I think no one takes North Korea seriously. But i do feel bad about those poor people living under an opressive regime and being brain washed everyday.
I agree with you i feel bad for the North korean people...
couldn't agree more!
Yeah, and I also feel bad for the citizens of USA that also get brainwashed daily
+Daniel Semi I have to say. I'm a bit happy that i don't live in the USA...
a Hate North korea the attacking shout korea every day a hate them
Is it just me, or do these Koreans getting interviewed seem to be a lot smarter than the Americans that are interviewed on buzzfeed and the news? They just seem like they know what they are talking about
Definitely.
yeah america gave them that freedom :)..
are you kidding me, these guys sound as if they never went to the fucking middle school
+TF Most Korean Middle/High schoolers study at least 3 times more than Americans.
2nd highest IQ in the world... well
Next on Asian Boss: What Do Young North Koreans Think Of South Korea?
+MrOldestPerson Maybe they really want reunification because they should liberate poor South Koreans from the oppression of U.S.A.
He would be killed by sniper during interview haha lol
lol It's IMPOSSIBLE... Most of them don't even know what the smartphone is...
It's not impossible at all! There are about 200,000 North Korean refugees in South Korea. So, he can interview them.
There are about 300000 North Korea in China.South Korea just receive a little.
To be very honest I'd feel safer in South Korea rather than in Europe nowadays
true that
you know... like terrors all over europe
I'd feel safer in freaking mexico with all it's cartels and delincuency than Europe right now
I feel a bit sacred of Europe, first i live Spain and maybe one day could happen what is happening right now in France or in Belgium 😥
do you live in germany?
북한한테 신경도 안쓰던 외국인들이
북한 인민들 왜 굶게 놔둠? 왜 안도와줌?
이러는 댓글들 보는거 좀 짜증나네
우리 세금으로 이미몇번은 더 도와줬어;; 쌀도 보내고 돈도 보내고
근데 김정은이 미사일 개발비,군사비로 다 빼돌리는걸 어떡하라고
우리한테 미사일 조준하는 놈들한테
군사비 지원해주는거랑 다름이 없는데
뭘 자꾸 어떻게 더 도우라는거야;

