Except in there racism which is same or worse than America. More to the worse part because if any club in America don't allow black people, they would be destroyed
Alex Meggoe yeah but they are also like 97% homogeneous ethnic Koreans with 2.5% other Asians and the rest black or white people I believe. It’s not quite the same. They still have thier many many problems but with this issue the history is different and tbh most of the country probably hasn’t seen a black person in Real life.
rachel rodriguez yeah a lot of them haven’t seen a black person which is weird because I knew one who lived in Inchewon(can’t remember how to spell it) and she said the first black person she saw was when she was in college. no wonder why she was racist 🤷🏽♀️
@@XCHDragox115 U.S protestants delivered by burning and looting the cities. How you deliver the message is one of the most important factors that contributes.
I was visiting S. korea at the time. As a result of this massive peaceful protests, the former President Park was impeached. Protests continued throughout the cold winter, until they finally got the impeachment result. They brought their own bags to pick up trashes. They marched down holding a candle as a symbol of Light. Streets were left clean as normal days. Protesters even protected police force by their body chains, when some protesters attempted to throw stones at police. Some violent protesters were yelled at and quieted by the majority of protesters. No tear gas, no clashes, and no destructions. I saw many protesters with their kids. It was like family outings. I heard they wanted to teach their kids about democracy. Many store owners on the streets opened up their restroom for the protesters to use. Some of them even passed out water bottles. The scene felt like festival events with songs and performances of all kinds. But the unifying voices of the people were clearly delivered. It was the most remarkable scene I’ve ever experienced in my life.
Unfortunately, since the new administration took over, the incompetent office made a huge economic decline that set back centuries of economic growth, as well as deteriorating international relarionships with partnering countries like Japan and the US. Not only that, but self-acclaiming propaganda and socialist fascist influences were put upon the country, as well as evident cases of rigged major elections that mark an even worse effort of corruption and incompetence of the new office. While the previous administration did have its faults, the collective protests are usually the results of well-organized plannings of the new administration, which they weaponize to impose super socialist (even close to communism in some ways) decisions recklessly, while being 'justified' for their collective cause. Everything turned out for the worse... Even the recent success in Korea's effort against COVID-19, isn't due to the effort of the administration as they like to advertise: it is the group of researchers and companoes that had to deny and protest against the administration's claims that there would be no need for special preparation. After all, it is the administration that never closed its international borders, which caused Korea to be the top 2nd country with the most cases. Everything only got silenced due to those who protested against Moon.

Dias06 It's not about which cause, it's about what kind. Both us and the Koreans are protesting for reforms to the government. If only our police acted the same as theirs...
@@khaiylex7866 there is so such thing as 'perfect' education. Korea just has one of the good education system. Although we have to learn and study too much, but that makes us well-educated individuals than any other ppl who didnt learn or study as much as we have.
소피스트Sophist so are you saying you have better education than americans have? Because I didnt say you got terrible education I just simply said to the main comment that South Korean isn't that superior in terms of education.
Yea but this protest only had one race, if a country has one race as 95 percent majority, it is more friendly. But in America there are so many minorities.
QT1017 that’s stupid, Have you seen any protest in South America ? How about the protest in Egypt a few years ago? Lol race have nothing to do, It’s the culture. I am from Colombia and every time there is a protest even if the cause it’s peace, People are always throwing rocks and even home made bombs to the police. Just take Hong Kong as the most recent example. Not minorities and violence everywhere.
The protest was not only peaceful, but also fun so that so many people and children wanted to join to show love for their country. The highest level of what a reformation means.
Republican in office: Everybody protest!!!!!!!! Let's kick out the Republican!!! Woooo! Democrat in office: Protests not allowed!!!! Do not question the Democratic Party!!!!! It's too dangerous to speak out! Just obey the Democrats!!!! What a joke.
This only works because South Korea is homogeneous; Asians are traditional, family oriented, and focus on education. In contrast, America is to racially and culturally divided. You can’t have Blacks, Whites, Asians, Latinos, Arabs, Indians and Natives to think the same and behave peacefully.
@@mouseinthehouse9750, why you gotta make it about race? They are one nation, even though they have different cultures (yeah, there are Chinese ethnic groups, but I bet you cant look beyond race) that have clashed badly in the past (if you think america is violent, just look at the history of the Far East). They protest like this because they know violence solves nothing. And ruining their own community is not the way to go
@Mozi Lu I'm going to be honest with you I know nothing about that I refuse to learn about it just like I don't care about any war or past that I had nothing to do with but I also refuse to be a race or ethnicity we are people that don't know why we are here.
South Korea has a very short history(73 years) of democracy, but most of them were consisted of dictatorship and suppression.(There were three dictators who led Korea for 41 years lol) and even the presidents who were elected in a total democratic manner also have done mindless things that still put Korea in trouble now, for example president Lee(2008~2013) has spent billions of dollars repairing the facilities at the biggest rivers in Korea, but failed and even turned them into the most polluted rivers in Korea because he used the money for his private business. However, nowadays most of the citizens are educated to protect democracy and not to allow corruption, Korea now became able to carry out one of the greatest demonstrations in modern history of democracy. Previous president Park(Actually we can't call her as 18th president now. She was erased from the list) was impeached for not only being such an asshole, but also offending many of the provisions in the constitution. Also the press (except JTBC) was keeping silent about the crime she committed. The citizens knew that they needed a huge turning point in this country. The evidence for the impeachment was mostly accomplished by common people, such as exposures of witnesses. That's the core of what we can learn from Korea 2016.
One more thing, President Lee that I mentioned above was arrested yesterday, for offending fairness in national policy. This was also affected by citizens' movement that was spread throughout the internet. There is a company named DAS which was the main location where the corruption happened, and when the politicians tried to conceal the tiny evidence that may throw Lee into dishonor, a lot of netizens disclosed the case by writing comments like "So whose is DAS?" all over the internet. The press then started to report this issue importantly, and now he is in the prison! Even the former president can be punished and sent to jail in Korea. I suppose this is quite different from Japan, and China, where people are less interested in politics than Korea. When I look into Korean internet, I somewhat get confused by the fact that so many people have so many harsh arguments in many different places about the politicians they dislike, but I also feel positive about how these common people consider politics very important.
JcLive What kind of global tech company do we have? Well in the perspective of normal people’s life I admit our(Korean) technological lifestyle is better than US. But in macro prospect we don’t have better ‘technology’ then US. Think about it how many Global IT companies do we have? First 2things in your mind would be Samsung electronics and LG right? How about America? Intel, Nvidia, AMD, Google(Alphabet now), IBM, Oracle and etc. so what again? Edit: yeah we have fastest wifi so what?

