    Can you do content on asking foreigners specifically more on their jobs in Korea? I.e: What jobs do they do, how did they get it, how do they manage cost of living/other finances, costs moving to korea, do they feel financially safe etc.
    I ask this cos I'd like to move to korea but would like a better understanding on finances and thus quality of life

    Korean-American here. Kinda similar to how I felt in the states. I never felt quite American enough , but now that I'm grown , I've realized you get what you put in. If you love your neighbors and really push yourself to be an American, you'll never run out of love from other Americans. But if you isolate yourself, and have a mindset of " I'm Asian, therefore they will treat me differently" - that's what you'll beget.
    There were a lot of cultural barriers I needed to unlearn to really understand the (white) American mindset. In Korea, you start your friendship with your Honorifics up front, respect up front, and best behavior up front. While its always frown upon to be rude in any relationship, Americans tend to be very free and cavalier up front. They poke fun at you, test you and see what you're made of. If you take offense easily , can't take a joke - why befriend this guy anyway?
    Korean's start with the respect , and get looser, and eventually they start ragging on you to death lol. Americans don't hand out respect until you earn it, and when you've earned it, they really do respect you - and its long lasting. Once you know the differences, it so much easier to navigate the cultural landscape. Americans are one of the most loyal , and honorable friend you can have- so are the Koreans, who would liquor shots with you by the stairs at 3 am to bereave your loss , eating friend chicken, with their arms around you cheering you up.
    Either way , I love both these countries - so I married a half korean/ half american woman :P, lucky me.

      Love this perspective! I agree. Being an American is more of a mindset, in my mind. Anyone can be an American. Our citizenship is for anyone, no barriers. I love Korea and loved living there. Sometimes it was hard to understand how some countries could treat someone as an "other" if they weren't a certain way. But, again, I think that's the benefit of being an American. There's no mould to fit into in regards to looking a certain way. American is citizenship, not race.

    Yeah definitely she's right about medical check.
    It could be convinient sometimes but checking fast would not be the best for my body. So In my case, I go to check in various hospitals and many times to make sure about my symtom and which doctor is the best or better for me.
    That is the best way and possible because it's not that expensive. So I have always succeded to care of my body these days finding good doctor.
    Thank you for making this video and Korea will thank for the people who speak about their own honest opinion toward South Korea, that helps korea change in good ways and it also leads me to self reflection as I'm korean.
    Thank you~!

      This is spot on. So many Koreans think Korea has the best medical system and America doesn’t but as a Korean living in America with lots of issues on my body, I can confidently say American system is way better. Korean doctors misdiagnose and are too confident in their knowledge and decision. I have seen many such cases through myself, family and friends. People suffer from the side effects but they don’t know unless they know another doctor in their family. American doctors are not overly confident and they tend to look closely on patients history.

    • @wramthen
      @wramthen ปีที่แล้ว

      @@user-uskxnfiw729 Yes you are right ..in America, doctor can be sued if they don’t make right diagnosis through the history record of the patient but usually, Korean doctor ask about my disease I had before and the kind of pill I ate to make a proper diagnosis and prescription. And mostly, general patient go to hospital with their history record to give it to the doctor. Korean doctor never look into the record ? It’s wrong They check and ask you but it’s hard to check all the record in detail because there is your record files in the hospital you visited in the past. It’s not allowed to view it and it need to have permission from the hospital. So there is several steps to get the record so that’s why patient bring the record directly . Anyway, Korean doctor not checking the record? Is wrong. They always check and ask and request the record but if you are foreigner, maybe it’ll be hard because of language barrier at first.
      As a result, I think I got a good prescription and diagnosis so far and cured earlier so that’s why l’m satisfied with the system in Korea.
      Plus, there is a lot of good doctors and talented doctor around in Korea including bad doctors.
      Can you say and are you sure that there is only good or great talented doctors only in America? And the state you actually live?
      I don’t think so… and the price is … I can’t afford it.

