Guys she’s a KOREAN RUclipsR, so she ‘ s more confortable talking with her own language!! So what’s the problem? And she made the effort to add the subtitles in EN. Great work Jina keep it up.
What Nesurin said. I really appreciate you taking the time to write the eng subs, but speak in whichever language YOU are comfortable with. Love what you're doing. Subscibed today :)
SugarVomitNess - Both those states are each at least as big as Korea. If you're going to Manhattan, there's Central Park. Depending on when you go, there are a LOT of things goin on there. Then there are restaurants and things all over the place. The more public and clean it is the better off you are. Upstate, not real sure. Cali? I've only been there once and I was in the LA area the whole few months I was there. But there are all kinds of things. I know this is kind of a cop out, but the best bet would be to ask some of your friends that have already been to those places or find a travel agent there in Korea who specializes in the cities you want to go to. They can do things like avoid 3 hour long lines to see the Statue of Liberty and can recommend restaurants in the areas you plan to be in. It costs more, but if they have a good reputation, they've already got the lay of the land and can save you a lot of headaches.
Lol peoples are watching korean youtubers and are wondering why they are speaking korean?....this World -_-! Thank you Jina for the hard work doing suptitels i love your chanel and the way you do this
I wonder if that is just because of the language setting on youtube though, like, if I were watching this video and I had my language setting on korean, would the title appear in korean, or did she type the title in english? Either way, the subtitles were enough for myself.
First time I saw any of your videos. Very well done, you look and act like a very nice, sweet young woman. I enjoyed it very much. I will look up your other videos. I do enjoy you speaking your own language and you obviously put a lot of work into them. I find the subtitles more than adequate. As for tipping even I am sometimes confused by that. Servers get 15 to 20 percent of the check total before tax. You tip hair people 20 percent too. The barista thing confuses me because it's just coffee not a meal and I'm standing in line not sitting, soooo, confused. People tip for a lot of services on the east coast as I understand. In the Midwest where I'm from, not so much. We expect you to do what you're hired for without expectation, if you get tipped great but expect no.
its kinda hard to describe America as whole based on one city since its so big and so diverse. literally every state has different customs from each other lol
True!!! I've been in Texas my whole life and when i went on vacation in Philadelphia it looked really different from Texas because i never see many tall buildings in Texas!!! And i also went on vacation in Las Vegas it also looked really different...
What is great about living in the US is that since it is such a large country, you will get different experiences by visiting different regions. Fashion, culture, people all can change even the moment you cross into a neighboring state. Glad to hear you had a great time in New York and Boston, and make sure to check out other parts of the country when you get the chance!
"...I was really sick when I was in the States..." Ohhhhh I know where this is going already. In America, the only thing worse than death is the medical bills.
That's why you receive insurance for practically every job you work at and why foreigners can pay for traveler's insurance. Paying out of pocket is a huge cash sink but insurance helps a lot in many cases
@ Less and less jobs offer insurance of any kind every year. Itd be far, FAR better if we had a universal healthcare system. There's a reason every developed nation but us has one
It's funny that you say that you were in Boston in New York and people talk to strangers and give them compliments. People from the Southern United States consider Northerners to be rude because they don't have casual conversation as often!
I am from the Deep South and we not only talk to strangers..we hug you and ask how are you doing..we compliment others and will ask you where did you buy something if we like it..if you are short in the checkout line..sometimes people will pay the rest for you..we ask about your family..what school you went to..not to talk to or help someone is considered rude and an embarrassment to your mother...older people even not related to you are referred to as mama or mame ..older men pops or uncle...hope you visit the south one day...#New Orleans#the Big Easy..😁😁😁😁
Ren Bond I lived in New York for a year and they were easily the nicest people I’d ever met. After that I moved to Ohio (Midwest, where I currently live) and the difference was honestly such a shock, people here were so rude and closed off, I hated it. But now I’m used to it I guess 🤷🏾♀️
When she said she was itching when she peed i knew exactly what she meant. UTIs suck. I only had 1 before and it feels like you have to pee bad all the time plus itching all day and it's painful to pee :(
your english is perfect, girly!! you don't have to apologize. it's really cool that you're interested in visiting the u.s. since it's such a big country there's many different things to see, especially depending on if you're more interested in cities or nature. but i think the top places are always los angeles or new york. but the grand canyon is a must-see in my opinion, too. it's one of the most beautiful places i've ever been.
If you get sick in America, urgent cares can be pretty expensive. I would recommend a minute clinic inside of a store like CVS or Walgreens, they can have someone check very basic things for you. After that, a local community health center, although the wait will probably be very long. Otherwise, try to bring medications with you or a traveling health insurance
waaavychips way too expensive i have one kid pay about $2,000 a year on average I have health insurance was great four years ago never paid a dime what happened hmmmnn. Jk I know exactly what happened ignorance is bliss couldn't keep my Dr btw
You never paid a dime, because the taxpayers paid for you. What "happened" is the tax paying voters woke up and voted for someone who lets them keep more of their money. Nothing is free. If you got free healthcare, it is because someone is working their butt off because the government is forcibly taking their money to pay for you. Pay your own way.
Well technicly she also paid for it with her taxes. That's the beauty of free healt care: everyone pay a little so everyone can have acces to it without ruining yourself.
I had great health insurance about...9 years ago. Yea then that went to shit and now im paying an insane amount per month. Wonder what happened there huh? Someone went and fucked with the private healthcare.
If she would have visited the states before Obamacare she wouldn't even have commented on the price of health care.. P.S. I'm native American so my kids and I dont pay anyhow.. because, ya know.. treaties and all.. but my wife still get screwed on healthcare costs..
If you come to NYC during fashion week it's a different story . But yeah the rest of the time most people don't wear high end fashion here it has a lot to do with the cost of living here.
I'm always curious what makes everyone's situation different in terms of health care. I can't formulate my own opinion on the system because I am not too well educated on it, but I'm a bit confused because when I go to the doctor, I only have to pay a 20$ Co pay. And if I have tests done it's usually only another 15$. Im just not familiar where these different circumstances/ perspectives derived from...
The amount you pay when you go to the doctor largely depends on your plan. Even if two people have their insurance through the same provider (for example, Blue Cross Blue Shield) they may have different copays or coinsurance depending on what their employer offers or if they purchased the plan on the ACA Marketplace. The goal of an insurance company is to make money, so a cheaper individual plan might charge $35 copay to see a doctor, while a pricier plan through a large company-where the company is footing a large part of the total bill-might charge $15. Those elements, like the copay, deductible, and coinsurance are usually plan-specific. There’s also a difference in the fees that each insurance provider has negotiated with the doctor. Let’s say that you and I both have plans that pay 80% of any lab work. We both get a CBC, which the doctor bills at $250. But maybe my insurance company says a CBC actually costs $200. And yours says it’s $220. We’re both paying 20%, but we’re ultimately paying different amounts. This doesn’t even get into the taxpayer-funded plans. They’re similar, but also different. (I worked at a Medicare call center for about two months, 5 weeks of which was just learning the ins and outs. I could probably dredge those memories up if need be, but I’d rather not.) That’s probably more info than you needed. ;)
Another thing about America is how large it is, which means it’s like a whole new country when you go North, South, East, or West. People dress more casually in the East like Boston and New York, but if you go to the Western part of the US, you will get a very different story. Not only is the dress style different, but the weather and culture is massively different as well.
People dress wayyyy more casually on the west coast than east coast. It's common to see men dressed in just shorts and a t shirt out west, whereas suits are very common on the east coast
That's interesting. I grew up in California and I would be surprised if someone didn't wear a bra outside the house. But if you have smaller boobs it would be easier to do so without notice. All the other stuff I totally agree with though. Having lived in Korea for awhile, I usually experience reverse culture shock when I'm visiting the US. Tipping and small talk with strangers take some getting used to, and also the amount of open space and the slower pace of life in my hometown vs. Korea. I try to get medical stuff done in Korea, since I no longer have insurance in the US and Korea is generally cheaper. I do really appreciate the diversity that is represented and embraced in California though. Although it varies by area and personal experience, I grew up around people with different skin colors, body types, styles, etc. and diversity was usually celebrated. I also feel more comfortable dressing casually in public in CA, while in Korea I feel more self conscious about what I wear. My mind has become a strange mix of both cultures.
You want to see stylish, go to California. They live and breathe fashion! East coast people are kinda chill, so we dress down a lot. Nothing too fancy.
Jessica Chen true! I live in Orange County and I can assure you we just dress normally, a bit trendy but for the most part it’s like Brandy Melville threw up on us
Mingzhu I live in OC as well! About an hour or two from LA. A lot of people in my area dress really nicely, but I usually go all out with my outfits lol.
"He thought I was a musician because of my skirt was really beautiful" I'm sure it was but he was probably just thinking YOU are beautiful and used the skirt as a scapegoat lol!
TRUE! LOLI am white and have an Asian wife....I really don't have asian fever....but i do find asian women exceptionally gorgeous....sorry....no qualms.
@@flinx649 Hey man, you do you. Who cares if you do like Asian women, or Black women, or Latinas, or anyone. Your life, your preference. Nothing to be sorry for. Screw those people who say shit. Also, I have to because of your profile picture... "Oh, hamburgers!" :P
LOL! "I felt that I shouldn't get sick in the States" Yess! This is what everyone living in the States feel like... lol Thank you for sharing your experience. There are Pros but also lots of Cons about the U.S.
