The comment section reflects exactly how the people here in Korea react to any kind of complain by foreigners. These artists have already gone through a tough time gathering the courage to speak up and here you see people wanting them to just shut up. It's ridiculous.
Totally true but then again some of them are just annoying Korea boo that’s trying so hard to embed them self in the Korean culture when they know they will never truly be Koreans. Get over it and grow up Korea is not as it cracked out to be as you think it is, they got their issue to as you can.
@@chrisc1184 I suspect he's talking about typical reactions from Korean netizens to articles discussing foreigners in Korea. I agree with you regarding "being an artist". Every time there is an article discussing the treatment of expats in Korea, these types of comments are very common. I'd love to think that Korean as a whole believe what you wrote, but the comments I see here are typical of what I always see, albeit, it's much improved from a couple of years ago. Much improved.
@@kellyfrances4943 netizens are usually negative ppl w nothing to do. When u talk to irl ppl that are functioning members of society, the response is diff. Negative minded ppl often will engage in bs while positive ppl are going about their life. You can understand why comments sections are filled w negativity. The same goes for netizens of other countries that seem to have a sick joy out of pointing out problems in korea with zero awareness that some things are objectively worse or equally bad in their home countries. It's usually reflected in their tone and most of the time they don't even live in korea. On the flip side, most foreigners in korea are going about their life and living positively, and not spewing hatred.
This article will make Koreans including me listen foreign inhabitants' voice and their rights as a tax payer. You,foreign residents, deserve speaking up your Deal in Korea. That's obviously discrimination. It's shame. Korean people and Korea Gov. listen to THIS. I absolutely support YOU, foreign artists.
Will it? This video particularly? Can you confirm if there has been articles made in Korean language. Because this video is in English which means it is inaccessable to Koreans,( it doesn't even have Korea subtitle) This video seems to be looking to get international support more than to inform Koreans themselves.
@@maheshpun4804 MANY in Korean language - that was the problem, the coverage was all in Korean, so this sole English coverage was valuable and appreciated. Thank you for asking.
The phrase to be written in bold letters and underlined here is “taxpaying foreigner.” The Korean government take money from them, they recognize their rights and protect it.
I am glad that they spoke up about this, and i do support you for this. It is a good message to foreigners who plan to come to Korea, to think and know what it is really like in the entertainment industry there. It is sad that they black list artists for speaking up.
I want to educate you! This is the standard that is the norm everywhere, including in Hollywood. Nobody signs contracts for extras and gigs in Hollywood or in any other western entertainment countries. I have worked for seven years as gigs in Hollywood, I never signed any contract and yes I am a foreigner in America. So stop nitpicking Korea. Why should Korean entertainment industry follow any international obligations when nobody else follows it! Including America. You are a naive kid and lot to learn about adult business. Besides if all the extras and gigs are given individual (non exploitative) contracts than Hollywood would have long been bankrupt. So Korea is no different.
@@elangbam3115 Let ME educate you. Several of the actors in Netflix's Squid Game weren't allowed to sign contracts, either. I work in both countries (as a foreigner in both), and I've never not signed a contract in the US when I requested one. Perhaps you're being naive. Sure, we do non union gigs here and there without bothering, but even the student films I've acted in had contracts.
@@kellyfrances4943 really ho ho maybe that has to do with you being actual American. I am not American, and foereigner extras, stuntman etc don't have the luxury of signing contract. Atleast it is not given to us. The agency will simply say okay you don't want it we will hire someone else
To those expressing disgust that "foreigners are trying to change Korea or enforce their cultural values on Korea", pls note that a common and arguably the most damaging offense (contract fraud) is tied to the same international agreement that protects BTS when they're abroad. These are not "special provisions" being requested - just compliance with the law.
@@elangbam3115 Respectfully, Nothing wrong with you stating your opinon, but I am unsure how that addresses that lack of adherence to the law. That is what my comment addressed.
Yes, cause the West doesnt abuse workers. 🙄🙄🙄 Its a global problem. How many foreign workers literally DIED due to bad work conditions, building the new stadiums in Qatar for the next World Cup to the silence of the world?
lol. not surprising. i lived in korea for 7yrs. i've experienced more racism in korea as a southeast asian man than in the US where I have lived for 20yrs.
There is a Korean translator right next to them who is translating everything they say. Why are people complaining about them not protesting in Korean? They want their message to be as clear as possible so they hired a Korean person to translate. This is for both English speaking and Korean media sources to report on. Also, if they are being casted in Korean productions shouldn't they be treated normally like other actors? They are there because Korean filmmakers want them to be there. If there wasn't a market for foreign actors they would not even be doing this. If Korean actors were experiencing this in any other country the Korean public wouldnt stand for it. Perhaps there should be some empathy towards human beings just trying to make a living in your country.
"Its here that i will get old and die" Its exactly how you said. Honestly, South Korea is a pretty developed country (i know that it may fall under developed but still) and for them to still have this moronic situations that doesnt get fixxed just bcs of incompetent and useless politicians is unbelievable
People are making that argument in a rude manner (not asking about it as a genuine question) do so because they lack a valid argument otherwise and resent the people they see. It's the sort of irrelevant, cognitively lazy thing that bullies point out when they don't want to admit "I am a racist" or "I resent the presence of foreigners in Korea and don't care to understand them" or (even worse), "I just like to be nasty and this is all I could bother to observe".
While your opinion is completely valid and true, Koreans have never been able to protest in their own language anywhere else in the world. Even in countries like the US where it's supposedly the melting pot of cultures, Koreans face an overwhelming pressure to speak English for any of their concerns or protests.
@@koguy2 I agree! Both my statement and what you're saying can be true at the same time. If Koreans in America want to speak Korean and use a translator to get their point across they should have the right to and no one should think that is a reason to not listen to their message.
@@koguy2 It would be wonderful if places like America were truly inclusive that way. I imagine it would be tough to be effective if one protested in Korean in a place like America. We needed English language media in at least one instance in this case - though there were likely upwards of 15 Korean language news articles written about this event, which was largely conducted in Korean. One of my main concerns was that no one is educating those abroad who are potential targets for unethical recruiters. There is a growing visa milling problem right now, and it can be found on social media. Regardless, I appreciate and respect your feelings. I truly enjoy seeing how Korean cultural curiosity and appreciation is growing rapidly these days and I've never seen more interest in it! ^^ When I first moved to Korea in 2000, it was very different! Best wishes to you sir.
For people wondering why they're protesting in English, it's probably to get some international attention to this issue since Korea usually doesn't do anything unless they risk losing face internationally 🤷♀🤷♀ Remember how the foreigner only covid testing rule didn't get revoked until international media found out about it?
i am currently in kenya , and you get contracts here for EVERYTHING . imagine Korea being so advanced and practicing basic racism from the 1950s and then pretend its foreigners that are being difficult. i am thinking the reason no black people appears in this video is because they don't get hired for TV extra roles in the first place since Korea places premium on white skin. its a terrible predicament to be in. i'll probably scratch Korea off my list frankly.
No. They are protesting in Eglish because they can't speak Korean, the native language of the country they work and reside in. Imagine if Koreans in [insert any English-speaking country] protested in Korean, that country's media would have a field day and blame these foreigners (Koreans) for not speaking English. So, please stop making excuses for these culturally inept people.
@@iu2 But the guy with the long hair said he speaks korea, learned their culture, married a native and even have children. Did you watch a different vid or something?
LWC was right in saying that it's ironic that BTS spoke in America against crimes against Asian Americans when Korea is just as bad and worse against foreigners. Instead of preaching to people of a different country, they should have instead preached to their own. Bullying, harassment, blacklisting, so much is going on against foreigners in Korea. Some establishments like clubs won't even allow you inside if you're a foreigner. They don't have laws that criminalize discrimination in places of business. This is the 21st Century and Korea can't even protect Koreans and non-Koreans equally. Excuse me, but what? Is this a developing 3rd world nation?
I live in Greece and we get many tourists here...well Koreans are the first to leave negative reviews on google for places with bad customer service always calling the employees racist. I personally find it hilarious because a)Those places are known to have bad service for everyone and b) you are the ones to talk of racism 🤣...you don't like like it when others do that (allegedly) to you,do you?
Korea is worse? Are you high? Can you tell me where in South Korea young Korean men are trolling the streets, attacking elderly foreign people and killing them? Cause thats what was happening in the US during Covid, and most of the attacks comitted by black men, occasionally black women. I didnt see the black American community rise up and speak out against this but you wonder why foreign black people are then mistreated in Asia? Hello, Koreans have internet. They watch the news. They see elderly Asians being attacked for no reason. You think thats going to foster sympathy? (eye roll)
No it's not. GTFOH. It's absolutely not the same thing. Asian Americans are getting assaulted, murdered, violently robbed, and in some instances r*ped. This is not the same thing as being discriminated by a business or industry. I have no problems stating that Korea needs to improve but trying to compare being assaulted and murdered to discrimination is straight up BS. All this does is prove you have zero critical thinking skills and that goes for LWC too. I'm more than glad to share all the wonderful stories of these violent attacks if you'd like. This may, however, trigger your brain-aneurysm.
