Excellent video. Lived in Korea, married a Korean, and now I have 3 Korean-American kids. 3 years in Nonsan and 3 years in Cheonan :) Mention Korea's beautiful topography and outdoor activities...
Burger here. 🍔 I definitely agree with all of your reasons here, Steph & Nick. Very well said! 👏 As an American expat, health care in Korea is nothing short of a Wonder of the World in my opinion. It's such a great system. 👍 I'm so happy you mentioned FOOD as well, guys! Korea has such a great selection of foods to choose from! And, I'm not only talking about Korean Cuisine. It's literally a foodies' playground. Plus, you can always count on affordable & healthy food that can also be delivered virtually anytime! CONVENIENCE 😋
You are right! After 8 years here, I've seen the diversity of food explode! Look forward to how it's going to continue evolving. Thanks for your comment mate!
Okay, I have to choose between Japan and Korea as my place of employment, same company just have to choose between one of the branch. I have known Japanese people but I haven't met or interacted with korean people. I am inclined to Japan but South Korea also sounds good. This helps a lot.
That's an interesting predicament! So cool that you have two awesome countries to choose from! I hope you make the best choice for you in the end, and I'm glad this video helped :)
@shhdya9703: I have lived in both countries and there are several contrasts which I'd like to point out. Life in S.Korea seems more 'raw' compared to that of Japan in that the difficult aspects of life seem to be more visible in S.Korea. Salaries have tended to be better in Japan but research salaries in your industry. In general, Korean people tend to be more dynamic, outwardly emotional, extraverted. In general, Japanese people tend towards introversion and subtlety. In Japan, it might take longer for people to accept and trust you but both peoples are sensitive in general. Once you make a real friend in either country, you have a friend for life. I think it's easier to understand Korean culture. The Confucian ethos is extremely strong in Korea and colors everything ---especially relationships. I guess I would describe the difference as a on-screen Broadway Musical in Technicolor (S.Korea) vs a painting such as Impression,Sunrise by Claude Monet. You can see objects clearly in the foreground but the background isn't so clear and THAT is where the real action is happening! I lived there for 4 years. Of course, S.Korea has it's elegant, subtle aspects of the culture and Japan has its very emotive side as seen in Enka Music. Actually, I think you have to think about your own emotional and social needs as well as compare any financial differences as well as the weather! It has been a year since you wrote your post. What did you finally decide? How did you fair? Thank you!🌺🌺🌺
very nice and informative videos 🥰 it's definitely important to get informed before moving or even visiting another country. Loving your point of views and experiences.
South Korea has always been my favorite place...I love Seoul.... I'm planning to move soon... hopefully I just randomly found your video and channel... That's very much impressive... Keep up the Good work.. keep going dear...❤️❤️💚 Cheers
Korea is one of the contries i really want to go and im trying to learn Korean language currently. So after watching your videos i got some tips and reasons on if i should consider going there. Thanks for the content!
Oh my gawd! Me too! I want to move to Korea in a few years after my studies and I'm currently learning Korea but no one is really taking me serious and telling me to go to a different country because of racism (I'm black).
I'm really very serious about wanting to move there and I'm taking my time to learn Korea. I just wish everyone here wasn't so discouraging about the country. Cuz I love it, I don't why, I just feel so drawn to it.
@@uche_the_author Awwn i really hate racism because we all are humans :( Goodluck with learning Korean and I hope you can move and enjoy your time in Koreaa!!
Thank you 🙏 so very much for iterating the reasons to visit or live in South Korea. For myself, I have asthma & really love that Busan is a favorable option. Seoul can be on the pricer side for the cost of housing & the poor air quality. So, when I visit, I may choose Busan to visit & will enjoy the older generation for conversation, etc. Also, love to visit Jeju Island 🏝 too! 🥰❤️🤗 The vast amount of food choices are amazing & it really made my mouth water! 😋🤤🤭 Really love the affordable health care, too. It is so outrageous how much the price of medical insurance is, here in the USA. The last quote for myself was about $450 a month! So, it is sad that I am not able to afford that amount. There is another option that I need to check out for lost cost medical care. Hopefully I will qualify to receive the benefits.
