- In the light of Squid Game’s global success, many have paid close attention to the appearances of two players who were migrant workers from Pakistan living in Korea. According to recent studies, there are more than 392,000 undocumented foreign workers in Korea whose struggles and realities of increasing debt, exploitation at work, and harsh living conditions are similar to what is depicted on the show. Today, we sat down with Christian Lagahit, a Filipino actor who appeared as Player #276 on Squid Game to hear more about the meaning behind the representation of his character, his personal journey of getting into the Korean entertainment industry and what his experience was like on the set of Squid Game.
Special thanks to Christian for sharing his story.

I'm not south or southeast Asian, but I really liked his character, I think he's a good representation for foreigners in Korea. I hope the actor becomes even more popular, he's amazing
Did he even have any speaking lines?
@@hollowkid97 No, he was one of the people in the Tug of War scene. It makes me curious what the hand signs he and Anupam Tripathi were doing meant during the scene where Ali was picking a person to join their team for Tug of War, because neither of them exchanged spoken words.
@@hollowkid97 megan
I don't even remember this guy on the show?
@@thanGacao that's the point of background actors/actresses
He honestly seems so kind and humble, he did a fantastic job with his roles. I wish him the best of luck! 🍀💓🇵🇭
Yasss and he's also smart also
Im so happy there is a filipino actor in k-drama

I think it has become a personal journey in whoever person who would use that phrase. As for me, I can totally relate with "practice makes perfect" because it really works. There's no such thing as perfect but if you still pushing hard for your goals, you'll come close to perfection infinitely. No excuse, total discipline.
@@huipenta_chongz5291 I agree. It does vary from person to person. It's an admirable outlook and I'm glad it works out for you well. Ultimately, our progress will lead us to our desired results

OMG, as a southeast Asian, I'm very impressed with him. His way of speaking and his kind heart deserve the world to hear. May his career be more successful and his positive vibes will continue to spread! ✨

He speaks English like how any normal English speaker does.

@@hachunemitski5329 brah she said well spoken i think she means he knows how to carry himself in terms of speaking,, doesn’t necessarily mean shes saying hes good at english but the way he speaks not what he speaks. someone can be well spoken but not be good at english

@@hachunemitski5329 I don’t know what’s up but you seem to take the comment too seriously.
This guy has been in over 100 dramas and movies combine since 2019? That’s…that’s impressive
He seems amazing. I hope he gets more opportunities. He mentioned that he didn't get Ali's part because he is not fluent in Korean and later said he didn't understand the lady who was racist to him on the bus, and another lady had to translate. I hope he gets to improve his Korean so he can get bigger roles with many lines.

Hope Chris would shine for years ahead. He's truly an amazing figure in real life.
He's probably living and progressing into his _Ikigai_ right now.
And have you ever seen an organization in Korea that kills or discriminates against foreigners? There's almost no country like Korea without racism
Wait this guys legit. Explorer, adventurer, marketing consultant, data analyst, community leader (probably Filipino community in Korea) and part time actor. Most Filipinos I know have that insane work ethic, doing so many things at once.
He's a real-life overachiever asian stereotype. 😁
He probably needs money dude. Hence, why he hustles and do a lot of stuff like that.
@@portalkey5283 LMAO
@@javier.alvarez764 It's in the Filipino culture. I've met lots of Filipinos and they are undeniably hard working, skilled-individual, and determined. THINK before you click dude, gather some information in various credible sources.
@@Art-rx6qz The Philippines suffer from poverty, so there may be some truth to what he said.
the audacity to say that 'all foreigners are bad people' when she just freaking hurt him by throwing a cabbage on his face. and the fact that no one helped him bc the perpetrator was an old woman. so heartbreaking
glad someone pointed this out
@@aikeyel1916 (2)
As mentioned in the interview, Korea is a heirarchal country...and an elder woman did that so there's really not much they can do...also his situation could be influenced by the "bystander effect" and their culture isn't really the type to get into other people's business as what I've observed so far. So add that up and you get that reaction from those people around him at that time. If they were also just as racist they would've attacked him verbally too but that did not happen.
I feel our group was lucky, the Koreans only threw eggs at our equipment when we were in Ortigas, he felt the whole brunt of the cabbage
@@NoName-it4uu but they should help him not just they have different perspective in culture, even they didn't attack him verbally doesn't mean their not racist, they should help him as a human being, because that kind of act of racism can cause worst accident, what if sharp things threw at him and not cabbage? One wrong move and it can take a person's life.
He's so well-spoken. I love that he was given an opportunity like this so he could have a platform to share his beliefs and life principles. Padayon, Chris!~