I come from a developing ‘3rd world’ country and trust me, it’s way better here for foreign workers, unless you are an illegal migrant which of course will get you deported. Ironically we also have ‘Korean only’ restaurants here as well, which caused a lot of protests because it reminds us of the ‘Indians and dogs not allowed’ signs the Brits put up outside their restaurants during the British rule.
Korea is one of the worst places to work for in the entertainment industry in the world. K-pop has a lot of darkness attached to it. Forget about K-pop fandoms. Bullying is an acceptable culture in that country so equality and being open minded is lacking in that country, GENERALLY.
It’s good to see Asian Americans being recognized in America. I’m glad the same is starting to happen to non-Asians in Asian countries. If you’re great and can help the nation, your race/religion is irrelevant. You belong there for sure!
Asia is a broad term addressing to the entirety of asian continent that have many colours which would be a different outcome in this scenario, but for this I think the right term is east asia.
@pancakestac Asians just had Anti Asian Racism bills passed, BTS came to the White House, and Affirmative Action was put in place during the Civil Rights era for Black people that faced years on top of years of inequality and being barred from the same schools White people were which left them behind. Stop whining about it or don’t come to America if it makes you so mad.
@pancakestac A bunch of Asian Americans are targeting Affirmative Action to try and get into college instead of what’s really barring them from getting in to top colleges. Legacy Admissions which is primarily responsible for getting White children into Ivy Leagues and we all know why.
Welcome to the entire slave country which is South Korea. Corporations literally have that population hostage with inhumane working hours and conditions. Hopefully this video can cast a small light on what’s really going on there for not just the foreign entertainers, but the all the people there.
I knew something was odd when one squid game cast member actually literally had to go back to his regular job of driving a taxi or something even after the show blew up.
Yes the people there really need to wake up and have a cultural revolution, where they no longer accept the parasitic corporations that enslave them. It’s estimated that 85% of working age Koreans would like to leave that country. - Probably a number higher than North Korea!
.baffling as to why they would agree to work without signing a contract. like it seems illogical for me. they got their visa. some agent must have casted them for a show, read a script and interviewed. so most rational thing is sign a contract before agreeing on the project..
Korea isn't actually the country of your dreams as most of you may have thought. I loved the country too but after hearing all the racism and harrasment the foreigners experienced there in day to day life really opened my eyes. Specially since I'm an Indian i came to know how Koreans literally look down on Indians. In TH-cam videos of Koreans about India you can see 100% of the comments saying horrible and disgusting stuff about India. Appearances are deceptive and that's why they may look beautiful and soft from outside because of all the makeup and plastic but from inside they are very racist and ugly. I'm sorry if it hurts any Koreans feelings but this is true for 90% of them. 🙏🏻 Also if you don't believe me just search in TH-cam.
@@minmeantea3067 I'm indian American recently Indian's facing heavy Racism from western countries mainly Hindus getting targeted for their religious beliefs people calling them Nazis, Cancelling them in university
Yeah that’s completely understandable but I also feel sad for the guy who is married to a Korean, has kids etc. That guy has basically legally integrated on paper, yet half of his kids culture will treat his own kid like shit
Every country has its own problem... In korea, culture and art industry is one of the most abusive fields and also has lot of payment issue and sexual issue
I can´t believe people still didn´t get that entertainment, so singers, actors, and models are an industry that contains these kinds of things *everywhere* in the world.
@@chrisc1184 not really every bylaw that the Koreans are breaking that the foreigners are complaining about is covered under the screen actors Guild… We went through all of this shit in the 50s through the 90s so we fixed all of those loopholes… The Koreans did not.
As a proud korean, this is one of the issues that are plaguing korea that saddens me. Korea is on a precipice of becoming a major world power, yet it suffers from several severe human rights violations. Even though I recognize that these issues are shared by other countries around the world, it doesn't matter. We have to be better regardless of happenstance around the world. With that said, kudos to korean times for covering this unbiased.
@@Rajesh_Singh301 I am not korean but considering South Korea has a population of 40-50 million they went from the poorest country after being a victim of many invasions and war to top 10 world's economic and first world country. They have the highest rate of graduation , fastest internet in the world, leading in technology. I am assuming you are from India. Even with a population over 1 billion Indians your country is nowhere successful as South Korea.
@@gchild123 Though I'm an Indian I will agree with , it's sad but true that though India has the second largest population in the world they are yet it become a developed country , it frustrates me cause both India and Korea had suffered same kind of things but now look where Korea is and India , hope India will become overcome this😣
@@gchild123 India has more influence than Korea that is called as world power not korea dude. Infact korea is going to collapse due to ageing. USA UK France India Russia Japan can be called as world powers due to strong economy leaders popularity and military
to put it simply, foreigners in South Korea are treated like commodity by the legal system. it's good to see people speak up against the widespread injustice.
Well done. First I saw the documentary about women being SA in SK and there´s no even a law for foreigners, this is so unbeliavable. Same goes for Japan and China. I hope we can see a change in the near future.
Isn't it ironic that BTS went to the USA to talk about Asian inclusivity meanwhile their country is excluding foreigners. No hate againt BTS, I'm a fan and OT7 bias. Just pointing out their country need some work when it comes to inclusivity and discrimination.
Not even a close comparison. In America, random ppl shoving and beating up elderly Asians just for being Asian. Koreans do not beat up elderly foreigners just for being foreign. Hate Crime vs. Unfair Migrant Law. Even in America, migrants get treated worse or less pay than say actors or business ppl.... they need to adapt to the language and skill that pays more. That is also true anywhere in the world. If you can barely speak German, you can't expect to get paid same as German workers unless you have a skill that is desirable
I know what you are trying to say but i have to reiterate to you like i had to others that said similar things. Violent hate crimes do not compare to discrimination. Both are bad but trying to draw some equivalency to both is dishonest. And the people that are trying to diminish the weight of what's happening to asians in the states bc of koreas issues is disgusting (not saying that's what you r doing).
@@chrisc1184 Just like BTS said, they went to the USA to lend a voice and their platform to both Asian hate AND Asian inclusion. I'm focusing on the inclusion part which is ironic because their country is very exclusionary. However as I pointed out, it's less about them and more about highlighting the irony.
Honestly majority of jobs in Korea don't provide contracts and if they do give a contract be careful what you sign. Even so call contracts are not honor. Contracts is really a western thing. I'm glad you are raising your voices. Its my opinion that its difficult for foreigners in Korea. The jobs and pay are limited.
@@sandragiant777I hope they get contracts. But after getting a contract people should be careful what they sign. Just getting a contract, to just get one shouldn't be the main purpose. Getting a good contract should be the main goal.
@@ahgavlive4517 I am not saying that because you have a contract , means that you are exclude of malice , as a person you have the obligation to read before to sign however that contract is a proof that you can present in case of you have to deal with justice
I've seen John Michaels in many Korean dramas. He gave me inspiration to want to move to Korea to work, but realized a lot of people were giving warning against it. I listened and glad I did. If I ended up in a situation where I was potentially forced to go to bars or clubs I would have been deported and lost my shit. I was sexually assaulted when I was younger and there is no way anyone should be subjected or exploited for these Hollywood type of dirty ass people. The reason I didn't want to work in Hollywood was due to the sexualization and abuses that happen. I've always been disappointed and disenchanted by Korea for this...not just for foreigners but for the numerous Korean young women who were subjected to power plays by people. Sometimes...I sort of wish Park Bo Gum's Record of Youth scene where the gay designer wanted to sponsor him and make him big star took the wrong turn, and he played a role that pointed out the flaws of Korean entertainment instead of writers or production of Record of Youth taking a softer approach. There are so many kdramas I've watched that give us stories about powerful vs the vulnerable but the society who manages the talent are just as sick as these shows we watch. Hypocrisy is the real pandemic in this world.
Nobody is being forced to go to bars or clubs in korea...if you put yourself in the entertainment industry there is a chance it may happen as it comes with that kind of territory unfortunately.
There are seedy areas in all parts of the world.... why would you expect it to be different in Korea? There are mafias and gangs doing illicit activity in every city on Earth. Don't talk about hypocrisy.... stop being naive. And why would the kdrama storyline go into the seedy places if that's not the storyline?? Although there are plenty of gangster and movies where it is not that rosy...I mean did you not hear of Old Boy? Or Squid Game? Or Parasite? Memories of Murder? Stop judging Korea based on only the kdramas you decided to watch.
Finally, I've watched so many videos of foreigners explaining why they hate working I korea and are leaving.I also thought about this the other day after hearing the BTSs' speech like no hate or anything but I found it ironic how they were talking about Asian hate while (ex:)their country doesn't even allow foreigners in clubs. I think they should also speak up about shit like this happening in their country to their citizens and to their fans too.
