    So there's no way I pronounced "Jeong" correctly but it was worth a shot :D If you enjoyed the video let me know!
    Also check out my website for a full list of recommendations on what you SHOULD do! www.golocaltips.com/seoul
    and yes, some of the train footage I used is from my trip to Japan not Korea (I ran out of train footage unfortunately) but I hope you can forgive me!

      I am a Korean-American in New York.
      Jeong,...정 is what you mean and is pronounced more like J sound adding before YOUNG (YOUTH).
      you could spell JUNG but not joong.
      정 is a connection between individuals of many relationship. It is very hard to explain...
      Also you mixed lots of Japanese clips and Korean clips.

      You are 80% wrong. It looks like you traveled to Korea once, and read the internet ...then made this video using clips from Japan. I recommend consulting actual expats and Koreans...before making shit up. Everyone I have shown this video too is pissed off. My Korean wife, My Korean family, My Korean students, My expat friends that live in Korea.

      Fairly true, but not entirely accurate. If you're interested in the Korean culture, look no further than ktown LA... So many koreans there, though diluted and integrated with American culture.

    I spent a total of two years stationed in Korea. If you REALLY want to experience Korea (or any other destination country), give the larger places a small part of your time and get out into the countryside. The mass transit system in Korea is very efficient and allows one to easily do so. Overall, the people outside the big cities are more hospitable and you get a much better feel for the historical culture. Korea is a very hilly country and Koreans do like to hike among the hills and mountains.
    Be aware, though, the South Koreans do take security along the DMZ VERY seriously. Don't go mucking around up there in areas you are not supposed to be in. That being said, I highly recommend a guided tour to the DMZ and Panmunjom, especially if you've never been in the military or stationed in the ROK.

    As a Korean, thoughts on this list...
    1. You can politely decline if you don’t drink or have health issues - you don’t have to.
    4. You can talk on the subways. It’s not Japan. Ain’t nobody gonna scold you.
    ( Also why the heck are you using Japanese b-roll? All your shots are of the inside of a Japanese subway. )
    7. You can get into fights with a korean, just don’t hit em. If they hit you, you’re entitled to a nice settlement. Just don’t hit anyone. If you hit each other, it favors who’s hurt more.
    10. (Again use of Japanese b-roll... come on man, you couldn’t even get the country right?)
    11. Pronounced “jung” and this point was irrelevant to travel tbh. You don’t have to share your bowl of soup or your street food... ain’t nobody gonna take bite out of my meat stick after I already slobbered all over it.. just sayin ;)

    I’ve been to both Korea and Japan and I thought Korean people were more openminded and forgiving. I’ve probably made a mistake or two there, one of them being too casual about receiving a business card (by the way this should probably be on this list : if you’re given a business card in Korea, you should treat it as something precious, take time to look at it when you’re being given it, etc.) but all in all I felt like Korean were more curious and welcoming towards strangers, I really keep a great memory of this trip

      Totally agree that in Korea people are more relaxed about 'the rules' than Japanese people. Easier to make friends in Korea... more Korean people will have studied abroad and will be used to foreigners... I found Japanese people are tightly shut, which is hard to break into as a foreigner.

    There's a few mistakes in this video.
    1. Talking in subway for example, it's allowed to speak or have a quick phone call; just be sure not to be loud enough to disturb other people.
    2. Tipping isn't required but it is appreciated here. Even I sometimes tip the waiter if he or she served me nice.
    3. Getting into fight is never a good idea, but there's no way Koreans are always unguilty. And even if the foreigners get into trouble, they are sent to jails for foreigners only, where prisoners there are treated a lot better than the prison where locals go. But as I said, avoiding trouble is smart anytime and anywhere.
    4. Seoul is a crowded city, but that doesn't mean getting pushed or elbowed should be considered expected. It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head.

It's actually very rude to do that, and when you found youself doing one, immediately say sorry and lower your head." utter hogwash. Its done all the time, I've been there for close to a year.