I am so proud to see Filipinos represented in the world stage and achieving recognition through hard work and self-sacrifice. Thank you, Asian Boss, for exploring Christian's path and allowing Christian share his experiences and impression, good or bad, of living in South Korea. Christian would be the second Filipino actor, that I discovered this year, carving their career in show business. The other actor is Aina Dumlao. Congratulations, Christian and I hope your work as a community leader would create a dialog and further understanding of being a non-Korean in a society that can be harsh and closed-minded.

Korean pride 🇰🇷
Agreed! Squid Game is only just the beginning. He will definitely rise and rise. 🇵🇭🇰🇷🇵🇭🇰🇷💕
Are you proud that pilipino taste a discrimination in that country Korea.
@@acemaldea5180 No need to think so negatively. Many Koreans love Philippines and the Filipinos. We are united because Philippines helped Korea in the Korean War. We know that and we thank the Filipino soldiers for their assistance and service. Ignore all the discrimination...it's a small minority of Korean people who are racist. Most of us love 🇵🇭
🇰🇷🇵🇭🇰🇷🇵🇭
I love how he doesn't sugarcoat things just because he lives in Korea. He just tells the truth, that's it.
Agree, he tells the positive and negative
I’m kinda worried for him since he lives in Korea very brave of him to say that while
Still living there
Koreans don't buy the Filipino's anecdote.
1. In Korea, the last bus of town buses cannot be full. If so, the probability is less than 0.0001%.
2. What are the chances of breaking his glasses by throwing cabbage in a bus full of people?
3. Do you think a woman in her late 50s would dare to physically assault a foreign male in his 30s in the middle of the night? What's the probability?
4. Korean ajummahs keep food preciously. Why would she throw expensive cabbage at a random guy in a bus?
5. The town bus was full, but how could none of the Koreans film it and upload it on the internet? What is the probability?
6. If his story was true, it is a dynamite scoop. Why didn't it appear in any news?
7. There is CCTV on the village bus, and if you report it to the police, you can see the scene as many times as you want. So why didn't he ask for the video? Why does he want us to believe that without actual videos?
8. According to him, the bus was full of people, and no one reported it to the police or stopped it, but someone interpreted the woman's word in English saying, "She wants you to get out of here"? hahaha Even the cheapest and cringest kdrama will be better than that. Asian Boss and this Filipino guy are not good at writing a script.
@@ambery6461 Maybe you're the Ahjummah who threw the cabbage at him... just saying... peace :)
@@orphab.5536 Oh yeah, then are you Christian Lagahit? Christian, don't make up stories just to gain attention.
Imagine being an actor out of nowhere when you just want to support your friend? Congratulations and Kudos sir!
Great interviewer, she didn't avoid certain topics to depict a perfect society. She didn't veer from the topic of racism or the reality of unfair treatment because of being a foreigner. Asian boss never disappoints. It is always great journalism.
Their next topic should be interviewing Korean actors/actresses in Philippines but I don’t know if there is any representation there in the Philippines so hmm
@@xiaoli927 their next topic should be why china is so evil and xi jinping thinks he is a God and why China's economy today is suffering.

