To sum it up:
Girls: LATIN MEN!
Guys: Blonde love machines
Lighter features are considered in most cultures as more feminine and darker features as more masculine. ´´tall dark and handsome´´ is what girls often say when they describe their ideal men.
@@elmore707 Nah, it's more of the personality type. Latin men behaves more masculine and aggressive compared to north Europeans. The same can be said with Black/African men as well. You don't often hear women wanting to date/marry dark SEA men, except maybe those who are brainwashed like yourself.
"tall dark and handsome" said someone in the 50's and it has never changed since. Thanks TMZ !
I am Mexican and Italian, and people tell me I am loud.
"Hey man, you think that was loud? *T H I S I S L O U D ! ! !* "
rk h natives have darker skin than any Eastern European and are actually the color brown and not tan. So don’t get it twisted either. Greetings from El Salvador
The girl with the braids is everything, she's so pretty and well spoken!👍🔥🔥❤❤💯
She is beautiful i wish i was like her
Exactly sis said complexion doesnt matter
she was so open-minded and beautiful, I want to be her friend!
I love her, she seems so sweet. I love her views on this
She also has a very cute laugh after she said something about Latin men being born with HOT bodies (2:18)!!
Let's be honest most of koreans just wants an "experience" with foreigners not a serious relationship
Jinho-ssi ikr. People are complaining about Koreans only wanting a white person when dating a foreigner (which I understand, I don’t like the Korean stereotype of all foreigners being European with light hair and light skin, which even the majority of European people don’t look like that) but it’s not that great, they see you as a trophy rather than a human being. Most foreigners but White women especially are very sexualized in Korea. Also especially in clubs if you are a foreigner men will just grab you without asking and treat you very differently than they would a Korean woman.
Smh
Doesn't everyone want the same?
@@anntauz7890 I meant foreigners also want a quick experience like Koreans.
But that also happens with foreigners wanting to have "experiences" with other culture's person!!! This is in general, it happens both ways, but then of course there would be particular cases and situations in which certain people want to have a serious relationships...
In any case manh times people just start going out because they feel attracted or get on well with each other, whatever your mindset is like initially it can always change afterwards
The girl with the braids has it down. Most of the people here had stereotypical expectations of what dating a foreigner is like. But she really seemed interested in expanding her experience in life and learning about other people and how they live. To the people that have expectations.. I'll just tell you now. Don't. Having expectations of people from the go (in dating especially) is going to leave you underwhelmed and disappointed. It's best just to go into it with the most open mind you can and expect as little as possible. You never know how people are going to leave their impression. Whether its bad bad bad or great.
right i really respected the way she says shes hasnt experienced it so there is no cons. I really love her mindset on it and it really shows how good of a person she i
Foreigners Watching K-Pop K-drama It's so funny that all Koreans think he's handsome.
Aw the girl at the end, how can a human be so cute and cool at the same time haha
Very inspiring maturity
someone you might know and so fashiom at the same time
Her instagram is 95.1star
someone you might know soooo cute and I love how she questioned if she’s allowed to make such bold statements like yes please express yourself you’re amazing!!!
She's the way she is because her parents taught her and allowed her to be herself, and to love without barriers ! that's actually really beautiful to see those kind of person on earth
my heart rate increased by 10 percent when i saw her face :(
Gosh the girl w the braids made my heart race I'm in love
Same
Saaammmeeee it's all fluttery up in here 🦋
I find you on every TH-cam video😂
I see your avatar&name a lot, and want to say that they're perfect! :D
Same, me too. She’s so cute and adorable, so heartfelt and genuine ahhh
"what are the downsides?"
"You cant use google translate when fighting!"
That was so funny
Just imgaine it HAHAH is for a Kdrama comedy
“They’re tall”
*_laughs in 5’2_*
*laughs at you in 6'3*
*agrees in 5'2*
Also agrees in 5'2
Laughs in 4’11
*Cries in 5'9*
“ I want someone *blonde* and *tall* with *blue eyes* and *white* skin”
No need to travel, just go straight to Scandinavia.
kawaii lexi mole Majority is not overweight tho. At least in Finland (which is technically fennoscandia not Scandinavia) most girls are petite
Or Europe in general. I live in the Netherlands and I'm blonde, tall, white and have blue eyes.
We also have the same name btw
kawaii lexi mole You’re a hater and I am black British but I was born in Sweden. Most swedes look like models and there’s hardly anyone that’s overweight stop telling lies !!! In October I went back there and took some of my friends the minute we landed in the airport they were shocked at how beautiful they are.
