Did you know that Korea and the Philippines share one of the closest bilateral relations in Asia? The Philippines even helped Korea out during the Korean War by sending over 7,000 soldiers.
And now, K-pop and the Korean cultural wave is taking over the Filipino youth. But how much do the average Koreans know about the Philippines? Our Asian Boss reporter hit the streets of Seoul to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general South Korean population.

Hi, can I get your script? For my homework
im a filipino who came to korea for travel and as a tourist.. these people in interview was so very polite and respectful. but i as a foreigner and as a filipino, when i went there they are not so friendly and will stare at you like your a trash, its better to go to a place where you can leave your things and lost it, than somewhere safe but with judgemental and racist people. well this is not a stereotype, its better to go to japan than korea.
True, japanese are better than koreans..they will not stare at you..they dont mind looking who u are!
Same story i heard abt other Filipinos who went to Korea. Same thing also abt the Filipino actor who was in Squid Game. He was insulted by a Korean lady and no one helped him.
Sad but true, Koreans need to get off their high horses or someday someone is going to yank them off, maybe one of their neighbors. This is something that we Filipinos and other neighbors of Korea need to teach them to help improve the Koreans, help them have better manners and help them be better people. Asians need to help one another be a better people and improve our continent's image.
I gree! japan is way more better than korea,japanese are so respectful.
That's true. Japanese people are more genuine and trustworthy. I have been there and I swear to God it's a place where you wanna go back again and again. Racism or colorism is not really rampant there unlike in Korea. Many people are saying that they're like the US of Asia and yet many Filipino fantards are fantasizing Kpop dramas and music, where in fact they look at us as garbages.
I studied English in the Philippines for a year and came back to Korea. In Baguio city. What I felt is that Filipinos are smart and kind. And they are always relaxed. So sometimes I envied it. I also thought that if I was born as a Filipino, I could live happily like this. In Korea, I sometimes hate myself for not being able to complete my work perfectly and quickly. I think their relaxed and positive attitude is the strength of the Filipino people. And When I came back to Korea, my friends said I looked relaxed. So I was happy. Perhaps Koreans who studied English in the Philippines have a good perception of the Philippines. However some Koreans still don't know exactly what kind of country the Philippines is.
@@bryanfuentes1452 corruption. Lots and lots of corruption.
Bryan Fuentes, i"ll answer you that. 3rd world coz PH hasnt much military power. Unlike Korea that had much assistance from US for military support. Korea have much investment also from US and its allies in exchange for being so submissive to US. PH has US bases but not fully submissive to US. Ph also lot of natural disasters being in the pacific that causes destruction and slowed economy for a while.
@@bryanfuentes1452 corruption. all the major political candidates are either corrupt or will be corrupt soon. that's a given.
@@eg8343 didn't PH got US military gov period as well?
@@eg8343 No, military power has nothing to do with economic growth. Its corrupt politicians and stupid leaders who are not public servants
As a Korean, I would like to apologize for your feelings and thoughts. I studied in the Philippines before and I know how amazing their culture and natural environment is.
First of all, in my defense, Korea has experienced very rapid economic growth, but I think there is still a lack of awareness and cultural education among the people, for example, foreign workers and people from other countries. I think this is something that we need to improve and learn in the future. But, I hope you know that not all Koreans are like that and there is always people love the culture of the Philippines. 🏝️🤍 Thanks to all of you have interested in Korean culture and sorry again for the disappointment, I hope one day, you'll forgive us and we'll be on good terms again.
You don’t have to apologize for us Filipinos we actually understand their comment about the Philippines because they haven’t visited our country just yet. We have differences especially our culture and all countries has shortcomings but we still love Korean as our old friend in the past.