      @@wramthen I don't think you understand American medical system. They can also visit another doctor for a second or third opinion. It doesn't cost much. It usually takes some explanation so people tend to just mention the outright bill in deductible phase only. In short, you pay $15-$30 per visit. There is out of pocket maximum which means you don't pay more than certain amount. For instance, my insurance sets it at $4,000. What that means is I will only pay up to $4,000 per year even if I go through multiple surgeries that cost a million dollar.

      @@wramthen Korean hospitals don't have good medical records system and how they can transfer between hospitals. Yes, Korean doctors would ask about medical history to the patient but what if the patient has Alzheimer? When I visit a doctor in US, a nurse goes over the history and check the current prescription and histories. They are all in the system already. I visit many different hospitals and they can see my records with my permission easily. Korean people don't know about how other countries are using their medical care system. Many are brain-washed to believe their system is the only good one with fans information for other countries. This is very similar to Chinese people believing their political system is better than democratic system. One can only see what they know about. Korean medical system has so many issues. You didn't experience that because you're probably young and don't have family to take care of. For simple matters, Korean medical system works. However, as you age, you will go through many tragic incidents but you may not even know it was actually correctable.

    I'm korean born but grew up in usa. I been in the US army for over 12 years, been stationed in Korea (camp Carroll, camp humphreys).
    I remember the old korea (pre hallyu) almost every forienger was military. My mother recalls growing up near itaewon (near usag yongsan in seoul) American soldiers typically sell American brand candies under their jackets to local kids. The military commissary would ration items because soldiers were making bank selling American products in the korean blackmarket. Back when it was hard to get hersheys or american goods in korea. Kpop was born in itaewon, some of the first western style musicians and singers got their start singing to American troops. To this day, every us army garrison has what we call the "ville" korean gov designated street full of American friendly businesses. Itaewon was the original ville, many businesses would not even serve koreans. Most of villes are "juicy bars" run by "mamasan." About 10 years ago, the US military decide to consolidate most bases especially north of seoul into camp humphreys, pyeongtaek. Now camp humphreys is the biggest us base outside usa with over 35,500 people (almost all Americans) living there. The only Popeyes you can find in Korea now is in us bases (camp humphreys has 3 popeyes)
    Getting stationed in Korea in 2018 to 2020, many more foreigners go to seoul. English teachers, travelers and American soldiers are two very different type of foreigners.

    Completely unrelated but can you do an interview about the involvement of Filipinos in the Korean War? The battle of Yultong tends to get undermined and not enough people talk about it. Every country that participated should get the credit they deserve, and the Philippines is no exception. Just trying to spread awareness because I'm sick and tired of hearing about Koreans walking all over us even though that battle is the reason they many of them are here today and everyone in Korea has a home. Spread the word is the only way I see for them to prove their gratitude and pay respects to out grandfathers, and unless they do, I'll never believe anyone who says they are thankful and yet does nothing to reduce the discrimination problem and allows it to keep happening