Just found your channel! The videos are informative really enjoying hearing your perspectives. Hope your channel grows real big! You're an amazing speaker
My daughter is visiting her boyfriend in Korea this June. He's Korean and has just left South Africa to start University there. The safely aspect for me is very comforting. It will be a test run for her as she plans to join him in the future. Thanks for both the Good and the "Bad"
That sounds lovely. Yes, Korea is very safe (from my perspective as a male), at least compared to where I am from! However, bad things do happen here, so it's good to stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings, even here!
@@kind0fkorean I'm 100% sure its safer than our beautiful South Africa. I laughed out loud that you can leave your stuff on the table in a coffee shop whilst going to the WC. 🤣🤣 It is instilled in us to be constantly vigilant here.
I found South Korea a FANTASTIC country, clean, safe, very helpful, efficient, very well organised...and the technology is AMAZING! Every country has its positive / negative side....., I am from the UK too...so slow...,.....would love to move there,.... still learning the language...👊🙏
@stephnick7894, @user-ft2hq4gj3u @leejames7798: I lived in S.Korea,too. As a woman I would warn the 'starry-eyed' sweet young things to not go to S.Korea thinking that ALL of the men are K-drama heroes just waitng to rescue them and put them on a pedestal all to the tune of their favorite singer's most popular romantic ballad. Many of the young female students/visitors are so naive and truly believe that everything in S.Korea is as it is portrayed on t.v. in the K(orean)-dramas! I would say that many of the men there are just hardworking, polite regular guys who want to live a peaceful life. But just like in some other countries, there is a nasty strain of machismo in some Korean men which leads them to believe that rape is o.k. Quite a number of young foreign women and I daresay, Korean women,too, have been date raped, often drugged with something in their drink . There is now a documentary on TH-cam about their experiences. A woman who is vigilent and more street saavy or who is accompanied by her husband,boyfriend or girlfriends has a better chance of avoiding it. Please warn all of the women you know who will go there to be as careful as they would in theiŕ own country, after all there is no perfect fairyland anywhere in the world, S.Korea included.🌺
Thanks for this Video. I have been planning to go live there for a while now. I am preparing my self by watching nothin but 'Why you shouldn't move' videos to temper my expectations. It's nice to see some happy feel good content.
I love asia. Almost all asian people are very nice and like to share food. Asian food is incredible. Asian culture is interesting. Most of them are also good looking. I remember in school we had a asian immigrant, don't remember from which country but she had a problem with her computer and I helped her. I simply rebooted, took 15 seconds and at lunch she sat at my table and offered me like tons of food and asian candy she brought from home in her backpack.
Yeah, the sharing of food is huge in Korea (or at least, was, until the pandemic). It's all about communal food and sharing, which is something I've often enjoyed!
Love your content! Discovered your video in my feed and wasn‘t disappointed. I just moved to KR in november 2021 to close the gap with my korean gf after 5 years and after living here for 3 months… I couldn‘t agree more with your good/bad points on KR :) You just got a new fan haha and I‘ll be gladly watching your videos from now on. Keep up the good work🙏
I love your videos , there are very informative. I ll visit Korea next year and i m looking forward to it. I would like to stay for a year for tourism and find work, if this is possible. Im from Greece and i think the two countries have some similarities. I
im sorry to ask but may i know why your other video about why you should not go to korea comment section is not there? i kinda wanted to see peoples opinions about what you said
For every 15-20 nice comments or so, there would be one or two threating, racist and/or offensive comments, that was becoming burdensome to go through and delete each day.
@@kind0fkorean I understand this is why I barely use social media now i think you shouldn't get upset if you get mean comments because everyone on the internet will find something to talk in a negative way about fighting!
Ok, so later on in life im studying abroad in south korea and im going to live in sydney for a bit and then going back to korea but should I like live there or just like stay there temporary, I would live to know your opinion on it please.
I'm surprised by the convenience aspect though. The conveniences you've described as better in SK than the UK I would have thought would be quite basic. Even in South Africa some of them are just the basic norm
I dont think so necessarily. South Korea is still a country with diverse people, and while disabilities (like wheelchair users) are something that it's still not very open about, I can't see anyone treating you differently because of it!