똥남아는 그냥 똥남아일뿐이다. 개나소나 한국인이여
Korea and the Philippines have deep rooted history that the younger generations are not aware of. I doubt the link will ever be severed permanently. Sadly, it is true that it may be fading as the older generations who knows the history are getting lesser and lesser.
❤
Don’t worry, we know that not everyone is the same. I also have some Korean friends and they are not like what were described in other comments. 💙
Im Filipino American who worked in Korean a couple of years. They definitely look down on Filipinos. It always baffled me how Filipinos would put Koreans on a pedestal. Filipinos would choose KPop over their own local artist when their OPM would be true art, they played inatruments, wrote their own lyrics etc. They would even train in Korean martial arts when FMA is by far more effective. I think Filipinos even name a cut of meat Korean.
She said it well.
The rich becomes richer, the poor becomes poorer. Most politicians aren't public servants at all.
@@VitaminProtein4256 Pakistan is not safe place for women. Look what happen to asia bibi
This is the standard in capitalist countries. Same in USA, same in Korea, same in Philippines.
Yes that system is called capitalism , she should have called it as it is
I don't think it's capitalism, it's corruption
That is not just true to the Philippines though
That woman in the orange coat is so on point with her comments about our government. It’s really sad how Filipinos treat politicians like royalties due to misinformation and a really weak educational system that our government refuses to improve.
Edit: It doesn't matter if the world has the same problems. We live in the Philippines and we have to make our government accountable. We only have ourselves, each other, and supposedly these people in power to watch out for us.
On the other hand, the man before her is a bit misinformed saying that they were the first to be westernized.
Philippines should get rid of the rampant corruption so that the people of their country could get better education and live under the stable society.
And everyone on both sides were fighting over that just like our Amercian counterpart even after the 2022 Elections was over.
@@PinoyBowlerGS92 It's honestly sad how easily swayed the public there can be. Both sides sucks. The only one I wanted there was Sarah Duterte but even she had to pick a side and become a co-runner up
thats how capitalism works, self interest is always the first before the people
I'm Korean, and during my high school years (15 years ago), our school decided to have a school trip abroad, and students could choose where to travel. (Japan, China, Phillippines) I chose to visit Phillippines, and I absolutely loved it. I stayed in Manila Hotel, and we rode a small boat in a valley with a really lovely fall (there were even some monkeys) and went out to local markets to purchase tropical fruits. I still remember having fun at night in that hotel room with my friends, enjoying a box of mangos and affordable room-serviced ribeye steaks. What a lovely country and kind people. After that trip, I was told that Phillippines were richer than S.Korea in the 1960-1970s but had a sad history of the worst dictatorship. That story of the dictator's wife collecting thousands of super expensive shoes while the country suffered was even quite famous in Korea. Also, it is very furious that a few animal Korean guys visit Phillippines for prostitution. Ordinary Koreans wouldn't ever do such a thing, not only because it is morally wrong but also for their own safety. I hope the Korean government punishes these animals properly.
...and now the dictator's son is the current elected president of the Philippines.
Thank you so much for saying good things about our country. One thing though, about the shoes they were locally made by the amazing shoemakers in Marikina (The Shoe Capital of the Philippines) and they are not super expensive. The shoes were gifts to the first lady Imelda Marcos for her contribution and support for these shoemakers and their products.
@@LuckyYaaw12 Thanks for correcting the wrong information. I don't know why that shoe story was misinterpreted in S.Korean media.😅
Actually the Philippines was the richest within the period of the "dictatorship" the opposers claim. After the removal of President Ferdinand Marcos was the downfall of the Philippines. It is true that Imelda did live lavishly, and it's because they were rich anyway and they can really afford it. Combined with the power of presidency, of course they lived like royalty but not to the expense of the Filipinos. What is out there are fabricated information to make Filipinos hate the Marcos..and it worked for many years. Now that they are back, it solely because of the fact that many Filipinos realized that they were tricked and was misled. We have hit rock bottom after the Marcos' were removed. Being able to see the difference of PH then and now...I can compare and say this with facts.
@@9circle_VeigarNo, you didn't misinterpret the "shoe story". What you said was correct.
Having worked at S. Kor for almost 5 years I can say that their place is really safe. I find that they are:
1) respectful to their elders and boss to the point that they will obey whatever they say.
2) They are industrious, they work 10hrs everyday from monday to saturday.
3) They are kind and generous.
Bonus: They keep their promise. They do not make a promise that they cannot do. They always help someone who made a promise to make it possible. They value their word of honor!
Yes there are also some who has discrimination towards foreign worker and I can say that they treat a caucasian better than a south east asian. But in general koreans are a good and honest person! My experience working there is very positive! Kamsahamnida Dehaminguk!
I belive you had been very good coworker and friend of Koreans and they well take care of you.
I am Korean-American and several of my closest friends are Filipino-American.
I absolutely love how warm, welcoming, friendly, and affectionate Filipino people are.
I also visited Boracay in 2015 and I found that the local people were very friendly and helpful.
Lots of love for the Filipino people.
If that America and C.I.A didn't manipulate our government Philippines by installing political party and inject the communism party to our democratic system that cause of delayed over and over of project and investment and infrastructure and corruption all of the agency this country is the riches nation on earth...that is why I hate America and C.I.A until kingdom come..America is recognize partners and allies but he is a pure evil traitor.
My two closest friends in high school are full-blooded Koreans who came here in the Philippines to study English. Lots of love for Korea as well.
Im surprised because koreans always had negative view of filipinos as if they thought they were better than them.
@@1792dt I believe having a negative view of others simply because they are of whatever ethnicity is incredibly stupid. I judge a person by my interactions with him/her; not his/her ethnicity.
❤
Maybe as a follow up, you could interview Koreans who have lived in the Philippines for a long time to hear what they can share about the PH to their fellow Koreans
Bebe..
Or other nationals like Chinese, Taiwanese or Japanese who have lived there or in any other countries...
very good suggestion why koreans decided to live in the philippines 👍👍👍
that is a great idea. They should interview Korean expats in the Philippines and share their POV
Right..to be fair
Walang may pake
I love the guy in glasses and wearing cap backwards - he's so aware, respectful and wise.
As a Korean, I write my thoughts about Filipinos.
1. The Philippines is a participant in the Korean War.
2. Filipinos played a huge role in spreading the Korean Wave to the West. I heard that the people who introduced Psy's Gangnam Style in English and spread it to the West were Filipinos.
3. The Philippines is helping the development of Korea's aerospace and defense industry. The Philippines is the first importer of FA50. The FA50 experienced its first combat experience in the Battle of Marawi, and Filipino soldiers unofficially praised the FA50's superiority to soldiers around the world. These actions have greatly contributed to the export of the FA50.
4. Filipinos always have a pure smile.
5. So I am grateful to the Filipinos.
Nevertheless, if Filipinos suffer racial discrimination in Korea, I think it is because of the following reasons.
1. The story is widespread in Korea that when President Park Chung-hee visited the Philippines in the 1960s, he was ignored by President Marcos.
2. There are cases in which some Koreans with a low intellectual level engage in racially discriminatory behavior.
If there are Koreans who are hostile towards Filipinos, I think it is because of the reasons #1 and #2. However, in the case of number 1, it is necessary to confirm whether it is true, and even if number 1 is true, it is a very minor mistake compared to the Philippines' participation in the Korean War.
In the case of number 2, I apologize as a Korean. However, Koreans also face racial discrimination abroad. It's because there are people with low intelligence everywhere.
Anyway, I like Filipinos. I hope that the friendship between Korea and the Philippines will deepen in the future.
뭐라는거야ㅋㅋ 저새기들이 드럽고 가난하고 게으른건 팩튼데
As I remember president Marcos was elected 1965 when you're President visited in the Philippines 1960 maybe President Macapagal, at that time not Marcos!!
I like the Philippines and its people. Been there three times. Loved Banaue and Sagada. Beautiful country and friendly people. But if I’m being completely honest, there was one thing about the Philippines that didnt really sit well with me. It was that I had met so many Filipinos who showed pure favoritism towards foreigners… so many Filipinos who said they didnt like their own people and “prefer” foreigners…. It was disheartening and confusing for me to hear those things. If you ask me, I blame colonial mindset.
It depends on who u hang out with I suspect youngsters who are very much crazy over their foreign pop idols or some lower class people who are in awe of foreigners and think they are rich. We are very patriotic people and we are even willing to fight and die for our country. We don't even care about foreigners when we see them around as they are ubiquitous everywhere its a pretty common sight lol! Dont generalize Filipinos as being obsessed with foreigners because that is not true at all! Indeed there are still many with a colonial mindset and many critics who keep complaining about the government and every issues and who are submissive to foreigners, but they do not represent the majority of our people who are devoted to our country!
@@teacherteen You are absolutely right. Now I see the flaws in my original comment thanks to you. I was too hasty to make a judgment.
@@user-pt3ms3ye5z online, it’s the opposite. I see many fellow Filipinos hating on foreigners, they are not ashamed being racist. You can meet good people or bad people. It depends where you are and how you meet them. I think it’s better you experience “favoritism” because it doesn’t hurt you but bad racist Filipinos will hurt you.
Filipinos who are usually in awe of foreigners belong to the low income bracket. They hv this very narrow mindset about foreigners coz of limited exposure. They think that all foreigners are rich, that becoz you are a traveling tourist, you must hv so much money, and for them all foreigners earn in dollars 😆😆😆😆. So yeah, they think like that becoz of limited knowledge about other people in other countries, becoz of their financial status.
@@teacherteen your sentiments are quite understandable until you come to the part where you address people who nitpicks at your governments actions as an act of hating it? isnt it more patriotic to be always involved or to keep calling out bad practices made by people who gets their salary with the taxpayer's money? are you insinuating that complacency is more good even if you know outright that corrupt and incompetent people are in position of power right now? your statement contradicts itself, just saying.
Not sure if the interviewees were particularly picked to say something about the Philippines but they all presented themselves as smart people with on-point comments about the Philippines, not to mention the kind wishes for the Philippines to improve and protect the Filipinos from sex tourists.
True👍🏻🤔
felt sooo very sad abt the prostitution in our country due to poverty . hopefully only a few percent of the population are in poverty level . frm manila 🇵🇭halmeoni retired educator
I agree. Not sure if this specific episode was commissioned to deflect from the current discrimination and biases against Filipinos by Koreans but I feel like each one interviewed was particularly picked to say something eloquently.
Agreed
Picked or not. Aminin nyo totoo naman e. Masakit lang tanggapin kaya nyo nasasabing pinili yung interviewers.
It's high time that Filipinos become more open-minded and less sensitive to criticism. These people who said negative stereotypes about the Philippines are coming from a good place, they said it with respect and good intentions. There are plenty of things as a county that we have to work on. Acceptance leads to change, and change leads to development. That is the simplest formula for development.
Filipinos take constructive criticism too personally…
agree with this one. This are legit comments that needs changing/improvement in the Philippines. One thing is that filipinos who are kpop/kdrama zombies are blindly following them, and yet the other way around, they see us as trash/low level people.
I like your attitude , it's a good way of thinking . Im a korean guy who grew up in s.america n spent my 20 's in usa , and i also experienced bad things . I grew out of it .
We koreans are good , but we are also mean to ourselves too ,
China , korea n japan , we are very very different , as in character . We don't just go around smiling n be nice , we might look arsh , but inside we're not .
@@hakhaimo
We don't see you as trash .
We might not have been nice n welcoming to some of you ,
but we don't see you guys as trash . We koreans are not nice to ourselves either , but people do not understand koreans .
