Asia is generally created in a way that you will stay and eventually leave. It is not created to be a permanent home unless you are Asian. I stayed in Korea for 8 years and I am fluent in Korean it didn’t amount to anything as a Native English Speaker from SA with MA from the UK.🙌 You are 100% correct my sister. Korea is a good place to build your career or yourself but you need to move forward.

Pls ma for someone coming on work visa how the dependant work legally

I lived in seoul for almost a year. I didnt work there so i cant comment on that aspect. I know koreans treat people based on their nationality. If you are from a rich, western country they like you. If not you are trash. If you have money you are golden. As a blk american i can say i was treated very well and i felt safe. Safer than my own city, NYC. I really just went there for fun. But i knew people working there that had terrible experiences. Africans and filipinos get very poor treatment especially.

Why did you go there?

Please I need your counsel, I live in Istanbul Turkey and I want to move to Korea.

I have tried to contact you but couldn’t. Please how can I get to you?.

Your experience is similar to mine! I lived in China for six years before deciding to abandon ship too but we meuve🤘🏾

999th subscriber! Let's goooo🤟🏾

Did you really do your homework before you decided to go. Did you look at the different videos of black people who have lived there and what their experiences were?

No really people waste their time and money believing lies about Korea. And it’s so bad in reality. Hence why everyone leaves

Do they sell second hand laptop in this market?

I appreciate your vulnerability. I defs plan to live there one day, but now I know what to expect.

wait... You're light skinned😂😂😂😂

Spousal visa here (U.S) let's you actually get a job faster because your residence is automatic... that's so crazy.

Yes, same.... That was my INITIAL reaction

Pronunciation is not clear. Not able to understand

Thanks

Ada, get the hell out of Korea. Why would you go there? What were you thinking? 😭 If I were you, I would do a different kind of YTV, your visuals up close should be improved. From your loving sister in culture. GOD BLESS YOU 🙏

I can tell it's gonna be a lot of challenges for you there given melanin content of your skin.

No offense, but your English is rather difficult to follow. I've been in Korea for 15 years now.

Yeah the money thing for the visa is very discriminatory. Foreigners usually make less anyways, which already IS a problem. They dont get raises or chances at career development as Koreans do. Usually almost no chance. Then when an organization does ask you to expand beyond your original scope, they offer only possibilities of future benefits. Just to move the goalposts, whenever you do what they ask or even overachieve.

I am going to be frank and the most diplomatic I can be while being blunt enough to get my points across... You can't teach English. You don't speak it yourself. I have a very hard time understanding you 75% of the time. Your vocabulary is not adequate, your diction is not adequate. And it's not just you, I work with many Africans....they don't speak English well. That is the sad reality. For the longest time Koreans were taught English by bad speakers themselves. That hindered the progress of English use in Korea for decades. They have realized that in the early 2000s so now they are more strict. I would have loved to hear you speak some Korean. When you say "HwaegugIn Saram", your R is not pronounced well, you pronounce it from the throat like an English speaker. If I can't understand you in English, how can a Korean sales person could? The bank account thingy...There are so many foreigners that try and sometimes succeed until they are caught trying to break the system, that I understand them trying to fence you out of financial freedom. You're not suppose to earn money, even from Google AdSense. Your friends send you money, have them send it to your husband, he can give you cash afterwards. That's what 'dependence' means. Foreigners have to accept that their staying in Korea under some Visa arrangements, are 'privileges' that you should respect. About the uneasiness of being a foreigner in Korea. Picture this for a second....I am a white woman. I roam all over South Korea...I live in a sea of Korean people. That is what I want. I know I am different but it doesn't bother me at all. But when suddenly a foreigner shows up, I am startled. I am. It bothers my perception of community, as I detach my western roots from my psyche. So you better get used to have Koreans be startled when you appear. They might hide it very well but that's that. They basically have a homogeneous society and accepting their reaction is much better than trying to force them to change by having enormous immigration and change that aspect of that society, because one thinks it's bad or unacceptable. It's not our country. I am not saying that is your quest but a lot do it for that quest.

You had to have known what you were walking into. I mean, theres tons of videos about this on TH-cam that are testament to racist and xenophobic South Korea is towards people who are not white or korean. This is a country that even discriminates against North Korean defectors, which is bascically their own people. I haven't been to South Korea, but after seeing how they are, I'll never set foot in that country. There are way better countries to visit than racist South Korea.

Wow, I went to South Korea I had such a great experience.People were so nice with me I had tears .I'm sorry for your bad experience

Una don let K-pop confuse una. Entertainment is not real life.

Go back to yours shit

Hi just caught this video I haven't watched it yet but will 😊❤ so before I start I'll say the moments you came through is not a South Korea environment it is a world environment every country every city has that element in it even your own home land has that same mentality it is not the norm it's just a local at the moment that you're in, and it's up to you to make each moment a smile moment or a reality of a moment but should not become the look of a Nation you're going to find people you are just like that on every continent you step on ❤ have you ever been exactly like that to someone to some extant and that doesn't make you a bad person just makes you human❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤so stayn in s Good frame of heart 💖 an mind,for the only person you can change the altar is yourself and by doing so you may change others❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

No place like home

Getting hair done is 😊😊

Do not complain here Do not try to change SK! It's so useless thing

Adjust your entitlement to the reality of yourself.

