@@ajtam05 I've been to NY twice and the first time I went there, i was like "Oh, look at these doll houses! Can people actually live and fit in such a small space?!"😂
Yea, I don't understand why people say that as a negative. Media is one of the main ways people get interested in another culture. I wanted to go to France because of art, movies and novels about France. I went to NY for similar reasons.
@@ikmalhafiz2865 understood, but as I stated, there are contradictions with this safety issue and Covid-19. But yes, safety is one reason for some to wear the mask.
A friendly reminder to everyone: you can like kpop, kdramas and still be self-conscious about the korean society, don't be ashamed if your dream is to be there. This also applies to japan. Let people experience on their own, why do you have to bash someone from their interests, you are not his/her parent.
Because they don’t like the country they like a fantasy. This is even more applicable to anime and Japan though. It’s incredibly immature and irresponsible for adults of any age to be immigrating to live out a fantasy. It’s definitely deserves to be frowned upon when those adults put on an expectation for others to behave like people they see in media.
@@chris1z142 Meh not really. Yeah the media introduced me to Korea but afterwards I was enthralled by the culinary world there. That of course led me to learn more about the culture and economy, etc. In the end I speak for myself but I won't let myself get bashed when I became knowledgeable about a country I'm studying in. It's good that they get a reality check when they come here but that's more than enough. It's sad that you or anyone would go out of their way to shun someone rather than educate.
Depicting Korea to just K-pop and K dramas is like depicting America to Hollywood. Some places are good, some places are average and some places are bad. Don't have too much expectation before you go to Korea :)
I totally agree! FYI, I'd likd to recommend international students make some native Korean friends who know something about good restaurant and landmarks!! Actually, my GF is a international student so I know where her friends go around buuut.... most of them sucks!! Most of the places they go are just for tourists :(
@@karankapoor2701 I think thats a good idea! A lot of Indians students study here and Koreans have quite good image about Indians! When I was in graduate school, Indians were incredibly smart and worked hard! But to tell ya truth, Koreans doesnt like Indian style music that much. I tell you this because you wanna come and study here so it may be helpful getting used to Korea. Good luck!
@@권기훈-f3d I'm just thinking of studying abroad , south Korea is still pretty expensive but an awesome place to be , ig Indian's being smart is a good Stereotype to have but just like that girl said we don't have peace of mind In indian education system that's whyy most people in here wanna leave India , Indian music sucks so does bollywood 😂we all know that , I'm currently doing my UG rn but I wish I can study in Korea
Gotta agree, spent a year in Seoul before the whole K-pop/ K-Drama came to flourish in the world. Korea had some amazing places to visit, but still had a lot of slums outside of the Foreigner areas.
It is so funny how every other country students are like Koreans study all the time and the one Indian girl is like everything here is so friendly and it is easy to get good grade. I can totally relate to her 😂😂😂
The girl with black long hair and blue shirt breaks my heart when she said that international students often neglect their mental health because they can't afford it. Their respective schools need to address this.
@@la381 American colleges have free counciling centers. They can meet with a licensed mental health therapist or social workers. I don't agree with no accessibility to help, but I agree Americans also ignore mental health.
same, the other girl in this video said that Koreans won’t approach you because they’re shy... Well, i’m even more shy T.T Well, i’m already lonely in The Netherlands... I better be lonely in South Korea 😂
I really appreciate how these interviews were not focused on Americans unlike a lot of the recent videos. There is more to the world than America and I really like hearing the subtleties (or lack thereof) in the accents and how their backgrounds creep into the way they express themselves.
@@daniellem8783 I didn't mean that, what I meant was his English accent which is spoken all over the England not exclusively depending on each region. British man was the only with original accent so that's why I wrote true in my last comment.
I feel like it's easy for Indian students to deal with the stress of education in there since back in our country 11th and 12th grades are really hectic
Only science students are stressed and that too till 12 standard. For arts and commerce students it's not that stressful. Once you enter degree college it's more or less relaxed
@Niso Stannard There are international students but not many enough. I think the Indian government needs to attract international students especially from Africa by providing scholarship programme as well as work visa while studying to.
@@shngain100 actually i was an arts student but was coaching for design colleges at the same time and i have to say it was just as hectic as science and jee exams (my brother mentioned this lol) so no not every arts student or commerce student has it easy especially if you're working towards going to professional degree programs
I want to listen more of the Indian girl. She's well spoken. Generally Koreans favour fair skin like most of the Indians so I want to know if she faces any discrimination or prejudice cause of her darker skin. What kind of culture shocks she experienced there?
Not only Korea, but also China, Japan, Philiphines and other asian countries prefer white and fair skin. So probably any kind of discrimination and prejudice exist everywhere, but still we should not value the person of their skin color.
Hi. I'm Korean. I'm sure you don't need to worry about your skin color when you travel to Korea. If you have any question about Korea, please tell me. I can tell you.
this is not totally about color grooming styles too Compare her with African American definitely latter present themselves more in modern and better way. I am not talking about clothes but way of grooming and presenting yourselves. If u are living in this modern era , then definitely u should spend only 15 min for yourself in a day . I think it's not all about indians but from specific states in India. Make yourself simply and clean groomed , build up little bit confidence definitely u would face least to least racism 😊😊
@@ponghyunkin6875 I have lived in Korea for over 5 years now and skin color can definitely be an issue sometimes. Korean usually prefer white people or generally people with lighter skin.
As a fellow Englishman, I wasn't quite prepared for the BBC accent in this video myself. He excels at speaking, and with clarity. Just looks like the type you'd find at a local library.
As an international masters student in Korea, I can attest to so many parts of the interview. About loneliness and homesickness, the disappointment of not being able to have to have the full experience of school and travel, the pressure of having to prove your worth when the language makes everything so much harder for us. Also I'm surprised they said the teachers were more approachable here compared to their home country. Think the hierarchical culture in Korea is important everywhere, more so in an academic context. And don't get me started with the mental health part... I just wanna say a lil' 힘내세요 & 화이팅! to all International students around the world ❤ Youre not alone
@@sanaag4702 but it depends on your major and your school. Some courses like international studies, your classes are fully in English, and some schools offer English modules. Although I have heard those English courses end up being in Korean...
Same >< I am also doing an MA in political science here and it has been so disappointing honestly. I really just want to graduate and move on - this has been nothing like I hoped 😔