I completely disagree with this. The idea underneath what you are saying is that there is something innately wrong with Filipino characteristics as a people that is why we are poor and under-developed as a country. And that we should change our character to be more like Koreans who are what? hardworking, on-time, be more light skinned so we can be as rich and successful as them? The reason why we are economically under-developed in comparison to South Korea is that the Filipino people are over-exploited by our own government. Please look up history. It’s only now that the economy is finally on the right track. What these Korean’s are saying is a wake-up call? We never heard them before? Filipinos don’t realize it’s bad? You’re over valuing what these Koreans are saying,. Don’t you know that Korea, despite being rich has so many problems of their own? They’re not happier than Filipinos. Filipinos are extremely hard working people. We are not lazy. Many of us go abroad, sacrificing not seeing our families, facing racism in places like South Korea so we can give our families a better future, and it’s working. It’s the people on top who screwed us over, not the Filipino people themselves. Koreans’ opinion’s about Filipinos? Koreans giving advice to Filipinos so we can be rich like them? We have separate paths and separate journeys to prosperity. The structures of our economies are completely different. We don’t need their advice. Like the past, it’s projected that one day the Philippine economy will be bigger and richer than South Korea’s. So we don’t need their advice. They should just worry about declining birthrates, lowering down suicide rates, and becoming world famous for their racism.
As a filipino, hearing that Korea used to think that the Philippines was a "nearly unreachable role model" for economic development reallllyy made my heart sink :(( it's really sad to think about what's happening to the country today but I still have hope there's still some way we can change how things are right now, even if it seems like an impossible dream with all the odds stacked against us
Me too I’ve been praying for that as far as I can remember. I would always say “will I ever see the Philippines becomes an economic powerful country” guess only time could tell. Hopefully, I’d be still alive when that day comes. Filipino gov’t should watch this & learn from it. So they can start working on it in building for a better future. Para Wala ng mga DH or OFW with menial jobs. There’s no more stereotypes against us that we only do low paying job & we’re less educated & prostitution is more popular than being highly educated people. Please Bongbong Marcos make a huge impact to the Filipino people ( no corruption) & Pinoys give ur contribution too by being discipline & unity.
As long as you worship your government you will forever be a sh1thole country full of corruption.
I think that was Marcos Sr. Times when our economy growth so much.
There's a YT video where a Korean mother is telling her kids that they would bow to Filipino soldiers during the Korean war and envy the Philippines for being a very rich country because Korea was very poor back then.
@@rizabethchalico7391This is because of Diosdado Macapagal. Marcos' regime started in 1965.
South Korea is an affordale alternative to experience winter. I visited the country 4 times; ate authentic local dishes; saw famous landmarks/ filming locations and bought lots of souvenirs. People were generally polite but I never expected them to be overly accommodating or nice like what I usually see in k-dramas, which are superficial and a far cry from reality. So, go there without prejudice nor grand expectations. Just enjoy what the country has to offer! 🇵🇭 ❤ 🇰🇷
this goes to every koreans out there, dafuq
can't help but comment :>
I really think it's high time for Korean movie producers to not just portray Philippines as a place for drugs and criminal hideout, it's so disheartening to see our very own country repeatedly seen in a bad light when Philippines has so much to offer :<
Appreaciate those Koreans who felt bad when those stereotypes are getting too much
very true so sad abt negative views and made examples in some of korean movies
Actually, most Koreans who are victimized by crimes in PH, the perpetrators are usually their own fellow Koreans. Yes there are many Korean criminals hiding in PH and victimizing their fellow Koreans.
Main stream media is to blame.
Why? Most of druglords here are from china and most scammers here are negro from Africa.
Yes they need to stop using an entire country with a complex story as a clichéd plot device. It's cheap storytelling from Korean writers at this point.
I've been watching kdramas as a kid since Jewel in the Palace and Jumong were aired here in the Philippines. I feel like since most of our pre-colonial culture has been destroyed we have this internal hunger for knowing about where we belong and since those kdramas I mentioned showcased beautiful and easily accessible culture, we got fascinated by it making us interested in knowing Korea's current and past condition.
As a Filipino living abroad, I do understand why most Koreans have a negative connotation of the Philippines in general. Every time I watch the news about my country more than 50% is crime/sex/drugs related, so as Filipinos can we blame if foreigners view us negatively? We can't change how other races will think about us, what we can do is improve our lives collectively and stay as decent human beings and citizens. Calling Koreans racist will not make us look any better. Not all Koreans are good but so are we Filipinos no need to be oversensitive from this video. At the end of the day if we want the world to view PH in a good light then our government has to do something about it, unfortunately, we always end up voting for corrupt officials.
I’m a korean myself and I had 2 filipino teachers… they were very friendly and easy to socialize with!! I also seen filipino artists too and they are super talented :D I hope more Korean s widen the image of Filipinos more than a “poor islander “., (PS planning a trip to 🇵🇭 next month!! )
Don't forget to do a vlog. Thank me later.
yes go to white sand beaches in bohol esp in anda bohol 3hrs from the city that place are called hidden paradise. better than boracay
but be careful because somehow crime rate increase in PH right now
filipino: making an account + telling a story: yes, I'm Korean as well; I had a filipino friend who had a power, and most of the people there could fly as well; they lived in a villa under the bridge subdivision.
Because most of your countrymen only base their perception on what they see from the media and u know how the media loves to sensationalize the crime, drugs and inequality in the PH.
I like how polite they were in pointing out Filipino stereotypes.
koreans are racist ask people who's not a korean who have lived there
Theyre racist, dont be fooled by these interviews lol
When their is camera..
@@ramosfelize6848 ouch. What do you mean?
because without a camera, koreans are racist towards poorer asian countries
If you've been in korea, average koreans legit think filipinos as sub-humans. The dynamic between the two is like the white and the blacks in the west.
Louder pleaseeeee
White and Black in the West? Really? Do the Koreans tie a Filipino to the back of a truck and drag them?
Not true.
They are deemed as the most homogeneous in the Asia because they are😅
You guys are saying that to yourselves. Filipinos are humans like any other. We respect all human beings.
저는 필리핀 매우 좋아합니다
필리핀 여행 5번정도 가봤는데 늘 좋은 경험이었어요😊
그리고 6.25 전쟁때부터 한국을 도와주었던 소중한 나라이기 때문에 감사한 마음도 큽니다
한국과 필리핀이 사이좋게 지냈으면 좋겠어요
저희 나라를 지속적으로 방문하시고 그것을 감사히 여기셔서 감사합니다.
Filipinos love Koreans so much and this interview should be a wake up call to my countrymen to love and appreciate our country because who can love and appreciate it better than us. It's painful to hear about what these Koreans who many Filipinos think highly about on the contrary think about us. WAKE UP CALL MY COUNTRYMEN.
Correct
한국인이구요 필리핀 정말 좋아해요! 좋아하니깐 여행을 많이가는것입니다😊 서로 친하게 지내요!
true, most filipinos would rather die spending all their money to k-pop concerts, k-pop artists than spending it to filipino artists na kababayan nila.
It is not bad naman na hangaan ang ibang lahi pero at the same time ibigay din natin ang nararapat na paghanga sa ating mga local artists. Balanse lang.
Yeah just like how many filipino are willing to spend money for this korean superstars or artist.
Tama kaya ako I love my own my native land 🇵🇭 wala akong pakialaman dyan sa ibang lahi
I used to live around Koreatown here and Angeles City and while I can't really generalize all Korean ex-pats here to be bad, I do have some honest opinions. Many businesses are catered to Koreans (which is not a problem IMO), but some Korean owners and staff look up and down at you for being Filipino when you enter their store, especially if you don't know any Korean. Like, excuse me, ma'am, last time I checked, you're the guests in my country. Wealthy Korean ex-pats or tourists also tend to look down on the Philippines. It just leaves a nasty aftertaste when they act so entitled and exclusive in a country they're guests in. But I guess that's the same wherever you go. It's not something that's exclusive to Korean ex-pats but also to other foreign ex-pats in the Philippines.
Like I said, I'm sure there are a lot of Korean tourists and ex-pats so I hope they help bridge the cultural barrier and help raise awareness. I think a lot of the answers they got from the interview were interesting to hear. They were very eloquent and very on-point with their comments and answers.
they are not ex pats but sex pats.
Idk why cuck governments don't kick them out with a permanent blacklist but are so confident in killing poor Filipinos.
@@James-gr1vk You do realize that responding with crap like this doesn't make Filipinos seem smarter, yeah?
Angeles City? You know they have illegal businesses in the country right? That’s why they’re rude and mean because their establishments are not even legal.
A lot of these expats act as if they are lords and masters of the Filipinos. They should be reminded that they are guests here. What is our Bureau of Immigration doing about these arrogant monkeys?
I admire how logical these koreans answer the questions as well as the respect and politeness they show while being honest on their answers but developing or developed country like korea, we have relatively the same problems in our society comparing one from the other would be very difficult to do, at the end of the day it all depends on how an individual CHOOSE to look at a country and its people that matters.
man this is the most well spoken content about PH i've ever seen :o they're pretty much spot on
As a Filipino, this is an eye opening for both country the Philippines and South Korea, It's talking about the reality without any sugar coating at all..I'm sad of negative stereotype towards us but we filipinos should improve our system to avoid it but I'm happy at the same time because they're aware that Philippines is not that kind of negative image country and they considered us as one of their closest allies in Asia and have Positive image geographically (Tourism) and society..and I hope the Philippines and South Korea will keep the most and closest country's friendship in Asia...Thank you Koreans love from the Philippines
You cannot improve the system without changing your mindset first. People complain about who runs the country, yet they never once blame or ask themselves why those people are where they are in the government...you know what I mean?
Daming alam
@@unknownman5990 Close minded kalang kaya wala kang alam, It's better to respond para maging aware kesa magreply at manginsulto ng ibang comments ^^
@@etrnlygr8tful we can't blame the People based on their perspective and Opinion..Maiimprove natin yung system natin kung uumpisahan natin yun sa sarili natin hindi lang sa Government..we already knew na hindi perpekto ang Gobyerno natin so bakit pa tayo dun mababasis..if we can start in our own..sa Korea nga hindi din perpekto yung gobyerno nila pero napakadisiplina and responsible nila because inuumpisahan nila un sa sistema ng Tao nila hindi lang sa Gobyerno
Exactly. I am fed up with people continuously blaming the government..If they want to change they should start with themselves. May ginagawa naman ang gobyerno ngayon kumpara sa noon, pero malalim lang talaga ang ugat ng problema and it will not take months to solve them all but so many people even blaming the newly installed govt. By the way why is Asian Boss deleting all comments that are defending the govt. and they are only posting pro-liberal anti govt. comments...dami nilang dinelete.... shame AB! No freedom of expression!
Considering that Koreans are used to be the first or second largest tourists in the Philippines, I think this country is one of the most lovable travel spot in holidays. I saw lots of Korean tourists in Boracay and Cebu. Hope that more Koreans enjoy their time and have a beautiful memory in the Philippines.
In Manila and Boracay, a lot of Korean students and tourists. Do you know a celebrity named PSY? He was quite popular there. When they played music they often listened to Gangnam style.
A lot of chefs in Boracay are of Korean nationals.
@@VitaminProtein4256 the most delusional man on the planet. this is what happens when you lick your country's balls this much
필리핀 좋아요
you are really out of context of the video my friend.
Second? Koreans are the largest wasn't it?
Amazingly respectful.
I so agree with that guy who said that we should "export our culture". That's why it's so easy for other countries to look down on us because they only know Philippines for it's stereotypes. But with the crab mentality & corruption in our country, this would be very hard to & would take a long time to pursue. Filipinos need to change their mentalities as a first step to begin with, so we could think more progressively for the better of our own country. We need to elect better leaders who actually cares for our country and we need to focus on advancement, developments & innovations to be able to change & better our system, and make our country pretty or aesthetically inviting but sadly filipinos doesn't appreciate art that's why architecture doesn't grow in the country, making it hard to further do urban plannings.
We need to be confident & embrace our culture too, because we always embrace others cultures first before ours, and we need to stop the inferiority, filipinos are such people pleaser and always bow down to foreigners, and foreigners always take advantage of it.
Artist or so called web com artists or anyone who uses internet can freely promote or export pur culture. Though still kinda challenging
Honestly aesthetics like architecture and city planning are our weak points as well as our lack of discipline when it comes to cleanliness and practicality in our way of approaching things. We need to clear our heads, stop being lazy and act with common sense if we want to improve our nation.
Colonial mentality is a major cause of the Philippines' cultural and identity crisis.
@@AiSakurai yes especially since we're now living in the digital age
@@oliverenterprises3526 absolutely, people visit other countries because of the aesthetic & famous landmarks something we lack in the ph, we wouldn't come to Paris if it wasn't for the eiffel & faahion week and visual presentation of their food and that logic is something that filipino's can't grasp. Art needs to be appreciated and put importance in the Philippines too, it has made many countries successful like France, Italy & more.
Well their stereotypes are pretty much the truth about our country.