    Thank You! With this advice we went prepared to Seoul. We did stay on the foot close to Namsan Park at the Hill House Hotel. It did not matter with how many stars the hotel is rated as everything was absolutely perfect. A cost price that was more than fair that included breakfast, every morning was a delighted one. The location is perfect, as within 20 min on foot there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants, two markets ( Namdaemun Market and Myeong-dong Markets and one has to visit and see the night markets ) , food prepared right there on the street, street performances, jewelry, clothes, shoes, art, traditional clothes, many areas of culturelle aspects, K-pop merchandise and the cable car to the N-tower just 15 min away. Do not waste money on organised tours within Seoul as there are three public tourist bus lines, loop A blue, loop B red, Loop C green and D yellow line ( That is the night line with or without dinner served on the bus. The lines interlook, this way one can visit the entire city hot spots. This for only ~ Au$ 20 some start at 8:30 am and some at 9:00 am and one can hop on and off all day long till 6:30 pm. Some busses have an area open for photo taking or videos, one bus is a doppeldecker with an open upper deck and everyone gets a map and headphones for the multi-lingo highlights advice what to see and do on every bus stop. Get off and in about an hour get back on and continue your bus tour. Take the triple ticket pass over two days for a discounted price and go places, visit Gangnam, see the Lotte World Tower, or the COEX Aquarium, the olympic village, parks and villas, go on a Han River cruise, visit temples, castles, historic places. You may book a tour gettin' out of Seoul to Nami Island, take a K-pop scenery tour. If you brave enough to wear hired historic clothes while walking along, there is NO ENTRY FEE to see museums or temples, the castle and more. Well anyway, don't be shy as every fifth person you run into on the street will speak some English and Koreans are very helpful and friendly. Right now there are AU$ 350 direct 8 hours flights one way from the Gold Coast to Incheon airport / Seoul (conditions apply) restricted language weight and one has to pay for meals! Otherwise, enjoy......and yes we will be there in Korea soon again as there is soooo much more to see and do.

    Sometimes I wish we had a tradition here of not speaking on public transit - or at least speaking in a low volume. I find many people talk too loudly on city buses. In particular I recall once a man in the back of the bus was speaking so loudly on his phone everyone on the bus could easily hear him.

    just came back from Seoul. Somehow, I felt Koreans don't really like foreigners especially when you speak English. They are friendlier towards their own people. It happened to me a few times during my trip there, where they often neglect you if you don't speak their language. At that time, we were desperate for help, they just don't care. Even the custom officers are also really rude and unhelpful at all.
    Apart from that, it is a cool country to live in, everything is really advanced and proper. Great food and culture. Most importantly, lightning fast internet everywhere!
    Sorry if i offended anyone, those are just my personal opinions and experience.

      No, this is really true actually. Me and my friends went to a traditional korean market and an old lady literally said 외국 싫어요 which means I hate foreigners. We all laughed alot because she didn’t expect us to understand Korean hahah. There is a lot of inherent xenophobia in Korea but it is not something they’ll act upon so it is safe anyways :)

    Thank you for the interesting information about Korean culture. I hope that Koreans would also want to learn something about the cultures of other countries that they wish to travel to. You see, we have here a Korean guy, who came to our university as an exchange student. He doesn't use two hands while receiving anything, he drinks more than any Russian guy that I know (i have called him an embulance twice because I thought he was going to die). At night (on Fridays) he drinks vodka and sings songs on top of his lungs in a mic at the apartment where he lives (his neighbours want to pack him in a parcel and send him back to Korea). At daytime he chases after girls with 3 phrases in Russian: he is rich; he is from South Korea; he has got two expensive cars. This guy really enjoys his staying in Russia, the only thing that upsets him when the locals call him Chinese. 😂

    During this entire video, I thought “Is this Japan!!?” And wouldn’t you know it, there were lots of Japan shots, as others are also saying. In addition to what it seems mostly everyone already said (using Japan shots, exaggerating, not accurate, etc) I also would like to mention that the title of this video is VERY MISLEADING.
    “11 Things NOT to do in Korea” sounds like places you shouldn’t go to/things you shouldn’t try. For example, (just an example) many people go to Starfield Mall to shop but you say “you should not do that because it’s not as good as other things, why not try.... instead?”
    Your title should be something like “Be careful not to do this in Korea” “Etiquette rules in Korea” “Don’t do these things in Korea” “Before going to Korea, learn these societal rules.”
    Overall, I’m not very impressed.

    #10 ... where you put your off-hand when giving and receiving depends on the relative status of the two people involved. YOU might need to use two hands almost all the time, but I am 60 yo, a foreigner, and a respectable businessman. So I might use two hands when interacting with an elderly person or my boss or a newly-met colleague, but I'm not going to be seen as rude if I just stick one hand out for most other people. And the level of respect is directly proportional to how close together your two hands are ... it is more respectful to hold something with both hands than to put out just one and put the other on your elbow or against your chest. (This is a game with rules ... if you LIVE in Korea, you need to learn them, because if you defer to EVERYONE eventually no one will defer to you and you'll erode your status.)