translation) I'm sick of these non-Koreans spouting "Why do they let the North Korean people starve? Why don't SK help out NK?".
It's so annoying to see these comments.
We already helped NK many times. We sent rice and money.
But what can we do when Kim Jong-un taking away the money for missile development and military expenses?
Must we send money to those who aim missiles at us?
It's no difference from providing military expenses for NK.
Why do they keep asking for more help?
Google translated it for me
North Korea is the real korea. South Korea is American Pets
I visited South Korea in May and it was completely amazing! Fell in love with it and it's so true how safe you feel there. I was never concerned about North Korea before I went and I feel even less concerned about them now that I've been to South Korea. I agree with the one girl in the video, North Korea has to know that if they tried to start anything the whole world would fight back. Doesn't seem worth it.
Wasn't the air dirty when you were in Korea? 2016 spring had the dirtiest air in Korea because bad air from China conquered Korea. now it's ok.
+brea seroto Not at all. It was a beautiful place. I didn't notice any dirty air at all and I'm from a mountainous place with lots of good, clean air.
you were lucky .you must have dropped by a few fine days. i bought even an air cleaner in this spring. lol. but nowadays air is ok .lol
+brea seroto I was there May 3rd-12th and the weather was pretty great. I guess I was lucky!
Korea is very safety. No stealing pockets, no gun shot. Many korean is very kindness. It is nice better then many other country.
우리는 매년 우리세금으로 북한에 쌀갖다주는데 돈한푼 안갖다준 외국놈들이 한국인들이 북한 기아문제 신경안쓴다고 실망이라는거 어이없네 진짜ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
박꾸 What a nerve that people who haven t helped for NK poverty blame us we don t give a shit about it even though we annually aid crops or something to north korea with our tax :(
그리고 그 쌀을팔이서 무기를 사죠 ㅎㅎ
박꾸
쌀을 주면 국내에서 난리치고
쌀을 안주면 외국에서 난리치고
정말 진퇴양난이구만 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
돈갖다주면 핵개발되서 위협이나 하지. 그게 문제임
쌀 =포탄으로 등가교환됨 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
When I hear korea I think of Dramas and kpop
+Straw Berry I meaaaaan. If I were Korean I would be offended. Korea is much, much more than "kpop and dramas"
True, but they make some of the best music and shows.
+Tami Weinstein hmm.. not necasarrily, I instantly think the same, but that's because I became familiar with korea (south on this particular subject) through tv shows. I am completely aware that Korea is so much more than just that, but what straw berry said wasn't a bad thing.
***** congrats! you deserve a medal, special snowflake
im half korean and this is quite offensive. korea is so much more than just those kpop groups/idols/dramas. i know this comment is a year old but i just wanted to let this out :c
sad to see what war made. a beautiful country splitted into two different ways
Beng. blame stalin
I know right :(
+Ole Tim Herr It was the US officers Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel who defined the 38th parallel. Idiot.
SUM1 yes, but who got the north?
Ole Tim Herr And what? Your claim was based on who to blame. Those two US military officers are who decided the location of the division, to split the country in two but keep the capital Seoul under American control, and it was done using only a National Geographic map. All that happened next was it was telegrammed to the Soviet Union and they accepted it. No experts on Korea and its population were consulted.
Read history.
"Oh, it's North Korea. Let's go have chicken." Lol that girl is awesome.
I am Korean and I definitely agree with their opinion. Some of people here say they are ignorant but if you are South Korean citizen in your 20s, suffering from massive unemployment, your stance would also likely to be the same as girls above. Even though South Koreans try to help North Koreans with food and water, those financial aid and support all goes through North Korean central distribution system which means its highly unlikely that it will get to them anyways. How would South Koreans suppose to help North Koreans when the communist party blocks them? Secondly, would you want to devote your young lifetime to rebuild your own country? Do you think you are that nationalistic and patriotic to suffer all your life time which you can enjoy in stable, capitalist society? Would you be able to cope with pressure of merging capitalist and communist citizens together in that small peninsula? Have a think about it. What you speak online is easier than what you actually need to go through.
Aden Knight that is so true, It's easy to say that to foreigner, Help your country and others and blablabla but Who really want to spend the rest of your life fighting for others when you have a family waiting for you at home and you need to provide for them, That is the same case with the hungry kids in Africa, Everybody ignore the situation because most people already struggle everyday to provide for their family.
yeah it wouldn't be fair to dump the entire population of NK into SK. would be like asking saudi arabia to take in *every* refugee in the middle east.
@jessie easel how selfish of you, to type on youtube telling other Koreans selfish while you don't even donate a single dime to North Korean people? At least, I have devoted 2 years worth of military service in South Korea, fighting back whenever North Korea shoots missiles, getting paid $160 per month where economy is 11th largest economy in the world?
+Aden Knight hey dude can you tell me that is south korea becoming Christian majority country? I have heard buddhists in south korea these days hide their religion. Are all these things true?
+Fast Networks I know after Korean War, there was a rapid increase of Christianity forming in Korean society. I am not sure about buddhists in south korea hiding their religion... I think it is more opposite. Some famous buddhists even publish books and it scores best seller section in Korean book stores.
I'm sad that they don't seem to think about the people who are starving and suffering in North Korea. I'm actually disappointed.
They don't have no control of it.
+rebeca llanos Actually we have. South Korea helped North Koreans with A LOT of food before, but nowadays S Korean people don't wanna help them anymore. It's really sad...
Your statement is bad and you should feel bad. You have no idea what you're talking about and the way you're thinking is awfully naive.
Dude our economy is a shit storm why should we care about some almost irrelevant dictatorship up north when many people are struggling themselves in South Korea.
i agree that
"even if north korea has a lot of natural resources, it's not like south korea is starving" man that burn.
Sad to see once a family ......
Now doesn't even care about another

OO 👌 I get
@@stellarim198gaming5 that's what happens when you divide people
My South Korean brothers & sisters I love you all so much from Turkey.😍❤
lol.... I live in South Korea and I usually hear about North Korean news on Facebook from my friend outside of Korea.
Most people I know here, in Poland, whenever someone just says 'Korea' think about South. It's necessary to add 'North' to make people realise they're not supposed to think about South. Every single Korean Language handbook I've seen, named only 'Korean Language' teaches only Southern dialect. I thought some may find it interesting. Also I think Polish people generally like (THE) Koreans a lot :)
Hello, CAmpingCAr Joa, are you think of north koreans like they are some other nation or you think of them like they are the same people as you are, but under totalitarian control?
@axl kochubey Hi I know this wasn't directed at me, but to give my opinion I think most young people think of North Koreans as a different people. South Koreans even tend to think of South Koreans living abroad as a different people, really.
For older people it's visibly different though. Back in 2006 (before the North went totally berserk but still kind of weird) when there were rumors that North Korea had nuclear weapons, I clearly remember my parents saying approvingly "If America and China has nuclear bombs 'we' should have them also." They've changed their thoughts now obviously, but that's something nobody born after 1990 would say.
thank you for your answer