I'm English but everytime I go on holiday somewhere it's so easy to play 'spot the American' because so many of them seem to just dress in athleaisure wear or like cargo shorts. I actually don't think the majority of the US is that fashion minded. Obv this is just a generalisation but when I went over there to do camp America all the kids kept questioning me as to why I was 'so dressed up' but I was just wearing stuff I wear everyday around England. If you want to see more eclectic clothing worn day-to-day I'd visit London not the East Coast of the US
American Personal Fashion Standards have really kind of deteriorated past casual and heading towards hobo at an ever accelerating rate in the past 20 years. It began with "Casual Fridays" at work and seemingly devolved to "Please for gods sake at least wear pants in the office!". At this point outside of certain high level career professions such as Lawyers or business executives more formal dress has largely been abandoned outside of weddings, funerals and church on Sundays.
Compared to the US...most other countries are very, very class conscious. Social status is not as important in the US as it is in many other countries. In class conscious societies people tend to use their clothing to signal their wealth and social status. In the US...showing off your wealth is considered tacky. And buying expensive clothing is considered a waste of money. Just think about Mark Zukerberg and Steve Jobs. Two of the wealthiest men on Earth...but they wear black t-shirts and hoodies. Warren Buffet drives a pick up truck...not a Ferrari. In the US you're supposed to treat everyone the same. Wealthy or poor. So Americans really don't feel the need to over do it when comes to clothing. We prefer our clothes to be functional.
@@ignaciofuentes2642 That's not really the point I was making. Funky fashion isn't about money. I was talking about the kind of fun outfits made of eclectic bit n bobs from charity shops and wacky cardigans people crochet for themselves. I was thinking of the Bristol fashion scene or like east London. Also the US is the most money obsessed nation around so I'm not sure your point stands very true
When a stranger gives you a nice compliment, like what you experienced, you should "pay it forward" which means you yourself should then give a compliment to a stranger- in this way, you spread the love and happy feelings. :)
I love engaging in conversation with random people. 85 percent of the time they are just as friendly and open to engage in friendly dialogue. Of course you should read the person and back off if they do not want to chat. So many people out there you can make friends with.
Anyone who's coming from a country outside of the US and wants to feel the fashion experience, go to California. Reason being is Hollywood makes most of America's movies, and Hollywood is based in California. So a lot of the fashion you see in the movies are more of a California thing.
I've never been in Cali but I lived in Portland my whole life and have to say I see so many people dress up here, I live in the southeast area but most people will dress up towards downtown. Then again, if you go in the winter it'll just be hoodies... maybe it's just me
I agree, to a point. Santa Barbara, San Francisco, parts of L.A., Orange County, and some of the Silicon Valley cities have A LOT of everyday fashionistas.
lol, just getting my teeth clean cost around $50 out of pocket and this with dental insurance. If I do a last minute cancellation for my dental appointment, my dentist will charge me $150.
Good forbid you have to go to ER without insurance just a 5 min visit where they just write a prescription for your pain is over $700 (speaking from experience).
Maybe you should try California. There is a large Korean population there. But Phoenix and Albuquerque will give a totally different view. Texas yes yet some else. We could keep you traveling for a life time....
Knut Der Große oooh.. i wouldn’t recommend her going to albuquerque. shes soo beautiful, she’ll get mugged quick! maybe try Las Cruces, NM or El Paso, TX!
Seoul imo definitely had higher fashion standards than in NYC. Whenever I want to dress cute in NYC/Boston, I had friends ask me why I was so dressed up for. My international Chinese friends tend to dress way more high fashion than the common person. My bf also felt the pressure in Seoul to not dress in his typical hoodie and sweats. We got the feeling that the better we were dressed in Seoul (especially as tourists), the better we were treated!
Life is the USA is too hard to be glamorous all the time. Movies have it all wrong. Too much grinding in the big cities in the US. I didnt see that many fashion in the NYC subways either.
I found the video at random, I live in the states and thought this would be interesting to watch. I'm happy that you enjoyed your visit over here, and concerning tips, don't worry. It's weird for us too, the waiters and waitresses are paid less than the average wage and they make most of their earnings through tips, sadly. And for bras, from a male perspective, I think they're more for supporting large breasts rather than hiding the nipple. To help girls so they don't develop back pains. And talking to strangers, it really depends on each person, most people just go about their business. It's not considered rude to have conversations with random people, and people generally have kind things to say, especially to visitors from abroad. Again, I'm happy that you enjoyed American culture, I myself would love to experience Asian culture sometime in my life.
Hahahaha. No silly billy, busty women get back pains FROM the bra due to the straps digging into us. Ah well. Men continue to talk about things they don't understand, more at 11.
@@user-ru3zw6lz9h The female equivalent might be women complaining about "man spreading", not realizing that sitting that way (within reason) is actually required by male biology. Our hips are angled differently and we have "tender bits" that get crushed if we try to sit like women do.
i am american, and it's true i don't wear bras unless it's a sports bra for running, and i'm an american size d. i don't like wearing them, and i got over the fact that one of my boobs is bigger than the other a while back. i don't have time to care what other ppl think of my boobs lol
and i do wear too casual of clothes lol i went to my professor's office hours today in a one-piece pajama with a hoodie over top because it's cold. maybe a bit underdressed, but i didn't have anywhere else to be today
That’s why us poor people when we get sick we usually drink Advil or Tylenol and eat soup while we still go to work because just Incase we die we left some money behind !
@@riorio745 Right, so the ACTUAL definition of someone being "woke" is a person who notices and acknowledges the issues happening to other groups of people, particularly people of color or people in the LGBTQ+ community, who have been the victims of discrimination, prejudice, or racism in some way during their existence. They attempt to be an ally to those people or groups to show that they 1) aren't alone, 2) care what happens to them, and 3) will try to help fix those wrongs so that we can move forward in a more open and accepting society. One such example is that of wearing bras for women. Women in the U.S. (and clearly other places) are sick of being told they have to wear bras, which I'm to understand are super uncomfortable and restricting, because they have boobs which for some reason are considered sexual organs by people and think they need to be covered up. A couple years back there was a movement by women to "free the nipple", basically saying to stop shaming women for not wearing bras or breastfeeding in public. It is a completely reasonable assertion that women should not need to fear being molested, stared at, looked down upon because they have breasts. They should be free to wear, or not wear, whatever they choose whenever they choose to. Men can walk around without a shirt, why can't women? Some people just can't get over nipples not being a sex organ and think women shouldn't have the right to do whatever they want. It's a complete load of shit. What you just experienced in reading "midgetydeath"'s comment is someone who is closed-minded and thinks that absolutely nothing is wrong in the U.S. and everyone should just shut up about it. He or she is the definition of a conservative asshole (for the record, not every conservative is one, but this person clearly is!) who thinks everything is against white people or straight people, and anyone who tries to help a group that has been marginalized or treated as inferior for years/decades/centuries to have more equality with those who have had it all along, is a fool. They claim there is a saying "get woke, go broke". I'm willing to bet they were oh so clever in creating that themselves. Businesses such as Nike or General Mills or others have seen little-to-no loss in profits after "getting woke".
@@robertfeeley9738 the word "woke" could have lots of different meanings. like the one above ur comment explained or it can be used as a joke or an insult. but in this case it's not.
Ha! The story about the doctor. As soon as you started it, i was like, oh girl no! Don’t go to the doctors here! They kill us with medical expenses. One time last year my friend was having a really bad panic attack at my house and he felt like he was having a heart attack, so we called an ambulance, and the ambulance driver recommended that we just drive him to the hospital ourselves. Because they were like, we can do it, but it’ll cost you $10,000. It’s insane.
Before four years ago I never paid a penny going to the doctor's with my insurance now $150 is the bare minimum for a visit. I'm not going to bullshit, it happened exactly when Obama care happened. The media doesn't talk about it so the average dumb young person wouldn't understand.
It's so nice to hear people's opinions about the country I live in. Most of the time, people have only good things to say, and I hope they are not leaving out the bad stuff just to be polite. Thank you for this video.
skycedi Its cold af most of the time, plus high taxes and hipsters making it more expensive than it already is. The small apartments there don't have a lot of closet space as well xD Tho in summer, you can see many stylish people there (it's the only happy time it is there b/c of vacation 😂😢)
It's so cool that you talk in Korean for these videos, it's very helpful to people trying to learn the language while watching something fun. This was so interesting!
Wow this was so interessting to watch. It would be a great video if you ask koreans on the street what culture shooking things they have seen in the world. Keep going!
I’m American. And the bra thing has a double standard. I have very large breasts, so I feel like I shouldn’t be out in public with no bra on, but people with small boobs can. But I also don’t think people would shame me or anything if I did. I might just get some weird looks. Tipping in America: some restaurants put a “suggested” percentage that they would like to be paid. But you do not have to do it. You can tip anyone what you like, depending on how you thought the service was. It’s seen as rude to not tip anything. Also, not everyone knows this in America, even a lot of Americans. But you should pay the tip in cash and not with a credit card. Because if it’s cash, the waiter gets to keep all of the tip. But if it’s paid with a credit card, it’s usually taxed. The reason we tip people in America is because waiters are not payed a living wage. Which is unfortunate. My mother has worked in the food industry before and they only got paid $6 an hour, where the rest of minimum wage in my state is $7.20 an hour. Also, idk why people complicate the tip for themselves. A lot of people do the math on the actual percentage for the tip. I just pay waiters in whole numbers. For example, $8.00 instead of $7.56.
Ashleysart Attack Tax policy on tip income varies. Some restaurants have automatic gratuity/tip for large parties (6/8/10/etc people). I don’t know if this is a recent policy, but in my current restaurant, the IRS taxes the tip. So the tax portion of the customer bill/tab includes tax on the food and the automatic tip for large parties. That’s double dipping. The customer is being taxed and the employee is being taxed on the tip income. As for tip income the restaurant declares for each employee to the IRS, some restaurants report what’s written on the charge receipt and some report what the employee declares (so the employee may not be declaring 100% of tip income subject to taxation). Employees are supposed to declare all tip income minus tips given to other employees (bussers, bartender, food runner, etc). Of course, most don’t declare 100% but IRS expects a minimum amount based on sales. Otherwise, employees who under declare could be subject to “allocated tips” (IRS adds in an amount based on sales). IRS does this if total tip percentage received by all tipped employees in the restaurant is significantly under reported. For restaurants with a no tipping policy, the “tip” is reflected in the higher price of the food.
