@@50shadesofprada22 not even just the way they talk but that one girl is able to articulate her thoughts concisely. she makes a point clearly and simply. so many ppl just say shit
1:56 ??? The funniest shit about straight men saying this phrase (“I’m ok with u being gay as long as u don’t like me”) is that they don’t say that shit to their non-gay friends. Ex) yes, a gay friend MAY develop feelings for u, a straight man. But so can any other female friends that u have!! Do u go around to all ur female friends (that u don’t feel attracted to) and tell them “we can be friends as long as u don’t develop feelings for me”? The chance for a gay friend to have interest in u is the same for any other female friend u have. (yes, I’m talking about the female friends u think are “ugly” or not “girlfriend-material”). And most gay people will not tell their crush that they’re gay! (Unless they are doing a love confession. But if they only cameout to u as gay and didn’t confess their romantic feelings to u, it means they’re not interested in u).
Totally agree with this. Saying that you are "accepting" of the LGBTQ "as long as it's not done to you (me)" is backhanded tolerance. I hate to point out that that very reaction is its own a form of subverted homophobia that is rather self-centered than empathetic of the (LGBTQ) person who mustered the courage to confess. The irony of allowing our LGBTQ friends "to be who they are" as long as they stay on their lane is not acceptance but sugar-coated, unverbalized apathy and repulsion against them, no matter how subtle or passive.
@@gabtorres4042so what do you want them to say🤦♀️, at this point everyone who is not gay should just avoid you guys both as friends or whatever, you guys make everything so complicated and stifling. Do you even care about how others feel, life is not all about you, if they don’t like it, they don’t, leave people tf alone
I think what the guy is saying to come out to a str guy like him who has been a friend is one thing, but to confess your crush or love on him is another which someone may feel weird and may change the dynamics of the friendship all together. This feeling is the same even for a long time friend of the opposite sex. No matter how much you tried to be nice about rejecting it, it may be awkward after that. That's why most long time friends, whether the person saying it is straight or otherwise, they keep it to themselves for fear of not damaging the easy and good friendship they already shared.
If your a straight person and someone of the same sex confess that they like you just be nice and even thank them because it probably took them a lot of courage to confess to you.
No. I will avoid them . Just thinking is making me weird. It will affect me mentally and even scar me. Because this LGBTQ is a relatively new thing for many of us. I can't even think about this scenario. Sorry.
The two women speaking English i really liked the views they had. I found all them to be pretty open and supportive. My husband and I are coming in sept to celebrate our 26th anniversary. We are excited to see the country for the first time and have been a little nervous about how gays are treated. However, we do not hide we are a gay couple because i think it is important for other people to see we are just like any other couple. We also want to support the gay community there and be a good example to someone who is gay and closeted. Any recommendations for dining or special things to see we would be grateful.

Dude - You're an excellent interviewer! I've watched many of your videos and your questions are well articulated. You allow the person you're interviewing to speak..
That's why i just subscribed. He seems to be listening, not interrupting even with the body language, and the questions come out within the topic the person is talking about ....
Honestly, straight people who say “I’m okay with gay people as long as they don’t fall for me” sound so wrong to me- reaching homophobia. If you’re okay with gays then it means you’re open minded as to let them confess and be themselves without limiting what they say or do in front of you. If the same sex person confessed to me I’d feel good and thankful since love confessions means that I’m charming to the other person. If not reciprocated then just reject them like you would for any other straight individual/friend. It’s not a difficult concept.
I have to disagree. Regardless the gender, a friend's confession can totally change the dynamic of a friendship. Because you know this person you considered like a bro/sis is conscious because of you. And so do you, since you appreciate them but keeping wonder if whanaver action you make is sending a wrong signal to them... So basically, the idea behind this sentence doesn't shock me, maybe more the lack of tact since that's supposed to be logic even with girls as a straight guy, so no need to really emphasize this.
@@AdelCh44 I know what you mean and I am not homophobic but if a same sex friend confessed to me, I would be in shock and it would affect our friendship greatly. Even if it were an opposite sex friend that you considered just a friend, it would affect you and the friendship too. Once a friend crosses the border of regular friendship and goes romantic, everything changes.
@@AdelCh44 Yes and I am a girl by the way. I have all female friends and only had one close guy friend. It is hard for me to be close friends with the opposite gender.
Hi, I'm gay. Look, this sounds a bit narcissistic. Not everyone would perceive the message the way you do, EVEN if you mean well. If someone feels uncomfortable, then best they do is to be polite and just say "thanks" and move on. We aren't entitled to say whatever we want to people. Individuals are different.
Honestly I’ve been in Seoul for about a year now and the number of couples that you find showing pda is outstanding. I couldn’t even imagine seeing a couple do that and not feel sad about you not being able to do it in public. Moreover, as an observation I’ve also realized that the only thing keeping lgbtq couples from pda are the looks they might get and possibly kicked from a few restaurants. I’d like to think that Korea is on a turning point where the older generation might not like these ideals but due to Korea having one of the largest elderly population in the world the reign is bound to end soon
Yah God forbid south Korea goes down the same path of degeneracy that the USA has gone down to. You make it seem like having elders is bad thing when they come from a culture that procreate life. All this left degeneracy caused depopulation
Sounds like the perfect recipe for disaster. As you say the elder population is huge and the population is about to collapse, having more people not having children will be the nail in the coffin. RIP to korean culture lol
I went to school in Sydney for a year and the majority of the students at that school were Korean. I had 2 Korean friends that I was close to. I never brought up that I'm gay at all but I could feel like deep down they knew that I am and that I was too afraid to tell them. They tried to pry it out of me a few times by asking questions and whatnot. One time they asked me about my dating life when I was drunk, but I guess I was strong-willed enough not to let it slip bc I didn't wanna lose them as a friend.
Well, they are your friends. You should tell them, and if they are true friends, they would recommend therapy or going to see a doctor, etc. to get you back to being straight
That must of been really hard and scary, but do sure if they really cared about you they’d be okay with it but it’s YOUR DECISION you should tell them when YOU are ready! I promise you that there are people out there that will give you the unconditionally love you very much deserve
A follow-up question I wanted to hear was - “Are you openly supportive of the community and do you think that your friends know that they can come out to you?”
Glad they are getting better in this aspect but hope they change their xenophobia issues along with the bullying issues and other social issues too. It will just take time. I don’t think it is harder to change as you age. In many cases, it takes more time when you get older so it can change.
Interesting take as usual, but also very different from what I heard on other podcasts where (gay) Koreans stated that Koreans think that lgbtq doesn't exist in Korea and is just something from the West,like they literally denied the existence of gay Koreans.
in Korea there are many LGBT, especially lesbian/bisexual/pansex ..I know a lot about Korean sapphic girls on Twitter there are many, have a community, they are all beautiful..Creating a Twitter account for followers must be girls, mutuality must be between girls, showing photos..There are big accounts, the followers are sapphic girls, they are all beautiful..I know the keywords they often use to find friends with fellow sapphic girls..I have a Korean friend who is also a sapphic girl from there..For Chinese/Taiwanese girls there are even more on Twitter, the majority I see are all girls with beautiful faces, slim bodies, liking beautiful women, making friends with women and men is prohibited....I think that most of them are sapphic Chinese girls who are prettier than Korean sapphic girls, because many of them have faces like celebrities, even prettier, I'm amazed .And also happy, MANY BEAUTIFUL GIRL like girls ..I swear I was astonished and very impressed by how beautiful they were... do you know Irene Red Velvet? Their beauty is as class as Irene Red Velvet, perfect face,..Symmetrical face, small face, wide eyes, double eyelids, sharp/tall nose, thin/some lips are a bit full, AND OF COURSE, THE BODY SHAPE is the dream of all women, BODY GOALS for girls, slim
But when they want to be friends with them, they are a bit picky, if you are beautiful, many ask to be friends with you, because they have to post our photos, see each other's photos
I think those people just don't personally know anyone in the community snd have assumed everyone else doesn't. or perhaps are older. many many young people in korea are aware of lgbt people and quite a few are even accepting.
@@wlee8989don’t think you understand women at all, a woman can find another female very attractive but not sexually, do you know how many groups women join, send pictures to each other sexy ones but it’s not sexual, that means if you see the pictures I and my friends send to each other, you would think we’re lesbians, I used to follow only female celebrities gorgeous ones but I have never wanted to sleep with them
Thé interview person, I LOVE your voice! You were so professional, calm, and collected and caring when you spoke. Thank you for being a kind interviewer. I absolutely LOVED your voice! It was so soothing! Thank you!
I just found your channel recently and have been binge watching your videos. Dude I love your vibe and the questions you ask. You are doing a great job on using follow up questions!
Thank you for this video. I’m #LGBTQ, work in law enforcement and am Korean American. So interesting to hear the younger generation and their thoughts on community. Would love to connect with you on how government agencies interact with LGBTQ populations in Korea.
We should respect everyone. My problem is pushing this to kids and minority pop pushing their ideologies to the major pop. Yeah live as you want and have your communities and rights. Just don't push it on the major pop and children. Liberals have used LGBTq to push degeneracy when there is already respect and rights for the LGBTQ

