Something similar happened to my Korean ex. When her grandma died there was a huge fight over the estate and her 2 uncles basically stiffed her father. His vengeance? Moved his family to Canada and rebuilt his life. The 2 brothers basically failed at life and when they asked him for help he basically answered them "I'm Canadian I don't speak Korean" and hung up.
Society there is entirely against non-Koreans, courts, laws, customs, rules, etc. It's overwhelming unless you have a Korean that knows the culture and stands in / up for you against everyone else.
Very sad story. Why would you want to stay in Korea with your new wife? Too many bad experiences there. Hopefully your move will is a blessing ,you have had enough pain.
He doesn't say where they will live move too? Will he go back to Australia 🇦🇺 or will he try living in the Philippines 🇵🇭, one thing he will never own property in the Philippines unless he has money to buy a condo but no land or houses 🤔
Rough situation for the first part, not discounting that at all. But coming back with a wife that is also foreign and having the expectation that the gov is going to provide benefits, the possibility of citizenship for your baby ect just doesn't make any sense. As soon as your first wife passed, and you went through that hell I would have had no had any expectation that the gov is going to provide for anything. If you had married another Korean I could see how you would have expectations. But making the choice to marry another foreigner, then bring her back to Korean by your own choice with her pregnant, then expect them to treat your baby as a citizen because you yourself made the decision to go back there to live again just isn't logical. I guess it's possible I'm just different than most, but as a foreigner I have no expectations that another country will provide me with anything. I'm planning to moving to the Philippines in the next 2 years and have zero expectations of being provided with a single thing. Maybe I just come from an old school foundation of thought which has me having no expectations except from my own country. Throughout the entirety of this story you express over and over expectations from other people. Even having expectations from people who just the days or weeks before took actions that showed you they saw you as an outsider. Overzealous expectations are the thief of happiness, so good gravy man keep your expectations in line with reality. Also, learn both the culture and also the language. If this story was about a guy who had only been in Korea for a year or 2 it would make more sense, but you had over a decade of time to gain the understanding. I'm usually not this harsh when responding to these stories, but this is one to where lack of knowledge, understanding and language just isn't a good excuse. Condolences on the loss of your first wife, but everything else in this story should really the a billboard sized signal that your expectations and investment in knowledge are just not where they need to be. But that said, I wish you the best in the future, and very much hope you can take these pitfalls as learning lessons so you don't end up continuing the actions that lead to more pitfalls.
@@TalesBeyondHorizons Same here brother. It's really hard for me to be this rough, but the guy really needs some tough love or he's going to end up repeating bad decisions that are going to impact his new wife and child.
ok, i guess you have met some bad thais. I know several people who have been divorced from their thai wifes, but still have contact with their family in laws, even visits them.
@theescapetrix please don't do. No kids as well. Be very careful with everyone. They have really nice people but they can turn on you in seconds. No matter how nice you have been or they have been. And of course they have genuinely nice people as well but you will never know until you really need they help.
@@wgt.Th0maz700I just look how things work in Thailand. I have 24 years of experience. I have a condo on my wife's name. But I paid for everything. God forbid she would pass away first I am 99.9999% sure they would want to take it all. Because I have "enough ". Although they know it is mine. They addressing it as "your condo". This would very swiftly change I assure you.
This was such a hard listen. Bless this guy and his Aussie stoicism. Always liked the Aussies as straightforward 'fair dinkum' people and count many as mates in the UK. Have interacted with Koreans here and there and always amazed at how cold and distant they are as well as their lack of English. A shame really considering how beautiful ~90% of their women are. I'm glad he fell in with the Pinays, who are easily some of the best people in the world. Keep your chin up mate and keep fighting the good fight and my condolences on the death of your ex wife
Hard to fight tradition and culture - all bound together in the government, justice and social system. Always good to keep in mind and always be in the defensive, that a foreigner will always be an outsider and will never belong regardless of being white, yellow, black or olive skin. Thank you for sharing your South Korean experience...an eye-opener to a lot of k-pop dreamers.
I would'nt have been so nice to those who did'nt care. Since they did'nt respect your wife, why should you respect them. Bad husband? yeah.. well, sticks and stones, you can call me what you want.