@@neptunite5973 Lol Indian English is much better than many many countries because the use correct crammer and good Indian accent. Indian English is Uk- 70 % US 20 % Indian 10 %

@@leckerbambi1019 Bist du ein Schwein? Learn Koreanisch bitte... Du kann nicht im Süd Korea leben und der ganzen tag Englisch mit Koreaner sprechen.. Das ist respektlos :/ Und viele Koreanische Menschen können kein oder nicht gut Englisch sprechen... So basically just learn Korean if you want to study/live there..
thats because in india the education system is very harsh and like people have to work their ass off just to get good marks ,starting from middle school till you get a permanent job its literally very hard for them and that the good point also cause they have already taught u in some way to handle these things ..u see how the girl spoke very differently thats bcz we have been guided this way ..we have endured lots of hardships in every phase ,so if now we go to a different country it wont be hard for us
Everything that the Indian girl says is so true as an Indian myself who studied in S. Korea. It’s so relaxed for us. I see my Korean classmates studying and like almost living in the library but they failed or score very less compared to us.
We are trained a certain way since we are kids..and honestly in India it doesn't seems like a big deal.. the education system is cope-able.. but once you try out the systems in other countries, we get to know how hard it was for us.. but I think the Indian education system needs to be changed as the syllabus is useless and you do not learn something that is actually required but all those useless, non-sense stuff which is already available on google and no one in the office or work place are going to ask those.. it needs to be more focused on skill based learning rather than the traditional rote learning programs..
The Asian lady at 3:05 is spot on about what it's like to be an Asian foreigner in a more developed Asian country. The locals judge you harsher, because you look kind of like a local but have more difficulty conforming with the culture, your own country might be stereotyped as "poor" hence people look down on you, plus you don't have the white privilege to be considered "beautiful" and get away with occasionally being clueless.
In a short term i think it's definitely easier to be white than asian (Korea & Japan etc). But on a long-term, looking like a local have it benefits. I feel like white people would always be considered an "outsider" etc whereas asians can fit in more easily. However, i think this mostly apply to asians who were born and raised in western countries bc they mostly have academic degrees whereas asians coming from native countries mostly come to seek manual jobs and stay poor etc..
@@Marko50000 Asian foreigners are also considered as outsiders. Idk if you are asian or not but when I came to Korea as a Japanese, it was not easy because people didn’t really trust me. Some Koreans were uncomfortable when I said that I was Japanese. Of course in the street, you not gonna have weird look on you because they will assume that you are local, but when you start to speak, they definitely won’t see you as one of them. Of course it’s the same in Japan so it’s pretty cheeky of saying that Koreans only value others Koreans... And for my white friend, it was not different of me. I felt like we both were treated the same, she just receive more compliment for her exotic look of course, but in work area we both were treated as total outsider, which is understandable too.
I totally disagree with you. The stupid term white privilege is more for Americans in America, in China and in Taiwan you do not have white privilege if you get out of line, they’ll check you quick. Stop spreading the bogus rumor that Asians worship white people they do not
I am currently preparing to study in South Korea next year at Korea University. This video really helped me get a better idea of how to prepare and what to expect and it definitely did not disappoint. Thank you again Asian Boss for providing a wonderful variety of information and insight from the country.
Hi! How are you preparing? Are going there to study for masters or Korean language? I’m thinking of going to next year but can’t decide yet if I’ll go straight to masters. Thanks
I study in Canada. the mathematics here is the same level as 10th in India lol. I also have looked at the Gaokao exam from china. It's also very easy because they also have literature. JEE advance is the hardest I have ever seen yet.
We've enjoyed Korea everytime we visit the country. A lovely country with polite hard working people. Highly recommend visiting at least once in your life
The average Indian students struggle to get an admission in Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) which ranks 113 or something like that but the same people get admitted in the top universities like Cambridge, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard and University of Toronto etc... 😅
That just tells you those rankings are dumb. They look at stuff like endowment and research funding which Indian univs will be low at but in terms of just competition to get in and academic quality IITs must be top 5 in world
@@ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh123 Yeah, in terms of campus, labs, equipment and professor's IIT's lack from Cambridge, Oxford but when it comes to students IIT's have the most intelligent students and are generating some good student's.