      @@michaelrespicio5683 I know that the Filipinos are very proud of the Battle of Yultong. And they want to be treated special by Koreans while telling the story. However there are many such wonderful combat stories in other countries that participated in the Korean War. Of course, Korea has a lot of such combat stories because the Korean army was the largest. If someone is going to interview Koreans if they know about such a story, they will need to first ask the story of the battle of the U.S. military, which sent the most troops as a foreigner. Honestly if someone isn't interested in military, the average person doesn't know much about the story of the battle. In Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Thailand sent a lot of troops. However as you can see from the statistics above many Westerners participated in the front-line battle. And there are more casualties in France, Thailand and the Netherlands, Ect which supported fewer troops than in the Philippines. Of course the Philippines could have been better at fighting but there is a big difference in numbers. The reason I'm saying this is because I think some Filipinos on the Internet always think that their country played the biggest role in saving Korea by mentioning the Battle of Yultong. I don't see people from other countries who have participated in the same war oppressing Koreans by saying things like that. And Thailand, the same Southeast Asian participated in the war but I never saw Thai people on the Internet asking Koreans to thank them for their help. So I only knew about the participation of the Philippines, but I didn't know about Thailand in detail.
      And unfortunately, the Korean War is not a victorious war. In fact, the Korean War was caused by ideological conflicts between the Soviet Union and the United States, so instead there was a war in Korea. It is grateful that the liberal democratic system was established but Korea was divided. The armistice was agreed upon by the United States, China, and North Korea but South Korea did not agree to it. The war remains only sad feelings and memories for Koreans. I mean, Koreans are grateful to the veterans who sacrificed for freedom in the Korean War. But the light faded because it wasn't a victorious war. And it's not that Korea did nothing. The Korean government offers scholarships and other preferential benefits to the descendants of foreign veterans, although not enough. Also a few years ago when the Covid-19 was severe, the Philippines was a participant in the war, so korea gave a little support. And as you may know Korea sent many battleships to the Philippines for free. It is for business purposes but at the same time the Korean government gives special treatment because the Philippines is a participating country.
      And the reason why Koreans mainly refer to the United States when they talking about the Korean War is that it was a war led by the United States and as shown in the statistics above, they overwhelmingly supported the most among foreign troops, which is why people remember them relatively easily. However there are many Koreans who do not know much about England or Canada, which sent the next largest number of troops. And the United States has 28500 soldiers stationed in Korea since 70 years ago. Also It is a close economic and military relationship and the United States is an advanced country that everyone knows. There are officially about 140,000 Americans living in Korea. That's why Koreans usually have a friendly feeling toward the United States. But Koreans don't treat them particularly well because they were helped in the war. I don't think when people meet Americans, they'll remember being helped in the war 70 years ago and be particularly nice to them. On TH-cam, there are many videos of Americans living in Korea or traveling complaining about their experiences of being treated badly. Likewise Koreans are not particularly nice to the British or Canadians who sent the second largest number of troops after the United States in the Korean War. For example, I don't think Filipinos would always be nice to people from a particular country if they had a history of receiving help from another country in the past.
      Of course Koreans are grateful to Filipino soldiers and their descendants who fought in the Korean War. But I don't think they'd be so grateful to the average person they didn't know. So don't expect special treatment. And many Filipinos come to Korea these days. People with legal visas get the same salary as Koreans, and there are also many people who earn more than the average Korean. There are many people who mainly work in factories but in Korea, the wages of factories are not bad. On the contrary they earn more money than some Koreans who work in offices and they are higher than the salaries of foreign English teachers. And there is a problem of discrimination against foreigners. It's the same for white people. However it is true that it has improved a lot compared to before. These days when foreigners are discriminated against, there are people who take videos with their cell phones and upload them on TikTok or TH-cam so it is not an easy environment to discriminate compared to before. I sometimes saw Filipinos living in Korea on TikTok, and there are people who get 2.3m a month's salary, and I saw people more than that. There are many Koreans who can't make that much money. When I look at TikTok, many people seem to be satisfied and live.
      And I'm sorry to say this, but it's true that there are some negative perceptions about people in certain countries. In a recent article, 20 percent of foreigners in Korea are illegal immigrants and most of them are from Southeast Asia. Foreign crimes are also increasing rapidly. So there's a little bit of a bad image of people coming from certain areas. The image of people in countries with relatively no illegal immigration and less crime is good. So in reality, don't expect Koreans to like all foreigners and be nice to them all. Korea is a society where the economy is getting worse, the competition for jobs is fierce and it is a depressing society in many ways. So there are many people who commit suicide. Korea is a busy and overworked society and has many problems on its own, so it is not a society that is relaxed enough to pay special attention to foreigners. Korea is a relatively young democratic society, so there are many things to improve. And discrimination against foreigners and prejudice are also things that need time. The population of foreigners in Korea is 2.5 million and it will be close to 3 million including illegal immigrants. 5% to 6% of the population. 1 million of them are Korean-Chinese and half a million are Westerners and the rest are foreign Asians. It is in the early stages of a multicultural society so there are still many shortcomings. From the start, not everything is as prepared as a country that is already multicultural. There are also conflicts about illegal stay and foreign crimes. It is a society that requires a process of communication and effort to reduce negative perceptions.

