heard many negative things about korean men being sexist af. i'd rather a nice singapore nugget king
Yeah it's unfortunate
i find that what people's idea of what is romantic is very subjective. A gesture to a person can be seen romantic to one, and super cringe to the other. I feel like at the end of the day, it all comes back to love language.
You mean subjected to how you look?
@jiawei0917 ??? You lost the plot there bud. Reread what I said. I clearly state what is subjective.
Alright calm down mate
"Sing Mog" (醒目)，a common Hong Kong Cantonese street slang）means Good Situational Awareness. In Singapore people generally refer it as "Street smart" . Hope this will help some viewer wondering what is "Sing Mog" (醒目).
I also think perhaps 'tactful' would also be a good vocabulary to describe that situational awareness sensing in English.
Guys go and read 5 languages of Love. If you expressed the wrong language to the partner, it will never be romantic. First get to know the love language of your partner.
1. Words of encouragement
2. Works - do things
3. Gifts
4. Time
5. Touch
These are the lists, ask your partner and have them place their preferences in order so that you can express the right love language.
Use this as a dating topic and dicuss and get to know each other better
Should have talked about the 5 love languages. Bring romantic means finding out what your partner’s love language (gifts, act of service) and intentionally do them to make them happy
And how a mismatch in love language (receiving and giving) and cause some problems
dating is romance in korea but it all breaks down when he got you caught, hook, line and sinker. then it all becomes a power play because a lot of them are still extremely misogynistic, and the use of domestic violence in korea is also still very common.
this was a fun ep but it was harder to keep up with because of the overlapping convos, altho thanks for the interesting discussion!
I met my wife from my uni friend group outing, I agree that when friend filter for you and set things up usually got intention for both the couple on a long term and future view.
are we closer to oppa or lampa 😭😭😭
They have no idea how korean men actually are...but if that's what they want, who's stopping them? Also, what the girl mentioned was all about the guy doing 'everything' on the date and making her feel loved, but she didn't mention anything about what she does for the guy. Food for thought..
if we're talking about what's good and bad about red cars or blue cars, it's low social awareness to inject how motorcycles also have bad points.
Just my opinion on the last part nearing on the 30min mark.
I believe most people undermined the term language. The reality is words are only 10%, your tone is 30% and body language is 60%. When you meet your partner, the vibe you get immediately from seeing them is your subconscious mind reading the subtle body language of the 60%.
Body language is hard to lie, its a fact. Humans naturally have an acute sense of intepreting body language and tone.
Love mainly comprises in 3 forms, intellectually, financially and physically.
When a majority % of your love runs on intellectual love. It is alot more sustainable because you are constantly reminded on why you love that individual and your body language shows without much effort. Hence, these couples usually last the longest with least effort.
Sadly, most couples these days go for physical love or financial love as their majority %. Unsustainable to keep the love going because the motivation to stay excited fades when their beautiful face becomes a norm or when you are used to a better financial lifestyle.
So you end up finding yourself whether what you have was truly love or it was all a facade.
ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON👍👍⚘️⚘️
Alison is so into the oppa thing
Really depends on the language of love...that is what each recognise as love.
its ok. btw that SG girl in the tiktok, many Singaporean guys feel exactly the same way about SG girls as well 😂
the feeling is mutual 😂
I LOLED SO HARD AT THE BLOOPERS
Looks like many young women are confusing what they see the romantic dramas (primarily targeting female audiences) with reality. Reality is often not the same.
Hahah John, Seng Mok probably means situational awareness. Not Seng Mok means lack of situational awareness. 懂事 means sensible. So it’s a different meaning 😊
seng mok (is cantonese) is 醒目 in chinese!
Depending on how that Korean dude was raised actually... A Gyeongsangnamdo man i knew was kind and sweet, but rather brusque... He will unexpectedly suddenly hang his jacket on me and just walk on without saying anything.. and sometimes he would turn my shoes around when we are leaving a place... He doesnt say much but i can only think his actions showed his heart... But one day when i went to hike and was a bit lost..he was worried but outrageously mad and screamed at me... It was scary. He didnt want to talk to me for quite some time... Also there was one day i didnt do the dishes and he was angry with me for that too... I still cant make sense of some things that happened...
thank you for making my day a little more exciting 🙆♀️
The thumbnail !!!! 😂
Love it too!
thanks for loving it! I worked hard on it hahahahaa #Jonise

Not many women know this but there have been so many instances where most Korean guys can be pretty obsessive to the point where they forbid their girlfriends (including Korean women) to meet other dudes out of jealousy plus most Korean men can be quite misogynistic too.
