French lady sings the hardest traditional Korean folksong | K-DOC 

Many people do it

@@mohannarayan4603 I know?

Too bad they will discriminate against her because of something stupid like her race and weight

@@mohannarayan4603 yup and we will all clap and congratulate them on these amazing achievements! To do so much is always worth celebrating!

@@mohannarayan4603 Yes. So, what???

That's the best thing I've seen.

@@guens01 uP

The thing is, there are several high calibre Korean opera singers singing in Italian and German, but I doubt they are as immersed in the culture as she is. Laure is quite amazing!

You could just say French Woman. We would know what you're talking about. Or her name would have been serviceable considering the entire video is about her.

Yes I love it so much

Agree

Even numbers

Black people in hanbok...absolutely gorgeous

Yes!!! It suits her very well!!

My question : if Koreans wear like black it's cultural appropriation. Why tf it's suddenly not ok? Some people said to me that some black people are ok and some don't. I don't think all Koreans are ok with it?? Just asking, is cultural appropriation even legit if the person that wear them knows the history?

Usually i only see videos about black people being discriminated against in asian countries so seeing this was just so refreshing. No mocking commentary about her skin color, nobody being rude to her, just a beautiful girl having a good time

@@herzen9857 yessss

Me too..agreed. Very positive and uplifting.

@@herzen9857 as European living in Poland.. the racism here is unbelievable even though I travelled Asian countries and America. Much serious and worse than anywhere. Most do not know what is racism but ignore it. Seen none Polish kids bullied and have thoughts of they are not acceptable in schools are what people thinks. Therefore, leads to dangerous ends and more yea. Unlike Korea or America, racism are reported less and tend to not care. My foreigner friends want to leave the country due to heavy spits, shaming and physically hurt by people. You can witness it in streets and wherever you go in areas of mostly foreigners. My fellow people are not afraid to say racism ignorant of you. This is similar for other European countries as my friends/workers/foreign families says. Again not reported or that ignorant towards racism. Not consider an big issue. Most here are all white people none of others.. so lack of knowing and education too. Pretty ridiculous.. like what happened with German DJ with BTS, most have similar thoughts..

@@ThuyDuong-dn3tp Lol I just read ur comment. Im Dutch and really agree with you. Rarely can see people from around the world. Few cares about race or racism for sure + everday is challenge with racism issues, if looks different than you from different country. Hard to live as abroad people. The problem hits hard for especially Asians, next up are Black people. Alot believe they are not being racist but they are, frequent happens with racism. Tsk

@Big Black dick not everyone is welcome in different countries, you should know that

@@jazzy4397 they're trolling. Look at the username

@@asideofaioli4630 lol

If it's in moderation no one would care.

Yeah for the camera's

Yep. Many Africans and Europeans (seems she's French-Cameroonian) speak English. Many speak 2+ so not surprised she's good at Korean too, esp after living in Korea a yr

the average language count in France is 3 since you learn english plus a second language in school. She's still an amazing person tho

@@esther6664 yeah you learn 2 foreign languages at school in France but most people are really bad at it the average French person doesn’t even master English ..

And she's black too! Lols most African descendants can speak from 5 to infinity of languages. And now you know

@@sarahwashington00 lol, In Romania u learn 4 languages in school😀

Aye Plantains 😍

Yeah 😂

we call em bakbananen or bakabana here in the netherlands

From where I’m living in Asia, we call it bananas. Saying plantain will make people wonder what it is 😅

@@cvbuy108 but plantains and bananas are different fruits, it’s like potatoes and sweet potatoes, or lemons and limes.

Truuue I’m actually crying over how adorable she is 😭

Same!!! It’s beautifully overwhelming.

I don’t want to seem rude for saying this but I’d take this with a grain of salt because this comes a show called “My Neighbor Charles” which is kind of infamous for portraying black/brown countries and cultures in a negative light and sugarcoating the reality to prevent them from looking bad.

@@mattbundy6795 I think I agree but I really do appreciate the actual diversity shown on the channel. You’re right though about the sugarcoating and I don’t know if the cultures are always portrayed well. I feel like sometimes they act as if Korean culture is modern and superior, like when it comes to sexism (women doing everything for the man) they act surprised when They hear about it in other cultures but I know and read multiple times that Korea is pretty conservative and does the same practices. Even when compared to other cultures where sexism is frequent (Liberian and Indian culture) Korea is similar but they act as if it’s surprising. They also downplay other issues basically most things that are negative like racism, xenophobia, fatphobia, and sexism. However that’s probably because it’s a family show but they are important to address to some degree

Sure 😊 thing West Africa- Nigeria

do you know which song she is singing?

