I really like how Asian Boss is going back to its old roots. Not that the big pieces were a bad thing, but casual street interviews are a breath of fresh air
I would like them to do more interviews *outside* of just Korea and Japan. Seems like almost every episode is that and there’s occasionally some in China about Americans.
These are definitely no casual street interviews anymore. They casted the participants beforehand and just do the interviews on the street. Just guess why they coincidentally interview often the same person in different videos.
Yeah I’m a Korean man but I feel there are several idiots who think like this. But it’s similar to where there are western guys who think Japanese women are expected to be obedient and is willing to “satisfy” men.
I think Americans aren't looked at as seriously because Koreans think it's only temporary (they aren't living there permanently, even with visas). And the stereotypes go both ways, their ideas of what an American is, is the same as an American who travels and wants to date because of K-dramas. Korea is still very much an homogeneous country, so most of their ideas on foreigners in general comes from media.
Koreans watch hollywood TV shows and dramas where a girl sleeps with her boyfriend's best friend or her best friend's husband etc. So their stereotype of American girls is based on the hollywood shows and movies.😅
@@koyukiny Exactly! Americans watch the K-dramas and think that is how it'll be. Koreans watch US-dramas and think thats how it'll be. But key point is the entertainment industry putting these stereotypes out there. Not always, but it's definitely a factor.
The black girl said right on spot the worst experience I had when were dating a Korean guy for the first time. He asked me so many rude, sexual-harassed like questions and when I showed the offended face he like :" All Westerners are so open-minded and familiar with this kind of things, Ain't they". That was just horrible. Westerners is very open-minded for cultures, but we aren't vulgar to the point all talking about dirty things. That's the worst stereotype!
@@ham-sley1308 "we have morals", yes of course, but sadly, that's not what "most" Asians see in Western Media (Songs, Movies, Series, Digital Content) hahaha 😂so I can't blame if they think that way. Blame Hollywood for that shitty stereotype, painting westerners as "sex-obsessed people with no regard to morals and etiquette". Those westerner guys in the past decades who flocked Asia only to hook up and get them impregnated then leave them didn't help either. Here in this "particular" Asian country, Asian-Americans who grew up in the states and went there to visit their families or whatever, are often described as "too liberated", and often frowned upon for their "very American behavior" and ill-mannered way of speaking to elders and stuff like that. .
Look I don't know about Korea but what the girl(the one with the black mask and open hair) said it's actually true here in India. Usually the media or the movies only depict American women as wild and crazy, It has actually become a stereotype about them. If you would ask people on the streets of India, most of them would say that they expect American women to be crazy and moody.
because they stereotypically think whole USA as Hollywood which is not true how can people generalise 350 million people with web series , sitcoms , pop culture , movies 😒
i think this is prominent in states like up and bihar. but I think the perception are changing to more real. but the stereotype goes same ways even Americans look down on indians as too traditional and bad guys.
@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 haha have you ever considered stereotypes about Indians in usa? That’s only about 1.2 billion people being put into stereotypical categories....
@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 These stereotypes are there everywhere for every country, people stereotype India on the basis of Bollywood and people stereotype S. Korea on the basis of Kdramas and kpop.
She probably had a really nice Brazilian blowout hairstyle. Straight shiny hair that's completely vertical... I love Asian girls with Brazilian blowouts.
Pink men shouldnt be allowed to date Asi4n w0men…only whit3 girIs are welcome and encouraged to date Asi4n men…that’s what those pink men have done to Asi4n men for decades in the western media…..
Open minded in korea means DTF? If someone in the Philippines asks you if you're open minded, you can be 90% sure it's a sales pitch for multilevel networking.
And most Koreans marry white girls as a trophy piece and the white girls don't even know it they think they really love them. At some point 100% they dated them as a trophy piece to show off to there friends
To go further, should talk to mixed families living in Korea. I'm Korean, married to a Puerto Rican, and let me tell you all the annoying stares I got from people in the subways when we were dating.
@@hyunmichellelee1583 Being very loud? Wtf, just because you haven't experienced doesn't mean that he should not. She specifically mentioned "when dating Puerto RIcan husband."
10:17 ok, that girl experience really got me shocked. how do people like this even exists? But i loved how she reacted to it tho! You go girl, block those creeps right away!
Omg 😰 that's so scary... Those stories really had my eye opened about these matters, there's people like this everywhere no matter how safe the place may be so any careful it's never enough 😭 Can u share her TikTok pls?
When Koreans express their thoughts saying "You have such a small face" to other people, that obviously means that they are complimenting. But in the West, you shouldn't say anything like that especially if people are fat, skinny, etc. which is insulting. These are the cultural differences that I understood.
I took a language course at Seoul National University and I know how their teachers categorize students from western countries and underdeveloped countries. I was so disheartened that I left the course in the middle. Although, I was so hurt but I have a message for all people around the world who have or still are facing discrimination, looked down at just for being born in an underdeveloped country. If anyone thinks they are superior, this thing only exists in a box which is their mind. It has no reality outside. If someone discriminates or uses hateful words, it shows their own low shallow self. Keep in mind no matter how hard the wind blows, mountains are never moved by it. Be happy and strong for who you are, not because what they think you are.
Omg I was thinking on taking a language course in that university was the experience really that bad? :( I know this is an old comment but i would really like your input on this!
As South Korean watching this video, I apologize for the rudeness of all the people that interweaves have dated. It's certainly embarrassing to hear about these experiences and it's intolerable as well. I believe that Koreans shouldn't treat Americans differently on a date compared to dating Koreans. These behaviors is considered inappropriate amongst dating in between Koreans..
It happens, but unfortunately this can happen anywhere. There will always be bad apples that ruin it for others but that should not reflect the whole county. It's well known the USA and South Korea have a little love affair ☺️ that has been going on for awhile now. I can't say anything really negative about South Korea. I honestly have more negative opinions on my own country than I do South Korea 😂
Cheer up b girls. The more of you that open up your dating options, the more common relationships/marriage will be between black women and other cultures.
When that one girl mentioned dating Americans to practice English it reminded me of that thing people say about getting better at a language by dating someone who speaks it. That usually had a more romantic sentiment to it but the way she said it sounded more like a practical reason that kind of treats the person like a tool to accomplish a task.
Some people have trouble making real friends because of that reason as well. Once they get what they want the relationship is useless to them. I never experienced it myself but many people who really want to create deep relationships here have said the same thing.
That's because the probably selected the most attractive looking Americans. And also, Americans living outside of America are the best versions of Americans. They are the smartest, wealthiest and most open minded. The REAL America is the one inside the USA.
This is typical for a country that has no serious laws to punish men that use hidden cameras in public bathrooms and hide camera in their girlfriend's digital clock and sell video on porn channels
Scrolling through I think this is like the 10th comment I've seen that says that! She should do it. With all the likes that I've seen on comments, I think she would already have about 300 subscribers to start 😅
Korea is a completely different country from the US, so even if Kdramas portray it in an ideal way, don't forget their mentality and culture WILL cause a shock, just like any other Eastern culture would. Now knowing that, go ahead and buy your plane ticket. The food's too good to be missing out on😌
Kdramas don't portray S. Korea is ideal way at all, kdramas show bullying, adultery, mental health issues and toxic relationships, crimes and what not, I really don't get when people say kdramas show S. Korea in an ideal way when that's far from the truth.
@@sambatra6162 Honey, what kind of dramas do you watch? I'm talking about the cheesy kind of dramas teenage girls love, those high school 1997 and what not, BOF, heirs, etc. Now it's true that modern dramas are a little intense (insert Penthouse, SKY Castle), but it still showcases very exaggeratedly perfect heroes and handsome men and etc.
I am very glad to be from an extremely diverse area (California). I think it's harder to exoticize or discriminate any race when you grow up with them all and see them as normal people.
Same here in Toronto. Funnily enough, I remember as a kid getting nervous when I visited places with homogenous communities. If I was in a crowd where everyone was the same ethnicity (even my own ethnicity) I used to get weirdly nervous lol
Aw, you're from Cali. How sad. So you think that people in peasant countries (that are not California) are shocked when they see Asians, and that they 100% discriminate ? Take multiple seats. California is one of the most racist country where everything is seen through the skin color and a model of what not to become.
Black girl with purple mask seems so fun and funny! I would love to be her friend. The story she told about the guy wanting her to be bigger was shocking, feel so bad she went through that!
It sounds like, from what I gathered from these particular interviews, that Black women are fetishized, more than anything else. The White men and women seemed to have better luck. I'm not saying that for every person, that opinion is based on this video, and many of the same stories that I've heard. Really makes me sad that that's the perception of Black women there.
