Cs Máté Thanks for your kind words but you are talking to an amateur TH-camr who has no idea what "film composition" means lol
Asian Boss really like your work in general, keep going! 👍
Asian Boss thanks for bringing such great content to us viewers!
Asian Boss I'm thinking the same thing. What is this film composition?
Hey Asian boss. Another great interesting video with another famous celebrity on. But I have to say, it's another video about black people being part of Koreans' racism against blacks. And follows that same narrative you would find in the west. But, don't you think it's really not quite the same as it applies to Korea when in fact the first presence of black people in Korea was with the US military. And they came into Korea along with whites as more of a people in power and perpetrators and not as victims. I mean you would have to look no further than some of the half black celebrities like In Soon Yi, Yoon Mi Rae, and others. They were basically dumped in Korean peninsula and left there. I know it's part of Korea that's shameful. But there's this big hole that's not not talked about, and I think is part a more accurate story than what is presented here.
Wow... Oh my goodness. His story is so similar to my husband's... I support Sam 💯! Thanks, Sam and Asian boss for this video!
LILY PETALS WORLD 릴리가족 hi lily.
oh wow I didn't expect to see you here! And I agree with your statement! People need to be more educated.
LILY PETALS WORLD 릴리가족 Lily hey mamaz
LILY PETALS WORLD 릴리가족 Not black in Korea is not a problem, the Korea is for Korean only, why search always problem.
ILY PETALS WORLD 릴리가족 In what way is Sam same as your husband? The only similarity is that they both faced discrimination due to their skin colour, that is all! Sam had the courage and perseverance and stayed in Korea, learned Korean fluently and made something of himself. But your husband didn't have the strength nor tenacity and refused to learn Korean and whinges why he couldn’t get a job in Korea - playing a typical victim! He had to runaway back to a familiar environment! How's living in the USA now?
This is better than BuzzFeed.

"Most Africans are multilingual"
Fact approved by African in comment section ✔️
This is something no one cant compete with us in Africa. In Kenya children first learn their native languages which are more than 50, then Kiswahili and English as national languages. A lot of Kenyans also now speak Chinese.

I was in an officer training squadron for US Army officers years ago and we had foreign officers going through the course. One officer was from Ghana. He was one of the most genuine people I've met.
eggmansizzle that's how we are lol
He's smart, genuine, and likable. Much respect Sam.

He is good looking. And charismatic. I think it helps him a lot :)
It's like any Korean on television
hes famous because hes black in korea thats it :v

Big ups to the Korean friend who came through for him financially when he was experiencing tough times. Friends like these are like angels. Let us all strive to be one
He is very very handsome 😍😍😘sending my love from Kenya 🇰🇪 to my Ghana 🇬🇭 family
As an African, I'm so proud of you Sam♡
Keep on breaking those boundaries and making us proud. 😚
Ami B well said! He has a positive personality which will get good results for him in his career and throughout his life. He would not progress well in a foreign land if he was like some of those angry black men. One of my best friend is from Ghana (they are looking lovely and intelligent people)!
Always good to see fellow Africans shine.
Jill Jack and who are those angry black men you speak of 😒
Ami B same here. Am proud of him as a fellow African.
Who are these angry black people you talking about?
Ok but do you know what will really make you fall in love with this guy? He makes schools in Ghana with the money he gets from show appearances and dramas he’s acted in. Like, he finds land to build the building on and hires teachers.
That is is inspiring and very admirable. 😇😇😇😍
Wow! That's amazing

@Tan Tan you are crazy what you are saying 🤬🤬🤬
@@berembah Why would you tell him to kill himself over a stupid TH-cam comment? It's not that serious lol
As a Ghanaian I could tell he was Ghanaian from his accent whilst speaking Korean before I heard him speak English. I could hear the tone though I don’t understand Korean, it’s crazy how you can know your people🤯
Yeah and his name
hi
SAME
that's impressive
His surname was the first thing i noticed
As a Jamaican I send my respects to this man for doing a well job in the representation of all black people around the world to show that we are intelligent, we are kind and we are all beautiful. Job well done Mr. Sam💯 respects and support from Jamaica.
Best comment ever
My best friend is Jamaican ... I’m Mauritian 🇲🇺
Where in Jamaica 🇯🇲 ur friend is from?
Hail !! Which part of the 🌴 your from?

