    I’m Korean living in Korea but I used to live in the US when I was in elementary school and the part where they talked about using their eyebrows while speaking was totally relatable. When I’m speaking in English I constantly move my eyebrows up and down and use my forehead muscles a lot but I noticed that when I’m speaking in Korean that rarely happens. Another thing I noticed is that when I speak English I tend to speak with a so-called ‘vocal fry’ which never happens with Korean. Also my demeanor and personality changes a lot too. Pretty cool if you think about it.

      I actually kinda blame the school system in America where HS and college kids are being educated more about the enemy North Korea but not the progressive South Korea. American school system just wanted to brainwashed American kids that America is the only first world country that exist in order for its citizens not to question the country’s flaws.

      @@lasvegasnevada7514 I think there is some truth to what you are saying as their are states that have books in the school system that leave parts of history out, or frame it in ways that are more favorable to the "white American culture." The public school system is so politicized and those suffering are the children that are only educated enough to pass a state test. Teachers aren't allowed or there isn't enough time to teach children more than what is on the tests. That's why the US is so behind the rest of the world in education. So many kids go into college and can't even write a cohesive paper. They can't even read or write in cursive handwriting anymore o_0.

    I absolutely loved this so much!! I have never been to South Korea but was very aware of it because my good friend was Korean American. Her parents were very traditional so much so that I didn’t get to spend the night with her because she had to spend hours studying and playing her cello. I used to be a school teacher and the problem with our math and education program is that it varies from state to state, there is no nation wide standards. People constantly fight against it because we are very proud of the state’s where we are from and support state independence, we don’t want national standards in anything because we feel like we would be losing too much freedom to a central government. It’s almost as if we are 50 different countries under one umbrella. I also support this view, I live in South Carolina, we have a history of being very independent and the locals still get what we want so you see if we give up power to Washington DC, we would lose a great deal of power…. Most people don’t understand this concept about the United States.

    • @taoist32
      @taoist32 2 года назад +5

      Yes, it's EXACTLY like 50 countries under one banner! I'm from Texas, so I definitely know what you're saying-- especially about education. Ugh...
      On the other hand, it's become a bigger controversy in the last decade or so to push college so much when you can go to trade school and often make better money doing certain blue collar jobs. I went to college and I'm living in Seoul now doing just fine, but my brother took an extra year to graduate high school, never went to college, and he makes more money than me. The quality of education doesn't necessarily matter.

    My favorite thing about this video was the coffee debate, lmfao.
    I’ve gotta say I agree with Kyojun, especially since he lived in the northeast in New Hampshire. I’m from Connecticut and Dunkin’ is our ride or die, haha. I don’t know if it’s a big thing here in the northeast or if it’s an east coast thing, but we love our Dunkin’. Don’t get me wrong, we like local coffee shops/cafés and other chains like Starbucks, but I think most of New England prefers Dunkin’.
    I see where Hanna is coming from, too, though. When I’ve been to California, there were literally NO Dunkin’ Donuts anywhere, it was all Starbucks or other chains that we don’t have where I am. I also think Kyojun is right where it’s about the ✨vibes✨ lmao. West Coast is cooler so you want to seem more fancy with Starbucks or like a local coffee shop, but on the east coast, we just don’t care.
    HOWEVER, I see where Hanna is coming from bc I feel like in New York, especially in the city, the ✨vibes✨ for coffee are also towards Starbucks and other local/cool/hipster coffee shops/cafés. It’s just the energy that fits best in NYC. Boston is the opposite. Bostonians literally RUN on Dunkin’ 😭 I can never find a Starbucks there but there is a Dunkin’ Donuts on every damn block.
    Love you guys, thank you for this video!!! I’m glad that us westerners are becoming more educated and that we have content creators like you that allow us to learn new things. Be well 🥰🤍

    Living in OC and being a Korean American I can totally understand what Hanna was talking about. However, I also would like to point out that while education is very hard in Korea; the thing is that school in America is competitive in another way. This is because I feel like there is more emphasis on being good at everything such as education, athletics, and extracurriculars. Also usually there is more competition against the race to race, especially Asians.

    American here and I’ve gone through the Dunkin drive-thru a few times on road trips for coffee (tried the donuts once, so bad), but have never once intentionally thought of going there. Don’t think I’ve ever been to a Baskin-Robbins. Starbucks will always be popular, but for most places there’s a local shop or regional chain people go to for either coffee or ice cream.

    Personally, I'd rather have job security. I hate that companies treat workers like they are expendable, instead of investing in them and helping them grow with the company for a long time. It used to be that way waaayyyyy back in time, but the US is so capitalistic that it's lost the meaning of community and what it means to help its fellow man. It's true, if you want to make more money and advance in your career you have to actually leave your current job, but so many people have been laid off and the job market is so uncertain, that it would be refreshing to be able to stay with a company until retirement.

    In New Hampshire, there's probably a whole lot less to do (never been, so I could be wrong) and thus, a trip to Dunkin' and/or Baskin makes sense.
    In LA? Holy cow, why would you ever go to Dunkin when you have so many donut options! Sidecar is a must have, but there are also plenty of other non-franchise options as well. And ice cream? I mean, you'd have to make me to go Baskin at gunpoint when you consider all of the gelato places, all of the froyo options, etc. Nothing against Baskin specifically, but they don't offer anything as nearly as unique as gelato or froyo. I can buy grocery store ice cream that's more or less the same as Baskin.

    I don't mean to talk down New Hampshire schools, but no normal 7th grade math class has a final where you multiply a two digit number by a two digit number. We did that in 4th grade.
    I took Algebra in 7th grade (12 years old ), Geometry in 8th, Advanced Algebra in 9th, Calculus in 10th, Advanced Calculus in 11th, and a math elective in 12 th grade.
    I know the good math students probably don't become celebrities, but every time they ask a math question as part of a quiz on a Korean variety show, the Korean celebrities struggle to answer the questions, which generally aren't very hard. Except for Cha Eunwoo. Even when the questions get more difficult, he can answer.