Aa
kawaii lexi mole It seems like you have a problem understanding simple English, just because I stated that the minute we landed in Sweden my friends were in awe of the people they saw doesn’t mean I am just referring to people in the airport. Secondly my father grew up in Norway so you don’t have tell me that Norway and Sweden are two different countries. You said that majority of Scandinavian females are overweight, well that’s false. You can google it, just because the Norwegian girls you are around are overweight doesn’t mean other Scandinavian females are aswell. Why generalize eh ? That’s what haters do, so stop spreading false information
the girl in all black thoo 💛💛 i love her statement towards the end
cheezeu sauseu Her instagram is 95.1star
people in the comments shouldn't get worked up over them saying they're open to dating different nationalities but mention white people as their ideal. It's just their preferences. I'm black, i'm open to all races/nationalities however my 'preference' is a tall black guy. Doesn't mean I wouldn't still be attracted to/ go for someone who's not black.
edit 10/01/2021: it would only be a problem if they said they were ‘open’ but proceeded to put down one race just to build up another or explain why they wouldn’t date a certain race or ethnicity. but they didn’t so it’s all good
Exactly. You can't blame people for wanting to date a certain type or for being attracted to it.
T H A N K Y O U.....I can’t blame them for feeling hurt and discouraged, but different people have different preferences and not all Koreans are the same.
This. Think about their exposure too. I'm sure when you mention foreigners they start thinking of what movies or tv shows they have seen. The entertainment industry is heavily influenced by America's Hollywood...
AcridSoul exactly. when you think of hollywood, unfortunately the only race that comes to mind is white so it’s understandable why their first image of a foreigner is a white person. even though korea is becoming more diverse, it’s mainly only seoul that is diverse and seoul isn’t the only place in korea.
@@AcridSoul thank you. That's what was on my mind the whole time they said that. I'm not bothered either. You have to look at it with confidence in your own self. Esp when you have attracted all kinds so let them "say" these things. What they may actually end up going for and open to once they meet people will be different.
“And you can’t use google translater while fighting”
HAHAHAHAHA
I knew they were going to say white people with blonde hair and blue eyes.
my west african heart is broken
XANA gurl Same... 😂
Same
Glucose Jams me too. It's just the Korean society desires.
Not all of them. One guy wanted to date African/European women and one girl wanted to date Hispanic men.
the girl in black is so gorgeous
Bias Wrecked and so the boy in black
yassss she made my little bi heart race😍😍😍💜💜💜
This made me very self conscious about my nose bridge 😂
i felt attacked
@@wolpertingerelf971 same XD
My grandparents on my dads side are Korean, and they told me that when my dad ran off to America to get married to my mom, they were furious. But then when my dad called them and told them that they were having me, my grandparents were so happy and they supported my dads decision.
"You can´t just use google translater while fighting" he has never seen how fast I can type when I am mad lol
Exactly💀
Kill bruh :')
Suga's InFIREration Okay this was hilarious

The girl who's said "I really love Chris Hemsworth" had everyone like HONEY WE ALL DO
meh
I don't even know who that is xD
Nope
Dabi Todoroki same lol
Exactly 🤭
I don’t think any of them should date a foreigner; even if they have or wanted to.
There are not strong enough to handle the relationship. They are too worried about what others think and their ideas, more than actually working in the relationship to make it work. This video to me felt like it’s a dream for them and not something obtainable in reality. But I know A LOT of Americans who think the same way. So I don’t blame it on them being Korean; it’s human nature. To me, any relationship your decide to had is work. And you do the work because you want to be with that person; no matter the obstacles.
LUVisGr8test1C1313 YEEESSS
I 100% agree with you
1000% agreed. except Eun Mi.
True but from what i seen, the relationships are slowly paying off for them.
I agree with you 100%
the chic girl w braided hair and all black clothes speaks so well! and then she talked about her mom and I realized that's why she speaks so well.
but who thought that it was a good idea to use yellow subs on a light brown table
😂
AyanamiRei5kyu shes pretty hot...i like her style 💗💗💗 and shes the only one that didnt say she would want to date a white blue eyed person...not knocking white blue eyed people (some are pretty hot 🔥🔥🔥) but i liked that she was different 💗💗💗
Buggin Out with Ms Vanity umm im pretty sure she/he was talking about the english subtitles. I don't think they're talking about the girl with the braids.
Jhope is a literal sunshine this reply was actually meant for someone elses comment about the girl with the braids...i just didnt feel like removing it bc i didnt think anyone would really care bc it was not offending anyone...but thank u for the clarification
Buggin Out with Ms Vanity ohhh my bad. I thought u were talking to the main comment since their name was there.
The girl in the black outift was beautiful inside and out. She was so open minded and her mother raised her right. I hope a latin man from LA finds her.
sandra suga but LA is not included in America Latina
Kim JongBae yes I know that, she said she likes latin men...and she wanted to marry a man in LA so i just blended the two, ALSO i am from LA and theres a lot of latin people here 😂
sandra lol they love California too
I love how they say language barrier. We can learn Korean......
My exact thought. Every time when some one is asked if they'd date a foreigner they mention the language barrier. As if it's a given that neither of the sides speaks other's language. Is it really that hard to learn tho? If I met someone who speaks a different language that I do, I'd try my best to learn that language, and tbh I'd expect my partner to do the same. Or at least learn one common one so we can converse freely. (I'm not a native English speaker, so I already had to learn a second language to be able to communicate with more people, and I don't think that it is that hard, it just requires some work and devotion).