The problem with the world is they only see good thing about korea so when they go there they finally wake up in reality in fact east asian countries are racist towards southeast asians we all know that before kpop/kdrama is huge we dont have a good positive views about east asian people they are homogenous with also different culture we also hate the fact that people from western country generalize as an asian from china or any other east asian countries etc we dont want to be part of them
They can speak but knowing how the government throws them under the bus and ignoring their influence. It’s been like belittling them from the start of their career.
When i heard BTS came to the US white house to talk about racism i was so stunned i laughed out loud. It definitely made me think of the verse: "how can you say, 'brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye. First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
And why are you bringing BTS into this as usual from the haters? BTS is coming in because Asian americans are being assaulted and killed. Classic whataboutism when these are two different issues. Are foreigners being assaulted and killed like in the US and in parts of Europe? Nope. Didn't think so.
@@chrisc1184 yep, they are. Guess what Chris, bad people exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence. I have no problem with discussing racism, but it should be by actual Asian Americans who experience it. Bts getting involved makes no sense because they are not American, that's why I laughed. If they want to make a positive change about racism they should focus on their own country, which they know a lot more about and have experiences with. I think the same thing with americans going to koreas blue house and criticizing it. How does that make me a hater?
@@marge2980 Okay Marge 😂Let me gaslight you as well. Unfortunately, discriminatory business owners exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence. Most of the people here in the comments section are not even living in Korea and should focus on racial issues in their own country. /s Ahem... Anyways, BTS are influential and looked upon by many Asian Americans. There is zero harm in them talking about violent Asian American hate crimes. And it always helps to have influential figures no matter where they originate to talk about such serious issues. You act like influential figures talking about these issues have zero positive impact when it's actually the opposite. Due to many figures talking about these issues, I see more people taking a stand when people are talking about Asians in a negative way or threatening them whereas they may not have been so understanding. Before, many Asian Americans would often be gaslighted when talking about their issues about racial violence such as "what are you complaining about, you're privileged" and "you didn't even have it as bad as Black people." So yes, when they are lending their voice about hate crimes, it does make a difference. And you getting so affected about them talking about these issues does make you a hater. I mean why else would you bring a negative and snarky energy to this thread?
@@chrisc1184 yep you are right, there are racists, sexists, and bigots of all kind in any place where human beings exist. Sad but true. And yes, i think the americans in the comments section should focus on improving the US. But online comments do not equal going to the white house and making a speech there. There is a different weight and significance inherently with things in the white house, and a political edge. If BTS was making commentary online, or even at their american concerts/interviews, it would be a different matter. You seem to be miffed that i am not simping for BTS? I have no problem with them as artists, I've heard about how hard they worked and am glad they got success. I'm an American, we love a good underdog story. Doesn't change anything i said in my comment though about foreigners, especially celebrity foreigners, making social commentaries at the US white house or Korean Blue house. I don't think it's appropriate for non americans to go to the white house to comment on american social problems, and the same for the opposite situation in the Korean blue house. If one direction went to make social commentary at the Korean blue house, i would laugh at them equally. Honestly were the schedules of all the Asian American celebrities so packed that the only option was to ask foreigners?
My limited experience with Koreans wasn't really good, I believe how they treat those artists is just part of their Culture I just hope non of you waste a lot of time in that country or build Unrealistic future plans
honestly what i've seen from koreans isn't really good too. The only side of korea where they seem good is their pop and movie industry, which is ironic, because all of it is fake. Mysogony and sexism seen in korean people and their society is horrendeous, the same goes for homophobia, racism, colorism and other societal issues. As many others, the goverment is corrupt, laws for abuse extremely lax, bullying in schools is a very serious issue, and the people are stuck in the past. Not to mention the overly "respectful" culture where you can't make a real friend who's older than you because there are very strict boundaries between people. Korea has a lot of catching up to do. I just hope young women and girls will inform themselves more and decide not to endanger their lives in order to find their perfect oppa who doesn't exist.
@@oneofthosemoments4564 I just remembered the story of how bullies killed a half Russian (I think) boy ,they were supposed to be his "friends"!!! Just because he is mixed race! It seems koreans think all this is normal and acceptable which is not!
Yeah they do that to Koreans too and it’s sad. Especially if that person happens to be married to a Korean person and they have a mixed race kid it’s not good…
There's a song in Tamil: even if it's heaven, it won't be like your mother country. But with globalisation, more and more expats seem to be on the rise and it's laughable how expats are looked upon like status symbols in my country India.
@@quenchtv5436 Also go look up where people were discriminated in clubs in Germany, UK, Italy on tiktok and travel forums. Go look up how people were blocked from services in Thailand on youtube. A simple search should suffice if you have the brain power to do it. Have the maturity to understand that discrimination, racism and hate exists in every country. Some countries might be better than others but to pretend that yours is suddenly exempt and Korea is the worst place in the world (it's not) is a joke. We can talk about Korea's problems but let's stop the pretending that whatever country your from doesn't have similar issues too in some form (even if they are better at covering them up). Thanks ;)
@@chrisc1184 Yeah but in the United States they are never covered up, everything will be made public even right down to Donald Trump Flushing government documents down the toilet… Even the president is not exempt from criticism in Korea the defamation laws currently on the books allow you to be arrested even if it is true. They also have no anti-discrimination laws on the books, they can not rent an apartment to you because you’re black or deny you a job because you are a single mom, which you cannot do in the United States. The single mom thing would be protected under title VII in the United States as well as age discrimination which is quite common in Korea which you cannot do in the United States. You cannot fire someone or refuse to hire them because of their age. You would have to come up with another reason. In Korea they can do whatever they want to you regardless because those laws don’t exist. As far as places that are worse yeah there’s a lot in comparison to the US for instance China comes to mind… Considering the amount of human rights violations that they have done thus far.
Thank you for speaking out about these issues on this channel in English too. I watched the Korean live when the debate on foreign rights happened, but this is good to make those who don't speak Korean aware of the poor protection of foreign artists in Korea as well.
Korea is overall not a good place to work. Even locals are abused and overworked by their employers. I can’t imagine what foreigners goes through. There are a lot of aspect of Kculture that I love, but I’m also aware of the many social issues the country faces. I’ve been there twice and it’s a country I love to visit, but will not likely be somewhere I’ll ever settle down.
No one ask to include foreigners specifically its discrimination however they should include all artist Korean native and no Korean that it. I do not remember in western countries to have that distinction. A country made of glass beautiful only outside
i noticed that the greek girl, they had her hair peroxided for the commercial with japanese and even lightened her skin even more. its so bizarre. their entire society is closed off ( mentally )
It's funny how korean people are so not in the favours of foreigners but at the same time want the best treatment and safety for korean artist world wide.. Like hypocrisy level beyond comprehension. They'd go crazy if a korean artist is not treated in the right way in foreign countries(spl bts like it's okay if they didn't win but no people went mad as if that's the only thing that bts deserve) but won't accept foreign artist in their country.. Like they really need to grow up
Thank you. Yes, BTS will be coming back as grasshoppers jumping rope and singing kid songs while eating corn. Copying Black Americans style is too hard. They could not master the art.

👏👏👏👏 to them. Yes, Korea's entertainment is getting bigger than ever. They should also adapt and improve. This would not only make Korea into a more attractive workplace, but also bring fairness and protection for the foreigner artists. 👏👏👏👏👏✊
Considering Korean-national Kpop singers reportedly sign "slave contracts" and don't make much money, it's probably not a good idea for foreigners to do business in Korea without signing a contract.
Yeah that’s what I don’t understand the Koreans who are complaining about foreigners making a fuss about this when they do that to their own people… If anything the Koreans should be championing the foreigners complaining about this because the Koreans don’t have a voice.
If Koreans like Jiwoo or BTS shared there experience of anti Asian racism in the US on visits which they should rightfully share and raise awareness, then foreigner's deserve the same right to express the discrimination they face
Fascinating...who knew there was such a disparity in the way non-nationals are treated in the entertainment industry. If this is happening in the entertainment industry to well-educated and articulate people imagine how other non-Koreans in other jobs are exploited? Korea exploited their Hallyu Wave to increase their economic standingand now they have to start examining their laws and practices as the wider world casts an eye on Korea!
Cultural how are they in the Stone Age? And diversity? Why does Korea need to be diverse? We have seen what diversity has done to places like Germany, Sweden, Norway, France, Belgium, Great Britain, and other western countries.
Korea created Hallyu and it’s being seen all over the world. People from all over are learning Korea’s culture. I am not surprised that foreigners who lives in Korea will see the positive and negative things surrounding them. I think this is the time to learn too. Change is not always bad. Equality is being fought for by people everywhere. Hopefully, we learn from one another.
it's so unfortunate how people are telling these artists to go back to their country, they don't want to admit the exploitation that is happening in South Korea. Why not make a better place for everyone? Alas people in SK are not able to build a better place for their own citizens, how will they look out for foreigners.

