10 Things I DONT LIKE About Living in Korea (as an American) 

I agree with most of your points. Amazing how you were able to spot all these! Just that I wouldn’t say mandatory drinking is a common thing. It only happens in a certain high-end restaurants or restaurants in a certain neighborhood. (Touristic&Hippy places) elsewhere u don’t really experience this. Enjoy your staying here!

I love the content like this because almost everyone is taking about how fabulous Korea is. Oh Korea is beautiful wonderful fantastic but not so many wants to talk about negative side of Korea. There is nothing wrong talking about things like this. So that people can learn and improve the situations. Thank you 🙏

great tips! thank you 🙏

Very helpful. Some good points I never had heard.

dang ive been watching korean content for a years (good and bad) and most of these complaints I've never heard of!! Thanks for the new insights!

Yo david, i first started watching your vids a few weeks ago when I was looking for Danang vids. I'm also a californian living in korea now (coming up on 4 years) and all these were right on the money. I hadn't already done so but I subbed today, keep up the good work. Fuggin mosquitos.... I also use a net for sleeping and taped all the window edges lol. We got the hot and tasty blood yo. There are covers for the sewage holes in bathroom/sinks that can prevent smell and maybe mosquitos coming in? Honestly I don't know how they come in either... Taxi drivers are the scourge of the korean roads, and this comes from not as a rider but as a driver. You'd think they'd be good drivers since they drive all day but they are damn awful, not turning on blinkers, stopping in the middle of the road, double parking. Makes me "yok" all the time. If you don't have a korean number, there should be plenty of VoIP apps where you can get numbers for at least the restaurant waiting. The cellphone authentification for EVERYTHING is actually convenient for me but it being a requirement is troublesome for visitors.

any good, authentic pho in Seoul?

Wait what??? People force you to order alcohol???

I hate this housing system. None of the developed country has it. You earn enough money, have a nice house, but it's in another world. Here, you have to have zillion dollars, then freeeze them for at least for two years, and live and pay rental fee. You could have invested money, or buy something, or go for trip, no you have to lose money on this shit system. And as you put deposit in Korean wons, you lose in inflation pretty much. For example in two years, for renting small room, i lost 2.500$, because of inflation,as i exchanged dollars to won then won back to usd. It's pretty much for me. I could have had two week trip in Thailand with family for this money

Taxi drivers mmm. Your story is pretty bad. My worst taxi driver experience was when he got extremely angry at us because I was digging in to get my wallet out. He barked that I should have had money out already. Can you believe that?

I should have watched such videos before moving in Seoul instead of female Russian speaking bloggers. They have rich husbands, who solves all problems

Who said Korea was perfect??? The delusional y’all must be living to be thinking anyone but the Koreaboos think korea of all countries is perfect. Like please.
