As a Korean who has always been dreaming about living abroad, I cannot more agree with what she says. I’ve been told like more than ten thousand times that I SHOULD follow the “rules” or “answers” that the society expects you to follow. They try to control your behaviors or sometimes even your thoughts... Yes, there actually seem to “exist” answers of life at least in Korea... at certain ages you should do this and that (from childhood we’ve been told to enter “good” universities so we can have a successful career from the beginning, which supposedly means to enter “good” companies...) when you should get married, buy a car or a house etc etc... in the end you never stop competing and comparing yourself with others, ending up having lost yourself already... Even though I love Korea, there’s something really suffocating you’d realize once you start living here, and I really hate these monotonous parts of my country, which is why I’m also preparing to move to another country and learning some foreign languages I’m interested in... so I can hopefully manage to find what I truly want and live my own life finally...🏝🙂

I love how she opens all of the realities about Korea. Because if Kdramas and KPOP many people only live in fantasies and nothing else. Im not sayin Korea is bad or somth, but people gotta open up their eyes and be more real about all social problems. I feel sorry for everyone who have to go through monotone and competitive lifestyle, because this is wrong. Life is a gift, time is precious and no job, college, or company will fulfill it. I root for all Korean hoomans who want to change their location, I believe you can do it !

This is a very interesting and deep enough video. I don't know that much about Korean society, I know about Japanese and Chinese though. I can imagine how life there partially is. I talked with a Spanish woman who had studied and was living in Korea and she said she was so annoyed when in a job interview she got asked about if she had a boyfriend and when was she planning to get one. You'd be surprised about the amount of Europeans and Americans who want to blindly go to East Asian countries to live. I guess everywhere has got it's upsides and downsides too.

From my own experience when I was in Thai high school, I was only just quite bold , confident , always to do everything by my own self and I have my own interesting stuffs like martial art or even learning English to communicate. Most people judged me as a tomboy, freak, loony or any mean words to call me about . Girls always had criticized and tell me to be more sweet and delicate like "a normal girl " ? What's wrong with them? And also some boys tried to bully me because of that as well . For God sake , some people in my country still have narrow mindset to respect the difference a lot .

My dad will be 79 tomorrow. My parents and I as an infant left Korea in '73 for what I thought were the typical reasons why people immigrate to the US the land of opportunity. But I did not know until recent years how much of that desire to leave involved my father's distaste for the Korean culture. In many ways, his reasons are the same as yours. He was a SNU med school grad and army officer, pathways that could have lead to a more comfortable life in Korea so there was no socio-economic desperation to leave. He recalled in the army how soldiers would sell their American made vitamins as a side hustle and they would take his allotment because he didn't think it was right to sell, he despised the opportunistic attitude over honor. He didn't like how it was perfectly ok for people to cut in lines or to speak in honorifics because they were more senior or older. "Why do I have to bow down to somebody I don't know just because they are older? What if they're a terrible human being, it doesn't matter in Korean culture." Another example according to him, in corporate Korea or any job really, you could get fired just because your manager doesn't like you or your manager prefers someone else who kisses up to him. Yeah, the hierarchy thing really aggravated him. My parents have lived in a small city in the midwest for almost fifty years away from Koreans (much to my mom's chagrin as she grew up a privileged Seoul city girl), our visits to Korea were infrequent (every 5-6 years) and really only for family visits. Even today, he has very little desire to visit Korea while I take my family every year (wife is similar to you growing up in Korea through college), we spent 2020 in Korea during the pandemic where my then 4 year old could actually attend school in-person (American schools were remote learning for all ages). Having spent close to a year in Korea, I could understand better my father's feelings and the social controls (speed and red light cameras as well as CCTV's everywhere) for the "common good" that for Americans would not be tolerated at all but I still enjoy my visits, I just don't know if I'd live there.