This is a response to how much effort they have invested in the courting phase. Isn't that obvious?
@@987ujhpl Yeah so it's negative in the long run
I know of a Korean woman who needed to get approva from her husband on the skirt she will be wearing out
No need to share any views here let them go n try or test then they will knows how it's feel like..😂😅
@@jyt7681well don't dress like that after marriage that's sensible
It’s a fair preference. Many Sg men also prefer other Asian countries girl as well.
Korean male friends agree - curse of the dramas. Expectations goes out of proportion
Singaporean women prefer Korean because they've actually NEVER dated one. What they like is the idealistic image of Korean men that are presented on screen.
Coming from personal experience, all i can say is, wake up your idea and stop fantasizing.
0:37: ! A Singaporean girl in Korea talks about dating in Korea compared to Singapore.
4:14: 🗣 The video discusses the evaluation and communication styles in Chinese dating culture.
7:55: 📅 Blind dating is common in Korea and should be normalized in other countries.
23:18: 💑 The speaker discusses their experience with romance in a relationship and how their partner is more romantic than them.
11:50: 🗣 The speaker discusses the use of terms like 'oppa' and 'ajusshi' in Korean culture to address older men and women.
15:38: 🤝 Small gestures of thoughtfulness and planning in relationships are meaningful.
19:10: 💑 The speaker discusses the importance of romantic gestures and attentiveness in a relationship.
26:52: 💑 The most romantic thing a girl did for the speaker was planning a birthday surprise with clues to find the presents.
30:55: 💑 The concept of romance has evolved and varies from person to person, with some valuing direct expressions of love and others preferring acts of service or gifts.
Recapped using Tammy AI
Media/K-drama has an influence on the perception of romance. K-dramas show very idealized romantic gestures, such as holding the umbrella for the girl and the guy getting his shoulder rained on. In a genuinely caring relationship, if the girl were to care for the guy, I am sure she would not want the guy to get rained on and get sick.
So after viewing these dramas/media, many women think thatALL Koreann guys are like the dramas. This is unfair for guys as they are compared to unrealistic K-drama romantic standards. K-drama is fictional, exaggerated, and gives idealized scenarios to get people to watch and viewership numbers up for ad revenue. Dramas are Not a very accurate representation of real life. Dramas just give idealized views or perpetuate stereotypes, tropes, and archetypes. Enjoy K-dramas for the story, but they are in no way a n accurate reflection of life.
I think one tends to over-generalize with sweeping statements when comparing different nationalities’ romancing behaviors. I agree tho tt love languages are an impt way of knowing how to make your partner feel loved. I also have to emphasize tt the romance changes thruout the relship as it progresses from initial courtship to engagement to marriage to parenthood. It might seem sad to forgo all the romantic grand gestures tt previously were present in the courtship years but if what replaces tt is consistent, faithful & loving behavior of being there for each other no matter what, then perhaps tt matured love is what can stand the test of time.
Hb’s romantic gestures:
1) preferring to come home asap to me & kid & hv dinner w us instead of gg for after-work drinks w colleagues often
2) massaging my achy muscles during a bad bout of flu when asked
3) washing dishes & clearing the sink wo being asked (albeit tt happens once in a blue moon…😂)
4) always including me in the wedding & outing invites tt he receives
5) protecting me from having to interact with those family members who have done much harm to me
6) NOT flirting with other females when I am not around & especially when I am around.
7) helping me hang laundry while I wash & fold them for daily division of labour
8) depositing his entire salary into our joint bank account bcos I am a stay home mum
My romantic gestures:
1) fetching hb fr work everyday wo fail even when I am ill
2) preparing/reheating meals everyday for the family even when I am ill
3) hugging him before bedtime
4) washing bathrooms for him when he cannot do it according to roster (not the most romantic gesture a person can imagine…)
5) ironing his workshirt for him when he asked (even tho I am in charge of my kid’s & my own clothes while he’s in charge of his for ironing)
6) trimming his hair for him as & when he needs to for impt meetings etc etc
7) ordering his fav foods everyday
8) NEVER demanding a diamond ring from him bcos I believe an object can never signify how impt I am to him. I demand for consistent faithfulness & stability for our family instead.