They have a more corrupt government now than before unfortunately this was recommended by RUclips’s algorithm as propaganda to try and make people more peaceful
Peaceful protests are nice and helps getting more people to join the protest, but it was only possible as a result of decades of bloody resistance. South Korea had 3 different dictators in the last 70 years, and none of them stepped down without armed protests. This one (Park geun-hye) also had a detailed plan to declare martial law and forcefully suppress the protest.
@@user-bh1mi3qc4p Don't lump the looters in with the peaceful protesters. The peaceful protestors want justice for George Floyd and police reform so nothing like this will happen again. The looters want a free TV.
@@TannerJarring korea is just as capitalistic as the U.S., just not in terms of economic scale. Being capitalistic has nothing to do with having common sense and doing what's right from wrong.
They showed what true democracy is where people come together without any violence and looters. We need to get back to basics again and learn from wise.
True democracy is when people do whatever is necessary to achieve peace and justice. Not saying looting or violence is good, but when institutions are forcibly upended, violence comes. In protest to high taxes and systematic violence, revolutionaries dressed as Native Americans, raided Boston Harbor, and dumped the equivalent of a million dollars of tea into the ocean. No political change has come peacefully in the United States, violence, anger, murder, and numerous other things are the causation and result of meaningful political change and ideological revolution. It is not until the platform of the powerful is threatened through outrageous acts, that real change will come.
@@muircat13 the problem is that most, or a lot, of the looting and violence are just violent looters who are not protesting and only taking advantage of the situation. If protesters/peaceful protesters are looting and causing violence to one another then that's messed up, but any violence per se, is directed at the police. At least that's what I've seen. It's like you have 5 different groups present during all of these... "Good" cops, bad cops, peaceful protesters, bystanders, and violent looters. It's all just crazy
Looting is just the default of America whenever society breakdown. Lots of coups in Thailand, lots of typhoons in Philippines, massive protest gathering in s.korea but NO looters
Yeah cuz peaceful protests has worked SOOOOOOOOOO well Like when kaepernick took a knee and peacefully protested that worked just peachy didnt it? He solved racial injustice in policing right and the pundits loved it didnt call him a traitor or anything.

@@Aminangela that's why your country needs another lockdown after the protest, I hope you don't get or spread corona to the other protestors who obviously cannot wait the pandemic to stop in order to start the protest/rally. Americheos protestors really needs the south korea right now.
Ya but I don't get it. Why protest the way we do in the United States. You have many black businesses which at this current time thanks to Co-vid can hardly stay open. So instead we vandalize their property cause major damage and push the few people trying to stay up down.

@Alex The Awesome maybe you havent reached a third grade history class yet but there's a lot more to it than that. First of all, "4 cops kill a criminal," do you not see the flaw in that? A cop's job isn't to be judge and executioner. Second, this series of protests and riots are the result of pent up oppression of black people for over hundreds of years. As i said before, educate yourself
@@suegaashoeseok4895 Exactly. The BLM protests have been peaceful. There's already a shit ton of video footage showing that, and that the violence is actually from the police. I have seen different videos of protests for the anti-mask people and some did bring guns. There's even video footage of them attacking journalists. Meanwhile, in the BLM protests, multiple journalists have said they were attacked by police and have the video evidence to prove it. TLDR don't lump every American in with the Karens. We hate them just as much as you do.
AK 47 and you’re wrong, when people were protesting in Minnesota the shop managers and employees would not let anyone inside for cold milk if they were tear gassed.