Ronald Chan that’s so crazy to me. The double dipping thing. Where my mom works, i don’t think anyone at her job declares any of the tips that aren’t written on the receipts. And her manager doesn’t push them to do it. She’s a food delivery person though. So she doesn’t have to worry about tables or anything like that.
Ashleysart Attack Yeah, when I first found out about that, I thought “that doesn’t seem right” (also disincentive for customer to add additional tip beyond the automatic). Since then, the restaurant policy changed and no longer add automatic gratuity for large parties. Kind of sucks because there have been times where a large party was a server’s (not me yet) only table for the night (and they racked up a large tab) and they got nothing (no tip).
There are a lot of places where workers share tips, whether they are cash or card. Cash tips still have to be entered into the system and in some specific cases tips are dispersed on a ranking system. In these cases it’s actually better to just ask how their tip system works. Workers won’t get offended if you ask.
I know I'm very late in commenting on this, but I loved your comment about how strangers approach and compliment, or just strike up a conversation. People do that a lot in America and it's one of my favorite things about living here. It's seen as friendly, and not rude. It definitely will brighten your day! Sometimes, we even do just a simple smile, to acknowledge another and make them happier.
Wow, i find it really interesting how it'd be considered rude to compliment a stranger in your country o-O I'm getting a culture shock from that too HAHAHA Anyways keep with the good content Jina! I really enjoyed this video
In California you can just pass by someone and throw a quick compliment at them or even have a full on conversation and it’s totally normal. A lot of people are really nice here.
Regarding the bra topic I can just speak for Germany and from the experience of my GFs. Nearly all females wear bras, but its mostly bc of aesthetic reasons. I dont feel like there is any social pressure. But alot of young girls fear epsecially with a bigger cup, that wearing no bra will make them hang earlier. Plus some ladies with small bras use push-ups to emphasize for aesthetic reasons ofc.
its actually if you were the wrong bra size then it will make them sag. If you wear the correct size they won't sag. Not wearing a bra will make them sag
UEBERSICHT In my late teens I dated a well endowed girl, she would never wear a bra. In her early twenties she started getting stretch marks. Some women should wear bras.
Not wearing a bra actually strengthens the pectoral muscles and the surrounding tissue that help keep breasts perky. If you do not work out these muscles because you always wear a bra you will actually sag at an earlier age just like if you do not exercise any other part of your body. You mention Nat. Geo. and you assume it is because of a lack of bras that these women have saggy breast but in reality, it is because these women breast feed their children that their breasts become saggy. Breasts grow when a woman is pregnant and breastfeeding and then shrink back down when the baby is weened. Many women also lose some fat from their breasts when breast feeding which also shrinks the breasts. That creates sag. It has nothing to do with not wearing a bra. Sagging does not cause stretch marks. Extreme changes in the size of the breasts does that, usually during puberty or during pregnancy but it can also happen with gaining weight in general as the breasts are mostly fat. No woman should have to wear a bra unless she wants to wear one, whether she has small or large breasts. Also, maybe it would be good to remember that all body parts start to sag as we get older and not put so much emphasis on women whose breasts are not naturally as perky as they were when she was younger. Bras are not natural, meaning the human body does not require one for any reason other than aesthetics.The only time I hear women say they feel one might be "necessary" is during sports and exercising, but that is more for control and support during very vigorous activity that is not the norm for everyday activity levels. It is not done to prevent sagging or to hide their nipples.
I stopped wearing a bra when they tried to shove me into a 32DDD. That's not a real freaking size, I quit! I've seen plenty of super saggy boobs despite daily bra wearing, and I've seen plenty of big perky bra-free boobs (stripper titties, boo. How strippers got such nice perky titties if they don't wear bras? makes as much sense as nat geo boobs lol). It all depends on collagen, genetics, age, weight, fat/muscle, estrogen/testosterone, reproductive stages, etc.

I always like when people talk about their first time in America and what their experiences were like.
It´s awesome that you're talking about these kind of things like not wearing a bra. Korea is very closed minded and this affects in the majority, to women. There're no enough stereotypes for men to be compared with the ones of women´s. People maybe criticize you, but believe me, you are making a difference for korean women. Keep Spreading your thoughts about freedom for women! #NoMoreStereotypesForWomen !
I don't think I've ever really noticed the "no-bra" thing with anyone here in America that didn't have small boobs. When my boobs were pretty much non-existent, I would sometimes go without one and nobody noticed or said anything. However, you don't see very many people with B-cups or bigger going without. Also, I'm so ashamed of our healthcare system and the fact that we HAVE to tip servers because they aren't paid hardly anything. But I'm glad your stay here was good for the most part! Thanks for making this video, it was very interesting!
Finally!! Been waiting for this video! Loved all the points you made! One thing I noticed while I was in Korea was that everyone is so stylish!!! Coming from the states, people don’t care about dressing up or putting on makeup but while I was in Korea I loved how fashionable everyone looked that I felt that I had to step up my game too 😬😝
Very nice video. I’m actually Native American Indian. Yeah, we still exist😊. But next time come out to Los Angeles. I live about 10 min from hollywoood🤪 we got so much style here. Other states to us Californians is like going to a different planet. No joke. I need to come here next time.Peace, Love And Respect: your new subscriber RunningCoyote✌🏻
@james turd We don't, they only make up about 12% of the total population, and Planned Genocide(parenthood) has been killing their children since its inception.
If you're in an inner city neighborhood with a high crime rate, then yeah, you should be wary and suspicious. But are you telling me that when you're in a relatively nicer area, like a middle class neighborhood, you are worried by a black person just walking by? Someone who is behaving normally and just going about their lives like everyone else? That's ridiculous.
As an American, the no bra thing is very strange. Everyone wears bras, and I’ve never seen someone without one. I personally don’t mind if you don’t, Ive just never seen that here?? Idk I live in Texas so who knows. Also goddamn I’m shaking at how cheap the medical expenses are for you, wth it’s so expensive here. It’s like we get punished twice for getting sick smh
soul-candii yes!! I live in texas too and i see 50/50 people with or without bras but when we get sick we always get in trouble for getting sick because of the money it can cost://
I know people who didn't wear bras. It's not super common, but it happens. My first college roommate didn't wear bras because bras in her size were super expensive.
I do think in some regions it's more common; I live in Colorado & it's very normal to go bra-less-it's also common in California & New York---maybe more liberal states/cities.
I teared up watching this video. One thing I love about the U.S. is how we can be complimentary to strangers. But the novelty of it does not wear off, because it still makes my day to have someone compliment me. You gave me a beautiful perspective of my country, and typically I expect videos like this to be negative. You were honest and positive at the same time, thank you.
I'm glad you had a good time in my country. I'm sad that you saw our medical system up close. Its very expensive as we don't have a universal health care or national insurance, so I can only imagine how expensive it was for you to seek treatment. Also never be scared to ask someone where we got something you might be interested in, we kinda like to brag about finding awesome outfits, especially if we got a good deal on it! :D
could you imagine 4 years undergraduate school, 4 years medical school, 3-7 years residency before you can get a medical license... plus all the school loans? thats 11-15 years of school chances are if you start when your 18 you'll be 33 when you get your license... if you dont get paid an obscene sum after all that whats the point in becoming a doctor?
When we compliment another person, it makes us good. When we receive a compliment it makes us feel good also. So, it is a practical way of increasing good feelings wherever you go.
It's interesting that you saw lots of women not wearing bras, because I live in the u.s and most women wear bras when going out as far as I can tell...occasionally you might see someone without one but I can't even think of one time in the last year when I saw someone without one...maybe its different where you visited? I live in Minnesota. Love your videos btw
Rory Kranz its hella common now in my high school, I hate when guys make fun of the girls. Many girls don't like feeling jailed up in their own flesh, its not even bad to have a free moment. Nowadays you can see people without bra now.
"I can understand some bad comments about her" And I can't really. If You'r following and commenting bad things on a person you don't like then you have a problem, not the one who's posting pictures :P
Thank you for pointing out the differences of our countries. I am sure you also discovered some of the bad differences in the States. I enjoy both perspectives. Keep up the great videos!!
i LOVE these kinds of videos!! listening to your opinions about the difference between Korean and American culture. It's really fun, interesting, and refreshing to watch. I hope you'll upload more of these unnie!
Great video! I couldn't help but laugh at the confusion over tips - it can be a bit confusing for us Americans at times too. While tips are inconvenient, unfortunately most waiters and waitresses here are paid very, very low wages and they count on tips as part of their salary. A general rule I follow is that if you liked the service you should add at least 10% to the bill as a tip. If the service was very good, or there were a large number of people in your group, then it should be at least 20%. Some restaurants will add a tip automatically , so be sure to double check the bill before you sign the receipt or else you could end up tipping twice. Maids, doormen, porters, etc...usually also expect to be tipped at some of the nicer hotels but the amount varies and is usually a flat rate versus a percentage of your total bill. (Although its always nice to leave at least some small tip for your maids regardless of where you stay.)
First video of yours I watched and I’m subscribing! You’re so understanding of our culture and didn’t bash it at all! Thank you for being respectful and so positive ☺️
This was a pretty insightful video. It reminds me of the cultural differences I experienced growing up in the states. I just woke up and randomly clicked this video. Thank you youtube algorithm for bringing me to a wonderful channel to follow
Great video. You should try Europe next time. It will blow your mind. Rome, Vienna, Paris and Milan are my favourites. I also enjoyed Istanbul which is debatable if it's even in Europe. Oh and London where I live.