My sister got admitted in Stanford I was jungshooked that how the heck she didn't got an admission in IIT and there are only 5 Indians she said and she sends me picture of her building and it's Hella beautiful but yeah how the hell she didn't got admitted in IIT 😂
Yo this video was interesting not just because what it showed about Korea but also about different countries. The difference between what the French person's answer focused on and the Indian person's answer focused on was fascinating haha. Amazing work Asian Boss!
I had the privilege of studying Korean at Yonsei last year. I had limited knowledge on Korean culture and I didn’t really listen to k-pop or watch Korean dramas so I was pretty lost when I first got there. But let me tell you, I left loving everything about the culture. But what really made it an amazing experience was the people I met along the way. Oh and the food is so so good. It really is a cool place to study abroad so if you get the chance, go for it! Edit: Oh also, I never had anyone treat me differently because I was a student. If anything my interactions with others were pretty positive after (and before) they found out that I was there to study.
What a good experience you had in Korea! Hope you may continue to carry that positive perspective and attachment to Korea and find a chance to be back.
As a Korean, I totally agree with what British guy said. South Korea is a country with very good security, but also still in a ceasefire. Democratic enough to peacefully impeach president, but at the same time, conscripting all adult men with providing harsh barracks life. I think these opposing things were results of something until now, but they could be the causes in the future.
Not really it's juts because she is an international students studying in a department which has a lot more foreigners plus the courses are in english..it really depends on the dept and university
I think for Indians it's kidda easy to deal with the education system than other countries becoz both counties have almost same pattern of education and maybe a little easy as the Indian girl said that professors are bit friendly. In India they are very strict for their status.
but explain me why are Indian professors are full of egoes that's why sometimes , students don't interact them fully even for some kind of project or research work The mentality of suppressing and egos must be removed in Indian standards . It's not just college thing but happens everywhere in India. That's why some people are making fool to innocent people in country This kind of standards are killing our society 😨😨
I think more aged professors are like this "status thing" and its all depends on universities and colleges ..my professors are quite young they're very friendly and helpful
This was one of the most interesting interviews I've seen on Asian Boss in a while. The variety of different perspectives is very informative, although I am almost 50 years of age and won't start studying in Korea or any other country for that matter, I think going through from elemenary school through university in Germany where I was born and raised was a lot easier than going the same route Korea, India or Japan.
The girl in the green shirt totally described what I'm going through. I am a student at Yonsei University but due to covid, I wasn't able to obtain a visa. Every day I wake up at 2 and 3AM for classes, exams, presentations etc.. It's extremely hard to do that and keep up..
I really liked the girl from Guatemala. All the interviewees were nice, but she captured my attention the most. I think I resonated the most with her answers.
I‘am a German student and I am also about to make a semester abroad in South Korea in 2024. I love the culture, people, the mannerism of the people. I hope I can achieve my dream🙏🏼
Asian boss is the REALEST youtube channel that i look upto for the direct views and opinions regarding the latest issues and challenges faced by the youth in particular globally.
Wow! I really enjoyed this, especially as a college student. George is very eloquent, I liked how he described South Korea with all of its different aspects. Also that French guy, his expectations were wrong about it being old, he found a clean, modern country :)
I'm entertained with all the observations of the British guy wearing maroon sweater (aside from getting a resemblance of Loki to him LOL). He's introvert according to him. I just can't imagine how much more expressive would he be if he is not. :)
Introversion has nothing to do with limited abilities for eloquence and everything to do with the drain on the speaker. George, unlike extroverts, has to exert himself much more to express himself and as such he will need more time to recuperate. That said, introverts, when they do speak, often have deep and profound insights. You will find some of the best orators are introverts.
@@martinswitzer6534 right, misleading, thank you, I will edit! I won't continue discussing it, just know that it is a misleading definition as not seeking attention and preferring spending time on one's one rather than with many people is not the same as being shy. Many introverts will confirm. Good luck!
I really like the thoughtful introspection of the English student. He has such a refreshing and positive outlook I don't doubt he will maximize his experience studying in Korea.