That guy who mentioned about Philippines being portrayed as a country where bad guys would go and hide is true. I've watched countless films and dramas already, every single time, it hurts me. It shows how weak the security here in the Philippines. I remembered a line in a kdrama that goes something like "once they reached the Philippines (referring to bad guys) it will be hard to catch them. That's a lawless country."
Not only in Korea but also in Japan. Well known sa kanila Philippines as hideout ng mga criminals.
What drama are you referring to?
That's funny because in another Asian Boss video about the lack of mass shootings in the Philippines, they point out how there's a lot of police/security guards all over the country. I think foreigners just like to call the country "lawless" simply because it's poor
I don't know if we have watched the same kdrama but I did remember watching one, it's about a father who was accused of murder not only once but twice (Although he sacrifice/ turn over himself for the first crime he never committed) and he was also a matched donor for his sick daughter. I forgot what it was but it did say in one of the episode that the he will safe in the Philippines something like that. At first I never understand anything about it's meaning and damn hell I admit I was even happy at the mention of our country!
That just show how ignorant I am
Which is ironic considering how insanely strict our immigration office is. God, when I went to Singapore, I just need to scan my passport witgout question then done. But in The Philippines, it's either easy or overly-strict with full interview of even irrelevant questions,
Good, respectful and unbiased comments from the people who got interviewed. The woman in red jacket hit the spot on how PH was once a model country but politicians ruined it. The poor become poorer and rich become richer.
This showed how Koreans are well educated/informed.
I like what one Korean said, “A stereotype is something that gets formed over time to provide a generalized picture. Whether it’s good or bad, it’s grounded on some truth. So rather than rejecting stereotypes blindly, I think improving those stereotypes require input from both sides - the ones who hold prejudiced views and those who want to deny the existence of it.”
I just got back to the USA from the Philippines 9 days ago after a long visit and went to 7 Islands. There are more Korean men there than Americans or Chinese, so someone enjoys the beaches and lovely Filipino people. My Filipino friends do love Korean culture and after USA easily the country they love and admire the most is Korea and the nations are getting closer.
Korea and the Philippines cannot be free from US influence. Some Koreans like the Philippines and travel often, but some people are afraid of it because of the gun culture in the Philippines. My relatives have been to the Philippines often, but I have never been. To be honest, Red Velvet's Wendy, who lived in Canada, is more enviable in Korea than Sandara Park, who lived in the Philippines.
@@user-zc1ml4bb9n difference is, we have better gun control in the archipelago, unlike the States. A friend of mine who lived in Mindanao(a very chaotic region back in the 80s, bombings and gun shootouts being common). Was shocked how common school shootings were in the States when he moved there. He even says New Jersey makes Davao look like one of the safest places out there.
@@gamechanger8908 Agreed. Just got back from 3 weeks in Mindanao and felt safer walking the streets there than in the average American city for this exact reason. To paraphrase a bit of Pinoy black humor I heard a bunch: "To get shot in the Philippines you at least have to do something. In the US you get shot for no reason"
@@gamechanger8908 Tbf that’s not hard to achieve, given how horrific gun violence is in the USA. In fact, the number 1 cause of death among youth now is being shot to death. American school shootings are particularly horrible.
When I visited the Philippines, I saw lots of Korean restaurants and Korean people. The locals also told me they love Korean drama, Korean culture has strong influence in the Philippines...
I think the Philippines has been another popular country for Koreans to go besides USA when they want to study abroad or work in different countries.
Glad to see Korea and the Philippines love each other. Korea love their beautiful beaches, fruits and people while Philippines love Korean cuisine and Korean entertainment.
@@pokepork7747
Indeed. When I visited Boracay, I noticed that some of their convenience stores had Korean drinks imported from Korea. And many Korean tourists there.
And when I was talking to the locals, they often mentioned "F4" who they really like. They sometimes confused with F4 band that some of them thought it's Taiwanese and some thought they are Koreans.