JamesJ Fisk But the tip culture is not very positive because waiters tend to (passively) push their customers to order fast and leave fast. Of course, they don't literally rush us, but it's bizarre to sit down for a mere TWO MINUTES and they already come back and ask me if I've decided what I'm ordering. Then while eating, they come at least every 5-10 min and ask if everything tastes good or if I need anything (but they're really checking to see if we're done and they can soon get paid and start cleaning the table to prepare to receive the next customers). In places with regular wages, we take our time to order, then call the waiter ourselves when we're ready. We're uninterrupted while eating, and we call the waiter again as we finish and prepare to pay at our pace. We only tend to provide feedback while eating only if the food is bad, anyway, so leave us alone.
I am from Germany and I never been in Korea or America but the way you spoke made me fall in Love with you. You are soooo cute and soft. As a Girl i love you :)
This was so fun to watch. I was aware of some of our weird things like tipping that aren't prevalent in other cultures, but some of these things I didn't realize at all. Wow, I wish we had a better health care system, but that's not likely to occur any time soon with our current administration. Thanks for the great video (: also, speak in whichever language you feel most comfortable doing. I personally enjoy hearing Korean from you as a US subscriber because I'm slowly working to learn Korean and hearing pronunciations while you have the subtitles is really great (:
Funny everyone always blames whatever dope is in office today. If you'd check, the last administration and those complicit idiots in Congress were the ones that mucked it up hardcore and raised costs. Look up insurance premiums pre-ACA and now. Adjust for inflation if you want, it won't matter much. They should have just expanded Medicaid a bit and left the rest alone. Also, if I go to Korea as a foreigner with no insurance, I'm sure a doctor visit won't be $10! Anyway a couple of big reasons reasons our medical care is so expensive: Our medical professionals are extremely well compensated, and they also have extremely high costs (such as malpractice insurance and regulatory burdens). The upshot is we have access to top medical care. Rich foreigners often come to the US for treatment or surgery. We create most of the medical breakthroughs and have access to cutting-edge treatments. The majority of new treatments, medical devices, and prescription drugs originate here, and then other countries piggyback off us. For example Canada sets artificially low drug prices. How do they get away with that? That's because in the US we (and our insurance companies) pay full price. The medical companies make their money off us in order to keep developing new treatments and medicine, and then other nations get to reap the benefits without contributing hardly any money back to cover the cost of development.
I'm glad you learned why most Americans don't go to the doctors until they think they passed the threshold where their life's in mortal danger. P.S. That background music is a little too much.
The most surprising thing you mentioned for me was the compliments! It seems like I'm always telling someone I like what they're wearing or the color of their hair. Usually someone will comment on what I'm wearing in return and everyone leaves feeling a little happier.
It's not. I've lived in Korea and visited there many times. If you go to the hospital in Korea, or a doctor, you must pay for your care before they give it to you. And if you don't have international health care insurance, it is quite expensive (it is still kind of expensive WITH BCBS insurance). Also, they will not feed you or bring you water or anything at all. If you stay in the hospital in Korea, you must have friends or relatives to feed you, bring you a change of clothes, and everything else, because the ONLY thing the hospital will give you is the care you have already paid for. Be careful what impressions you get from videos and stuff - experience is the only real teacher. GO there and know for yourself. Korea is awesome. No better food anywhere IMHO.
@@JeromyBranch Yeah sounds about right. My mother is Korean and explained that the hospital will kick your ass out if you can't pay. People like to bitch about American health care, but some countries have it worse.
@@balzich14 i only think about it this way .... in order to have a universal health care in the states and the free uni/college everyone wants my weekly paycheck will go from being 400 bucks take home after taxes to a number closer to 200 a week id go from losing out on almost 100 bucks a week in taxes to losing almost 300 a week. i see no reason to diminish my weekly income for what is often no more than 1 hospital visit every 3 or 4 years. but i already have insurance coverage because of my fathers insurance plan anyways so i don't pay for the visits about the only thing the useless old man has ever done for me
ShadowPlay what? Are you a Korean citizen? Korea has universal health care system which far outranks us and they pay way less per capita. Korean health care system is way better than the US. US by far has the worst healthcare system compared to other industrial advanced countries and we pay the most and get the least treat meant. No Korean will ever trade their health insurance system with America.
raven nevar absolutely FALSE! There are literally dozens of PUBLISHED research papers by senior economists that detail that it will be far cheaper to to have universal Medicare for all type health insurance system. No one in Korea will ever trade their health insurance for the United States. All advanced countries make fun of the United States on how bad their health insurance is.
You need to try the the southern and Midwest states. Totally different from the east and west coast. Also Houston Texas is the most ethically diverse city in the country!
Rilaccoco America isn't really all that amazing but then again I really want to go to south Korea so I shouldn't judge u 😊 i hope u can visit America some day
I loved your video! Most people I watch who talk about the US are often very rude or don't like the culture, but you were very polite and fun to listen too!
I happened to come across this video by accident but just kept watching. Your personalty and cheerfulness had me smiling the whole time. Thank you for brightening my day. I will continue to watch and also Subscribe! I live in Las Vegas, Nevada in the US. People here in Vegas tend to dress up more then in the east coast where I live for a short time.
I wear D-cup bras, and it's simply uncomfortable to not have the support of a bra when I'm exercising or doing something active. P.S. Korea is cool - I love Clazziquai and DJ Max and Shin Ramyun!
Level headed young lady..Glad you enjoyed your trip tpo America. I enjoyed my time oin Korre but it was a bad time as the war started just a week before I got there..A young Korean girl came to America during the war and became a Dr here in America and she put a new lens ion my left eye and I will always rem,ember vher as she was a lovely lady .

Guys she’s a KOREAN RUclipsR, so she ‘ s more confortable talking with her own language!! So what’s the problem? And she made the effort to add the subtitles in EN.
Great work Jina keep it up.
Jina, use the language that you are comfortable with. you're cute with both languages. see you in next videos xoxo
What Nesurin said. I really appreciate you taking the time to write the eng subs, but speak in whichever language YOU are comfortable with.
Love what you're doing. Subscibed today :)
Korean is a nice language. The North has a harsher accent which works but a Southern accent works as well.
SugarVomitNess - that would depend on where in the U.S. you're going to be. This is a pretty big place.
SugarVomitNess - Both those states are each at least as big as Korea. If you're going to Manhattan, there's Central Park. Depending on when you go, there are a LOT of things goin on there. Then there are restaurants and things all over the place. The more public and clean it is the better off you are. Upstate, not real sure.
Cali? I've only been there once and I was in the LA area the whole few months I was there. But there are all kinds of things.
I know this is kind of a cop out, but the best bet would be to ask some of your friends that have already been to those places or find a travel agent there in Korea who specializes in the cities you want to go to. They can do things like avoid 3 hour long lines to see the Statue of Liberty and can recommend restaurants in the areas you plan to be in. It costs more, but if they have a good reputation, they've already got the lay of the land and can save you a lot of headaches.
When I lived in Korea, every time I complimented someone they were so surprised lol
Lol peoples are watching korean youtubers and are wondering why they are speaking korean?....this World -_-! Thank you Jina for the hard work doing suptitels i love your chanel and the way you do this
itsjinakim I hope you don't feel pressured to though. Only if you want to
I wonder if that is just because of the language setting on youtube though, like, if I were watching this video and I had my language setting on korean, would the title appear in korean, or did she type the title in english? Either way, the subtitles were enough for myself.
First time I saw any of your videos. Very well done, you look and act like a very nice, sweet young woman. I enjoyed it very much. I will look up your other videos. I do enjoy you speaking your own language and you obviously put a lot of work into them. I find the subtitles more than adequate. As for tipping even I am sometimes confused by that. Servers get 15 to 20 percent of the check total before tax. You tip hair people 20 percent too. The barista thing confuses me because it's just coffee not a meal and I'm standing in line not sitting, soooo, confused. People tip for a lot of services on the east coast as I understand. In the Midwest where I'm from, not so much. We expect you to do what you're hired for without expectation, if you get tipped great but expect no.
@Christy Hardy speak for yourself...My wife is Asian for 19 years...I have a good grasp of their culture.
its kinda hard to describe America as whole based on one city since its so big and so diverse. literally every state has different customs from each other lol
América Ávila that's true
From city to city too
Alaska alone is 7 times the size of the UK...
Studio Papa why do you need help iv seen you reply that to multiple other comments
True!!! I've been in Texas my whole life and when i went on vacation in Philadelphia it looked really different from Texas because i never see many tall buildings in Texas!!! And i also went on vacation in Las Vegas it also looked really different...
What is great about living in the US is that since it is such a large country, you will get different experiences by visiting different regions. Fashion, culture, people all can change even the moment you cross into a neighboring state.
Glad to hear you had a great time in New York and Boston, and make sure to check out other parts of the country when you get the chance!
"...I was really sick when I was in the States..." Ohhhhh I know where this is going already. In America, the only thing worse than death is the medical bills.
Perhaps our biggest national embarrassment :(
That's why you receive insurance for practically every job you work at and why foreigners can pay for traveler's insurance.
Paying out of pocket is a huge cash sink but insurance helps a lot in many cases
@ yeah but diesnt it also depend on the individual income and if they can afford
@ Less and less jobs offer insurance of any kind every year. Itd be far, FAR better if we had a universal healthcare system. There's a reason every developed nation but us has one
(Relative passes) well... things cant get any worse :/ *the stampede of the bill coming in*
Goo jina! For understanding culture instead of bashing.