I actually saw a video of a black girl who was mistaken for a prostitute in one of her many trips to Korea. For some Korean guys, that may be partly where the misconception is coming from. Many Korean guys go to brothels during their mandatory army time and it is quite common for human traffickers to trap women into prostitution in foreign countries. The way black women are treated in porn or popular media (not too different tbh) wouldn't help either.
@@ekg891 no it's not the blame of hip Hop culture because granted it does have per se some type of influence on it, but that doesn't mean that is the blame for it. If you want to blame somebody you can blame white supremacy, the media; which loves to portray black women as angry and everything of negative. So yeah, let's not do that.
Oh yes honey, I can tell you first hand, the comparison and the s**** that they say. This is one dude that I'm seeing (which I'm actually about to think of cutting off, especially because I call him still using his Twitter and then when I asked him he's like I'm just talking to a friend of which he had sex with that's from Mexico and he keeps talking about Latino women so much) who would always like compare me to Beyonce. As if Beyonce is the only Black woman they ever seen. It's not only him too literally a whole bunch of them; it's a chain reaction. The other thing they could like relate or piggyback off is just what they see on TV. I have a shape as well and by shape I mean I have a body that is not the average Korean size so there's many times where they will always keep comparing me to Kim Kardashian and when I tell them that her body is fake and she's not Black it's a shocker to them for some reason. Or they will say oh Ariana grande and it's like she's not black either...
@@ekg891 and I agree with you but the reason why I say that is because also hip hop has been the bridge and the voice for some of our struggles. And if you want to be actually truth I will say that tomorrow on rap versus hip hop. Hip Hop was a structure of where were you able to have a voice and speak our minds or try to send a message not all hip-hop is ratchet or vulgar however there are some that are actually of empowerment of change of x y and z. But again only the ones that are suitable for others AKA white supremacy those are the ones that get shown the most versus those that actually do send a message get silenced
As a Korean-American, I think it’s an interesting video. Just like the interviewees, I’ve dealt with stereotypes too. However, my experiences have been here in the U.S.. I guess if you’re a minority, wherever you are in the world, people will have misconceptions about you. As the saying goes, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
love the way the girl from NY talks with her hands haha. Sorry to hear she had a crazy for a boyfriend. What the guy from Chicago said is true, higher standards and more judgemental. My confidence and self-esteem recovered and got better when I started dating outside of my race and also when I lived abroad. There is certain casualness to pointing out how someone looks that day, what they're wearing, skin troubles, etc. Koreans aren't the only one to do this, but it has felt like it is one of the main things people do.
Most Koreans I know have zero encounter or relationship with foreigners. Alot of Koreans you will encounter are certain types of people. They are either people who just wants to date a foreigner, people who are already very international, or people who wanna practice from you. Ofc there are others but alot of times it is very difficult for foreigners to get a grasp of the idea of average koreans. It takes alot for foreigners to penetrate into the culture through bad streotypes and ingenuinity put upon the foreign people. These people who were interviewed probably had to manage so many tough moments and disapointments. I hope it turns out rewarding and fulfilling. Koreans have alot to offer too.
BK in Korea is viewed as being much more premium compared to BK in US. BK is the worst food chain in US because of its poor management and their run down facilities. I think BK in Korea is doing well. Don't be surprised by how low some people's standards are though, because (I live in US btw) my friend took his date to McD's and they had a romantic time in his truck in the McD's parking lot afterwards. I also once took my date to Denny's before taking her to the hotel. I wasn't planning on taking her to such a casual place but when I asked her where she wanted to go to eat she said Denny's lol.
This video was very good. Let’s be honest though. These stereotypes play a part no matter where you are. If you’re a foreigner this can happen to you in any country. All it really matters on is if you and the person are compatible. All about that ❤️
I'm from South Korean, but live in Canada and I married a UK girl. She has never watched a single episode of Kdrama or listened to a single Kpop song... well... besides gangnam style, but that one you couldn't avoid. I personally don't consume a lot of Korean content might be why, but she loves any non-overly spicy Korean food.
I married into a Korean family...I speak 4 words of Korean, never watched a kdrama, and I only know BTS and Mamamoo..Have known my husband since we were 12, we are 41 now😉..
I'm Vietnamese Dutch married to a Korean living in Korea and altho the datingculture is pretty much the same as everywhere else, the biggest culture clash for me would be the focus on work/career and money in Korea whereas in the Netherlands people focus on rest/hobbies and downtime.
The whole mentality of working to live vs living to work. I'm Dutch and have been in a relationship with a Vietnamese for several years, luckily her parents are super chill but I have Vietnamese friends who were forced by their parents to brake up because the income of the partner was too lowfor their standards.
@@maiyo07kewpie23 uhm, no, it doesn't have to do with that at all... At least not in the cases I know. Having a good income in the eyes of most east Asian parents equates to stability in life. Parents don't want their sons or daughters to have hardships, remember most parents of people who have a relationship went through the war in Vietnam.
Both Korean guys I dated while I studied in Korea were particular about showering often and also were both confused about getting std tests. I was like...we are not hooking up if you're not getting tested. It was definitely surprising from my perspective. One guy did actually listen to me and finally understood my point of view on that so that was nice at least. I heard that Korean couples shower before having sex which is interesting. Not sure how true it was, but the showering thing made more sense after hearing that.
Question: Is it easy to meet new Korean people and make relationships? Answer: It much depends on your nationality. It is indeed easy for Americans or British or Germans... But it is not easy for people from "less refined" countries. Its a shame. But this is the reality
10:15. I love these interviews so much. Their way of storytelling reminds me of my friends. Also, all of these are horrible things to go through, and unfortunately happen just about everywhere.
18:10 Her impression killed me 🤣 I’ve seen that a ton in Korean dramas but I wondered how common it really is. I have heard the younger generation more used to the idea of platonic friends of a different gender.
There was no example there but it's definitely different for a brother! Biggest thing to remember is not everyone is the same. Like for example my fiancé is not like the majority. There will be culture shock if you just watch the news or tvs/drama and not see documentaries, vlogs and so on.
Most Korean women are not rude at all, they don't hide their true intention to just have some fun time. In the past days Korean women couldn't have chance to take higher education like going university and learn language, that luxury was only for men. But now most girls go to university and they are well educated and have manner. Also they are getting to make their careers, women are more independent in the financial way, still get paid 2 of 3 comparing with male workers but they're trying. In opposite, many men are likely to get more assertive in the way they make relationship with women and men both. As many men still expect their partners being submissive, and have control on their relationship with their dudes too, they often bluff about numbers of women they slept with. I'm talking in general, not everyone is like this.
@@MasoTrumoi yeah for sure! I have only been there shortly and always with my fiancé. But the main thing I experienced was curiosity, especially in neighborhoods that rarely have foreigners. I approached people with a smile and was polite and I recieved the same thing back. Also her mom is super nice to me very kind and always asking how I'm I and wishing the best. That's just my experience.
Also, all of this is true. I'm American and black and lived in Korea and Korean men are exactly how all of the girls are saying. They fetishize American women and black girls too. They ask really inappropriate questions. They will say things that they think is okay, but it's not okay. They get all of their info from movies and tv and music videos. Especially with black girls. They see all these girls twerking on TH-cam and will ask, "can you twerk?" It's weird and bizarre.
If their expectation correlates to the type of sources they are exposed to, why is it weird and bizarre. Even in America, the biggest multi-racial country in world, stereotypes exist for each and every ethnic group there exists within.
@@trstnhn It’s weird and bizarre because they expect real life to be like the entertainment media they consume. Look at it this way, it’s also weird and bizarre to go out to Korea and expect everyone to look like a Kpop idol. Like bro, regular everyday people are not going to entertain you it’s not their job.
@@Electricshay Weird analogy. It's a given that the actors and actresses will have superior looks compared to the ordinary people. No one is gullible enough to believe that the beauty standard of a country's celebrities is an accurate representation of the rest of its people. No one watches a Brad Pitt movie and think, "Oh wow, I gotta go to US to get me a Brad Pitt." However, social and community aspects of society that are portrayed in tv series, movies, and personal broadcasts are somewhat accurate in depicting the actual reality. One thing you have to understand here is that an accurate depiction of the reality doesn't have to represent the whole populace.
@@jazzg.6771 However, social interactions happen on the go. No one is going to see an American, pull out their phone to study their culture for 30 minutes, and then approach the person. You presented a very convenient argument that unfortunately is not capable of proving any point.
But Korean people are very light skinned in appearance. They certainly aren’t brown, red or black. Most are just as light skinned as any caucasian European or caucasian American. I get that they are asian but such a large percentage of Asian are light skinned so I think it’s odd that a Korean would differentiate themselves from any other light skinned culture.