As an international student, loneliness does give the biggest impact to us. I hope their school/uni provides free counselling. Students shouldn’t pay tons for their mental health “)
Korea is an awesome place and the people are incredible. I couldn’t imagine going to school there neither could I imagine living there, but a long term stay would be enjoyable. It would be nice to hear a Koreans perspective about studying in the United States, the difference in culture and attitude towards universities would make for very interesting conversation.
America is a country where racial discrimination always occurs Currently, a country that targets only Asians and causes hate crimes. I think it’s a very savage and ignorant multiracial country. Americans need to strengthen their racial education.
Why did you guys not let us hear where every student was from? Suddenly you cut to a new person with no context on where they from and what they study. I'm sure most dont mind a longer video.
yeah... they didnt include the part where I say my name and where I am from so I thought id been cut but I was still in the video without introduction :(
I’m so grateful I got to study there before all this madness 😭 It was such a life changing experience, I hope more students get to have their own and the pandemic subsides soon 😭😭😭
About the "harsh" korean education system, it's only up until highschool. In korean culture, the adults want their children to attend excellent universities (for both the child's future and for their public image). And since everyone thinks the same way, the competition for uni entry exams is harsh and demanding. That's why people push the children to study as hard as possible in highschool, and when they finally enter the uni, it's party-time basically. That's why international uni (and higher) students dont really see the harsh education system (which is the cause of high suicide rates amongst students)
When they talk about how crazy/strict the Korean education system is, they're talking about preschool to high school; it's all about getting into a good college, not working hard while attending one.
The English guy was well spoken, passionate and very articulate. Gems like him are hard to come by nowadays. I feel like all the comments mocking him might just be envious.
The number of people looking down on those who have found interest in Korea because of K-drama and kpop is disgusting honestly. Yea, I like BTS and yeah I enjoy watching K-dramas, but thanks to them I've become more interested in Korea, its culture, food, language, history and people. I watch K-News and variety shows. I know S.Korea's not perfect that's why even when I decide to live in Korea it won't be long-term because I'm familiar with the work culture, the beauty standards etc. I could not handle the stress of living there but I know it'll still be a valuable experience if I do. It's so annoying being looked down upon just because of that, I'm genuinely disappointed in people.
The thing is that Kpop / Kdrama fans don't actually love the country for the "food and the culture/history" as they keep telling themselves - because that directly contradicts their own personal values. As you said yourself, you know that Korea is not perfect and you wouldn't handle living here long term, that's why you and other "K-wave" fans actually don't like Korea for being Korea, you like a romanticized image of Korea. In the average Korean language class at a Korean university, the majority of girls there are Kpop/kdrama fans, and had you taken them on a "cultural" tour of the country rather than talking about Korean entertainment, they'd be bored to death. I've seen it happen multiple times, none of these people love the country for the sake of loving the country.
@@lmaoitsover Your bias is showing immensely. "As they keep telling themselves", " A romanticized version of Korea". Thanks for the generalisation 🤩 Yea, I'll decide to invest time and money into learning Korean to talk about kpop and kdramas in class 🤢🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ But the thing is even if teachers use these methods to teach the language - why does it matter? Learning about a new culture and language should be encouraged instead of looked down upon because it doesn't align with your standards of being interested in a different country! I'm not denying the few that fetishise the country and it's people but it bothers me how all K-wave fans are looked at with this one lens.
@@rozhin6055 i literally brought up statistics referring to the avg korean lang class (you can look this up easily), and you're saying im generalizing. Please edit your comment you seem braindead. Second of all, its not that it doesnt align with my standards. Its that it doesnt align with the standards of reality. Why do you think the majority of k wave fans cant handle long term living in this country? Its cause they love the image korea exports to them, not the image korea actually is. Had they actually loved the country they'd sit there and listen to cultural classes rather than talking which oppa is more handsome. Do you watch an episode of Friends and think thats what the US is ??
@@lmaoitsover Short-term because I like the history, language, food and nature. As a young adult living I'd like to take advantage of that. I will not stay long-term because as a woman I do not enjoy the gender pay gap or as a human the stressful work culture, the ridiculous beauty standards, the racism towards POC or just how judgmental people can be regarding everything. You calling me "brain-dead" will not make your argument stronger and please link your sources here although I doubt they are unbiased. And yes there are many of us who enjoy learning about Korean history and culture instead of talking about kpop or our "oppas" 🤢 try being open-minded and opening your eyes instead of sourcing one article who agrees with your "opinion".
@@lmaoitsover If someone likes Friends and comes to the U.S. to learn English here so they can be an actor, what does it matter? You're definitely making a generalization about people's motivation.
Hoping for more of these videos. I am saving up in hopes of studying abroad somewhere in Asia, not sure where yet. Korea is looking like a great option.