@@Aquariuspeg you really think its that easy....? it can take more than four years to be fluent in a language. its difficult, you cant expect a successful relationship if all you can talk about is the weather, or ur favorite food. and besides all that, a language barrier can stop you from expressing yourself to the fullest, like how you would with ur native language. lol not to mention all the other differences. if ur devoted, yeah it might work. but it isnt so easy
Eun Mi is so beautiful and I love her personality and thoughts!! What an open-minded woman! 💕
They’re talking about language barriers but I’m like “how tf are you gonna make it as far as establishing a relationship AND THEN be concerned about miscommunication??” Idk many people who are willing to date someone they can’t hold a conversation with 😂
You'd be surprised how many people are up for that over here 😂😂😂
They are going to be communicating through google translate lol
then they'll date people who speak korean?? duh??
min bella on a scale of 1 to 10 how serious are you
lmao i mean like a foreigner who learnt korean by themselves
For everyone that is upset that their ideal types aren't what you look like...
When someone has an ideal type, they almost never date someone that fits their description... You can choose what your ideal type is, but you don't choose who you actually fall for... They have their dream man/ woman in their head, but who they will fall in love with is most likely going to be someone completely different. Love doesn't surface, it's much deeper than that...
WORDS!!!!!! speaking straight facts
Wow this actually made sense.
Wow this comment needs to be at the top.
Exactly I’ve seen Koreans date a whole range of other races it pretty much just depends on the person not race
Yup. When I was younger I wanted to date an aussie. (Love the accent!) But I ended up marrying an asian guy in America. LOL. And I'm asian, too.
Do they only mean white foreigners?
Kiara Roberts not all white ppl have blond hair and light skin but okay lol
@애정 애정 so the rest of foreigners what we are?
03 Cyber Tuna we all know that being blonde is a white trait. Unless your aboriginal and we definitely know they are not taking about those people
Kiara Roberts yeah
@@delvyntrinidad7131 unless you dyed your hair blonde ._.
That girl with the black braids she was a trainee with Taehyung from BTS
"You can't just google translate while fighting" hahaha I feel you on that! The girl at the end blew my mind. I wish most parents can be accepting of all.
Koreans : blonde hair and blue eyes
Me: brown hair and brown eyes
WOOPS
yes, all koreans were interviewed
same i feel youuu😂💜 i wanna date a korean tbh
Cosmina Radu A
As Im latin my skin colour is bit darker 😅😅. For them skin colour is important, I lose my shot 😂😂
Me : AFRICAN AMERICAN WOOPS
When they talk about cultural differences it kinda annoys me. So what you're from another culture. If you really love each other just try to do some of their tradition and them your traditions. It's not like they will be like a little baby and be like : you have to follow my culture and its traditions.
It also isn't good that you would want someone that looks like your type. Personality is so important. If i see someone that is my type, but has a personality i can't handle, automatically they would start to look different to me. And it's kinda weird how they didn't mention personality.
5:04 "You can't see their other eye." Lol, does he think we're doing something shady with our other eye? Is he imagining a chameleon?? Laughed so hard when he said that.
"Whomever you love, I will always welcome them!"
We need more parents like her mother, not just in Korea, but all around the world really.
White :.: Cherry honestly
Her mom is just like my dad, he says the exact same thing
SIS IN THE BLACK SLAYED. THOSE. EDGES.
@Issa fraud damn I just noticed that. Her shit is LAYED.
I don’t think those are classified as edges
Black Dahlia why not lol
she just gelled them down... geez stop exaggerating
lina because that looked like it was slapped with gel and just laid them down straightly which aren’t classified edges unless she’s never done them before because those don’t even look like she has done it before.
"What's your ideal type of foreigner?"
Them: White, Latin, Russian, Filipino
Me: *Stares in black*
I mean, most of the black latinos were taken as slaves as were the african americans, i just meant the lighter skinned population
Srry for coming off as "soooo dumb"
Me: Stares in brown 😔
I think you should ask "Are foreigners ready to date any native korean?" that way you will get your answer correctly.
*HE JUST SAID CAUSE THEIR NOSES ARE TALL YOU CAN ONLY TALK TO ONE EYE IM DYING*
cyhergy Me too 😂
how did he come up with that?😂
omg me too xD
BRUH, I WAS IN TEARS! He didn’t have to do em like that but I’m glad bc it was hilarious 😂😂
Hahaha that was so funny 😂
I swear Koreans have such a different mind and thinking than any other people I’ve met. Like the guy that was explaining about the nose bridge etc like bruh how did you even come up with that tho
ahahah I thought the same, like boy whatcha talkin about. The nose bridge is so big you can't see the other eye? Even if he's talking about the side profile. It is hard to see both eyes from a side profile anyways, regardless of the nose shape XD
I feel like most koreans in general are overthinkers not in a bad way though. Like most people from other country are more laidback and don’t really care but most koreans really think and observe more. I guess that show in how they make their music, their films, music videos are very high on visual and aesthetics, also their fashion is another example.
Very interesting points. :)
@John I didn't mean that they originally created fashion but how they put together different styles, how they dress themselves, if you search Korean fashion there's already a styling pattern you will see, which is very specific to only Korean people, you can't really see those styling or trends in other countries. They have created their own styles and trends over the recent years. The street style in Korea is very individualistic and experimental.