Yeah thank you but seeing ali died is heartbreaking 💔
@@theburden9920 yeah 💔💔 you are right
Indeed... Hi from 🇵🇭
@@jam2658 hello from 🇮🇳
❤
The audacity of those women saying "The foreigners are all bad here." and "You just have to get out." When she's the one hurting other people and spitting nasty words. Had I been the one who experienced it, I won't be able to contain my mouth. Honestly, You just don't give respect to anyone who doesn't even deserves it, be thankful he's a great man.
The reason no one would stand up for him is that Koreans have a very hierarchical type of society where they don't argue against their elders.
One of the probabilities. Although from what I heard from my friends who work/live in korea, most koreans do look down on some foreigners (it's based from their personal experiences), specially Filipinos, that's also a huge probability on why no one stood up for him.
yeah, I now lost interest to anything related to korea anymore:"(( maybe bc i heard too much racism experienced from my fellow filos that my heart can't handle to like the country anymore:"((
@@shammahfaithaltizo6763 Actually, my Korean aunt would like me to study in Korea after seeing that I'm fluent in their language. After I had my vacation at Korea, I sadly turned her offer down. I experienced petty acts of racism and I can't just ignore those.
@@nicolatteuwu7395 so sorry for experiencing that:( I quite hate some filos who still defend korea, like its true that every country has racist people including ours but we should still recognize the severity of racism and prejudices against southeast asians in korea. It's already 2021 and the issue is still prominent and nobody is really talking about it seriously. We idolize them so much that we can't accept the negative aspects of their country:((
I envy the way he speak English continuously it so normal for HIM
Hes sooo fluent😤
It's actually pretty normal in the Philippines.
@@Art-rx6qz yes your right
It takes proper practice to speak fluently, include other skills as well.
Great interview, the host really allowing the guest to talk to his hearts content so that we can have a glimpse of who he really is. So real! Thank you to the Koreans who gave our kababayan a break.
So down to Earth, humble and this whole interview was so wholesome ✨
Top bloke
This guy is philosophically intelligent and very eloquent, he really would excel in a western country where outspokenness is rewarded. A lot of Filipinos are like this but they’re slaving away in foreign cultures that spits on their faces, it’s sad.

It was awesome to get this insight about the director's instructions, his and Anupam Tripathi's characters stick out in the entire cast as foreigners so I was really curious about why Player 276 ended up in the Squid Game but it was never directly shown! The hand signs and silent nature of the character do make more sense now knowing that he's supposed to not have a particularly good grasp of the Korean language. Though the role may have had no speaking lines, I'm happy it seems he had a blast making the most of his time on set!

Wow congratulations Sir Christian. Filipinos are so proud of you. You're so smart, well spoken and kind. Thanks for those nice words you've shared. God bless you always!
he's very articulate in expressing his ideas & opinions.. great interview...
That old lady who just threw a cabbage in his face then blatantly being racist to him though... :| it saddens me to hear that since the main cast in contrast were supposedly treated like "family"/actually well treated :(
I am so upset at that blatant racism. i would have hit her in the face too, if that was me. Effing old lady...she would get what she’s looking for if that was me.
@@TheMaiah13 don't worry, karma will fix her
Sadly every country has racism , that lady was just another person who externalizes their fear as racism and prejudice . Because of the segregation of cultures, countries and religions : Many humans are too dumb to recognize that we all evolved from the same source , and that goes double for people who believe in creationism.
Yesterday I was listening to that stream of white American people talking , where someone asked ' Where do white people come from' and the best answer they could come up was 'I don't know, outer space maybe' , and these people are supposed to be woke. Science shows that origin of humans is either in India or Africa and some humans migrated from there towards the poles , evolving and discarding different physical traits based on the environment they've adapted to. So imagine my surprise, to find that these streaming people , some of them allegedly having academic titles , fail to recognize this simple scientific truth : That we are all one race called Human and should treat each other better regardless of where we come from..
Racists in east asia have the decorum of little kids, they literally have the mind of 7 year olds, the only preferable quality they have over the kkk is at least they don’t lynch people.
As expected from ignorant and irrational boomers and their senile opinions and views, they're truly a lost cause. Only death can release them from their superficial life.
I have always known that "its him" whenever I see a Pinoy looking guy on every kdrama and movie that I have watched that he was part of. The most remarkable to me was his exposure in The Negotiation. Keep it up Chris, we will continue to support you.🇵🇭💯💙
I know a lot of Filipinos don’t like the cliche that comes with ‘Pinoy pride’ but I am geniunely proud of this man. I see it like S Korea finally being open to seeing foreigners on screen.
are there any attractive Filipinos
@@boobasmith3424 bruh
Most of them already feature foreigners, but they often tend to avoid some from what they call as "inferior countries" and sadly, they consider Filipinos as inferior.
@@boobasmith3424 yes