한국에서 성소수자가 받아들여지지 않는 문제는, 정확히 말하면 세대 차이가 본질이 아니라고 생각합니다. 본질은, 종교 권력이 발휘하는 영향력이에요.. 한국의 보수 개신교 세력은 아주 아주 아주 강합니다. 그들은 성소수자들을 철저하게 인정하지 않고 박해하지요. Anti discrimination law 가 한국에서 만들어지지 못하는 이유도, 그 개신교 세력 때문입니다..
That's an interesting assumption .. really?! I kind of thought the Korean society favors confucian teachings and buddhism as religion, not true? I read in the general press that quite a few christian (pseudo)religions are indeed represented in your country but it's kind of hard to imagine that any western religion, protestantism in particular as you mention on here, would have such a strong grip and what more in politics. So why would any christian religion play any role whatsoever in the Korean social makeup, I wonder ... Korea was not colonized by the West, was it.. nor has it been under American influence for that long ..
@@tymeamora It's long to explain, but maybe Christianity is more political than Buddhism in Korea. When Korea was colonized by Japan, it was Christians(there were pastors, nuns, missionaries from the west who came to evangelize) who tried to tell the world the truth of Korean discrimination and massacre by avoiding Japanese surveillance. They also supported Korean independence activists. It was a time when Christians were a minority, but that's why the religion of Korean independence activists is often Christian. Think about how amazing the Bible's Exodus came to Koreans at that time. The Christian god was the god who freed the people who believed in him from slavery. And the people who actually preached the religion took care of orphans and widows, as the Bible says. During the Joseon Dynasty, Catholicism was just a Western philosophy, but Christianity was trusted as a 'just religion' throughout the colonial period. And once again in the dictatorship, Christianity supported Korea's democratic martyrs and contributed to spreading the truth of Korea under the supervision of the dictatorship. Therefore, Christianity is very political in Korea. However, Christian fundamentalism and Confucianism combined to establish a fairly conservative Christian tendency compared to Europe. Think of the very conservative Southern Bible Belt.
@@roar5853 I appreciate your explanation, thanks. Japanese occupation and its aftermath did not actually occur to me, nor would I imagine that's how the western missionaries made their way into Korea (and in Japan itself Christianity doesn't seem to have much relevance, does it?). I can see they were hands on both socially and politically as you're mentioning it. So would you say the LGBT hasn't yet been socially/politically aknowledged in Korea out of religious consciousness? Did Cristian teachings get ingrained so deep in Korean awareness in such a short period of time? I mean, in Europe the initial rejection of homosexuality had been the natural reaction of 2000 years of Christian canons including its promises of eternal doom and purgatory .. Europe has not forgotten the horrors the churches brought upon their people historically in the name of Christ, so when state and church had been finally separated and most European societies became more or less secularized, LGBT has been readily aknowledged as human rights. As a western European I can tell that the vast majority of people, here and now, are really truly not interested in the others' very personal life choices (like who you choose to love, why you're not married or choose not to have children, etc). As I see it, Europeans have learned pretty quickly what's in their own best interests and social hypocrisy was deemed to be detrimental for the greater good. Your comparison about the Southern Bible Belt is rather evocative .. sort of scary nonetheless..
@@tymeamora 설명하기가 어렵네요.. 한가지 말씀드리고 싶은 것은 한국에서의 Catholic, Protestant의 행동 양상의 차이점입니다. 한국 카톨릭은 유럽의 카톨릭과 마찬가지로, 오래된 관념에서 함부로 벗어나기 조심스럽지만, 분명히 성소수자들에 대한 인간적인 존중, 화합을 이루려고 노력하고 있고 이성적인 태도를 가진 채 변화를 받아들이고 있다고 보입니다. 하지만 한국의 개신교는, 애초에 서구의 개신교와는 그 탄생 양상도 현재의 존재 의의도 아주아주 다릅니다. 한국의 가장 부유한 지역에 있는 아주 아주 큰 교회들은, 대부분 사이비 종교에 가깝게 타락한 곳이 많고, 사람들의 맹목적 신앙 혹은 위선을 위한 수단으로서의 신앙을 통해 아주 거대한 돈과 권력을 주무릅니다. 그들이 가진 파워가 성소수자들에 대한 박해로 이어지구요. 또한 애초에 한국 개신교는 기존의 유교와 무속 기복 신앙이 결합되어 만들어졌기 때문에, 또 교육을 많이 받지 못한 지난 시대의 한국에서 그 시대 사람들의 욕구와 사고능력 수준에 맞춰 만들어진 것이기 때문에, 이성과 합리가 통하지 않고 맹목적입니다 그 신앙을 통해 돈을 버는 사람들이 타락한 경우가 아주 많구요.. 아직도, 한국의 지하철에서는 예수를 믿지 않으면 지옥에 간다는 플랜카드를 목에 걸은 채로 낯선 사람에게 교회에 무조건 나오라고 요구하는 사람이 존재하고, 한국 교회에서는 아주 큰 십자가 앞에서 기타를 치고 노래를 부르는 목회자 앞에서 신도들이 눈물을 흘리며 큰 소리로 기도하는 모습이 흔합니다. 유럽에선 상상도 못할 장면이죠. 그들이 그 맹목적인 사고방식을 통해 차별금지법을 막고 성소수자들을 악마화합니다. 정치권에서도 그들이 가진 영향력은 큽니다. 그래서 성소수자들에 대한 일반 시민들의 인식이 세대가 달라짐에 따라 나아져도, 정치권과 관료들, 사법계에서는 변화를 보이지 않습니다 물론 그것은 성소수자에 관해서 뿐 아니라 한국의 거의 모든 사회문화적 요소들의 발전이 부족한 원인이구요. 힘을 가진 자들이 자신들의 이익을 위해 올바른 시대의 변화를 용납하지 않고, 그래서 발전이 너무 부족하고 인간존중의 나라가 아닌 일부 사람들만을 위한 나라라서, 한국이 세계에서 최고로 출산율이 낮은 것입니다.. 한국의 일반 시민들은 갈수록 종교 자체에 대해 냉소적이고 거부감이 커지지만, 정치권, 경제계에 큰 영향력을 미치는 종교인들은 변화를 받아들이지 않아요..

He didn't say anything wrong with that. It's the same as a lesbian girl would state "I have no problem with men in general but them approaching me with something intimate in mind makes me uncomfortable".
@@daniborcsi5520 a lesbian saying that vs a straight cis man saying that are two whole completely different things... lesbians say it because of the obvious, men will never stop approaching them regardless of what they say about their sexual orientation or because they're women and regardless of your sexuality they never stop no matter how much you refuse.. period... men who say that are just straight up homophobic and fearful of something that doesn't/ hasn't happened to them, they think gay men will either hit on them or pounce on them which is a negative idealogy that's harmful because it creates this mentality that all gay men do is hit on every guy they see/find attractive which obviously isn't the case
Since Korea has only recently exploded economically, i think it will take time, like in every other society. Let's be honest, there is NO country that fully accepts diverse people, and if it took a long time there, it's reasonable to think that it'll also happen in south Korea, since it's already happening, it just needs its time
First of all, I’d like to say that you picked excellent questions. I’ve seen a few such videos and your questions genuinely left me saying “that’s a good one”. Second, as a gay person, I’m really happy to hear that things are changing, quite fast I must say, for the better in Korea. I remember just 5 years ago you’d get very different answers. I’m really happy to hear that, not for me only, but especially for all the gay people living in Korea 🤍
On another account, I've lived here in Korea for quite some time and I met a gay Korean friend. It both shocked, disappointed, and pained me to hear from him that he never had a single gay Korean friend himself and that none of his friends know that he is gay. Perhaps he thought that I'd be a safer person to come out to since I am a foreigner, and I appreciate his courage for opening up to me, past culture and language barriers. I think this experience is a good little vantage of Korea's general attitude toward the LGBTQ. I hope the change for the good continues!
@@gabtorres4042I’ve heard similar stories from other foreigners who went to Korea. I find it super sad for the gay Koreans living like that, I wouldn’t be able to. Ofc as foreigners we can’t completely understand what’s it like over there but many those foreigners have said that there seems to be a weird dynamic where the gay Koreans are extremely paranoid to come out when the foreigners themselves experienced little to no discrimination. I’ve hear that there’s Koreans who treat gay foreigners better than gay Koreans but I imagine it can’t be the majority. Tbh I myself feel, especially after hearing these stories and watching this interview, that bcz of the historical unacceptance of homosexuality in Korea many Koreans are too scared to come out even when the environment around them would otherwise be relatively safe or even supporting, resulting in less lgbt visibility (so many Koreans have said they’ve never had a gay friend) which just creates a feed back loop. Ofc I’m not saying they ought to come out, it’s their decision, it’s just what I’ve noticed. Thankfully despite this, there’s a lot of progress being done fast
I can tell that they’re really far from the unity. You see how some of them would treat them in ‘a special way’. Ok, that’s called sympathy but i think what the community needs out of their society is Empathy which means you just treat them as normal people and that, i think Koreans are really far from it. 😢
Not only Koreans many of us are not even sympathetic to these people. This is a relatively new thing for many of us. So when day when some group of people come and say we are..... then we should clap and say welcome. It will take long to even give some thinking to this.
"a friend of mine who is a lesbian but also liked men" ??? so she's not lesbian....😅 idk that was just kinda funny. maybe he didn't know the terminology.
It makes me sad and disappointed to know that there are still some koreans who (think they) have not met anyone who is LGBTQ, and even think of them as being 'different' somehow
Not the guy saying it's hard to reject them i mean trust me if you tell them sorry i'm straight they'll leave you alone lmao Also it's always weird seeing people talking about 'hanging out with same sex friends' like that lady said, because all of my friends are LGBT and I've never once been afraid that they'd try hooking up with me or something because they're just normal??? I wish people get educated about our communities around the world because it is really painful to see them having to hide from the world
Thankfully, if we looks at numbers... S.Korea is actually one of, if not the fastest growing in acceptance rate within the last 20 years towards the lgbtq community ( it actually doubled and has gone to to the 40%-tile )... and this was most likely greatly increased by an entire old gen passing and a new gen becoming the adults of modern day S.korea, so believe it or not ( Just like the woman said about china) Koreans are a lot more accepting than people would think... it's simply not discussed much and is in a way taboo, or keep it quiet type of topic.... but in general a good amount of them either accepting or simply don't mind the community at all, truely the only thing holding them back from progressing much further then what they are now is the remaining older gen ( whether it be in personally family households... work-wise... politics wise )
@@travis1271don’t say that. Just look at the state of feminism in Korea currently. Tho it’s an anomaly and I think it will go back to normal in the coming years, extremists exist everywhere. However, I’ve yet to meet a gay extremist, even online. In fact, what does a gay extremist look like? Do they say all straight people need to be locked up or that gay people are superior? Bcz asking for lgbt representation in schools and media if that’s what you mean is far from extremism. In fact it’s a vital part of solving homophobia and helping make gay people feel seen and accepted (coming from a gay person)
@@cesarrr4321 You can see the steady trajectory through pew research and comparison from a little over a decade ago, S.Korea is at the top of acceptance growth rate.... it was about mid 20% in mid/late 2000's.... fast forward 2020+ it's practically doubled... which considering the outside influence and rapid development/advancement within it's culture, along with an entire gen becoming adults and an older gen dying off... this huge growth in acceptance is rlly no shocker to anyone... I would not be surprised if in another 15 yrs legality of certain thing's will come to effect.

