Ladies, when you sense danger before you actually see it, it’s because your senses pick up something threatening, for example weird foot step pattern, someone in your peripheral, it’s almost always correct. The brain is a busy and amazing thing.
Yesssss so true!
You absolutely do not need to show any evidence that you were stalked. If a woman feels uncomfortable or unsafe in a situation, then believe them when they vocalize their feelings! I am so relieved that you were able to think quick enough to get out of the elevator, that definitely could have turned dangerous for you. Keep on sharing your stories Annie, they provide information on what is and what's not normal in Korea and I know that they will help foreign women who plan to visit Korea in the future.
❤️❤️❤️
I'm glad you tell these stories because more women can be aware of these situations and how to handle them!!
Yesss always trying to educate with my stories
Your stories are NOT fake, are NOT ridiculous; unfortunately every one of them sounds quite plausible to me. Any woman who has spent at least 13 years on this earth has a creepy guy story. I don't understand people who question your stories. Keep them coming girl! We will keep speaking up.✊
That second one was so horrible. But also the first, risking your limbs, literally to get away. Thanks for sharing x
Haha yeah the second one definitely gave me a form of ptsd. Hope that guy learned his lesson haha
@@annienova I'm got a sad feeling that he probably didn't 😠
I’m so glad you do these videos it’s so helpful I’m planning on studying in Seoul as a business major and knowing this information helps to know the bad parts of the country.
Yay glad you found it informational! ❤️❤️
She is definitely not lying.. its pretty clear from the way she is explaining that she is legit recalling from her memory and not making things up.
Annie please continue to share your stories. The people that say you're making things up are actually just stupid, your stories aren't even far-fetched 🙄 probably a bunch of teenage boys
❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your stories. I know it can be hard. It’s very helpful!!!
Thanks for watching!
these vids are my fav to see on my subscription, feel like I’m watching my older sister hahaha I LOVE YOU GALLLLL
😘❤️
I've had so many incidents here in England that my default is aggressive and swearing. I let them say what they wanted to say if it's quick, then i'm just like 'get the fuck away from me. Who do you think i am! How dare you! Shame on you!', lol, i've actually said 'i am a laaady!!' to creepy guys before. As soon as i start talking they tend to f off anyway, i'm aggressive and annoying and i don't try to hide it.
So true! Trying to be the same haha
Pay'em haters with dust Annie ..... honestly you don't have to provide any recipts to any one to try n justify your trauma.....believers will believe , haters will hate and potatoes will potatee....love your video ! ❤️🥰
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Girl thank you for all your videos!! You're a whole vibe. I hope to meet you one day 🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️
I really love your story time videos🥰🥰🤗🤗🤗 they are amazing, keep going.
Glad you enjoy!
@@annienova yes i do a lot🥰
what if you do not reply at all? one time, i was waiting for my bus at the bus station and some guy tried speaking to me, but i did not say anything and he just said - i guess you're deaf, and walked away
Lmao I’ll try that next time
Ppl telling you that it's fabricated stories should frankly just shut their mouth, disrespectfully. Probably never been to Korea/Seoul and have no clue. I was only on vacation and never longer than 2 weeks and still it happened to me too several times.
Yeah it's weird having strangers say stuff like that doesn't happen. They're the people who most likely have never been to Korea/ fetishise the country
Really love your videos and especially these kinds! You are soo funny and make me laugh a lot but still bring awareness to issues of stalking and make me think to be more careful when I go out alone. Thank youuu !!!
Glad you enjoyed and it helped!
Thank you so much to share your true experience with us.... And I literally feel that we have to move out from KWorld ....
At last I just want to say... U literally have guts to speak 🗣
Thanks❤
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I live for these videos & I feel like we would have some crazy stories between the two of us.
For example: I once met a guy who threatened to call the cops on me for "drunk driving" because I wanted to go home and not stay the night with him after having a drink because he was a f**king weirdo
Loooooool 😂😭
Thanks for sharing your stories. This is so useful and informative ❤️
I like how you keep your sense of humor and positive vibes even in the worst situations...🤣
I am sure if you were killed you would whisper just before "the AUDACITYY" 🤣
hahahahah yeah I'd deff say something like that, or call someone to delete my internet search history
I remember once (in the US) I was walking to the bus stop, broad day light, and some dude yelled out to me if I had a bf (I stupidly said no) and if I wanted one. I yelled back Nope! and kept walking. Literally a few hours later my school emailed everyone saying a guy fitting the description of the guy that hollered at me had been robbing cars in the parking lot I saw the dude by and that he threatened a guy that hed tase them if they tried to stop him (no one saw a taser but jfc).So yeah, men are lovely 🙄... but seriously be careful in any city, country, continent, fucking planet idk.
damn that's crazy! Sorry that happened to you!