Forget color. Pay attention to his manners and life goals. That's attractive to me. Color don't got nothing to do with how a person carries himself and treats another.
Yes hun he's even dressed nice too
@@cosmiccrush22 he is even dressed well. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so sad
So you love him 😜
It's great to show the local xenophobes that foreigners can decent people and that as humans we all have the capability to be good and adapt to different cultures.
Amen
Can't believe he is still single.. he is wonderful.
He wants the Black Pink
He is still in his 20s.
Why in the Hell would you want to marry when you are a single foreign Male in Korea 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@ZENSIBLE Entertainers in South Korea (men and women, but specially women) tend to postpone open relationships because the market (fans) tends to bash them when they get a partner. I think he suffers from that same problem. Anyway, he is not only handsome, but also charismatic and famous ($). Given that condition, he will probably find a good partner in the future.
ZENSIBLE what’s your meaning?
Ghanaians are smart, humble, caring and can adopt every where they find themselves. I'm from Namibian and I met a few Ghanaians
😘🤗
That’s a fact , but never the same to their own kind 😁
Thanks for loving us
@@Jayzonny eeei😃🤪😃akyer3m
I love all Africans, they are the sweetest people, and I find that the Philipino people are super sweet people as well. Asian men are always very nice and respectful to me.
I’m Asian and I can understand his appeal towards Koreans and Asians in general. He exudes confidence with his intellect and very easy going attitude that makes anyone gravitate to. And the fact that he actually made efforts to learn the culture and the language is even more impressive and greatly appreciated by the locals. His good looks is just a bonus. ❤️
Why do or how do Korean women attract to brown Hebrew men???
His Dark Chocolate skin is so beautiful and he is super intelligent.
@@Diddydiddler776 Why are African American women attracted to Korean men? I know some very attractive Korean men, but what makes them gorgeous to me is how sweet and respectful they are to me.
“You look too good to be an African” is one of the hardest things to respond to, it’s an insult (to you and your ethnicity) with complimentary intentions 🤦🏽♂️.
I regard it more as an insult since in some way it's derogatory towards your relatives.
As if they look any better without their cosmetic surgery.
Jacques Massang Yeah I totally agree... the prolly think they’re complimenting you tho 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Right?! I'm Nigerian, he looks like every other African I know 😂

The reason I clicked on this video is not only because I'm a black and I'm curious, but because this guy's surname shows he's from my country, Ghana🇬🇭❤
"You look too good to be African"???? That's the same backhanded compliment as "you're pretty for a black girl". That friend he had who bought him food and gave him money to get to uni was really kind, selfless and lovely.

oh no! who said that the interviewer? I didn't have time to listen to the entire interview.
MartiniqueTheStoryteller no sam talks about how this one girl told him that in the subway
Unfortunately black Americans say stupid things like that to Africans as well
Sam is so handsome! And it's so weird hearing him speak English, lol! I've only ever heard him speak Korean.
and I love his attitude too!
his english accent is pretty darn good for a guy who grew up in africa and Korea
Well Ghana's official language is English so that would explain it.

@@derrellrose7020 But it was a Chinese woman.🤣
Derrell Rose what's wrong with YOU? It's common for people to correlate and compare between people of a minority group. As an Asian American, I've always been told by other Americans that I look like this or that Asian person they've seen on Tv. Try to get out more to get a bigger perspective on the world. The people there are not different than the people here.
Derrell Rose lmaooo y’all out of pocket
After living in Korea for 3 years as a black man I can vouch for almost everything he is saying! At first you are kind of afraid that you will be treated this way your entire stay in the country but then you integrate and learn the culture and fall in love! S. Korea is one of the best countries on earth I absolutely love it there!
Julius Carter i want to go there soon😌
Take me with you, it's awkward being black in Australia lol
Where are you from originally