I would like the girl with the purple mask to tell me her stories 😂 the Carolina accent was like wow 🤣 how tall is the reporter??? 😳 koreans like americans generally, if any of those people with the exact same looks are from another country it could differ, that shows that sometimes they fetishize the relations. Korea is a fun country overall, i would recommend everyone to visit the country, you would love it 😄
Have you done any interviews with foreigns/expats outside of metro areas? I feel that the life of an expat in the countryside is very different from expats who live in major cities. I think it would be very helpful for those who plan to come here but might have trouble finding information about living outside major cities.
They ask in the fb groups who want to be interested and anyone regardless of where they are in Korea can be interviewed. The meeting place is Seoul tho
LoL that's means I have to sacrifice my old friendship with an opposite gender friend, just to date an korean whom I didn't even knew about them couple weeks back. That's so childish
There are so many stereotypes on both sides.. I am sure that you will do the opposite and ask men what it's like to date a non Korean and you will hear so many of the stereotypes of foreign woman. I really love the lady with the red mask, so full of self esteem and strong
I think I'm in love with her (5:40). She's beautiful, intelligent, and has a real warm voice and demeanor. I like her (8:55) too though lol (9:50) girl is hilarious tho 🤣
The short girl with the denim jacket is so wholesome...very positive vibe about her. I would definitely see guys taking her seriously, Koreans or Americans.
I live in Korea. As a foreign woman. Been told I was ugly so much. Super hard to date. Been stood up about 10 times in a year. Told that foreigners are too hairy or too smelly. I got persuaded into cosmetic procedures by someone i was dating as they were ashamed of me. I have had to start therapy due to the damage inflicted.
That's unfortunate! Are you able to move? While living in Korea, have you tried to consume less Korean content and focus on watching content from where you are from? Media (e.g. movies, social media etc) may also impact one's self-esteem.
That is so sad to hear. I hope you gain the strength to overcome such mental hardships by people who were insecure about their own selves and tried to take it out on you. Pls remember beauty is what beauty does. You dont need validation from anyone as long as you know how beautiful you are inside and out.
That's awful. Yet not surprising. Korea is one of the most vain, look-centered places in the world for sure. The fact that even photoshop their national i.ds, job application photos, etc. shows the extend appearance is revered over there. I can't say I enjoyed that aspect of the country at all while living there. I hope you were able to find your way in a country that places more an emphasis on you than your shell.
Korea is definitely a place i wouldnt want to visit anytime soon. I’d love to try their local foods but as a southeast asian, i’d get torn to shreds about my looks. Wish their society wasnt so judgmental.
@@_master i can bet my life you wouldnt use those same words if it was NORTH korea. There are some truth to what people say, its not all social media/youtube. Get real.
3 showers a day - hahaha yep a MALE friend!? - not allowed. I've actually had Korean male friends stop talking to me when I started a relationship "I don't want to make trouble with your boyfriend" :(
Interracial dating is in fact complicated. Guy from the west is most likely gonna be labeled as having yellow fever of some kind when it comes to dating an Asian woman. And similarly, an Asian woman is gonna be perceived as having some type of selfish interest when it comes to dating a guy from the west. On the other hand, there are people who like to appreciate and embrace characteristics of their own race (it's a choice after all). So when they are into co-racial relationship, they are labeled as ignorant or racist even. This type of phenomenon is quite interesting.
Open-mindednessness is being open to cultural or people or dating outside your race. From videos I have watched of Black women in Korea when they talk about Korean men put "open-minded" it means you are willing to just be a one-night stand or just friends with benefits. Men are going to be men everywhere like have an open mind of not generalizing all Korean men that will fetish or stereotypes you depending on your race but do look out for signs and make sure to be careful.
It's a different culture. In my culture, no matter what, a man or a woman who has sex out of marriage will always be seen as easy. Even if a woman or a man waits for three months while dating people in my culture, they will still be seen as easy. Because a man must prove himself to a woman, marry her before they have sex.
that's your culture and a man should respect it. What I am saying is that Korean men think American women are easy especially they hyper-sexualized black women a lot due to the media. Not all foreigners just want to have a "good time" some want to establish a relationship and even have marriage in mind. As long as you remember your values and make sure to tell the opposite sex your values. If they don't respect those values move on to the next. For me, I'm not waiting for marriage to have sex just want to feel comfortable and when I know I know. I don't want to be pressured about it or even it brought up frequently. I am more about getting to know a person before I have to lay down naked in front of a man.
I met my Korean boyfriend in Seoul and we've since moved to Berlin. After dating a lot of Korean men, finding someone who was open-minded [in the not DTF way], not religious, and not living with his parents felt like a breath of fresh air. We moved in together after a month of dating and have been together for five and a half years now.
I'm Korean and Koreans discriminate a lot. But if it's any consolation , they discriminate u even if ur Korean. From ur looks to ur choice of socks. U will. Be judged no matter what lawl
What does dating mean? Sleeping together for a season? If thats is the case then most people of all cultures are open to date people from different cultures. A committed relationship is different.
Agatha dating is what you do until you meet someone you want as a boyfriend or girlfriend. It doesn't mean you have to sleep with everyone! Also a time to get to know someone.
@@upthedown1 That depends on the culture. In the US for instance, dating almost always includes sex. In korean culture, dating is serious ans means you are already boyfriend and girlfriend.
I kinda learned that in Korean culture, they are more blunt and straight to the point where is America we beat around the bush and try to give answers others want to hear.
I think there's no need to stereotype them, like western people who believes that everyone it's like from the kdramas or kpop neither should think all korean men are like the burger king guy😩 there's all kinds of people.. of course there are polite, kind and mature men or women that are without that social stigma over foreigners and in any country not only in korea will be a culture clash with people with different nationalities..
Ah Koreans, love em or avoid them. Here is a short life-story ; had been in kind of a friendship circle with about 20 or so from Seoul to Jeju and everywhere else between and one very strong trends they all had in common : I'm treated more like a country than an individual !! I'm from Northeast India.
I'm surprised that there're fluent south Koreans in English enough to date with foreigners, proportionally they're so rare to meet some Koreans enough to engage in meaningful conversations.
What I can say for sure is that Koreans who speak English are already very international, have a purpose to meet only foreigners, or have lived abroad for a long time. If you want a dating experience like k-drama, it's good to learn Korean hard and meet a typical Korean guy. I don't know if they have any prejudice, but Korean men take good care of their girlfriends. That's true. They're very romantic.
09:25, 12:23 sisters are right. Some korean men are OBSESSIVE towards a perfect body and face for them. They are not interested in their personalities or backgrounds.
I am living in other country as an international student, and I can literally say that it is very common in many countries when local ppl meet you to ask you some verrry private and rude questions. It may hurt you and your feelings but YOU HAVE TO get used to it. I also talked to my friends about this issue but they considered this manner as a way to show their excitement of seeing foreigners. 🙄 But actually it’s not. I still don’t know how to react to these actions but i just learned how to keep my eyes and ears close whenever someone trying to offend me. Sometimes i cry just because I cannot defend myself. I try to keep my tears till I arrive home. On the other hand, if you want to get used to such situations it is better for you to live or work somewhere there are many foreigners similar to you :) or make alot of foreign friends. Keep in mind that not all ppl are similar to one another they may not get offended after seeing how their korean friends treat. It depends on how individuals come from and their personalities.
You need better friends - ones who have decent principles, standards and boundaries. Asking if someone is married/single/has children is one thing - whether that is seen as rude to ask to a stranger can differ among cultures. But a man asking sexual questions to a woman he has just met is rude and unacceptable in EVERY culture on planet earth.
As an American, I can't see us telling someone else that we are attracted to their friend, "to get in that shape", we might be oblivious in other countries, and I see Americans not following rules such as in Hawaii, when they don't stay away from signs that CLEARLY say it's a dangerous area, but I plan on going to Korea next year and I'm kinda scared with this aspect.
Could you try to do some videos with expats in Vietnam? I'd love to see that as I will (hopefully) be moving to Vietnam within the next year or so. Thanks!
Vietnamese people are kind and they are just like the climate of their country, mostly sunny. Just notice about making close relationship with people in the pool of your status, like your colleagues, in the similar residence, because quite many people know you as your fund.
In my first year at university, I dated a Korean girl. It was fun at first, but there were so many difficulties (her English wasn't that good at the time and our personalities and ideals were completely different) in the end the relationship lasted only 2 weeks. She was my first ever girlfriend, so it was really hard to get over her.
The guy from north carolina still keeps his strong southern accent going even when living in korea for 14 years... creds to him
i know !!! lmaooo
Older people generally keep their accents and it’s hard to change it unlike younger people
As an American without a distinct accent (I do some southern-isms occasionally) it at some point is a choice hahaha
I swear ive seem him in some other video