Take kpop for example, if you see bright coloured hair with colorful mismatched and flashy concepts in styling you'll be able to tell that its kpop style.
If you don’t have a flat nose bridge, you won’t understand. I don’t have a problem with mine but I’m probably only even aware of it being a thing because my aunt brought it up when I was young (telling me she was glad my nose wasn’t as flat as hers). Then you look at some white people and you’re like...yeah, they do have a high nose bridge 😂
There are koreaboo's but what about Americanboo's? Or smt LOL

YAAAAAS!
YAAAAAS!
Right!!!!!! I literally applauded him like please I’m so tired of this
awwww at least one of them likes you guys, good job!
ATB FIFA you should not even start, like I’m not even joking do t start with me
Foreigners is not equivalent to Westerners people! 😂
But thats the mindset of mostly koreans😂
Part of me wonders if they choose their ideals based off of the media/entertainment they watch. And I think western/european entertainment is whats popular which sadly means they are mostly exposed to white people since we aren't always super great at diversity. Idk if that true just something I was wondering about since they seem to be describing people you'd see in Hollywood. I could be completely wrong.
@@გმადლობთ Had to use a translator because i could only understand like 20% but I really liked your last sentence "결국 통하는 마음과 매력입니다." I feel like that is what everyone should prioritize, a persons heart and the kind of person that they are over their visuals. Of course being attracted to someone is completely ok, and wanting to be attracted to the person you are dating is ok too, but it should not be more important than who they actually are as a person.
A Lot of Korean people told me that they really take care of how a person looks and I thought that it wasn’t true but now I checked it
Everyone cares about how a person looks when they first meet them. How to you build initial attractiveness without looking at appearance?
The girl wearing black is beautiful inside and out ❤️
jacksonwang852g7 wangie isnt there more beyond the skeleton?? Lol
Doesn't matter that I'm white since I'm still ugly 🤷🏼

As a male individual this warms my heart. Thank you kookie, very cool!
"I like when my gf speaks French" bonjour je suis française, j'ai besoin d'un visa on peut s'arranger 😉 (just kidding don't hit me)

Jpp😭🤣🤣
Instead of their ideas on 'dating' a foreigner, I'd like to see an interview on if they would ever consider marrying a foreigner. There's a popular saying that almost all foreign girls in Korea know, which is "riding the white horse" (yes, referring to white foreigners) meaning Korean men will date foreigners but most would never consider actually marrying them bc they care too much about what society and their parents think, no matter how racist or wrong they are.
Sarah Kupka one of them literally said he’d be open to marrying a foreigner and others said skin type doesn’t matter only language/cultural barriers make it difficult. OBVIOUSLY there are some people only after sex but that’s the same in every country lol. Don’t generalise that all Koreans just want to ‘ride the white horse’ when some people in this video and many Koreans IRL are a lot more open minded than that. You seem like you’re running with quite a closed mind/stereotype. Everyone has different intentions and thoughts.
@@lipglass Not really, obviously a lot of people wouldn´t mind marrying a foreigner especially the younger Generation, but their parents are very close-minded and wouldn´t be accepting of their kid marrying a foreigner. Things are luckily changing as times go on.
okay but the last girl is actually such a sweet person and i hope she actually dates someones who geniully loves her!
_blonde.. blonde.. blue eyes.. blue eyes.._ *CHRIS HEMSWORTH* *exits video
Vero literally
2:26 woah that guy- my first time hearing a korean guy saying he likes filipinas. he cute tho lemme ask his instagram for research purposes.
He just likes Filipinas because many Filipinas have big eyes? and don't look east asians? ewan ko lang ah. 😂
Well maybe he doesn't know that most people outside east Asia are born with double lids
the girl dressed all in black is the best, she's beautiful both physically but also her mind ! i love her so much !!!
Eun Mi was raised with a good mom. Her statement at the end was beautiful. Love is Love. I feel like when ever Koreans think of Westerner's they think of mostly Caucasian's with the Blonde hair, Blue Eyes and a Tall Nose making that seem attractive when in reality that's not how it is most of the time. This may be their "ideal" type of foreigner in their head and what they would like to be in a person but once they meet their loved one it'll be different at times. The heart wants what it wants, there's no changing that.
who is she? does she have instagram?
im wondering about that too
Eun Mi's parents are legit the best kind of parents to have and sounds to me like they raised her well.
When they all started discussing language barriers haha farq...I'm Australian and we create language barriers for other English speaking countries let alone non-English speaking countries lol
I also worked with a Korean, still do to an extent but not directly. I used to try and race him to finish work because we were almost always the last two people to leave work. I actually finished work before him, was leaving the building and then got stuck talking for 15 mins when he walked down the stairs laughing because he was technically leaving work before me. He never knows how to react to someone when they are angry so he just laughs, it used to infuriate my boss I'm "nah, he's laughing because he doesn't know how to respond to you". I personally could never stay angry when I was around him, his uncomfortable laugh used to make me laugh in the end. One of the maddest people to work with.