It is crazy to me that there are still countries where marriage isn't allowed for all sexes with any other sex. I just don't get it.

I agree, gay & lesbian people in china can even cross dress in the streets tho. I saw a lot in shanghai, sichuan & especially in chengdu. Also, there's lots of bl dramas in china that were so loved by the public, and lesbian celebrities like xin liu is liked by the Chinese.
The problem with China is that the public may be more accepting, but the government and social life isn’t. It’s the opposite of Korea. In Korea gay people have much more rights than in China
Everyone is Politically correct in front of a camera, let's instead have young people with no camera plus adults/elderly Koreans on LGBTQ+ (spoiler: 💀)
Better than Americans who literally yell fuck faggots on TV or commend lynching black people or Europeans who claim muslims are cancer, in other words no country is perfect. Don't try to criticize the ones that are trying to change.
well, you’re going to find homophobic people everywhere, especially the older generations. korea still has a long way to go with accepting the lgbt, but the younger generations are a lot more accepting. it’s just going to take a lot of time to see any societal change, and it’s going to be gradual not sudden (and pretty much every korean in the video said this as well). so i don’t think a lot of these people were lying for the camera if that’s what you’re insinuating
Just some days ago came the news that SK didn’t allow the pride parade on June and instead put a christian event … I’ve noticed that as a country it has discrimination not only for sexual minorities but also xenophobia towards SEA countries and black people. It can be ahead in some fields but it’s behind in their mentality and acceptance of others.
No, the two events just fit into the same time frame and since the government prioritizes events involving children they let the Christian group have that time + pride was allowed to happen later. I do think there is xenophobia against SEAs but black people... idk if you've looked at this person's interviews talking to black people living in Korea, but they are interesting. I don't think they are really widely disliked, perhaps they are even less disliked than in many parts of the west.
LGBTQ awareness and understanding is always going to be an issue and a struggle. (No matter what country you are in) As a member of this minority. I only ask if people to just leave me be and let me live my life how I want to live it. I don’t ask to change your lifestyle, therefore please don’t ask me to change mine.

8:468:48 I think parents should be the ones responsible in helping their children understand that there’s different type of families. Teach our children to accept people as how they are ( no to bully others) thats a parents responsibility. My parents taught me to treat others how I like to be treated. In the USA many teacher have taken to their hands to educate young children about their sexuality and that to me as a parent is a no, no. Kids can’t pray in school, (something we use to do before starting class )because not everyone had the same believes but people are finding the need to “educate” young children about their sexuality who they identify as ect. not everyone believes that’s their child’s teacher responsibility to do so. But this is looked at as parents not been accepting… Great interview as always!!!
More often than not, in the US at least, our families at home are very hostile towards LGBT+ and the only safe havens we have for advice is our school peers or teachers, so I disagree.
What parents should be teaching is respect for the Creator of this world who is against homosexuality. Period. Accepting wickedness is why the world is so corrupt and perverse today. We were not created to accept everything.
While korea has a lot of progress in this area. It's still far more progressive than the states where heteronormative people might say they dont care if I'm gay but as soon as I act "gay" or I hit on someone than I can killed or beaten for that.
Love the interview topic, but I think the interview location matters. Gangnam tends to be more conservative than Gangbuk. Also need to sample more people who don’t speak English to make sure you talk to people who aren’t as exposed to the western cultures.
That is quite a diplomatic take and view on it. Really cool. Back in my country(will not specify) if you are gay then it doesn't really matter but if you act sexually towards minors of the same sex then you get 14 - 15 years of prison. But even if you are trans or gay you will still get discriminated by the public but we are getting there to respecting and accepting.
i would hope that in most countries, any sexual act towards a minor (no matter their sex or gender) has a harsh punishment gay ≠ pedophile the first is very natural the second is a mental perversion that is punishable by law
@@rsdxxxx Agreed. But we should also be aware that social status such as adult, minor, child, etc are not objective terms but rather social constructs open to changes from culture to culture, time period to time period.
@@rsdxxxx I wasn't referring to the act, but the fact that it simply just having the attraction itself was enough for society to view you as deviant. In other words, until recent times, the attraction toward same sex and children - without anything more - were BOTH (generally) viewed as mental perversions. There are people who have never been attracted to any person older than twelve, same as how some people who have never been attracted to someone of the opposite sex. I kid you not, there are actually people who identify as non-practising paedophiles who advocate against the stigma attached to paedophiles because though they are sexually attracted to children, they have never hurt anyone or participated in the abuse or exploitation of kids. In view of the fact that there are people who though sexually attracted to children have chosen to live a life of abstinence (just like how some who are only attracted to their sex choose a life of celibacy), my question then is what would be your basis of deeming such a person - who, through no fault of his, is only attracted to children (being born that way) - mentally perverse, when he has never acted out his/her desires and thus the issue of non-consensual sex, manipulation or harming a child never arisen? Is it because the attraction to children is unnatural or would be accepting of such a person's desires as far as he/she is not (directly or indirectly) hurting any child? if you lean towards the former, how is this different from being attracted to the same sex? The reason society now embraces homosexuality is because you can't help you who you're attracted to? How is this different from a paedophile who can't help his desires - moreso when it is not translating to the abuse of any child?
Great video, thanks! We all as human beings have a free will and can choose our path in life… but we will realize the consequences of those choices. Choose wisely.
It's great to see responses have changed towards gay/bi cis people. But this is yet another video showing people don't know about the rest of the community. I would like to point out that it is a much more diverse population than people realize and yes, there are straight individuals in lgbt+. In future, I would like to see more awareness around trans, intersex, GNC, asexual members of the community. Goes to show how much less progress has been made for these subgroups.
In general poeple should just mind their business and let us be. Also all the 'striaght' folks that are against it or being nice to them in these comments, why are you here if it repulses you that much? 🤣🤣🤣 That's a bit sus!!
"Who is a lesbian but also liked men" xddd My dude really said what the f is a bisexual lmao Also I know it comes from a place of just ignorance but he really listed every stereotype that there's about the lgbt comminity in every single one of his answers lol
Lgtbq is a very sensitive topic . I can't imagine the struggle it's going to bring to our society in the next 5 years . All same sex should be comfortable around eachother not the other way round ,it's going to bring alot of confusion ,it can be very exhausting ......... but it is wat it is .
I mean as a Korean I’d say these people were fairly representative of the general public’s opinions on the community in Korea. Maybe they’d differ on a city-to-city basis - you’d probably find a bit more reluctance in rural areas though.
Some prople in this comment section give me headache, that phrase "as long as they dont do THAT to me..." Wth, can't people just be who they are, like you can be friends with anyone who gas feelings for you, a guy or a girl, without knowing it, but you can just regret a gay or bi guy if you are an straight man, the same way with a woman who isn't attractive to you, and the other one will have to just accept a heartbreak just as a HUMAN being he or she basically is, what are gay ppl for you? Don't tell me they are disgusting if they get close to you as a dog suddenly talking and telling you out of sudden they are in fk love with you?? (Of course, this case would ve actually wrong but Yeah, this is the same level of uncomfortableness some straight people might feel when their friend reveals them they're gay like: Pls dont fall in love with me, PLEASE DON'T GET CLOSE TO ME, PLEASE😢
good video and good questions!! but god do i hate when straight people say "as long as they (lgbtq) don't do it to me i'm fine" likeee lmao you think you're that irresistible?? 😭 if people of the opposite sex dont want you what makes you think those from the same sex would? anyway i'm trying really hard to understand but to me it's a very dumb thing to say so i just can't haha, sorry
Not agreeing with the LGBTQ movement does not mean that I am homophobic. Everyone has their own choices. As long as they are given the same respect as any other human being and they are not discriminated against, I do not see the problem. So people who talk about homophobia because people do not adhere to their ideals please stop. Everyone has their choices in life, everyone crosses what they want. Everyone has their culture everyone has their way of life. Let's just give each other mutual respect. People are not obliged to accept what you do so everyone must already understand this. I'm black and with racism and I don't care if someone loves me or not I just demand the respect that owed me that’s it.
The problem nowadays is that so many groups are becoming increasingly more tribalistic. Echo chambers form, unwarranted self-righteousness grows, dogma becomes spewed. Before long, they get so wrapped up in their soapbox that they start complaining about feigned sleights. Too many groups these days think they own exclusivity rights over activism. Over change. These people are delusional. Being opposed to a group suffering from tribalism does not mean you are against a particular cause. They're just too wrapped up in their own narrative to realize they can no longer see the forest from the trees and are unable to separate themselves from their own biases. The kind of change they speak of will impact generations. No such change can be enacted based of the fleeting emotions of biased people. It can only come after careful and thoughtful deliberation based on facts, logic, and reason. To do otherwise would be to be socially irresponsible.
@@adama8579 lol I’m minding my business but at some point it’s concerning everybody when it’s come to as they said educate our children in this way. I’m choosing to not do that and that’s my business too and nobody else business. Just teach to your children tolerance respect that’s all and nobody can come and tell me no do this no do that no! Like I said everybody doing whatever they want to do but you can’t obliged someone to agree with you I’m sorry ! You want respect? Alright . You want equally treatment? Alright. But why you absolutely want people to say yes we agree with the LGBTQ community? At some point it’s like a religion they want to impose. And even in religions they have religion diversity and everyone choosing their path and this is just an example.
@@cloviskabore2218 Yes, I think some aspects are degenerate. For ex, in America, they have parents attending drag shows and I've seen videos of these drag shows where they say things sexually explicit. Saying I think this is degenerate doesn't mean I'm against LGBTQ
This is a very dangerous ideology to stand by and I worry for your children you have in the future. You saying I won’t teach your children about LGBT+ is going to backfire on you. It’s fine like you said to not be LGBT+ since you are clearly a straight person, but let’s not pretend that we don’t EXIST. We’re here, and we’re queer.
Thank you for that video! Especially the two younger women said great things about educating from a young age that LGBTQIA+ is normal and found everywhere in the world :)

