global enough ?
This episode reminds me my friends and I, talking about our different cultures. It's very interesting to learn why in some countries they do that whereas we do in another way... Open your mind to the world and you will find that the world is a beautiful treasure!
to anyone worried about the racism and stuff in this episode: it's kind of just an asian thing. you'd find this similarly in china and other countries. if you find yourself getting mad, just try to remember the mentalities of americans towards asians during jungyu's time because that's how it was and it's what he's used to. asians in general like lighter skin and more house-wife-ish women. it's just a culture difference and i'm sure they don't really mean all of what they say (or at least they're not saying it with bad intentions), since this program is mainly for laughs.
Anyone who claims racism after watching this show is trivializing racism in a way that is not okay. In what possible way was the show denigrating a different racial culture or claiming Asian superiority? All of the conversations revolved around revealing and contrasting cultures without passing normative judgments about which was better. Noticing differences is "awareness," not hatred or bigotry or discrimination.
AutumnByakko Can't agree w/you more on that point. It's like you can't talk about real cultural differences at all these days without people getting upset about it. There are cultural differences in the world, and if you don't know about them then you may offend someone.
53:14 I guess it's true that in some countries, if you're not close to someone, you don't actually pay for them after a meal. If you're close to them, sometimes you don't mind to pay for them but the next time, it will be their turn to pay for the meal.
I watch this all the time and I am African American and I enjoy it but the way they stereotyped us is a little overboard. Especially saying how we educate ourselves or live on a daily basis.
Me too, especially because I respect everyone else and their culture so it's so hurtful to me when I hear things like "Black/ African American English" bc there's literally no such thing, different people from different parts of the US have different accents not just Black people.
I have a feeling they were talking about the slang and if the language or the conversations they see - is expressed abrasively. I do see a difference from mainstream American language and Black communities language. I understood what they meant, but i dont think it was meant in a bad way.
a proof of how these East Asians look so superior and look down to people with darker skin tone that's why they are all trying so hard to be as white as ghost. these people should open their minds more than lock them inside a box.
Taecyeon was literally describing Jessica and Tiffany when he was pointing out who he wanted to marry. A Korean woman that speaks Korean, English and a little Japanese. Lol. Although a few others would fit the equation as well.
i'm seriously gonna try make fei's dish this weekend. maybe if i make it well i can add it as a surprise christmas dish and weird out my african family hehe!
I didn't think there was any racism involved, guys. Why are you sensitive/quick to misinterpret their words? I think they were having an interesting discussion, learning about others' cultures. There wasn't anything spiteful or racist in their comments. They were simply curious about certain aspects of foreign cultures. You can fault them for being too ignorant but not being racist. Please chill guys. Yeesh.
I feel better now because this is sooo funny!!! 26:20 Jun Park swearing. He's really funny!!! And 26:28 John Park's reaction! Hahahaha!!! Also, 29:31 31:20 This is also hilarious when they were teasing Taecyeon!!! XD
I agree! I'm a Filipino and Filipinos have close family ties, even extended ones. WOW!!! People are so SENSITIVE, BUTTHURT, EASILY OFFENDED by things!!! They put extra meaning and overanalyze things which are said!! Way to judge Sam like you know him too well to call him those! >_< And btw, he said Western women. He probably means that Western women are more independent and it's true that they're probably less affectionate.. I know where he's coming 'cause I observe things and learn things about cultures. He probably doesn't mean that you have no affection for people.. his words just came off like that. Way to go to assume things about him like that! :( PLEASE DON'T WATCH SHOWS LIKE THESE BUTTHURT, SENSITIVE PEOPLE! Honestly shocked by people who react so violently to little things like these! XD This is suppose to be a fun and funny show. But butthurt people ruin it!! At least for me, it wasn't ruined! Annoying!!
