Canadian guy invited parents to Korea for the first time | life in Korea 

Facts!!

Why would you feel sorry? Working on appearances is one of many things people should be doing, especially if they are a public figure... I'm not saying it's a must, but a person who takes the effort to value their appearance will always outshine those who don't. The issue with foreigners is that they think of this as an insult to those who are ugly or fat or have some disorder. They try to shift the blame onto social expectations, rather than actually changing themselves. The majority of people can change. Just maintain a good hygiene, skincare, and fitness routine, and you'll easily look much better than those who don't. This isn't about being born handsome or pretty. It's about showing that you at least have some self-respect and willingness to make a good impression, which are important in any professional field anywhere in the world. Evan, for example, is not necessarily handsome or anything. He just knows how to dress himself and look good. If you really don't want to do anything, then you can go on the hundreds of other Korean shows that are more casual. And yes, they exist (a lot do in fact) but aren't as popular overseas bc it's not about Idols, beauty/sales products, and Kpop.

@@mandy11254 it’s not only about that. Koreans try to fake their appearance. Buying expensive cars to impress the others even they can actually not afford these kind of car. They live in their basement and eat almost everyday ramen because they cannot afford to eat proper food everyday but they drive bmw Mercedes to impress other people. It’s not only the look of people. And why is the look so important? Yes of course it is so essential to leave some kind of expression to the others but you don’t have to to survive in der society. The main issue is that Koreans are way too sensitive. Creating words like “outsider” Oder “insider” to separate people is just sad. Everyone should have the social freedom to look and wear whatever they like and want and not follow every freaking trend and buy everything to show other people that they are not “outsider”

Exactly. Koreans culture is very superficial that's why they are obsessed with that plastic surgery . very sad.

​@@mandy11254Woah woah mr let me stop u there i don't think u are from korea or even have the slightest idea how bad things are there imagine not getting a job just because you don't fit the made up fake and artificial standard of the spineless society korea has (+the toxicity) Not having friend because they think you are too ugly for them to hang out with them (happens 90+% times they might not say to u in ur face but make up excuse rarely 1% people there won't judge u based on ur looks [U might say it happens every where but there is a point where people stop caring about such trivial sh*t but nope not in korea doesn't matter if ur 15,25 or even 55 u have to look a certain kpop way to not get judged in public places] )it's bad and it's getting even worse getting kids as young as 16 to get plastic eye surgery (to get the double eye lid or else they say u look angry all the time) like what does that even mean .

guess it's because Korea's far smaller than Canada. It's just not possible to make rooms spacious enough like in huge cuontries like Canada and US

Demand is too high because Seoul alone comprises 50% of the country's population, maybe even slightly more. All in an area of only around 12,000 km2. The area of the whole country is slightly more than 100,000 km2

Studio apartments are common in cities, even in Montreal where McGill is located.

@@alisonfraser8231 True, but they are much bigger than this. So maybe their definition of studio = micro apartment.🤔

Yeah the differences in the definition of studio when comparing Korean to English. It’s impossible to translate

I assume there would be a full size kitchen and maybe a space for a sofa in a studio?

My studio in Toronto wasn't significantly larger, with the kitchen and sofa sharing the same space. Some are even located in basements without windows.

literally

Meanwhile it's the opposite in Singapore. High rise public housing flats are getting bigger, probably to encourage families to have more children.

Exactly 👍!

i'd agree 10 years ago, canada as of now is just as bad to be a working person in with the housing crisis and stuff

​@@3xi1eCanada is a developed country it'll be fine.

he can make use of the white worship in korea. He can easily find a korean wife

why would he find a chinse wife@@OCV102

Seoul more expensive than New York State, yes. But NYC? Hell no. You know the cost of a studio in downtown Manhattan is well over 3k USD right? For a studio like this guy even in Gangnam would probably be closer to 1K USD

I think he means just on the street, like in Korea they immediately know you are a foreigner without even hearing you speak but in Canada you dont assume anyone is a foreigner unless they have an accent. Im not Canadian but its like that in Australia aswell.

I'm like 50/50 on this. In a sense, international students or newcomers aren't necessary seen as "foreigners" - since there's a plethora of Canadians from the same country as them. It's less about race in Canada (compared to Korea) and more so whether someone meets our cultural norms.

canada as a country accepts immigrants more for compassionate and demographic reasons than monetary or skill reasons

It’s most definitely among the like top3, it’s a VERY good school.

You will find it is the oldest and best

It's consistently in the top 3 in Canada and have taken the #1 spot a number of times

MCGill is one of the best school in Canada

​@@vaninelliniThat's not how we do things in Canada. Every university has a few departments that are really good and exclusive, and other departments that aren't that prestigious. Some programs at McGill are fairly easy to get into and complete.

in korea white and tall = handsome

what an unnecessary comment...

different beauty standards mate, what u might think is good looking in australia may as well be ugly in korea

we have different beauty standard bruh.. our girls don't like big muscled guys as you do... and we don't like big bums so ye

because of the white worship the standard is quite low in SK. Only need to be white

그냥 외국을 좋아하니까.. 외국인들이 좋은거겠쥬

Yes, Sayuri is Japanese but she's been in South Korea for at least 15 years now
