- Gaming might just be South Korea's national sport and Koreans in general just seem naturally talented at any video game they come across. Have you ever wondered why? Explore Korea's culture and history to see how it's impacted one of Korea's most popular hobbies today.

All of these points are true, but also their educational system plays a big role into this. South Korea like China takes their entrance exams very seriously. Many kids spend all their time studying for that one moment. If professional gaming is going to be their occupation, they are going to play as if their life depended on it.
Because their life depends on it
@@oatandhoney5338 hes not talkin abt north korea lmao
@@framesofscreen8099 I meant in terms of career and what not... No matter what they do, they need to give it their all because in the future, their livelihood might depend on it.
@@oatandhoney5338 doesnt that basically apply to everyone and every job then
These days, korean peopl such as me, would not like people talking about china. So just be careful abt that;;
Finally someone did a video on this! I used to play TekkenTag growing up and the only gamer I feared to play against when going to tournaments were the Koreans!
I swear to God every game I play, these Koreans are just everywhere in the leaderboards, even unpopular games with less than 100 consecutive online player base, even Minecraft servers with less than 50 people these guys are steamrolling my ass.
I think it's acceptance into general culture and society is a big part of it. It's a lot more easier to improve in something that is welcomed by the majority of people
If you are earning good money, you are accepted. It's that easy in Asia.
One more factor. There's very little stigma against playing video games. The words "geek" or "nerd" have no direct Korean translations either.
@@user-vj2cd4bo7u who said Koreans didn't do otherwise? The point is there no DIRECT translation with the same connotation that back in the States do. 포인트를 이해 못 하신 듯...
I think "nerd" can be translated into Korean as "jjindda찐따". But like you said, "찐따" is not that related to computers.
@@user-hy2ms5pw6z Right. 찐따 is really more like an idiot to me than "nerd", especially as it relates to computers or electronics.
@@koomaappa75 definitely 찐따 is more close to nerd than idiot. Idiot is a term for low IQ, but 찐따 have no relation with their intelligence. It is more like people with no friend. Nerd have a way simillar meaning.

Not that Run BTS Episode 😂 Its so funny. I can't with Vminkook that time. Its not good tho if you get too addicted on games. Your behaviour becomes too aggressive.
Jungkook & Faker on the thumbnail. Yep yep that's right, the best gamer, Faker & the golden maknae, Jungkook!
Yesss
Ah yes my favourite Talking Tom player
As a korean, I think this analysis is very accurate!
man what a video! starcraft brood war was my very first videogame. Now I play Starcraft 2, but tbh I didn't know about this korean obsession for this game. Yeah I know that many incredible sc2 players like Dark, Byun or Stats are from that country but the impact in the korean culture, I'm shocked.
My guy, I knew before hand that you couldn't waste the opportunity to sneak a loona snippet as always 😎😎
As a korean in germany it looks like I'm a pro when I'm playing with md friends but back in korea I am even below average
I love it. I really miss being surrounded by Asian culture and wow I really just fell in love with Korea after watching this video
Asian culture sounds too broad. Which country are you talking about?
@@loveaintfree1409 Northeast Asia
Awesome video! I Didn’t know any of this!
This channel deserves more views and subs for the content they give
한국인
are always good at everything
국뽕 심하네 ㅉㅉ
This video is amazing! I love playing games, specially League, and I've been a fan of korean players for so many years because they are so incredibly good!
Awesome video!!!Please do more videos like this...another fun fact even before the internet and computers Koreans dominated the arcade and console industry in the late 80s and 90s.
As a Korean myself and lover of puzzle games, not playing league of legends was a mistake. When my friends are talking about league of legends I'm just left out and can't understand one single word they are saying. I think this shows how much students spend their free time with games.
You dodged a huge bullet, touch grass and take care.
I dont care about LoL either so dont feel too bad about It hahah
I know it's a bit late, but i was always interested about the state of single player games in Korea. Are they even popular to at least some degree? Do koreans care about stuff like Elder Scrolls, Uncharted, Mass Effect etc or your countrymen are mostly online gamers?
8:27 Just for see my loved Choerry, I have to click like 👍.
Pdt: ok no, reeeeeally good video my friends!
My favourite story about south korean esports is the reason why there are no amazing players from south korea in csgo is because they cant be bothered to get steam to play it
why not?
@@Ozone946 in korea kkakao is basically korean steam
in korea,
I was using the internet at 100mbps in 1999.
2022, it used 10Gbps
As a Korean I mostly agree with this but I don't think Korean government support game industry😂Age under 18 are banned to play game after midnight till morning. And since Korea has really competitve culture..especially in educational system, there are many backlashes against to game industry from parents and it interrupts game industry to grows in Korea. Regardless of that game is major culture in Korea tho
I need the video from 8:27 of Choerry playing videogames!
its definitely from the isac event when they were playing pubg! hope that helped!