Uh, I don't mean to be that person but every time I watch these types of "Would Koreans date a foreigner" videos I get so disappointed. No one ever mentions finding black people attractive, and I understand people have their own person preferences but based on the videos I've seen Koreans have this image of white people that they are beautiful, tall, amazing eyes, etc. In reality that's really just in the movies. Not saying white people aren't beautiful btw.
Also based on me watching various shows such Hello Counselor, Koreans are very enclosed in a bubble. If something isn't common to see/hear etc they reject it. Example: That example in HC of the little Korean girl who is albino and everywhere she went people would stare and point fingers.
Just saying though, this is just my opinion.
Daebak Simmer yeah I don’t really expects much from this video. Korean people seem to associate this formula: American=White. Personally, it’s funny to me because what made because that is just the opposite. I hope one day people have a change of mind and study on REAL American culture not focus on white people. Besides sistas ain’t out here falling over there feet for a man/woman so I’ll think we’ll be ok. 😂
i know and it honestly hurts because im a korean myself. when i see koreans portrayed to the public like this and read the angry comments, i honestly wonder why the people in the video think that way. i also wonder why there's so much hate in the comment sections. i mean, koreans have stereotypes on other races, but it seems like these other races have stereotypes on koreans as well. this doesnt excuse what the people said in the video, though, and im genuinely sorry if anything these people said offended you.
@@user-ul5fo3pt9v it's fine, i totally say that my type is Korean (i love love love the culture and i wanna eat food) and then go ahead and date white, black and blue people (joke but you get me) Beauty comes in many different colours and as long as i think i'm pretty then i'm fine lol
@@armyjo5891 that part sista
I know. And I never expect anything from these videos. They always say the same thing. I’m not really hurt by it because I know it’s what they are used to and what they’ve probably seen. A lot of these people are kind of closed off to the rest of the world and a bit ignorant. But if it’s their preference then hey it’s what they are into but of course I think a lot of this blonde and blue eyes stuff comes from what they are exposed to as well as what they see as what beautiful is.
OK, as a Korean, trust me, not all of us would like to date a foreigner who's caucasian or latin, 'cause I think that people from all over are very charming, and I know for a fact that I'm not the only one who thinks this. I think that they immediately jump to those two categories because the other groups lack presentation in Korea, like even in America you don't see many people from the Middle East starring in major films (I THINK THEY SHOULD CHANGE THIS). So it's a matter of underrepresentation, since many American films make it to Korea. Shows and others included. It's also that the caucasian look is the ideal beauty standard for many Koreans. That's why there's plastic surgery to westernize the Korean features. And with new K-pop songs infused with Latin vibes, they are also being more represented. And Despacito, 2017's hit summer song? that just ya know, boosts them in publicity. Please don't have the misconception that all Koreans prefer only caucasian or latin people, there's Koreans who diversify their horizons, don't worry!!
oh my god, no one liked and replied your comment, instead they prefer crying how butthurt they are!
Rachel Kwon I know what you're saying. I'm Black and I had a Korean boyfriend, well he was Korean and Chinese, the first Asian bf was Thai and Irish. And this was all before KPOP was popping. I date who I'm attracted to and if they return the attraction.
Honestly, I don't think there will be any stigma, as I'm not too sure if Koreans can totally identify what a mixed person looks like. Unlike America, Korea is like, full of Koreans, and mostly Koreans, so we all just generally know what Korean people look like. But in the terms of beauty standards, there's a different standard of beauty for just Koreans, and for races that aren't Korean. Like, Koreans favor pale skin, small faces, and etc, but that's for Koreans, they wouldn't expect someone who was born with naturally dark skin, black, latino or otherwise, to just like, have pale skin. Like for me, I think that every human has beauty, and the younger generation in Korea is also starting to come to terms with that. I don't think you have to be worried at all :)
From my experience, Koreans find other races very interesting, and you probably will be confronted in Korea, asking if you if you need help or something navigation wise, but Koreans do that 'cause they like to be generous, or they want to practice their English. You probably will also receive stares, but it's not anything bad, it's just because you're different. (different is not bad at all i'm not trying to say anything offensive so if i do im soooo sorry)
Underrated comment. Bravo!
Someone said it!!
Eun Mi is woke af and I dig it
If I’m not mistaken she said Latin fam . . . One of us is confused here and I don’t think it’s me 😂
I don’t like to just assume people have bad intentions/secondary intentions. That could just be a flaw of mine but it’s just something I don’t do.
Now I’m an Latin male and I might not fit her mold but I’m not offended by what she said, lol. It’s her preference. I think she could have worded it better but I see no harm personally. But what offends me isn’t necessarily what should offend others and vice versa
So what if she said she likes that specific looks?!! I’m pretty sure most of us have a bias if you’re into kpop. Its like you prefer those looks more and find them attractive. But it doesn’t really mean anything in the real world. I’m pretty sure half of these people if they get along with a person of color, be it black, yellow, red, green whatever they would forget about those looks and just appreciate the person. For example i find asian guys who have monolids very attractive. Notice how i didnt say i only like asian guys with monolids or i hate guys without monolids. And to tell you the truth I’m actually dating a asian guy but he’s indian and he has really big eyes opposite of what i find attractive but it doesn’t matter to me.
