I am the only American in the Apartment Complex and have lived here for years. I have always been treated nicely and have no complaints about my life in The Republic Of Korea,
@@Mindswamp Same here. Only American in my apartment as well. If I don't take the subway and take the bus only, I think there are days that can go by without seeing a non-Korean. I feel more unease in my own native country than I do here. I've always been treated respectfully as I make an extra effort to speak the local language and learn the customs.
Koreans know that without America, they would not exist and that their country would either be a part of Japan or a part of China today, so there is this sense of understanding how without Americans they would not have what they have.
@@xuser9980 You deserve to be respected in Korea. In fact, you deserve to be respected in any country because, as you mentioned, you make an effort to respect the local language and customs! However, many English speakers often ask their first question in English and don't even consider learning very simple and basic Korean phrases. They don't prepare at all from the start. If someone is American and feel like you're not being treated well in Korea, it's likely because you haven't made an effort to respect Korean culture.
Hi I’m Seylove the guy from Japan! 🇯🇵 Thank you for the interesting and fun interview! It was really nice to talk about how it is to live in Korea and also to know how others think! I hope the video can reach so many people and be helpful 😊🙌🏽
19:34 "dont bring your culture with you and expect people to accept it" that was the best line. i see a lot of people that try that and and get mad when people dont accept it
That's easy to say, and it sounds great in theory. Actually in most cases I would agree. But what about when some part of the local culture is legitimately bad or degrading? Like being expected to work a crazy number of hours? Or the notion that you have to be deferential to someone older than you, even if they are being disrespectful to you or saying something that's clearly untrue? Or being expected to look the other way and say nothing if you see a father hitting his child, because "that's his right" as a father? (I know this is less common in Korea these days, but it's still extremely common in many Asian countries). When you think about specific actions, not just general theories, it's not always so clear-cut.
@@rg_888 If you don't agree, then don't go. It's not as if you don't have a choice. What's worse is thinking you have the right to change other cultures , because you believe you are morally superior.
@@Cxs1a3 It's very revealing that you didn't address a single SPECIFIC point I mentioned. As I already said, it's easy to speak in vague generalities. Looking at real, specific situations is more complicated.
lt really doesn't matter what you say or what they do that's right or wrong, there is the concept of national sovereignity. Every country has the right to set their own rules for their own, they're not setting rules for you, it's for their own and only their own. If it's so bad, then that's for them to fix amongst themselves , as a foreigner you don't and shouldn't have the right to interfere with other people's affairs.
Great interviews with all the different backgrounds of people. This definitely shows how everyone experience in Korea is different. I feel like after listening to all the different people reasons and experience in Korea definitely can give you a better knowledge about the country if you plan to visit or live there in the near future. 😊❤
1:35 - I am SO glad that this lady brought this topic up. All you see nowadays on social media are people talking really bad about Koreans saying they're rude and what not, always gets compared against Japan, etc.. and these negative, poor stereotypes gets amplified unnecessarily and gets generalized.. and they're at the end of the day, view baiting because Korea is a hot topic many people search and explore now.. as an American, living in Korea, I couldn't stand seeing these posts because it's just not true.. majority of Koreans are super sweet and nice to all.. yes, there can be outliers but they exist everywhere not just in Korea.. I've visited Japan, Spain, France, and Malaysia.. I've experience odd people but do I judge them or generalize the whole country? No. So the next time you see clips of these people, take it with a grain of salt and keep an open mind. That is all.
I know its subjective but you cant deny that there has a lot of racism got normalized and developed a lot of discrimination towards sea, South America and in this video there has no ppl who are a representative of this race so you cant tell the ppl to shut their mounth when there still has a lot of ppl live in south korea and got discrimination and then there has white girl form random video tell them “korea is not racist’
@@wachi5433 There is not a lot of racism. Racism does get talked about quite a lot, but it is really just focused on a few cases. A viral video does not make a country racist.
@@wachi5433 Yeah? Gives us an actual stat of this "discriminations". Are you telling me some random videos with obvious agenda tell everything about the whole country?
A rhetorical question to the lawyer from Algeria, is there any country in the world where the law is not favorable towards its own citizens vs foreign visitors? Also it's interesting how she claims that the "law" favors men over women? In all honesty this was very true in the past, but not so much anymore. As a Korean-American who travels to Korea often to visit family and for business I've noticed that women enjoy a very high degree of legal protections, almost on par with advanced Western nations.
@@Skkj0802 The law HEAVILY FAVORS women in court. And I mean HEAVILY. Idk where that came from, but it's gotten so worse to the point where there is now a saying in korea "A woman's tears are enough evidence to put a man in prison for a lifetime"
These interviews are fantastic! As someone who was born in Seoul and immigrated to the US as a child and have a shallow understanding of my own culture, I find your interviews and topics educational and fascinating. Cheers!
I would kindly suggest that your culture is American. I've always found it interesting that the US accepts anyone and from day 1 of citizenship. They are American. While no matter how long I live in China, Vietnam, India etc I will never be thought of as of those countries.
I want to give advice to foreigners as Koreans.. I want to learn the culture and language of the country other than Korea and tell them to approach the locals first.... I have been to many places abroad, but the locals did not approach me first. But I don't know why I want Koreans to approach me first when I come to Korea... If you respect Korea and try to learn the language, Koreans will be happy to be friends with you... Sometimes when I see a foreigner who complains in Korea, I don't know why they came to Korea without even trying to learn about Korea... Why do they think Koreans should be tailored to them when they don't do anything... I saw a lot of foreigners who were too rude.
@@sara.cbc92 If they came to Korea, there was something that brought them there. The least they can do is be respectful. Koreans do not need to deal with your bad attitude, especially when you are a guest in the country. That is just basic manners, which some people apparently lack. It is not Korea's job to give you whatever you want.
Article 32 of the Korean Constitution states, “Women’s labor is under special protection, and they shall not be subjected to unjust discrimination in employment, wages, and working conditions,” while Article 34 states, “The state shall endeavor to promote the welfare and rights of women.” Women’s rights are specifically managed by the Constitution, and as far as I know, there aren’t many countries like this. In South Korea, rape victims are limited to women under criminal law. There are no separate laws protecting men who are raped. And it has been deemed constitutional that only men are required to serve compulsory military service. In the Korean legal system, if a woman identifies a specific man as a sex offender, an investigation begins immediately based on the woman’s report and testimony. The former president (President Moon) ordered that once an investigation into a sex crime perpetrator begins, the perpetrator’s workplace or affiliated institution must be immediately notified, ensuring that the perpetrator suffers more than just the consequences of the crime. Notifying the workplace or affiliated institution at the investigation stage, when the individual is merely a suspect and not yet proven guilty, clearly violates the principle of presumption of innocence. There are many aspects of this country’s judicial system that can be seen as discriminating against men. What do you think?