Dear Asian Boss,
I would like to thank you for inviting this amazing actor for an interview. His acting skills are amazing and his work is splendid in the series. On behalf of all Netflix fans especially Squid Game fans, i would like to ask if you could invite Ali Abdul aka Anupam Tripathi for a similar interview. His acting was commendable and his role made us tear up so bad. We would highly appreciate and acknowledge if you could invite him over too.
Thank you!

@@ilovecupcakkeremixes Hi :)
No wonder he is a good speaker because he is a teacher. He is also talking real without offending. And Wow it hits different when he said no one cares during the accident. :(
He was so articulate and very intellegent! I loved all the insights and wisdom he shared. I was kinda sad about his story in discrimination on foriegners specially Asians. I wish Korens will try to see Filipino's in other perspertive and not to judge them from the way they looked. And as a Filipino, I am proud of you Sir Christian, thank you for representing our roots in such a humble and respectful manner.
Neither articulate nor displaying any level of high intelligence. Just a Filipino speaking with an accent. No need to praise your kind for little things
@@sara.cbc92 Well for me it is because it is not our native language in the first place, and he mentioned he was working as a call center agent before that's why he probably adapt the accent by the way he speaks, and he is not "just a Filipino" though, being recognized in this platform is an opportunity for an artist to be heard, so it's not just "little things" as you call it.
@@Yna-_- he's not an artist of any high calibre. He's just a token Filipino in the Korean movie industry which has almost no diversity.
@@sara.cbc92 If that is your take then it's your opinion. I just want the best for him anyway. 😊 Magbalat kana lang ng maraming patatas kasi ang ampalaya mo. 😊
@@sara.cbc92Hi, I hope you're doing fine in life and I wish you the best to learn how to appreciate others and to not always look for someone's flaws ☺
Wow at the end of the interview saying he can't wait to go back to teaching. I can totally relate, no matter what happens, even global success apparently, when you're a teacher that's what you live for, especially teaching younger generations. I wish him well in both teaching and acting. He was a joy to listen to.

A professional, humble, honest and talented gentleman.
As one of South Korean people, I feel so sorry to hear the part about the abnormal treatment he took in the bus.
Especially, some old narrow-minded people tend to look down on the people from South East Asian country or Africa. It's a totally racism. I think young generation are much normal and open-minded. I hope those kinds of terrible happenings disappear in Korea ASAP
You can just say black peoples because not every black people are from Africa and there is not only black people in Africa 😊
They must be reminded of the times they were war-torn brought by Korean War and the Philippines is one of the countries alongside UN which rescued them from the communist North and given the opportunity to live their chosen lives to the fullest. Never forget the sacrifices of foreigners for South Koreans to enjoy the freedom and high quality of living, especially from a Third World countries like the Philippines.
@@michaelkevinmirasol8256 Lol I think they already know that and they're paying their due naman, so you don't need to remind them that, it's just that there are some racist and narrow-minded people in every group.

crazy that psycho woman threw a cabbage at him and told him to get off the bus because he wasn't korean. I can't imagine going through that.
You're so naive to believe everything this pseudo-media a.k.a Asian Boss produces. Koreans don't buy the Filipino's anecdote.
1. In Korea, the last bus of town buses cannot be full. If so, the probability is less than 0.0001%.
2. What are the chances of breaking glasses by throwing cabbage in a bus full of people? Is this a fantasy martial arts movie? lol