She got double eyelid surgery. Look at those cut eyes
FKUCLA that’s not completely on her?? yes many korean people said white people, but what do you expect??? they’re in korea?? where most of their people are korean?? they have little to no contact with foreigners on a day to day basis and have to see it just through media. when you see latin men on tv/online they’re usually olive, oiled, big, and tall. when you see “americans” they’re usually blue eyed and blonde. we should be blaming hollywood, societal norms and outdated beliefs!!
I personally think brunettes are the prettiest. Dont attack me.
me: I like you
him: you don't have a blonde hair and blue eyes, so I'm gonna pass but thanks anyways 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The thing about the big nose bridge made me laugh xD I have a big nose but I never thought it would be considered as a difficulty when talking to me ahahah
Maria Bastos Haha same here hun 😂
Maria Bastos ahaha same! Guess it's time to get a nose job 😂
Omg when the guy said use google translate while fighting I’m dead af 😂😂😂😂
jium Pal lmao
"westerners are very good looking"
*CRIES IN RAT*
Short answer.
Korean girls: YES PLEASE.
Korean guys: Just dating?, yes. Marriage, Nah.
i didn't know nose bridge is also an issue, lol
Right?? hahah
Acidic petals I was shocked to hear that😂
Acidic petals I shouldn't be an issue...The guy sounds a little shallow.
I laughed, out loud, by myself! So funny! It's interesting hearing another race honestly view things like that!
When he said it’s because he couldn’t see their other eye I was like what the hell is he talking about 😂
Eun Mi looks so cool. So pretty and she's so nice too. She's got a good mum
We need more people like Eun Mi lmao I mean I started loving her the moment she said "Everyone, don't matter the skin color" and "I like that dark skin they have" like damn gurl, after that everything she said totally made my heart race, we love a queen who loves EVERYBODY don't matter the skin color of appearance 💖💖 if I would be a guy I totally would date her lol
I really enjoyed the actress. She seems level headed and open minded. It seems like something she learned from her parents. Lots of respect to her and for her mother's warm words to show how much she loves her daughter.
*They say nationality or skin doesn’t matter but they all described a white person when asked what they look for in a person*
they said latino as well
If asked to describe a stereotypical foreigner, it would be a white person. So what do you expect? Koreans just described the stereotypical foreigner in their eyes
You can be open to all races but still have a preference I know I do
baby steps...when it comes to dating outside of their culture, aside from pale skin, they only mentioned features that were the opposite of theirs.
Not true
I live in Korea since 1 year and I‘m telling you, dating a korean guy is harder than learning korean.
why?
It's really difficult if you don't speak Korean. Most Koreans don't speak English or just very little. Or they are just to shy to use it, since they'd rather not speak than make any mistakes trying.
Second, if you are not interested in anything physical they tend to not be interested since, and I'm really sorry to say this, but most of them just wanna get physical for a night or so with foreigners. Many are just looking for FWB or Hookups.
The best way is to get to know someone through your Korean friends, if you have any. Because even making "just" friends, is hard in Korea. They all already have their friends, and it's not really easy to become a part of that group..But if you do have friends, they can help you with one of their friends. Those are more reliable and it's the easiest way to get a date in Korea.
it makes sense, thanks for your input^^ fighting
Courtney yeah I do think it would be easier. Not easy, but easier! Koreans are already in their group of friends and it seems like they don’t want to step out of those or expand it. Also I feel like if you find friends, it won’t be easy to get really close, you know what I mean? I‘m sorry to say that but the friendships I‘ve made here are kind of superficial...
The easiest way to find some korean friends would be to go to language exchange groups and start from there.
I'm dyinggg at this. its true tho, not just Korean guys in Korea either. I think that in any place where you're not the same nationality, its hard to get past the " just a good time" part and find someone who is actually willing to seriously date.

I am SO glad and AMAZED that everyone was supportive of dating outside of what they might be used to or comfortable with! HOWEVER, it is this way because of numerous biases, one being that many of these people are in the arts/fine arts (designers, actors, etc.). They are already open-minded and put themselves out there to explore, just being on this channel and video as well. I think a MORE DIVERSE panel with various interests and careers would have been MORE BENEFICIAL to post and interview, but it is fine. It is warming to know that they are looking more at what their hearts want/where their hearts will/could guide them, rather than only obey strict, traditional rules from their parents and society.
Asian culture is usually not this open, but hey, times have definitely changed (for the better, in my humble opinion!). For a more stark (and perhaps more realistic?) contrast with what this video presents, I would highly suggest watching this video as well: "Would A Korean Guy Marry You? | ASIAN BOSS".
Here, the guys talk more conservatively, traditionally, and (seemingly) more strict and specific. People may jump to the conclusion that they are being superficial and judgmental, I wrote this to them:
IF YOU FEEL OFFENDED BY THEIR COMMENTS AND ATTITUDES, PLEASE READ FOR CLARIFICATION
I think, unfortunately, people are getting confused and assuming wrong here.