What right these men have to do that.?They are feeling entitled. They cant even do that in other countries, but only in their country because they think their crime isnt a crime. Sk Justice sytem fail victims, thats a given, esp to foreign victims esp if they dont speak korean.
If I was in Korea I won’t be loving to stay there if they treated without my rights as human beings. We all work hard that’s why it is important to be treated equally. It’s not fair Korea.
3:38 Fighting for your own rights or survival is natural animalistic instinct. But fighting for the rights of others is superior, humanitarian, Godly and praiseworthy. Big ups Korean Artists👏👏👏👍💪
As this is mostly all western foreigners in this protest i would be interested to see what the foreign idols (of which there are many now) experience as i have heard that foreign idols do tend to be treated worse than their korean counterparts. However, im sure these idols dont have the ability to voice their opinion like this so it may remain a mystery
I can't believe some comments are talking about foreigners or locals when they're all just *people* People deserve basic respect. It doesn't matter where they're from.
lets not forget "MODERN" korean culture and entertainment takes and has roots in a lot of forgien influence. its not right that everyone is being used for their work
How do i say this but even Korean themselves been abused in so many ways, what makes you think they'll treat foreigner even better?😭😭 It's good you all speak up about this. Hopefully, this will get more attention. 🙏 Good luck!
Definitely! It's substantially worse for foreigners on certain types of visas. I don't often see anyone rallying on their behalf, sadly. Those brought from struggling countries to do so called "dirty jobs', in particular. I recognize that Korea is by no means alone in this crappy practice.
That's right, in some other nations it probably does, and I think we can agree that's bad. And in some other entirely different nations things like this do not happen or are at least protected by laws, and I think we could agree that's good. Which group of nations would you rather that Korea be associated with?
Remember that South Korean got democracy because of south East Asian blood and American blood,,don’t you dare to compare to other nations,,today South Korean enjoyed democracy because of our father blood,, don’t you dare to compare,
Which one ?😂😂 give me a name because I do not remember any country in western side give job without contract . It’s illegal and you can pay a lot of money to government if they catch you . Even a student job , you have a contract , we have organization specialized to the right of student and it’s free . If you have any complain you can go there and have access to attorney to help you so stop thinking that the behavior of South Korean is everywhere.
Finally i start to see people that put more video about the REAL korea. Now i wish they start to do this for the foreigner that work in factories or farms!! This is where you see the deep dark side of Korea. Also lets talk about the corrupt, sexist and racist police, how many times i saw and heard about a foreign girls that get almost raped or raped by a korean boy and korean girls accusing foreign boy just for money while everyone around knows its fake, but for police if you foreigner even if you are a victim you stand no chance, they will do everything to not help you and if they have no choice they will try to tell you to just forget it because it will make trouble for their dear (rapists and evil b*tchs) korean citizens...
WOW this must be going on around the world. I'm in the US and have seen this way to many times. When is enough enough... We're all human as we all should be treated like human regardless of race regardless I'd where we live and want to live at...
it's funny that when their artists go abroad, they get treated as per internationally signed agreements. Their artists and sports personas and professors etc.... Only in Korea, guys, only in Korea!
If no one speaks out and starts spreading the word - nothing will change. Many people may say that in other countries is worse or that they have never signed a contract or they did sign a contract but under duress and everyone knows about it blah blah blah. So what? Just because its the norm ( which is sad) it should stay like this??
There are many korean idols who have also been robbed under this system. There is no transparancy or communication at all. It is very much a corrupt system. It's unethical most of the time.
Yeah the contracts where they get robbed of up to 80% of the profits. Elieen from crayon pop talked about that as did all the girls from Pledis/ Pristin...
This is so bad! I hope Korean government can befair on foreign workers in general since these workers also offered their fair share of the job. A contract is a must!
So glad to have been a member of SAG/AFTRA here in the US for the last 47 years. No production company here would dare to pull that kind of crap on actors or performers. Whenever I had a problem, the union was there to go to bat for me and I'll always be grateful.
Wow that’s crazy.. most not signing a contract for any kind of work? I’ve never heard that before. Obviously the people who does want to take advantage of the artist.
Everyone who immigrate to a foreign country deserve the same rights as all citizens there.You have to adapt to the culture, to the language, they have family there,they have rights too, is time we start treating each other with respect, that is the first step if we want to change this world for a better future for the next generation.My respect to all of you.
In this video, they are talking about abuse, contract etc. But actually they want to stay and work (other work) in Korea on their E-6 (entertainment visa) visa without contract. It means after finishing their job, they just want to live and work here on E-6 visa. How about get another visa that can stay here. Is it weird to go home after finishing contract? Because E-6 is made by that purpose.
Have been reading through lots of comments and see people trying to compare Asian Hate Crimes in US and the discrimination addressed in this video. Yes, hate crimes in the US in general tend to be violent, and therefore there are repercussions in place for those actions. If I were to walk up to someone, beat them, I would be arrested for assault, tried in a court of law, and punished. That law is in place no matter the nationality. The law may not be perfect, need to be strengthend or what not, but at least that behavior is recognized as wrong. From what I gathered in this segment foreigners are legally unprotected for the same work done as (no one said they were doing less than or something wrong) a Korean citizen. Discrimination is not recognized as wrong in this case. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with westerners trying to change Korean culture (seeing that a lot in the comments). I am seeing people comment " well they do this, so why should I care". This is where every individual has a choice to elevate their thinking and take the opportunity to show empathy and compassion toward their fellow human being. In order for that to happen (goes for both sides of the argument) you have to be willing to listen. Really listen and process before speaking. My challenge to everyone.
I like how Korea Times has a lot of integrity. Their reporting is pretty fair. Unlike say Asian Boss. Just compare their coverage of the #cancelKorea movement in the Philippines. Thanks Korea Times.
They have the high standard to beauty lowest attitude towards foreigners, have watched some vlogs about foreign teachers and how they were treated so bad.. wow just wow! Yet their korean idols were praised tsk tsk

The comment section reflects exactly how the people here in Korea react to any kind of complain by foreigners. These artists have already gone through a tough time gathering the courage to speak up and here you see people wanting them to just shut up. It's ridiculous.
Yes sir, it surely does. Thank you!
Totally true but then again some of them are just annoying Korea boo that’s trying so hard to embed them self in the Korean culture when they know they will never truly be Koreans. Get over it and grow up Korea is not as it cracked out to be as you think it is, they got their issue to as you can.
No, that seems to be a minority. Being an artist is incredibly hard. Artists deserve rights in both Korea, US, and wherever.
@@chrisc1184 I suspect he's talking about typical reactions from Korean netizens to articles discussing foreigners in Korea. I agree with you regarding "being an artist". Every time there is an article discussing the treatment of expats in Korea, these types of comments are very common. I'd love to think that Korean as a whole believe what you wrote, but the comments I see here are typical of what I always see, albeit, it's much improved from a couple of years ago. Much improved.
@@kellyfrances4943 netizens are usually negative ppl w nothing to do. When u talk to irl ppl that are functioning members of society, the response is diff. Negative minded ppl often will engage in bs while positive ppl are going about their life. You can understand why comments sections are filled w negativity.
The same goes for netizens of other countries that seem to have a sick joy out of pointing out problems in korea with zero awareness that some things are objectively worse or equally bad in their home countries.
It's usually reflected in their tone and most of the time they don't even live in korea. On the flip side, most foreigners in korea are going about their life and living positively, and not spewing hatred.
They want to be treated equal in the Western World but does not want to treat foreign workers in their Country equal that’s double standards indeed
I am sure they would not want BTS and other artists that comes to the US to be treated fraudulent
Hypocrites
BINGO!!! You hit it right on the nail
That’s it!
Facts 💯
This article will make Koreans including me listen foreign inhabitants' voice and their rights as a tax payer. You,foreign residents, deserve speaking up your Deal in Korea. That's obviously discrimination. It's shame. Korean people and Korea Gov. listen to THIS. I absolutely support YOU, foreign artists.
Will it? This video particularly?
Can you confirm if there has been articles made in Korean language.
Because this video is in English which means it is inaccessable to Koreans,( it doesn't even have Korea subtitle)
This video seems to be looking to get international support more than to inform Koreans themselves.
@@maheshpun4804 MANY in Korean language - that was the problem, the coverage was all in Korean, so this sole English coverage was valuable and appreciated. Thank you for asking.
The phrase to be written in bold letters and underlined here is “taxpaying foreigner.” The Korean government take money from them, they recognize their rights and protect it.
I am glad that they spoke up about this, and i do support you for this. It is a good message to foreigners who plan to come to Korea, to think and know what it is really like in the entertainment industry there. It is sad that they black list artists for speaking up.
Or deport them like they did to Sam O.
Why would anyone go to that shithole country in the first place?
I want to educate you! This is the standard that is the norm everywhere, including in Hollywood. Nobody signs contracts for extras and gigs in Hollywood or in any other western entertainment countries. I have worked for seven years as gigs in Hollywood, I never signed any contract and yes I am a foreigner in America. So stop nitpicking Korea. Why should Korean entertainment industry follow any international obligations when nobody else follows it! Including America. You are a naive kid and lot to learn about adult business. Besides if all the extras and gigs are given individual (non exploitative) contracts than Hollywood would have long been bankrupt. So Korea is no different.