Korean culture and Islamic culture are very different. In Korea, atheists are the majority of the population, and most Koreans distance themselves from people who are too deeply involved in religion. It is a thoroughly secular country, and each religion respects other religions, so there are no major conflicts caused by religion. And even when people of different religions meet, they all live according to basic Korean etiquette and customs, so there is no difference in behavior due to religion. Even if you believe in Buddhism, everyone eats meat. And there are many cases where the mother goes to a temple and the daughter goes to church. Therefore, people who prioritize the laws of their religion while ignoring Korean etiquette and customs do not fit in well with Korean society. And there are many Koreans who are worried that certain religions will cause social problems.
So, there's a factual error.. athiests are not the majority of the Korean population.. it's actually Christianity and Buddhism.. where'd you get that wrong intel?
I agree, if you strongly adhere to religious law... you probably get a trouble. If you don't eat pork or some food for religious reasons during dinner with them, some koreans will soon feel distant from you. deep religious beliefs make them feel uncomfortable. this is because social rules are considered more important than religious rules.
Well said. Doesn't take rocket science to get that! Many foreigners come to Korea or other countries like Japan.. and have this mentality of the country changing for them, when they should be changing to fit the country..
Lived in Korea nearly 7 years and "rude" is not the word I'd use to describe Koreans. Self-absorbed and perhaps oblivious to the world outside their tiny peninsula, but not rude at all. In my experience living in 4 separate cities (Seoul, Daejeon, Chuncheon and Daegu), Koreans tended to be quite nice, kind and genuinely good-hearted people. I'm surprised that people think that they are rude. Be respectful, learn some of the language and obey the rules--you'll be fine. Just don't overstay your welcome. Know when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, and when to get up and walk away. :)
Well, that's how it's supposed to work, if you go to their country, they're the main character, you're just a side character. Too many foreigners, especially from rich countries, go into Korea with main character syndrome expecting the whole country to cater to them.
@Cxs1a3 but when Koreans come to America, they expect human treatment. There is a Korean who was raised in Africa and returned to Korea and witnessed Africans weren't allowed in a club.
@@AN-Thecouragetolookforward Try going to an American club as a stereotypical looking korean guy and see if you get "human treatment" from girIs, but also other guys.
There’s snobby rude people in every country! There’s friendly people in every country. It’s just mostly fear of approaching because of language barrier etc.. maybe accept people’s culture rather than labelling them as rude. Just assimilate and have a positive mindset. Negative brings negative ❤
The tall Australian girl is so spot on with her views and analysis.. right attitude.. that's the kind of mindset that'll be successful in Korea but any other country foreigners are going to to live..
Korea is super welcoming and everything, people are kind and living there is super comfortable especially if you speak decent Korean, unfortunately it is super hard to get a job as a foreigner, unless you want to teach English to kids. For studying or travelling, definitely go for it, amazing country!
Welcoming if you are white or white passing yes. Ask any Southeast Asian how welcomed they feel here. Even the Southeast Asian-American/Australian ones.
@@hellodddd33134 This a hard thing to talk about, because I know Southeast Asian people who live in Korea and some of them get looked down upon, some are very welcomed and have a lot of Korean friends. I guess it goes person by person, btw, being white I also encountered racism quite a few times and prejudice on daily basis, but why would I be mad about that, I am obviously not fitting the "asian" picture when I'm there and I just have to accept it, we are different and that is a fact.
@@hellodddd33134 There's racism everywhere in the world, especially in countries where the population is homogeneous. I can tell you that Korea is much better compared to when I lived there decades ago. Despite racism being front and center in NA, we are dealing with it upfront whereas it is still something that gets swept under the rug in countries where immigration has only been a recent thing.
@@9y2bgy Diversed countries have more racism and it's usually more violent. I'm American and we all know this. Homogeneous has nothing to do with the cause of racism lol...
It depends what your goals are and what your mindset is. I currently live in Daegu in a part of the city where I don't see any foreigners and I like it that way. I'm not trying to make friends with ex-pats or English-speakers. I'm trying to assimilate as much as possible.
The law HEAVILY FAVORS women in court. And I mean HEAVILY. Idk where that came from, but it's gotten so worse to the point where there is now a saying in korea "A woman's tears are enough evidence to put a man in prison for a lifetime"
Nepal is one of the countries I definitely want to visit in my lifetime. I'm sure there are quite a few Koreans who have this kind of dream. ^^ Nepal has been featured on many Korean broadcasts as a country with a high happiness index for its people. I definitely want to make the opportunity to go there next time...
I don't understand how come people get fantasy on a country from watching dramas. How dumb should you be to believe that the reality will be like drama? Drama is drama. Even kindergartners will know that.
Too many Indians and Southeast Asians are disparaging and generalizing Korea on the Internet with a narrow-minded mindset, and it seems really low-level. Please note that this is a statement of fact, not racism
I like Korea. Even though I’ve never been there, it seems to be a peaceful country. Koreans are pretty nice too. I have pleasure to meet and work with some. They are friendly and hard working people. Whenever you go to another country, you should respect it. It’s the basis. What country likes rude people? None.
I live in Tahiti, and my wife is South Korean. I like watching this kind of street interview with foreigners living in Korea. It gives a different perspective on Korea. I was surprised to learn about 2.3 million foreigners live in Korea. Thanks everyone for sharing your experience.
저 알제리에서 온 변호사라는 사람은 좀 많이 이상한 듯?..... 한국인과 결혼한 게 아니고 한국에서 사기라도 당한 것 같네요. 사람보다 차가 먼저인 것 같다는 분위기는 어느 정도 인정합니다. 그리고 무슬림은 특히 대구에서 사원 건립관련하여 현지 주민들과 큰 마찰을 벌이는 것을 대부분의 한국인들이 알고 있기에, 무슬림이라고 말하면 대부분의 한국 사람들은 좋아할 가능성이 적습니다. 국가전복세력이라고 여길 정도에요. 그래서 대체적으로 한국인들이 좋아하지 않습니다. 개인 대 개인은 다르겠지만요. 그리고 남의 나라에 왔으면 남의 나라 법을 따라야 하는 게 맞는 겁니다. 우리도 이슬람 문화권에 가서 이슬람 사원가면 신발 벗으라는대로 벗고 다 하는데, 한국에 와서 난 이거 때문에 안된다, 못한다 불평을 그렇게 할거면 이슬람 문화권만 돌아다니시는 게 맞을 것 같습니다. 마치 한국에서만 한국법을 따르라는 식으로 얘기를 하시는데 솔직히 그건 이슬람이 더 심하잖아요? 이슬람 지도자를 풍자했다고 프랑스 교사를 길거리에서 참수한 10대 소년의 이야기를 한국인들도 다 알고 있습니다. 무슬림들은 해외에서도 자기들의 신앙에 대해 민감하고 그 지역사회에 대해서 제대로 이야기를 하려고 하지 않죠.
사람마다 경험치가 다르고 관점도 다를 수 있다. 알제리 변호사가 개인적으로 겪은 일로 인해 편견을 가질 수도 있고 어쩌면 그것도 한국의 이면일 수 있다. 그건 그렇고 DTEX2는 듣기 좋고 보기 좋은 것만 편식하듯 접하려는 가치관이 알고 보면 얼마나 자신을 어리석게 만드는지도 알아야 된다. 물론 이것은 대부분의 사람들에 문제이긴 하다. (이슬람 얘기는 배제하고 하는 얘기들임)
한국법을 안다고하는 여자분 한국법을 하나도 모르는거 같은데. 한국법은 애초에 남성 여성을 구분하지 않음. 특별한 경우에만 남녀를 구분하는데 그렇게 남녀를 구분하는 경우는 100% 여성이 불리하지 않게 하거나 또는 여성에게만 혜택을 부여하는 경우임. 법적으로 남녀를 차별하는 예를 하나도 들지 않고 한국법이 남성에게 유리하게 제정되어있다니 너무 헛소리임. 만약 개별 판결이 남성에게 유리하게 작용하는 경우도 있다고 하면 뭐 그건 해당 판사의 개인적인 법률 해석이라 그런경우도 있을수있으니 반박하지 않겠지만 법률 자체가 남녀 불공평하다는건 한국법을 전혀 모르는 사람이 하는 혓소리. 그리고 한국 법률은 굉장히 어렵게 쓰여있어서 국어 능력이 높은 한국 사람이 읽어도 그 의미를 제대로 이해하기가 굉장히 어려운데 아무리 한국어를 잘하는 외국인이라도 한국 법률을 제대로 이해한다는거는 예외없이 불가능함.
애초에 남성만 징집되고 남성xxx은 하나도 없는데 여성 주차장, 직업여성지원금, 여성xxx가 즐비한 나라에서 정신나간소리임 이런말하고 싶지않은데 스페인말이 첫언어인거같은데 좀 떨어지는데서 법공부하지 않았을까 싶음 그리고 자국민보다 외국인을 우선시하는 법체계가 진짜 말인가 공부어디서 하셨나 궁금함