It's funny that you say that you were in Boston in New York and people talk to strangers and give them compliments. People from the Southern United States consider Northerners to be rude because they don't have casual conversation as often!
I am from the Deep South and we not only talk to strangers..we hug you and ask how are you doing..we compliment others and will ask you where did you buy something if we like it..if you are short in the checkout line..sometimes people will pay the rest for you..we ask about your family..what school you went to..not to talk to or help someone is considered rude and an embarrassment to your mother...older people even not related to you are referred to as mama or mame ..older men pops or uncle...hope you visit the south one day...#New Orleans#the Big Easy..😁😁😁😁
Truuueee! That would be the real culture shock!
I love when people say I'll buy it for you for some reason I feel loved
Ren Bond I lived in New York for a year and they were easily the nicest people I’d ever met. After that I moved to Ohio (Midwest, where I currently live) and the difference was honestly such a shock, people here were so rude and closed off, I hated it. But now I’m used to it I guess 🤷🏾♀️
Tbh, even though Im a northerner, I agree
I had no idea what you meant by cystitis until you talked about the symptoms! We typically call it a UTI! (Urinary Tract Infection)
naaomi I had to Google it 😂
naaomi I just eat a bunch of cinnamon when I have that problem.
When she said she was itching when she peed i knew exactly what she meant. UTIs suck. I only had 1 before and it feels like you have to pee bad all the time plus itching all day and it's painful to pee :(
Lol same I had to Google it 🤣🤣
with insurance in America that medicine is like 10 bucks
Interesting topic. Thanks for English subtitles : )
It was so interesting to see my culture from another perspective!! I really enjoyed the video, keep it up!!
TheClawsomeGhoul wait!!what?? r u Korean...ahh you r so lucky to be in Korea I really want to go there 😮
itsjinakim your welcome but I think I should be the one saying thank ya 😃
your english is perfect, girly!! you don't have to apologize. it's really cool that you're interested in visiting the u.s. since it's such a big country there's many different things to see, especially depending on if you're more interested in cities or nature. but i think the top places are always los angeles or new york. but the grand canyon is a must-see in my opinion, too. it's one of the most beautiful places i've ever been.
This is something I really love: hearing others experience in America!
If you get sick in America, urgent cares can be pretty expensive. I would recommend a minute clinic inside of a store like CVS or Walgreens, they can have someone check very basic things for you. After that, a local community health center, although the wait will probably be very long. Otherwise, try to bring medications with you or a traveling health insurance
Yeah never get sick here its so expensive 😭 Great video though 😊😊
waaavychips way too expensive i have one kid pay about $2,000 a year on average I have health insurance was great four years ago never paid a dime what happened hmmmnn. Jk I know exactly what happened ignorance is bliss couldn't keep my Dr btw
You never paid a dime, because the taxpayers paid for you. What "happened" is the tax paying voters woke up and voted for someone who lets them keep more of their money. Nothing is free. If you got free healthcare, it is because someone is working their butt off because the government is forcibly taking their money to pay for you. Pay your own way.
Well technicly she also paid for it with her taxes. That's the beauty of free healt care: everyone pay a little so everyone can have acces to it without ruining yourself.
I had great health insurance about...9 years ago. Yea then that went to shit and now im paying an insane amount per month. Wonder what happened there huh? Someone went and fucked with the private healthcare.
If she would have visited the states before Obamacare she wouldn't even have commented on the price of health care..
P.S. I'm native American so my kids and I dont pay anyhow.. because, ya know.. treaties and all.. but my wife still get screwed on healthcare costs..
If you come to NYC during fashion week it's a different story . But yeah the rest of the time most people don't wear high end fashion here it has a lot to do with the cost of living here.
I live in the States and have insurance, and I still find doctor visits expensive. It's terrible.
you're not alone on this one.
They always make me pay my $2.00 co-pay before they'll let me in.
I'm always curious what makes everyone's situation different in terms of health care. I can't formulate my own opinion on the system because I am not too well educated on it, but I'm a bit confused because when I go to the doctor, I only have to pay a 20$ Co pay. And if I have tests done it's usually only another 15$. Im just not familiar where these different circumstances/ perspectives derived from...
The amount you pay when you go to the doctor largely depends on your plan. Even if two people have their insurance through the same provider (for example, Blue Cross Blue Shield) they may have different copays or coinsurance depending on what their employer offers or if they purchased the plan on the ACA Marketplace. The goal of an insurance company is to make money, so a cheaper individual plan might charge $35 copay to see a doctor, while a pricier plan through a large company-where the company is footing a large part of the total bill-might charge $15. Those elements, like the copay, deductible, and coinsurance are usually plan-specific.
There’s also a difference in the fees that each insurance provider has negotiated with the doctor. Let’s say that you and I both have plans that pay 80% of any lab work. We both get a CBC, which the doctor bills at $250. But maybe my insurance company says a CBC actually costs $200. And yours says it’s $220. We’re both paying 20%, but we’re ultimately paying different amounts.
This doesn’t even get into the taxpayer-funded plans. They’re similar, but also different. (I worked at a Medicare call center for about two months, 5 weeks of which was just learning the ins and outs. I could probably dredge those memories up if need be, but I’d rather not.)
That’s probably more info than you needed. ;)
@@jamesjfisk4968 thats to stop people from taking up the doctors time witha paper cut.
Another thing about America is how large it is, which means it’s like a whole new country when you go North, South, East, or West. People dress more casually in the East like Boston and New York, but if you go to the Western part of the US, you will get a very different story. Not only is the dress style different, but the weather and culture is massively different as well.
Even just within Texas, there are many regional differences and even accents (not counting those of transplants from other states).
People do not dress more casually at all in the East. In the East it’s about who has the newest clothes and your bullied if you dress bad.
People dress wayyyy more casually on the west coast than east coast. It's common to see men dressed in just shorts and a t shirt out west, whereas suits are very common on the east coast
That's interesting. I grew up in California and I would be surprised if someone didn't wear a bra outside the house. But if you have smaller boobs it would be easier to do so without notice. All the other stuff I totally agree with though. Having lived in Korea for awhile, I usually experience reverse culture shock when I'm visiting the US. Tipping and small talk with strangers take some getting used to, and also the amount of open space and the slower pace of life in my hometown vs. Korea. I try to get medical stuff done in Korea, since I no longer have insurance in the US and Korea is generally cheaper. I do really appreciate the diversity that is represented and embraced in California though. Although it varies by area and personal experience, I grew up around people with different skin colors, body types, styles, etc. and diversity was usually celebrated. I also feel more comfortable dressing casually in public in CA, while in Korea I feel more self conscious about what I wear. My mind has become a strange mix of both cultures.

It's coming back!!!! 😁😁❤❤
You want to see stylish, go to California. They live and breathe fashion! East coast people are kinda chill, so we dress down a lot. Nothing too fancy.
MiKole cause we don’t have that west coast warm weather all year 😂 when it gets cold feel like everyone depressed 😂
definitely LA! not just anywhere in California.
Jessica Chen true! I live in Orange County and I can assure you we just dress normally, a bit trendy but for the most part it’s like Brandy Melville threw up on us
Mingzhu I live in OC as well! About an hour or two from LA. A lot of people in my area dress really nicely, but I usually go all out with my outfits lol.
haha true Mike, but Nor Cal is another story.
"He thought I was a musician because of my skirt was really beautiful" I'm sure it was but he was probably just thinking YOU are beautiful and used the skirt as a scapegoat lol!
TRUE! LOLI am white and have an Asian wife....I really don't have asian fever....but i do find asian women exceptionally gorgeous....sorry....no qualms.
@@flinx649 Hey man, you do you. Who cares if you do like Asian women, or Black women, or Latinas, or anyone. Your life, your preference. Nothing to be sorry for. Screw those people who say shit.
Also, I have to because of your profile picture... "Oh, hamburgers!" :P
LOL! "I felt that I shouldn't get sick in the States" Yess! This is what everyone living in the States feel like... lol Thank you for sharing your experience. There are Pros but also lots of Cons about the U.S.
I'm English but everytime I go on holiday somewhere it's so easy to play 'spot the American' because so many of them seem to just dress in athleaisure wear or like cargo shorts. I actually don't think the majority of the US is that fashion minded. Obv this is just a generalisation but when I went over there to do camp America all the kids kept questioning me as to why I was 'so dressed up' but I was just wearing stuff I wear everyday around England. If you want to see more eclectic clothing worn day-to-day I'd visit London not the East Coast of the US
fun fact the state of Alaska is 7 times the size of the UK...
I'm American and as far as fashion goes I don't think much of it. I dress for comfort, not to fit in with any trends or cliques.
American Personal Fashion Standards have really kind of deteriorated past casual and heading towards hobo at an ever accelerating rate in the past 20 years. It began with "Casual Fridays" at work and seemingly devolved to "Please for gods sake at least wear pants in the office!". At this point outside of certain high level career professions such as Lawyers or business executives more formal dress has largely been abandoned outside of weddings, funerals and church on Sundays.
Compared to the US...most other countries are very, very class conscious. Social status is not as important in the US as it is in many other countries. In class conscious societies people tend to use their clothing to signal their wealth and social status. In the US...showing off your wealth is considered tacky. And buying expensive clothing is considered a waste of money. Just think about Mark Zukerberg and Steve Jobs. Two of the wealthiest men on Earth...but they wear black t-shirts and hoodies. Warren Buffet drives a pick up truck...not a Ferrari. In the US you're supposed to treat everyone the same. Wealthy or poor. So Americans really don't feel the need to over do it when comes to clothing. We prefer our clothes to be functional.