    You are always welcome over here! Such an interesting video on the differences. I don't know where I got it from early in life, but shoes in my house is a NEVER, that is just disgusting. I think Hanna's analogy of the giraffe is pretty accurate in some areas here, but it really depends on where you are. How anyone here thinks that Asia is a country, lol... they clearly didn't do their geography studies in elementary. I love to travel and have a big list of countries I want to visit including South Korea and Japan! I am in Seattle and we are a very diverse area in the metropolitan area, but when you get a bit further away from the city you have less diversity.

    Our family,Korean/Eskimo/American has lived in the mid-west since my twin boys started kindergarten. Before that we lived in Ohio in a large city, people assumed we were all Korean just from our looks, while in the north we never had a problem with racism. But moving to a really rural area in the mid-west it started from what seemed like day one. They assumed we were Chinese and would speak gibberish and pull the skin around their eyes to look Asian. I would explain to my boys that it was just because our neighbors had never seen different races before that they did this. We moved there because as a physician it was a great opportunity for us to start over, (my husband had died) once they realized that we were really not that different we were accepted. Now our community looks out for us when necessary, like during storms, or flooding which happens a lot in our area. My first trip to Korea was two years ago right before the pandemic, one of my twins decided he wanted to visit and learn from his Korean family still there. I stayed there with him for a few months to insure that he wouldn't be mistreated. I'm happy to say both boys fit in well, as far as manners and respect went, like the two above when speaking, people could tell right away that they weren't from Korea because they use their hands and faces to express emotion. Plus they hugged their grandparents openly, something that's not done in Korea. I found that strange as their father was a big hugger too. I noticed that the young men seem to be less mature than not just young female Koreans, but Americans as well, so much so that it shocked me. When my son came home for a visit after a year the difference between him and his twin was very noticeable. He had regressed in actions to almost prepubescent around girls his age. His brother who stayed in the states with me didn't know what to make of it. It was just because he had picked up the mannerisms of those around him at school, which was all boys. We noticed him changing after being home a few weeks, but I had no doubt he would regress once he returned to Korea. That's was the major reason his twin doesn't want to live there until after he's finished college in a few years. Great videos, that help me know what my son may be experiencing while in Korea. Thank you.

    I'm not an American but here in the Philippines, in college or highschool, when you are in a varsity team... you have to maintain a certain grade so you don't fall out of the team and at the same time you get to have a full scholarship (i think it depends on the school but based on my friends varsity experience, they get full scholarship) . It's not just about playing, you have to maintain both - - grades and training.

    Pretty hilarious comment about Baskin Robbins and Dunkin! I noticed the Dunkin Donuts stall in the subway in Boston (northeastern US) was popular for quick coffee, but not going into the actual store! And my first time going into an actual Baskin Robbins was when I heard a Korean idol talk about their mint chocolate icecream ad less than a year ago, and I wanted to try it as an adult. 😂 That time me and the person I went with were the only people in the store!! Definitely not popular here

    Annyeonghaseyo. It was fun listening to your experiences in the USA. I lived in Seoul for five (5) months in 1991 (Moogigae apts in SochoDo district?) - it was not like Itaewon where plenty of “Migook Saram” walked around. People would stop and stare at me with open mouths, LOL. It was fun and I understood perfectly back then it was very rare to see an American walking about in that part of Seoul. I even remember after 5 months seeing another American and starting myself because his head was so 3-dimensional (cranial prognathism and occipital lobe). This was 30+ years ago. I love Korean people, food, and culture. I have no problems pointing to all the different countries in Asia and being able to discriminate one from another. Those kids in Orange County did not take advantage of a good eduction, sadly. Seems like they teach nonsense in school these days versus when I was there. Anyway, just wanted to share and let you know not all Americans are so uneducated as to think Asia is one country, but some kids do lack it and educational discipline! I enjoy your videos very much. Kamsahamnida!

    Northern Idaho, US here -- Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robins aren't popular here either, lol... its Krispy Kreme and Starbucks and then probably frozen yogurt places/pop up icecream shops ... but even then, you def wouldn't take a date to either place... maybe stop by Starbucks for a drink before heading to the actual date location =P the perception i get of DD and BR is that ... usually only older folks go there. The "local" BR ended up closing down entirely due to lack of traffic... i think the nearest one is probably several hours away.

    I’m 61 and grew up in a small town in Idaho. Baskin Robbins was a big deal back then because it had so many flavors. I’m thinking it got less popular when companies like Ben & Jerry’s (and even store brands) started putting out fancier flavors. Why make a special trip to a store for a cup of ice cream when you can get something similar for less at the grocery store. Ice Cream cakes were a big deal for awhile but some stores even have them.

    as an American, it's definitely true that dunkin donuts isn't as popular here. people still go there, but it's significantly less popular than starbucks (starbucks is extremelyyyy popular). and for baskin robbins, Americans go there, but I would say it has more of an image of being a place you take your kids rather than somewhere you'd pick for a date as an adult, for example (which I guess is kinda unfair because baskin robbins does have good ice cream). also I used to live in Orange County (though not Huntington Beach), and I actually think taco bell is a pretty popular fast food place like for college students to eat for cheap, though people go with the understanding that it's not the place to go if you want actual Mexican food

    Baskin Robbins was popular when I was in grade school, but they all closed down in the last decade. They became uncool when I was in high school. No one goes to them anymore. Why go there when u can just go to the grocery store and buy whatever ice cream u want?