North Korea: WE"LL DESTROY SOUTH KOREA
South Korea : Huh? Another threat . Lol what's for dinner?
I never thought about visiting Korea until my husband deployed there and I went to visit him... But it's my favorite country I've ever travelled to! Such rich and diverse culture that's eagerly shared, both historically and on trend. Don't be afraid -- you're missing out!
I think its more ethical to want reunification as a South Korean to help the poor citizens who are living poorly in North, even if it hurts Sourh, its nowhere near as much as North Korean citizens have suffered.
luvlycrazycooki3 I disagree with you and I have good reasons. The reunification would be a lot of money and if you look at Vietnam after the Vietnam war they have spent a ton of money for the reunification and right now Vietnam is a very poor country. If SK does do the reunification it would be the same as Vietnam and we do not want that. It would just mean suffering like the NK and the SK would be running out of money which could lead to debt to the country. Unless Nk is willing to have peace both countries can have peaceful lives. Call me selfish but I wouldn't say making both country fail instead of one is worth it.
ღмιиʝσσ кιмღ Vietnam was poor to begin with South Korea is prosperous so it wouldn't fall apart with reunification stuff would just be cheaper and they would have to revitalize the north that's all
True, but if we talk about the costs it will take... there are a lot of things that would make SK suffer. Although a reunification would be nice. I mean.. the infrastructures, the foods. The gap is just too big now, although possible I guess, let's just go with the flow for now.
A lot of NK's are still "brainwashed" so it wouldn't be a good matter if they just found everything was a lie, they would think oh the enemy's fooling us and stuff.
where will you get the money to do that? Some people are loyal to the North Korean regime/leader, how would you change their minds?
Germany didn't suffer much after reunification but prospered even more. South Koreans who would vote against it, considering the real examples (not fkin Vietnam lmao), are pathetic.
These people are not concerned with NK. They're concerned about school, University, promotions, taxes etc.

군필자들 너무 화내지마시고 인터뷰 하신분들 얘기 들어보면 저 재미교포가 의도된 인터뷰를 하잖아요. 여성분들에게 외국분들이 두려워 한다는 식으로 유도를 하니 당연히 안전하다고 대답한거죠. 안보의식 결여보다 만날 저런식으로 인터뷰 하고 편집하는게 더 문제죠.

Ask chinese and taiwanese about the reunification. You will get many many different answers.

I love Korea and Koreans.. :) From India.

I know that South Korea is the safest country in the world. I've lived there.
But about North Korea, you guys feel safe because over 500,000 South Korean soldiers are protecting your country day and night. Saying "What are they thinking? Then I forget about it." "If they shoot some missiles or whatever, the rest of the world will know." is not helping them. I have many Korean friends who discharged from the army, they long for the unification of Korea. They have elaborate plans for the future of Korea, pretty young and brave too. You guys should have interviewed people like them.
i really hope that young ppl in korea take a little profound interest and concern about social issues. ppl who are interviewed in this video seem so immature. Hope that they read some news or articles how this society goes on so that they can say more expertly and clearly what they're thinking even in unexpected situation like this interview and hope that they could have some sense of natinal security.
+Atmega 328 yeah. i hope north would attack south first. so south finally has a reason to attack back against north ^^

