- Today I asked people on the street what's their expectations of Korea and how it was different from Reality.
It was so interesting that even about the same thing, people was thinking of it very differently.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
00:00 Intro
00:29 Interview starts
00:56 Q1. Good Expectations?
01:45 Q2. Bad Expectations?
06:13 Q3. The Last Words
To make friends with Koreans, you just need to learn Korean. When I was studying abroad in China, I studied Chinese diligently to make friends with Chinese people. The difference between speaking the language and not speaking it is huge. It felt like accepting a new culture.
Literally to summarize everything "What people watch in Kdrama and expect it to be the same in reality it's impossible"
It’s quite ridiculous that they would complain about language barriers when going to an exchange program! Isn’t that the reason you study in another country? To learn the language and the culture? Why did they even go to go to Korea if they’re not gonna learn Korean??
Exactly my thoughts lol. They seemed to think that every country in the world speaks english. 😂

They expected an educated country to have English speakers. Actually South Koreans study English soooo much in school. Yet, they can’t speak it. I would expect English competency too.
@@ToadyWoods well they shouldn’t expect to speak English in a non English speaking country
I agree
It would be nice if you interviewed people of colour, like Africans or Indians to see thier experiences in terms of beauty standards and any racism they may or may not encounter.
That's really good idea! Thank you for your suggestion. I'll cover that topic later!
True 😊😊😊
Lol keep this things out of your mind
There are more Indians with light skin color than whole population of korea .
Even Modi has lighter than shade than current president of korea .
Every color is good and one should be proud of it
But don't mark unnecessary stuff that Indians are dark .
@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 Percentage , even tho maybe there are more indians with light skin than the whole Korean population , that doesn't make sense cause percentage is the only things that matter , and I went to India and you can't deny that they have tanned skin ( in this case more than Koreans )
@@veroniquemeika9971 because u would mostly find tanned skin labourers, street vendors , street roamers on roads around India and they are mostly darked due to exposure under sun for longtime .
Even half of the Korean population is little bit pale just like north Koreans but bleaching is massive popular there .
Dravidians only constitute 23% of Indian demographics and rest are Indo Aryans and 3% mongoliod .
It's your fault that u only visited Tamil Nadu and labour , slum or refugee city Delhi
If you interviewed Indians they definitely would have talked about the availability of veg food considering Many Indians are vegetarians and Majority* of non-vegetarians also don't eat Pork or Beef.
Bruh i eat pork and beef , don't talk for everyone 💀
Speak for yourself
He said *the majority* just for the record
Yeah thais is right. hindu and muslim both follow there religion rules strictly.
I just discovered your channel and i can say that, this channel is one of the necessary and useful because i am curious about other lives, cultures especially Korea. Good luck on your vids fighting!✊
Thank you so much for liking my contents
Honestly, just inform yourself on any country you wish to visit or live in for some time. It’s common sense. If you did so for Korea, more than half of what has been mentioned would not have been a surprise to you
Wish this channel all the success 👍🏽
wow thanks a lot!
Nice content...I was expecting how kdramas, kpop stereotypes most have visiting south korea
Thank you! Yes I was expecting that as well before I had interviews. But they didn't have any stereotypes from k-drama or k-pop.
Nice video ❤️
I hope your channel grows bigger
Good luck 💖
Thank you!!
Girl you’re repping Buffalo! You should be all for the spicy food! I am too born and raised in Buffalo and now split my time between Buffalo and LA. The spicy food of Korean cuisine speaks to me as a Buffalonian having high super hot sauce tolerance. We have very minimal Korean food options in Buffalo so I live on it when I’m in LA
Girls at 2:17, Language barriers and you cant get along with other people in Korea? are you serious? havent you guys thought of learning Korean? they werent born in English spoken countries.
Exactly.
This is one thing that people who moved to Korea and love it has said over and over again. Learn the language...language connects you. Those people were able to make friends because they could actually talk to each other...
You guys have to chill. It is normal to expect people (especially the younger generation) to speak English. English is a global language, pretty much every one learns it in school.
nani Noor was spot on her assessment of Korea.
Love your videos ...hello from india😍❤
I wanna visit Korea for the culture and food and the pretty views and I wanna meet people and be friends with them
Just go for a walk in night i want to experience that once in my life. I guess i have to come to korea for that. Such a simple thing but we can't do that in our country
Noor, no matter where you go, girl you rock.