There is no stereotype of foreigners being rich, even for those from wealthy countries. That woman was speaking of her own experience. Koreans assumed she was rich because she does come off that way. The Korean law does not favor natives. Of course, citizens have more rights like voting, etc. just like in every other country. But I have never seen any legal judgments that favor Koreans over foreigners.
The law HEAVILY FAVORS women in court. And I mean HEAVILY. Idk where that came from, but it's gotten so worse to the point where there is now a saying in korea "A woman's tears are enough evidence to put a man in prison for a lifetime"
Technically speaking, Koreans can't become rude people if foreigners can keep their good manners toward Korean society. Supposing all people from overseas can follow Korea's national law and citizens' social vibes, nobody would show some bad attitude toward them. But many Chinese people don't want to accept South Korea's laws & orders, so most Koreans don't have positive thoughts for Chinese people who want to live in Korea. That's why Koreans don't love Chinese guys. For instance, many Chinese people don't want to learn Korean to communicate even though they live in Korea. However, most Westerners know how to respect Koreans. That's the difference between other foreigners and Chinese guys.

Everyone has their own experiences. Some people go there for college or to teach English and they don’t have a good experience and they say Koreans are rude and don’t talk to you and it’s hard to make friends. Then you have people who go there for college or teaching and they end up still there maybe 5 years later with a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend and with lots of friends. Everyone has their own experiences. I’d say visit the country first before making the decision to move there. I got into K-pop and K-dramas starting in February 2022 and by May 2022 I was learning the language and learning about the culture (I haven’t learned as much as I should by now though. Lol). My love for K-pop, the language, the Korean culture, and K-dramas grew over the past 2 and a half years. But I also visited Korea in April and I was there for almost 2 weeks. I stayed in Seoul. It was kind of lonely at times because I did go there by myself but I did have 2 K-pop friends I met up with there but they left when I still had a week left. I didn’t really communicate much with Koreans except I did ask a girl for help reading the map one day and someone came up to me and my friends when we looked lost and helped us. And I did have a little bit of a culture shock but I think it’s more of my anxiety when I experience new things. I wish I had experienced more, especially outside of Seoul but I did go for a day to Daegu to visit a couple that I know where the husband is Korean. That time in Daegu close to the end of my trip was great because it was a lot less crowded and busy and I got to experience nature with a park and animals compared to just the city. I think next time I visit for 2 weeks, I will visit more cities than just Seoul. Overall, I’m working for my bachelors degree after not being in college for 4 1/2 years and I’m leaning towards getting the degree so I can apply to be an English teacher there. For me, the good outweighs the bad. If all else fails, at least I’ll have my bachelors degree for getting a job in the States.
Great video. It’s so true that Ireland and Korea have similar sad histories. And the funny thing is that the countries that bullied them, Britain and Japan, also are similar in many ways.
Having lived abroad for over 15 years as a Korean and then returning to my home country, I’ve noticed that Korea has fewer day-to-day interactions with foreigners compared to many other countries. Of course, there are good people and not-so-good people everywhere, but overall, I think Korea is a pretty warm and welcoming place. However, there’s definitely some awkwardness in communication. I believe that ‘discrimination’ is something like a default setting for human survival instincts. The difference lies in whether people recognize it as inappropriate and make an effort not to act on it. It’s normal to be wary of something unfamiliar in nature. Compared to when I was younger, I feel like Korea’s cultural diversity has increased a bit. I hope it continues to grow even more in the future.
무슬림 여성은 상당히 무례하군요. 무슬림이라서 한국식절을 못한다고 하는데 그건 종교적의미가 아니라 윗어른을 존중하는 한국인사문화의 일부일뿐인데 마치 종교문제로 확대시키고 자신이 한국보다 더 사람들 인식이 높은 나라인듯 한국을 비난하는 모습이 모순적이고 웃기긴하네요. 한국을 비난하기전에 여성인권이 한국보다 못한무슬림사회를 그렇게 바꿀수있도록 먼저 노력하시지요. 그리고 당신의 태도는 어느나라에가더라도 환영받지 못할 태도입니다. 어디를 가더라도 불평불만만 하는 사람은 살기좋은 낙원에 가서도 불평불만만 하겠지요~
When in Rome, do as the Roman's do. 한국에 아무리 오래 살았더라도 외국인 종특(trait)을 그대로 유지하면서 자신을 외국인 취급한다고 불평불만이다. 한국 젊은이들의 외모가 구렛나루 수염을 저렇게 무성하게 기르고 다니느냐? 한국 여성들이 히잡을 뒤집어 써고 다니면서 '나 무슬림이요' 과시를 하느냐? 종교도 아닌 광신적 이데올로기가 뇌를 점령해서 이슬람을 따르는 것이 인생의 목표이자 인생의 기준이 된 머리로 한국의 예절과 관습을 무시하면서 한국인 친구를 사귀기가 어려워 외국인만 친구로 두고 있다는 소리가 나오고..... 쓰레기는 어디에 놔둬도 쓰레기 취급을 받을 수밖에 없다. 한국에서 무례한 대접을 받았으면 자신이 무례하지 않았는지 먼저 반성할 일이다만 머저리는 자기 잘못이 없다고 믿거나 뭐가 문제인지 모르니까 답이 없다. 한국은 종교의 자유가 있다. 이슬람을 믿는다고 체포되고 고문을 받거나 사형에 처해지지 않는다. 북한은 성경책을 소유하거나 예배를 보거나 하면 체포되어 강제수용소행 또는 사형 등 혹독한 처벌을 받기에 '종교의 자유'가 없다. 이슬람도 종교의 자유가 없기는 마찬가지다. 이슬람교에 대해서 불성실한 신심(infidelity)가 되어 처벌 받는 엄혹한 독재의 수단이 되어 버린 이슬람교 국가. 다른 종교에 대한 배려나 공존의 기미가 없다. 이슬람 아니면 다 없애야 할 대상이다. 그런데에서는 살아가자면 히잡이든 니캅이든 부르카든지....쓰지 않고는 못 배기는 사회니까 할 수없이 쓴다고 해도....한국은 그런거 쓰는 것을 환영하지 않는다. 한국에는 절반 이상의 인구가 무교도이며, 나머지는 개신교, 불교, 천주교도들이다. 이들은 누구도 복장으로 자신의 종교를 드러내지 않는다. 한국은 종교간의 분쟁이 없다. 누구도 자기가 믿는 종교에 따른 복식을 입고 다니지 않는다. 무슬림들도 이 점을 잘 깨닫고 히잡을 써고 다닌다든지 무슬림 남자의 복장으로 다니지 않기를..... 이는 한국의 관습과 전통에 대한 도전으로 간주된다. 히잡을 허용하면 다음 단계는 니캅과 부르카일 것이다. 니캅과 부르카를 막기 위해서라도 히잡 착용을 허용하면 안 된다. 한국은 자신의 종교가 국민의 삶을 명령하는 것은 원하지 않는다. 한국에서의 '종교의 자유'는 무한정의 자유가 아니라, 다른 종교인과 무교도인에 대한 배려까지 의무로 지워진다. 히잡이든 니캅, 부르카를 꼭 착용하고 싶은 사람들은 그런 의복을 꼭 착용할 자유가 있는 너희 나라로 돌아가라.
These days, many foriegner say " Living Korea is not like K-drama". "I'm totally disappointed" I think those are most childish and stupid answers. being part in any country life is hard unless you are traveling. How dare they decide to live in Korea just after watching K-drama? You have to learn Language, try to hang out with local people, get a job and so on. The real life in another country is very hard. Don't come to Korea expecting beatiful K- dream life. Korea life has both advantage and bad things.
I believe that improving women's rights is essential in every country around the world. South Korea still has room for progress and is currently making strides in this area. However, from an objective standpoint, I would like to provide more accurate information about how South Korea compares with other countries regarding laws, crime rates and gender equality issues. (For foreigners living in South Korea, having a clear understanding of Korean laws is crucial for effectively navigating and utilizing them in the future.)
The Constitution guarantees that all individuals, including foreigners, are dignified beings and should not face unfair discrimination based on their origin or other reasons. Rights and Duties of Citizens Article 10: Every citizen has human dignity and the right to pursue happiness. The state must ensure the inviolable fundamental human rights of individuals. Article 11: All citizens are equal before the law and should not be discriminated against based on gender, religion, social status, or any other reason. 1. The establishment of special social classes is not recognized, nor can any such class be created. 2. Honors and decorations only apply to the recipient and confer no special privileges. Article 22: Citizens have academic and artistic freedom. 1. The rights of authors, inventors, scientists, and artists are protected by law.
The "Act on the Equal Employment and Support for Work-Family Reconciliation" in South Korea aims to ensure gender equality in employment and support work-family balance. Here are some key points: 1. Non-Discrimination: The law prohibits discrimination based on gender in recruitment, hiring, and workplace conditions. Employers must provide equal opportunities and treatment for both men and women. 2. Maternity Protection: Employers must offer maternity leave before and after childbirth, as well as paternity leave for spouses. This includes a minimum of 10 days of paid leave for fathers. 3. Parental Leave: Employees are entitled to up to one year of parental leave to care for children up to 8 years old or the second grade of elementary school. During this period, the government supports part of the employee’s salary to ease financial burdens. 4. Flexible Work Arrangements: The law encourages flexible working hours and conditions to help employees balance work and family responsibilities. This includes the right to request reduced working hours during the child-rearing period. 5. Workplace Support: Employers are required to create a work environment that supports the reconciliation of work and family life. This includes providing facilities like on-site childcare and accommodating employees' family responsibilities These measures aim to create a more inclusive workplace and support employees in managing both their professional and personal lives.
In Korea, there exists the Equal Employment Opportunity Law for both genders. According to this law, companies cannot hire discriminatively based on gender. However, despite its name, some criticize that there are no clauses specifically protecting men. I agree with the necessity of this law, but it seems there is room for improvement. Positive example of this law in action: An example would be the 'KB Kookmin Bank gender discrimination in hiring and corruption incident'. KB Kookmin Bank intentionally favored men, resulting in penalties under this law. Negative example where this law did not positively impact: An example would be the controversy over the Game Rating and Administration Committee's biased hiring towards women with career gaps and disabled individuals. They rigidly excluded men by making career gaps and disability prerequisites for monitoring team recruitment, receiving only written warnings from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, as legal enforcement is not feasible and G.R.A.C. certainly ignored it and did not amend their qualifications requirements. Eventually, this incident pointed out that this law has room for improvement.
In Korea, in cases of divorce, parents must agree on matters regarding the custody of their children. If they cannot agree, the family court will decide on custody matters either at its own discretion or upon request by the parties (Civil Code, Article 837, Paragraphs 1, 2, and 4). 1. Determination of custody 2. Burden of child-rearing costs 3. Exercise of visitation rights and methods thereof Custody Statistics: 1. For children aged 0 to 6: - Father has custody rights: 8.6% - Mother has custody rights: 91.4% 2. For children in elementary school (age 7 to 12): - Father has custody rights: 18.5% - Mother has custody rights: 81.5% 3. For children in middle school or older (age 13 and above): - Father has custody rights: 30.4% - Mother has custody rights: 69.6% Additionally, if children are primarily raised by their mother after divorce in Korea, they can change their surname to their mother's surname if they wish to do so. (Ps.The father is usually required to provide child support monthly.)