Yes actually! AsianBoss should always keep this casual side active. It definitely attracts more viewers. I too subscribed for that reason.
I would like them to do more interviews *outside* of just Korea and Japan. Seems like almost every episode is that and there’s occasionally some in China about Americans.
These are definitely no casual street interviews anymore. They casted the participants beforehand and just do the interviews on the street. Just guess why they coincidentally interview often the same person in different videos.

Korea is still very much an homogeneous country, so most of their ideas on foreigners in general comes from media.
because they think whole USA is like Hollywood which is not totally true
@@pikachuthunderbolt3919 i don't do lmao
EXACTLY
Koreans watch hollywood TV shows and dramas where a girl sleeps with her boyfriend's best friend or her best friend's husband etc. So their stereotype of American girls is based on the hollywood shows and movies.😅
@@koyukiny Exactly! Americans watch the K-dramas and think that is how it'll be. Koreans watch US-dramas and think thats how it'll be. But key point is the entertainment industry putting these stereotypes out there. Not always, but it's definitely a factor.
The black girl said right on spot the worst experience I had when were dating a Korean guy for the first time. He asked me so many rude, sexual-harassed like questions and when I showed the offended face he like :" All Westerners are so open-minded and familiar with this kind of things, Ain't they". That was just horrible. Westerners is very open-minded for cultures, but we aren't vulgar to the point all talking about dirty things. That's the worst stereotype!
I'm so sorry that happened to you. It really does piss me off that they think we would talk about anything gross out loud like WE HAVE MORALS
@@ham-sley1308 "we have morals", yes of course, but sadly, that's not what "most" Asians see in Western Media (Songs, Movies, Series, Digital Content) hahaha 😂so I can't blame if they think that way. Blame Hollywood for that shitty stereotype, painting westerners as "sex-obsessed people with no regard to morals and etiquette". Those westerner guys in the past decades who flocked Asia only to hook up and get them impregnated then leave them didn't help either.
Here in this "particular" Asian country, Asian-Americans who grew up in the states and went there to visit their families or whatever, are often described as "too liberated", and often frowned upon for their "very American behavior" and ill-mannered way of speaking to elders and stuff like that. .
wow...
I think it's usually the school bully type of guys who would ask those kind of questions.
American guys may be more open to talk about dirty subjects but Asians need to understand you should still be polite and formal with western ladies.
Look I don't know about Korea but what the girl(the one with the black mask and open hair) said it's actually true here in India. Usually the media or the movies only depict American women as wild and crazy, It has actually become a stereotype about them. If you would ask people on the streets of India, most of them would say that they expect American women to be crazy and moody.
because they stereotypically think whole USA as Hollywood which is not true