Not only Korea, but also China, Japan, Philiphines and other asian countries prefer white and fair skin. So probably any kind of discrimination and prejudice exist everywhere, but still we should not value the person of their skin color.

As an international masters student in Korea, I can attest to so many parts of the interview. About loneliness and homesickness, the disappointment of not being able to have to have the full experience of school and travel, the pressure of having to prove your worth when the language makes everything so much harder for us. Also I'm surprised they said the teachers were more approachable here compared to their home country. Think the hierarchical culture in Korea is important everywhere, more so in an academic context.

We are trained a certain way since we are kids..and honestly in India it doesn't seems like a big deal.. the education system is cope-able.. but once you try out the systems in other countries, we get to know how hard it was for us.. but I think the Indian education system needs to be changed as the syllabus is useless and you do not learn something that is actually required but all those useless, non-sense stuff which is already available on google and no one in the office or work place are going to ask those.. it needs to be more focused on skill based learning rather than the traditional rote learning programs..

The Asian lady at 3:05 is spot on about what it's like to be an Asian foreigner in a more developed Asian country. The locals judge you harsher, because you look kind of like a local but have more difficulty conforming with the culture, your own country might be stereotyped as "poor" hence people look down on you, plus you don't have the white privilege to be considered "beautiful" and get away with occasionally being clueless.
In a short term i think it's definitely easier to be white than asian (Korea & Japan etc). But on a long-term, looking like a local have it benefits. I feel like white people would always be considered an "outsider" etc whereas asians can fit in more easily. However, i think this mostly apply to asians who were born and raised in western countries bc they mostly have academic degrees whereas asians coming from native countries mostly come to seek manual jobs and stay poor etc..
@@Marko50000 Asian foreigners are also considered as outsiders. Idk if you are asian or not but when I came to Korea as a Japanese, it was not easy because people didn’t really trust me. Some Koreans were uncomfortable when I said that I was Japanese. Of course in the street, you not gonna have weird look on you because they will assume that you are local, but when you start to speak, they definitely won’t see you as one of them. Of course it’s the same in Japan so it’s pretty cheeky of saying that Koreans only value others Koreans...
And for my white friend, it was not different of me. I felt like we both were treated the same, she just receive more compliment for her exotic look of course, but in work area we both were treated as total outsider, which is understandable too.

I had the privilege of studying Korean at Yonsei last year. I had limited knowledge on Korean culture and I didn’t really listen to k-pop or watch Korean dramas so I was pretty lost when I first got there.