@Dulce Sunshine yeah

I felt that too! I was like hmmm that sounds familiar

I'm camerounian !! 💜

@@Violet-fg9db aww 🥺 glad to hear that sis 😊

@@Violet-fg9db me toooo!!

SHE REALLY IS!!! STUNNING!

Yes! And grocery shopping when you are hungry too! That’s the worst!

Cultural appropriation is the bane of spreading cultures tbh. Why can’t we learn about and experience different cultures? Imagine saying you can’t do something because you’re not that race. Talk about racist...

Who is accusing her of cultural appropriation? You're acting as if people are in the comments dog piling onto her and saying this is appropriation. As long as it's done with intent, care and in the right manner it's not appropriation. I've only seen good comments praising her intelligence, bravery and her singing.

I've seen zero call this cultural appropriation. Culture appropriation is when you disrespect or only use stereotypes of a culture especially a marginalized one

Ppl confuse ‘cultural appropriation’ with ‘cultural appreciation’ far too often. This is appreciation ♥️♥️

Agree. Let’s make cultural appreciation the norm instead 💞

Most “appropriation” isn’t even offensive to the actual culture it’s usually Americans complaining and thinking they somehow represent the culture they’re “defending”

As an asian I don't even know what cultural appropriation is growing up. We weren't really taught about it. Honestly we would even appreciate it if foreigners wear our national costumes and experience our culture as long as they don't do it to be offensive.

@@missm1776 Appropriation is not simply enjoying/participating in a culture that's not your own. Appropriation is profiting from another's culture (especially an oppressed culture) without giving them due credit and recognition. There is a power dynamic of a privileged person/culture stealing from an underprivileged person/culture. A lot of people get confused about this. The people who are singing in this video are simply wholesomely enjoying other cultures, they are not appropriating.

Right?! I loved that dinner scene .

@@niceclaup1 a non-japanese person wearing kimono is appreciation for japanese culture. kim kardashian, also not japanese, attempting to copyright the term kimono for a brand of spanx is an attempt at appropriating japanese culture. that's how i explain it

How would you put ‘han’ in your own words, if you don’t mind? I’ve only heard very academic, dry summaries.

@@namedrop721 It’s a very ambiguous word and even Koreans find it hard to explain the exact meaning. For me, “han” is a painful memory and feeling. It’s a knotted emotional bitterness, regret, resentment, etc. It can be used in so many contexts. For example, if you loved someone and they suddenly moved away or got married and you didn’t tell them about your feelings, you would have that feeling of “han” knotted in the deepest part of your heart. It’s an aching feeling. Another example, if you had always wanted to become an opera singer but grew too old working at a safe but meaningless office job for 40 years, you would have “han” deep down your heart. Another example, if you had an argument with your mom and she suddenly passed away and you didn’t apologize, it will remain as “han” wrenching your heart forever. It’s not easy to get rid of it, and they say you die with it. You can remove it by fulfilling what you couldn’t in that situation, so in this case, confessing your love to that person, becoming an opera singer, and apologizing to your mom. But most of the time you can’t. The only real way to get rid of “han” is to just let go.

@@ihatewinia woah

@@ihatewinia thank you for the explanation,

@@ihatewinia Is it similar to regretting something?

And acceptance. Which can be hard for black people to find in Asian countries. This was refreshing to see.

Biensur que tu peux ma belle, fonce, on a qu une vie et il n est jamais trop tard pour accomplir ses reves !

@@Mllemama1 Merci pour ces mots d'encouragements. En la voyant tout laisser pour réaliser son rêve, cela me donne des ailes. La seule difference entre elle et moi, c'est que je suis beaucoup plus agée. Mais bon!!! Je veux juste apprendre ces deux langues, pas forcément apprendre le Pansori ou autre. :-)

Moi aussi, j'adore ces 2 langues et cultures. Je rêve d'y aller mais le covid à gâcher mes projets.😔

@@emmasogan7899 C'est provisoire, une fois la crise maîtrisée, tu pourras y aller profites-en pour te préparer financièrement et linguistiquement 👍!

@@marie-laurepolydore3124 De nos jours l'âge ne veut plus rien dire, on peut tout faire, tout voir, tout apprendre tant qu'on a la motivation et la santé, alors foncez, sinon vous regretterez à tout jamais de ne pas avoir essayé !

Now I know where Panamanian women get the cutting vegetables in the hands tradition!

i do that too but I prefer cutting onions on cutting board cuz it easier

She is not African, she is French before anything else. Referring to her as being African echoes to the racists and right extremists in France referring to ethnic minorities (born in France), as foreigners. So no, she's not "African", she's French. You can be black and be French how shocking... smh

That's just how they do it traditionally around the world it seems.