Filipinos are really good in English! The fluency.
Ah where are you from?
True that. A guy transferred to my school in Canada and I could hardly tell he wasn't from here
I guess
@@kasa-ysayan what u mean lol their english is better than a lot of actual english speakers
Not everyone is fluent, but everyone can understand and speak a bit of English. Even the poorest street peddlers and the street kids. Legacy of being an American colony. When I was in grade school in Manila, our English teacher imposed a rule where you pay up a certain amount for every non-English word you utter in class. It wasnt even a very prestigious school.
Wow! I am amazed and jelaous at the same time haha! You are definitely having the best time of your life, not only because of your squid game gig, but because of all the things you have experienced and opportunities off cam. People like you makes me proud to be a Filipino. Mabuhay ka at Salamat!
Very positive guy, especially by the way he talked about unjust encounters. Wish him success.
I really like the way he speaks. By just hearing him speaking you can say he is a light hearted person. More project for you sir.

Oui
I think Ali being a Pakistani but played by an Indian actor caused some uproar among Pakistani people when the show came out. I wanna know how Asian Boss will tackle that.
Asian Boss has stolen all the smartest interviewers on the planet. Be proud!
She has Downs
This interview is really well done, the interviewer is pretty good and formal, i hope more success to him
It was such a great interview and it was very smooth. It was pleasing to hear and see Chris keeps on talking and the interviewer was attentive, and I agree, no interruptions.
I guess the reason why it was a big deal was because Squid game is very popular here in PH then there's a Filipino cast. I just feel bad with regard to discrimination and racism he experienced in SK, well racism is everywhere naman. Thank you Asian Boss for interviewing him. Goodluck to your career Sir Chris!
This was such a great insightful interview. Wow... I loved the fact that he is a teacher 1st in heart and mind. Even in doing other things he wants to inspire and teach. I loved that he said practice makes progress! If we all can just practice in making peace with ourselves and others. Treating each other with respect politeness & a desire to learn. What great progress will this ignite.
All things are possible. I wish him great success and prosperity in all his endeavors. Asian Boss 💯👊 thank you for a great interview and platform. 👏🏿👏🏿😊
His acting skills was so good 👍. Love from india 🇮🇳
I love these interviews. Such great production. Thank you for shining a light into this amazing actor!
@20:48 that is such a clear philosophy of education. I think it will make educators be conscious about what their goals in teaching are and align it to that philosophy
I was always wondering about him. I was surprised they never brought any attention to him aside from the tug of war game. They didn't even show his death in the marbles game.

이 분 저 번에 미국 방송 인터뷰 에선 일본이
동남아인 차별 심해서 가지 않고
한국으로 온다고 말하신거 같던데.
EPS (Employment Permit System) workers in Korea have( E - 9 ) visa that works in small to medium enterprises. Jobs that most Koreans avoids because of its nature of work, called the 3D jobs. Dirty, Difficult, Dangerous. The 4th "D" would be Deadly. And also, it's the field of work where most worker's rights are abused.
I hope this issue come to a light. It really needs to be addressed not just in Korea but globally. Squid game really gave a glimpse that this really happen.
Foreigners aren’t even allowed to work in the Philippines… I visited there a few years ago and I was warned by the hotel that foreigners were specifically targeted for violent crime and to be careful.
@@xiaoli927 Excuse me there's a lot of foreigners working in the Philippines. It doesn't mean they said it to you, it will happen all the time.
As a Filipino, this made me sad. I came here from a video of a Korean listing the things she hates in Korea and the discrimination really crushed my heart.
Very eloquent! More power to you and your adventures in Korea. God bless.
His point of view and how he explains things is amazing, so detailed but so understandable at the same time. He also is a really open and good person, hope things goes well for expats and workers in Korea.
(Asian boss giving us the good stuff once again, thank you for your hard work)
Yes! I agree with 'practice makes progress.' Wonderful interview 👏
Wow, great interviewer and interviewee! This was a great conversation! What a humble and kind guy Chris is.
His character and how he played it was wonderful.