i agree with Fei the Korean people they are wonderful i have great friends when we meet first they are amazing to me and also each other god bless you guys and live happily after
Just thought I'd make a comment about treat each other out to eat in the States, I think it also has to do with not wanting/ hesitating to pay someone back. If you say you'll treat the next time, it feels a bit like a debt that's meant to be repaid. So it's not so much of lack of gratitude all the time (:
What Sam is saying in 28:08 about numbers in Korean and Chinese is accurate. To anyone interested in that topic, I recommend you read Gladwell’s Outliers ch 8 :) (loool if anyone reads this cause it’s been ~5 years)
Ok so as a black woman the conversation amused and offended me. It was funny when they explained their experiences with black people but to judge a whole race of people by the few you knew in the 1980s is stupid. It's sad in 2014 they are still so ignorant of other countries cultures, I mean the generalization was crazy even when Sam talked about Western women it was enough to make me cringe. South Korea has a long way to go to become internationalized if this is still the attitude most Koreans have. Not to say they all do but smh this was kind of disappointing.
I agree about the generalization. I was cringing too. However, Korea is still a very homogenous place so I don't think most Koreans have been exposed to foreign cultures. Compared to when I had just moved to South Korea it's gotten A LOT better but I agree. Korea still has a long way to go. Sorry you felt offended but I hope you understand that not all Koreans feel the same way!
I'm glad it is getting better but it's just kind of sad. We have to fight stereotypes hard enough as it is right here in the US and it's the same thing if not worse over there. I don't believe for one second all Koreans think this way, but I just want to be judged by who I am as a woman and as a person not by my complexion. Generalization and stereotypes are stupid lol.
it didn't seem to me they were generalizing when speaking of african americans. I watched it as specific to his time frame of the 80s and LA in the 80s was rough. however what I took most offense was the way Sam spoke about western women in comparison to korean. it was not only a stereotype but also telling of his underlying subscription to patriarchy that remains prevalent especially in south korea. but to be honest, people should really not take their experiences as truth of course. Like drinking? There is such a thing as social drinking and it really depends on the culture or city/geographic location in America.
The sneezing thing is because in the European countries there was the Plagues and other horrible diseases that happened in the dark ages etc, and so many tons of people died. So since it was a Christian or church related culture in EU (the Western world), people were saying they felt sad someone was likely going to die because they sneezed (while ill). The hygiene was minimal back then and no real medical like science today in modern times. So if you got sick, you likely died. Back then people were living together and getting sick and dying. People were all over the streets and everywhere just dying. So it was a very serious thing. Most likely when people said God bless you... it was as they were running by the person to avoid them and not catch the illness and die. The saying followed the British, Italians, Irish and French people as they came to America and Canada to settle here, and since most were religious or Christian it was part of the culture and a typical saying. People still say it today. Likely not so much in liberal areas as much as you would hear it from those who have Christian background (anywhere USA) or are from the Southern US states. Now its more of a nice thing to say. But the history of the saying was very "grave".
This was hilarious. I really enjoyed it. Taeyceon and John Park are very handsome. It was so funny because you could tell he was uncomfortable when they were swearing. And Miss A's Fei was very cute. :)
+sungmi kang Okay I actually took the time to find it for you. Its at the 27:47 mark where the old guy is talking about how people thought he was a math genius and the old lady replies that americans are amazed that koreans memorize the multiplication table (except that most people do that in elementary school they're just generalizing) Next time watch the video before trying to imply something.
To me, it didn't sound like they were saying that Americans don't know the multiplication table. They just said that Koreans are better at memorizing it because of the way Koreans say numbers.
Fei is such an underrated beauty
Agree
in the Philippines, we call her a "natural beauty" 😉😊 #naturale
you know asians are racist when they say "i wasnt popular because my skin too dark" 35:30
@@atsaatsa6745 not really, its just a preferance besides its only in fei"s hometown. she said taecyeon will be huge in the north because they love dark skin.

"It's not Suzy who's here but Fei!" omg, why can't they just introduce Miss A members without mentioning Suzy all the time,

Inès Vip ohh I meant we got married.