It really is a cool place to study abroad so if you get the chance, go for it!
Edit: Oh also, I never had anyone treat me differently because I was a student. If anything my interactions with others were pretty positive after (and before) they found out that I was there to study.
What a good experience you had in Korea!
Hope you may continue to carry that positive perspective and attachment to Korea and find a chance to be back.

Introversion has nothing to do with limited abilities for eloquence and everything to do with the drain on the speaker.

That said, introverts, when they do speak, often have deep and profound insights. You will find some of the best orators are introverts.

About the "harsh" korean education system, it's only up until highschool. In korean culture, the adults want their children to attend excellent universities (for both the child's future and for their public image). And since everyone thinks the same way, the competition for uni entry exams is harsh and demanding. That's why people push the children to study as hard as possible in highschool, and when they finally enter the uni, it's party-time basically.
That's why international uni (and higher) students dont really see the harsh education system (which is the cause of high suicide rates amongst students)
Yeah India is more harsh than Korea in my opinion
When they talk about how crazy/strict the Korean education system is, they're talking about preschool to high school; it's all about getting into a good college, not working hard while attending one.

The number of people looking down on those who have found interest in Korea because of K-drama and kpop is disgusting honestly. Yea, I like BTS and yeah I enjoy watching K-dramas, but thanks to them I've become more interested in Korea, its culture, food, language, history and people. I watch K-News and variety shows. I know S.Korea's not perfect that's why even when I decide to live in Korea it won't be long-term because I'm familiar with the work culture, the beauty standards etc. I could not handle the stress of living there but I know it'll still be a valuable experience if I do. It's so annoying being looked down upon just because of that, I'm genuinely disappointed in people.
The thing is that Kpop / Kdrama fans don't actually love the country for the "food and the culture/history" as they keep telling themselves - because that directly contradicts their own personal values. As you said yourself, you know that Korea is not perfect and you wouldn't handle living here long term, that's why you and other "K-wave" fans actually don't like Korea for being Korea, you like a romanticized image of Korea. In the average Korean language class at a Korean university, the majority of girls there are Kpop/kdrama fans, and had you taken them on a "cultural" tour of the country rather than talking about Korean entertainment, they'd be bored to death. I've seen it happen multiple times, none of these people love the country for the sake of loving the country.

Learning about a new culture and language should be encouraged instead of looked down upon because it doesn't align with your standards of being interested in a different country! I'm not denying the few that fetishise the country and it's people but it bothers me how all K-wave fans are looked at with this one lens.

Why do you think the majority of k wave fans cant handle long term living in this country? Its cause they love the image korea exports to them, not the image korea actually is. Had they actually loved the country they'd sit there and listen to cultural classes rather than talking which oppa is more handsome. Do you watch an episode of Friends and think thats what the US is ??
@@lmaoitsover Short-term because I like the history, language, food and nature. As a young adult living I'd like to take advantage of that. I will not stay long-term because as a woman I do not enjoy the gender pay gap or as a human the stressful work culture, the ridiculous beauty standards, the racism towards POC or just how judgmental people can be regarding everything. You calling me "brain-dead" will not make your argument stronger and please link your sources here although I doubt they are unbiased. And yes there are many of us who enjoy learning about Korean history and culture instead of talking about kpop or our "oppas" 🤢 try being open-minded and opening your eyes instead of sourcing one article who agrees with your "opinion".
@@lmaoitsover If someone likes Friends and comes to the U.S. to learn English here so they can be an actor, what does it matter?
You're definitely making a generalization about people's motivation.
Korea is not only about K-Pop and K-drama there's a lot more besides it...
Yeah we get it
Exactly!?
So happy to see a Jordanian among the students!!
Same , even tho I’m Iraqi 💀
@@toqa6735 we are one hehe
Hey she said Turkey !!! Merhabaa 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Ohh! Joko Pie is here. Good to see you
I really like the British guy... He's a deep thinker
Hoping for more of these videos. I am saving up in hopes of studying abroad somewhere in Asia, not sure where yet. Korea is looking like a great option.
15:20 He's giving great life advice.
Actually all throughout the interview, I don't get why people give this guy a hard time in the comments just because of how he speaks. I think it's great and it's the content of the words that matter either way
If the British guy was a weather man, every weather would "sound" amazing.
When the French guy talked about our vacations 😭😭 Back in undergraduate I had 3 days of class, 4 of week-ends, vacations every two months and summer holidays from early May to September… In Korea because of the two months between each semester, it feel like two separate years lol