Reggie Noble hahaha!!!
Sam Okyere stated..."do not allow anyone to dictate your life" & I heard him loud & clear👌🏾
I salute you, bro! Stand up for your rights as a human being. We are children of God and God loves you, irregardless of your race, color or beliefs.
"Create your own opportunities!!" Wow! Powerful. He's driven, passionate and handsome. 🙅🏽♀️
Guy is so well spoken and eloquent. representing right brother!
if he was white would you mention he's well-spoken
no. Literally no.
He really is.. and in the opening when he was speaking Hangugeo I was like DAMN.. Seems like a great guy.
Pyramid Tank oh shut up
Pyramid Tank he could be white and not be very well spoken as well.
This guy set a great example of how to succeed in life no matter what the circumstances are. Much respect from one brother to another.
totally agree! if only the black population in places like chicago, detroit, south africa etc felt the same way!
november132 All three places you mentioned are places where hope is stifled by racism from whites, inequality in education and the justice system, police brutality and the legacy of apartheid/Jim Crow. He is Ghanaian, his subconscious thoughts are not that he lives in a society where his life is valued less or that his livelihood or his life can be taken from him on the basis of skin color by Neanderthals.
So next time you want to compare blacks from majority black countries vs ones where whites are the majority think long and hard about what makes them different.
Luck plays a huge role in ur successful regardless of how hard u work
Bac King Chance favors THE PREPARED MIND.
TheCRTman Fancy seeing you here
Ghanaian men are so handsome and classy at the same time 🇬🇭

not everyone. one man being like that doesnt mean every ghanian man is like that
He does look a little bit like Will Smith. I probably wouldn't have thought about it if he hadn't said it but after he said it, I could see it.
He looks nothing like Will Smith. Thats ridiculous.
@Dyy Xyd I think I'm going to delete that comment to keep any other hurt person from replying.

@@adiiii7828 hmm if dats true then its very bad
@@chounkakadatakeo1984 How u doing
As a young black guy just getting into Korean culture with the hopes of visiting one day, Sam is making it a better experience for me by his representation, and I’m truly thankful.
No brother, Sam has been shunned by Koreans for calling out racism in Korea. Apparently none of his high profile friends stood up for him.
Go back home brother, Ghana is doing well.
As a Korean, whenever I hear about the discrimination of black people in Korea, feel so sorry and get embarrassed. To write a few, Korea was quite closed to foreign people. So people over 60 literally discriminates foreingers. Because of the Hollywood movies and some cultural trends, they surely prefer white and are scared of black. But people like Sam is trying so hard to change the point of view, and also the generation is being changed. As Young people in Korea are very opened and we know the manner, Korea will be different and better from now. I hope that I could see Koreans hanging around freely with various people from the world soon.
Victoria Lee This is nice to hear- I wonder though, how do young people in Korea learn about racism towards foreigners (and how to stop it)? it seems like it would be difficult. Is it through people like Sam who share their experiences with racism, or by researching online?
Well I think the biggest reason is younger ones are more educated than before, and we have more opportunity to go outside of Korea and meet various people. Also Sam and others changed the view too. So we don't get educated by school or organizations, I think we are just getting involved in international flow and our moral minds are gettigbetter and better. Am I giving the right answer?
Victoria you are a very sweet girl. I hope this changes too.
Victoria Lee Yes, thank you! That clarifies a lot, actually. I wonder if theres a different impact on young people in Korea who meet foreigners that travel to Korea? I've heard a lot of travelers say they don't feel comfortable pointing out racist actions when they're in a foreign country, especially Korea because there's an emphasis on being polite. (Your English is awesome, by the way! 😊)
Hmm, I bet we have impact on people who travel to Korea. They give us international minds. And some of them shows very good impressions so we can be more familiar with foreigners too!
Thanks for your words though, but I can't understand the 'I've heard ~ polite' sentences T.T
im happy he's representing people of color with good vibes and finally starting to make koreans realize everyone of one race isn't the same.
Edit: I said people of color to round up people who wasn’t white, minorities sounds like a better fit, tbh I don’t like saying that either, I just wish we could just be us. The point is, we need to treat each other better. Hate doesn’t do anything except make things worse.
what does ppl of color mean who are ppl of color ?
people of color are basically minorities and anyone who isn't white such as Latinas, indians, blacks etc.
MrCupse people of color is basically everyone who isn't white example blacks Hispanic Asian
white is color so whites are ppl of color too ............ this seems super dumb to me esp since in africa or asia whitesa re minority like i dont get who comes up with these words expect racists
MrCupse they aren't people of color yeah white is a color but white peoples aren't people of color even if they are minorities in Africa
In August 2020, Sam Okyere made an instagram post condemning the use of Blackface in a South Korean graduation photo. He got a TON of flack and criticism, thousands of racist comments and remarks including "Go pick some cotton, Go back to Africa" etc. He eventually APOLOGIZED for making the post and deleted as if Sam was in the wrong!
Blackface in all its forms is incredibly racist and offensive regardless of its intention. Sam Okyere was absolutely right to criticize its use, and it's disgusting and disturbing that through his protest he was viewed as the bad guy. Koreans have a long way to go in terms of race relations if this is how they treat their most prominent black celebrity.
😂😂😂😂😂
For real. It’s amazing how quickly they turned on him.
I doubt koreans said go pick cotton, since it would make no sense in korea. But social media will always give back hate and ignorance when you speak truth and call out injustice.
@@murderofcrows2179 Well they do learn about slavery in the U.S so I wouldn’t be surprised if they did say that
@@sophia-yd3ds it still would make no sense in korea..you know korea was 90% slaves about 70 years back..koreans picked cotton...so that phrase only makes sense in US
Am Cameroonian and I love this guy, so determine and hardworking
Like when people tell me I don’t look Mexican
“Sorry I forgot my sombrero and mariachi at home”
Lol
😂😂😂
I know right😂😂
😆
There is no such thing as a Mexican. Mexico is a country it's not a race, so the fact that someone told you that you don't look Mexican is not an insult...get over yourself
You made Ghana proud!!! and all blacks as well.
Awal K. Dafirst for real bro proud ver proud
The Journalist is great and brilliant with his questions. Nice to see such smartness and eloquence from Sam. Nice show.
I stumbled upon this interview randomly and I'm glad I did. This is exactly what this generation should watch because you are a role model - you could be a model too😉 Handsome, articulate and humble. A go getter! We're all so proud of you...The journalist did a fantastic job as well, you asked all the relevant questions.