I just wish I could visit Korea one day , and u can as well interview we Africans like shibani said
Thanks for your idea!
the Bulgarian girl sounds very Aussie. I'm guessing she's bulgarian ethnicity but raised in Australia.
She doesn’t have an Australian accent in the slightest she sounds British
Not australian at all! She sounds british.
This isn't even Bulgarian name😑😑😑
Предполагам че името на момичето е популярното българско име Нора. Във всички училища в България се изучава британски английски и то от 7 годишни. Тя се справи много добре!
И аз веднага предположих, че се казва Нора.

Bruh you're in THEIR country. You have to learn their language and not the other way around
I get what you said but there are countries that atleast speak English like in the Philippines (doesn’t have to be fluent) Developed countries, we sometimes assume they atleast speak English
She didn't mean anything bad Tho...she was JUST EXPECTING 🫣 nothing more
@@2o2k78 eh?? What's wrong with your comment?? Typo?? Couldn't get you girl
0:13
Can you tell me the location of this place bc i like it so much and I want to go there if I will have a chance ✨
It’s Yonsei University!
That Bulgarian lady is so beautiful
All the ladies there are beautiful but noor's beauty is a step ahead. She has a queenly look
she's half lebanon.
All Eastern European girls are beautiful.
i live in America and yes, that is a "false stereotype"
It’s funny when English speaking foreigners claim there’s a large language barrier in Korea when the barrier is their own lack of knowledge of the Korean language. Learn fricken Korean if you don’t want language barrier. 🤦🏻♂️🙄
They don't even realize they are being disrespectful and ignorant
nice interviews. 😀 i just have found your channel and i really enjoy your videos, its so informative. keep doing what your doing
That is so lovely☺ Thank you so much for enjoying my contents!!
Well as an indian , i just saw two girls first dancing like chimpazees in my country and when people started looking who these people they claimed sexual harrasment without even touching them or coming close to them. I have a pretty bad idea about korea now
IKR , you just need to be ugly to experience the real racism in SK
It's not,its a disrespectful ND vulgar.these girls just disrespectful to our country and our people.😡😡
sorry about that. they are stupid streamer for gain more views.
this is yonsei university in the background the first second in the video ?
Yes you're right :)
@@JinsStreetInterview actually it’s my dream 🥰
thank u for your replying 😇❤️
In America we speak English. In Korea we speak Konglish.
I wish you interviewed boys as well
Yes true. It was supposed to be a different topic which is for girls but they weren't suit for it. So this topic was kinda substitution😂 Next time I'll make 2nd video of this with boys. Thank you.
I’ve see other videos where when they talk about the negative side or unexpected things they experienced in Korea, they did so with respect but these girls I found very rude. It came off as typical tourists who expect a country to bow to their expectations. Like the ‘why don’t these Koreans speak more English so that we can feel more comfortable’ 🙄
Could you please incorporate black Muslim girls in your videos and their struggles✨.
인터뷰 내용보면 왜 한국에서 사는지 모르겠다
That noor girl from Bulgaria.
Not bulgarian at all
As expected, Americans are marked everywhere.
I think it's natural to reveal American standards elsewhere. I think they're very rude people.
In particular, "Sarang" is presumed to be Korean based on its name.
What are you trying to say?
Oha türk buldum hem de ablamla adaş
To the girl with the curls: 1) Maybe it's because it's not her native language but saying "THE good thing about Korea was the food" with such an emphasis on "the" makes it sound like it's the only good thing which is VERY rude imo. Especially as she's talking to a perfectly nice young man from Korea. 2) Western girls are - comepared to many other places - more "easy" as she calls it. That's just a fact. Speaking as a European woman, promiscuity and having lots of partners is accepted (and sometimes encouraged) to a degree that would be unheard of in many other countries. Many women are actually proud of this aspect of modern Western culture and call it sexual liberation. It's perfectly true that not every Western woman is "easy" (neither am I) but there sure are a lot of us who are. Lots of free milk going around...
Also, two comments about the two American girls: 1) They need to learn Korean, STAT! How can they complain about the lack of English in Korea? That's kinda pathetic, tbh. 2) How can they complain about the fashion choices of Korean people if they are the least fashionable/stylish people in the whole street? And they are fashion students? Just wow.