all they say is supporting gays, lesbians and people who born with the syndrome to be trans. but almost none talks bout that crappy pronouns, adjectives, 100+ genders and shit which the western world pushes to other countries. And thats what i respect, in staying here. I have gay and lesbian friends in korea as they say feeling masculine in a scale and feminine is temporary and it happens in everyone once or many, As here repeated "as a gay man I feel feminine towards people i like as a partner but still im masculine as im a man, i cant change that by putting some make up and wearing female clothes."
If the homeosexual and lesbian people want everyone to respect their opinion then they also should respect Christian and conservative people opinions also. But most organizations and the homosexuals and lesbians will not. Then news media will side with them and criticize the real conservative christians. I know because i see it here in America.
Unfortunately Korea is on the path of the west. Eventually facing the same problems. Im not against gays etc and everyone should get to live in peace without threat of violence etc but its not something that should be celebrated. Especially in a nation which has such low birth rates. Dont hate me ✌️
@@pinkiebeee2045 foreigners/immigrants who grow the birth dates doesnt help. Korea needs to say korean. There would not be korea if most of there would be lets say of european or african background. I think best that they could do is make it easier to young people start a family. Tax reduction based on amount of children, no shame in maternity/faternity leave, family loans which would have lower interest rate and lets say having 3 kids would remove the loan totally. Every country should put the wellbeing of their own people first!

The guy who said not to be a target makes me a little pissed. Because here in Poland 🇵🇱 I've had situation on the gay app. The Guy said to me: "I'm straight I have a Wife and Kids but I want to have sex with a Gay and I want to be your slave." And I never had a situation from me or my friends to even flirt with straight people.
just illness.. it's most of korean think that.. people just say it because they think it's cool to think that way, and don't know anything of reality. The one who said 'it doesn't matter olny when it doesn't affect you' is on point.
It is not just a Korean thing as many conservative Asians think that. My cousin here in the US is gay. My aunt goes around telling my relatives why her son has this illness… so sad..
And just as i watch this.. korea prohibited the community from having Pride out in the open next month. GREAT. UGH. Please do updates in a couple of years i wanna see how and if people change
in China there are very many, even easy to find, and also many beautiful girls who become sapphic women, they are really BEAUTIFUL, I am astonished and amazed by their beauty,I met many on Douyin, twitter

1:56 ??? The funniest shit about straight men saying this phrase (“I’m ok with u being gay as long as u don’t like me”) is that they don’t say that shit to their non-gay friends.
Ex) yes, a gay friend MAY develop feelings for u, a straight man. But so can any other female friends that u have!! Do u go around to all ur female friends (that u don’t feel attracted to) and tell them “we can be friends as long as u don’t develop feelings for me”?
The chance for a gay friend to have interest in u is the same for any other female friend u have. (yes, I’m talking about the female friends u think are “ugly” or not “girlfriend-material”).
And most gay people will not tell their crush that they’re gay! (Unless they are doing a love confession. But if they only cameout to u as gay and didn’t confess their romantic feelings to u, it means they’re not interested in u).
Yeah... because it is more uncomfortable
Totally agree with this. Saying that you are "accepting" of the LGBTQ "as long as it's not done to you (me)" is backhanded tolerance. I hate to point out that that very reaction is its own a form of subverted homophobia that is rather self-centered than empathetic of the (LGBTQ) person who mustered the courage to confess. The irony of allowing our LGBTQ friends "to be who they are" as long as they stay on their lane is not acceptance but sugar-coated, unverbalized apathy and repulsion against them, no matter how subtle or passive.
@@gabtorres4042so what do you want them to say🤦♀️, at this point everyone who is not gay should just avoid you guys both as friends or whatever, you guys make everything so complicated and stifling. Do you even care about how others feel, life is not all about you, if they don’t like it, they don’t, leave people tf alone
I think what the guy is saying to come out to a str guy like him who has been a friend is one thing, but to confess your crush or love on him is another which someone may feel weird and may change the dynamics of the friendship all together. This feeling is the same even for a long time friend of the opposite sex. No matter how much you tried to be nice about rejecting it, it may be awkward after that. That's why most long time friends, whether the person saying it is straight or otherwise, they keep it to themselves for fear of not damaging the easy and good friendship they already shared.
@@gabtorres4042 then dont be friends with staright people
If your a straight person and someone of the same sex confess that they like you just be nice and even thank them because it probably took them a lot of courage to confess to you.