when I study at college since 2023 I want to go abroad like America, Singapore and Korea. I lived in an environment with no English before, so I couldn't use English to write, listen or speak. Day after day passed until May 2024. I made the decision to consistently try to learn English. However, it was not easy because I studied autodidactically and didn't have partners or friends to study and practice with. Until now I haven't been able to find a partner or friend to study with. If you see my comment, can you help me or give me suggestions for learning English?😢🙏
There are no trash cans cause back in the day older people would fill them up with their garbage, remember the older generation did not live in the modern Korea (Seoul) you see today hence a lot of the odd things you may find between other developed countries and Korea
Law is with woman in korean. That laywer is wrong. Recently in military, man died due to intense training order from female commander. Soldier said many times he needs medical help. Commander continued training and he died. That female commander went on vacation for two weeks because of court order. She should have been areested right away for killing that soldier. Also man can get arrested for sexual assult without even evidence. Just verbal statement will be enuf.
Are there any inconveniences for foreigners in Korea? There are only interviews like this What are some inconveniences or difficulties for locals caused by foreigners? There are no such interviews. Like a foreigner is the boss of war Foreign crimes against their citizens are too serious, so I hope there is an interview. Indigenous people are never treated There are times when you take risks, They say we should prioritize foreigners. White Chinese, Arab black Southeast Asian crime is too much around me.