The things that bother me the most in Korea are: 1. The corrupt judicial system, celebrities seem to get away with crimes that a normal person wouldn't. (Burning sun scandal) Sexual criminals getting weak penalties. (Cho Doo-soon Case) 2. Poor level of driving, you hear about idols and actors getting into car accidents all the time, drunk driving and not wearing seatbelt seems too common there. Taxi drivers driving dangerously. 3. Superficial society. Everything is about looks so it's not surprising that plastic surgery is so common there. Photos required for job applications are illegal in some countries. 4. Bullying culture, starting from primary school, through university till the workplace. This Junior-senior system is way too easy to abuse for power harassment. 5. Spy cameras in changing rooms and toilets, Korea is a world leader in producing this kinda content. Again the law and punishments are too weak on this. BUT There are plenty of things I love about Korea, so don't get me wrong, but these 5 things could be improved on.

@@UbermanNullistwhy can't Koreans, for once, just accept criticism and then maybe, maybe, reflect on how to make some positive changes? All countries have pros and cons, and you don't need to be Korean to pick up on things that are, IN YOUR OPINION, not that good. On the contrary, I would say that people that have travelled quite a lot, have way more tools to compare pros and cons of different places, again, not in a condemning way, but as a tool to possibly bring change. I have lived in different European countries (I'm European), I've lived in South America, and I have lived in Korea (although not for a very extended period of time). I also speak intermediate Korean. Would you maybe agree on the fact that I might have quite a lot of tools to compare things (again, not in a bad way) and balance out what are the pros and cons of Korea? Or Koreans only are allowed to speak about what they like and dislike about Korea? I am Italian, but again, I have friends all over the world. I used to laugh along and participate in conversation with some Spanish friends, and other foreigners, bashing Italy and pointing out all the things that don't work as they should. I would say to my Canadian friend living in Italy "good luck going for some official documents, cause you know it might take a lifetime" etc. Italy has many issues, as every country does. And Korea also has many problems. Maybe different in nature, but still problems. The thing that I find the most annoying about Koreans (not everyone of course, most of my friends were not like that) is that they never accept criticism, of course "because you're not Korean, you don't understand how things work here". They always go to any length to find the weirdest argumentation to back up their coming back at you, without realising that, maybe, listening and exchanging different perspectives and experiences with non Koreans would be an effective way to grow as a person first, and to drive change in society as well. God bless my Korean friend that didn't travel much, didn't speak any English, but was always so curious about how I perceived things in Korea, about how things work in different countries. People don't talk about Korean nationalism enough. I really think it is a huge issue. Patriotism is one thing, but in many instances Koreans make it become nationalism, which is never ever a good thing.

I didn't know about some of these things so it's a great opportunity to get more insights into your culture! Some things are hard to understand but I totally agree with you that every place has it's pros and cons like everything else in life. Although some points you brought up were really sad, it's important for me to hear them, since I myself have a very positive image of the country and culture so far. A little bit too positive maybe, so hearing the downsides helps me to think of it more realistically, rather than letting my mind unconsciously incorporate the thought that everything is perfect there.

Confucian values, like respect for and obedience to elders, seniors and authority, seniority in a hierachy. collectivism, subordination of females, have greatly influenced Chinese, Korean and Japanese societies for centuries. But in mainland China, these archaic Confucian values were long swept aside by communism which stresses equality of gender. They also become less pronounced in overseas Chinese societies, like in Singapore, which are much influenced by Western value of equality of gender. Korea is a small peninsula with little natural resources and a huge population and its economy is not doing well. That explains why competition is very keen as opportunities are limited.