I almost cry listening to this story as, i m Same age with no children and my asian wife got cancer too 😢. I know how hard it is ! I'm happy that he found a new wife and have baby ! I would love to know where are they going to live now ? Phlippin , australia ? What does he do for living ? Is the healph of the son is ok ? How old is his new wife ? And finally, is he happier now with filipina wife and a son ?
This story breaks my heart. I understand the criticism, but I also lived in Asia for years. Nothing like this happened to me, thank God, but I can see it very well. They all smile to your face and are very polite, but you can never be one of them, no matter what you do. Of course this man was at a loss of what to do! His wife died. His in-laws were the only people he had. He just didn't see it coming until it was too late. This story is very believable. If you've been there, you know how if can happen. Otherwise, it's very hard to understand.
Tremendously frustrating.. why havent you seek a lawyer fr the Australian embassy? It couldve been more practical on your side, i feel sad abt your case that those people you dealt with and the wife’s relatives were money hungry..i feel sorry for what you went through ..but life finally has made a big turn , given you a wife, a son and hopefully all is well.. i would suggest you go back to Australia or stay in the philippines.. god sees u.stay blessed!
It doesn’t surprise me too much that he found a decent woman in the Philippines. I lived there for eleven years. In Manila. Makati City. As a foreigner. There are good ones (women) and bad ones everywhere. It’s a given. Pros and cons. But in the Philippines they are better at making their husbands happier. I have been told by other foreigners who are married to Filipino women. They are mostly Catholic too which might make a difference. I have been all over Asia including living in countries in Asia. I have found Filipino women to be the most beautiful. Because of their Asian/Spanish mix.
Well, I could tell as a south korean descent that all these sad facts are true in Korean´s society that only focus on money, not on people, that´s why many people there commit suicide. I would tell the long and tragedy history of my mom who migrate to fu ck underdeveloped country called Brasil, suffered a lot as immigrant, lost her daughter for suicide and last year, she died totally alone, because her sisters who are living in South Korea didn´t want to take care of her despite my mom bought a house to my grandmother and they sold the house without any gratitude, they just used her property that was bought after 12 years working after ran away from home at the age of 16. They didn´t send a simple message for me and any condolensces and now i´m 49 years old, totally alone, no family, no kids, and having these tragical background in my whole family that is extincted. Well, these is SOUTH KOREA without SOUL, HUMANITY and soon will face a war against NORTH KOREA that is another tragedy society with oppression regime. Like these suffered foreign at the end we only have our UNIVERSAL GOD to support us. And all people who harmed him will pay in another life the same bad and cold treatment that he had received.
I got a story of my ex wife who is Taiwanese and her Taiwanese family that put me through hell with racism, arrogance, selfishness, aggressive attitude, mentality which almost led me to suicide a few times until I was smart enough to leave
You were too good for your late wife's family. You should have taken a good lawyer from the start, and make their lives hell. Every expectation from her family concludes with a disappointment, so why expect anything? All the best with your new family.
Wow! A great insight into the way the Koreans treat foreigners. If I have not watched this video, I would not have believed that Korean are so racist and discriminate foreigners so much.
I KNOW HOW HE FEELS I AM 62 WITH NO CHILDREN ! AFTER I WENT HOME AFTER SEEING MY FILIPINO GIRLFRIEND SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGNANT BUT REALLY SHE WASN'T SHE EVEN CONFESSES AFTER THE SUPPOSED DUE DATE THAT SHE DID HAVE BABY AND SHE SAID IT DIED ONE DAY AFTER BIRTH SHE WAS THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ALL BYE WE ARE NO LONGER TOGETHER AS OF 6 WEEKS AGO
S Korea is pretty bad country, even with all advances in technology. My fried told me he barely escaped the country. He was a teacher there, and if your boss doesn't allow you to leave you can't, he just went to airport and left.
Seriously our woke government and people should hear your story and than maybe we won’t get immigrats or refugees that come to western countries and just demand, demand and feel in titled to everything without trying to integrate. My mother died not long ago and as soon as we got my mums ashes back, my brother and his wife went through and divided up her jewellery and $$$. I thought it was disgusting and that we didn’t need to do that as it should go to dad as that was what was discussed years ago. I think that the mentality of people who grew up in those countries and we just aren’t used to it, so it becomes offensive to us who did not grow up in that environment. Also many of those countries have little safety nets.
This have nothing to do with country mentality. If people agree to terms and do opposite it just shows they don't have morals. Stealing and not to keep one's word just shows real person's value.. Some people just love money more than to be honest to others. In S.Korea this is just a common thing if author of this story have right.