Oh god I just saw a tiktok a few days ago of this foreigner in Korea being followed and later approached with “you my style can I have your number” and soooo many (non-korean) ppl tried to justify it as not being weird?? And the fact that I wasn’t even looking for a video to prove they were wrong but just stumbled upon this video shows how common and concerning this is 😩 i’m so sorry you have to experience this
God I hope this dies down and guys stop thinking it's okay to do this to foreign women
Your stories are epic you should write a book.😂 Also weldone for being strong and courageous
Haha thank you!
binge watching your videos because they're all so relatable!
i'm a korean american and this is my 2nd year living in korea for the first time and the elevator thing happened to me as well. i was finishing up dinner with my mom around my neighborhood and when we split ways, i saw someone stare at me for a while and follow me back into my apartment. he came INTO the elevator and asked me for my number and i held the door open and told him if he doesnt leave, i'm calling the police. he left, thankfully, but how fucking CREEPy is it that guys in korea think THATS OK
ughhhh that's insane! Glad you were safe!
I like your stories, I'll be in Korea next year so I like watching your videos (:
Wooo glad you enjoyed!
I'm sorry all that happened, sounds terrifying, and that people are being assholes.
The same thing happened to me, but in Canada. I can literally go out anytime, and I'm cautious but not scared. Once I was coming home at like 11 at night and this guy actually followed me to my apartment building. He asked if we could 'get together'. I'm paraphrasing cuz I can't remember the exact words he used. I was so freaked out, I didn't open my door and sternly told him I was gonna report him to the police if he didn't get away from me. In this day and age men know better than to follow a woman at night, for whatever reason. A man actually tweeted that if he sees a woman walking at night he tries to cross the street so she's not scared. That's what all men should do, as a courtesy IMO.
Oh god, I'm sorry you had to go through that
Girl! Yes, it happens so often its not even funny. They dont understand that we are not interested. My friend went to Japan and I was facetiming her. She was stalked for 2 hours, she told the police and then they were like did he touch you. Like what? Come again? Even men get stalked, people are so strange. Thank goodness you are okay. Everyone please be safe.
Yeah unfortunately a lot of the time the police can't do anything since technically no crime has been committed :/
I really believe that we all have a sixth sense when it comes to danger. My creep senses were tingling one day. I was leaving the grocery store and something told me to turn around. There was a man literally on my heels, behind me in this huge parking lot. He was so quiet that I didn’t even know he was that close behind me. I think my loud “what the FUCK” startled him. He scurried back to his car, which was on the opposite end of the lot from where I parked. 🙄
hahhaa yeah as soon as you raise your voice and show them they can't intimidate you, they give up
thank u for sharing Annie!!
Thank you for watching!
A lot of this reminds me of the year I spent in Rome (context: I am white but I have naturally red hair, so for that reason looked foreign to most Italians). I too could go out late at night and didn't feel like I was physically at risk, but in comparison to my home country, the amount of sexual harassment and the regularity of it was rife. And most of the time it would start out deceptively innocent too - like asking me for directions and so forth. It got to the point where whenever an Italian guy approached me, I would just put my head down, tell them I didn't want to speak to them and walk away. Which is not who I am - generally I am helpful and don't mind helping others, but it was just so predatory.
Yeah sadly you gotta ignore your habit of being nice and have to shoot them down before they can even get started with their spiel
My opinion is that if you use the crazy eyes with a very rough voice,right at the begining of the approach they will leave faster. The " thanks , ha ha ha " response is like an invite to weirdo s. It lures them in. At least in my experience that is what i have noticed. I like this type of videos tough
Yeah it's annoying cause I start to laugh whenever I feel nervous/uncomfortable
Can't blame you, for exp i talk a lot when i am uncomfortable.got better with self control, but still slip up once in a while
Not sure if this helps but if you get approached and dont want to seem rude, you can always start speaking german! Theres a way slimmer chance of creepy men understanding german than them speaking English.
Hahaha I've done that before when I spoke Croatian and he got out google translate and I had to pretend not to know what it was lmaoooo
You are best sis🥰
Your videos definitely teach us
❤️❤️❤️
Geez, it's 2021, people! Victim blaiming is not cool.
It’s wildddd
I like that you share your experience. It'll help those ladies who wants to go South Korea. Creeps are everywhere ladies, their is no country which is safe for women... So, it's better to keep your eyes and ears open..... Foreigners have to take more precautions coz they are unfamiliar with culture and society......kdrama and idols are present in that way so you can't find a single fault in them coz their society are designed like that, otherwise they'll get criticized by society......
yepppp exactly
HOW IS SHE LYING???? I believe her and sis get this: I am a black MUSLIM girl and this stuff has been happening WEEKLY. I believe you sis, stay safe out here! It definitely isn't as scary as in the West but still it's no fun for us and some men don't get it
❤️❤️❤️
Jesus loves you Amira ❤
I went to Kazakhstan in 2018 and I’m a half Mexican half American women, I told somebody this cause they asked and the guy who heard me (there were many in the cafe)and he was so fascinated that I knew the Kazakh and Russian language and asked if I had a boyfriend. I didn’t answer cause I did already at the time. And so I left and turns out he followed me to my hotel. I’m at the bottom floor. Two ish in the morning, I see him watching me sleep through the thin ass white curtains and taking super bright flash. And he keeps following me after two days again, so I take it to the police with evidence. They didn’t do crap 🤠so I just end up having to see this dude till I left home and eventually had a Kazakh friend and his brother confront the dude so when I came back, he was no longer an issue. This happens a lot if you are a foreigner especially in a micro nation
You are the best, And you makes me happy 😊❤️❤️
❤️❤️
Omg I love you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
if you were to sit to the side slightly the reflection of a ring light would make it look like you have a halo
Omggg hahahaha
Girl can i tell u somethin :( This happened to me all the time when i lived in Bangkok...