@@elangbam3115 Let ME educate you. Several of the actors in Netflix's Squid Game weren't allowed to sign contracts, either. I work in both countries (as a foreigner in both), and I've never not signed a contract in the US when I requested one. Perhaps you're being naive. Sure, we do non union gigs here and there without bothering, but even the student films I've acted in had contracts.
@@kellyfrances4943 really ho ho maybe that has to do with you being actual American. I am not American, and foereigner extras, stuntman etc don't have the luxury of signing contract. Atleast it is not given to us. The agency will simply say okay you don't want it we will hire someone else
To those expressing disgust that "foreigners are trying to change Korea or enforce their cultural values on Korea", pls note that a common and arguably the most damaging offense (contract fraud) is tied to the same international agreement that protects BTS when they're abroad. These are not "special provisions" being requested - just compliance with the law.
don't like Korea? Get out of Korea!! 🇰🇷
LOL that is definitely NOT what they are trying to do! can't believe people actually think that...
@@elangbam3115 its not americans who altered korea. korea for sucking money from america n west started focusing on pop culture.
@@anamika3678 I agree with u.
@@elangbam3115 Respectfully, Nothing wrong with you stating your opinon, but I am unsure how that addresses that lack of adherence to the law. That is what my comment addressed.
while the k-culture is very much embraced by people around the world, Korea is abusing it at the expense of foreigners. how ironic is that?!
Yes, cause the West doesnt abuse workers. 🙄🙄🙄 Its a global problem. How many foreign workers literally DIED due to bad work conditions, building the new stadiums in Qatar for the next World Cup to the silence of the world?
Jews have been doing that to every race for decades and not a peep..easy deflect technique by calling it antisemitism
@Fire Haze it only mean not only white people are racist
sounds like white ppl
Glad this issue is brought up.
Korea isn't all rainbows and oppas.
Also, why does this have low views. We need to share this!
lol. not surprising. i lived in korea for 7yrs. i've experienced more racism in korea as a southeast asian man than in the US where I have lived for 20yrs.
SAY IT LOUDER 🤯🤯🤯
There is a Korean translator right next to them who is translating everything they say. Why are people complaining about them not protesting in Korean? They want their message to be as clear as possible so they hired a Korean person to translate. This is for both English speaking and Korean media sources to report on. Also, if they are being casted in Korean productions shouldn't they be treated normally like other actors? They are there because Korean filmmakers want them to be there. If there wasn't a market for foreign actors they would not even be doing this. If Korean actors were experiencing this in any other country the Korean public wouldnt stand for it. Perhaps there should be some empathy towards human beings just trying to make a living in your country.
"Its here that i will get old and die"
Its exactly how you said. Honestly, South Korea is a pretty developed country (i know that it may fall under developed but still) and for them to still have this moronic situations that doesnt get fixxed just bcs of incompetent and useless politicians is unbelievable
People are making that argument in a rude manner (not asking about it as a genuine question) do so because they lack a valid argument otherwise and resent the people they see. It's the sort of irrelevant, cognitively lazy thing that bullies point out when they don't want to admit "I am a racist" or "I resent the presence of foreigners in Korea and don't care to understand them" or (even worse), "I just like to be nasty and this is all I could bother to observe".
While your opinion is completely valid and true, Koreans have never been able to protest in their own language anywhere else in the world. Even in countries like the US where it's supposedly the melting pot of cultures, Koreans face an overwhelming pressure to speak English for any of their concerns or protests.
@@koguy2 I agree! Both my statement and what you're saying can be true at the same time. If Koreans in America want to speak Korean and use a translator to get their point across they should have the right to and no one should think that is a reason to not listen to their message.
@@koguy2 It would be wonderful if places like America were truly inclusive that way. I imagine it would be tough to be effective if one protested in Korean in a place like America. We needed English language media in at least one instance in this case - though there were likely upwards of 15 Korean language news articles written about this event, which was largely conducted in Korean. One of my main concerns was that no one is educating those abroad who are potential targets for unethical recruiters. There is a growing visa milling problem right now, and it can be found on social media. Regardless, I appreciate and respect your feelings. I truly enjoy seeing how Korean cultural curiosity and appreciation is growing rapidly these days and I've never seen more interest in it! ^^ When I first moved to Korea in 2000, it was very different! Best wishes to you sir.
For people wondering why they're protesting in English, it's probably to get some international attention to this issue since Korea usually doesn't do anything unless they risk losing face internationally 🤷♀🤷♀ Remember how the foreigner only covid testing rule didn't get revoked until international media found out about it?
i am currently in kenya , and you get contracts here for EVERYTHING . imagine Korea being so advanced and practicing basic racism from the 1950s and then pretend its foreigners that are being difficult.
i am thinking the reason no black people appears in this video is because they don't get hired for TV extra roles in the first place since Korea places premium on white skin. its a terrible predicament to be in. i'll probably scratch Korea off my list frankly.
JUST GO HOME ! they come all the way to our land and far east to be artists !
even 2nd 3rd generation of south asians and the middle easterners !
No. They are protesting in Eglish because they can't speak Korean, the native language of the country they work and reside in. Imagine if Koreans in [insert any English-speaking country] protested in Korean, that country's media would have a field day and blame these foreigners (Koreans) for not speaking English. So, please stop making excuses for these culturally inept people.
@@iu2 But the guy with the long hair said he speaks korea, learned their culture, married a native and even have children. Did you watch a different vid or something?
@@iu2 international rubbish keep pouring into far east while able people are NOT BREEDING ! there is NOT going to be an ASIAN CENTURY AT ALL !
LWC was right in saying that it's ironic that BTS spoke in America against crimes against Asian Americans when Korea is just as bad and worse against foreigners. Instead of preaching to people of a different country, they should have instead preached to their own. Bullying, harassment, blacklisting, so much is going on against foreigners in Korea. Some establishments like clubs won't even allow you inside if you're a foreigner. They don't have laws that criminalize discrimination in places of business. This is the 21st Century and Korea can't even protect Koreans and non-Koreans equally. Excuse me, but what? Is this a developing 3rd world nation?
I live in Greece and we get many tourists here...well Koreans are the first to leave negative reviews on google for places with bad customer service always calling the employees racist. I personally find it hilarious because a)Those places are known to have bad service for everyone and b) you are the ones to talk of racism 🤣...you don't like like it when others do that (allegedly) to you,do you?
Korea is worse? Are you high? Can you tell me where in South Korea young Korean men are trolling the streets, attacking elderly foreign people and killing them? Cause thats what was happening in the US during Covid, and most of the attacks comitted by black men, occasionally black women. I didnt see the black American community rise up and speak out against this but you wonder why foreign black people are then mistreated in Asia? Hello, Koreans have internet. They watch the news. They see elderly Asians being attacked for no reason. You think thats going to foster sympathy? (eye roll)
No it's not. GTFOH. It's absolutely not the same thing. Asian Americans are getting assaulted, murdered, violently robbed, and in some instances r*ped. This is not the same thing as being discriminated by a business or industry. I have no problems stating that Korea needs to improve but trying to compare being assaulted and murdered to discrimination is straight up BS.
All this does is prove you have zero critical thinking skills and that goes for LWC too. I'm more than glad to share all the wonderful stories of these violent attacks if you'd like. This may, however, trigger your brain-aneurysm.
Am with you on that
I come from a developing ‘3rd world’ country and trust me, it’s way better here for foreign workers, unless you are an illegal migrant which of course will get you deported. Ironically we also have ‘Korean only’ restaurants here as well, which caused a lot of protests because it reminds us of the ‘Indians and dogs not allowed’ signs the Brits put up outside their restaurants during the British rule.
Korea is one of the worst places to work for in the entertainment industry in the world. K-pop has a lot of darkness attached to it. Forget about K-pop fandoms. Bullying is an acceptable culture in that country so equality and being open minded is lacking in that country, GENERALLY.
Korea plagiarized country
It’s good to see Asian Americans being recognized in America. I’m glad the same is starting to happen to non-Asians in Asian countries. If you’re great and can help the nation, your race/religion is irrelevant. You belong there for sure!
Asia is a broad term addressing to the entirety of asian continent that have many colours which would be a different outcome in this scenario, but for this I think the right term is east asia.
But it’s only East Asians or specifically just Koreans
FACTS
@pancakestac Asians just had Anti Asian Racism bills passed, BTS came to the White House, and Affirmative Action was put in place during the Civil Rights era for Black people that faced years on top of years of inequality and being barred from the same schools White people were which left them behind. Stop whining about it or don’t come to America if it makes you so mad.
@pancakestac A bunch of Asian Americans are targeting Affirmative Action to try and get into college instead of what’s really barring them from getting in to top colleges. Legacy Admissions which is primarily responsible for getting White children into Ivy Leagues and we all know why.