Malaysia is corrupted with: 1) 1MDB, Najib calls himself a victim of a scam 2) Discriminatory laws aka Bumiputera policy 3) Rampant racism where every accident is turned into a racial issue 4) Significant xenophobia against foreign workers, rohingyas, indonesians and chinese from China 5) A sudden backstabbing and change in government during Coronavirus 6) Malaysians boasting they are among the best in handling Covid when the govt purposely dont even conduct mass testing daily on their foreign workers and illegals, tests are carried out purely based on contact tracing instead of proactive testing. Love from a tourist who once visited Sabah, where locals complain abt how despite being covered under Bumiputera policy their welfare arent being taken care of while the federal govt and companies take advantage of the existence of oil in Sabah.
i'm a korean . they have been gathered every Saturday night at square in Seoul city after 10.29. Seoul is capital city in korea. 1.5 million people at only Seoul was gathered at 11.26. people in most cities have been protesting president Park. She is too stupid and corrupted. according to press, she has been commanded by shaman(the name is soon sil choi). Ms choi has made money using president's power. and president Park is responsible for death of 300 students in ship accident.
I am sorry for this problem in your country, but I have confidence that it will come to a good resolution. The Korean people seem exceptionally smart and exceptionally capable.
People never united like current Korean people at that time...only peole can see corruptions of south Vietnamese government and had done nothing..That is why South Vietnam disappeared.
Congratulations to the Korean people on achieving their goal peacefully. It is inspiring that they were able to accomplish this with such great effort.
AMERICAns have different situations,heck im not even AMERICAn, but what they face is quite common nd PEACEFUL protest usually dont do "SHIT" but then SK is really CIVILIZED TOO
True to some extent but when you have peaceful protests that are met with force and brutality, they better believe all of that energy will be recycled back on to them.
Most of the protests in America are peaceful? As for the small percentage of rioters... compare South Korea's COVID response to America's. That's all you need to know about how the two countries operate. One actually cares for its people, the other only cares about the stock market. If you want your citizens to be civil, treat them like they're actually people.
@Herbert Munson that's for injustices done against after years of protesting peacefully without result. Y'all do that shit over a baseball game. I wouldn't be pointing fingers colonizer. I bet they built their country with their own hands something white people in America can't say. Had to steal and kill to get your way. That's all about to change.
God Bless South Korea and all the citizens. I have never been to such an amazing country. The people are the nicest, the food is great, and I had the best times when I visited there.
I mean that's how Korea is still strong. South Korea is actually smaller than some state in America but they are big in a way. They diss eachother daily but when problem comes up they group like a family.
That’s the problem though. We Americans don’t “see” each other as “family.” We’re all different but we haven’t fully overcome them yet. The problem is that people only see “race” and not as fellow citizens. Our divisions lay everywhere, be it age, culturally, religion, race, political views, wealth and class. “The United States?” We ain’t even united. For years, all I’ve seen are continued separation of group. Divide and conquer? We need to “Unite and Build.” But yes, that IS so MUCH to ask. Every US citizen is so individualistic that it cannot be organized in a peaceful fluid way. Majority of us all have nothing in common except the fact that we are “Americans.” That we are suppose to be united no matter our differences. And sadly we all keep forgetting that. The sons of daughters of liberty are meaningless without justice and unity. But I do not give up my faith that America can change for the better.
Gen C What’s worse is that it’s mostly looters who start the fires and riots. Peaceful protestors try to get their message across and be peaceful, but many douchebags take advantage of the movement to steal stuff they’re not supposed to. Plus, the police here can get aggressive if they wanted to, even with peaceful protestors who did nothing wrong. Everything is a mess here and we need to fix it.
jazzynice9 not soo peaceful when the police starts killing too. They started it. Understand that this is a whole different country altogether. In fact, peacefully protest never came to be until Gandhi, of which Martin Luther King adopted that protest. Even with that, it was not as peaceful. Many died
@@sA6ia Yes and besides the media just shows the brutal ones, although there are so many friendly demonstrations. But on the other site: Yes they burned things down, but as we can see it's the only way to get the attention of freakin america and i support
99.9% of violence are from detractors. People that plant themselves there on purpose pretending to be protesters but they're only reason is to either just be violent and stupid or to detract from the protest by creating violence and blaming it on the protesters. They dress like protesters on purpose and act like they are part of the actual protest exactly so people that are not at the protest can blame the protesters come a but if you ask the organizers of that protest nobody will have ever heard of them before. This has happened in every protest since protesting began Rioters and looters Take advantage of protest for their own gain and so that they can just break things while Agent Provocateurs Are the ones that infiltrate for the sole purpose of destroying a protest and undermining their attempts at a peaceful protest. These people can be just anti protests people or they can even be the police officers themselves..
@@A-Wa Oh its kinda mixed, but in many cases it has been flat out ignored. I think Norwegians in general are more comfortable to express their opinion on the internet in most cases.
Nahh not really. As Korean we tried to make it peaceful as possible cuz ppl who does not agree with this protest will just gain more power. Like if us protesters keep up what they are doing rn then the racists will be just get more prejudice and more conservative
Koreans are more united because everyone is the same race. They see each other as family with the culture, traditions, and ideas. America is divided because of multiculturalism, people don’t trust each other, self segregate, and have different cultures, different ideas, people just can’t relate with one another.
@MK JOE well.. yea, they surely was against the authority quite violently back then, because you could die protesting. There was torturing, gunshooting, killing. But they never looted some random hair salons or supermarkets to get some items.
I attended these protests, not to protest myself but just to witness it. I was amazed at how civilised it was. No violence, no damage to property and open to all people including kids. I was so proud of Korea while at the same time feeling a bit of shame while remembering how people have acted in protests in my own country. What must the Koreans think when they see how we are willing trash our own countries as a protest.
There’s a saying by the late US President, John F. Kennedy: “Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible make a violent one inevitable.” Clearly, the South Korean govt didn’t make a peaceful demand for change impossible. Their voices were heard, so in this country and in this case, a peaceful revolution worked. Violence is sometimes necessary (in my opinion), but this was not one of those times.
I was there too, we were singing together, having mini-concerts, making a giant 'wave' by putting candles in the air, etc. It was truly remarkable, almost surreal. I think this experience has left something in all of us who were there - a lasting sense of empowerment, unity, and responsibility.
I’m soooo proud to be Korean. We’ve overcome sooo many hard things through out the history. Now we’re struggling to overcome corona virus and every Koreans including our new government are working together to make things better. I believe we can do everything!!!
i love learning Korean history through your sageuk dramas. hope all is well with the pandemic and everything will be okay again :) regards from Malaysia.

good luck trying to "VOTE" your way out of oppression. it hasn't worked then and won't work now. do you hear yourself? you sound brainwashed, you act like voting will stop innocent people from getting brutalized from police. if you really want to make a change People need to STOP voting and participating in the shit show. they must demand that democrat or republican will not be voted for until black people stop being killed. that will get there attention asap.
@@John289474 that is the only way for democracy to die. A system of oppression is always born when it's citizens of a democracy fall asleep at the wheel. While America was distracted with its own prosperity, corrupt politicians slowly and quietly destroyed our democracy.