9) choosing to buy a teacup puppy to give me the attention & love instead of gg elsewhere for it bcos hb is wayyy too busy & stressed about his work
9) depositing my entire inheritance into our joint bank account & not hoarding money elsewhere
Real life is more than romance; real life takes a lot of hard work; real life needs consistent acts of service to make a marriage work. Real life is REALLY TOUGH.
At the end of the day, I believe in marriage vows & being true to Jesus w my marriage vows. I hv nvr taken it lightly & hopefully, neither will hb. 🙏
It’s also v true tt all this is subjective & what is romantic to me by hb will be cringeworthy to me if done by someone else. THAT IS LOVE. ❤️
Over hyped by drama
Lol like end of the day certain gestures are like.. consistency..
Humans are different in their own ways. Be it male of female. Most ppl will prefer looks, some prefer character… is their own choice. At the end of the day. It is still up to both parties to make the relationship work, regardless of the situation.
Denise was the exact korean word you were after for sense "Nunchi"?
The guys are so paiseh when talking about romantic things they did 😂
There is just 1 fine line between romance and desperation.
Once married already all gone😂
So true. Once married , regardless of race, all gone
I love my SG man hahaha!

this episode is so funny. how john says oppa.
Trade off w dating korean men might just be the conservative/traditional culture where the guys have a more "big man" role 大男人主义; Agree with john chua regarding certain gestures/acts that guys get teased about that they eventually avoid in order not to mislead or be mistaken about; john paul's point about ending up as a "servant" is kinda valid though there is nothing wrong with serving one another/partner especially if you are married, just need to ensure one isnt too used to it that they take it for granted. Cant agree w the ladies about dressing up being their part in romance though
i think among all of them, Dennis 's intro "This is your Daily Ketchup" is still the best. 😂😂👍👍
Im not trying to blow our own horn. But Singaporean men are pretty amazing. You observe that increasingly, there are more men who will wear the apron in the house and are even better at taking care of the kids than the ladies. More men are willing to take the path less taken and work in the conventionally female dominated industry, and even excel in what they do. Many men also value their own passion and even venture into areas e.g. social entrepreneurship, social services that contribute back to the society even if it doesn't pay that well. Alot of the younger sg men search for meaning in what they do or to do what is meaningful to them.
Singaporean men are usually confident, well-mannered and family oriented. That's our strength. And we ought to be aware of our 'value'. I certainly think Singaporean men are valuable in the dating market. And if sg ladies think otherwise, so be it. The world is our oyster.
And it's not romanticism that will sustain a marriage. It's responsibility, committment, communication and quality time especially when you have kids in the dynamic that will sustain a marriage. You know why i know? Because I have two kids and my wife and i are already 15 years together.
Next topic "how to love your parents"
There is this thing about the fantasy of Korean romance...
so funny when they tekan JP sia, lols XD
I have come across negative things about korean men too.They are rude, sexist and judgemental and impatient.The culture between SG and Korean is diff in a way.We are use to our Singaporean culture and with our singlish and I love that.Differentiating SG men and Kor men is based on one;s perspective.Dating between Kor men and Sg men is also based on one;s perspective.Who says SG men not handsome?There are handsome guys out there in Singapore like my Church friends!For me,I prefer dating Sg men as we share the same culture and we can understand better.If I date a foreigner,I will have a difficult time just to adapt to their culture and their behaviour.
It’s true, it’s true!
Romance doesn’t pay bills😂
can the romantic shxt last till marriage as husband and wife with kids... if it's just bf/gf feel good thingy, then it's all a show.. after marriage still can have so sweet thing mah...
That Singapore girl IS Pretty attractive though.