Welcome to the entire slave country which is South Korea. Corporations literally have that population hostage with inhumane working hours and conditions. Hopefully this video can cast a small light on what’s really going on there for not just the foreign entertainers, but the all the people there.
YES!!!!! Its endemic to the amount of prosperity disparity between generations, as well.
They never change since Joseon 🤦🏻
I knew something was odd when one squid game cast member actually literally had to go back to his regular job of driving a taxi or something even after the show blew up.
Yes the people there really need to wake up and have a cultural revolution, where they no longer accept the parasitic corporations that enslave them. It’s estimated that 85% of working age Koreans would like to leave that country. - Probably a number higher than North Korea!
@@KpopNiDontStop which character in squid 🦑 game?
How can you work without signing a contract? That’s totally unfair and inhumane.
I’m also curious how that’s actually legal, because I don’t think your visa would let you do that but I’m sure it does happen…
.baffling as to why they would agree to work without signing a contract. like it seems illogical for me. they got their visa. some agent must have casted them for a show, read a script and interviewed. so most rational thing is sign a contract before agreeing on the project..
Korea isn't actually the country of your dreams as most of you may have thought. I loved the country too but after hearing all the racism and harrasment the foreigners experienced there in day to day life really opened my eyes. Specially since I'm an Indian i came to know how Koreans literally look down on Indians. In TH-cam videos of Koreans about India you can see 100% of the comments saying horrible and disgusting stuff about India. Appearances are deceptive and that's why they may look beautiful and soft from outside because of all the makeup and plastic but from inside they are very racist and ugly. I'm sorry if it hurts any Koreans feelings but this is true for 90% of them. 🙏🏻
Also if you don't believe me just search in TH-cam.

As a proud korean, this is one of the issues that are plaguing korea that saddens me. Korea is on a precipice of becoming a major world power, yet it suffers from several severe human rights violations. Even though I recognize that these issues are shared by other countries around the world, it doesn't matter. We have to be better regardless of happenstance around the world. With that said, kudos to korean times for covering this unbiased.

Isn't it ironic that BTS went to the USA to talk about Asian inclusivity meanwhile their country is excluding foreigners.
No hate againt BTS, I'm a fan and OT7 bias. Just pointing out their country need some work when it comes to inclusivity and discrimination.
Interestingly, the same international agreement that protects BTS is intended to protect migrant artists.
Which is what people meant when they say clean your own backyard first before your complaint about other people's front yard
Not even a close comparison. In America, random ppl shoving and beating up elderly Asians just for being Asian. Koreans do not beat up elderly foreigners just for being foreign. Hate Crime vs. Unfair Migrant Law. Even in America, migrants get treated worse or less pay than say actors or business ppl.... they need to adapt to the language and skill that pays more. That is also true anywhere in the world. If you can barely speak German, you can't expect to get paid same as German workers unless you have a skill that is desirable
I know what you are trying to say but i have to reiterate to you like i had to others that said similar things. Violent hate crimes do not compare to discrimination. Both are bad but trying to draw some equivalency to both is dishonest. And the people that are trying to diminish the weight of what's happening to asians in the states bc of koreas issues is disgusting (not saying that's what you r doing).
@@chrisc1184 Just like BTS said, they went to the USA to lend a voice and their platform to both Asian hate AND Asian inclusion. I'm focusing on the inclusion part which is ironic because their country is very exclusionary.
However as I pointed out, it's less about them and more about highlighting the irony.
Honestly majority of jobs in Korea don't provide contracts and if they do give a contract be careful what you sign. Even so call contracts are not honor. Contracts is really a western thing. I'm glad you are raising your voices. Its my opinion that its difficult for foreigners in Korea. The jobs and pay are limited.
The point is that, in these situations, they foreigners aren't being given contracts, while the Koreans are. That's what they're complaining about.
@@sandragiant777I hope they get contracts. But after getting a contract people should be careful what they sign. Just getting a contract, to just get one shouldn't be the main purpose. Getting a good contract should be the main goal.

But Idols also sign contracts and they belong to the entertainment industry...
@@ahgavlive4517 I am not saying that because you have a contract , means that you are exclude of malice , as a person you have the obligation to read before to sign however that contract is a proof that you can present in case of you have to deal with justice
Oh my god I"m shocked to learn this. I'm Korean and really sorry that you haven't been treated as you should have. I support all of you.
I've seen John Michaels in many Korean dramas. He gave me inspiration to want to move to Korea to work, but realized a lot of people were giving warning against it. I listened and glad I did. If I ended up in a situation where I was potentially forced to go to bars or clubs I would have been deported and lost my shit. I was sexually assaulted when I was younger and there is no way anyone should be subjected or exploited for these Hollywood type of dirty ass people. The reason I didn't want to work in Hollywood was due to the sexualization and abuses that happen. I've always been disappointed and disenchanted by Korea for this...not just for foreigners but for the numerous Korean young women who were subjected to power plays by people. Sometimes...I sort of wish Park Bo Gum's Record of Youth scene where the gay designer wanted to sponsor him and make him big star took the wrong turn, and he played a role that pointed out the flaws of Korean entertainment instead of writers or production of Record of Youth taking a softer approach. There are so many kdramas I've watched that give us stories about powerful vs the vulnerable but the society who manages the talent are just as sick as these shows we watch. Hypocrisy is the real pandemic in this world.
Hypocritical
@@tatiana-bi5fq What is sweetie? What's hypocritical? Hmmm love?
Nobody is being forced to go to bars or clubs in korea...if you put yourself in the entertainment industry there is a chance it may happen as it comes with that kind of territory unfortunately.
There are seedy areas in all parts of the world.... why would you expect it to be different in Korea? There are mafias and gangs doing illicit activity in every city on Earth. Don't talk about hypocrisy.... stop being naive. And why would the kdrama storyline go into the seedy places if that's not the storyline?? Although there are plenty of gangster and movies where it is not that rosy...I mean did you not hear of Old Boy? Or Squid Game? Or Parasite? Memories of Murder? Stop judging Korea based on only the kdramas you decided to watch.
Finally, I've watched so many videos of foreigners explaining why they hate working I korea and are leaving.I also thought about this the other day after hearing the BTSs' speech like no hate or anything but I found it ironic how they were talking about Asian hate while (ex:)their country doesn't even allow foreigners in clubs. I think they should also speak up about shit like this happening in their country to their citizens and to their fans too.
The problem with the world is they only see good thing about korea so when they go there they finally wake up in reality in fact east asian countries are racist towards southeast asians we all know that before kpop/kdrama is huge we dont have a good positive views about east asian people they are homogenous with also different culture we also hate the fact that people from western country generalize as an asian from china or any other east asian countries etc we dont want to be part of them
They can speak but knowing how the government throws them under the bus and ignoring their influence. It’s been like belittling them from the start of their career.
@@teretch32 That's also true though 🧏🏽♀️
They don't have balls and dicks to speak against their country wrongs.
@@teretch32 are hipocrites...🖕🖕🖕👌👌
When i heard BTS came to the US white house to talk about racism i was so stunned i laughed out loud.
It definitely made me think of the verse: "how can you say, 'brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' while you yourself fail to see the beam in your own eye. First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye."
And why are you bringing BTS into this as usual from the haters? BTS is coming in because Asian americans are being assaulted and killed. Classic whataboutism when these are two different issues. Are foreigners being assaulted and killed like in the US and in parts of Europe? Nope. Didn't think so.
@@chrisc1184 yep, they are. Guess what Chris, bad people exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence.
I have no problem with discussing racism, but it should be by actual Asian Americans who experience it. Bts getting involved makes no sense because they are not American, that's why I laughed. If they want to make a positive change about racism they should focus on their own country, which they know a lot more about and have experiences with. I think the same thing with americans going to koreas blue house and criticizing it.
How does that make me a hater?
@@marge2980 Okay Marge 😂Let me gaslight you as well. Unfortunately, discriminatory business owners exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence. Most of the people here in the comments section are not even living in Korea and should focus on racial issues in their own country. /s
Ahem... Anyways, BTS are influential and looked upon by many Asian Americans. There is zero harm in them talking about violent Asian American hate crimes. And it always helps to have influential figures no matter where they originate to talk about such serious issues.
You act like influential figures talking about these issues have zero positive impact when it's actually the opposite. Due to many figures talking about these issues, I see more people taking a stand when people are talking about Asians in a negative way or threatening them whereas they may not have been so understanding. Before, many Asian Americans would often be gaslighted when talking about their issues about racial violence such as "what are you complaining about, you're privileged" and "you didn't even have it as bad as Black people."
So yes, when they are lending their voice about hate crimes, it does make a difference. And you getting so affected about them talking about these issues does make you a hater. I mean why else would you bring a negative and snarky energy to this thread?
@@chrisc1184 yep you are right, there are racists, sexists, and bigots of all kind in any place where human beings exist. Sad but true.
