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

We need to stop trying to fit in where we will never fit in. Go where you are wanted.

This is the same for visiting any other country as well...europe, european usa, canada, aussies, you name it...there will always be obstacles to overcome... I have visited korea twice...I find the people just as I had envisioned them to be...they are very observant of you, even when you think they are not checking you out...they are.... I have learned that they treat you the way, they see you act...I personally don't want to be bothered, I just want to go and look around a bit, interact with the koreans I feel connected to...and act politely distant with those I only want a fleeting experience with...it worked for me.... This is my attitude towards all peoples in the countries I have visited and lived (I lived on the continent of europe...UGH, 'hated' every minute of IT, and I don't want to GO BACK !!!) BUT, then I am used to the european mind game...I was 'not' overly turned 'off' by my experiences in korea...since korea showed the 'signs' of being CLEARLY indoctrinated into the european 'mind game' phenom...It's a 'cultural dominance game' european diaspora persons play using MONEY....strategically 'investing' large sums of MONEY in korea (and other countries) under certain 'conditions'...and what does koreans CRAVE over anything !!! DON...that's right Money!!! Because to koreans, money means POWER !!! As a result, the good of Korean Culture has been strangled OUT by back room meetings, where sly handshake deals and slick paper signed 'contractual agreements' for MONEY took place...Making korea into a 'disney theme park adventure'...and more of the same ole...same ole...that you can see and experience anywhere in the 'european' west !!! It's the same way EVERYWHERE...cultural erosion by way of european 'filthy' MONEY !!! So, of course YOU see NO BROWN Physicians, taxi drivers, korean born brown skinned government officials...and of course mostly all omahs and abojees prefer foreigners with 'rice cake' hued skin, to marry their sons or daughters...if there is a question about outside cultural marriage within their families.... It's part of the 'conditioning' of the korean psyche by the european diaspora!!! We all know that IT is certainly working the way the europeans want it to go (pun intended)... Koreans are WORKED to 'severe' exhaustion in jobs that they have to compete hard to get and hold onto (even when it would be better for them if they resigned from - due to adult work place bullying), their men are afraid of getting MARRIED to real WOMEN...because having children SCARES them to NO END...the possibility they (men) will have to work EVEN harder to LIVE as a family MAN...PETRIFIES them...and the women are having to DO everything...just like....Black - Pink...if you get my drift !!! The european investors, set korea up for self-sabotage-extinction...they used the weak spot of koreans which has almost wiped them out...their own 'avarice' for what the europeans 'hoodwinked' them into thinking were 'needful things' for progressive living !!! I feel so sorry for the Koreans...they are suffering because of decisions made seemingly FOR them (in the 80s), but were REALLY against them... What's next?...Is their country going to become the european test site for 'AI trans-humanism inductions', as a supposed way to help support the korean 'infrastructure' due to an almost non-existent work force, due to low birthrate and aged 'out' workforce population...Far-fetched you're thinking...NOPE, highly possible....Since WE 'all' are very acquainted with legitimate documentation concerning the europeans' past and present 'gruesome experimentations' involving human beings an 'testing', aren't WE?!...'cruel race those europeans, as well as their diaspora'!!! I say...What the HEY, they (the Koreans) are between a rock and a hard place...just like YOU !! So, don't sweat this small STUFF !!! It is 'what it is'....until they the Koreans get tired of running the european sponsored 'rat race' and want to change their one sided understanding of the truth about other cultures, in so doing form a better viewpoint past the JUNK the europeans feed them thru 'student programs' in the usa, britain, france, germany, canada, russia (what the HEY...ALL the european gateposts of indoctrination, including the western media 'misinformation' pathogen blitz).... Sorry to say...Things will remain the same (koreans are ADDICTED to MONEY & GOSSIP...europeans LOVE feeding any and everybody's ADDITIONS... An Koreans ain't about to get off of the Filthy MONEY train ride they are on with MONEY Train Owners...the europeans!!! So go on to Korea..but, at YOUR OWN risk !!! Either get a thick skin...stay there and put up with it....OR 'exit stage left' an get the HANG NAIL outta DODGE !! One way or the other it's YOUR CHOICE ! Buuuut, leave Korea with some FACE (Respect)...they deserve IT !!!

YOU ARE THE COOLEST!!