@@ignaciofuentes2642 That's not really the point I was making. Funky fashion isn't about money. I was talking about the kind of fun outfits made of eclectic bit n bobs from charity shops and wacky cardigans people crochet for themselves. I was thinking of the Bristol fashion scene or like east London. Also the US is the most money obsessed nation around so I'm not sure your point stands very true
When a stranger gives you a nice compliment, like what you experienced, you should "pay it forward" which means you yourself should then give a compliment to a stranger- in this way, you spread the love and happy feelings. :)
intx123 Go back to your incel board.
Woman to woman we take compliments and give back.
It can sometimes be a bit uncomfortable when a man gives a compliment, don't take it personal.
hypsens88 I’ve made friends this way 😂💗
Idk about you but every time someone's given me a compliment I either say "Thanks!" or find something about their appearance to compliment.
I love engaging in conversation with random people. 85 percent of the time they are just as friendly and open to engage in friendly dialogue. Of course you should read the person and back off if they do not want to chat. So many people out there you can make friends with.
Anyone who's coming from a country outside of the US and wants to feel the fashion experience, go to California. Reason being is Hollywood makes most of America's movies, and Hollywood is based in California. So a lot of the fashion you see in the movies are more of a California thing.
I live in Cali and there are plenty of girls that just wear yoga pants and oversized hoodies and pajamas when they go out.
no if she wanted to see fashion she should have took a visit to Harlem, almost everyone out of harlem knows how to dress well
I've never been in Cali but I lived in Portland my whole life and have to say I see so many people dress up here, I live in the southeast area but most people will dress up towards downtown. Then again, if you go in the winter it'll just be hoodies... maybe it's just me
This is just... no
I agree, to a point. Santa Barbara, San Francisco, parts of L.A., Orange County, and some of the Silicon Valley cities have A LOT of everyday fashionistas.
American Health Care system is really pain. Every state has different rates! It is why I fixed my teeth in Korea because it was twice cheaper!
I would fear getting ill while being in the US....
Diana Horsfall really??? 😏
lol, just getting my teeth clean cost around $50 out of pocket and this with dental insurance. If I do a last minute cancellation for my dental appointment, my dentist will charge me $150.
I need to get a filling for my tooth. It's gonna cost me almost 200 dollars and that is with insurance.
Good forbid you have to go to ER without insurance just a 5 min visit where they just write a prescription for your pain is over $700 (speaking from experience).
Maybe you should try California. There is a large Korean population there.
But Phoenix and Albuquerque will give a totally different view. Texas yes yet some else.
We could keep you traveling for a life time....
Knut Der Große oooh.. i wouldn’t recommend her going to albuquerque. shes soo beautiful, she’ll get mugged quick! maybe try Las Cruces, NM or El Paso, TX!
LOL at your 4th reaction. I thought people were more high fashion when I visited Seoul compared to NYC haha
Yeah lol. From videos that I've watched, it seems like there's a lot more pressure to look good in Korea than countries like the US
It looks like everyone is Seoul is walking some street style runway
SugarVomitNess NYC and LA (they have large ktown so you might feel more comfortable at least) Have fun!
Seoul imo definitely had higher fashion standards than in NYC. Whenever I want to dress cute in NYC/Boston, I had friends ask me why I was so dressed up for. My international Chinese friends tend to dress way more high fashion than the common person. My bf also felt the pressure in Seoul to not dress in his typical hoodie and sweats. We got the feeling that the better we were dressed in Seoul (especially as tourists), the better we were treated!
Life is the USA is too hard to be glamorous all the time. Movies have it all wrong. Too much grinding in the big cities in the US. I didnt see that many fashion in the NYC subways either.
I found the video at random, I live in the states and thought this would be interesting to watch. I'm happy that you enjoyed your visit over here, and concerning tips, don't worry. It's weird for us too, the waiters and waitresses are paid less than the average wage and they make most of their earnings through tips, sadly. And for bras, from a male perspective, I think they're more for supporting large breasts rather than hiding the nipple. To help girls so they don't develop back pains. And talking to strangers, it really depends on each person, most people just go about their business. It's not considered rude to have conversations with random people, and people generally have kind things to say, especially to visitors from abroad. Again, I'm happy that you enjoyed American culture, I myself would love to experience Asian culture sometime in my life.
Shadowcub “To help girls so they don’t develop back pains” 😂😂😂 omg I’m actually dying rn that’s such a.... male.... thing to say....😂😂
I live in Texas and I've never seen anyone without bras on (unless they are boys of course)
Anna - there is literally no better feeling than taking a bra off 😂
Hahahaha. No silly billy, busty women get back pains FROM the bra due to the straps digging into us. Ah well. Men continue to talk about things they don't understand, more at 11.
@@user-ru3zw6lz9h The female equivalent might be women complaining about "man spreading", not realizing that sitting that way (within reason) is actually required by male biology. Our hips are angled differently and we have "tender bits" that get crushed if we try to sit like women do.
i am american, and it's true i don't wear bras unless it's a sports bra for running, and i'm an american size d. i don't like wearing them, and i got over the fact that one of my boobs is bigger than the other a while back. i don't have time to care what other ppl think of my boobs lol
and i do wear too casual of clothes lol i went to my professor's office hours today in a one-piece pajama with a hoodie over top because it's cold. maybe a bit underdressed, but i didn't have anywhere else to be today
You clearly sound like a sane person.

That’s why us poor people when we get sick we usually drink Advil or Tylenol and eat soup while we still go to work because just Incase we die we left some money behind !
True on that it’s normal here that we only go to the doctor if we have a really high fever even sometimes we don’t
The moment you started the story about visiting a doctor, I thought "Oh no ...." It's awful and I hope it changes in my lifetime.
About bras and your comment. You are what we call in the states "woke." ♥
@@riorio745 Right, so the ACTUAL definition of someone being "woke" is a person who notices and acknowledges the issues happening to other groups of people, particularly people of color or people in the LGBTQ+ community, who have been the victims of discrimination, prejudice, or racism in some way during their existence. They attempt to be an ally to those people or groups to show that they 1) aren't alone, 2) care what happens to them, and 3) will try to help fix those wrongs so that we can move forward in a more open and accepting society.
One such example is that of wearing bras for women. Women in the U.S. (and clearly other places) are sick of being told they have to wear bras, which I'm to understand are super uncomfortable and restricting, because they have boobs which for some reason are considered sexual organs by people and think they need to be covered up. A couple years back there was a movement by women to "free the nipple", basically saying to stop shaming women for not wearing bras or breastfeeding in public. It is a completely reasonable assertion that women should not need to fear being molested, stared at, looked down upon because they have breasts. They should be free to wear, or not wear, whatever they choose whenever they choose to. Men can walk around without a shirt, why can't women? Some people just can't get over nipples not being a sex organ and think women shouldn't have the right to do whatever they want. It's a complete load of shit.
What you just experienced in reading "midgetydeath"'s comment is someone who is closed-minded and thinks that absolutely nothing is wrong in the U.S. and everyone should just shut up about it. He or she is the definition of a conservative asshole (for the record, not every conservative is one, but this person clearly is!) who thinks everything is against white people or straight people, and anyone who tries to help a group that has been marginalized or treated as inferior for years/decades/centuries to have more equality with those who have had it all along, is a fool.
They claim there is a saying "get woke, go broke". I'm willing to bet they were oh so clever in creating that themselves. Businesses such as Nike or General Mills or others have seen little-to-no loss in profits after "getting woke".
Woke is a punk joke
@@robertfeeley9738 the word "woke" could have lots of different meanings. like the one above ur comment explained or it can be used as a joke or an insult. but in this case it's not.
@@mr.osclasses5054 ok 4chan here
you look so cute today!!
Sooah Joo you look so cute aswell.💐
Bruh how do I c ur comments everywhere 😂
much scare it's coz he's dehydrated 😂
i love how open you are to talk about intimate things that other people would be too shy to talk about
Ha! The story about the doctor. As soon as you started it, i was like, oh girl no! Don’t go to the doctors here! They kill us with medical expenses. One time last year my friend was having a really bad panic attack at my house and he felt like he was having a heart attack, so we called an ambulance, and the ambulance driver recommended that we just drive him to the hospital ourselves. Because they were like, we can do it, but it’ll cost you $10,000. It’s insane.
America, land of the free. I'm sure it will be if they preach it enough.
Before four years ago I never paid a penny going to the doctor's with my insurance now $150 is the bare minimum for a visit. I'm not going to bullshit, it happened exactly when Obama care happened. The media doesn't talk about it so the average dumb young person wouldn't understand.
People are free moron. One of those freedoms is not having to pretend were your parents and pay your bills.
Also, you're free to leave at any time.
Arthur Grey Ah yes only an American would try labeling unaffordable healthcare a "freedom"
Think I found the average dumb young person and his name is Arthur gray.
It's so nice to hear people's opinions about the country I live in. Most of the time, people have only good things to say, and I hope they are not leaving out the bad stuff just to be polite. Thank you for this video.
Ahhh as soon as your brought up hospital i was like GIRL I ALREADY KNOWWW. hospital bills are so expensive here :(((((.
Seeing Sulli mentioned 3:48 caught me off guard. In my feelings now.
When I moved from the southern part of the US to the NYC area, I was shocked too at how unfashionable many New Yorkers were too 😂
skycedi theirs a reason why NY is considered to be the fashion capital of America.
skycedi Its cold af most of the time, plus high taxes and hipsters making it more expensive than it already is. The small apartments there don't have a lot of closet space as well xD Tho in summer, you can see many stylish people there (it's the only happy time it is there b/c of vacation 😂😢)
You do see fashionable people, but they work in fashion industry. Everyone else wears what's affordable.
hahaha good observation and good point
foh bitch
It's so cool that you talk in Korean for these videos, it's very helpful to people trying to learn the language while watching something fun. This was so interesting!
Wow this was so interessting to watch. It would be a great video if you ask koreans on the street what culture shooking things they have seen in the world.