I’ve never been to S Korea but I’ve watched enough K-dramas to know you always need the ink stamp!
The chop
Why is OP just being a pushover and giving these people his hard earned money?
Society there is entirely against non-Koreans, courts, laws, customs, rules, etc. It's overwhelming unless you have a Korean that knows the culture and stands in / up for you against everyone else.
5min in and i can tell this is a pretty sad story…
Not the nicest of experiences to go through, thats for sure.
Sad story, but not at all surprising. My own experiences in Korea weren't nearly this bad, but enough that I have never had any desire to return.
Very sad story. Why would you want to stay in Korea with your new wife? Too many bad experiences there. Hopefully your move will is a blessing ,you have had enough pain.
Exactly what I thought when reading his email, should have left. Sounds like he still had things to take care of there.
He doesn't say where they will live move too? Will he go back to Australia 🇦🇺 or will he try living in the Philippines 🇵🇭, one thing he will never own property in the Philippines unless he has money to buy a condo but no land or houses 🤔
you did not finish the video he said he will travel to australia with his wife and son soon

I really hope he sees this comment.

this comment makes more sense then mine. hope he reads this too. good luck guy
Excellent comment! Exactly my thoughts.
When you think the West is racist .... I am married to a thai woman in Thailand it would be the very same.
ok, i guess you have met some bad thais. I know several people who have been divorced from their thai wifes, but still have contact with their family in laws, even visits them.
Crazy it's like this. I'm moving to Thailand in 2026. I'm never getting married.

That's natural human behavior. We in the West are being gaslighted into thinking putting our interests first is a bad thing.

i love these 1 hour videos!
This story is too sad 😢.
I would have left Korea after the funeral
With all the inheritance that was due to him.....
P I love your videos thank you

Wow this is shocking
this is so sad I never knew these people were so cruel I knew they were alcoholics but evil like omh so sorry for him
You were too good for your late wife's family.

All the best with your new family.
you didnt hear the part were lawyers are either trying to scam him for fees or not wanting to work with foreigners at all?
Wow! A great insight into the way the Koreans treat foreigners. If I have not watched this video, I would not have believed that Korean are so racist and discriminate foreigners so much.
Korea and Thailand have a lot of similarities. Westerners are likely to come up against some of the same brick walls.
You should go to Philippines and live there with your filipina wife. You will be treated like a king there.
I KNOW HOW HE FEELS I AM 62 WITH NO CHILDREN ! AFTER I WENT HOME AFTER SEEING MY FILIPINO GIRLFRIEND SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS PREGNANT BUT REALLY SHE WASN'T SHE EVEN CONFESSES AFTER THE SUPPOSED DUE DATE THAT SHE DID HAVE BABY AND SHE SAID IT DIED ONE DAY AFTER BIRTH SHE WAS THE BIGGEST LIAR OF ALL BYE WE ARE NO LONGER TOGETHER AS OF 6 WEEKS AGO
A Good Lesson to Others ! and his mistake to go back again to KR again .
What a horror story..
This is the story of the year
Feel bad for they guy should’ve tried to move to Australia with his wife
They dont even take care of their own children
shocking story m8 shoulda came to Uk doesnt matter how you get here everythings FREE 😅
Top five percent? Korea is a super rich country. No way they were top five.
Ok James.
Unequal County
5% would be around 80k to 100k USD a year
Maybe less a few years ago
SK has a few super rich families. chaebol families. The rest of the country is not like that
S Korea is pretty bad country, even with all advances in technology. My fried told me he barely escaped the country. He was a teacher there, and if your boss doesn't allow you to leave you can't, he just went to airport and left.
I would have gave up on Korea.
Cant get why u returned in korea, when u could have moved to a much friendlier country like Philippines
There's good Catholics?
Yes in Ireland, you don't like them?
❤goes out to you from scotland 😢😢
Why you don’t leave
Why are you still in there?
Why are us till living there? Is my question
Bro..... Just LEAVE!!! I wouldn't have given her daughter a damn thing.
Is this video taken in Korea? Because it looks like Mecca.
It says in the first 10 seconds where the footage is from.
Nana Bangkok
Seriously our woke government and people should hear your story and than maybe we won’t get immigrats or refugees that come to western countries and just demand, demand and feel in titled to everything without trying to integrate.