It is not a fact. I have never heard such thing that Europeans are proud of sexual liberation or they encourage women to be more promiscuous and having lots of partners. That sounds very absurd. I live in Europe and many people take their partners seriously. There is a difference between easy/promiscuous and loving your partner. It is not the same thing. You took out of her context. Nour said these type of men who have stereotypes about western girls being easy is to be found in clubs. If you watched the end of the video, she mentions, you will find Korean men with no stereotypes towards western women in university clubs. This stereotype that Western women are easy exist in many countries, not only in Korea.
한국인이 할소릴 대변해주셔서 감사합니다
우리나라나 서구인들이
이런생각을 많이 하고
바껴야한다 생각합니다
당근 남의나라가면서
배워가야죠.다양한 패션은 서구 문화죠
원래 동양인들은표현력 부족 이건 동양문화죠너무 튀는거 안좋아하고 묵뚝뚝 하지만
맘은 따뜻한분들이 많아요 물론 다른동양이나 서양분들도 그런분들이 많겠죠
저희 나란 다좋은데
제발 발전도 좋지만 좋은건 보존하고 전통좀 지켰음 그런부분미미
너무 빨리변하는건 좋은게 아니고 지킬건 지키고 보존시킬건 시키고 적당히 조금 급한게 있어요 정직하신 분이시네요 감사합니다
Girl with the h hat is so fine
독서를 좋아하며 성적인 관계보다 정신적인 관계를 중요시하고 매너있고 교양있고 친절한 남자를 만나기 위해 클럽에 가는것은 한국뿐만 아니라 전세계 모든 국가에서도 잘못된 결정입니다. 😂
Ok, while it may be true that many Koreans "fetishize" Westerners, the same is equally true for Westerners as well; especially now, with BTS, Blackpink, and K-culture popularity expanding across the globe in unprecedented numbers. I'm so sick of foreigners fetishizing my motherland, especially Westerners. I'm Korean-born/raised but studied in the USA for college, so feeling and seeing this new trend of Westerners fetishizing Korea is disgusting to me. I've experienced so much racism, xenophobia, and discrimination from all types of Americans EXCLUDING Koreans/Korean-Americans/Asian-Americans. I've witnessed firsthand the racism, xenophobia, and discrimination MY FELLOW KOREAN-AMERICAN FRIENDS' PARENTS faced in the midst of American/Western culture (before Korean culture EVEN became known in the world). The majority of white-washed Americans (except Asian-Americans) didn't even know where KOREA was on the world map; they always categorized Koreans as Chinese people (note: nothing wrong with Chinese ppl, just stating what I've personally experienced first-hand). Fetishizing a country creates a divide and loss of traditional culture in a traditionally homogenous society. *This is my official plea to all those who are not Korean: Please stop fetishizing and romanticizing Korea.* Korea is native to Koreans. You should marry for love; not because you want a "Korean wife or Korean husband". If love is the reason that two people from two different cultures decide to be in a relationship, great, but STOP SEEKING KOREANS with the intention of meeting your fetish/fantasy. Doing so will further push native Koreans away from foreigners. This is why some Koreans are against foreigners right now. Not only are they inundating the country in large numbers for the first time in the last 10 years, but their presence is in a way "tarnishing" KOREAN TRADITION AND CULTURE because too many come to the country WITHOUT understanding the language, culture, or tradition. Not understanding our language, culture, or tradition isn't a bad thing if you are just coming to Korea for vacation/tourism. But, too many foreigners come to Korea WITH THE INTENTION of fulfilling their fetish/fantasy. Therefore, it leads to many ignorant foreigners coming to Korea without properly learning the language, culture, or tradition. Too many come to Korea thinking it is some sort of "escape"... *If you are not of Korean descent but were born/raised in Korea, in Korea for work, or in Korea to actually study the culture, then this message does not apply to you.* But, for everyone else, please, from a Korean, please stop fetishizing and romanticizing Korea. You will be the death of my culture if you continue on this path.
Only indians, south east asians and some poor countries have fetish on koreans course those countries men are ugly..
But white are already the most attractive race so why would they have that fetish..
In America i have never seen a boy/girl saying I want an Asian or Korean bf/gf..white men even love black girls more..
@@xzthls4613 do come to US and see by yourself.. Ask a good looking white girls which race she would date.. I agree some girls prefer feminine so they have Korean fetish but that's like maybe 5% of population..