This interview went to show how crucial media's role is in portraying a country's culture.
In the Philippines, most of our entertainment TV shows do not showcase our culture. Most commercial films would focus filming in foreign locations to attract audiences instead of showing off our local tourist and cultural spots. Filipino authors are fighting so hard to gain attention from readers because most of us tend to read more English literature than those written in our local language. The music industry tends to favor and produce English songs than Filipino songs, although we are seemingly entering an era where younger music artists write songs in Filipino and are steadily gaining popularity among their generation, which is really commendable.
In the age of social media here, it is quite hard to find content creators that focus on promoting our culture. There are many famous content creators here, but mostly because of their humor and spontaneity.
Yeah, and it's like they make it a point for the movie characters to be as westernized as they can and speak in english as often as they can. The moviemakers think that is what foreigner viewers want (if there are), when it's really the other way around - they would want to see our as much of our culture in our movies. That is perhaps the reason why it is our independent movies that get to be shown in foreign film festivals and never our mainstream movies.
It's mental colonialism
I appreciate the interviews you are making, it's always nice to see new content and it definetely takes a lot of work but I would like to suggest if you could provide some videos asking more general topics, these videos aren't bad now and then but they are very centered into a specific topic that may not interest a lot of people. Nonetheless thank you for your hard work.
I had the opportunity to visit Seoul in 2016 and unlike most people who shared their thoughts and experiences, I did not receive any rude remarks towards me, staring or anything like that. Quite the opposite actually: the elderly woman offered her seat to me in the train when she was about to get off instead of giving it to other locals. A street sweeper greeted me one morning and tried to have a conversation with me when I took our dog for a walk. Later on, I found out that he was friendly to all tenants in that apartment building. When my sister and I visited Myeongdong, there were no stares which I easily compared to us here in the Philippines where people would stare at visiting foreigners whenever we see one. I used to be like that lol. Well, I am trying to minimize as I grow older cause it is rude, peace!.
I would like to visit Japan too, but I know also that Japanese people do not want attention to themselves and making such a negative views towards any person would create otherwise. I would not be surprised if their treatment of visiting foreigners would be much better than in Seoul given this string stigma.
Be hopeful of a happy experience but also be ready for not the so good experiences when visiting other countries and don’t let the negative aura take much of your stay.
You probably have a fair skin, no?
Sana nga ganun din sila sa ibang pinoy
Baka naman kasi itsurang Korean ka din. Remember, we are so diverse in looks so if you look like a real pinoy or southeast asia I doubt if you'll be treated the same. Koreans are naturally racists and prejudicials.