@@hyacinthec7297 lmao she's still African. Racists will always be racists whether you address them or not, whether you use politically correct terms or not. You can never change the mind of a racist. French or not, she's still African. You most definitely do not understand why I said that, so just don't say things for the sake. This is not a political comment, this is an ethnic comment. Get it right.

@@davidjacobs8558 While it is true, griots are still very relevant to people's life today and a very integral part of west african cultures and musical traditions. It is an on going tradition you see at birthdays, weddings, religious holidays, the celebration of a birth or when someone passes away, etc. Hence the comparison with griots specifically and not ancient Greece...

And Jeanne Caro you made me think of an haitian dish made of pork "griot" What a small world! We use the same word on different purpose!!😲

@@justsomegirl95 me too I was like why is he calling her food ? 😅

@@justsomegirl95 OMG! This is the very first time I hear anyone talk about the delicious Haitian "griot"! I loved it so much, and I have tried to cook it on my own but never really had a recipe that I could follow. But anyway, nothing tastes as good as when you eat it in its place of origin.

Saaame😭👏🏽👏🏽💕

100% lol

She might have gotten a grant from the French government to study Pansori in Korea.

She's french

@@pioupiou1603 yes I know, but for those of us whose countries have been colonized by the French, we will still carry our African culture with us because our parents will make sure we do. Unless you're a francophone my comment won't really mean much to you.

@@ladydiamondprisca And please keep it up, it's soooo soooo good! I am French and some of my uncles and aunts are from Morocco, Martinique, Algeria (and more). Family reunions are unique when they prepare dishes typical of their origins, and it allows everyone to share something and the children to get used to other cultures ! :D

You know very well white people in America are. It allowed to celebrate or talk about other cultures. If we did we would be culture appropriating according to a small percentage of people. But there’s videos of people being beat up just for having dreads. Even though dreads was 100% apart of our history as well. It also teaches children to feel MORE divided but not allowing them to explore other cultures

Her mother tongue is French what are you on about. Just because she's black doesn't mean she's not French ffs

@@hyacinthec7297 It does.

@@magyareuro2173 gtfo with your racism

@@hyacinthec7297 It's not Racism. Native French are White/European. She's nationally black french.

@@hyacinthec7297 You are suggesting that everyone can be French and by extension European on a cultural and Ethnic level. Which one isn't your decision and two is a gross attempt to steal what isn't yours and degrade our identity as a people and nation which is racist. We can't be African and you guys can't be European. Nationality wise sure anyone can be anything it's a passport and a birth certificate nothing more. She is Black French. She's not French that identity belongs to the French who are white.

EXACTLLLY. FRENCH ISN'T EVEN A RACE.

Nationally she is french. Franks are white. She isn't French.

@@magyareuro2173 You are not French, therefore your opinion is not legit. We French are a multicultural people not a race. By the way, the most part of the French people descent from much more ethnic groups than only Franks, who do not exist anymore. Let those who are concerned (French people) tell themselves what the situation is and don't state things you don't even know. Saying that French people are only descendent of Germany Franks is kind of wrong and above all hurting. (Sorry for my English)

@@happache3967 I know the french are not only Germanic as Southern French are other Europeans. I'm European so my opinion is legit enough. Being multicultural isn't a good thing and you can't say you are when Parisians are constantly trying to manage the way everyone speaks and acts. Ethnic French are European. Not black. She's French nationality wise but that's it.

@@magyareuro2173 So what does "French" mean to you?

Exactly! I was just thinking, it's great the title didn't even mention her skin colour. She's a woman that speaks French normally, who can sing a hard Korean song.

Why are you so pressed ???? Maybe people are mentioning her race because they're proud to see themselves being represented in media ??? Maybe they're mentioning her race because they can recognize parts of their culture in her ??? Tf is wrong with that ?? This whole comment reeks of performative activism. As long as people aren't saying "she's good for a black person" "wow I didnt know black ppl could do that" or something along those lines then NOTHING IS WRONG.

Fr

She is not french if she is black.

@@glebsokolov9959 Yes, she is. French is a nationality, not a race. Stop being obsessed with race.

Ikr! Fried bananas sounds cute, tho.

@Cocoarie mingz I've tried it on accident it's not bad😭 but like hm it might taste a little weird to some people,, but I think it will be a nice topping for food,, it made me so full 😟

@Cocoarie mingz try deep fried banana , its a real dessert in SEA

@@ShigenoiUma surprisingly, they are a thing in some south eastern countries, which people eat as a dessert and they are cute as hell :)