Dude - You're an excellent interviewer! I've watched many of your videos and your questions are well articulated. You allow the person you're interviewing to speak..
That's why i just subscribed. He seems to be listening, not interrupting even with the body language, and the questions come out within the topic the person is talking about ....
Honestly, straight people who say “I’m okay with gay people as long as they don’t fall for me” sound so wrong to me- reaching homophobia. If you’re okay with gays then it means you’re open minded as to let them confess and be themselves without limiting what they say or do in front of you.
If the same sex person confessed to me I’d feel good and thankful since love confessions means that I’m charming to the other person. If not reciprocated then just reject them like you would for any other straight individual/friend.
It’s not a difficult concept.
I have to disagree. Regardless the gender, a friend's confession can totally change the dynamic of a friendship. Because you know this person you considered like a bro/sis is conscious because of you. And so do you, since you appreciate them but keeping wonder if whanaver action you make is sending a wrong signal to them...
So basically, the idea behind this sentence doesn't shock me, maybe more the lack of tact since that's supposed to be logic even with girls as a straight guy, so no need to really emphasize this.
@@AdelCh44 I know what you mean and I am not homophobic but if a same sex friend confessed to me, I would be in shock and it would affect our friendship greatly. Even if it were an opposite sex friend that you considered just a friend, it would affect you and the friendship too. Once a friend crosses the border of regular friendship and goes romantic, everything changes.
@@TrinhNguyen-sh4fj Yeah, that was exactly my point. We agree bro 🤣
@@AdelCh44 Yes and I am a girl by the way. I have all female friends and only had one close guy friend. It is hard for me to be close friends with the opposite gender.
Hi, I'm gay. Look, this sounds a bit narcissistic. Not everyone would perceive the message the way you do, EVEN if you mean well.
If someone feels uncomfortable, then best they do is to be polite and just say "thanks" and move on.
We aren't entitled to say whatever we want to people. Individuals are different.
Honestly I’ve been in Seoul for about a year now and the number of couples that you find showing pda is outstanding. I couldn’t even imagine seeing a couple do that and not feel sad about you not being able to do it in public. Moreover, as an observation I’ve also realized that the only thing keeping lgbtq couples from pda are the looks they might get and possibly kicked from a few restaurants.
I’d like to think that Korea is on a turning point where the older generation might not like these ideals but due to Korea having one of the largest elderly population in the world the reign is bound to end soon
Yah God forbid south Korea goes down the same path of degeneracy that the USA has gone down to. You make it seem like having elders is bad thing when they come from a culture that procreate life. All this left degeneracy caused depopulation
You folks are NOT going to ruin my country as you did to America
Sounds like the perfect recipe for disaster. As you say the elder population is huge and the population is about to collapse, having more people not having children will be the nail in the coffin. RIP to korean culture lol
I went to school in Sydney for a year and the majority of the students at that school were Korean. I had 2 Korean friends that I was close to. I never brought up that I'm gay at all but I could feel like deep down they knew that I am and that I was too afraid to tell them. They tried to pry it out of me a few times by asking questions and whatnot. One time they asked me about my dating life when I was drunk, but I guess I was strong-willed enough not to let it slip bc I didn't wanna lose them as a friend.
Don't be afraid fighting ❤️❤️❤️
Well, they are your friends. You should tell them, and if they are true friends, they would recommend therapy or going to see a doctor, etc. to get you back to being straight
That must of been really hard and scary, but do sure if they really cared about you they’d be okay with it but it’s YOUR DECISION you should tell them when YOU are ready! I promise you that there are people out there that will give you the unconditionally love you very much deserve

A follow-up question I wanted to hear was - “Are you openly supportive of the community and do you think that your friends know that they can come out to you?”
Glad they are getting better in this aspect but hope they change their xenophobia issues along with the bullying issues and other social issues too. It will just take time. I don’t think it is harder to change as you age. In many cases, it takes more time when you get older so it can change.
Interesting take as usual, but also very different from what I heard on other podcasts where (gay) Koreans stated that Koreans think that lgbtq doesn't exist in Korea and is just something from the West,like they literally denied the existence of gay Koreans.
Been there, It's either they know how to answer in front of camera or they don't realise how they treat lgbtq in there.
in Korea there are many LGBT, especially lesbian/bisexual/pansex ..I know a lot about Korean sapphic girls on Twitter there are many, have a community, they are all beautiful..Creating a Twitter account for followers must be girls, mutuality must be between girls, showing photos..There are big accounts, the followers are sapphic girls, they are all beautiful..I know the keywords they often use to find friends with fellow sapphic girls..I have a Korean friend who is also a sapphic girl from there..For Chinese/Taiwanese girls there are even more on Twitter, the majority I see are all girls with beautiful faces, slim bodies, liking beautiful women, making friends with women and men is prohibited....I think that most of them are sapphic Chinese girls who are prettier than Korean sapphic girls, because many of them have faces like celebrities, even prettier, I'm amazed .And also happy, MANY BEAUTIFUL GIRL like girls ..I swear I was astonished and very impressed by how beautiful they were... do you know Irene Red Velvet? Their beauty is as class as Irene Red Velvet, perfect face,..Symmetrical face, small face, wide eyes, double eyelids, sharp/tall nose, thin/some lips are a bit full, AND OF COURSE, THE BODY SHAPE is the dream of all women, BODY GOALS for girls, slim
But when they want to be friends with them, they are a bit picky, if you are beautiful, many ask to be friends with you, because they have to post our photos, see each other's photos
I think those people just don't personally know anyone in the community snd have assumed everyone else doesn't. or perhaps are older. many many young people in korea are aware of lgbt people and quite a few are even accepting.
@@wlee8989don’t think you understand women at all, a woman can find another female very attractive but not sexually, do you know how many groups women join, send pictures to each other sexy ones but it’s not sexual, that means if you see the pictures I and my friends send to each other, you would think we’re lesbians, I used to follow only female celebrities gorgeous ones but I have never wanted to sleep with them
Thé interview person, I LOVE your voice! You were so professional, calm, and collected and caring when you spoke. Thank you for being a kind interviewer. I absolutely LOVED your voice! It was so soothing! Thank you!
people really think they never met a queer person but you 100% have. you just didn't know.
I just found your channel recently and have been binge watching your videos. Dude I love your vibe and the questions you ask. You are doing a great job on using follow up questions!
Thank you for this video. I’m #LGBTQ, work in law enforcement and am Korean American. So interesting to hear the younger generation and their thoughts on community. Would love to connect with you on how government agencies interact with LGBTQ populations in Korea.
We should respect everyone. My problem is pushing this to kids and minority pop pushing their ideologies to the major pop. Yeah live as you want and have your communities and rights. Just don't push it on the major pop and children. Liberals have used LGBTq to push degeneracy when there is already respect and rights for the LGBTQ
Kindest regards to you.

한국에서 성소수자가 받아들여지지 않는 문제는, 정확히 말하면 세대 차이가 본질이 아니라고 생각합니다. 본질은, 종교 권력이 발휘하는 영향력이에요.. 한국의 보수 개신교 세력은 아주 아주 아주 강합니다. 그들은 성소수자들을 철저하게 인정하지 않고 박해하지요. Anti discrimination law 가 한국에서 만들어지지 못하는 이유도, 그 개신교 세력 때문입니다..
That's an interesting assumption .. really?! I kind of thought the Korean society favors confucian teachings and buddhism as religion, not true? I read in the general press that quite a few christian (pseudo)religions are indeed represented in your country but it's kind of hard to imagine that any western religion, protestantism in particular as you mention on here, would have such a strong grip and what more in politics. So why would any christian religion play any role whatsoever in the Korean social makeup, I wonder ... Korea was not colonized by the West, was it.. nor has it been under American influence for that long ..
@@tymeamora It's long to explain, but maybe Christianity is more political than Buddhism in Korea. When Korea was colonized by Japan, it was Christians(there were pastors, nuns, missionaries from the west who came to evangelize) who tried to tell the world the truth of Korean discrimination and massacre by avoiding Japanese surveillance. They also supported Korean independence activists. It was a time when Christians were a minority, but that's why the religion of Korean independence activists is often Christian. Think about how amazing the Bible's Exodus came to Koreans at that time. The Christian god was the god who freed the people who believed in him from slavery. And the people who actually preached the religion took care of orphans and widows, as the Bible says. During the Joseon Dynasty, Catholicism was just a Western philosophy, but Christianity was trusted as a 'just religion' throughout the colonial period. And once again in the dictatorship, Christianity supported Korea's democratic martyrs and contributed to spreading the truth of Korea under the supervision of the dictatorship. Therefore, Christianity is very political in Korea. However, Christian fundamentalism and Confucianism combined to establish a fairly conservative Christian tendency compared to Europe. Think of the very conservative Southern Bible Belt.
@@roar5853 I appreciate your explanation, thanks. Japanese occupation and its aftermath did not actually occur to me, nor would I imagine that's how the western missionaries made their way into Korea (and in Japan itself Christianity doesn't seem to have much relevance, does it?). I can see they were hands on both socially and politically as you're mentioning it. So would you say the LGBT hasn't yet been socially/politically aknowledged in Korea out of religious consciousness? Did Cristian teachings get ingrained so deep in Korean awareness in such a short period of time? I mean, in Europe the initial rejection of homosexuality had been the natural reaction of 2000 years of Christian canons including its promises of eternal doom and purgatory .. Europe has not forgotten the horrors the churches brought upon their people historically in the name of Christ, so when state and church had been finally separated and most European societies became more or less secularized, LGBT has been readily aknowledged as human rights. As a western European I can tell that the vast majority of people, here and now, are really truly not interested in the others' very personal life choices (like who you choose to love, why you're not married or choose not to have children, etc). As I see it, Europeans have learned pretty quickly what's in their own best interests and social hypocrisy was deemed to be detrimental for the greater good.
Your comparison about the Southern Bible Belt is rather evocative .. sort of scary nonetheless..
@@tymeamora 설명하기가 어렵네요.. 한가지 말씀드리고 싶은 것은 한국에서의 Catholic, Protestant의 행동 양상의 차이점입니다. 한국 카톨릭은 유럽의 카톨릭과 마찬가지로, 오래된 관념에서 함부로 벗어나기 조심스럽지만, 분명히 성소수자들에 대한 인간적인 존중, 화합을 이루려고 노력하고 있고 이성적인 태도를 가진 채 변화를 받아들이고 있다고 보입니다. 하지만 한국의 개신교는, 애초에 서구의 개신교와는 그 탄생 양상도 현재의 존재 의의도 아주아주 다릅니다. 한국의 가장 부유한 지역에 있는 아주 아주 큰 교회들은, 대부분 사이비 종교에 가깝게 타락한 곳이 많고, 사람들의 맹목적 신앙 혹은 위선을 위한 수단으로서의 신앙을 통해 아주 거대한 돈과 권력을 주무릅니다. 그들이 가진 파워가 성소수자들에 대한 박해로 이어지구요. 또한 애초에 한국 개신교는 기존의 유교와 무속 기복 신앙이 결합되어 만들어졌기 때문에, 또 교육을 많이 받지 못한 지난 시대의 한국에서 그 시대 사람들의 욕구와 사고능력 수준에 맞춰 만들어진 것이기 때문에, 이성과 합리가 통하지 않고 맹목적입니다 그 신앙을 통해 돈을 버는 사람들이 타락한 경우가 아주 많구요.. 아직도, 한국의 지하철에서는 예수를 믿지 않으면 지옥에 간다는 플랜카드를 목에 걸은 채로 낯선 사람에게 교회에 무조건 나오라고 요구하는 사람이 존재하고, 한국 교회에서는 아주 큰 십자가 앞에서 기타를 치고 노래를 부르는 목회자 앞에서 신도들이 눈물을 흘리며 큰 소리로 기도하는 모습이 흔합니다. 유럽에선 상상도 못할 장면이죠. 그들이 그 맹목적인 사고방식을 통해 차별금지법을 막고 성소수자들을 악마화합니다. 정치권에서도 그들이 가진 영향력은 큽니다. 그래서 성소수자들에 대한 일반 시민들의 인식이 세대가 달라짐에 따라 나아져도, 정치권과 관료들, 사법계에서는 변화를 보이지 않습니다 물론 그것은 성소수자에 관해서 뿐 아니라 한국의 거의 모든 사회문화적 요소들의 발전이 부족한 원인이구요. 힘을 가진 자들이 자신들의 이익을 위해 올바른 시대의 변화를 용납하지 않고, 그래서 발전이 너무 부족하고 인간존중의 나라가 아닌 일부 사람들만을 위한 나라라서, 한국이 세계에서 최고로 출산율이 낮은 것입니다.. 한국의 일반 시민들은 갈수록 종교 자체에 대해 냉소적이고 거부감이 커지지만, 정치권, 경제계에 큰 영향력을 미치는 종교인들은 변화를 받아들이지 않아요..