Maybe you are beautiful, Korean are the same with Filipino we appreciate and loved the attractive good-looking person but we very frank to say that she/he is ugly. Manilinians to bisaya therse is always a discriminations.
I've been to Japan and Korea. I enjoy going to Japan the most, I feel less judged.
There's always good and bad in a country. Like what they say, Koreans can also be tender. If you will ask for help from them they would and some wouldn't. Based on my aunt's experience while travelling there, there are lots of people who helped her. One time when she asked for direction but the guy can't speak english, so he accompanied my aunt to her destination. Some also can be bad like having a prejudice against other nationalities.
In Philippines, there are also people like that. Some would really help you but others would try to trick you, knowing that you're a foreigner. Anyways, you can't expect people to be always good so don't expect much. But I do hope everyone will be nice or at least try to be.
Well put comment and i agree with you. Very country has its pros and cons. I hope we all meet more nice people than bad, as we travel or meet others from different countries.
This is good for us Filipinos to hear. Sometimes, or a lot of times, it is hard for us to hear the truth. There are a lot of learning points for us in this interview. They are very polite in how they answered. I think a lot of us Filipinos nowadays have become so rowdy.

Asian Boss attempts Pinoy baiting. LOL. Stephen Park and the rest of Asian Boss doesn’t really appreciate the Philippines. For the Korean perspective, it’s best to watch Korean vloggers who actually lived in the Philippines: Dasuri Choi, Ryan Bang, Kristy Pata, Jinho Bae…so many. This stuff from Asian Boss is rehearsed, dishonest, and shallow by comparison.
It’s great to hear their insights about the Philippines. They’re all very distinct yet very accurate all at the same time.