Actually sg men love korean girls too lol
generally when it comes to dating, girls want to stay still and look pretty and their idea of "romance" is getting chased while not putting in any effort. double standard much.
when you talk to female friends around you, you'd notice they want a romantic guy that gets her flowers, plan the date, pick her up etc. but when you ask them what do they give the guy in return, you'll find out that the typical response you get from them is these below that somehow allows them to think they dont think they need to put in extra effort -
1. effort spent on dressing up
2. energy spent on going out with someone
3. money spent on makeup
they've probably never thought about how their 3 points apply to men as well
1. everyone has to dress up for dates even guys?
2. planning and research PLUS the anxiety of having to think about a backup plan for the girl in case she isnt happy with the initial plan? and having to think about conversations?
3. hair products or fragrances to look and smell good too? what about paying for the date, petrol and flowers?
there are more requirements set out for a guy to date a girl than there is for a girl to date a guy.
well with that being said, i hope everyone find their own special someone.
to the SG girl being interviewed ..... Bcu you r foreigner in Korea, so the Korean guy will give u more attention only.
Obviously the Singaporean lady who claims that Korean guys are “better” than Singaporean Men wasn’t married to one yet. Many end up being the victim of wife beaters. Watching too much Korean dramas is indeed hazardous to health and well being. 🤣🤦🏼♂️
In Singapore we don’t pat head… we ka nah ji.
For boy friend maybe Korean men are better but for husband Singapore men definitely are better than the Koean men.
댓글들이 참 귀엽네 ㅋㅋㅋ 힘내 친구들
14:59 - 15:05 Jon sounds like Pat 😂
I feel cold. I am cold-rean.
Singaporean guys not romantic? I travelled the entire country just to find one battery for her :') and i wasnt even officially hers
I think instead of drawing a line between country, need draw line between just GOOD and BAD guys. hahaha, cause each country has it's own fare share, but generally GOOD and BAD will have one.
Watching too much kdrama and kpop lah. That's the thing about a country's soft power. With soft power, you can win over the hearts and minds of the masses without a war, and guess what? SG has zero soft power.
A lot SG men also want Malaysian wife. Demand for SG gf is decreasing.
Singaporean are heavily westernized. Real Asian men plan out all the dates and real men. But you can’t really say that most Singaporean are traditional Asian. They are extremely westernized
I am Malaysian born Chinese. Why Singaporean women prefer Korean men? As simple as abc Singaporean men isn't handsome like Korean men.
i feel like i will have the same responses as JP if i'm there. that walaueh when Allison say "we dress up". 🤣
Why sg men prefer korean women?
Korean dramas are popular in korea because its a fantasy and different from their real lives.
ppl love to live in fairy tales as usual hahah
Singapore men didn't make drama like Korean drama
yes, sg men dont beat women because they are urly, korean men does
Korea soft power shape Korean love relationship, Singapore literally have no soft power so everything is so traditional
Kissing off coffee spills
Handsome: Awww so sweet~
Average: Sexual harassment
Why Jon always says "Riiiiiggggggggghhhhhhhhhttttttt"?
Because they are delusional
Delulu, is the solulu
Other countries bigger..many places to go and plan..SG so small..everywhere you go all everything look and feel same..everyday or every week give you eat nasi goreng u also sure sian mah..then will feel like stagnant and no effort..influenced by too much k-drama then UP standard very high
Chinese men from China are very Similar to Korean men and into putting much effort and very caring and generous . But most of y’all don’t practice any Chinese culture and traditions but y’all are extremely westernized that’s the reason.
that girl should see how John dated Pat den she know what's wrong
TDK y no sherms again
13:00 LMAO
Heung Min Son is the only Oppa i know. The Korean Prince
I agree with her though. She's right majority of SG men don't know
Allison is so cute
No attraction = creepy & try hard.
Guys don’t make you feel loved during initial dates, it will if it’s a relationship,,one girl’s experience do not make Korean guys r better than Sg men…I bet some Korean girls will say Sg men are better than Korean men , so it’s subjective….
I don't like bring big umbrella so last time out with any girls I rather get half my body wet than let the girl get wet
Algooooooooooooooooooooooo
Second!
They were influenced by watching K-drama.
Because SG men have smaller pinis.
watch too much k drama and k pop lol.
Watch too much K-pop
hypergamy
I think our Singaporean men should improve their romantic life. Girls watched a lot of Korean and Japanese drama and expect their dates to perform better!
Don’t blame on the girl, do something about yourselves!
JP will not make a good boyfriend.