This is a protest. United in goal, civil and considered toward others. But you cannot really expect that from many countries. The Korean are a special people.
Yes agreed.. But Americans are not united. Those looters and radical protestors are another kind.. Some Americans have disciplined, many dont have.. ,😅✌️
This is what a protest demand, unity with peace. Other country should take it as a example. Voilence is of no use when you want your thing to get accepted.
They don’t have to worry about guns and people getting shot... that eliminates a lot of the anxiety.. I wouldn’t want my children going into an American riot... but Korea, it’s extremely safe
Korean protests are peaceful not because of gun control. It has nothing to do with guns. In the past Korean protests were very violent as well but in a democratic society violent protests aren’t needed and we’ve grown out of that. America on the other hand will find it hard to reach that level mainly because western liberals pity the rest of the world and think of themselves as morally superior by sympathizing and justifying the rioters.
TheAnalysis2 I said it removes a lot of the anxiety, not that it is the only reason why they are peaceful... And when you mention past demonstrations in Korea being violent, are you referring to (for example) Gwangju in the early 80s? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Korea was a military dictatorship (and not a democracy) until ‘87. Please double check your history and facts. After the people achieved democracy, Koreans have used their rights pretty peacefully, and don’t behave like Americans.
America also tried that but y’all wouldn’t know anything about the peaceful protest that MLK lead in the 1960s because y’all don’t wanna research anything before you open your mouths. They were hosed down, (some actually died) people spat in they’re faces, BEAT THEM HALF TO DEATH. The peaceful protesting finally ended when they killed the leader of the peaceful protesting (shot him in the head) and that’s when the rioting started. Our nations are completely different. What works in your nation won’t work in ours. And I’ll also remind you that when we did peaceful protest against our president, nothing changed. He’s still in office. So that should tell you something 😂😂😂.
@@ismayonnaiseaninstrument491 You say these people are speaking before they do their research, yet it seems like you've become very certain that it won't work in America without doing your research of protests in Korea. The protest of democratic uprising of May 18, 1980 was literally a masacre. Soldiers were shooting down protesters who had no guns or whatsoever. The protest couldn't even be spread through the media because the president censored all of them. Yet, here we are, protesting peacefully, knowing that it has stronger message than violence. I'm not saying that the same will certainly work there, but please don't judge that we protest like that because we've never desperately fought to make our voices.
Gotta say, I fully respect Koreans. From peaceful protests to worst chaos here is not good.. USA needs to do the exact protest AS South Korea... If not we need you South Korea, to teach us(USA) what an actual peaceful protest is..
American protests are normally peaceful. This one is different and that’s why it’s all over the news. This isn’t about a corrupt government official. We’re protesting for police to stop getting away with murdering innocent people. The violence didn’t start with citizens, it started with the police
Rhayne Lyte how do you know what race they are lmao? Unless by “lot of you” you’re implying killing human beings off wholesale, might be inclined to agree with you there. Just a reminder, you’re a human being with agency! Why don’t you just go through your own town today and slaughter people as you see fit? I’m certain no one would see fit to do anything about it and then you can make it back here and tell me how you did! After all, the universe revolves around you and your beliefs
@Rhayne Lyte look dear, this is a big portion of what's wrong with this country; The portion whom think they know what's best for others through violence or think that they're better than other humans for some "birthright" reason, feeding injustice directly. It's the same thing with those who are looting stores, they think that they can take advantage of these protest because they think that they are entitled to luxury items, then others follow them like a herd because they don't really care about equality but rather themselves at the moment. So you are showing that you don't care for equality or simply lack empathy for some psychological reason because you think that, "the whole lot of [people doing protest in america] should be put down." Honestly, do you want to see more blood and brutality on the streets because people had enough blood and meaningless death and brutality? If you mean to be humane in nature, you should start thinking "we should work harder to cleanse the spirits of stress and anger on the streets by doing what's correct, blood should not be spilled meaninglessly, nor life lost to another human by cruel and unreasonable actions. We must change this country's mindset and systems for the better once and for all, if we are to survive this pandemic together." Blessed be your soul with grace, your mind with clarity, understanding, and unity, and your body with health and immunity from the virus.
I am not good at english, but I want to say something about this mass protest in South Korea. We have a experience of peaceful protest, which is called 3.1 independence movement about 100 years ago. We were colonized by the Empire of Japan, then so many people were taken advantage of as soldiers, workers, etc. Now, We face the biggest national politic scandal. Many citizens are protesting against Park with precious experience for her resignation. On December 3rd, I was there, and press announced that it was the largest protest among 6 protest that have been happend during one month. about 1.7 million people gathered to Gwang Hwa square, and it was 2.3 million people in whole country. Thanks to this, I was able to see what democracy is, and I also felt being brave, not frustrated. I hope that we can last this protest in piece until president Park step down. And I also hope that South Korean will be able to live in free, rational, and prosperous country. Thank you for your reading this despite of my low english skill. I hope you all the best.
At least the OLDER style of demonstrations by fighting with the Korean Police and toppling the Korean police vans were not present. I read Seoul Police force Had BLOCKED Large farmers' tractors coming from countryside from entering Seoul City, because people from the countryside can be very violent at demonstrations, right?