      ​@@Unknown-un5pu It's not about who had the largest army, who lost the most men, or fought in the most battles. It's about mutual respect. Every country that fought in the war, including the Philippines, all sacrificed and risked their lives for Korea and the fact they chose to do so means be treated with respect. By talking shit about the people in those countries, such as the Philippines, that would include our grandfathers and the fallen soldiers. What ever happened to Koreans respecting the elderly? Or is it just towards Korean elders and everyone else they treat like garbage? If Korea doesn't discriminate as much against Thai people (for instance), great, good for them. I also respect Thai people but nothing you said justifies discrimination, even towards Filipinos. Refering to this battle is just a reason to raise awareness and spread mutual respect, not asking for gratitude.
      Also let's not forget that many Korean people move to the Philippines or go there to learn English, one of the most useful skills in today's economy. And other countries were influenced to consider going there too for English learning. There are more Koreans in the Philippines then Filipinos in Korea, and actions have consequences so if you are Korean and I was in your shoes, I'd watch what I say. Plus, the Philippines is the largest exporter of nurses worldwide and overseas workers are actually making a difference in the world economy. Where are the Korean nurses? Where are the overseas workers? Most are stuck in Korea because they can barely speak even English. Most Filipinos never attack anyone, but Korea...different story. They think they can walk over anyone and receive worship because of what? K-pop? K-dramas?

    다문화교육, 특히 역사에 관해, 세계의 흐름에 함께 교육하는게 부족한 것이 한국에서의 다문화 사회가 형성되는것에 큰 장애가 되고 있다고 생각합니다. 인종이나 국적 등이 중요한 것이 아니라 그 사회 안에서 일하고, 소비하고, 세금을 내고, 아이를 낳아 교육하는 사람 그 자체가 중요하다는 것이 한국에서는 아직 깨닫는 정도가 부족하다고 생각하네요.. 이것은 시간이 필요한 일이고, 한국사회가 스스로 깨닫고 발전하기보다는 상처를 입고 부족함을 직접 느껴야 발전될 거라고 생각합니다.. 그 시간은 머지 않았어요 사회 구조상, 한국은 위기를 겪을 것이고 그 위기를 대처하고 미래로 나아가기 위해 변화할 시기는 올 겁니다. 빠른 시간 안에 이민자 출신 분들이 사회의 주요한 역할을 하기를 원하고 그래야 합니다 한국이 보다 문제가 적게 살아남기 위해서는요..

    As a Korean, of course I like the United States because of the hard work the United States did as an ally during the Korean War.
    Personally, I became interested in America cause of their BIG hip-hop culture.
    (from our point of view, it can feel quite open, sensational, and violent(?), but we also respect it as a culture that is honest and humane.)
    For now, I'm grateful that K-pop culture, which has developed many world's pop cultures into our own, is loved worldwide.
    My opinion does not represent all Koreans, so please take this view as a reference.

    I COMPLETELY DISAGREE that American hospital system takes longer because they are carefully checking their work. At least you can get things done fast in Korea and save yourself even though you are a foreigner. Here in the U.S., I know of horrific cases of Asians losing their lives because doctors administered an inappropriate amount of anesthetic to their bodies. Also, some people die over a simple appendectomy. So can't complain about S. Korea's medical system. They are convenient and great!

Dogs are beaten, all sick and constantly give birth to puppies. or they are sent to be eaten or left without food and without water, this cruel barbarism. Save the good volunteers from America, I live in Korea, but I see such that my heart bleeds, please save the dogs in farms in South Korea. do good and help feed the animals and save them as much as possible.