And yes, i think the americans in the comments section should focus on improving the US. But online comments do not equal going to the white house and making a speech there. There is a different weight and significance inherently with things in the white house, and a political edge. If BTS was making commentary online, or even at their american concerts/interviews, it would be a different matter.
You seem to be miffed that i am not simping for BTS? I have no problem with them as artists, I've heard about how hard they worked and am glad they got success. I'm an American, we love a good underdog story.
Doesn't change anything i said in my comment though about foreigners, especially celebrity foreigners, making social commentaries at the US white house or Korean Blue house. I don't think it's appropriate for non americans to go to the white house to comment on american social problems, and the same for the opposite situation in the Korean blue house.
If one direction went to make social commentary at the Korean blue house, i would laugh at them equally.
Honestly were the schedules of all the Asian American celebrities so packed that the only option was to ask foreigners?
@@chrisc1184 BTS 🤣🤔😗😗😗😗🤡🤡🤡
My limited experience with Koreans wasn't really good, I believe how they treat those artists is just part of their Culture
I just hope non of you waste a lot of time in that country or build Unrealistic future plans
Insightful response!
honestly what i've seen from koreans isn't really good too. The only side of korea where they seem good is their pop and movie industry, which is ironic, because all of it is fake. Mysogony and sexism seen in korean people and their society is horrendeous, the same goes for homophobia, racism, colorism and other societal issues. As many others, the goverment is corrupt, laws for abuse extremely lax, bullying in schools is a very serious issue, and the people are stuck in the past. Not to mention the overly "respectful" culture where you can't make a real friend who's older than you because there are very strict boundaries between people. Korea has a lot of catching up to do. I just hope young women and girls will inform themselves more and decide not to endanger their lives in order to find their perfect oppa who doesn't exist.
@@oneofthosemoments4564 I just remembered the story of how bullies killed a half Russian (I think) boy ,they were supposed to be his "friends"!!! Just because he is mixed race!
It seems koreans think all this is normal and acceptable which is not!
@@sjffhfjcntgj9411 😒😒😒😒😡😡😡
Yeah they do that to Koreans too and it’s sad. Especially if that person happens to be married to a Korean person and they have a mixed race kid it’s not good…
That's why leaving your country is not always good option...
Exactly
There's a song in Tamil: even if it's heaven, it won't be like your mother country. But with globalisation, more and more expats seem to be on the rise and it's laughable how expats are looked upon like status symbols in my country India.
For being so modern and adaptive, Korea really has alot xenophobic policies and attitudes.
Asia has to catch up in this regard. The same problems are found in other asian countries. It's not just korea.
@@chrisc1184 name those countries i dare you this is only happening in east asian countries
@@quenchtv5436 learn to fking read idiot. You don't deserve a response but I'll do u a favor
@@quenchtv5436 Also go look up where people were discriminated in clubs in Germany, UK, Italy on tiktok and travel forums. Go look up how people were blocked from services in Thailand on youtube. A simple search should suffice if you have the brain power to do it.
Have the maturity to understand that discrimination, racism and hate exists in every country. Some countries might be better than others but to pretend that yours is suddenly exempt and Korea is the worst place in the world (it's not) is a joke.
We can talk about Korea's problems but let's stop the pretending that whatever country your from doesn't have similar issues too in some form (even if they are better at covering them up).
Thanks ;)
@@chrisc1184 Yeah but in the United States they are never covered up, everything will be made public even right down to Donald Trump Flushing government documents down the toilet… Even the president is not exempt from criticism in Korea the defamation laws currently on the books allow you to be arrested even if it is true.
They also have no anti-discrimination laws on the books, they can not rent an apartment to you because you’re black or deny you a job because you are a single mom, which you cannot do in the United States. The single mom thing would be protected under title VII in the United States as well as age discrimination which is quite common in Korea which you cannot do in the United States. You cannot fire someone or refuse to hire them because of their age. You would have to come up with another reason.
In Korea they can do whatever they want to you regardless because those laws don’t exist. As far as places that are worse yeah there’s a lot in comparison to the US for instance China comes to mind… Considering the amount of human rights violations that they have done thus far.
Thank you for speaking out about these issues on this channel in English too. I watched the Korean live when the debate on foreign rights happened, but this is good to make those who don't speak Korean aware of the poor protection of foreign artists in Korea as well.
Thank you. Your support is part of the reason profess is being made. You’re appreciated!
Korea is overall not a good place to work. Even locals are abused and overworked by their employers. I can’t imagine what foreigners goes through. There are a lot of aspect of Kculture that I love, but I’m also aware of the many social issues the country faces. I’ve been there twice and it’s a country I love to visit, but will not likely be somewhere I’ll ever settle down.
That's why some koreans want to immigrate out. The govt has failed in quality of life issues.
At this point I don’t see why anyone would go to Korea for that type of career.
No one ask to include foreigners specifically its discrimination however they should include all artist Korean native and no Korean that it. I do not remember in western countries to have that distinction. A country made of glass beautiful only outside
i noticed that the greek girl, they had her hair peroxided for the commercial with japanese and even lightened her skin even more. its so bizarre. their entire society is closed off ( mentally )
Well this explains why so many foreign actors on their kdramas suck. They blacklist the talented ones who deserve contracts.
Good work everyone! Hopefully things can change and contracts can become the norm
Specially girls arround the world to see that korea is not at all lovey dobey,sweet,heaven which is been shown in dramas,please be cautious.
It's funny how korean people are so not in the favours of foreigners but at the same time want the best treatment and safety for korean artist world wide.. Like hypocrisy level beyond comprehension.
They'd go crazy if a korean artist is not treated in the right way in foreign countries(spl bts like it's okay if they didn't win but no people went mad as if that's the only thing that bts deserve) but won't accept foreign artist in their country.. Like they really need to grow up
Hipocrites
so that Koreans do not ask for respect from everyone while abroad, lock them up in their country and enjoy their homogeneity
Fact 💯
Thank you. Yes, BTS will be coming back as grasshoppers jumping rope and singing kid songs while eating corn. Copying Black Americans style is too hard. They could not master the art.
after they said in the White house that all Americans are racist, when their own country really is....he should be banned from entering the US😉😉😉😉😉😉😁😁😁
@@tatiana-bi5fq Yeah, that White House visit got me, like, you copying ass little fuckers!!!! Got the nerve!!!!!!!!!!!! With a Black immigrant gushing like she stupid. Right on, sister.
👏👏👏👏 to them. Yes, Korea's entertainment is getting bigger than ever. They should also adapt and improve. This would not only make Korea into a more attractive workplace, but also bring fairness and protection for the foreigner artists. 👏👏👏👏👏✊
True, they can all improve it if there is a will on both side. People should accept criticism and work on what can be done.
I support these… good luck. You deserve proper contract.
Considering Korean-national Kpop singers reportedly sign "slave contracts" and don't make much money, it's probably not a good idea for foreigners to do business in Korea without signing a contract.
Anime syndrome
You don’t do business without signing a contract anywhere in the world!!! And don’t travel without a back up plan and thousands of dollars!!!
Yeah that’s what I don’t understand the Koreans who are complaining about foreigners making a fuss about this when they do that to their own people… If anything the Koreans should be championing the foreigners complaining about this because the Koreans don’t have a voice.
Time to change Korea. 함께 해요.
Ranias Ex Member Alex is supporting this too! You can see her holding the banner. You go girl!
I don't watch K-drama or K-pop or anything Korean, except Train to Busan. I've been to Jeju Island, cool place for tourists. That's all I have.
Oh, that was a good movie
I support this. Didn't know such bull shit existed in Korea. SHAME!
korea is reallybad
Wow! Finally! I’m glad they are able to come together and standup a protest so they can be heard! I hope this will be the beginning of change!
Koreans be like *oh so you think you are a special snowflake*
@@PHlophe I think that S. Korean hated foreigners but can not do anything because they need foreigners to perform what they can not do!
If Koreans like Jiwoo or BTS shared there experience of anti Asian racism in the US on visits which they should rightfully share and raise awareness, then foreigner's deserve the same right to express the discrimination they face
Hipocrites
Open your eyes, Koreans.
This includes all kind of jobs foreigners do in Korea
Fascinating...who knew there was such a disparity in the way non-nationals are treated in the entertainment industry.
If this is happening in the entertainment industry to well-educated and articulate people imagine how other non-Koreans in other jobs are exploited?
Korea exploited their Hallyu Wave to increase their economic standingand now they have to start examining their laws and practices as the wider world casts an eye on Korea!
Korea has been like that, if it doesn't concern themselves they won't do anything, if anything they would do it to save face.. pretty discriminatory..
There's also a lot of kpop idols who r not Korean they would also be considered forgniers they also be included in the new law
Knowing the horror stories Korean artists themselves go through, this isn't too surprising. Sad.
What do you expect Korea is very first world with economy and technology but in the stone ages when it comes to Culture and diversity 🧐
Cultural how are they in the Stone Age? And diversity? Why does Korea need to be diverse? We have seen what diversity has done to places like Germany, Sweden, Norway, France, Belgium, Great Britain, and other western countries.