This is my new favorite episode of Asian Boss
The moment he said taxi driver I knew he was one of us 👏🏽👏🏽Thanks for representing us and all black peoples very well.
Oh God
I am so impressed with Sam Okyere's attitude, outlook, and strength despite the adversity he has faced in Korea. He is not only a great role model for foreigners and or Blacks in Korea, but for Koreans period. This was a great interview. I like how it was honest and not sugar coated.
Funny I've had several dreams that I lived in Korea for a while. It was a very vivid dream, it felt so real.
As long as you don't fall on your balls into the water. You'll be fine
Greeting I have to admit you are very beautiful and thanks for understanding black men such as me and sam.
I love being black,best thing ever in my life!!!!
I feel the same way about being white.
yasashii89 It's not the same, because minorities have faced and overcome discrimination while white people generally have not (only exception is poor whites, who still have it better than poor minorities). That's all I'll say for now because I really don't want to get into this argument.
I love being black we age well

My dad was in the Korean war decades ago ,he said the Korean people were wonderful but Europeans
were not kind to them at all. he was pleased at how warm they were to blacks.
Janet Reece I was in Korea at about...2011 i think. Taegu. And yes, the Koreans LOVED Black folks. They were kinda cold to the whites in my unit though.
Kenson King ,The reason we get the horrible treatment here is because we are in the 2nd Egypt.
anyway my dad was in the Korean war decades ago ,he loved the Koreans but was hurt and shocked
when he saw his fellow soldiers treat them so badly. when my dad came home he know longer had
a close relationship with The Most High ,he said it was so terrible the way the non-blacks treated
them. He was a country boy never seen killing like that. a man of heroic honor .he was drafted ,he
told the Navy authority that he would serve his country but kill no man. He often said no way will
I go anywhere to kill a man I don't even know or kill unless its self defense. there were many men
like my dad and Desmond Doss ,fought wars with their minds and hearts ,no weapons.
The journalist asked relevant questions
yeah, sure
Exactly
Yeah he asked good questions.... unlike the "Being Black in Japan" guy that would ask questions like; What's your earliest memory in life, who would you have dinner with dead or alive.... totally irrelevant questions.
Knew nothing about this guy before the video, now I feel so connected to him. What an awesome man
Never seen such a gracious interview...... ! Total respect for you bro, Sam !