@@lin4275 The influx of Korean tourist exist because of the Philippine Tourism's advertisement (which means they are doing a good job). You also have those Korean influencers in the Philippines and those Koreans who studied/lived/ born here dissipate the negative image of Pinas when they go back to Korea! Also, the majority of Koreans that visit the country, go to resorts and stay there. Only a few really go out further outside of the resort to explore. Whether you're a tourist or a local, it's common sense and normal to feel unsafe or scared when walking alone (especially women) late at night near dark alleys and unfamiliar places! I'm sure you've experience the same or something similar. Eh meski malapit ka na nga sa bahay mo na ho-hold up ka parin. Ibang tao pa kaya?
I’m Filipino American born in America and I visited Korea and have had both good and bad experiences. The main bad experience was the amount of racism I got based on my skin color. Customer service was decent but then again I was left without help in a lot of situations. I had a horrible situation in a taxi where the taxi driver was cussing at me and over charged the taxi and it was just not a great experience. It was awkward too when people would just stare at me walking in the streets like I committed a crime lol
Sounds like black peoples view on living in the Philippines 😂😂😂
As always we appreciate getting the real pulse of the people. Cheers asian boss!
My heart is grieving every time i watch Kdramas and movies using the Philippines as the place where criminals ( portrayed in the drama/movie) are hiding or escaping. It's like giving the Philippines negative impressions.
Because its true. Instead of providing rehibilation and proper mental healthcare for your people and those who suffered of addiction, your ex-president kills them instead and you all did nothing which is pretty hypocritical considering the fact that your country is supposed to be the most "religious" country in the whole world. Turns out you are the supporters of murderers and youre just a bunch of cowardly sheeples that can easilly be silenced with money
You should be ashamed of your self if you are a Filipino and you don't support reforms period!
Them East Asians have one glance at us, and they think of our ghettos and slums.
Unless we progress economically, they'll never change that.

All countries have their own dark and bright sides.
There are 2.65 million tourists who visited the Philippines last 2022 and 428,014 of which are Koreans (they are 2nd in ranking after the USA in the No. 1 spot with a total of 505,089). There are a lot of Koreans living in the Philippines permanently too(ph statistics shows). Sad that only bad or negative sides were given an emphasis. I expect that the last question would wrap up positively by asking at least one good pov about the Philippines.
Nevertheless, Filipino in general is genuinely appreciative and welcoming to all tourists regardless of nationality.
🇵🇭💓🇰🇷
I am impressed with the responses of the Seoulites who were interviewed in this video. They were articulate, insightful, analytical, honest and progressive. And if many Seoulite youths share the same values, then there is great hope of changing unfavorable perceptions. Misunderstanding and cultural differences beget prejudice, so dialogue and more exposure to each other’s culture can help improve relations over time.
I left my phone in a seat outside the train station in ICN airport last 2018. After 30 mins, I was able to retrieve it in the lost and found section of the airport. I wish Fiilpinos could have the same honesty.
The Philippines was the first to be westernized. If we're talking specifically about being Americanized. After the Spaniards stayed here in the Philippines, in the late 19th Century Filipinos were already wearing suits and ties as typical street wear.
that's not something to be proud of...
The Philippines is the easiest people to conquered in Asia. Slaved to the Spain for 360 years, slaved to the USA for 60 years. Philippines the slaves.
@@sladesurfer I didn't take as him being proud of it. It's just a fact...
This is why we have no culture,just like the Americans. 😂

I’m Filipino and all i have to say is there will be those people who aren’t very good people in the Philippines, but that’s how it goes everywhere. Not everyone will be bad, but not everyone will be good. It just depends on who you are around and where you go in the Philippines just like many other places.
I had one Korean Student who studied education in the Philippines. I was her mentor in Demo Teaching.She said they owned a School in Korea.She was good and polite.She knows the Philippines well.
Thank you very much for this wonderful interview! I've been waiting for this type of content and it finally happened. I agree with the Koreans' thoughts about The Philippines that making content through social media and improving the economy would help decrease the stereotypes and have knowledge to our country. The Philippines and South Korea has a very good relationship and I hope this will last for a long time!
60% of bananas and pineapples in Korea come from the Philippines. But no coffee. Also, there are no cases where Korean electronics companies have factories in the Philippines. Korea has many exchanges with Vietnam. I hope the two countries will become closer in terms of trade as well.
The woman in the brown jacket is quite perceptive. She is quite empathetic about our status as a developing country unlike Korea. To think that we were a richer country than Korea. I meet some old Koreans in the States and they said looked up to the Philippines back in the 50s when it was richer than Korea.
"I don't think was the image of the Philippines in the past, but more recently it seems politician have changed and are more occupied with taking care with their own interest"

Dilawans and their parties didnt even do anything much after Marcos, so now, almost in every campaign, they feed off the propaganda saying that theyll get the ill-gotten wealth back to the Philippines. But its been decades, theyre all talk ffs.
I'm Filipino, and only had 1 Korean friend from college. He was very introverted and into sports. The only time I got through to him is when I treat him in an all Filipino food buffet and said that it was the best time of his life. Up until now, he loves Filipino cuisine more than Korean, but I'm exactly the opposite. My food stock consists of Korean dishes.
I remember tasting my first home made Korean kimchi from his mom, I'm so sorry that I butchered it's preparation and he got mad at us, but in the end he made a very tasty Kimchi fried rice and that's where my tastebuds migrated.
At the end of the day Philippine as country may have loads of downside when comes to economy and government but we as Filipinos always have the ability to spread happiness to everyone no matter what our circumstances are and that is far more important than anything else,HAPPINESS.
I don't patronize Koreans or idolized them, I just like the entertainment things they shell out (it's not k-dramas but manhwa/webtoon). It's the same way with Japanese because I like anime/manga
same, i love reading their webtoons, and a lot of the stories were adopted into kdramas though.
I used to be a huge fan of K-pop idols, now I only like their variety shows.