Insightful interview.. he speak many vital point articulately.. brilliant represent of SEA..
i'm so proud of him for touching upon not just representation in the korean industry but also the limited foreign worker rights in Korea.
Tammy seemed to enjoyed the interview too. He maybe just an extra but his stories and the way he answers has substance.
She should head back to the plastic surgery room, seems her procedure not complete yet
*So Humble and Down to Earth Guy. Love from India Brother.*
and he graduated from one of the most well-respected and known University here in Philippines. witch is the same school where my little sis is currently enroled.
What school? UP?
@@YesJadey nope PNU
He's from UP, watch Jessica Lee's vlog where he was a guest on her vlog
@@KK-ly7qr nope see his profile picture
in facebook
@@KK-ly7qr no, he’s a graduate of PNU. He was a classmate of my cousin.
We Indians are also so proud of Ali (Anupam Tripathi)❤
awwww... love watching this interview!!! I can really feel your thoughts and stories!
i just remember he was one of the vlogs at Jessica Lee, now he's one of the big screen! Kudos!
He's a nice guy. Bambi I can't imagine how horrible he must have felt on that bus. Crazy or not, that lady shouldn't have done that. Those people shouldn't have stood by and ignored and neither should anyone invalidate his experience because all of that is the real problem. Denial.
Sorry. Koreans don't buy the Filipino's anecdote.
1. In Korea, the last bus of town buses cannot be full. If so, the probability is less than 0.0001%.
2. What are the chances of breaking glasses by throwing cabbage in a bus full of people? Is this a fantasy martial arts movie? lol
3. Do you think a woman in her late 50s would bother to physically assault a foreign male in his 30s in the middle of the night? What's the probability?
4. Korean ajummahs keep food preciously. Why would she throw expensive cabbage at a random guy in a bus?
5. The town bus was full, but how could none of the Koreans film it and upload it on the internet? What is the probability?
6. If his story was true, it is a dynamite scoop. Why didn't it appear in any news?
7. There is CCTV on the village bus, and if you report it to the police, you can see the scene as many times as you want. So why didn't he ask for the video? Why does he want us to believe that without actual videos?
8. According to him, the bus was full of people, and no one reported it to the police or stopped it, but someone interpreted the woman's word in English saying, "She wants you to get out of here"? hahaha Even the cheapest and cringest kdrama will be better than that. Asian Boss and this Filipino guy are not good at writing a script.
So a racist encounter has to end up on your SNS to be valid? I see.
@@helennagawa1678 Not my SNS, just anybody's SNS. Even much more trivial things are immediately posted on social media or internet communities. A lady in her 50s threw a cabbage to a foreign man in his 30s, and nobody in the bus filmed it? Even though it would get millions of likes and retweet on social media? hahaha. If he wants to make up a story, he has to have some sincerity.
As a fellow Filipino, I’m so proud and happy for him! Hope he will become more successful❤️
My pain of discrimination in korea is truly unforgettable because 4 years ago an old man spat on me while i was in gyeonggi-do and im just peacefully walking around that time. then the vendors refused to sell odenggguk (fishcake) to me because i wasn't korean! Then i wasn't able to enter a club because Im a foreigner.... but i saw some caucasian travelers carrying cameras and a man was even swearing so loudly "fu__ing let me in dont you know who i am?! IM DAVID FUC_ING*****" and multiple people escorted him in (ig he's either high or drunk) I dont even look like a homeless person or even dressed like a thief (i was wearing a dress) but cmon im behaving well and i dont think southeast asian ppl should deserve this kind of treatment. (And if i see some people saying i shouldve done this and that- man i dont speak korean fluently and i tried going to the police and they did nothing to the man who spat on me its so sad.)
I'm so sorry to hear this. No one deserves that. Sadly discrimination happens everywhere.
@@mkim4091 Nah, I think in East Asia Koreans are the ones who discriminate the most to dark skinned Asians.
@@g7enn89 I'm speaking racism in general. It happens everywhere.