Koreans are a nation with strong nationalism, having been invaded by China, northern nomads, and Japan for 7,000 years. That's why when dealing with foreigners, they are treated as "guests" and are kind to them because they are guests. If you are thinking of staying in Korea for a long time, you will have to endure the feeling of being an outsider at first. However, as you become able to communicate in Korean and become familiar with Korean etiquette, those stares will ease up a lot. And Koreans do not make friends easily, even among their own people. This is probably the most difficult part of living in Korea for foreigners.
are you currently living abroad? which country are you living in and what's your expectations vs Reality of Living in that country?
I'm currently living in Korea.

Koreans know that without America, they would not exist and that their country would either be a part of Japan or a part of China today, so there is this sense of understanding how without Americans they would not have what they have.
@@xuser9980 You deserve to be respected in Korea. In fact, you deserve to be respected in any country because, as you mentioned, you make an effort to respect the local language and customs! However, many English speakers often ask their first question in English and don't even consider learning very simple and basic Korean phrases. They don't prepare at all from the start. If someone is American and feel like you're not being treated well in Korea, it's likely because you haven't made an effort to respect Korean culture.

19:34 "dont bring your culture with you and expect people to accept it" that was the best line. i see a lot of people that try that and and get mad when people dont accept it
That's most people when they go to a foreign country
That's easy to say, and it sounds great in theory. Actually in most cases I would agree. But what about when some part of the local culture is legitimately bad or degrading? Like being expected to work a crazy number of hours? Or the notion that you have to be deferential to someone older than you, even if they are being disrespectful to you or saying something that's clearly untrue? Or being expected to look the other way and say nothing if you see a father hitting his child, because "that's his right" as a father? (I know this is less common in Korea these days, but it's still extremely common in many Asian countries).
When you think about specific actions, not just general theories, it's not always so clear-cut.

lt really doesn't matter what you say or what they do that's right or wrong, there is the concept of national sovereignity. Every country has the right to set their own rules for their own, they're not setting rules for you, it's for their own and only their own. If it's so bad, then that's for them to fix amongst themselves , as a foreigner you don't and shouldn't have the right to interfere with other people's affairs.

Great interviews with all the different backgrounds of people. This definitely shows how everyone experience in Korea is different.