and it wasn't Thai men following me into the elevator trying to talk to me..& to see which room I live..
but they were all Nigerians (many Nigerians live in Thailand/Bangkok).I think u cant blame it on Koreans,
but just MEN in general who think women who live abroad are easy flesh. Luckily I then moved to another
building with keycards for entrance/elevator.
THE FACT THAT YALL MADE HER PULL UP RECEIPTS SMHHHH LMAO disgusting
Don't shoot me for this (and not to move away from the purpose of this video) but I wanted to touch a little on that media thing: I personally blame media a lot for the portrayal of us women, music, movies, animes, magazines, even f*ing cartoons that kids watch! Music-wise, I'm still looking for that girl group or female artist that sings killer songs and sends off badass no-sexual-at-all vibe (they're not shown in a sexual manner at all). There are some I've found but their music is not my type cause I'm picky music-wise 😅 but their aura and persona is that tough do-not-mess-with-me with no sexual undertone. We need more portrayals like that in the media.
Of course we're free to dress as how we want and portray ourselves as how we want (just to clear off any misunderstandings) and I don't put blame on women however they dress or portray themselves (it's their body after all). Still media does *exagerateeeee* our sexuality!
Right but sadly the music industry is run by old white men. They want to make money and sex sells. However I think it’s important to remember that we as adults should recognise that media is not real life haha
This why I walk around with a taser , Cause bitch wats up I’m not the fucking one to play with 😂
😂😂
I love your account ❤️❤️❤️
They seem to really aim at foreigners. I'm sorry that you get attacked and say that your stories are not real. I think those who never experienced these should feel lucky and just listen instead of bashing others. Do you have friends that are Asian foreigners that also have this experience? Is pepper spray or taser popular among girls over there?
I’ve had conversations with Asian non Korean friends and it’s basically night and day haha also on dating sites they told me that they only receive respectful messages where as girls like me immediately get asked if we live alone or if we want to meet at a motel
That’s horrible! I’m sorry you had to experience that. Hopefully that fucking creep got a clue from your reaction.
I hope it scared him enough to never do that again hahahah
@@annienova good! I saw a video on tik tok recently where a girl got cat called on a train platform and she turns around and starts screaming at him like a banshee. It works👌 It’s horrible that us women trying to protect ourselves still feel like we are causing a scene and bothering others. Much love to you x
You are really pretty so I don't know why people would think you're making this up???? :/
I mean I don't think it depends on what you look like. Creeps will be creeps haha
It amazes me to hear all this stories of korean men stalking foreigners women and not one of this ladies talk about confronting them. They just hide or walk away..but why? Are they afraid of being deported or something? Beacause I know for a fact that they're not going to act the same way in their countries in that situation.
I think in the moment it's hard to react the way you would want to. Additionally, the law often isn't on our side
@@annienova That's what I thaugth..thanks for responding. Much blessings..
Luckily I can speak a diff language than English so I use that
Hey dear have you heard from mj we miss her
No sorry I haven't :/
Girl I’m about to go to Korea and you got me scared 😂 What’s the goal for these guys? Is it a trafficking thing or are they trying to assault you? Or do they want a relationship I’m so confused. What’s the point of trying to compliment you and get your number?
they usually want a one night stand,because they think that foreigner girls are easier,being honest.
Que beta males insisting it's a compliment.
Lmaooooo legit in what world do they live in 😂😭
AudaCity, Everywhere.
Open Ranks ah yes, because women love being harassed on the street by strangers
@Open Ranks guessing ur a man??
@Open Ranks ok dude. Let it go. You are in in the comment section looking pathetic. She doesn't give a fuck about you
Ladies please think smart. You should generally go out with some friends but there’s no reason to walk alone the streets at 2am 😭
Very true, but what I meant by saying that is if I needed something from the convenience store or something, I feel perfectly safe going out and doing that haha in my experience, the creeps are usually out during the day hahahha
@@annienova True, this was nothing against you I just mean for women especially in other areas to stay safe or grouped when going out 🌸💖
fucking sucks that you have to put up with this, stay safe💓😌
Hi😎
helloooo
Lol why is there a pair of … drawn in the back🤣
haha why not
FIRST
Woooo
Girl can I borrow your legs for a day or two? I have the speed of a turtle and I'm 162 cm tall, should I start learning martial arts then? XD
hahahaha sure sure
To a cheeky Indian woman
Leave Korea quickly and return to England
Haha nah I know how to handle myself