@@mkim4091 The difference is that Koreans aren't even shy about being racist. Spitting and vendors refusing to sell? That is to the next level of racism there. When Koreans come and visit our country we treat them with respect and hospitality.
@@g7enn89 in your country i got called korean monkey. We should label all filipinos racist by your logic?
We all really liked his character 👍😊✌
35:30 Straight facts, this man is brilliant on top of being super humble i wish him the best
HI FRIENDSHIP 💙💜💙💜❤️🍼🐷🇯🇵🇨🇦🍓
the dislikes are from the Korean old woman and all the Koreans who think like her
The interview is quite long but has full packed content. Even the interviewer at the end of the interview kinda became speechless.
well spoken person
you got our respect sir
not just for representing philippines but a kind of person you are
so humble
keep it up sir
wow， proud of you kabayan，continue to show your talent。
Inspiring interview :) I appreciate you Chris, you are an inspiration for not giving up and doing your best in whatever you do. I wish you more success! Don't mind our kababayans who continues to have this crab mentality and making an issue out of playing marble game. Thank you for raising our flag and pride.
Wow! This was so detailed and I love hearing all his stories! So happy for him and I hope to see him more in films or dramas!
The fact that most Koreans in the comment section trying to justify saying it's a lie, even though I don't really know if it's true, just by looking at the comments... if I didn't believe about racism in Korea before I believe it now lol
So shameful...
really proud of my dad!!!
He’s your dad? So cool!
@@a_isha. thank you!!!!! it's surreal!
Your dad is a smart man who’s not afraid to use his voice to encourage change, make sure to preserve that.
Real dad?
liar
Thank you sir for speaking on behalf of foreigners working there in SK,
Hope you'll get on a bigger platform
Kudos to you Mr. Christian, your interview shed light to issues but also positive views of Korea. You have a positive sense of thinking and speak of wise words. Truly proud there are educators like you. I hope you get to meet your students soon and spread positive influences on them. 🤗
Koreans are desperately trying to cover this up. We need to expose their racism and lies. Koreans are victim blaming him
There is also a lot of internal bullying in Philippines, specially in schools. Rampant crab mentality also. Discrimintion for disabled citizens is also well stigmatized.
Bullying and discrimination happen in every country, sadly. I don't know one country that's free of discrimination and bullying.
That is very true. It's something our society really cannot leave behind.
That’s the dark side of the Philippines!
AGREE... dsicrimination is universal
I was just browsing comments and then I bumped into comments which seems like doubting Chris' statement about his experienced with that ajumma when he rode in a bus a long time ago.
Do you guys think he was just making it up to get attention? He is not dumb and stupid enough to lie in front of everyone especially on social media platform when he knew the consequences. He is a smart person and you know that by the way he talk with wisdom. We should just accept the fact and reality that there are some people out there (wherever you go in the world, not just in South Korea) who display rude behavior and racism. And by the looks of it, he was NOT generalizing all Koreans who behave just like what ajumma did. Remember, he was asked by the interviewer if there was any or he had experienced racial discrimination...
What Chris' have said was on point, honest and no need to sugar-coat things just because he is living in South Korea. He was brave enough to talk about it openly for others to listen into it. He was trying to wake us up from being lulled. Chris' just spoke his mind, based on what he sees, observed and experienced.
It's not his/our problem if SOME of you are onion-skinned and cannot take the truth and reality.
버스안에 목격자랑 cctv 다있는데 맞았으면 고소를해 병123신도 아니고 ㅋㅋㅋ
This interview came out on the Korean news saying that he is accusing Koreans of being racist and the overwhelming opinion of Korean comments is that he is lying. Comments are even worse on the Korean news stories.
@@pansypurple3981 Ikr. Narrow-minded ppl are everywhere. They will exaggerate all things.
We are very proud of you Chris.. Congratulations..
Proud to be Pinoy🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