우리가 아직 전쟁중인걸 잊어서는 안되지만 그렇지만 매일 계속 전쟁중이라고 일상생활에서도 북한에 대해 무서워하고 두려워해야하는가요? 딱 적당한 선이 좋을 것 같습니다
무섭고 두려워해야하지 않아서가 아니라 휴전국가에 살면서 만일에 어떤 상황이 벌어질지 모르는데 북한에대한 경각심이 부족해도 너무 부족하니 하는 말입니다.
몇년전이야 북한이 핵을 제대로 만들 수 없다는 의견이 많았지만 지금은 성공을 했다고 봐도 무방할 정도로 핵 실험에 진전이 있었습니다. 핵을 꼭 쏘는데만 사용할 수 있는게 아니라 북한이 핵을 완성하는것에 성공하고 그걸로 협박을 하기 시작한다면 우리나라 전체가 살아있는 노예 그 자체가 될지도 모릅니다. 물론 여러 가능성이 있겠지만 점점 심각해지는 상황인데 너무 평화로운 것도 조금 아이러니하네요.
민선박 이건 두려움에 떠는게 아니라 안보불감증
핵가지고 협박한다고 노예라니... ㅋㅋㅋ 군사 경제 외교 그 모든 면에서 이미 북한은 우리나라를 따라올 수 없음... 정치권 인사들이 바보 멍청이들도 아니고 핵으로 위협한다고 굽신거릴까요? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 지나치게 순수하시네...
화인문 저기... 북한같은 미성숙 국가가 핵을 보유한다는게 매우 위험한 상황은 맞지만 그로인해 노예가 된다뇨. 핵 개수로 따지면 중국이 월등한데 우리가 중국의 노예이던가요 일본이 중국 노예이던가요. 북한도 결국 원하는게 체제 유지기 때문에 정신병 걸리지 않은 이상 핵 쏠 가능성은 낮습니다. 쏘는 순간 너 죽고 나 죽자 인걸 누가 모를까요. 북한 핵문제는 중요한 이슈고 실제로 해결을 위해 노력하고 있구요. 다만 영상에 나온 분들이 지나치게 경각심이 부족한거같긴합니다
Korean women are beautiful..
+Let's get right into the news Most women wear makeup.
makeup is ugly as fuck
90% do plastic surgery...parents save $ for their kids to hv surgery after graduating from university, then look for jobs.
that's why lots of them they look like the same
in Korea, a husband never know his wife really look like until their baby is borned...
Rebecca Carman "90%" plastic surgery??? what the fuck what are you sayig???
None of them seemed to mention the people of North Korea who are suffering.. They just talked about economics.. Do they know about the starvation and pain people are suffering?
They know But N.Korea is known as a nasty gang first
Hey dude. Idk what country you are from? But they are actual KOREANS who actually live in S.KOREA. Do you think they wont understand about the liberty and societies in North Korea? Bruh...like.. I appreciate your opinion because they doesnt seem well educated . But lets make this clear... They are the closest and they know much then you guys.. LOL..basically saying that spanish people know more about U.K. Than americans
+Le hend when i said 'do they not know' i don't mean literally. Obviously they know! I meant, are they not thinking about it? :)
hjc9114 But dude Korean ppl care poverty and starvation of N.Koreans btw what If S.Korea gives N.Korea rice? Reply is launching missiles and rockets Rice is sent to soldiers
+D.H Shin i understand :) i just noticed that none of the people interviewed commented on the people who were suffering, thats all
I think it's a pretty sad perspective considering the suffering that is happening north of the border. Reunification would not be easy, economically or socially but it doesn't have to happen like the way the two Germanies were united (basically overnight with the West swallowing up the East), "one korea two systems" could be maintained for some time while the North catches up with South Korean investment and World assistance. The long term goal must be that all people on the Korean Peninsula should be free.
When Germany reunited in 1990, West Germany needed to do lots of investments to East Germany to make it possible. Basically the Federal Republic of Germany got 5 new Eastern states and the city of Berlin was reunited as well. If the reunification of Korea happens, it means that South Korea needs to do lots of investments just because there is a big gap in the standard of living and North Koreans haven't used to live in an open democratic society.
It's so sad that no one seems to care about human rights issues in North Korea...I mean there are numerous people oppressed, tortured, and massacred under such cruel dictatorship. I think that's the biggest reason why South Korea should be reunified with North Korea. I can't believe most people in this video simply talk about how reunification might affect the economy. I'm a Korean living in the States and even here I've noticed that the people who actually care about saving or somehow helping North Korean people are mostly Korean Americans and not South Koreans from Korea.
+yogurtngranola i think that there are those that do, but they did not appear in this video, or in the media enough.
Simon Park Um..you're not getting my point. I'm not saying the North and South should be reunified right now at this moment (I believe in gradual integration of the North by the South), nor am I denying that there will be negative consequences as well as positive ones. I'm simply disappointed in the fact that no one in this interview is even mentioning the terrible human rights issues in the North or the fact that South Korea and the rest of the world should strive to bring humanity back to North Korea. Yes, I am for reunification because of these reasons, but if there is a way to save the oppressed people in North Korea without reunification, I would also consider that as a possible solution.
they didnt even acknowledged the things north korean citizens go through so I was surprised
Actually they want unification. If Korea is unified, that means US can put their troops on the doorstep of China. China would be worried because you'd literally have a rival's army next to you. Thats why China keeps NK alive, so US can't get near them.
It's a bit of an unnecessary worry on the part of the Chinese, and at this point, I'm not sure they're all that worried anymore. There is really no need for China to use NK as a buffer state anymore, as the Norks have proven themselves to be parasitic and act like a tantrum-throwing child, with China being left to clean up the mess repeatedly.
That said...
I think that, at this point, China would also not mind unification, but probably with some stipulations. China and South Korea already have diplomatic ties and a robust economic relationship, despite South Korea's (accurate) assessment that China is often complicit with the North, even after some serious provocations like the YP-do attack.
We all feel safe until it happens. I'm sure Hiroshima felt safe until the Bomb was dropped.
Tub Her Propagabda goes both ways. They are right not to want to live in constant fear through worry but at the same time they seem to completely rule out the North it's impossible for David to attack Goliath when far from the truth.
I don't think people in Hiroshima felt safe when America was barbecuing half of Japan.
imperial japan was going on a territorial expansion spree, south korea isn't doing anything like that. My father recently visited seoul and said there is no fear at all and most of it is just media propaganda
youre kidding right? The mentality of South Koreans today is comparable to the Japanese during a war in which they were the aggressors and losing? I assure you the people of Hiroshima felt anything but safe lol
Hiroshima was a bomb dropped by a white pilot against an Asian enemy yellow skinned nation, North Korea dropping a bomb on South is just plain stupid, they surely would ve choosed Guam as the target
I want to visit South Korea. That would be such an amazing experience. Hopefully one day.
"Even though North Korea has a lot of natural resources, it's not like South Korea is starving" damn this savage roast could trigger North Korea to actually do a real nuclear test Lmao
W
It would be nice to see N.Korea and S.Korea unify one day and become one country however right now it's just not practical since S.Korea is so advanced in every way whereas N.Korea is the opposite.
Yeah north korea could take it though they are strong
북한의 도발이 무섭지 않을 수 있는 이유는 지금도 대한민국을 지켜주는 군인분들이 있기 때문입니다.
I'm sick of these non-Koreans spouting "Why do they let the North Korean people starve? Why don't SK help out NK?".
It's so annoying to see these comments.
We already helped NK many times. We sent rice and money.
