In my country Romania small talk it's not a part of our culture. That's why the majority of us suck at it!😂😂 Usually even our conversations with strangers would quickly transform into serious subjects like family, job, health problems, politics, how we feel etc. I just can't imagine talking with someone for hours about a shirt, the weather.😂 For me people from the USA and all people from American Latin countries are masters at small talk. It's like they make a sport out of it. And I am always amazed😂
As a personal trainer it's my job to be good at small talk and make gym members feel comfortable and help clients to be open about the problems they need solving. I've gotten really good at making people laugh within 5 minutes of meeting them... Surely that can only be a good thing?
The button for the disabled, was a great tip. Thank you so much for mentioning it! .... Because in Sweden it's a button everyone would push to get a green light. I would probably push it out of habit if you didn't mention it as a tip! 😂🙇♀️
Great video Jin! Just a quick tip: saying 'this is it' might sound a bit abrupt to a native speaker. Obviously it's not going to be taken as rude, but something like 'that about wraps it up', or 'that concludes the interview' might sound a bit more natural at the end.
Just came back from a holiday there. We met a lot of kind koreans who offered help when we searched for stations in the metro. I thought that the passengers on the metro would be really silent but there are koreans talking while travelling but not loudly.
All the tips introduced here should be applied in the US. Be on time, special seats in public transport, controlling boisterous talking...these are all good! Welcome back, Jin!
Really enjoyed this interview! And plus, don't take photos of Koreans without their consent. It's called portrait rights. You'd better erase/blur other people's face(even though they're in the background)before you upload photos or videos on social media.
This video has many people in the background and none of their faces are blurred or erased. Are you mentioning this because that's something the interviewer didn't do?
this problem is quite ambiguous so to say. some people really care about it while others don't. you'd better to be conservative of deffensive on taking photo public
@@QMJUN 답글 달려고 했는데 아이디랑 구독자 보니 한국인이신 것 같아서 한국어로 댓글 달아요~ 초상권 침해는 형사처벌 대상이 아니지만 민사 소송을 통한 손해배상 청구가 가능한 부분이라 적어도 한국에서만큼은 민감한 문제라고 생각합니다. 나도 모르는 사이에 내 얼굴이 전세계 불특정다수의 사람들에게 노출되는게 불편한 사람들이 많아요. 뉴스처럼 공익 목적이 아니라 개인 수익 창출용 sns에서 노출되면 더 불쾌하게 느낄 수도 있고요. 요새 한국 예능 방송이나 한국인 유튜브 채널, 인스타그램 피드 보면 뒤에 지나가는 행인들 얼굴 모자이크하는 경우 많습니다. 만약에 그 사람들 얼굴 블러 처리 안 하면 댓글에서 얘기 꼭 나오고요. 몇 년 전에 파친코에 출연했던 배우 진하가 한국 할머니들 얼굴을 무단촬영하고 그 사진들을 개인 블로그에 업로드한 다음에 조롱하는 코멘트를 달아서 큰 논란이 된 적 있죠. 개인적인 생각이지만 서양에서는 초상권이 한국만큼 예민하지 않은 것 같아요. 말씀하신대로 이런거 별로 신경 안 쓰는 한국인도 당연히 있겠지만 어쨌든 조심해야될 부분이라고 생각합니다.
Most things. Is the same for Swedes. But it is to show consideration and respect for others. But you can approach a stranger. If you need help with something. For example, if you have difficulty finding a place. Or if you are a tourist and want tips on what you can find for something. Or if you are being followed by someone. And feel discomfort. Then you won't be left alone. And you will get help.
Obviously no one including in the US wants boisterous people on public transportation but “loudness” is different from just talking. There seems to be “No small talk” anywhere, and silence in public transportation, so when can one really relax and interact in public ? I’m a reserved person but the level of restricted human interactions feels deeply sad to me. Respecting others is one thing but I prefer a sense of friendliness even among strangers. I’m not undermining different cultures but just stating my observations. We should all respect the culture that is hosting us so this is just a commentary.
Being on time I think is a personality trait more than only akin to Korea. I would do well there, as I'm not Korean, but always arrive a few minutes before due time. 😊
@@Max_Kraft das ist tatsächlich eine gute Frage. Bei mir kams einfach durch Freunde in der Schulzeit und hat sich dann so ergeben. Bei anderen interessiert mich das echt wie es dazu kam
We used to have "Korean Time" in the past lol Thanks for this interview! From a different perspective, we see ourselves better! Super agree with small talking! It's kind of hard for me to talk and continue small talking here in the U.S. I'm always out of subjects that I want to talk lol
en buenos aires deberían adoptar esa costumbre de ser silenciosos en el transporte público, hasta hace poco era común que suban escuchando música con el parlante del celular... ahora está prohibido aunque algunas personas lo siguen haciendo. además de que es normal que hablen super fuerte entre ellos, o que se pongan a hablar por celular hablando super fuerte o mandar audios -_-