Since Korea has only recently exploded economically, i think it will take time, like in every other society. Let's be honest, there is NO country that fully accepts diverse people, and if it took a long time there, it's reasonable to think that it'll also happen in south Korea, since it's already happening, it just needs its time
Thank you for your interviews! They’re very informative and you are a wonderful interviewer
First of all, I’d like to say that you picked excellent questions. I’ve seen a few such videos and your questions genuinely left me saying “that’s a good one”. Second, as a gay person, I’m really happy to hear that things are changing, quite fast I must say, for the better in Korea. I remember just 5 years ago you’d get very different answers. I’m really happy to hear that, not for me only, but especially for all the gay people living in Korea 🤍
On another account, I've lived here in Korea for quite some time and I met a gay Korean friend. It both shocked, disappointed, and pained me to hear from him that he never had a single gay Korean friend himself and that none of his friends know that he is gay. Perhaps he thought that I'd be a safer person to come out to since I am a foreigner, and I appreciate his courage for opening up to me, past culture and language barriers.
I think this experience is a good little vantage of Korea's general attitude toward the LGBTQ. I hope the change for the good continues!
@@gabtorres4042I’ve heard similar stories from other foreigners who went to Korea. I find it super sad for the gay Koreans living like that, I wouldn’t be able to. Ofc as foreigners we can’t completely understand what’s it like over there but many those foreigners have said that there seems to be a weird dynamic where the gay Koreans are extremely paranoid to come out when the foreigners themselves experienced little to no discrimination. I’ve hear that there’s Koreans who treat gay foreigners better than gay Koreans but I imagine it can’t be the majority. Tbh I myself feel, especially after hearing these stories and watching this interview, that bcz of the historical unacceptance of homosexuality in Korea many Koreans are too scared to come out even when the environment around them would otherwise be relatively safe or even supporting, resulting in less lgbt visibility (so many Koreans have said they’ve never had a gay friend) which just creates a feed back loop. Ofc I’m not saying they ought to come out, it’s their decision, it’s just what I’ve noticed. Thankfully despite this, there’s a lot of progress being done fast
@@georgeoust Although I have a few Korean friends, strangely, I also feel quite awkward to talk to them openly about myself.

I can tell that they’re really far from the unity. You see how some of them would treat them in ‘a special way’. Ok, that’s called sympathy but i think what the community needs out of their society is Empathy which means you just treat them as normal people and that, i think Koreans are really far from it. 😢

Thankfully, if we looks at numbers... S.Korea is actually one of, if not the fastest growing in acceptance rate within the last 20 years towards the lgbtq community ( it actually doubled and has gone to to the 40%-tile )... and this was most likely greatly increased by an entire old gen passing and a new gen becoming the adults of modern day S.korea, so believe it or not ( Just like the woman said about china) Koreans are a lot more accepting than people would think... it's simply not discussed much and is in a way taboo, or keep it quiet type of topic.... but in general a good amount of them either accepting or simply don't mind the community at all, truely the only thing holding them back from progressing much further then what they are now is the remaining older gen ( whether it be in personally family households... work-wise... politics wise )
yeah it's prob cuz in asia there is very few radicals who try speak for for all people
@@travis1271don’t say that. Just look at the state of feminism in Korea currently. Tho it’s an anomaly and I think it will go back to normal in the coming years, extremists exist everywhere. However, I’ve yet to meet a gay extremist, even online. In fact, what does a gay extremist look like? Do they say all straight people need to be locked up or that gay people are superior? Bcz asking for lgbt representation in schools and media if that’s what you mean is far from extremism. In fact it’s a vital part of solving homophobia and helping make gay people feel seen and accepted (coming from a gay person)
what is your source for the data you used?
@@cesarrr4321 You can see the steady trajectory through pew research and comparison from a little over a decade ago, S.Korea is at the top of acceptance growth rate.... it was about mid 20% in mid/late 2000's.... fast forward 2020+ it's practically doubled... which considering the outside influence and rapid development/advancement within it's culture, along with an entire gen becoming adults and an older gen dying off... this huge growth in acceptance is rlly no shocker to anyone...

People are people, preventing people from being happy together is sad and unfair. Korea has come so far and I hope in time happiness will be legal for all eventually.

I agree, gay & lesbian people in china can even cross dress in the streets tho. I saw a lot in shanghai, sichuan & especially in chengdu. Also, there's lots of bl dramas in china that were so loved by the public, and lesbian celebrities like xin liu is liked by the Chinese.
@@nightparalysiscatdemon As I know, Chinese government has banned BL shows and all feminine male celebrities

well, you’re going to find homophobic people everywhere, especially the older generations. korea still has a long way to go with accepting the lgbt, but the younger generations are a lot more accepting. it’s just going to take a lot of time to see any societal change, and it’s going to be gradual not sudden (and pretty much every korean in the video said this as well). so i don’t think a lot of these people were lying for the camera if that’s what you’re insinuating

Just some days ago came the news that SK didn’t allow the pride parade on June and instead put a christian event …
I’ve noticed that as a country it has discrimination not only for sexual minorities but also xenophobia towards SEA countries and black people. It can be ahead in some fields but it’s behind in their mentality and acceptance of others.
Probably because they're on the brink of population collapse.. and encouraging homosexuality will hasten that collapse? I don't know... just a guess?
No, the two events just fit into the same time frame and since the government prioritizes events involving children they let the Christian group have that time + pride was allowed to happen later.
I do think there is xenophobia against SEAs but black people... idk if you've looked at this person's interviews talking to black people living in Korea, but they are interesting. I don't think they are really widely disliked, perhaps they are even less disliked than in many parts of the west.

That is quite a diplomatic take and view on it. Really cool. Back in my country(will not specify) if you are gay then it doesn't really matter but if you act sexually towards minors of the same sex then you get 14 - 15 years of prison. But even if you are trans or gay you will still get discriminated by the public but we are getting there to respecting and accepting.
i would hope that in most countries, any sexual act towards a minor (no matter their sex or gender) has a harsh punishment
gay ≠ pedophile
the first is very natural
the second is a mental perversion that is punishable by law
@@rsdxxxx the first was also a considered a mental perversion until fairly recently.
@Foodie.Mommie sexual acts done between consenting adults is very different to acts done through manipulation and abuse of minors.
@@rsdxxxx Agreed. But we should also be aware that social status such as adult, minor, child, etc are not objective terms but rather social constructs open to changes from culture to culture, time period to time period.
@@rsdxxxx I wasn't referring to the act, but the fact that it simply just having the attraction itself was enough for society to view you as deviant. In other words, until recent times, the attraction toward same sex and children - without anything more - were BOTH (generally) viewed as mental perversions. There are people who have never been attracted to any person older than twelve, same as how some people who have never been attracted to someone of the opposite sex. I kid you not, there are actually people who identify as non-practising paedophiles who advocate against the stigma attached to paedophiles because though they are sexually attracted to children, they have never hurt anyone or participated in the abuse or exploitation of kids.
In view of the fact that there are people who though sexually attracted to children have chosen to live a life of abstinence (just like how some who are only attracted to their sex choose a life of celibacy), my question then is what would be your basis of deeming such a person - who, through no fault of his, is only attracted to children (being born that way) - mentally perverse, when he has never acted out his/her desires and thus the issue of non-consensual sex, manipulation or harming a child never arisen? Is it because the attraction to children is unnatural or would be accepting of such a person's desires as far as he/she is not (directly or indirectly) hurting any child? if you lean towards the former, how is this different from being attracted to the same sex? The reason society now embraces homosexuality is because you can't help you who you're attracted to? How is this different from a paedophile who can't help his desires - moreso when it is not translating to the abuse of any child?