"Not sure if its protest or rock concert" A big respect to those people,many greetings from Greece . P.S I wish we could protest in my country even in the half level of quality as they are doing there
As a South Korean, I kinda adore America's freedom and I think it's pretty cool, but at same time, I think a plenty of American citizens often don't distinguish between freedom, disorder, and selfishness. I don't know why protesters in America behave violently. they are from the same country though. Anyways, I want American protesters to respect each other and be safe. Greetings from Seoul.
The reason protestors are being violent is because; Police have been arresting journalists for *QUOTE* "Being with CNN" and did not release them until CNNs CEO called the governor of Minnesota and threatened him. Police have been shooting rubber bullets at journalists for no reason. Police go up to people's cars and shatter the windows and slash the tires and taze them 3 times for not getting out of the car while physically denying them from opening the door. Police shot tear gas at peaceful protestors so Trump could take a picture. Police shoved an elderly man to the curb where he bled to death as they stopped anyone from aiding him, and after the officer that pushed him was suspended, 57 other officers resigned because they felt that the man was a threat and dealt with properly.
@@productionkos8816 People in other countries block traffic too, but they don't get shot at, or beaten, or tear gassed. Intimidating and violent go for both sides here.
@@altf4635 So you think the police should just let them block traffic? Have u seen vids of cars running through protesters. The police have to take action so protesters don't get ran over.
As a South Korean we have a long history of protesting. It leads back to the era when Japan conquered Korea. We fought to get our country back. Also, few decades ago we protested for our civil rights due to dictators who didn't promise democracy to the people. In the beginning it wasnt always this peacful, there were protesters(mainly university students) who were tortured and mysteriously killed by the police. There were severe amount of violence that wee invoked by the police in the protest itself too. This has always been a problem and since then, the people and the police has found peace with it. Our peaceful protests are a result of painful but thankful history from what the former generation had paved. I just wanted to acknowledge that.
The allies had a lot to thank Korea for since Korea fought Japan tooth and nails and launched offensives, bombings, and assassinations against the Jaoanese. By the time WW2 rolled over in the Pacific, the Japanese army had so many inexperienced officers because they quickly replaced the experienced ones that the Koreans killed.
This is so wholesome to me because I’m from the US and seems like violence and ignorance go first when protesting against something.. Props to South Koreans, they set an example I dream to see in the US 😅🙂
LOL, set an example.....let me set out some SK examples for you ..... Gwangju massacre, Samchung re-education camps, Vietnam War, Spy cams, Park Chung-hee and his daughter, Burning Sun, Nth Room. List goes on. I feel bad for whats happening in your country, but protests are heavily regulated in SK. You need permits and planning documents, or out comes the riot squad. Not a nice scene when this happens, ran into one at Seoul station.

Also the police didn't shoot at CNN journalists, and arrest them "for being from CNN", releasing them after the CEO of CNN threatened the governor of Minnesota. Also the police didn't fire tear gas at peaceful protestors so their dear president could take a picture in front of a Church holding a Bible upside down. Also the police didn't shoot at people that were on their own porch for violating the curfew, which hadn't even started yet. Also the police didn't shove an elderly man into a curb and left him to die there while stopping anyone from going to aid him, and then being disgusted because people thought that the officers should face a penalty for the murder. Also the police didn't go to people randomly and shatter their car windshield and physically stop them from leaving their car, and then taze them 3 times for not leaving the car, while one of them slashed the tires on the car. But naw, it's all because they're homogeneous.
@@GoofRebelMusicmaybe that's because they are protesting a valid cause instead of a fake issue. If you try to protest by blocking a major road, I'm going to put the pedal down. Get off the road dumbasses.

I was visiting S. korea at the time. As a result of this massive peaceful protests, the former President Park was impeached. Protests continued throughout the cold winter, until they finally got the impeachment result. They brought their own bags to pick up trashes. They marched down holding a candle as a symbol of Light. Streets were left clean as normal days. Protesters even protected police force by their body chains, when some protesters attempted to throw stones at police. Some violent protesters were yelled at and quieted by the majority of protesters. No tear gas, no clashes, and no destructions. I saw many protesters with their kids. It was like family outings. I heard they wanted to teach their kids about democracy. Many store owners on the streets opened up their restroom for the protesters to use. Some of them even passed out water bottles. The scene felt like festival events with songs and performances of all kinds. But the unifying voices of the people were clearly delivered. It was the most remarkable scene I’ve ever experienced in my life.
Unfortunately, since the new administration took over, the incompetent office made a huge economic decline that set back centuries of economic growth, as well as deteriorating international relarionships with partnering countries like Japan and the US. Not only that, but self-acclaiming propaganda and socialist fascist influences were put upon the country, as well as evident cases of rigged major elections that mark an even worse effort of corruption and incompetence of the new office. While the previous administration did have its faults, the collective protests are usually the results of well-organized plannings of the new administration, which they weaponize to impose super socialist (even close to communism in some ways) decisions recklessly, while being 'justified' for their collective cause.
Everything turned out for the worse... Even the recent success in Korea's effort against COVID-19, isn't due to the effort of the administration as they like to advertise: it is the group of researchers and companoes that had to deny and protest against the administration's claims that there would be no need for special preparation. After all, it is the administration that never closed its international borders, which caused Korea to be the top 2nd country with the most cases. Everything only got silenced due to those who protested against Moon.