1:35 - I am SO glad that this lady brought this topic up. All you see nowadays on social media are people talking really bad about Koreans saying they're rude and what not, always gets compared against Japan, etc.. and these negative, poor stereotypes gets amplified unnecessarily and gets generalized.. and they're at the end of the day, view baiting because Korea is a hot topic many people search and explore now.. as an American, living in Korea, I couldn't stand seeing these posts because it's just not true.. majority of Koreans are super sweet and nice to all.. yes, there can be outliers but they exist everywhere not just in Korea.. I've visited Japan, Spain, France, and Malaysia.. I've experience odd people but do I judge them or generalize the whole country? No. So the next time you see clips of these people, take it with a grain of salt and keep an open mind. That is all.
I know its subjective but you cant deny that there has a lot of racism got normalized and developed a lot of discrimination towards sea, South America and in this video there has no ppl who are a representative of this race so you cant tell the ppl to shut their mounth when there still has a lot of ppl live in south korea and got discrimination and then there has white girl form random video tell them “korea is not racist’

A rhetorical question to the lawyer from Algeria, is there any country in the world where the law is not favorable towards its own citizens vs foreign visitors? Also it's interesting how she claims that the "law" favors men over women? In all honesty this was very true in the past, but not so much anymore. As a Korean-American who travels to Korea often to visit family and for business I've noticed that women enjoy a very high degree of legal protections, almost on par with advanced Western nations.

I want to give advice to foreigners as Koreans.. I want to learn the culture and language of the country other than Korea and tell them to approach the locals first.... I have been to many places abroad, but the locals did not approach me first. But I don't know why I want Koreans to approach me first when I come to Korea... If you respect Korea and try to learn the language, Koreans will be happy to be friends with you... Sometimes when I see a foreigner who complains in Korea, I don't know why they came to Korea without even trying to learn about Korea... Why do they think Koreans should be tailored to them when they don't do anything... I saw a lot of foreigners who were too rude.

Article 32 of the Korean Constitution states, “Women’s labor is under special protection, and they shall not be subjected to unjust discrimination in employment, wages, and working conditions,”
while Article 34 states, “The state shall endeavor to promote the welfare and rights of women.”
Women’s rights are specifically managed by the Constitution, and as far as I know, there aren’t many countries like this.
In South Korea, rape victims are limited to women under criminal law. There are no separate laws protecting men who are raped.
And it has been deemed constitutional that only men are required to serve compulsory military service.
In the Korean legal system, if a woman identifies a specific man as a sex offender, an investigation begins immediately based on the woman’s report and testimony.
The former president (President Moon) ordered that once an investigation into a sex crime perpetrator begins, the perpetrator’s workplace or affiliated institution must be immediately notified, ensuring that the perpetrator suffers more than just the consequences of the crime.
Notifying the workplace or affiliated institution at the investigation stage, when the individual is merely a suspect and not yet proven guilty, clearly violates the principle of presumption of innocence.
There are many aspects of this country’s judicial system that can be seen as discriminating against men. What do you think?
Korean culture and Islamic culture are very different. In Korea, atheists are the majority of the population, and most Koreans distance themselves from people who are too deeply involved in religion.
It is a thoroughly secular country, and each religion respects other religions, so there are no major conflicts caused by religion.
And even when people of different religions meet, they all live according to basic Korean etiquette and customs, so there is no difference in behavior due to religion.
Even if you believe in Buddhism, everyone eats meat. And there are many cases where the mother goes to a temple and the daughter goes to church.
Therefore, people who prioritize the laws of their religion while ignoring Korean etiquette and customs do not fit in well with Korean society. And there are many Koreans who are worried that certain religions will cause social problems.
So, there's a factual error.. athiests are not the majority of the Korean population.. it's actually Christianity and Buddhism.. where'd you get that wrong intel?
I agree with your comment as a korean
@@user-vb6ko5tw2q Wikipedia is not a good source…
I agree, if you strongly adhere to religious law... you probably get a trouble. If you don't eat pork or some food for religious reasons during dinner with them, some koreans will soon feel distant from you. deep religious beliefs make them feel uncomfortable. this is because social rules are considered more important than religious rules.

As far as it is for every country, learn the language and try assimilating into the culture, then you’ll have a good time.
Well said. Doesn't take rocket science to get that! Many foreigners come to Korea or other countries like Japan.. and have this mentality of the country changing for them, when they should be changing to fit the country..
Lived in Korea nearly 7 years and "rude" is not the word I'd use to describe Koreans. Self-absorbed and perhaps oblivious to the world outside their tiny peninsula, but not rude at all. In my experience living in 4 separate cities (Seoul, Daejeon, Chuncheon and Daegu), Koreans tended to be quite nice, kind and genuinely good-hearted people. I'm surprised that people think that they are rude. Be respectful, learn some of the language and obey the rules--you'll be fine. Just don't overstay your welcome. Know when to hold 'em, when to fold 'em, and when to get up and walk away. :)
Well, that's how it's supposed to work, if you go to their country, they're the main character, you're just a side character. Too many foreigners, especially from rich countries, go into Korea with main character syndrome expecting the whole country to cater to them.

There is no stereotype of foreigners being rich, even for those from wealthy countries. That woman was speaking of her own experience. Koreans assumed she was rich because she does come off that way.
The Korean law does not favor natives. Of course, citizens have more rights like voting, etc. just like in every other country. But I have never seen any legal judgments that favor Koreans over foreigners.
The law HEAVILY FAVORS women in court. And I mean HEAVILY. Idk where that came from, but it's gotten so worse to the point where there is now a saying in korea "A woman's tears are enough evidence to put a man in prison for a lifetime"
@@Karznax What is your point?
Technically speaking, Koreans can't become rude people if foreigners can keep their good manners toward Korean society. Supposing all people from overseas can follow Korea's national law and citizens' social vibes, nobody would show some bad attitude toward them. But many Chinese people don't want to accept South Korea's laws & orders, so most Koreans don't have positive thoughts for Chinese people who want to live in Korea. That's why Koreans don't love Chinese guys. For instance, many Chinese people don't want to learn Korean to communicate even though they live in Korea. However, most Westerners know how to respect Koreans. That's the difference between other foreigners and Chinese guys.
Well said!