@@kind0fkorean thank you for your reply. I really appreciate it. I was really curious about it because some people have been scared of me here and there. But just so you know, im totally fine with my baby hand. I wouldn't change it for anything. I also dont get offended by mean comments.😄
Nick I'm black and live in the states but anyone speaking English as their second language, I have a lot of respect for and do my best to be as helpful as possible. You're such an awesome person I subscribed,💖
You look more Korean than I do I am 6'9 Danish American. My experience of South Korea for me were the tiny public transportation and apartment. 정=effection. which is now non existence. And Korean males like to pay cause it is how they show they are doing well than you. My biggest issue was the food. I got allergies and you can't get the details here in korea when you eat out.

Thinking of moving to key west or South Korea. Feels like polar opposites but somehow they’re both on my list. Edit: I’ll also add that I am one year from finishing high school. Also while I know some Korean, it’s very minimum and 작습니다. I wanna do my best not to be the stereotypical “white guy” that only listens to k pop and calls it a day. Lol
For sure, Koreans usually appreciate it when any foreigner makes the effort to learn the language. It also helps you experience so much more than people usually would. I hope you get the chance, mate!
I thought I would need a gun to protect myself.... But you made me realise, I am super safe in Korea,so I will go Korea feeling as safe as in Afghanistan
Hilariously, in the 5 Reasons You SHOULD NOT Move to KOREA video, you tell people to leave their thoughts in the comments... then had the comments turned off. Well done champ.
I have GOT to ask how spicy is the food in general? Because I have a mouth issue where if I have spices (and acid like in fruit) my mouth burns and bleeds :) so like... would I be able to live? lmao Also I wish the UK wore masks, even in my university lectures all these kids (i'm older than them by like 4 years haha) aren't wearing them and the lecturers say "Could you put on your mask in line with policy" and none of them do. Its kinda horrible
A lot of the food revolves around spice, including soups, side dishes etc. There are certainly non-spicy foods, however you will have to double check beforehand because chillies (청양고추) go into a lot of foods here! And that's a shame about the UK ㅠㅠ I'm kind of glad I'm not there haha
Lots of factors to that question, but from my perspective, as a foreigner who speaks Korean and has a decent job I'm happy in, I'd say pretty good! Healthcare, housing, entertainment, jobs, I've been very blessed while staying here
Depends on your qualifications, Korean Skill and/or nationality. For many English Teaching jobs, the only requirement is a degree and being a native English speaker. Apart from that, you'd need to have Korean proficiency I'd say
@@kind0fkorean No i mean if i come and study with kasit as Finance MBA, do i have scope of getting job or do i need look back to my country return and hunt for job
If you can get a visa sponsored after your studies, then sure, but companies will favour Koreans over foreigners due to language barrier/visa status, unless you offer a particular skill that no one here can already offer.
Wait! Is that KOYA on your couch? Oh, sorry. My mistake. (Oops!) Moving on.... I had heard about all your "Pros," and I thank my S.K. friends (family?) for introducing me to Mask Culture even before COVID was a Thing. Since I was already into wearing masks, there was no "transition."
Not going to sugarcoat it, but the reason why Korea and Japan are so safe is because drugs and guns are prohibited, and they keep immigration tightly controlled.
As long as your skin is not dark, Koreans are ok with you. So with that being said, Koreans are NOT as loving and accepting … if they are, it is very conditional
While this CAN be the case unfortunately, it's not a universal truth here. I have many friends from the African continent here who Koreans are super friendly, loving and kind too. They say they have never been treated with such kindness. But, it depends on how lucky you are. England is the same sometimes.
@@kind0fkorean I am just aware that asian culture is known to worship white people and would regard white over their own. There is nothing wrong with having a preference but the Asian’s preference for white as the ONLY beauty standard is twisted and toxic. It does no good for society to harbor such an ongoing mindset. But I guess media is to blame for such a skewed perception … meh
Excellent video. Lived in Korea, married a Korean, and now I have 3 Korean-American kids.
3 years in Nonsan and 3 years in Cheonan :)