That lady is very much informed about how the Philippines evolved from an almost developed to a developing third world country.

@@etrnlygr8tful most of the economy relies on services and industry. It is a industrialized country.

The problem is overpopulation and income inequality. Hopefully we can emerge a better nation in the coming years and no one will be left behind.
The Philippines never fell back in development. We've always been a developing country in both past and present. The rate of our growth has never slowed, at least not until the pandemic which slowed down the entire global economy.

In the early 90's during President Fidel Ramos, PH was considered as sleeping economic Tiger. Now 2023, I think the Tiger already suffered from coma and didn't wake up anymore
Asian dramas like K-drama, C-drama and J-drama are popular in the Philippines because they are well made, from props to background settings are all well thought of. And since the culture and location are different from PH, it offers refreshing new perspective. KPOP is popular here because Filipinos are a sucker for good looks, music is secondary.
I am ever so impressed with how well-educated and articulate your interviewees are in these vox pops. The strength and security that comes from a strong national identity shines through.

Nakakaoffend lang kasi kahit hindi nila sabihin eh mararamdaman mo kung gaano kababa tingin nila sa lahi natin.
Ung Yaya at undergrad na sinasabi nila is mas magaling pang mag English sa kanila 😂😂😂
I'm a Filipino studying a 4-year course at a Korean university. I really loved this video and found it to be entertaining, majority of it being true.
love this
It's crazy to think that some people in Korea treat those who can speak English as someone who belongs to a higher class but also go to Philippines to learn English, where they treat people there with prejudice
왜냐하면 아주 옛날에 한국사람들이 수능시험을 망치고 도피유학으로 필리핀으로 유학 많이 갔어서 그럽니다
필리핀이 싸니까
The majority of the Koreans we met during our stay were friendly and polite. However, we did encounter a few rude ones as well. That front desk lady was the first racist encounter I've ever had, she was rude to us when we asked where the main kitchen was or if we could borrow the weighing scale for our luggage, and she did not have the same tone when 2 white girls entered and asked for their keys. She started small talk with them and spoke politely.
As a Philipino as disheartning as it was for me to realize these negative stereotypes about us I think it's crucial that it'd to be heard, there are some layer of truth to it. We Philipinos often ignore negative stuff which it only makes it harder to improve, but at the same time the result of this makes use positive and relaxed, I don't exactly hate our nature we've learned to look at a problem and just smile like it was nothing, there's strength in that and it's been like this for a long time but I think it's time to face the truth.
As a filipino, I am not at all sad nor enrage with their comments. They are all on point. Filipinos should view the comments as constructive criticism to be better rather than be defensive and all.
"it seems politicians have changed and are more occupied with taking care of their own interests" YES YOU'RE TOTALLY CORRECT. There are only quite a few of politicians who can be called as a "true public servant" but many Filipinos are refusing to accept them due to the rotten mindset of the majority, especially the elderly- which affected us in the recent election. Aside from this, our population is clouded by tons of misinformation and disinformation in the internet.
Im Filipino and I love South Koreans
Yuck!
2:18 He must be referring to CEBU (or Dumaguete City, Bacolod City...) where Tagalog is considered as insignificant foreign language.
For people comparing Korea to Japan, we get it you like Japan more. That's the case with literally every single Asian country right now. Everyone loves Japan. But don't let that be an excuse to find reasons to dislike Korea. Not that Korea is perfect, but just don't let your Japan bias to talk Korea down. Regarding discrimination, I am very positive some Japanese people look down on Southeast Asians just as much as some Koreans do. They even look down on Koreans, how do you think they feel about you SEA? lmao think about that. I think the only difference is they are just better at hiding it.
After looking at some of the comments, I am compelled to say that South Korea loves Philippines. Please don't overgeneralize some of the views to the whole Korea as a country. I believe all countries have good and bad parts to it, and we should all try to hear them out and see where each of us might need to improve on. As the video says, it says "Stereotypes." Stereotypes are not necessarily all true. They are usually an overstatement, and the interviewees said them knowing they are an overstatement/exaggeration.
They are very smart and kind. 🤗
I have been away for over 20-30 years and I noticed a lot Korean food places and even a Korean type spa in Cebu city …well I am not knew to Korean stuff because there are plenty where I live in LA . Philippines is indeed a developing country but certain cities are more developed than others. There are still shanty towns here and there and I feel bad when a government does NOT plan the city layout well. No open spaces no playground. You have to go an expensive cemetery to do your early morning run .
I'm Korean living in Canada but some of the most warm and friendly people I've met are Filipinos.
I hope they also interview older people. Those who were alive during the Korean War. Ask them what they know about the Philippines. And if its possible those who have encountered Filipino soldiers back then.
I just saw a video of Korean war veterans talking about their experience. One said that British soldiers threw rocks at them and shouted that because of them they were also going to die. I felt so bad for them, it's not as if they asked for that war to happened.
GOOD! Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea, is visited by US soldiers who fought in the Korean War once a year as they become elderly. Also, some Ethiopian Korean War veterans come to Korea. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no Filipino Korean War veterans ever came.
What for? So you will hear that Filipinos are great and all?
@@fred8917 Because filipinos made contributions in the war? That's why its relevant to interview korean war veterans? That's obvious, right?
@@Stormreaver456 Tell that to the marines. You all want to hear nice and good compliment from other nationalities. That Filipinos are great, that we were once great. This is a mentality really of people who long to be praised to cover up the insecurities of being a third world country. Ego Narcissistic.
@@fred8917 Atleast filipinos are humbled enough to not mention that their a part of that important event in history? I am not a filipino but I'm just here praising the them for their own contributions to the korean history. TF do you mean they're insure? What?