Hi mylangs! I lived in Korea for one year and I saw some aspects that you said. (it's been like 5yrs and things may have changed a bit but anyways) I am not sure how the retirement program works there well but I saw many elders living in small rooms or living poorly around Seoul (idk other places but I've seen many around euljiro and hyehwa), and as a foreigner it was very hard to find jobs! (BTW it was mandatory for my internship program) I could only see my Korean colleagues having to get like so many credits in college and work, I still strongly believe it wasn't healthy. Speaking of jobs, I have some friends who are working there nowadays, however I know how many hardships and prejudice they had passed to get their jobs. I do believe though that some companies are becoming more opened up to foreigners but i see it as a long time process. (When I worked there it was for a multicultural company,and the other had the international culture for foreigners but I had friends who worked in the H company that worked for like ~12h outside Seoul in Winter! 😢) But for some reason I still think the quality of life there is better than my country and definitely I wanna try to go back there to work 😅 like, I know nowhere is perfect and it can be lonelier than where I live now (Latin culture) but still I think I could handle it.

I can easily resonate with you on this topic. 1. Collectivism is deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture and modern Chinese society. Has its pros and cons but also good to know that China is on the way of achieving better balance btw collectivism and individualism nowadays. 2. Hierarchy is luckily much less an issue in modern China, at least at workplace. Generally speaking, people with higher qualifications, more experience / expertise, good demonstration of skills earn higher positions in a company. The senior or elder employees may still expect you to be humble and willing to learn but they are def not put on pedestals compared to Mao’s era. That’s probably why there are bunch of young, vibrant and innovative corporations booming in China like Bytedance (parent company of TikTok), Dji, Huawei, Nio (EV manufacturer) etc. 3. Competition. I lived through my entire teenage years in China at probably equal level of competitions as mentioned in this video. Still a pain to just think about it😅 4. Multiculturalism. Not the typical multicultural country as defined in this video as China is not an immigration country like US, Canada, Australia etc. however it doesn’t mean general Chinese culture in modern days is not accepting and tolerant probably because we are a huge country with 56 ethnicities. Lots of people probably do not know that there are a large number of Chinese citizens of Russian ethnicity, Korean ethnicity etc. living near borders. Even within Han ethnic group custom and cultures still vary, such as north vs south, east vs inner west. Especially regions like Tibet and Xinjiang have so unique and rich local culture. 5. Stress. Sad to admit that it is also a serious social issue in China recent years. A good case in point is continuous declining birth rate (together with marriage rate). A mix of contributors to this issue. Still a long way to go. However one thing to add is that China obviously has achieved better gender equality culturally and also at workplace in comparison with countries like Japan, Korea and India. Believe it or not, I personally reckon socialism is one of the contributors to improved gender equality in China. Sad to know that suicide is such a big issue in Korea. 😔 can’t imagine how much stress those ppl were under.

As someone looking at School rules from the other side I can tell you this. Our schools had same rules back in the 70s. Rules stopped at Highschool , higher ed was free as People were of age at that time and can make decisions on their own. But Nowadays after years and years of NO rules, basically Teachers cant do shit. Kids literally Rule the school. You cant punish the bad students that are obstructing class because someone may get offended. And if you wanted to learn something in Class, you can go suck it... Everyone is doing what the Rowdy kid wants to do today. And the worst part is there is VIOLENT competition who has the best Most trendy and most expensive stuff. 97% of school expenses (Since education is free in my country) is Clothes, shoes, Phones and gadgets. Kids change this stuff at the rate 8x faster than adults. And its impossible to combat as Rich parents wanna do it as a Flex so Mid and Low income Parents cant get everyone to agree. And the Kids simply complain about being laughed at (which they do) and shunned out of friend circles. So Some Middle ground should be Found. I agree on hair rules that strict are overboard But Uniforms were proven to Work In Most countries. They only Get abolished to Promote capitalism. Under pressure. Every Country that had a strong Socialist part has proven Uniforms actually affect Students to be more social and Judge people based on akademic skill and personality , not How Rich their parents are. Wierd right, Socialism makes people social... And makes capitalist earn less... Hmmm US might be onto something... It also makes sense because Socialists were never afraid of Chaebol's...