When Koreans express their thoughts saying "You have such a small face" to other people, that obviously means that they are complimenting.

I took a language course at Seoul National University and I know how their teachers categorize students from western countries and underdeveloped countries. I was so disheartened that I left the course in the middle. Although, I was so hurt but I have a message for all people around the world who have or still are facing discrimination, looked down at just for being born in an underdeveloped country. If anyone thinks they are superior, this thing only exists in a box which is their mind. It has no reality outside. If someone discriminates or uses hateful words, it shows their own low shallow self. Keep in mind no matter how hard the wind blows, mountains are never moved by it. Be happy and strong for who you are, not because what they think you are.
Omg I was thinking on taking a language course in that university was the experience really that bad? :( I know this is an old comment but i would really like your input on this!

As South Korean watching this video, I apologize for the rudeness of all the people that interweaves have dated. It's certainly embarrassing to hear about these experiences and it's intolerable as well. I believe that Koreans shouldn't treat Americans differently on a date compared to dating Koreans. These behaviors is considered inappropriate amongst dating in between Koreans..
Let alone, people from other countries for that matter.
Thanks for the insight, Jason!
It happens, but unfortunately this can happen anywhere. There will always be bad apples that ruin it for others but that should not reflect the whole county. It's well known the USA and South Korea have a little love affair ☺️ that has been going on for awhile now. I can't say anything really negative about South Korea.