We can learn a lot from South Korea.
Lol.. look up the history of what has happened to their presidents.
Thank you☺
South Korea has a very short history(73 years) of democracy, but most of them were consisted of dictatorship and suppression.(There were three dictators who led Korea for 41 years lol) and even the presidents who were elected in a total democratic manner also have done mindless things that still put Korea in trouble now, for example president Lee(2008~2013) has spent billions of dollars repairing the facilities at the biggest rivers in Korea, but failed and even turned them into the most polluted rivers in Korea because he used the money for his private business.
However, nowadays most of the citizens are educated to protect democracy and not to allow corruption, Korea now became able to carry out one of the greatest demonstrations in modern history of democracy. Previous president Park(Actually we can't call her as 18th president now. She was erased from the list) was impeached for not only being such an asshole, but also offending many of the provisions in the constitution. Also the press (except JTBC) was keeping silent about the crime she committed. The citizens knew that they needed a huge turning point in this country. The evidence for the impeachment was mostly accomplished by common people, such as exposures of witnesses. That's the core of what we can learn from Korea 2016.
One more thing, President Lee that I mentioned above was arrested yesterday, for offending fairness in national policy. This was also affected by citizens' movement that was spread throughout the internet. There is a company named DAS which was the main location where the corruption happened, and when the politicians tried to conceal the tiny evidence that may throw Lee into dishonor, a lot of netizens disclosed the case by writing comments like "So whose is DAS?" all over the internet. The press then started to report this issue importantly, and now he is in the prison! Even the former president can be punished and sent to jail in Korea. I suppose this is quite different from Japan, and China, where people are less interested in politics than Korea.
When I look into Korean internet, I somewhat get confused by the fact that so many people have so many harsh arguments in many different places about the politicians they dislike, but I also feel positive about how these common people consider politics very important.
@K Takezo ?

Looting is stealing... It is never justifiable.. ✌️
True democracy is when people do whatever is necessary to achieve peace and justice. Not saying looting or violence is good, but when institutions are forcibly upended, violence comes. In protest to high taxes and systematic violence, revolutionaries dressed as Native Americans, raided Boston Harbor, and dumped the equivalent of a million dollars of tea into the ocean. No political change has come peacefully in the United States, violence, anger, murder, and numerous other things are the causation and result of meaningful political change and ideological revolution. It is not until the platform of the powerful is threatened through outrageous acts, that real change will come.
There have been massacres in the past where a whole city was killed. That was along time back. Sad though.
@@muircat13 the problem is that most, or a lot, of the looting and violence are just violent looters who are not protesting and only taking advantage of the situation. If protesters/peaceful protesters are looting and causing violence to one another then that's messed up, but any violence per se, is directed at the police. At least that's what I've seen. It's like you have 5 different groups present during all of these... "Good" cops, bad cops, peaceful protesters, bystanders, and violent looters. It's all just crazy
Looting is just the default of America whenever society breakdown. Lots of coups in Thailand, lots of typhoons in Philippines, massive protest gathering in s.korea but NO looters
"No reports of Violence"

We Americans don’t “see” each other as “family.” We’re all different but we haven’t fully overcome them yet.

“Unite and Build.”

Majority of us all have nothing in common except the fact that we are “Americans.” That we are suppose to be united no matter our differences. And sadly we all keep forgetting that.

I took part in that historic moment 😢 If citizens unite in a peaceful way, they will succeed.
In Norway we just gather a few 100 people with signs saying "enough is enough", stand there a few hours and then walk home and hope for the best lol
but do change happen when you just stand there for a few hours?
That actually sounds good. You make your point and get on with your lives. ^^
Icky Elephant only if the government actually listened after that. In the us the gov would just disregard that
@@A-Wa Oh its kinda mixed, but in many cases it has been flat out ignored. I think Norwegians in general are more comfortable to express their opinion on the internet in most cases.
Lmaooo
That’s because culturally they are more conscious about each other & think of one another
Nahh not really. As Korean we tried to make it peaceful as possible cuz ppl who does not agree with this protest will just gain more power. Like if us protesters keep up what they are doing rn then the racists will be just get more prejudice and more conservative
Koreans are more united because everyone is the same race. They see each other as family with the culture, traditions, and ideas. America is divided because of multiculturalism, people don’t trust each other, self segregate, and have different cultures, different ideas, people just can’t relate with one another.

No, they don't.
@MK JOE well.. yea, they surely was against the authority quite violently back then, because you could die protesting. There was torturing, gunshooting, killing. But they never looted some random hair salons or supermarkets to get some items.
I attended these protests, not to protest myself but just to witness it. I was amazed at how civilised it was. No violence, no damage to property and open to all people including kids. I was so proud of Korea while at the same time feeling a bit of shame while remembering how people have acted in protests in my own country. What must the Koreans think when they see how we are willing trash our own countries as a protest.
Appalled
Yeah its embarrassing
There’s a saying by the late US President, John F. Kennedy:
“Those who make a peaceful revolution impossible make a violent one inevitable.”
Clearly, the South Korean govt didn’t make a peaceful demand for change impossible. Their voices were heard, so in this country and in this case, a peaceful revolution worked. Violence is sometimes necessary (in my opinion), but this was not one of those times.
I was there too, we were singing together, having mini-concerts, making a giant 'wave' by putting candles in the air, etc. It was truly remarkable, almost surreal. I think this experience has left something in all of us who were there - a lasting sense of empowerment, unity, and responsibility.
this is truly South Korea, always work hard to make things look ideal and create an ideal society image of devoted and nice enthusiastic ppl..