Scam is real not even in Korean drama
Thank you for bringing this o light.
Tiktok bought me here. A filipino ex kpop trainee suffered PTSD due to sexual abused
Korea created Hallyu and it’s being seen all over the world. People from all over are learning Korea’s culture. I am not surprised that foreigners who lives in Korea will see the positive and negative things surrounding them. I think this is the time to learn too. Change is not always bad. Equality is being fought for by people everywhere. Hopefully, we learn from one another.
it's so unfortunate how people are telling these artists to go back to their country, they don't want to admit the exploitation that is happening in South Korea. Why not make a better place for everyone? Alas people in SK are not able to build a better place for their own citizens, how will they look out for foreigners.
If you add on this to Korean people apparently referring to the own country as "hell" I think I'll be sure to not work there.
Keep going, I support you Good luck!
Why do these people go to such places where they discriminate?
That is plain discrimination.
They can leave, right? Just saying.
@@rashone2879 Actually no, not everyone has a place to go. It upsets me that people assume that. Many people spend years building a home there and that is literally it.
@@rashone2879 Just a note - you watch the video, you will note there are refugees among the people speaking - at least one. That's an ignorant response that implies you didn't actually take interest in the content.
@@rashone2879 they have family there, married to a korean, and have children. They cannot just leave their family. u assume that leaving korea is the answer.. U watched video without analysis or comprehensiion
@Fire Haze yes why not. Good thing theyre not ur feet. Youre annoyed coz SK having too many foreigners, go start a petition to close the border, gather signatures online.
Some SK men are rapists, and sexually abusive to foreign women or even SK women. They drug their victims to do their crimes, and they go unpunished. What right these men have to do that.?They are feeling entitled. They cant even do that in other countries, but only in their country because they think their crime isnt a crime. Sk Justice sytem fail victims, thats a given, esp to foreign victims esp if they dont speak korean.
it's time to break Korea fantasy
Imagine paying tax but no protection. We all human, why treated each other like one is more important than other?.
If I was in Korea I won’t be loving to stay there if they treated without my rights as human beings. We all work hard that’s why it is important to be treated equally. It’s not fair Korea.
3:38 Fighting for your own rights or survival is natural animalistic instinct. But fighting for the rights of others is superior, humanitarian, Godly and praiseworthy. Big ups Korean Artists👏👏👏👍💪
As this is mostly all western foreigners in this protest i would be interested to see what the foreign idols (of which there are many now) experience as i have heard that foreign idols do tend to be treated worse than their korean counterparts. However, im sure these idols dont have the ability to voice their opinion like this so it may remain a mystery
I can't believe some comments are talking about foreigners or locals when they're all just *people*
People deserve basic respect. It doesn't matter where they're from.
lets not forget "MODERN" korean culture and entertainment takes and has roots in a lot of forgien influence. its not right that everyone is being used for their work
How do i say this but even Korean themselves been abused in so many ways, what makes you think they'll treat foreigner even better?😭😭
It's good you all speak up about this. Hopefully, this will get more attention. 🙏
Good luck!
well, this is not only for foreign artists, its even for foreign workers, especially if you aren't white
Definitely! It's substantially worse for foreigners on certain types of visas. I don't often see anyone rallying on their behalf, sadly. Those brought from struggling countries to do so called "dirty jobs', in particular. I recognize that Korea is by no means alone in this crappy practice.
@@Wingzero90939 I'm really unsure what it is you're arguing.
Thats why lisa never speak up for the mistreatment. I hope that law will pass quickly
not just in korea, things like this also happen elsewhere, in other nations too
That's right, in some other nations it probably does, and I think we can agree that's bad.
And in some other entirely different nations things like this do not happen or are at least protected by laws, and I think we could agree that's good.
Which group of nations would you rather that Korea be associated with?
Remember that South Korean got democracy because of south East Asian blood and American blood,,don’t you dare to compare to other nations,,today South Korean enjoyed democracy because of our father blood,, don’t you dare to compare,
Which one ?😂😂 give me a name because I do not remember any country in western side give job without contract . It’s illegal and you can pay a lot of money to government if they catch you . Even a student job , you have a contract , we have organization specialized to the right of student and it’s free . If you have any complain you can go there and have access to attorney to help you so stop thinking that the behavior of South Korean is everywhere.
good article!
Finally i start to see people that put more video about the REAL korea. Now i wish they start to do this for the foreigner that work in factories or farms!! This is where you see the deep dark side of Korea. Also lets talk about the corrupt, sexist and racist police, how many times i saw and heard about a foreign girls that get almost raped or raped by a korean boy and korean girls accusing foreign boy just for money while everyone around knows its fake, but for police if you foreigner even if you are a victim you stand no chance, they will do everything to not help you and if they have no choice they will try to tell you to just forget it because it will make trouble for their dear (rapists and evil b*tchs) korean citizens...
WOW this must be going on around the world. I'm in the US and have seen this way to many times. When is enough enough... We're all human as we all should be treated like human regardless of race regardless I'd where we live and want to live at...
it's funny that when their artists go abroad, they get treated as per internationally signed agreements. Their artists and sports personas and professors etc.... Only in Korea, guys, only in Korea!
🤷🤷😒😒😡😡😡
@ㅇㅇ Hollywood is worse
If no one speaks out and starts spreading the word - nothing will change. Many people may say that in other countries is worse or that they have never signed a contract or they did sign a contract but under duress and everyone knows about it blah blah blah. So what? Just because its the norm ( which is sad) it should stay like this??
There are many korean idols who have also been robbed under this system. There is no transparancy or communication at all. It is very much a corrupt system. It's unethical most of the time.
Yeah the contracts where they get robbed of up to 80% of the profits. Elieen from crayon pop talked about that as did all the girls from Pledis/ Pristin...
This is so bad! I hope Korean government can befair on foreign workers in general since these workers also offered their fair share of the job. A contract is a must!
wheres BTS speaking up about this? guess their agency told them to hush-hush on this subject.
🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖🤖💩💩💩💩🤡🤡🤡
So glad to have been a member of SAG/AFTRA here in the US for the last 47 years. No production company here would dare to pull that kind of crap on actors or performers. Whenever I had a problem, the union was there to go to bat for me and I'll always be grateful.
These are actions that brew boycotts. Maybe it’s time to quit the romance with kdramas for awhile
Wow that’s crazy.. most not signing a contract for any kind of work? I’ve never heard that before.
Obviously the people who does want to take advantage of the artist.
Everyone who immigrate to a foreign country deserve the same rights as all citizens there.You have to adapt to the culture, to the language, they have family there,they have rights too, is time we start treating each other with respect, that is the first step if we want to change this world for a better future for the next generation.My respect to all of you.
In this video, they are talking about abuse, contract etc. But actually they want to stay and work (other work) in Korea on their E-6 (entertainment visa) visa without contract. It means after finishing their job, they just want to live and work here on E-6 visa. How about get another visa that can stay here. Is it weird to go home after finishing contract? Because E-6 is made by that purpose.
Korea is only economically and business wise developed country but on a society level they are very low even among developing country
Imagine when Big celebs like Lisa get less & is hated ….. then the general public is exposed to more discriminations.
Bravo to The Korea Times to highlight this issue.
Have been reading through lots of comments and see people trying to compare Asian Hate Crimes in US and the discrimination addressed in this video.
Yes, hate crimes in the US in general tend to be violent, and therefore there are repercussions in place for those actions. If I were to walk up to someone, beat them, I would be arrested for assault, tried in a court of law, and punished. That law is in place no matter the nationality. The law may not be perfect, need to be strengthend or what not, but at least that behavior is recognized as wrong. From what I gathered in this segment foreigners are legally unprotected for the same work done as (no one said they were doing less than or something wrong) a Korean citizen. Discrimination is not recognized as wrong in this case. That doesn't seem to have anything to do with westerners trying to change Korean culture (seeing that a lot in the comments).
I am seeing people comment " well they do this, so why should I care". This is where every individual has a choice to elevate their thinking and take the opportunity to show empathy and compassion toward their fellow human being. In order for that to happen (goes for both sides of the argument) you have to be willing to listen. Really listen and process before speaking. My challenge to everyone.
Korea is worse
THEY LIKE TO BE BULLYS.
아이돌 연습생들이 당하는 착취랑 비슷한거 같은데 음... 이건 외국인이건 아니건 이건 저쪽 업계가 워낙 폐쇄적인 거라 쉽게 바뀔지는 모르겠네
I like how Korea Times has a lot of integrity. Their reporting is pretty fair. Unlike say Asian Boss. Just compare their coverage of the #cancelKorea movement in the Philippines. Thanks Korea Times.
They have the high standard to beauty lowest attitude towards foreigners, have watched some vlogs about foreign teachers and how they were treated so bad..
wow just wow! Yet their korean idols were praised tsk tsk
And BTS complain about discrimination abroad but their home country is worst. Hypocrisy!