Its hard to dislike a genuine kind person. I wish more people in the world could have his personality maybe there wouldn't be an issue with racism if we all put our selfs away and cared about others.
Sheesh this man is on point! Genuine, intelligent, humble yet confident. Dude is definitely inspirational n a role model to all!
The most amazing quality of this man is he is extremely down to earth and very easy to connect with on a personal level. Beautiful human inside out. God bless him with more success and happiness ❤️

It's so wonderful to see people like him out there. He certainly is an is inspiration to all the young ones here. Thank you, you're really doing our country proud.
He's a very intelligent fellow and brings about some good insight.
I am Ghanaian, in ghana we are soo friendly to the point that everyone try to talk to and help foreigner's
I'm soo shocked that we are treated like trash in Asia. ghanaians are always friendly ,cheerful n respectful . We are are brought up to respect every human being regardless of race.
I hope someday we will recieve all the love that we give .
naomi a agyeman not just Ghanaian... Blacks
I completely agree. I am Ghanian as well. If only people treated everyone as people.
Thats what pisses me off. Africans as a whole respect people no matter what race, color etc. But then vice versa they treat Black people like shit. I'm not generalizing but its just straight up retarded
SomeGuy that's super ignorant. Sigh
naomi a agyeman it must be people think that your Nigerian , who's personality is very much different to Ghanaian,
Besides general western concencus is that all Africans are the same live up trees or at most a thatched mud hut, live around livestock and shit in the bush,
No matter where they go, black folk will always find a way to make it.
not really :") thats why everytime u see black folks doing great they tend to brag it up cause thats not happening so often dude.. llol
M Harley ya damn right we do and we will it.
It's in our DNA...this is our planet, all of it
Yessss
Don't be fooled by what they show you... about 90percent of African folks abroad are living it so hard. They do shithole jobs, and that's why Africa need to wake up and learn from Trumps motivation.
I'm proud to be Ghanaian
❤❤❤
I like how he takes responsibility rather than blame others. This makes him the master of his fate. I think he can live anywhere and be successful. Props to you bro.
I am s.korean. I am sorry for my bad english. but I have to say, he is very popular among young korean people. because he is very handsome, funny, and polite & passionative. It seems he is doing very his best and has great personality whenever he appears on variety shows. and i think he is hotter and better looking and more attractive than Will Smith. do you agree??
qltmxmdlwm your english is awesome
i have to go to korea
I don't think so. He really does look a lot like him (especially in the pics where he's modelling) , so I'd say they are about the same. I think his positive image is everything though.
When I was in Korea, I never experienced any problems with young people. Young people seem very open to exploring new ideas and cultures.
Sorry fo bad Korean!
Yesss
Where my Ghanaian atttt,
I love my country ❤❤❤😭😭😭😭😭

Hi
laisライス ❤️
@laisライス
I thought your name was Rice for a second. My mind saw the Katakana first, then the English letters to the left after.
Love it
I cant stop smiling looking at how beautiful you are
I really appreciate they way Sam transformed himself. Much respect!
This warms my heart.. all the best with everything you do bro ✊🏿
I'm happy that Sam made it, but there are a lot more people out there who are still subjected to discrimination. I hope there are more awareness like this everywhere in the world. It really starts with you. Even if they can't speak your language, have compassion and life will be better for everyone.
He is so intelligent and handsome.
And your so beautiful and worth it🤗😘
@Toya - Thanks!! I try my best to impress!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He is so handsome and I just love the way he carries himself.
Sam you are really such a gorgeous human being and I am really happy for being able to watch this interview. Coming across to this interview has helped me build some courage to face some obstacles. Thank you so very much!

He is so humble.
When you fall for someone's personality everything about them becomes beautiful.