@@neurophilosophers994 r u bot? You're saying exactly same thing at many comments..
good luck trying to "VOTE" your way out of oppression. it hasn't worked then and won't work now. do you hear yourself? you sound brainwashed, you act like voting will stop innocent people from getting brutalized from police. if you really want to make a change People need to STOP voting and participating in the shit show. they must demand that democrat or republican will not be voted for until black people stop being killed. that will get there attention asap.
@@John289474 that is the only way for democracy to die. A system of oppression is always born when it's citizens of a democracy fall asleep at the wheel. While America was distracted with its own prosperity, corrupt politicians slowly and quietly destroyed our democracy.
Can we seriously repost this to show how a "peaceful protest" looks like?
We should
yes!!! i wa sthinking of sharing this on my instagram page. People definitely should see this
All the protests in America are peaceful and non violent.. but then the police turns up and sprays tear gas and shoots rubber bullets at the protestors eyes. The police is the problem not trh protesters
I also don’t see policemen gunning them down with rubber bullets and tear gas for their “peaceful protesting” 🤔🤔🧐
@@ismayonnaiseaninstrument491 also not arresting thousands of people just because they are protesting peacefully

I love korean movies I have been able to watch lately. In many cases, they are better than what we have here in the US. They also have great music. Now these awesome protests. Keep up the great work Korea.🇰🇷
its simple. loving nation :)
north korea: tries protesting:
*DEATH*
This is a protest. United in goal, civil and considered toward others. But you cannot really expect that from many countries. The Korean are a special people.
Yes agreed.. But Americans are not united. Those looters and radical protestors are another kind.. Some Americans have disciplined, many dont have.. ,😅✌️
Wow now that’s what I call a protest with class.
Their culture is so amazing. I love them. 💕
South Korea, your resolve and unwaivering faith to your victory have been admirable. mansae.
This is the most peaceful protest in south korea, no guns no violence just use candles and inflatable sharks
This is what a protest demand, unity with peace. Other country should take it as a example. Voilence is of no use when you want your thing to get accepted.
They don’t have to worry about guns and people getting shot... that eliminates a lot of the anxiety.. I wouldn’t want my children going into an American riot... but Korea, it’s extremely safe
First of all u shouldn't bring children into protest anyway
Korean protests are peaceful not because of gun control. It has nothing to do with guns. In the past Korean protests were very violent as well but in a democratic society violent protests aren’t needed and we’ve grown out of that.
America on the other hand will find it hard to reach that level mainly because western liberals pity the rest of the world and think of themselves as morally superior by sympathizing and justifying the rioters.
TheAnalysis2 I said it removes a lot of the anxiety, not that it is the only reason why they are peaceful...
And when you mention past demonstrations in Korea being violent, are you referring to (for example) Gwangju in the early 80s? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Korea was a military dictatorship (and not a democracy) until ‘87. Please double check your history and facts. After the people achieved democracy, Koreans have used their rights pretty peacefully, and don’t behave like Americans.
America also tried that but y’all wouldn’t know anything about the peaceful protest that MLK lead in the 1960s because y’all don’t wanna research anything before you open your mouths. They were hosed down, (some actually died) people spat in they’re faces, BEAT THEM HALF TO DEATH. The peaceful protesting finally ended when they killed the leader of the peaceful protesting (shot him in the head) and that’s when the rioting started. Our nations are completely different. What works in your nation won’t work in ours. And I’ll also remind you that when we did peaceful protest against our president, nothing changed. He’s still in office. So that should tell you something 😂😂😂.
@@ismayonnaiseaninstrument491 You say these people are speaking before they do their research, yet it seems like you've become very certain that it won't work in America without doing your research of protests in Korea. The protest of democratic uprising of May 18, 1980 was literally a masacre. Soldiers were shooting down protesters who had no guns or whatsoever. The protest couldn't even be spread through the media because the president censored all of them. Yet, here we are, protesting peacefully, knowing that it has stronger message than violence. I'm not saying that the same will certainly work there, but please don't judge that we protest like that because we've never desperately fought to make our voices.
This is what a protest should look like, Americans should take notes instead of burning some store down
@ Central Intelligence Agency , ask obviously, Like Americans right now need to take note