This is an EXTREMELY SMALL sample, their actual ages are unknown to us, and all are in around the same location I am guessing (unless they actually traveled around to different areas around South Korea.
But MOST IMPORTANTLY, it appears to me that many commentators do not realize/ignore the FACT that their CULTURE is very different. For instance, I read in the comments that people said the men are all shallow, trash, superficial, and the like, due to the statements given about not ever considering or being open to the idea of dating different nationalities. Honestly, Asians do NOT have nearly the same attitudes towards numerous topics (such as how Asians (only generally, traditionally speaking) value interdependence/cohesiveness, in comparison to more popular beliefs, say in America, regarding independence).
This is a HUGE difference in how different cultures perceive certain comments as rude, insensitive, and close-minded.
Please don't misinterpreting the INTENTION: they say these things BECAUSE of their culture, what they have always been taught, been surrounded by, been exposed to. Many Asians do not think about marrying outside of their culture group (language is a large issue in itself).
Please do not misunderstand me, either: I am NOT supporting these narrow views, it is just that I understand where they are coming from and why. Specifically, I was thinking about the guy with the low voice that numerous people have also noted. What he said at one (or more) points definitely sounded racist and uncalled for from an outsider's perspective, I understand that. HOWEVER, I believe he is just WORRIED about how being a MIXED child would be for HIS OWN KID. He expresses concern that he would not want his child to be ostracized, called names, or bullied (which is NOT UNCOMMON in Asian countries who value APPEARING ALL THE SAME, that is why a lot of Korean stars, celebrities, and models all look VERY similar. Since their culture calls for cohesiveness and "fitting in," they are very concerned with "sticking out (of the crowd)", looking "different" than everyone else. They like to blend in. This is just an overview of their history (general, not a blanket statement for absolutely everyone!).
It IS in a sense "shallow" to judge people based on their looks, but honestly, there is a BIOLOGICAL BENEFIT, a legit REASON for ALL people to be choosy and picky with looks. We want to pass our DNA down and continue existing in the gene pool, it makes sense. I hate it when people JUDGE YOU just based off of a shallow understanding of what "looks" really mean. In particular, in Asia, looks ARE EXTREMELY CRUCIAL. Appearance, whether it be genuine or completely fabricated, the mere APPEARANCE that one's family, company, and love life are PERFECT is deemed as very VALUABLE. This misunderstanding is solely due to not being aware and respecting their own culture, how they are educated from when they were little (when you get offended others offend your own . . .). Just appearing beautiful (plastic surgery) and kind ("fake it to you make it") is a huge part of their lives. Whether you agree or disagree, that is up to you, but you must also RESPECT THEM as well (if you want your opinion to count for anything).
But that is why I would like to speak on their behalf: do not necessarily scrutinize and negatively judge and assume bad things about a person from their words and beliefs, as they both may change over time and with new experiences (AKA, time). Some look young (but, again, we do not know their age). Please be kind to yourself, but do not forget to be kind to others: those we know, we don't, and might get to (which could literally be anyone at any moment). Do not insult before thinking about the consequences of putting negativity out there for all to see.
Thank you for reading, I hope this clears things up and that you can appreciate cultural differences, as (in my humble opinion) I think some of these guys also need.
This was featured in Koreaboo which was eventually shared on Twitter. I got very interested because I think there are only few Koreans who date foreigners and so I got curious on what these Korean people's insights were. And yes that dude at 1:02 says it right, "love has no nationalities," a big thumbs up to that!
I like how younger Koreans are more open. I just saw a super sad video of a Korean guy and Black-Asian girl planning thier wedding. The guy's and the girls parent straight up disowned them. Both parents of both couples did not attend their wedding due to rigid beliefs. It was all vlogged on youtube: "Brought my blasian fiancée to meet my Korean parents unannounced"
oh yeah i saw that too
lots of stuff like that going on with the older generation
Why is it that most older generations are like that, in general? Is it just things like tradition and stigmas or
Wait, the girl is blasian, but her parents disowned her for marrying an asian man? What kinda...
KuroiYuki13 so, the Muslim Sudanese Dad, stepmom, and all siblings did not attend due to religious issues. He wanted the Korean guy to convert to Islam but was fine with the race. Biological Mom and that part of the family came. So, 1 out 4 parents came. No one from Korean guys family came (mom, dad, and siblings too)
eleanor it's hard to explain. Love (for what I understand) is for is more like a business arrangement. It just looks "bad" because she's an outsider
I would love to date a korean but the language barrier would be a problem. I wouldn’t mind learning though🤗
Agree
I know the girls wore makeup, but I find Korean girls really pretty in general. The girl in black is gorgeous in my opinion
Honestly, I wasn't expecting they would pick a foreigner from south east Asia, but when that dude at 2:29 said Philippines, I just jumped out in joy ! And because of that I'll subscribe and thumbs up !