Everyone is unhappy with where they are at. Let me tell you my story. I'm a Korean American that went to the US in 1995 at the age of 9. And I have to say that my most happy days were those 9 years growing up in Korea, not the 26 years of life I've spent in the US. I was forced to go to the US because of my parents and couldn't leave because of them. Just because you go to a country that is more wealthy and rich, it won't always make you happy. Some North Koreans that defected to the South isn't happy and they want to go back. I kinda of feel the same about the US. Of course there are things that I like about the US more than Korea but overall, Im not happy living in the US. I'm a Korean male so who knows, I could have been treated differently if I'm a Korean girl. There are so many white dudes that want to sleep with Asian women. So they probably would want you here. I only like two things about the US more than Korea. Education system and Jobs. That's it. Everything else isn't that much better. Most old Koreans want to come here because they grew up poor but they don't realize that I didn't live in their era, post Korean-war era. So they shouldn't take their bad experiences and apply that to my life, assume that I will also grow up poor. I grew up when Korea was already a developed country so I didn't starve. America being more developed than Korea is a century year old story. You are talking about like the 1800s to 1990 where during the 1800s, the US had more advanced things than Korea like electricity, cars, rails, modern buildings etc. meanwhile Korea didn't have that. And of course in the 1950s, the Korean war fucked us all up and it took korea nearly 40 years to recover from it. The older folks thank the US but the US actually started the war in the first place because they were flexing their muscles with the Soviets Union scrubs. So anyway, besides from having better education and jobs, I honestly don't know what the US offers better than Korea. Their infrastructure is crap and a century old, transportation is garbage so you need a car. Health system here is a joke even with insurance. They rip you off by forcing you uneccessary treatment just to make more cash. Try to go subway in the US, you like to smell poop and piss? You get plenty of that. American society has so much more issues that you cant list them all. Language barrier, cultural difference, racism, discrimination, prejudice, random violence, bullying, stealing and murder. Depending on where you go, it's a fucking semi-rich modern 3rd world shithole country that is wearing Gucci belt, and Rolex watch. Everydays, people die from gun shooting. I bet Koreans aren't aware of that. Hierarchy and being judge are some of the problem you face in Korean society but these problems exist in every country. Americans with higher income and high status brag about their status all the time. The rich folks here flex and show off all the time. Being judge is something I experienced everytime. I was extremely skinny during middle and high school and kids tease and talk about my skinny look everyday. People judging you is just human nature, got nothing to do with Korean society. And on the streets in the US, it is dangerous. You can just chill and walk like you do in Korea. Watch for druggies, homeless, alchohlics, crackheads, mental retards and fuck-ups roaming around all over. They constantly ask you for money, cigarretts, lighters, even cellphones to call their gay friends. Even when i was in elementry school, kids ask me for money all the time. Their parents are obviously uneducated drug addicts themselves. But can you imagine this shit? Being in the richest country in the world and you get asked for money everyday? That is so fucked up. And you hate korea being homogenous? That's better than being a victim of racism. America is the most racist country in the world. I'd rather live with people of same color rather than being surrounded by diversity. Diversity causes racism. Everywhere you go, you meet people with diffeent color and they treat you based on your ethnicity. So if you are asian, you get treated like shit. You are a second class citizen and you don't even count. You are not even a human being to these people. I felt lots of microaggression and random hatred even though i didn't do nothing. Making friends in America as Asian guy can be difficult as i tried to connect with people, I get more hate. People spat on me, push me away, tell me to fuck off, shove me down to the ground, smack me in the head and tell me to get lost. I could go on but I'll stop here. I'm planning to return to my homeland soon. People think white dudes are heroes you see in Hollywood films and shit but let me tell you, some americans are like the most degenerate, uneducated and uncivilized lowest of the low shithole human beings i've ever met. Even if they offer me a 1 billion dollar mansion to live, i still wouldn't live here.