Now that China has limited video game playing to just 3 hours a week, Korea's eSports dominance will get even bigger.
China never dominated...they were just the best contenders out of all the other regions...they have to have at least 2 Korean players on every top LOL team and hired Korean coached for all the top teams just FYI
@@nexciteglobal1866 Truth....
@@nexciteglobal1866 Chinese teams dominated in South Asia in dota 2 and most of dota2 tournament have way high price pull then lol and im not talking about THE INTERNATIONAL it have 40 million prize.
@@sohailshaikh5417 Who watches DOTA xD They get sponsored by who? DHL, Tinder hahaha but League gets sponsored by Louis Vuitton, Mercedes, KIA etc
@@mheekkim2901 dota 2 have all the sponsors u mention not a single lol player in top 10 richest esports player if they win so called worlds they get only 74k dollars in dota 2 every player get 3.6 millions dollars stupid brain dead lol player go and check the facts.
I Asked this for a very good korean player and he answered me: Because we love play games
At the begining i thought: Everybody love play games, this answer is too simplistic.
But what drives human behaviour is emotions, they learn, they try harder, they play many many hours, they use their brain to play better because they love play games!
As a brazilian i can say this: the time that brazil where the most top on the soccer whas when we loved to play.
I grew up in brazil and almost everybody liked soccer and spend a lot and a lot and a lot time playing and training and improving, because we loved
I Believe there is a HUGE difference betwen:
1)i love cakes doing cakes is a hobby (in a scale of 40 to 100)
2)i love doing cakes o much that i will spend my whole f*cking life to do the best cakes ever (in a scale of 100 to 100)
If golf and poker are considered sports then yeah vid games can also be designated as sports.
I am an Indian and in India all parents thinks that gaming is waste of time and it's only for kids. And all the game lovers want that gaming should consider as a sport like South Korea.
Westerners: "Why are Koreans so good at games?"
Koreans: "Each game and every round will influence whether your parent's will live or die."
Mom go sky
quality contents. impressive.
Nobody
Absolutely nobody
Is that JYP 3:35
JYPEeee
Jay why pee?
thanks a lot 4 this vid !
I went to an E-Sports tournament in Seoul, The Yongsan E-Sports arena. That was like 10 years ago, and it was super popular. Not as much as it is now.
Korea: fastest internet connections in the world. PC 방 are great and so luxurious with huge HD monitors, big comfy chairs, snacks, food and drinks brought to you at your terminal.
but that kind of poses a which came first the chicken or the egg moment
I think the guy JYP jy park deserves his own video please.
Good analysis as always, Asian theory
So fun fact: a lot of pvp games are generally bad. A lot of FPS games and other famous games, they clap people
Fastest internet in the world helps a lot
정확하게.
exactly.
True korean has a best gamer in League of legends
Hi, I am Korean. You are so right. How do you know so well and details about more a?
Koreans ask a person who is not good at games where their parents graduated from and whether their parents are alive. That's why they work harder...😂
3:35 JYP OPPARR
not only koreans good at gaming so many people are good
is no one gonna talk about the way he laughs at 8:12 ? thats like the best laugh ive ever heard
What a funny coincidence. I created a cartoon superhero, adopted by a Korean family, who happens to be really good at video games. I wasn't actually aware of South Korea's hardcore gaming climate until now.
No toxic user is main reason, they insult my mom, that’s why we play harder
And gbay was trying to convince people it was because of Confucius.
Hi
Hello!
@@RiceSquad love your guy’s videos🤗
0:36 what website
Where is tekken's knee?
You know u're gonna loose a match when the guy have an asian name
Because the have a vibrant video game culture and also they practice 18 hours a day.
I can feel you were a Wiz*One. :D
bro has aimbot in his eyes
I'm not Asian but, I'm good at games
We just have lots of pc room
That basketball and America reference was bad. Maybe you meant baseball or american football? 😂
No
Game name
조사 열심히하셨네.. 인정 ㅋㅋ
1 dollar a hour while in the philipines 1 cents per 6minutes
I learned more stuff about a random countries and some of its history than school and I’ve been im 5 grade sk I learn more from TH-cam and random people and playing video games with that one person who knows everything to win and it’s all because of how the human brain is and teaches everyone on the lobby useful stuff
Like bruh I learn everting from games and TH-cam
Haha hahah ha my imagination go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr because of school ha hahaha ha
o__o no srsly
1:34
As a someone that is half Korean, I really want to learn the to speak it and possibly live there one day.