But what can we do when Kim Jong-un taking away the money for missile development and military expenses?
Must we send money to those who aim missiles at us?
It's no difference from providing military expenses for NK.
Why do they keep asking for more help?
South Koreans treat North Koreans terribly! 7/10 times on average, North Korean defectors in South Korea are denied jobs because "we don't hire North Koreans". Y'all are acting like Korea's just going to reunify overnight, it won't. It will take AT LEAST 50 YEARS for Korea to safely reunify.
@rf If you treat North Koreans so well, then why do they all say that they're being discriminated against and facing negative social stigmas?
i already go to south korea. and i feel safe. police and army are everywhere. so when get i lost or something bad happen to me . I don't feel panic at all. and all of them seem like a nice people . and beautiful girl and place too and fresh air too. hihiii . next time i go to south korea i will make sure i get a girlfriend over there.
thought Muslims weren't allowed to date, especially not with non arabs/muslims
Ichu Pichu ayyy it's just a joke don't be too serious xD
Ichu Pichu no that not true. i dont know how to explain to you. since im not to good with english. but what i can tell you. that not true. sorry bcos i can't answer your question.
+Ichu Pichu non arab? btw, if they converted into islam.. they can married with other muslim. I feel little offended thinking that i am not arab but muslim
Yeah many don't follow islam too much. People are getting more liberal. I honestly don't follow everything. I tend to skip something else. I am not a pious person. Not only Muslim are become liberal, those Christians who not allowed to also have pre marital sex. About crime, when it came to crime, any people from any religion or races will do it.
I respect and am very appreciative of the Asian Boss channel for sharing information and helping to raise global awareness regarding the situation of North Korea. With that said, especially after hearing the unreal stories of multiple defectors who managed to escape the hell of North Korea on this same channel, watching this made me feel sick and disgusted, which takes nothing away from the fact that this video was very much needed and relevant. Again, thanks to the channel for that.
As someone from a completely different culture, I was appalled by the opinions shared in the video, many of which I found revealing of selfishness, lack of awareness, and of the fact that these young South Koreans appear to be shockingly deprived of empathy, in spite of the fact that their actual brothers and sisters are fighting to survive through one of the most atrocious chapters in the history of humanity as we speak. Meanwhile, not a single interviewee had the decency to verbalize or at least acknowledge that this large scale crime against humanity is happening right at their doorstep. I understand that the interviewees were answering the questions asked but still, not hearing a word from most of them showing they can put themselves in the shoes of the people of the north is a little tough to stomach.
It's one thing for someone to state themselves as an individual witnessing a complicated situation that they don't know how to fix, but it's another to present yourself as a South Korean citizen and to flat out state that the thought of a reunification isn't something to at least want to tend towards just because of how it might affect South Korea economically, as if it was the rational opinion of a well balanced human being. I thought most of the opinions shared in this video to be rather reprehensible and shameful not just for the South Korean people, but for humanity as a whole. I understand the Korean youth is faced with with an extremely difficult burden to carry and that the temptation of just ignoring the problem is massive, but it doesn't make it any less horrible.
Why are the north people our brothers and sisters? Sure, all of us feel extremely bad for some innocent North people.. But they are no more different then people in pain at the other side of the world. I'm not saying they should be ignored, that I don't want to help them, but they aren't our brothers and sisters.. We do want to help them, but our incompetent president giving more and more to the North while they consider us a laughing matter doesn't exactly make our hearts flutter. And what did North Korea ever do for us? So far, all we got was threats and insults. As a little example, our president's speech was called a matter that a boiled ox head would laugh(which sounds much worse, rather like a curse when translated into Korean) by the north's government. AND we heard that although our government gives subsidies to the North every year. And it's not like we don't need the money.
And by economic problems.. I don't know about you, but for us, that's not something to take lightly. we may have to pay 28,427,672,956 dollars for 30 years, or 8,385,744,235 for 45 years. And that's estimated by Germany's situation. As for them, East Germany and South germany didn't have much difference in their economic situations, AND the South had to pay THAT much. Naturally, People had to pay so much taxes.. But what about us? Unlike Germany, South Korea's economic power is 22 times better than North Korea, and it's not like South Korea's economic power is strong. It's quite possible North and South's Unification will cause astronomical costs. For normal or poor people, this will mean complete hell. How can we live?? People who aren't rich die out trying to help them. I don't care if this sounds selfish, It's a fact.
It doesn't help that we're all extremely afraid and worried that we might be taken over by communism in the process of our unification, too.
@@user-fd5ny1gx5c I am very appreciative of your response and your perspective is perfectly sound. To my defense what I will say is that in the way that i was framing my opinion, and this is my mistake for not having said it explicitly, i was implying that in the event where the government of the north by some sort of miracle managed to get dismantled I would have hoped that at least the people from the south would have wanted to include them, including specifically with financial contributions, but i realize now how abstract and almost irrelevant my point was...
@@user-fd5ny1gx5c They wrote "brothers and sisters" because both South Koreans and North Koreans are closely related, and if you feel nothing from seeing your close ethnic group dying, then you lack empathy.
You contradict yourself saying, "We do want to help them," then writing a whole paragraph explaining your selfish reasons of why you do not want to help them.
North Koreans are brain-washed and controlled, and Kim Jong-Un runs everything there. I do not know why you say, "they consider us a laughing matter" and "what did North Korea do for us?" as if the people of North Korea have the power to do or be anything other than what their government desires.
No one takes economic problems lightly, but to choose comfort over saving your close brothers and sisters is disgusting and selfish.
I was thinking of visiting SK but never mind. Maybe in the next life where the people have empathy and unification is occurring or has occurred. I do not want to visit a country where the people are okay with their close brothers and sisters dying.
I do not think the koreans interviewed in this video were being selfish and i think they do have empathy, for the north koreans under their crazy dictator