But most girls here prefer white or blacks (coz they are strong and more cool than whites)
@@hyena5313 Aren’t white people literally doing the most tho? Especially with their Asian fishing here you’re only talking about the people who live in US but i’m talking about white people in general if you go to Korea you will in fact see lots of white people which is nothing wrong with but a lot of them go with the intention coming back with Korean bf/gf example look at Oli london or these youtubers with their Korean boyfriend doesn’t that make sense to you their caption is always “pranking my Korean boyfriend/husband” “calling my Korean boyfriend oppa” but never the other way around as in “Pranking my german girlfriend”
And I find it so funny how all these foreign girls who have traveled to Korea to satisfy their fetish for Korean men, going to clubs and using shady dating apps, complain about the fetish from Koreans? It seems to me that the foreigners have a stronger fetish.
😂😂😂😂😂
Search halal food
Try to learn Korean if you're in Korea! You won’t have a language barrier.
the problem about the Lebanese girl who's trying to do a British accent that Lebanon is fullllllll of plastic surgery , so she must be used to plastic surgery from there even if she didn't do it yet!
She's Bulgarian slavic girl, get over it. If she were Lebanese, she would be way darker and with a bigger nose. She has had no plastic surgery and is a natural Eastern european beauty.
She's half Lebanese, said so herself in another vid.
Lots of Arabs in Korea, interesting to understand why
I would say love for kdrama and kpop and how popular it got in Arab countries ?! But I would also wanna know really why ?
As an Arab myself I'll give u my perception i saw many Arab girls idolizing Korean culture based on what media shows them in arab communities they r is not a lot of talk about love it's like it doesn't exist and most mariages are arranged ones so I think they r craving that fairytale love that is portrayed in kdrama
my relative's friend is an arab and she went to Korea to study at their university, but idk if this is the reason why many Arabs go there

This might be just me, but shouldn't you aleast try to speak the language in order to make friends? Especially if you attend uni there.
Language barrier is the worst thing about South Korea. I mean, it's such an inconvenience that the Koreans speak Korean. Why can't they all learn English to accommodate me?
They do learn English. They just feel ashamed to practice and make mistakes. Travel the world and you’ll find countries with people speaking English as their 2nd or 3rd language without shame of not being perfect.
Bulgarian chick is cute
The girl Nooh... she is bulgarian as much as I'm from mars....I'm bulgarian and we don't speak and behave like this, she may be born here but not raised in our country
Why do you expect English in a non-English speaking country? Isn't it basic to study the language of another country to make foreign
friends?
I think if foreigners have such bad dating experiences then they should stick on dating themselves. I’m sure their many now
애초에 비영어권 국가에와서 언어장벽을 말한다는게 우월주의를 좀 느낀다고생각했습니다. 좀 이기적인 의견이라 생각합니다.
당신나라에 가서 왜 한국어를 하는 사람이 별로없냐고 물어보면 어떠시겠어요?
I can confirm American girls are easy.
That perception is what you get from the so called "sexual liberation"... Broken relationships at home and a bad reputation around the world. It's infuriating.

The English accent of the Japanese is very bad. But they are very sweet and intelligent. And most importantly, they are not racist and rude.
Actually i planned to visit korea in this September but one of my korean friend told me September is not a good time to visit korea he recommended me to visit korea in November..the korean friend i mentioned here i meeted in Instagram actually we often chat a little bit and he told me he will be my guide in korea when i arrive there is it okay to trust him or not what you think...?
In my opinion, September is a very good time to visit Korea. Because autumn starts in September and it's good weather to walk around.
I can't say he's good or bad since I don't know him at all. But I would say just be a little cautious until you fully get to know him in person.
Thank you for your reply
@@Manjukrishna4135 Im not sure you should trust strangers from the internet. Always use caution and make sure to ask a load of questions. Be smart.
@archangel you are right .i will make sure to be safe .at first when he told me that he will be my guide i was happy because i don't know Korean language and i thought it is better that if someone who knows Korean language besides me
@@Manjukrishna4135 But at the same time, if you were to be kidnapped, you would have no means of communicating that you were kidnapped. It would be near impossible to communicate to the police as well.
Jin sir are you on Instagram? Cause I follow you on Instagram you are amazing👍 and so nice😊