Everyone has their own experiences. Some people go there for college or to teach English and they don’t have a good experience and they say Koreans are rude and don’t talk to you and it’s hard to make friends. Then you have people who go there for college or teaching and they end up still there maybe 5 years later with a Korean boyfriend or girlfriend and with lots of friends. Everyone has their own experiences.
I’d say visit the country first before making the decision to move there.
I got into K-pop and K-dramas starting in February 2022 and by May 2022 I was learning the language and learning about the culture (I haven’t learned as much as I should by now though. Lol). My love for K-pop, the language, the Korean culture, and K-dramas grew over the past 2 and a half years.
But I also visited Korea in April and I was there for almost 2 weeks. I stayed in Seoul. It was kind of lonely at times because I did go there by myself but I did have 2 K-pop friends I met up with there but they left when I still had a week left. I didn’t really communicate much with Koreans except I did ask a girl for help reading the map one day and someone came up to me and my friends when we looked lost and helped us. And I did have a little bit of a culture shock but I think it’s more of my anxiety when I experience new things. I wish I had experienced more, especially outside of Seoul but I did go for a day to Daegu to visit a couple that I know where the husband is Korean. That time in Daegu close to the end of my trip was great because it was a lot less crowded and busy and I got to experience nature with a park and animals compared to just the city. I think next time I visit for 2 weeks, I will visit more cities than just Seoul.
Overall, I’m working for my bachelors degree after not being in college for 4 1/2 years and I’m leaning towards getting the degree so I can apply to be an English teacher there. For me, the good outweighs the bad. If all else fails, at least I’ll have my bachelors degree for getting a job in the States.
Great video. It’s so true that Ireland and Korea have similar sad histories. And the funny thing is that the countries that bullied them, Britain and Japan, also are similar in many ways.
Your Shirt looks good like that!
Having lived abroad for over 15 years as a Korean and then returning to my home country, I’ve noticed that Korea has fewer day-to-day interactions with foreigners compared to many other countries. Of course, there are good people and not-so-good people everywhere, but overall, I think Korea is a pretty warm and welcoming place. However, there’s definitely some awkwardness in communication. I believe that ‘discrimination’ is something like a default setting for human survival instincts. The difference lies in whether people recognize it as inappropriate and make an effort not to act on it. It’s normal to be wary of something unfamiliar in nature. Compared to when I was younger, I feel like Korea’s cultural diversity has increased a bit. I hope it continues to grow even more in the future.
무슬림 여성은 상당히 무례하군요. 무슬림이라서 한국식절을 못한다고 하는데 그건 종교적의미가 아니라 윗어른을 존중하는 한국인사문화의 일부일뿐인데 마치 종교문제로 확대시키고 자신이 한국보다 더 사람들 인식이 높은 나라인듯 한국을 비난하는 모습이 모순적이고 웃기긴하네요. 한국을 비난하기전에 여성인권이 한국보다 못한무슬림사회를 그렇게 바꿀수있도록 먼저 노력하시지요. 그리고 당신의 태도는 어느나라에가더라도 환영받지 못할 태도입니다. 어디를 가더라도 불평불만만 하는 사람은 살기좋은 낙원에 가서도 불평불만만 하겠지요~
저런사람들은 자신의 나라에 있어야함..
When in Rome, do as the Roman's do.
한국에 아무리 오래 살았더라도 외국인 종특(trait)을 그대로 유지하면서 자신을 외국인 취급한다고 불평불만이다.
한국 젊은이들의 외모가 구렛나루 수염을 저렇게 무성하게 기르고 다니느냐? 한국 여성들이 히잡을 뒤집어 써고 다니면서 '나 무슬림이요' 과시를 하느냐? 종교도 아닌 광신적 이데올로기가 뇌를 점령해서 이슬람을 따르는 것이 인생의 목표이자 인생의 기준이 된 머리로 한국의 예절과 관습을 무시하면서 한국인 친구를 사귀기가 어려워 외국인만 친구로 두고 있다는 소리가 나오고..... 쓰레기는 어디에 놔둬도 쓰레기 취급을 받을 수밖에 없다. 한국에서 무례한 대접을 받았으면 자신이 무례하지 않았는지 먼저 반성할 일이다만 머저리는 자기 잘못이 없다고 믿거나 뭐가 문제인지 모르니까 답이 없다.
한국은 종교의 자유가 있다.
이슬람을 믿는다고 체포되고 고문을 받거나 사형에 처해지지 않는다. 북한은 성경책을 소유하거나 예배를 보거나 하면 체포되어 강제수용소행 또는 사형 등 혹독한 처벌을 받기에 '종교의 자유'가 없다. 이슬람도 종교의 자유가 없기는 마찬가지다. 이슬람교에 대해서 불성실한 신심(infidelity)가 되어 처벌 받는 엄혹한 독재의 수단이 되어 버린 이슬람교 국가. 다른 종교에 대한 배려나 공존의 기미가 없다. 이슬람 아니면 다 없애야 할 대상이다. 그런데에서는 살아가자면 히잡이든 니캅이든 부르카든지....쓰지 않고는 못 배기는 사회니까 할 수없이 쓴다고 해도....한국은 그런거 쓰는 것을 환영하지 않는다. 한국에는 절반 이상의 인구가 무교도이며, 나머지는 개신교, 불교, 천주교도들이다. 이들은 누구도 복장으로 자신의 종교를 드러내지 않는다. 한국은 종교간의 분쟁이 없다. 누구도 자기가 믿는 종교에 따른 복식을 입고 다니지 않는다. 무슬림들도 이 점을 잘 깨닫고 히잡을 써고 다닌다든지 무슬림 남자의 복장으로 다니지 않기를..... 이는 한국의 관습과 전통에 대한 도전으로 간주된다. 히잡을 허용하면 다음 단계는 니캅과 부르카일 것이다. 니캅과 부르카를 막기 위해서라도 히잡 착용을 허용하면 안 된다. 한국은 자신의 종교가 국민의 삶을 명령하는 것은 원하지 않는다.
한국에서의 '종교의 자유'는 무한정의 자유가 아니라, 다른 종교인과 무교도인에 대한 배려까지 의무로 지워진다.
히잡이든 니캅, 부르카를 꼭 착용하고 싶은 사람들은 그런 의복을 꼭 착용할 자유가 있는 너희 나라로 돌아가라.