As a reserve force and South Korean, many South Korean whose age is teenages and early 20s don't think seriously about North Korea.
Why they don't care about it is that national army try hard to prevent provocation and defend the border 24/7. When North Korea tried to fire the missile, although citizen didn't care about it, national armies were already in emergency situation.
So I believe national army and don't need to care much about North Korea and related provocation as citizen
* FYI
- North Korea have used their weapon (missile, nuclear experiment) as key of negotiation. NK want to take advantageous position by the weapon. So almost of people in South Korea don't care seriously about it.
- This video just interviewed young people (maybe under 25), so men at the video don't take compulsory military service. Moreover, if women have friend and co-workers who are in or completed military service, they will answer differently, not same with women in video. If Asian Boss interview people whose age over 25, they give absolutely another answer. (I'm 28)
The girls are all so beautiful in this video
they surely dont hit the fast food restaurants every hour like some country i dont want to mention :)
I think South Korea has the best cosmetics ever. I highly encourge everyone to try them. I've never been disappointed in any single poduct frrom SK. 70-80% of the time when I use european suff I can say it doesn't do what it promises but with Korean beauty poducts I'd say they always work just as described only not always as spectacularly as one might imagine.

Yeah, Koreans, really take care of them self, if you didn’t know. There products are amazing!! But, a lot of them are funny, and they know it’s funny, they’re human too.
For reunification to happen, the young NK generation has to stand up and be the change even though it might seem impossible. Also, this vid makes me appreciate that I've grown up in a reunified Germany. I remember my parents saying that people in the army said they will not shoot their protesting neighbors, friends and fellow residents if they are told to do so. Most soldiers wouldn't do that.

We love South Korea, wonderful people lives up there and what an extraordinary culture they have, not need to mention about the technological innovations and marvels they create every single day!..
I knew about N.Korea way before I knew what S.Korea was like. The only thing I knew about S.Korea was that Samsung is from there. Now that the world has its eyes on S.Korea (we all know why), I wonder more and more about how politics have been impacted and how people from both countries feel
the most beautiful thing about Korea....... are the Koreans
I am sure it is the same in NK
only difference is the NKs are starving
joe ten
not all are starving. My brother-in-law was the deputy of reunification. He used to go to Kason investment zone and was the guy who put the stamp on all entry apps for SK businesses going into NK. Their standard of living is low but not like the 1990s when they were F'ed. From what I hear, starvation is a little more propaganda than reality.
no name I can only hope that's true. But then your brother in law might only being seeing what the NK wants him to see
When I meet people from other country who don't know about and are not interested in korea that much, the first question they are going to say is if I am from North or South Korea. The following question after I answer I am absolutely from South is if your country is safe . We are so good and fine. I can agree with some interviewees on the video. There are kind of usual routine beyond description which only people in the situation go through. We believe we have quite good weapons to defend and attack them on alert. What we are really afraid of is the head.