Cheer up b girls. The more of you that open up your dating options, the more common relationships/marriage will be between black women and other cultures.
When that one girl mentioned dating Americans to practice English it reminded me of that thing people say about getting better at a language by dating someone who speaks it. That usually had a more romantic sentiment to it but the way she said it sounded more like a practical reason that kind of treats the person like a tool to accomplish a task.
Some people have trouble making real friends because of that reason as well. Once they get what they want the relationship is useless to them. I never experienced it myself but many people who really want to create deep relationships here have said the same thing.

I am very glad to be from an extremely diverse area (California). I think it's harder to exoticize or discriminate any race when you grow up with them all and see them as normal people.
Totally agree!
Same here in Toronto. Funnily enough, I remember as a kid getting nervous when I visited places with homogenous communities. If I was in a crowd where everyone was the same ethnicity (even my own ethnicity) I used to get weirdly nervous lol
Aw, you're from Cali. How sad.
So you think that people in peasant countries (that are not California) are shocked when they see Asians, and that they 100% discriminate ?

It sounds like, from what I gathered from these particular interviews, that Black women are fetishized, more than anything else. The White men and women seemed to have better luck. I'm not saying that for every person, that opinion is based on this video, and many of the same stories that I've heard. Really makes me sad that that's the perception of Black women there.
I actually saw a video of a black girl who was mistaken for a prostitute in one of her many trips to Korea. For some Korean guys, that may be partly where the misconception is coming from. Many Korean guys go to brothels during their mandatory army time and it is quite common for human traffickers to trap women into prostitution in foreign countries. The way black women are treated in porn or popular media (not too different tbh) wouldn't help either.
@@ekg891 no it's not the blame of hip Hop culture because granted it does have per se some type of influence on it, but that doesn't mean that is the blame for it. If you want to blame somebody you can blame white supremacy, the media; which loves to portray black women as angry and everything of negative. So yeah, let's not do that.
Oh yes honey, I can tell you first hand, the comparison and the s**** that they say. This is one dude that I'm seeing (which I'm actually about to think of cutting off, especially because I call him still using his Twitter and then when I asked him he's like I'm just talking to a friend of which he had sex with that's from Mexico and he keeps talking about Latino women so much) who would always like compare me to Beyonce. As if Beyonce is the only Black woman they ever seen. It's not only him too literally a whole bunch of them; it's a chain reaction. The other thing they could like relate or piggyback off is just what they see on TV. I have a shape as well and by shape I mean I have a body that is not the average Korean size so there's many times where they will always keep comparing me to Kim Kardashian and when I tell them that her body is fake and she's not Black it's a shocker to them for some reason. Or they will say oh Ariana grande and it's like she's not black either...
@@ekg891 and I agree with you but the reason why I say that is because also hip hop has been the bridge and the voice for some of our struggles. And if you want to be actually truth I will say that tomorrow on rap versus hip hop. Hip Hop was a structure of where were you able to have a voice and speak our minds or try to send a message not all hip-hop is ratchet or vulgar however there are some that are actually of empowerment of change of x y and z. But again only the ones that are suitable for others AKA white supremacy those are the ones that get shown the most versus those that actually do send a message get silenced

My confidence and self-esteem recovered and got better when I started dating outside of my race and also when I lived abroad. There is certain casualness to pointing out how someone looks that day, what they're wearing, skin troubles, etc. Koreans aren't the only one to do this, but it has felt like it is one of the main things people do.
The dude who decided "that's the one" from liking the back of her head is hilarious 😂
Most Koreans I know have zero encounter or relationship with foreigners. Alot of Koreans you will encounter are certain types of people. They are either people who just wants to date a foreigner, people who are already very international, or people who wanna practice from you. Ofc there are others but alot of times it is very difficult for foreigners to get a grasp of the idea of average koreans. It takes alot for foreigners to penetrate into the culture through bad streotypes and ingenuinity put upon the foreign people.
These people who were interviewed probably had to manage so many tough moments and disapointments. I hope it turns out rewarding and fulfilling. Koreans have alot to offer too.

BK in Korea is viewed as being much more premium compared to BK in US. BK is the worst food chain in US because of its poor management and their run down facilities. I think BK in Korea is doing well.
Don't be surprised by how low some people's standards are though, because (I live in US btw) my friend took his date to McD's and they had a romantic time in his truck in the McD's parking lot afterwards.
I also once took my date to Denny's before taking her to the hotel. I wasn't planning on taking her to such a casual place but when I asked her where she wanted to go to eat she said Denny's lol.
This video was very good. Let’s be honest though. These stereotypes play a part no matter where you are. If you’re a foreigner this can happen to you in any country. All it really matters on is if you and the person are compatible. All about that ❤️

I’ve seen that a ton in Korean dramas but I wondered how common it really is. I have heard the younger generation more used to the idea of platonic friends of a different gender.
There was no example there but it's definitely different for a brother! Biggest thing to remember is not everyone is the same. Like for example my fiancé is not like the majority. There will be culture shock if you just watch the news or tvs/drama and not see documentaries, vlogs and so on.
Can you give anymore insight on your experience? I was wondering about that while I was watching, since most of the men were white.
Exactly!!
Most Korean women are not rude at all, they don't hide their true intention to just have some fun time. In the past days Korean women couldn't have chance to take higher education like going university and learn language, that luxury was only for men. But now most girls go to university and they are well educated and have manner. Also they are getting to make their careers, women are more independent in the financial way, still get paid 2 of 3 comparing with male workers but they're trying. In opposite, many men are likely to get more assertive in the way they make relationship with women and men both. As many men still expect their partners being submissive, and have control on their relationship with their dudes too, they often bluff about numbers of women they slept with. I'm talking in general, not everyone is like this.
@@MasoTrumoi yeah for sure! I have only been there shortly and always with my fiancé. But the main thing I experienced was curiosity, especially in neighborhoods that rarely have foreigners. I approached people with a smile and was polite and I recieved the same thing back. Also her mom is super nice to me very kind and always asking how I'm I and wishing the best. That's just my experience.
@@Blessindisguise that's really nice and reassuring to hear.
Also, all of this is true. I'm American and black and lived in Korea and Korean men are exactly how all of the girls are saying. They fetishize American women and black girls too.