Gotta say, I fully respect Koreans. From peaceful protests to worst chaos here is not good.. USA needs to do the exact protest AS South Korea...
If not we need you South Korea, to teach us(USA) what an actual peaceful protest is..
On top of it all, I’m impressed with how clean they kept the streets
This is how America should do it...
American protests are normally peaceful. This one is different and that’s why it’s all over the news. This isn’t about a corrupt government official. We’re protesting for police to stop getting away with murdering innocent people. The violence didn’t start with citizens, it started with the police
Rhayne Lyte how do you know what race they are lmao? Unless by “lot of you” you’re implying killing human beings off wholesale, might be inclined to agree with you there. Just a reminder, you’re a human being with agency! Why don’t you just go through your own town today and slaughter people as you see fit? I’m certain no one would see fit to do anything about it and then you can make it back here and tell me how you did! After all, the universe revolves around you and your beliefs
@Rhayne Lyte look dear, this is a big portion of what's wrong with this country; The portion whom think they know what's best for others through violence or think that they're better than other humans for some "birthright" reason, feeding injustice directly. It's the same thing with those who are looting stores, they think that they can take advantage of these protest because they think that they are entitled to luxury items, then others follow them like a herd because they don't really care about equality but rather themselves at the moment. So you are showing that you don't care for equality or simply lack empathy for some psychological reason because you think that, "the whole lot of [people doing protest in america] should be put down." Honestly, do you want to see more blood and brutality on the streets because people had enough blood and meaningless death and brutality? If you mean to be humane in nature, you should start thinking "we should work harder to cleanse the spirits of stress and anger on the streets by doing what's correct, blood should not be spilled meaninglessly, nor life lost to another human by cruel and unreasonable actions. We must change this country's mindset and systems for the better once and for all, if we are to survive this pandemic together."
Blessed be your soul with grace, your mind with clarity, understanding, and unity, and your body with health and immunity from the virus.
I am not good at english, but I want to say something about this mass protest in South Korea. We have a experience of peaceful protest, which is called 3.1 independence movement about 100 years ago. We were colonized by the Empire of Japan, then so many people were taken advantage of as soldiers, workers, etc. Now, We face the biggest national politic scandal. Many citizens are protesting against Park with precious experience for her resignation. On December 3rd, I was there, and press announced that it was the largest protest among 6 protest that have been happend during one month. about 1.7 million people gathered to Gwang Hwa square, and it was 2.3 million people in whole country. Thanks to this, I was able to see what democracy is, and I also felt being brave, not frustrated. I hope that we can last this protest in piece until president Park step down. And I also hope that South Korean will be able to live in free, rational, and prosperous country. Thank you for your reading this despite of my low english skill. I hope you all the best.
Thanks ^^
I salute the South Koreans for their unity! Very impressive and inspiring protest!!
At least the OLDER style of demonstrations by fighting with the Korean Police and toppling the Korean police vans were not present.
I read Seoul Police force Had BLOCKED Large farmers' tractors coming from countryside from entering Seoul City, because people from the countryside can be very violent at demonstrations, right?

As a South Korean, I kinda adore America's freedom and I think it's pretty cool, but at same time, I think a plenty of American citizens often don't distinguish between freedom, disorder, and selfishness. I don't know why protesters in America behave violently. they are from the same country though. Anyways, I want American protesters to respect each other and be safe. Greetings from Seoul.
The reason protestors are being violent is because;
Police have been arresting journalists for *QUOTE* "Being with CNN" and did not release them until CNNs CEO called the governor of Minnesota and threatened him.
Police have been shooting rubber bullets at journalists for no reason.
Police go up to people's cars and shatter the windows and slash the tires and taze them 3 times for not getting out of the car while physically denying them from opening the door.
Police shot tear gas at peaceful protestors so Trump could take a picture.
Police shoved an elderly man to the curb where he bled to death as they stopped anyone from aiding him, and after the officer that pushed him was suspended, 57 other officers resigned because they felt that the man was a threat and dealt with properly.
I hope for the same

Alot of the US protesters are loud, intimidating & violent.
They like to block traffic too.
So when police arrest them, they cry police brutality.
@@productionkos8816 People in other countries block traffic too, but they don't get shot at, or beaten, or tear gassed. Intimidating and violent go for both sides here.

😂😂😂😂 hahaha CJ
As a South Korean we have a long history of protesting. It leads back to the era when Japan conquered Korea. We fought to get our country back. Also, few decades ago we protested for our civil rights due to dictators who didn't promise democracy to the people. In the beginning it wasnt always this peacful, there were protesters(mainly university students) who were tortured and mysteriously killed by the police. There were severe amount of violence that wee invoked by the police in the protest itself too. This has always been a problem and since then, the people and the police has found peace with it. Our peaceful protests are a result of painful but thankful history from what the former generation had paved. I just wanted to acknowledge that.
The allies had a lot to thank Korea for since Korea fought Japan tooth and nails and launched offensives, bombings, and assassinations against the Jaoanese. By the time WW2 rolled over in the Pacific, the Japanese army had so many inexperienced officers because they quickly replaced the experienced ones that the Koreans killed.
thanks for this comment, helped to my homework a lot.
This is so wholesome to me because I’m from the US and seems like violence and ignorance go first when protesting against something.. Props to South Koreans, they set an example I dream to see in the US 😅🙂
skoo woP I dream to see it too!
Especially right now
LOL, set an example.....let me set out some SK examples for you ..... Gwangju massacre, Samchung re-education camps, Vietnam War, Spy cams, Park Chung-hee and his daughter, Burning Sun, Nth Room. List goes on. I feel bad for whats happening in your country, but protests are heavily regulated in SK. You need permits and planning documents, or out comes the riot squad. Not a nice scene when this happens, ran into one at Seoul station.
They have a more corrupt government now than before unfortunately this was recommended by RUclips’s algorithm as propaganda to try and make people more peaceful
It’s a homogenous society!! Is one reason. Another is they’ve been raised to be respectful!
Also the police didn't shoot at CNN journalists, and arrest them "for being from CNN", releasing them after the CEO of CNN threatened the governor of Minnesota.
Also the police didn't fire tear gas at peaceful protestors so their dear president could take a picture in front of a Church holding a Bible upside down.
Also the police didn't shoot at people that were on their own porch for violating the curfew, which hadn't even started yet.
Also the police didn't shove an elderly man into a curb and left him to die there while stopping anyone from going to aid him, and then being disgusted because people thought that the officers should face a penalty for the murder.
Also the police didn't go to people randomly and shatter their car windshield and physically stop them from leaving their car, and then taze them 3 times for not leaving the car, while one of them slashed the tires on the car.
But naw, it's all because they're homogeneous.
notice how the cops didn't use tear gas and rubber bullets, And there's no violence ✨
Also, no one trying to drive cars through them. And no anti-protest people giving dumb responses like, "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes."
@@GoofRebelMusicmaybe that's because they are protesting a valid cause instead of a fake issue. If you try to protest by blocking a major road, I'm going to put the pedal down. Get off the road dumbasses.