South Korea: *I dont know her*

당장의 부담은 고스란히 현세대 국민들이 떠맡아야 하니까. 이기적이 될 수밖에.
남북한은 남북베트남이나 동서독일과는 차원이 다른 경제수준과 사회 격차를 가지고 있는데다가 지금도 독일이 통일후유증을 제대로 앓고 있는것을 보면 정말 진지하게 대한민국이 버텨낼 수 있는지조차 예상하기 어려움.
그래도 북한에 이변이 생기고 하면 생각지도 못한 뜻밖의 통일이 순식간에 현실로 다가오겠죠. 당장은 아니더라도.
어쨌든 남북한이 영원히 따로살게 아닌 이상은 통일은 피할 수 없는 숙명이고, 그 때가 오면 최소한 몇십년, 몇백년은 잡고 가능한 한 천천히 과정을 밟아서 부작용이나 문제를 최소화하는게 최선일 거라고 생각함.
I've never thought about war either. But it seems like it's really becoming a serious matter, so being completely honest I have felt scared even in my own country, Australia. The thought that all of this may possibly disappear in a couple of years and that a World War 3 might occur is terrifying, especially since technology these days is so much more advanced. The damage would be so much more worse than in the past. I'm only 15, never thought I'd have these kind of thoughts at this age.
I'm not Korean, so I'll lead by saying I can't ever truly speak on this issue. I will say though that my heart goes out to all the North Korean citizens living under an awful regime. I also feel for the families forever divided. I'd like to think if I were in a Korean's shoes I'd yearn for a unified country if not for myself then for the sake of all the people North of the divide. A unification is easier said than done though. Realistically, even if powerful leaders were taken down, it would take time, an incredible amount of money, and patience for two drastically different cultures to mesh again. It's just so sad to me that there ever was a divide.

Hahaha..North Koreans keep on Testing Nukes and South Koreans feel "it happens all the time" 😂😂
Reunification! I can't believe what these young people are saying. I mean Korea is north and south. They have the same blood they are the same people.
I wish someday we won't say north or south Korea but say Korea.
Well said!
No wonder they have one of the highest suicide rates in the world. They dont give a fuck about each other.
So if they gave a fuck about each other, both North and South Korea's suicide rates would drop? Lol
***** people who have supported from others are less likely to commit suicide.
Reunification would be disastrous though. South Korean life would be flipped on its back. It's like forcing two completely different time periods together and hoping for the best. North Korea would stunt South Korea's growth. They should help North Korea without uniting, it isn't necessary. Families can see each other without taking that risky step.
there still at war technically and that's what's sad😓
It's surprising for me that they don't mind the fact that half of the country is starving and being told to live in fear of an attack.
They can't do anything about it and anyway they don't see the other half starving. It is a long time since they are separated and most bonds are broken. I don't think they really live in fear of North Korea attacking them as this is unlikely to happen. And besides, South Korea is not defencless either. They have a strong, well trained army and modern weapons. And the protection of the USA I am sure.
+theo9952 the ones who live in fear are the North Koreans. i know they aint able to do anything due state soberanity and stuff. the feeling i expected was at least them feeling sorry for their explored and mislead kinspeople
Pedro Santana
People living in an recluse country ruled by a totalitarian regime which demands from them not only absolute obedience but also constant PRAISE for the "great leader", naturally feel depressed to say the least. They are afraid of the regime more than anything else I think. And no matter how ignorant the regime tries to keep them, they are not stupid. They have to pretent of course that thanks to the "great leader" they live the perfect lives, or there might be a hell to pay if they do not, but they know and secretely they crave the freedom they can't have.
theo9952 That's exactly the point Theo. What I'm trying to saying is that the South Koreans in the video seems to have no empathy (or rather, also not allowed to express it) towards the people being opressed in the north. The girl even says that if the segregation ended they would be losing a lot.
It sounds like I'm becoming a commie myself... ;(
Pedro Santana
Well, some people who are better off, may feel this way for the less fortunate. But I think that many others are not of the same opinion. There was also negative sentiment for East Germans after the fall of the Berlin wall but now they have an East German prime minister in the united Germany. Things are not always what they seem to be.
Communism was supposed to lead to a happier, more humane society when it was envisioned at first. Sadly, it did not, I very much regret to have to say.
As a South Korean just to ecplain in a very simple way its something like how people react to mass shootings its not like you're going to be constantly worried
I know this is a serious topic and I'm about to make a very unserious comment, but here goes. The women in Korea could not be more gorgeous. It must be heaven for the men that live there. The men are good looking to. Just very very beautiful group of people.
Prank Girl that's just your opinion
Satan True. You think I'm wrong?
What you don't know is they all had plastic surgery. And that can always be bought with money
Prank Girl what you don't know is that you can't make a generalization like that based off the few people you see. That's like seeing thin people on US television shows and saying "what you don't know is that Americans are all obese and have heart disease"
The two Koreas are very different culturally. Even if they would be united, the people living in north wouldn't want to mix with the people living in the south much, and the other way around. So the country would still be split in two, not by a country border but by a cultural border.
+Phoenixe1986 that's why we need to be reunified as soon as possible
The first thing comes up with a word Korea to me is South Korea. The word North Korea doesn’t mean anything to me because I don’t know anything about this land except news on TV about new weapons. In fact it’s just a black hole on the world map. In the meantime South Korea means real life things such as good movies, K-pop, mobile telephones etc.
kpop, movies is real life lol...you are brainwashed
the real issue to me is that the individual people in north korea re living in absolutely unacceptable circumstances. for the sake of those poor people a reunification should clearly be an objective. koreans are still one people with one culture and one language im honestly shocked with how little empathy they seem to have sometimes.
I do believe the koreans interviewed here do have empathy for the north koreans but there is also a divide between them and the north koreans
"Because if we were to reunify, we would be getting the short end of the stick"
It hurts but its true. It would be an extremely hard situation to manage. This isn't east and west Germany. There has never extisted a country as brutal as north korea, and as materialist and competitive as south korea.
I came back from Korea today, and already I miss it!
I SPENT 2 YEARS IN SOUTH KOREA. I VISITED SEOUL ON A WEEKLY BASIS AND AMONG A POPULATION OF ABOUT 10 MILLION PEOPLE I NEVER FELT THREATHENED WALKING THE STREETS AT NIGHT.