These days, many foriegner say " Living Korea is not like K-drama". "I'm totally disappointed" I think those are most childish and stupid answers.
being part in any country life is hard unless you are traveling. How dare they decide to live in Korea just after watching K-drama?
You have to learn Language, try to hang out with local people, get a job and so on. The real life in another country is very hard.
Don't come to Korea expecting beatiful K- dream life. Korea life has both advantage and bad things.
Korean people once u get to know them they are angels they are literally nice like angels
I believe that improving women's rights is essential in every country around the world. South Korea still has room for progress and is currently making strides in this area. However, from an objective standpoint, I would like to provide more accurate information about how South Korea compares with other countries regarding laws, crime rates and gender equality issues. (For foreigners living in South Korea, having a clear understanding of Korean laws is crucial for effectively navigating and utilizing them in the future.)
The Constitution guarantees that all individuals, including foreigners, are dignified beings and should not face unfair discrimination based on their origin or other reasons.
Rights and Duties of Citizens
Article 10: Every citizen has human dignity and the right to pursue happiness. The state must ensure the inviolable fundamental human rights of individuals.
Article 11: All citizens are equal before the law and should not be discriminated against based on gender, religion, social status, or any other reason.
1. The establishment of special social classes is not recognized, nor can any such class be created.
2. Honors and decorations only apply to the recipient and confer no special privileges.
Article 22: Citizens have academic and artistic freedom.
1. The rights of authors, inventors, scientists, and artists are protected by law.
The "Act on the Equal Employment and Support for Work-Family Reconciliation" in South Korea aims to ensure gender equality in employment and support work-family balance. Here are some key points:
1. Non-Discrimination: The law prohibits discrimination based on gender in recruitment, hiring, and workplace conditions. Employers must provide equal opportunities and treatment for both men and women.
2. Maternity Protection: Employers must offer maternity leave before and after childbirth, as well as paternity leave for spouses. This includes a minimum of 10 days of paid leave for fathers.
3. Parental Leave: Employees are entitled to up to one year of parental leave to care for children up to 8 years old or the second grade of elementary school. During this period, the government supports part of the employee’s salary to ease financial burdens.
4. Flexible Work Arrangements: The law encourages flexible working hours and conditions to help employees balance work and family responsibilities. This includes the right to request reduced working hours during the child-rearing period.
5. Workplace Support: Employers are required to create a work environment that supports the reconciliation of work and family life. This includes providing facilities like on-site childcare and accommodating employees' family responsibilities
These measures aim to create a more inclusive workplace and support employees in managing both their professional and personal lives.
In Korea, there exists the Equal Employment Opportunity Law for both genders. According to this law, companies cannot hire discriminatively based on gender. However, despite its name, some criticize that there are no clauses specifically protecting men. I agree with the necessity of this law, but it seems there is room for improvement.
Positive example of this law in action:
An example would be the 'KB Kookmin Bank gender discrimination in hiring and corruption incident'. KB Kookmin Bank intentionally favored men, resulting in penalties under this law.
Negative example where this law did not positively impact:
An example would be the controversy over the Game Rating and Administration Committee's biased hiring towards women with career gaps and disabled individuals. They rigidly excluded men by making career gaps and disability prerequisites for monitoring team recruitment, receiving only written warnings from the Ministry of Employment and Labor, as legal enforcement is not feasible and G.R.A.C. certainly ignored it and did not amend their qualifications requirements. Eventually, this incident pointed out that this law has room for improvement.
In Korea, in cases of divorce, parents must agree on matters regarding the custody of their children. If they cannot agree, the family court will decide on custody matters either at its own discretion or upon request by the parties (Civil Code, Article 837, Paragraphs 1, 2, and 4).
1. Determination of custody
2. Burden of child-rearing costs
3. Exercise of visitation rights and methods thereof
Custody Statistics:
1. For children aged 0 to 6:
- Father has custody rights: 8.6%
- Mother has custody rights: 91.4%
2. For children in elementary school (age 7 to 12):
- Father has custody rights: 18.5%
- Mother has custody rights: 81.5%
3. For children in middle school or older (age 13 and above):
- Father has custody rights: 30.4%
- Mother has custody rights: 69.6%
Additionally, if children are primarily raised by their mother after divorce in Korea, they can change their surname to their mother's surname if they wish to do so.
(Ps.The father is usually required to provide child support monthly.)
Here are the gender equality rankings based on the 2019 UN Gender Inequality Index. This index evaluates three areas: reproductive health, empowerment, and labor participation. Specifically, it measures maternal mortality rates, adolescent birth rates, female parliamentary representation, secondary education rates, and economic participation. The index ranges from 0 (complete equality) to 1 (complete inequality), providing an assessment of the absolute progress in women's rights. For instance, maternal mortality reflects the state of healthcare for women, while adolescent birth rates indicate the advancement of sex education.

"The law is not with women in Korea." Uhh men statistically get much harsher fines and sentencing than women when comparing the same crimes in Korea, but okay lady from North Africa.

Day after day passed until May 2024. I made the decision to consistently try to learn English. However, it was not easy because I studied autodidactically and didn't have partners or friends to study and practice with. Until now I haven't been able to find a partner or friend to study with. If you see my comment, can you help me or give me suggestions for learning English?😢🙏

Commander continued training and he died. That female commander went on vacation for two weeks because of court order. She should have been areested right away for killing that soldier. Also man can get arrested for sexual assult without even evidence. Just verbal statement will be enuf.

Koreans are a nation with strong nationalism, having been invaded by China, northern nomads, and Japan for 7,000 years. That's why when dealing with foreigners, they are treated as "guests" and are kind to them because they are guests. If you are thinking of staying in Korea for a long time, you will have to endure the feeling of being an outsider at first. However, as you become able to communicate in Korean and become familiar with Korean etiquette, those stares will ease up a lot. And Koreans do not make friends easily, even among their own people. This is probably the most difficult part of living in Korea for foreigners.