Keep going!
What an incredible warm & down-to-earth personality!
I’m American. And the bra thing has a double standard. I have very large breasts, so I feel like I shouldn’t be out in public with no bra on, but people with small boobs can. But I also don’t think people would shame me or anything if I did. I might just get some weird looks.
Tipping in America: some restaurants put a “suggested” percentage that they would like to be paid. But you do not have to do it. You can tip anyone what you like, depending on how you thought the service was. It’s seen as rude to not tip anything. Also, not everyone knows this in America, even a lot of Americans. But you should pay the tip in cash and not with a credit card. Because if it’s cash, the waiter gets to keep all of the tip. But if it’s paid with a credit card, it’s usually taxed. The reason we tip people in America is because waiters are not payed a living wage. Which is unfortunate. My mother has worked in the food industry before and they only got paid $6 an hour, where the rest of minimum wage in my state is $7.20 an hour.
Also, idk why people complicate the tip for themselves. A lot of people do the math on the actual percentage for the tip. I just pay waiters in whole numbers. For example, $8.00 instead of $7.56.
Ashleysart Attack Tax policy on tip income varies. Some restaurants have automatic gratuity/tip for large parties (6/8/10/etc people). I don’t know if this is a recent policy, but in my current restaurant, the IRS taxes the tip. So the tax portion of the customer bill/tab includes tax on the food and the automatic tip for large parties. That’s double dipping. The customer is being taxed and the employee is being taxed on the tip income. As for tip income the restaurant declares for each employee to the IRS, some restaurants report what’s written on the charge receipt and some report what the employee declares (so the employee may not be declaring 100% of tip income subject to taxation). Employees are supposed to declare all tip income minus tips given to other employees (bussers, bartender, food runner, etc). Of course, most don’t declare 100% but IRS expects a minimum amount based on sales. Otherwise, employees who under declare could be subject to “allocated tips” (IRS adds in an amount based on sales). IRS does this if total tip percentage received by all tipped employees in the restaurant is significantly under reported. For restaurants with a no tipping policy, the “tip” is reflected in the higher price of the food.
Ronald Chan that’s so crazy to me. The double dipping thing. Where my mom works, i don’t think anyone at her job declares any of the tips that aren’t written on the receipts. And her manager doesn’t push them to do it. She’s a food delivery person though. So she doesn’t have to worry about tables or anything like that.
Ashleysart Attack Yeah, when I first found out about that, I thought “that doesn’t seem right” (also disincentive for customer to add additional tip beyond the automatic). Since then, the restaurant policy changed and no longer add automatic gratuity for large parties. Kind of sucks because there have been times where a large party was a server’s (not me yet) only table for the night (and they racked up a large tab) and they got nothing (no tip).
There are a lot of places where workers share tips, whether they are cash or card. Cash tips still have to be entered into the system and in some specific cases tips are dispersed on a ranking system. In these cases it’s actually better to just ask how their tip system works. Workers won’t get offended if you ask.
Man, $6? I only got paid $2.50
I know I'm very late in commenting on this, but I loved your comment about how strangers approach and compliment, or just strike up a conversation. People do that a lot in America and it's one of my favorite things about living here. It's seen as friendly, and not rude. It definitely will brighten your day! Sometimes, we even do just a simple smile, to acknowledge another and make them happier.
Wow, i find it really interesting how it'd be considered rude to compliment a stranger in your country o-O
I'm getting a culture shock from that too HAHAHA
Anyways keep with the good content Jina! I really enjoyed this video
Its like that in Europe too xD
In California you can just pass by someone and throw a quick compliment at them or even have a full on conversation and it’s totally normal. A lot of people are really nice here.
Come visit anytime! I love Korea. So clean and polite! Friendly people!
I’m a Korean American and your assessments are pretty accurate....
Any other Americans here because of pure curiosity about what other countries think about certain cultural norms we take for granted??
I got shocked after I watched a video of how different american school is compared to we korean school in a good way
Regarding the bra topic I can just speak for Germany and from the experience of my GFs. Nearly all females wear bras, but its mostly bc of aesthetic reasons. I dont feel like there is any social pressure. But alot of young girls fear epsecially with a bigger cup, that wearing no bra will make them hang earlier. Plus some ladies with small bras use push-ups to emphasize for aesthetic reasons ofc.
its actually if you were the wrong bra size then it will make them sag. If you wear the correct size they won't sag. Not wearing a bra will make them sag
UEBERSICHT In my late teens I dated a well endowed girl, she would never wear a bra. In her early twenties she started getting stretch marks. Some women should wear bras.
Not wearing a bra actually strengthens the pectoral muscles and the surrounding tissue that help keep breasts perky. If you do not work out these muscles because you always wear a bra you will actually sag at an earlier age just like if you do not exercise any other part of your body. You mention Nat. Geo. and you assume it is because of a lack of bras that these women have saggy breast but in reality, it is because these women breast feed their children that their breasts become saggy. Breasts grow when a woman is pregnant and breastfeeding and then shrink back down when the baby is weened. Many women also lose some fat from their breasts when breast feeding which also shrinks the breasts. That creates sag. It has nothing to do with not wearing a bra. Sagging does not cause stretch marks. Extreme changes in the size of the breasts does that, usually during puberty or during pregnancy but it can also happen with gaining weight in general as the breasts are mostly fat. No woman should have to wear a bra unless she wants to wear one, whether she has small or large breasts. Also, maybe it would be good to remember that all body parts start to sag as we get older and not put so much emphasis on women whose breasts are not naturally as perky as they were when she was younger. Bras are not natural, meaning the human body does not require one for any reason other than aesthetics.The only time I hear women say they feel one might be "necessary" is during sports and exercising, but that is more for control and support during very vigorous activity that is not the norm for everyday activity levels. It is not done to prevent sagging or to hide their nipples.
I stopped wearing a bra when they tried to shove me into a 32DDD. That's not a real freaking size, I quit!
I've seen plenty of super saggy boobs despite daily bra wearing, and I've seen plenty of big perky bra-free boobs (stripper titties, boo. How strippers got such nice perky titties if they don't wear bras? makes as much sense as nat geo boobs lol).
It all depends on collagen, genetics, age, weight, fat/muscle, estrogen/testosterone, reproductive stages, etc.
I always like when people talk about their first time in America and what their experiences were like.
It´s awesome that you're talking about these kind of things like not wearing a bra. Korea is very closed minded and this affects in the majority, to women. There're no enough stereotypes for men to be compared with the ones of women´s. People maybe criticize you, but believe me, you are making a difference for korean women. Keep Spreading your thoughts about freedom for women! #NoMoreStereotypesForWomen !
intx123 Bad day?
well, western people don't dress like ''Whore'' so I guess no that's not true.
north korea is already better than south korea is a cultural traditional sense.
minimouette01 Nah they are just real whores.
Lol you are too much as usual, my american friend 😂😂😂
I don't think I've ever really noticed the "no-bra" thing with anyone here in America that didn't have small boobs. When my boobs were pretty much non-existent, I would sometimes go without one and nobody noticed or said anything. However, you don't see very many people with B-cups or bigger going without.
Also, I'm so ashamed of our healthcare system and the fact that we HAVE to tip servers because they aren't paid hardly anything.
But I'm glad your stay here was good for the most part! Thanks for making this video, it was very interesting!
Finally!! Been waiting for this video! Loved all the points you made! One thing I noticed while I was in Korea was that everyone is so stylish!!! Coming from the states, people don’t care about dressing up or putting on makeup but while I was in Korea I loved how fashionable everyone looked that I felt that I had to step up my game too 😬😝
(Im from the US) I never really thought about girls having to wear bras as discrimination before, but now I do...i subbed for this
I don't think there's anything wrong with not wearing a bra, but I would say it's more a matter of social pressure rather than discrimination.
As a college student, I literally never go to the doctor because it’s so expensive...
Very nice video. I’m actually Native American Indian. Yeah, we still exist😊. But next time come out to Los Angeles. I live about 10 min from hollywoood🤪 we got so much style here. Other states to us Californians is like going to a different planet. No joke. I need to come here next time.Peace, Love And Respect: your new subscriber RunningCoyote✌🏻
Oops I menu YOU lol need to come down here next time lol
the tip system in the US confused me so much too 😂😂 but I love the multiculturalism there (and all the different cuisines😋😋) Great video, Jina
@james turd We don't, they only make up about 12% of the total population, and Planned Genocide(parenthood) has been killing their children since its inception.
james turd trash. Move somewhere else then.
I'm sure there are scumbags from all races in your area. That's what you get when you live in a voodoo swamp.
The Jolly Pidgeotto I'm a nice person so it kinda hurts that u would want to stay away from me because I'm black...
If you're in an inner city neighborhood with a high crime rate, then yeah, you should be wary and suspicious. But are you telling me that when you're in a relatively nicer area, like a middle class neighborhood, you are worried by a black person just walking by? Someone who is behaving normally and just going about their lives like everyone else? That's ridiculous.
I adore hearing what people from other countries think about the states. Hearing the differences and such amazing ...
Loved your vid darlin!
As an American, the no bra thing is very strange. Everyone wears bras, and I’ve never seen someone without one. I personally don’t mind if you don’t, Ive just never seen that here?? Idk I live in Texas so who knows.
Also goddamn I’m shaking at how cheap the medical expenses are for you, wth it’s so expensive here. It’s like we get punished twice for getting sick smh
soul-candii yes!! I live in texas too and i see 50/50 people with or without bras but when we get sick we always get in trouble for getting sick because of the money it can cost://
I live in Texas too!!! And i've never seen anyone without bras on!!! (unless they are boys of course)
I know people who didn't wear bras. It's not super common, but it happens. My first college roommate didn't wear bras because bras in her size were super expensive.