Happy Birthday Ma

TY for posting this video. Your comments about living in South Korea are not unique. There are numerous YT videos made by different foreigners...who are not of very white skin...who have expressed the same frustration with Korean people and their society. The exclusionary attitudes seem to not be as strong with younger Korean generations, but it's still there. Other Asian nations do not appear to have the same level of prejudice and are more accepting of outsiders which is wonderful and the way it should be also in Korea. It's a real shame because Kdramas make the nation seem so nice. I think that is why Americans of color mostly refuse to listen to Kpop or attend Kpop concerts. Korean animosity is well-understood here in America and people refuse to give their money to music and associated paraphernalia from the prejudiced society. There's no love lost. Again, this is so very unfortunate. Hopefully, this entire situation both within Korea and outside of Korea will change in the future. Until then, individuals like yourself will have to decide: Should I really stay here or should I move to somewhere else where I'm welcomed? Best wishes to you and good luck!🫶❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ PS. Even Asians from other nations have reported on YT videos that they also experience prejudice living in Korea. There's a video on the history of Korea that tries to explain why this hatred of others began within Korean society, but there's still no excuse for the hatred to continue. The world is a global community. There's no room for hatred anywhere. Koreans need to better understand this and actively address the problem if they want expansion of their nation's financial ties with the rest of the world.🙏

Where are you from? Can you speak Korean? Thank you for telling your experience in about South Korea.

They are in his country , everybody when arrive or move in for other country should respect different perspectives

I know one Vietnamese become nurse..so but am not sure she only give the documents to doctor or what..not sure if they allow her to do things like injection, drip..or otherthing..but almost there will be no chance for foreigners on medical system😅

Exactly, korean is good but their people are good pretenders..actually they bully people a lot..they think only them they are human being..other people they are no human..they look down to people..especially black people..without realizing they have nothing special..they are just Asians who like alcohol..thats all.😢😢😢😅 about teaching english they only like countries which English is their mother tongue..(first language)

Não acho certo e justo exigir que um estrangeiro aja e se comporte exatamente como um nativo local.... afinal, sou um estrangeiro e não pertenço àquela sociedade e por isso não tenho necessariamente que falar ou agir como eles.... penso que isso seria anular minha própria personalidade e minha identidade.... Entao, se estou num país estrangeiro tenho que comprir as leis desse país e obedecer as normas legais, mas não os costumes sociais.... por exemplo: não tenho a tradição ou o costume de me prostar ajoelhado diante de outra pessoa ou abaixar a cabeça até os quadris, e não faria isso em qualquer lugar do mundo em que eu fosse... ninguém poderia me obrigar a isso.

Nem os próprios coreanos gostam da Coreia e por isso se matam aos milhares.... As pessoas estão iludidas pela mentira contada nos K-dramas...... Os coreanos se odeiam entre si e vuvem em uma competição desde o dia em que nascem.... uma terra sem Deus. As mulheres coreanas são todas iguais, de cara redonda e olhos amassados... cada uma é cópia da outra, todas iguais... e elas são feias, com rosto grotesco e masculinos.... a maioria das mulheres coreanas se corterem o cabelo curto, sem usar nenhuma maquiagem e vestirem apenas um jeans e uma camiseta, não saberemos dizer se é homem ou mulher..... Mas os homens em geral são muito bonitos.

This video was really torture.

This is so important! Kdramas are a fantasy. They aren't showing the reality. Domestic violence is so high in Korea. Women are second class citizens. the sexual violence towards foreigners is so bad. They're justice system doesn't deal with it. It's just victim shaming. The victims are the ones held responsible both legally and financially.

what if your degree is from an American University, are you still unable to teach in Korea?

Thank you dear for sharing your experience. I hope you find a better place and find better opportunities. I watch a young black girl who was a former model in S. KOREA and her experience was so bad she quit her employment even though it paid her well. She bought a house in JAPAN 🇯🇵 and she still blogs about her day to day life there.

Most korean were racist. Especially elderly.

Hallelujah 🎉 Bless you Maaaama

To be fair they have a lot to come into diversity. But you do have an ajunma look hun and they are very much into beauty and people with western cute looks. Its already a standout when you are a foreigner but when you do not fit into cute stereotype too, then.. you might not have as good/bad experience as some other foreigners. But as a foreigner you have to come into Korea with your own thing because if you expect to thrive with a company there as a Black ajunma looking lady, definitely hardest. Better head to UK or Us for that lol.

Hectic

I am sorry you have to experience that. But, it's not everyone 's experience. Your accent... Nigerian English accent is never really clear. That's honest truth .... Unless you grew up speaking fluent English... I am not trying to shame you but...I didn't understand most Nigerians

Hello sister for someone who have south Korea visitor visa how to run things please