Really interesting to here these views from a young Korean. I'm ethnic Chinese (not from mainland China) and speak Korean, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese with understanding of other Chinese dialects. I really love Korean culture, food and entertainment but I feel that Koreans really take Confucianism to its extreme, much more so than the Chinese and even the Japanese. As a foreigner visiting Korea I could feel this stifling hierarchy that obsessively needs to place each individual in a hierarchy. A group of young people meet in a social setting and one of the first things they do is ask when each person is born...they then rank each other by age so those who are younger have to call everyone older unnie or hyung even if he or she is 6 months older (simply because the older person is born in the year before), and speak to the older person(s) in polite language. In return, the older person(s) is then obliged to buy the younger ones meal, take care of them and guide them. This is magnified many times in work settings, formal situations and where the age or experience gap is even wider. Everyone is addressed by work titles, with appropriate honorifics attached to the title. In Korea, I've had older Korean people talking down to me (in casual language) while I was waiting at a bus stop. They were completely strangers and although I'm sure they had no ill intentions, it just felt uncomfortable that I was automatically placed in the position of someone "inferior to them" simply because I looked younger. On the other hand, a few young Koreans who looked around the same age as me used really polite language while helping me out at a subway station. I didn't feel I deserved that level of politeness, but I know it's their way of showing good-manners and they were probably taught to do this by the older generation. I went on a trip with a tour group in Korea consisting of both Koreans and foreigners. The tour guide would make her explanations in English and repeat the same content in Korean so everyone could understand. When she spoke in English, she sounded very friendly and even injected her explanations with jokes making us laugh, but when she repeated the same explanations and instructions in Korean, she would use very formal language, not joke at all, and her instructions about where to go etc. would be expressed as requests. It was really interesting to observe the change in dynamics when the same thing was expressed in two different languages. Although Japanese also has honorifics in their language, their concept is more based on inner circle vs outer circle. So one would speak to close friends who are older, older siblings and even parents in informal language while others in the outer circle like superiors at work would be addressed using the honorific language. Comparatively, while respect for older people is also an important concept among Chinese, they don't take this to the same extent as Korean. We do bow to our teachers (in schools I attended it was done before and after each class for greetings), parents (during special occasions like weddings) and older people, the hierarchy is not that strict and there isn't the strict honorific system that Koreans and Japanese have in the language.

@@mylangs Definitely the cultures are considerably similar but I think in Vietnam, some aspects are not that harsh like in Korea, as you mentioned. Collectivism... yeah! Not to mention it is the core aspect of Vietnam politics. Compulsory school uniform, social conformity… yeah! But female students are free to choose their hair length. And I personally like girls with long hair, so attractive and feminine! For adults, dyed hair is weird and considered really bad in many traditional families, but now when the culture becomes more open, people could have their own personal styles. Competition, prestigious schools, a bunch of entrance exams… yeah! The only reasons for students in Vietnam to go to school are high scores in exams, good university, even the chosen major is determined by how high your UEE scores are. Most of them don’t even know what they wanna do with their career, but they keep going because of peer pressure and social pressure. Stress… yeah! When people follow the “social excellence” with no good reasons from the inner self, stress is enormous, because the race of better life never ends and anyone who quits the race is considered a loser. However, I don’t see much of suicide, most of them solve the problem by frequently drinking alcohol with friends. Hierarchy in the workplace… I don’t know, I am just a fresh graduate and I have not much experience. But the first company that I got in has a really good working environment, all stakeholders of one project have their own voices and they could ask for help whenever they need it. Maybe because the CEO is quite young, used to study abroad, thus, is more open-minded.

Point Nr. 1 the individualism in the western countrys is the death for the cultures. Pure egoism and i hate it so much. Point Nr. 2 respect is dying in our western culture Point Nr 3 yes to much pressure, in Japan in the 80s and 90s we saw how this can end Point Nr 4 Do it better and give it time. it takes time. Make it slow with no oppression. thats better Point Nr 5 that is sad but this might also change in time.