7:13 Funny, considering that creator of PUBG is not a korean at all
There's so many Koreans on Top 100 in Pubg Mobile
But on Pubg mobile lite it's full of Indians who are mostly hackers ;-;
Indians are also the biggest internet scam artists.
Manwas means🤔
Comics
The best way to look at it is look at sport. Korean baseball players are no where near their USA counterparts. Neither are they good in virtually any other physical sport.
They are just super suited to gaming. Like the Chinese are to table tennis. It just works for both their physical and mental state perfectly
the government is right for once about something thinking that gaming is poison, in most cases it is, gaming in Korea is completely different than gaming in USA because of skill and competitiveness
and they are right to knock gaming especially now with the woke era in games and all forms of media.
Hwarang. lol
lck!!! dudungdunga!!!
Korea institutionalized esports. Their own govt supports gaming and recognize it as a legit profession. That's why.
9:24 "Comics" even thou you show us Animation/Anime...wtf?
Thus anime is Most famous korean comics
they are just genetically superior its not related to anything.
Chinese no, japanese maybe ,korean yes
Not in Valorant or Cs Go.. Its Europe thats owns anyone
@@hyenalaughingmatter8103 yeah in games like Fortnite europeans specially germans own everyone
@@dimitrisgalazis Not Germany but USA I would say
Not much Koreans in Dota though Sadge
>Korean competitivesness
Because human beings are not competitive lol
Umm, what if you’re a Korean and blow at video games?
Never. Not once.
8:00 That’s B.S. American tournaments were already a thing. Some maybe, but to give all credit to StarCraft just isn’t valid.
😧

5:58 wow that sounds... awful
damn
아 국뽕
Arslan ash, the exception in tekken history defeated all skoreans and usa players. The desis from indian subcontinent are really underrated and would have been easily at the top in esports, if they have gotten the same high speed internet , cheap pc consoles, and basically the gaming culture. Arsalan ash came 1st and he is not even the best in his hometown where tekken's arcade machines are played.
no 10 st knee vs Arslan sah is knee win you should go to youtube
Lol, whatever you say. Your inferiority complex is so funny.
Tbh theyre only good at popular games in korea. In esports like csgo, dota, and valorant korean teams are average at best
Being Chinese and Japanese, Koreans were my worst enemies and pissed me off a lot when I play counter-strike source lol
Because they don't go homeless and all their women look the same so it's easy to ignore they girlfriend
대체 뭐라는거야

Gaming is still disproportionally consumed by men in their 10s and 20s, maybe 30s and Korean females don't care/don't know much, just like anywhere else; average Korean girls just don't know much about the gaming scene. The school-age girls may know Faker as the most famous gamer of their generation (for those in their late 20s and 30s, SlayerS_`BoxeR), but that's about it; they don't care/unaware about his accomplishments. Females that follow the gaming scene are probably less than 10% of the entire Korean gamer population. What I'm saying is, yes, BTS may see Faker as their own "idol" because they are like any other young boys when it comes to gaming, but girls don't care.
Things changed a long time ago. Korean girls and women are big fans of online games. Many women game streamers play games at a high level, with many fans watching their play, and you can easily see the school girls playing games in PC bang in Korea.
They suck at cs go and dota 2 though XD
Because unlike in the west GAMERS aren’t an oppressed minority
I found a lot of korean name on D2, they are nothing special, some of them even terrible
Destiny 2
Granted casual Korean gamers exist. Not like the whole country put video games as priority number 1. Still in competitive plays Korean pros are on top in most games.
im like the dumbest laziest korean
Idk but it’s cringe tbh. Video games are supposed to be fun. Esports suck the fun out of it.
True true but lets not forget the true game developers and thats is Japan 🇯🇵
Why are koreans so good at video games?
Me HEY GUYS ITS PROGAMER1234 TODAY WE WILL BE PLAYING FORTNITE ALSO I AM A VERY GOOD PRO WHOS VERY GOOD AT VIDEO GAMES NOW LETS PLAY FORTNITE
But Koreans are noob in Dota 2😂the most complex game of all time
한국이 e스포츠 강국이지만 역설적이게도 게임에 대한 규제가 심한나라. 좁아터진 땅에서 학생들이 각종 액티비티나 다른 취미를 갖기 힘들고 대신 빠른 인터넷선으로 게임을 취미로 갖게 되었지만 학부모들은 그게 마음에 안들고 정치인들은 학부모들의 표가 필요하기 때문에 포퓰리즘으로 인한 셧다운제같은 이상한 법안이 도입되는 지경. 한국의 의사들과 교수들은 게임의 중독성과 유해함을 증명하는 연구가 돈이 됨.
They are sick, kpop, videogames, and all the weirdest and useless things come from there...