It's great to see responses have changed towards gay/bi cis people. But this is yet another video showing people don't know about the rest of the community.

"Who is a lesbian but also liked men" xddd My dude really said what the f is a bisexual lmao Also I know it comes from a place of just ignorance but he really listed every stereotype that there's about the lgbt comminity in every single one of his answers lol
Lgtbq is a very sensitive topic . I can't imagine the struggle it's going to bring to our society in the next 5 years . All same sex should be comfortable around eachother not the other way round ,it's going to bring alot of confusion ,it can be very exhausting
.........
but it is wat it is .
I don’t think it should be a sensitive topic but sadly it is.
😂 okay .. seeing that it’s on camera… you can literally see them struggle being honest…
Everyone has been doing that these days with the increase of cancel culture.
@@likhwezititus true. I live in Japan, and even normal citizens get canceled here
@@lilliancastillo8579so how are people supposed to genuinely like them if they’re scared of them, it only makes the hatred for them grow
I mean as a Korean I’d say these people were fairly representative of the general public’s opinions on the community in Korea. Maybe they’d differ on a city-to-city basis - you’d probably find a bit more reluctance in rural areas though.
Some prople in this comment section give me headache, that phrase "as long as they dont do THAT to me..." Wth, can't people just be who they are, like you can be friends with anyone who gas feelings for you, a guy or a girl, without knowing it, but you can just regret a gay or bi guy if you are an straight man, the same way with a woman who isn't attractive to you, and the other one will have to just accept a heartbreak just as a HUMAN being he or she basically is, what are gay ppl for you? Don't tell me they are disgusting if they get close to you as a dog suddenly talking and telling you out of sudden they are in fk love with you?? (Of course, this case would ve actually wrong but Yeah, this is the same level of uncomfortableness some straight people might feel when their friend reveals them they're gay like: Pls dont fall in love with me, PLEASE DON'T GET CLOSE TO ME, PLEASE😢
good video and good questions!! but god do i hate when straight people say "as long as they (lgbtq) don't do it to me i'm fine" likeee lmao you think you're that irresistible?? 😭 if people of the opposite sex dont want you what makes you think those from the same sex would? anyway i'm trying really hard to understand but to me it's a very dumb thing to say so i just can't haha, sorry
All of them are BL series fan 😃❤️❤️
👍👍👍
6:28 the real Logan Lee. Not hating though.
They know how to answer in front of camera.
Not agreeing with the LGBTQ movement does not mean that I am homophobic. Everyone has their own choices. As long as they are given the same respect as any other human being and they are not discriminated against, I do not see the problem. So people who talk about homophobia because people do not adhere to their ideals please stop. Everyone has their choices in life, everyone crosses what they want. Everyone has their culture everyone has their way of life. Let's just give each other mutual respect. People are not obliged to accept what you do so everyone must already understand this. I'm black and with racism and I don't care if someone loves me or not I just demand the respect that owed me that’s it.
The problem nowadays is that so many groups are becoming increasingly more tribalistic. Echo chambers form, unwarranted self-righteousness grows, dogma becomes spewed. Before long, they get so wrapped up in their soapbox that they start complaining about feigned sleights.
Too many groups these days think they own exclusivity rights over activism. Over change. These people are delusional. Being opposed to a group suffering from tribalism does not mean you are against a particular cause. They're just too wrapped up in their own narrative to realize they can no longer see the forest from the trees and are unable to separate themselves from their own biases.
The kind of change they speak of will impact generations. No such change can be enacted based of the fleeting emotions of biased people. It can only come after careful and thoughtful deliberation based on facts, logic, and reason. To do otherwise would be to be socially irresponsible.
minding your business is all it takes to avoid being called homophobic...
@@adama8579 lol I’m minding my business but at some point it’s concerning everybody when it’s come to as they said educate our children in this way. I’m choosing to not do that and that’s my business too and nobody else business. Just teach to your children tolerance respect that’s all and nobody can come and tell me no do this no do that no! Like I said everybody doing whatever they want to do but you can’t obliged someone to agree with you I’m sorry ! You want respect? Alright . You want equally treatment? Alright. But why you absolutely want people to say yes we agree with the LGBTQ community? At some point it’s like a religion they want to impose. And even in religions they have religion diversity and everyone choosing their path and this is just an example.
@@cloviskabore2218 Yes, I think some aspects are degenerate. For ex, in America, they have parents attending drag shows and I've seen videos of these drag shows where they say things sexually explicit. Saying I think this is degenerate doesn't mean I'm against LGBTQ
This is a very dangerous ideology to stand by and I worry for your children you have in the future. You saying I won’t teach your children about LGBT+ is going to backfire on you. It’s fine like you said to not be LGBT+ since you are clearly a straight person, but let’s not pretend that we don’t EXIST. We’re here, and we’re queer.
"haven't met a sexual minority" girl, yes you have.
U should let ppl who have a negative opinion blur their face
why?
What opinion was negative here?
Just because you're straight doesn't mean i like you broo. Do you know what type mean cmon 😭

Thank you for that video! Especially the two younger women said great things about educating from a young age that LGBTQIA+ is normal and found everywhere in the world :)