I do think in some regions it's more common; I live in Colorado & it's very normal to go bra-less-it's also common in California & New York---maybe more liberal states/cities.
I teared up watching this video. One thing I love about the U.S. is how we can be complimentary to strangers. But the novelty of it does not wear off, because it still makes my day to have someone compliment me. You gave me a beautiful perspective of my country, and typically I expect videos like this to be negative. You were honest and positive at the same time, thank you.
I'm glad you had a good time in my country. I'm sad that you saw our medical system up close. Its very expensive as we don't have a universal health care or national insurance, so I can only imagine how expensive it was for you to seek treatment.
Also never be scared to ask someone where we got something you might be interested in, we kinda like to brag about finding awesome outfits, especially if we got a good deal on it! :D
could you imagine 4 years undergraduate school, 4 years medical school, 3-7 years residency before you can get a medical license...
plus all the school loans?
thats 11-15 years of school chances are if you start when your 18 you'll be 33 when you get your license... if you dont get paid an obscene sum after all that whats the point in becoming a doctor?
When we compliment another person, it makes us good. When we receive a compliment it makes us feel good also. So, it is a practical way of increasing good feelings wherever you go.
It's interesting that you saw lots of women not wearing bras, because I live in the u.s and most women wear bras when going out as far as I can tell...occasionally you might see someone without one but I can't even think of one time in the last year when I saw someone without one...maybe its different where you visited? I live in Minnesota. Love your videos btw
Rory Kranz its hella common now in my high school, I hate when guys make fun of the girls. Many girls don't like feeling jailed up in their own flesh, its not even bad to have a free moment. Nowadays you can see people without bra now.
I live in Boston. Glad to hear you felt confident being yourself. ❤️
"I can understand some bad comments about her" And I can't really. If You'r following and commenting bad things on a person you don't like then you have a problem, not the one who's posting pictures :P
Thank you for pointing out the differences of our countries. I am sure you also discovered some of the bad differences in the States. I enjoy both perspectives. Keep up the great videos!!
i LOVE these kinds of videos!! listening to your opinions about the difference between Korean and American culture. It's really fun, interesting, and refreshing to watch. I hope you'll upload more of these unnie!
I love your views on society and social standards!!! I agree to the fullest!!! Keep it up!!!
Great video! I couldn't help but laugh at the confusion over tips - it can be a bit confusing for us Americans at times too. While tips are inconvenient, unfortunately most waiters and waitresses here are paid very, very low wages and they count on tips as part of their salary. A general rule I follow is that if you liked the service you should add at least 10% to the bill as a tip. If the service was very good, or there were a large number of people in your group, then it should be at least 20%. Some restaurants will add a tip automatically , so be sure to double check the bill before you sign the receipt or else you could end up tipping twice. Maids, doormen, porters, etc...usually also expect to be tipped at some of the nicer hotels but the amount varies and is usually a flat rate versus a percentage of your total bill. (Although its always nice to leave at least some small tip for your maids regardless of where you stay.)
First video of yours I watched and I’m subscribing! You’re so understanding of our culture and didn’t bash it at all! Thank you for being respectful and so positive ☺️
This was a pretty insightful video. It reminds me of the cultural differences I experienced growing up in the states.
I just woke up and randomly clicked this video.
Thank you youtube algorithm for bringing me to a wonderful channel to follow
I love listening to you speak, your voice is very soothing.
#freethenip
Next time try Chicago. You will see so many different cultures all in one city. It’s really amazing to see the different cultures in each neighborhood
Great video. You should try Europe next time. It will blow your mind. Rome, Vienna, Paris and Milan are my favourites. I also enjoyed Istanbul which is debatable if it's even in Europe. Oh and London where I live.
Nathaniel Mills Paris and London are shitholes
I dislike our tip culture. We should just pay a better wage
Lee M.
Wait staff can make much, much more money from a lower salary plus tips than a slightly higher salary and no tips.
JamesJ Fisk But the tip culture is not very positive because waiters tend to (passively) push their customers to order fast and leave fast. Of course, they don't literally rush us, but it's bizarre to sit down for a mere TWO MINUTES and they already come back and ask me if I've decided what I'm ordering. Then while eating, they come at least every 5-10 min and ask if everything tastes good or if I need anything (but they're really checking to see if we're done and they can soon get paid and start cleaning the table to prepare to receive the next customers).
In places with regular wages, we take our time to order, then call the waiter ourselves when we're ready. We're uninterrupted while eating, and we call the waiter again as we finish and prepare to pay at our pace. We only tend to provide feedback while eating only if the food is bad, anyway, so leave us alone.
Fr I've heard of some restaurants who are promoting that and actually pay their waiters good wages that they can put signs that say "no tip"
waiters (men and women) make so much more from tips
And the staff use that fake niceness to get a bigger tip.
Not weird! Everything that Sulli does is awesome!
I am from Germany and I never been in Korea or America but the way you spoke made me fall in Love with you. You are soooo cute and soft. As a Girl i love you :)
This was so fun to watch. I was aware of some of our weird things like tipping that aren't prevalent in other cultures, but some of these things I didn't realize at all. Wow, I wish we had a better health care system, but that's not likely to occur any time soon with our current administration. Thanks for the great video (: also, speak in whichever language you feel most comfortable doing. I personally enjoy hearing Korean from you as a US subscriber because I'm slowly working to learn Korean and hearing pronunciations while you have the subtitles is really great (:
Funny everyone always blames whatever dope is in office today. If you'd check, the last administration and those complicit idiots in Congress were the ones that mucked it up hardcore and raised costs. Look up insurance premiums pre-ACA and now. Adjust for inflation if you want, it won't matter much. They should have just expanded Medicaid a bit and left the rest alone. Also, if I go to Korea as a foreigner with no insurance, I'm sure a doctor visit won't be $10!
Anyway a couple of big reasons reasons our medical care is so expensive: Our medical professionals are extremely well compensated, and they also have extremely high costs (such as malpractice insurance and regulatory burdens). The upshot is we have access to top medical care. Rich foreigners often come to the US for treatment or surgery. We create most of the medical breakthroughs and have access to cutting-edge treatments. The majority of new treatments, medical devices, and prescription drugs originate here, and then other countries piggyback off us. For example Canada sets artificially low drug prices. How do they get away with that? That's because in the US we (and our insurance companies) pay full price. The medical companies make their money off us in order to keep developing new treatments and medicine, and then other nations get to reap the benefits without contributing hardly any money back to cover the cost of development.
Agree.Obamcare did not help. Just raise premiems.
Lol, i like your attitude! These videos are always so entertaining but neat because i prefer an honest opinion about how others perceive my nation.
It really warms my heart to see you speaking Korean.
First you are so enjoyable to watch. Your enthusiasm about your visit and what you found shocking here in the state are interesting. Thank you
I'm glad you learned why most Americans don't go to the doctors until they think they passed the threshold where their life's in mortal danger.
P.S.
That background music is a little too much.
The most surprising thing you mentioned for me was the compliments! It seems like I'm always telling someone I like what they're wearing or the color of their hair. Usually someone will comment on what I'm wearing in return and everyone leaves feeling a little happier.
I was shocked when she said $10 I was like "wow thats cheap, why can't it be cheap here too"
It's not. I've lived in Korea and visited there many times. If you go to the hospital in Korea, or a doctor, you must pay for your care before they give it to you. And if you don't have international health care insurance, it is quite expensive (it is still kind of expensive WITH BCBS insurance). Also, they will not feed you or bring you water or anything at all. If you stay in the hospital in Korea, you must have friends or relatives to feed you, bring you a change of clothes, and everything else, because the ONLY thing the hospital will give you is the care you have already paid for. Be careful what impressions you get from videos and stuff - experience is the only real teacher. GO there and know for yourself. Korea is awesome. No better food anywhere IMHO.
@@JeromyBranch Yeah sounds about right. My mother is Korean and explained that the hospital will kick your ass out if you can't pay. People like to bitch about American health care, but some countries have it worse.
@@balzich14 i only think about it this way .... in order to have a universal health care in the states and the free uni/college everyone wants my weekly paycheck will go from being 400 bucks take home after taxes to a number closer to 200 a week id go from losing out on almost 100 bucks a week in taxes to losing almost 300 a week. i see no reason to diminish my weekly income for what is often no more than 1 hospital visit every 3 or 4 years. but i already have insurance coverage because of my fathers insurance plan anyways so i don't pay for the visits about the only thing the useless old man has ever done for me
ShadowPlay what? Are you a Korean citizen? Korea has universal health care system which far outranks us and they pay way less per capita. Korean health care system is way better than the US. US by far has the worst healthcare system compared to other industrial advanced countries and we pay the most and get the least treat meant. No Korean will ever trade their health insurance system with America.
raven nevar absolutely FALSE! There are literally dozens of PUBLISHED research papers by senior economists that detail that it will be far cheaper to to have universal Medicare for all type health insurance system. No one in Korea will ever trade their health insurance for the United States. All advanced countries make fun of the United States on how bad their health insurance is.
This popped up as a random recommendation. I like how thoughtful and open you are when speaking. Great video.
I'm glad you had a good experience in The States... culture shock isn't always friendly!
This was such a nice video thank you for visiting!!!
You need to try the the southern and Midwest states. Totally different from the east and west coast. Also Houston Texas is the most ethically diverse city in the country!
As an American who enjoys learning the Korean language and about Korean culture, it was fun to hear your perspective on American culture! 😃👍

Growing up, I was scared to be killed if I didn’t tip people lmao
Even still, I know they’ll get mad if I don’t
I happened to come across this video by accident but just kept watching.
Your personalty and cheerfulness had me smiling the whole time.
Thank you for brightening my day. I will continue to watch and also Subscribe!