Xuann xx ohh okay sorry x)
i like how taecyeon keep guessing fei's answer and even gave her the quiz answers LOL
It’s still shocking how Taecyeon’s role in Vincenzo turned out. We all never expected it. >.

John Park and John Ok on one frame😂
This was such a great episode, it was really interesting learning all about them. And if that's the case with Taecyeon, let's go for coffee.
Ok so as a black woman the conversation amused and offended me. It was funny when they explained their experiences with black people but to judge a whole race of people by the few you knew in the 1980s is stupid. It's sad in 2014 they are still so ignorant of other countries cultures, I mean the generalization was crazy even when Sam talked about Western women it was enough to make me cringe. South Korea has a long way to go to become internationalized if this is still the attitude most Koreans have. Not to say they all do but smh this was kind of disappointing.
I agree about the generalization. I was cringing too. However, Korea is still a very homogenous place so I don't think most Koreans have been exposed to foreign cultures. Compared to when I had just moved to South Korea it's gotten A LOT better but I agree. Korea still has a long way to go. Sorry you felt offended but I hope you understand that not all Koreans feel the same way!
I'm glad it is getting better but it's just kind of sad. We have to fight stereotypes hard enough as it is right here in the US and it's the same thing if not worse over there. I don't believe for one second all Koreans think this way, but I just want to be judged by who I am as a woman and as a person not by my complexion. Generalization and stereotypes are stupid lol.
funny because you're the one generalizing now
it didn't seem to me they were generalizing when speaking of african americans. I watched it as specific to his time frame of the 80s and LA in the 80s was rough. however what I took most offense was the way Sam spoke about western women in comparison to korean. it was not only a stereotype but also telling of his underlying subscription to patriarchy that remains prevalent especially in south korea. but to be honest, people should really not take their experiences as truth of course. Like drinking? There is such a thing as social drinking and it really depends on the culture or city/geographic location in America.
copymizer she literally said "NOT ALL"
Thank you for subbing so many variety shows for global fans.
The sneezing thing is because in the European countries there was the Plagues and other horrible diseases that happened in the dark ages etc, and so many tons of people died. So since it was a Christian or church related culture in EU (the Western world), people were saying they felt sad someone was likely going to die because they sneezed (while ill). The hygiene was minimal back then and no real medical like science today in modern times. So if you got sick, you likely died. Back then people were living together and getting sick and dying. People were all over the streets and everywhere just dying. So it was a very serious thing. Most likely when people said God bless you... it was as they were running by the person to avoid them and not catch the illness and die. The saying followed the British, Italians, Irish and French people as they came to America and Canada to settle here, and since most were religious or Christian it was part of the culture and a typical saying. People still say it today. Likely not so much in liberal areas as much as you would hear it from those who have Christian background (anywhere USA) or are from the Southern US states. Now its more of a nice thing to say. But the history of the saying was very "grave".
This was hilarious. I really enjoyed it. Taeyceon and John Park are very handsome. It was so funny because you could tell he was uncomfortable when they were swearing. And Miss A's Fei was very cute. :)
Taecyeon was a hot nerd.
love fei........hope that she can get much more attention this year!!!!!!!!!
john would be disowned of he marries a non-korean?? harsh.
thank you KBS! I enjoyed the episode :)
Americans don't know the multiplication table? My school had us memorize it in the third grade but ok...?
Nala D It's ignorance.
+Nala D Where on Earth did you hear them say that Americans don't know the multiplication table?
+sungmi kang ...in the video? Did you watch it or skim?
+sungmi kang Okay I actually took the time to find it for you. Its at the 27:47 mark where the old guy is talking about how people thought he was a math genius and the old lady replies that americans are amazed that koreans memorize the multiplication table (except that most people do that in elementary school they're just generalizing) Next time watch the video before trying to imply something.
To me, it didn't sound like they were saying that Americans don't know the multiplication table. They just said that Koreans are better at memorizing it because of the way Koreans say numbers.