I'm Korean and ithink we must unify because we are family. It's shameful to divide and fight each other when you are same nation. (ethnicity)
West Germany and East Germany reunited despite East Germany being much poorer than West Germany and I think they turned out being stronger as one. So maybe both Koreas should consider doing the same.

i was very disappointed with the young Koreans shown here who were against reunification. And most of that blame has to go to the South Korean media, leaders, and educators who have fanned the fear of the cost of the reunification, citing Germany's experiences. Yet none of the Korean leaders have pointed out, what the reunification of Germany did for that country after 20 years later. Germany is now the strongest country in Europe because they reunified. The Korean leaders have failed to explained to their people why unification is necessary. It's necessary because there are 22 million fellow Koreans who are suffering who need our help. That's enough reason alone.
+이명우
If South Koreans don't want to unify with North Korea, I guess they won't mind if North Korea is annexed by China some day?
so sad to see comments saying 'we dont want to be poor'. We, south korean, wont be poor. you dont have to feed north. they north korean people will manage. it is selfish. its like you have a brother and he gets poor. he is almost dying. and you still dont want to give a spoon of rice. they dont ask us thousands of dollar. he is your brother. sharing is caring. this is what I always heard from a german friend, henning.

Comments like yours makes me so angry, you can't imagine. So basically you're saying South Koreans are selfish and only care about money, rather than freeing your family from a nightmare of human rights abuses and starvations? Unbelievable. So are you saying it will be OK if China takes over North Korea? If that happens, it's OK, right? Why shouldn't China take over if North Korea collapses? South Koreans have said it doesn't want North Korea. The South Korean leaders and experts are wrong. Germany pumped billions into social welfare and subsidies to East Germany, to make East Germany's income equal to West Germany. This is why it took so much money. South Korea doesn't have to try to raise North Korea's income level in a short time. They can take more time, and instead use North Korea to build up new industries and new infrastructure. South Korea doesn't even have to pay for it, because the world investors are going to be rushing into Korea to invest in a new country. North Korea has lots of raw materials which are un-mined, due to lack of technology. They can be mined and sold to pay for rebuilding North Korea. A united Korea can bring so much more tourism, and think of all that money saved for cutting down on military defence. A united Korea will also mean cheaper transport to China and Europe for South Korea. South Korean companies can now just send their finished goods via rail, instead of much more expensive ships and planes. I can think of so many benefits of a united Korea, oh my god... not to mention what a peaceful Korean peninsula will bring... how can you Koreans not see the bigger picture?
I am an American and I almost never think of North Korea. In my mind if someone mentions Korea I automatically assume they are referring to South Korea. In fact, we rarely use the phrase "South Korea" as in our collective minds the default is always South Korea. However, if someone wants to refer to North Korea they must say NORTH otherwise people will assume they are discussing South Korea. No, we don't assume South Korea is a dangerous country and the people are quacking in their boots over North Korean threats. We assume the North always makes threats.
They have limited knowledge. Korea must be reunified. It will make Korea stronger.
I'm surprised and saddened that when asked about reunification, the South Koreans seem to care only about "natural resources" and their own economy, when they should be caring about the North Koreans living in tyranny and how wonderful it would be for them to enjoy the freedom and opportunities that South Koreans have.