Maybe besides the seats for pregnant women and talking softly on the train much of this was common decades ago in many other places as well. Our western world has deteriorated in many senses.
2:22 This girl is wrong . In Germany you learn at Young age that you should always let the people from the inside out first and everyone usually does it?
Nah not really... I try to avoid public transportation if possible but had to take the train and subway recently and people would not let me out of the train or bus until I started cursing 😅 they're just getting more ignorant and impatient by the day...
One more.. Do not ever show Japanese flag in any of Korean landmarks. Oh and definitely not at any sport matches against Japan within Korean crowd LOL! I can easily imagine what the consequences of that will be LOL!
What I don’t understand is WHY S.Koreans don’t like JAPAN but their artists and groups constantly go there for popularity and fans…they even speak and sing in Japanese…it bothers me. I’m Indigenous Native American and even though I had military family members killed in the Pearl Harbor attack I don’t see WHY there’s animosity at present. 🤷🏻♀️
If you have courage to wander around with Hakenkreuz T shirts in Poland, Israel, etc... , then you can wander around in Korea with Rising Sun T shirts. If you do catcalling in Korea, you can go to Jail without Trial, Because Police, Prosecution, judiciary have been occupied by Feminist.
Koreans normally made small talk with me while I was there. That's why I don't get this. But I am kind of exceptional...they were genuinely curious about me I'm American, "black" but a little racially ambiguous and considered to be beautiful by literally everyone... except for myself😂. Some asked me if I was European. People would get excited when I tell them I'm American. Everyone was so nice to me. Laughing at the African yes black people can't be on time nowhere in the world and I struggle with that myself! 😂

No small talking, be punctual, do not speak loudly, respect special seats on the subway. I think Korea is a good place for me! 😊
a nice place to visit yeah, but not to live😢

@@leliavoinea7253 the total opposite of most African culture. We are the King's of small talks and then turn into a 3 hours conversation.
But I love small talks. Punctuality does not exist in our books

I like that you don't interrupt people, you let them finish their sentences, I think this give them trust to speak freely to you. Love the interviews
Thank you so much for your comment
Its funny cause when I stayed there there were some korean who were talking to me in restaurant or in street to ask where i was from then just leave
the light button was so helpful! I've never heard that before, thank you !
You're welcome!

대중교통 지하철이나 버스안에서 큰소리로 잡담나누는 외국인은 대부분 미국인듯 싶다. 캐나다인들은 덜한편인듯, 그리고 개인적으로 심신이 피곤한 상태에서는 정숙한 분위기에서 있고 싶은데 영어로 수다 크게 떠드는 외국인들은 진짜 뭐라고 해주고 싶을 때 몇번 있었음
If you want to say something, just do it.
Love the content! Keep it up Jin!!
Another awesome interview! Happy to see it
I dont think I will survive in Korea. I will probably break all the rules in day 1
I really like your interview style. Thank you for your work!
Thank you Jin again for a great interview... Very interesting. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for watching!
Australia too, Specially Africa
Greetings from Cyprus. Your channel is amazing.
African time 😂😂 so true
스몰토크가 옛날에 없지는 않았는데. 나쁜 사람들이 스몰토크로 접근하는 경우가 많아지면서 낯선사람이 말 건면 일단 이상한 사람으로 보는 경향이 많아졌던거 같아요.
This was very informative, especially the PDA. I like to show off my boo.
So enjoy these interviews! 😊
Greetings from Germany, love the video 🥰
3:05 truly genuinely watch out foreginers
This was a great interview! Everyone was so polite!
오늘 서울 공습경보 관련해서도 인터뷰 해주세요~~
Coming to Korea for the 2nd time 🥳 can’t wait
옛날 30 ~40년전보다 스몰톡이 더 줄어든것 같다. 사회가 더 삭막해진 느낌이다.
15년전만해도 엘베만 타도 이웃끼리 인사하고 그랬는데 이젠 전혀 없는 듯
The fact that Germans are presenting themselves as social and extroverted in comparison to Koreans is mind-boggling.
Really enjoyed this interview!

You know exactly what you're doing with the foreign hottie on the thumbnail lol
Sounds very German. I always thought Germans were the Koreans of europe.
I also think it's pretty similar. Maybe a little more relaxed but still similar. What's exacrly the same is arriving 5 to 15 minutes early 😂

True. also depends on who you meet with.
When I hear people speaking loudly on the subway it's usually Korean ajussis and ajummas.
The no small-talk thing sounds fabulous.
So many germans 😅 as a german living a few years in korea its funny to see it