AeppleZEN Sameee hahahha
Same hahaha
SAMEE HAHA cause most were talking about western characteristics and he was there who stuck with the asians 💛
AYYY SAME HAHAHA❤️❤️
AeppleZEN Claro que se van a ver diferentes si los filipinos algunos son descendientes de españoles que esperaban.
*well, now I know how to say good looking in korean*
jimins jams the sad truth is: They'll not date someone who doesn't match their "outside requires"
Debbie ducking all the way yepp
Yeah but most people are like that, it's natural
Lol yeah. It was said 1000 times in one video 😂😂😂
AMRY💜
Omg the last girl made me tear up. ❤️ she’s so right! I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years now (he’s Korean) and we have dealt with so much, like disapproval from family members, harassment from random Korean people in the street, cultural differences and a lot of distance. I’m really grateful that I met him even though it’s difficult at times. Honestly, no matter where your partner is from, if you really love each other, you should be together
Eun Mi is so sweet, her mother sounds like a wonderful woman too. It's so nice to see someone who is beautiful inside and out.
2:26 "Filipinas." Boi, I'd date you in a heartbeat.
2:37 "When my girlfriend speaks French..." Damn it.
Same here 😂😂
I speaks French, it's ok for me.
Mathilde/Fjordix _ me too so not a problem 😁
@@sarouboo
You are French ?
Mathilde/Fjordix _ Yes but im not from France I am from Quebec in Canada 🙃
btw the guys have all the same stereotype about foreign girls : white, blonde hair, light eyes, preferably russian, small nose etc... i'm glad i like girls :-)
mochiest mochi two guys said other races.
mochiest mochi im russian but im tanned and I have dark curly hair because my grandpa is from france but yeah many russians look like that but I think germans look like that too? I know a few and they look like that mostly
the girls said the same thing
Katja H. We aren't dark and curly haired in france wtf xF
Katja H. I do look like a Russian even tho I am german (Actually mixed but yah) LOL! When I arrived in seoul the cashier asked my boyfriend if I was Russian 😅
i tought the ''ideal type'' question's answer would be about character and not appearance lmao
also why are they answering every question based on appearance and not cultural differences or the things they like on their gf/bf (some of them did speak about this and i'm greatful for them
Girl with the braids is amazing - her ending comment perfectly summed up my ideas on relationships
my inner gay jumped out for the girl in all black bless her soul
same! she's so pretty and her statement at the end was so beautiful. also my name is diana too lolol.
she's beautiful inside and out i wish there were more people like her also bless her mom i wish my mom was open minded like hers. ohhh do you have twitter?
white white white white, blue eyes blue eyes blue eyes, as expected. But it's cool though, foreigners also have standars. Can you turn into Kim Woo Bin? or into Lee Dong Wook? those are my standards
someones a lil salty... but gurl LEE DONG WOOK IS SOO HOT
👏
PREACH
They ask thier ideal type. So they just say that. So what? What's problem? Why r you so mad Lolllllll
Yasss lmao yass
Girl preach 😂🔥💯💯
The girl with braid's so cute! Oh! My heart! She's also so sincere with herself. Lovely.
The girl with braids spoke true words at the end. I‘m glad I got to experience the same kind of things bc my mom isn‘t conservative at all. She doesn‘t care about who I love, as long as they don‘t use me or I use them she‘s fine with it and I‘m really thankful about being exposed to such an mindset. I see alot of my friends not being able to love who they want and I pity them. No one is born with that mindset, it‘s the way you‘re raised
Not all foreigners have blue eyes and white skin :')
And not of them are attractive lol
Not all interviewees only mentioned white people.
all of them didn't say white with blue eyes.....some said Latin men with tanner skin.
....no one said that.
They were referring to what they like, not what's true for all of us.
y'all need to stop seeking validation from these people idgaf if someone from another race don't like me...black and am proud
and beautiful^^
Chy Monèt did you even read your own comment? You’re autistic and hypocritical you fucking moron😂😂😂😂😂
Confidence is the most beautiful thing.
You rock, breezy
Chy Monèt do not even reply to these people they ain't worth ur time, i be seeing their comments too
i just called her beautiful, lol how's that complaining
you're mad that i'm not butthurt like you
Love the last girl mind, well spoken and her mom is cool ; she raised her great
Thought the answer about how a persons nose is too high so he couldn’t see both eyes was such a cute answer. Loved this interview- it made me smile.
*Looks in the comments*
A lot of comments saying they want Americans and yadda yadda.
*Watches the video*
Chris Hemsworth (Austrailian)
Justin Beiber (Canadian)
English

Latin
Latin
Caucasian/African American
Filipino
French

Chy Monèt No.. he’s not American hence why she put in brackets and I quote “Canadian”
Lol? You just listed countries that are dominant with Caucasian people or lighter skin tones?
McLovin ThatMuffin I said nothing about skin color. I was pointing out how people in the comments where saying Americans.
Chy Monèt I severely hope you realize there are more than just white people in America.
lol i think you mean united states, bc well, if they are saying canadian, latin etc they are talking about americans
I think i'm in love with the girl with the braids, welp i guess i'm lesbian now.