They see all these girls twerking on TH-cam and will ask, "can you twerk?" It's weird and bizarre.
If their expectation correlates to the type of sources they are exposed to, why is it weird and bizarre. Even in America, the biggest multi-racial country in world, stereotypes exist for each and every ethnic group there exists within.
@@trstnhn It’s weird and bizarre because they expect real life to be like the entertainment media they consume.

@@Electricshay Weird analogy.
It's a given that the actors and actresses will have superior looks compared to the ordinary people. No one is gullible enough to believe that the beauty standard of a country's celebrities is an accurate representation of the rest of its people. No one watches a Brad Pitt movie and think, "Oh wow, I gotta go to US to get me a Brad Pitt."
However, social and community aspects of society that are portrayed in tv series, movies, and personal broadcasts are somewhat accurate in depicting the actual reality.
One thing you have to understand here is that an accurate depiction of the reality doesn't have to represent the whole populace.

To the vast majority of Koreans, dating a foriegner means "Dating a white person" which is sad.
Exactly. Like the only girl that was married to korean was small white woman,while black girls had horrible experiences. I wonder why 🤷
But Korean people are very light skinned in appearance. They certainly aren’t brown, red or black. Most are just as light skinned as any caucasian European or caucasian American. I get that they are asian but such a large percentage of Asian are light skinned so I think it’s odd that a Korean would differentiate themselves from any other light skinned culture.

I live in Korea. As a foreign woman. Been told I was ugly so much. Super hard to date. Been stood up about 10 times in a year. Told that foreigners are too hairy or too smelly. I got persuaded into cosmetic procedures by someone i was dating as they were ashamed of me. I have had to start therapy due to the damage inflicted.
That's unfortunate! Are you able to move? While living in Korea, have you tried to consume less Korean content and focus on watching content from where you are from? Media (e.g. movies, social media etc) may also impact one's self-esteem.
That is so sad to hear. I hope you gain the strength to overcome such mental hardships by people who were insecure about their own selves and tried to take it out on you. Pls remember beauty is what beauty does. You dont need validation from anyone as long as you know how beautiful you are inside and out.
Sarah why are you still there
That's awful. Yet not surprising. Korea is one of the most vain, look-centered places in the world for sure. The fact that even photoshop their national i.ds, job application photos, etc. shows the extend appearance is revered over there. I can't say I enjoyed that aspect of the country at all while living there. I hope you were able to find your way in a country that places more an emphasis on you than your shell.
Korea is definitely a place i wouldnt want to visit anytime soon. I’d love to try their local foods but as a southeast asian, i’d get torn to shreds about my looks. Wish their society wasnt so judgmental.
How about getting your views from real life and not social media
@@_master fact
@@slee2695 how about you stop getting your views from kpop/kdrama. Its actually cringe.
@@_master i can bet my life you wouldnt use those same words if it was NORTH korea. There are some truth to what people say, its not all social media/youtube. Get real.
@@iamgem i already know what country you're from just from your hater attitude
20:10 gal is right....Korea is very Americanized and they’re more similar to Americans
3 showers a day - hahaha yep
a MALE friend!? - not allowed. I've actually had Korean male friends stop talking to me when I started a relationship "I don't want to make trouble with your boyfriend" :(
Yay! A new video!
Interracial dating is in fact complicated.
Guy from the west is most likely gonna be labeled as having yellow fever of some kind when it comes to dating an Asian woman. And similarly, an Asian woman is gonna be perceived as having some type of selfish interest when it comes to dating a guy from the west.
On the other hand, there are people who like to appreciate and embrace characteristics of their own race (it's a choice after all). So when they are into co-racial relationship, they are labeled as ignorant or racist even. This type of phenomenon is quite interesting.
Open-mindednessness is being open to cultural or people or dating outside your race. From videos I have watched of Black women in Korea when they talk about Korean men put "open-minded" it means you are willing to just be a one-night stand or just friends with benefits. Men are going to be men everywhere like have an open mind of not generalizing all Korean men that will fetish or stereotypes you depending on your race but do look out for signs and make sure to be careful.
It's a different culture. In my culture, no matter what, a man or a woman who has sex out of marriage will always be seen as easy. Even if a woman or a man waits for three months while dating people in my culture, they will still be seen as easy. Because a man must prove himself to a woman, marry her before they have sex.
that's your culture and a man should respect it. What I am saying is that Korean men think American women are easy especially they hyper-sexualized black women a lot due to the media. Not all foreigners just want to have a "good time" some want to establish a relationship and even have marriage in mind. As long as you remember your values and make sure to tell the opposite sex your values. If they don't respect those values move on to the next. For me, I'm not waiting for marriage to have sex just want to feel comfortable and when I know I know. I don't want to be pressured about it or even it brought up frequently. I am more about getting to know a person before I have to lay down naked in front of a man.
,@Carl Long I haven't seen it. Not even with TH-camrs but there are always some bad apples in the basket.
It means basically the same in USA. Easy sex, anal often
I met my Korean boyfriend in Seoul and we've since moved to Berlin. After dating a lot of Korean men, finding someone who was open-minded [in the not DTF way], not religious, and not living with his parents felt like a breath of fresh air. We moved in together after a month of dating and have been together for five and a half years now.
So long? Why aren't you getting married then
I'm Korean and Koreans discriminate a lot. But if it's any consolation , they discriminate u even if ur Korean. From ur looks to ur choice of socks. U will. Be judged no matter what lawl
What does dating mean? Sleeping together for a season? If thats is the case then most people of all cultures are open to date people from different cultures. A committed relationship is different.
Agatha dating is what you do until you meet someone you want as a boyfriend or girlfriend. It doesn't mean you have to sleep with everyone! Also a time to get to know someone.
@@upthedown1 Where I live dating means to actually be in a relationship, having a boyfriend or girlfriend.
@@mtutoriales Yes I understand Asian cultures have a different idea of what dating is. I think that's nice.
@@upthedown1 That depends on the culture. In the US for instance, dating almost always includes sex. In korean culture, dating is serious ans means you are already boyfriend and girlfriend.
@@upthedown1 Huh, in America dating someone is synonymous with being in a relationship.
I kinda learned that in Korean culture, they are more blunt and straight to the point where is America we beat around the bush and try to give answers others want to hear.
Hey it's Kevin!! Glad to see you're doing well my man!
"Sir um no!" 😂😂 love it
The woman in the denim jacket with the pink fitbit band needs her own show! She's so engaging and entertaining!
Thank you to the sisters in the video that brought the real.
I think there's no need to stereotype them, like western people who believes that everyone it's like from the kdramas or kpop neither should think all korean men are like the burger king guy😩 there's all kinds of people.. of course there are polite, kind and mature men or women that are without that social stigma over foreigners and in any country not only in korea will be a culture clash with people with different nationalities..
Ah Koreans, love em or avoid them. Here is a short life-story ; had been in kind of a friendship circle with about 20 or so from Seoul to Jeju and everywhere else between and one very strong trends they all had in common : I'm treated more like a country than an individual !! I'm from Northeast India.
I'm surprised that there're fluent south Koreans in English enough to date with foreigners, proportionally they're so rare to meet some Koreans enough to engage in meaningful conversations.
whatever you see on Kdrama or Kpop, is NOT representative of korean culture....It's an idealized version peppered w some cultural truths.
What I can say for sure is that Koreans who speak English are already very international, have a purpose to meet only foreigners, or have lived abroad for a long time. If you want a dating experience like k-drama, it's good to learn Korean hard and meet a typical Korean guy. I don't know if they have any prejudice, but Korean men take good care of their girlfriends. That's true. They're very romantic.
3:09 pitbull is that you 😩💖/j