캐나다에서 10살도 안 된 애 성전환수술 반대한 아버지가 투옥됐다. 지금 족치지 않으면 우리나라도 그렇게 되겠지
1:10 남자분은 틀린게 아니라 다르다고 하시는데, 다른게 아니라 틀린겁니다. 아직 젊어서 개방적이신 것 같은데 아닙니다. 게이들은 게이들끼리만 좋아하는게 아니라 일반인들도 그쪽으로 끌어들입니다. 그리고 어릴때부터 남자 남자 여자여자 가 손잡고 뽀뽀하고 사랑하고 결혼하는걸 보고 자라면 그게 당연한건 줄 알고 큽니다. 그거 엄청 위험한거에요. 개방적인게 훌륭하고 똑똑한게 아니에요. 때론 보수적인게 맞습니다. 전 다른쪽으론 개방적인 편인데 게이 레즈비언들은 틀린겁니다. 꼭 막아야해요. 하지만 세상은 이미 그쪽으로 관대해져가고 있고 제 생각엔 절대 못막을것 같습니다. 나중에 결혼을 하고 아이를 낳으면 아실거에요. 그게 왜 위험한건지, 뭐가 잘못된건지.
Why it's wrong?
선생님, 저는 캐나다에 십년넘게 살고있는 이민자입니다. 캐나다는 아시다시피 동성결혼을 합법화시킨지 꽤 오래되었어요. 여기 애들 다 어릴때부터 남자남자 여자여자 뽀뽀하고 연애하고 결혼식까지 올리는거 다 보고자라요. 근데 출산율은 어느 동네가 더 높을까요? 캐나다: 여성 1명당 1.4명이고/ 한국: 여성 1명당 0.84명이에요. 선생님 사시는 한국은 1명조차 안됩니다. 이게 무슨 뜻인지 아세요? 당신네들이 지껄이는 같은 주장은 근거없는 망상이고 틀렸다는게 사실상으로 증명된겁니다. 게이결혼 합법화한 나라가 불법인 나라보다 출산율이 높다구요. 제가 중학교때 이민왔으니 저도 성장기 일부는 게이들 레드비언들 연애하는거 보고 자랐습니다. 제가 꼬추를 좋아할까요 짬지를 좋아할까요? 저는 제 꼬추를 짬지 말고는 그 어떤것에도 박고싶지않습니다. 전 아무런 차질없이 제가 태어난대로 이성애자로 자라났어요.
그리고 개방적인게 생각없이 무지성으로 무모하게 개방적인게 아니에요. 과학적 객관적 이성적으로 그들을 차별할 이유가 없고 차별하지 않음으로써 사회적 이익과 인류 보편가치를 보호하는데 더 이롭다 판단되기에 개방적인거고, 이 개방적이라는 표현도 사실 정확하지 않습니다. 선생님이 망상적인거죠. 때론 보수적인게 맞지만 여기선 아니고, 여기서 보수적이란건 그냥 미개한겁니다. 요즘 대한민국을 보고있으면 구한말같다는 생각이 들어요. 케이팝 케이드라마 한류가 대단한거같죠? 근데 그거 아셔야되요. 한국에 선생같은 사람들이 태반이라는거 세계인들이 아는순간 그 대단한 한류에 정내미떨어져서 불매할사람들 정말 많거든요. 이미 동남아시아에서는 현재진행형이에요. 그 많은 외국인 노동자들, 유학생들 에서 왔다고 차별한 덕분에요ㅎㅎ
@@vincecazzie6698 저도 미국에 십년넘게 거주하고 있습니다. 선생님처럼 저도 많이 보고 자랐구요. 어릴땐 저도 그냥 내버려두지 왜 욕하고 차별할까? 라고 생각하고 그들을 존중하고 안타깝게 바라봤지요. 하지만 나이가 들고 세상을 바라보는 시각이 달라졌어요. 아시다시피 미국에 엄청난 동성애자들 많습니다. 그들을 이해해주고 지지해주는 사람들도 많지만 그들을 막으려하고 반대하는 미국 사람들 또한 정말 많습니다. 이게 무슨 뜻일까요? 어릴때부터 많이 보고 자라도 반대하는 사람들.. 왜 그럴까요? 다른게 아니라 틀린거라 그런겆니다. 과학적 객관적 생리학적 이성적으로 그들을 이해할 이유가 전혀 없기 때문입니다. 대한민국에도 이해해주고 존중해주는 사람들이 꽤 많아요. 한국에 살지 않는다고 자신의 조국을 너무 비하하진 말아주세요. 동성애자들을 반대하는 사람들이 많다고 자신의 국가를 비판하고 안젛은 편견으로 가득차서 살아가는건 올바르지 않습니다. 저도 한국을 떠나서 살고 있지만 전 우리나라가 좋아요. 케이팝 케이드라마 지금 잘나간다고 대단한것 같죠? 가 아니라 대단한겁니다. 글을 아주 길게 쓰셨는데 본인은 굉장히 대단하게 논리적으로 글을 썼다고 생각하며 뿌듯해하시는것 같은데 다 개소리에요. 그냥 한쪽으로 치우쳐진, 근거없는 헛소리라는 겁니다. 부들부들 대는거 참으면서 이런 거 쓸 시간에 정신 차리시고 지금 옆에 있는 캐나다 남자친구 분한테 더 신경쓰고 잘하고 사세요. 응원합니다. 화이팅!
@@mflowtown 제가 성장기에 동성애를 보고자랐다는거는 제 댓글 맥락에서 동성애가 사회적으로 받아들여져도 그게 확산되거나 전염되지 않는다는 근거를 들기위해 드린 말씀입니다. 선생님처럼 나도 알만큼 알아! 잴려고 한 말이 아니구요. 어릴때 그냥 내버려두지 왜 욕하고 차별할까? 라고 생각했다고 거짓말하셨는데 ”그건 니가 어려서 그렇게 생각하는거다“라는 말을 하기위해 은근슬쩍 치는 거짓말이라는 의심이 드네요. 동성애자를 차별할 이유가 없다는 근거는 과학적 객관적 생리학적 이성적으로 넘쳐납니다. 과학적 객관적 생리학적 이성적으로 그 이유가 뭔지 들어본적도 없도 들어볼 의지조차 없으면서 자신의 선입견과 혐오를 정당화하는데에 너무 익숙해져있는 사람들이 주로 반대를 하죠. 징그럽도록 보수적이고 전근대적인 기독교 사상에 절여져 있거나요. 그 중 태반이 날개달린 천사와 요정(fairy)가 실존한다고 믿는 사람들이고 유감스럽게도 미국은 그런걸 믿는 국민의 비율이 제1세계중 가장 높답니다. 고로 여기서 미국인들둥 교육수준낮고 보수적인 꼴통들의 순도 100% 편견과 신앙에 기반한 반대의견이 대체 무슨 의미가 있나 싶어요. 동성애 반대근거라곤 ”자연의 섭리를 거스른다“라는 얘기를 앵무새마냥 반복하는거 말고는 할줄아는게 없는 지적약자들인데 선생님도 그런 부류들중 하나라 모르시겠지만 동성애는 자연섭리의 소수적 일부라는게 생물학적으로 검증된게 80년대입니다. 브루스 바게밀의 동물 동성애연구 찾아보세요.
@@mflowtown
동성애를 차별할 이유가 없다는 주장에 대한 근거를 제시하는 사람들은 다 과학계와 의학계에 종사하는 과학자들입니다. 선생이 말씀하시는 미국인들은 대부분 종교인들이죠. 미국인은 국적을 뜻할뿐 “반대하는 미국인들도 많다”는 얘기는 지금 저희가 나누고있는 대화에선 별 의미가 없죠ㅋㅋ
내가 나고자란 조국이어도 잘못된건 잘못된거고 근거있는 비판은 선생이 생각하시는 비하와 다릅니다. 무조건 감싸고돌면 발전은 없습니다. 조국을 들먹이며 비판을 막는건 쌍팔년도식 사고방식이죠 지금은 벌써 2020년대입니다.
미국 어디에서 십년넘게 거주하셨는지 뭘 많이 보고 자랐다는건지 모르겠지만, 마지막에 남자친구 운운하며 동성애차별을 지적했으니 너는 동성애자일것이다라는식의 문장 끝맺음까지 선생님 연세가 어떻게 되시던간에 정신연령은 꼴사납도록 미숙하다는거 하나는 확실히 알겠습니다.
지금도 보세요. 동성결혼 합법화한 국가가 불법인 한국보다 출산율이 높다. 동성애는 전염되지 않는다 통계적 근거까지 들었음에도 불구하고 그게 근거제시라는것도 못알아먹고 “나도 미국살았어” 소리나 하고있죠 얼마나 한심해요; 선생은 단 한개의 구체적 근거도 들지못하고 반대하는 미국인들 많고 그들도 다 나름의 이유가 있다라는 말밖엔 안하셨습니다. 나이는 처먹었고 자존심만 머리끝까지 가득차있는데 정작 머리에 실속은 없는 부류의 사람들이 이런식의 논쟁을 합니다. 그러다 결국 목소리큰놈이 이기게되는거죠 무슨 석기시대 혈거인들마냥ㅎㅎ 죄송한데 요즘 중학생들조차 선생보다 논리적이에요. 논술학원 다니는 친구들은 초등학교 고학년이면 이미 선생의 논술수준을 능가했구요.
😂 너무 유치해서 여기까지만 쓸게요. 기본적인 비판적 사고능력도 없는 애어른들하곤 대화가 안되서요.
Simple Solution: Follow Bible Teaching - God is never wrong - please read Jude 7.
all they say is supporting gays, lesbians and people who born with the syndrome to be trans. but almost none talks bout that crappy pronouns, adjectives, 100+ genders and shit which the western world pushes to other countries. And thats what i respect, in staying here. I have gay and lesbian friends in korea as they say feeling masculine in a scale and feminine is temporary and it happens in everyone once or many, As here repeated "as a gay man I feel feminine towards people i like as a partner but still im masculine as im a man, i cant change that by putting some make up and wearing female clothes."
If the homeosexual and lesbian people want everyone to respect their opinion then they also should respect Christian and conservative people opinions also. But most organizations and the homosexuals and lesbians will not. Then news media will side with them and criticize the real conservative christians. I know because i see it here in America.
Unfortunately Korea is on the path of the west. Eventually facing the same problems. Im not against gays etc and everyone should get to live in peace without threat of violence etc but its not something that should be celebrated. Especially in a nation which has such low birth rates. Dont hate me ✌️
@@pinkiebeee2045 foreigners/immigrants who grow the birth dates doesnt help. Korea needs to say korean. There would not be korea if most of there would be lets say of european or african background. I think best that they could do is make it easier to young people start a family. Tax reduction based on amount of children, no shame in maternity/faternity leave, family loans which would have lower interest rate and lets say having 3 kids would remove the loan totally. Every country should put the wellbeing of their own people first!
@@pinkiebeee2045 and yes i agree. It is the governments fault and the way they shape their society. Too much focus on economy and capitalism paid with the happiness of their people can destroy any nation.
Gay people aren’t going to affect the birth rate. The low birth rate is caused by lack of money and space.
@@wdvnge Glad to see a comment I can fully agree with here. We all love korean culture, but want to make it western? WHY? Reminds me of Californians hating california, and then moving out of state to a place like Texas, then voting for the exact same things they ran away from...making it a mini California only to get upset that they don't like it there, rinse and repeat..... like... it just doesn't make sense...
The guy who said not to be a target makes me a little pissed.
Because here in Poland 🇵🇱 I've had situation on the gay app. The Guy said to me: "I'm straight I have a Wife and Kids but I want to have sex with a Gay and I want to be your slave."
And I never had a situation from me or my friends to even flirt with straight people.

just illness.. it's most of korean think that.. people just say it because they think it's cool to think that way, and don't know anything of reality.
The one who said 'it doesn't matter olny when it doesn't affect you' is on point.

in China there are very many, even easy to find, and also many beautiful girls who become sapphic women, they are really BEAUTIFUL, I am astonished and amazed by their beauty,I met many on Douyin, twitter
Yup. Since they are more diverse and has huge population, people tend not to care other's business unless it harms your life. Only the different thing is Chinese government. Ironically it is officially homophobic but Chinese ppl don't care 😂

@@lornam1142 I think they just means that it's being more accepted, and conservatives like to think that talking abt LGBT+ topics makes kids gay or something. Ik it's addictive to reply to stupid comments, I've been there, but you won't go anywhere with the conversations in cs. Most conservatives just tend to be scared of different things they don't understand, so in their heads we're going through some sort of apocalypse, and they don't realize that so many lives have improved from acceptance because they don't see or experience it directly.