@@rocketman3770 MISTERRRR WORLD WIDEEEEE 😂😂
I thought someone would say that
😂😂😂🤣
Hahaha
I thought no one would say it ahahha
09:25, 12:23 sisters are right.
Some korean men are OBSESSIVE towards a perfect body and face for them. They are not interested in their personalities or backgrounds.
And some girls are obsessed with men's height
@@김지섭-n5l that's true
any guys who are different? america?. uk?? italia???
@@김지섭-n5l is 1.85 m fine in korea?
@@thetaleco4977 Thats pretty tall for Korea
I am living in other country as an international student, and I can literally say that it is very common in many countries when local ppl meet you to ask you some verrry private and rude questions.
It may hurt you and your feelings but YOU HAVE TO get used to it.
I also talked to my friends about this issue but they considered this manner as a way to show their excitement of seeing foreigners. 🙄
But actually it’s not.
I still don’t know how to react to these actions but i just learned how to keep my eyes and ears close whenever someone trying to offend me.
Sometimes i cry just because I cannot defend myself. I try to keep my tears till I arrive home.
On the other hand, if you want to get used to such situations it is better for you to live or work somewhere there are many foreigners similar to you :) or make alot of foreign friends.
Keep in mind that not all ppl are similar to one another they may not get offended after seeing how their korean friends treat. It depends on how individuals come from and their personalities.
You need better friends - ones who have decent principles, standards and boundaries. Asking if someone is married/single/has children is one thing - whether that is seen as rude to ask to a stranger can differ among cultures. But a man asking sexual questions to a woman he has just met is rude and unacceptable in EVERY culture on planet earth.
Just hearing what they are saying just one word comes to mind about Korean society, at least for this age demographic:
“Superficial”
Considering how different Indian Culture (and South Asia as a whole), it would be very interesting to see what it’s dating a South Asian.
Ya i also want that interview but we can't demand as Corona cases are increasing very fast so it would be not safe to take street interview...

@Zura janai Katsura da !! so it’s only hard core dating
i wanna have a friend like the girl at 6:11 . she looks so cute and she seems so friendly.
This is literally the video the world has been needing. Thank you!
As an American, I can't see us telling someone else that we are attracted to their friend, "to get in that shape", we might be oblivious in other countries, and I see Americans not following rules such as in Hawaii, when they don't stay away from signs that CLEARLY say it's a dangerous area, but I plan on going to Korea next year and I'm kinda scared with this aspect.
Could you try to do some videos with expats in Vietnam? I'd love to see that as I will (hopefully) be moving to Vietnam within the next year or so. Thanks!
Vietnam is great 🇻🇳
Vietnamese people are kind and they are just like the climate of their country, mostly sunny. Just notice about making close relationship with people in the pool of your status, like your colleagues, in the similar residence, because quite many people know you as your fund.
This is for Asian boss, i like the fact that they're still here.👍😀
As a gay Filipino-American in Korea. it sucks. I'm not in Seoul; I've experienced a ton of racism.
Every one is a racist bro in some way😂
Korea and Japan see themselves as the true masters of Asia and all other Asians are beneath them.
@@kageyamareijikun No that's Japan, not Korea.
omg the girl in the red mask! I think she's been in other videos. if so, I love her energy! she seems so cool
In my first year at university, I dated a Korean girl. It was fun at first, but there were so many difficulties (her English wasn't that good at the time and our personalities and ideals were completely different) in the end the relationship lasted only 2 weeks. She was my first ever girlfriend, so it was really hard to get over her.
You'll find your match one day buddy!
2 weeks...that ain't a girlfriend lol
@@richardjones3792It was to me 🤷♂
“He doesn’t use lotion!” Took me TF out!!!!!!😂😂😂😂
“Waaait how did we get here?”

Anyone in a mask, at this point, is an IDIOT.
