Wex my man! Congratulations on being a dad and super big 🎉 for the engagement my man! These kids don’t get how big this is for you! Glad to have you back! Looking forward to more updates!
One of the discussions made me think how it was different for gamers in social setting back when arcades was booming. Arcades was a place to meet and compete after work. The ipads and mobile game advances found a way to disconnect rather then connect people.
They are not banning you, it’s your fault for not denouncing Korean citizenship. Of course they will arrest you when you go in because by law, if you are Korean male, you have to serve the military. You waited too long, I think you have to denounce it before 25 or something. Should’ve been more careful and looked into it.
I think it's also because he revealed his dual-citizenship. I know a number of dual citizen Korean male adults who've entered Korea without any problem because they never revealed their dual citizenship. Now when I say don't reveal dual citizenship, don't reveal the Korean side. The Korean side would've broken the law by dodging conscription.
i think you still have to serve in the military even if you denounce your citizenship. it's kind of stupid. like why would you want someone to serve in the military if they want to denounce their citizenships.
@porcorosso4330 so its if u want denounce the korean citizenship you need to serve first. it was cuz people would buy citizenships from third world countries to avoid the draft, and then come back to korea to work with a visa. It was becoming a problem, so they just got rid of that loophole of if u wanna stay or work in korea u have to serve, or else stay in your country of citizenship that you chose. And since people who bought the citizenships usually dont want to stay in the country they bought it from, it decreased the problem.
It's not "banning", a lot of countries don't allow dual citizenship. You have to choose your citizenship as you reach certain age, and as a Korean male citizen you are required to serve military and if you don't ofc you will be arrested like all the other Koreans in Korea.
It saddens me that the majority of the young Korean male dual citizens miss out on South Korea. I know a lot of Korean female dual citizens who love being in South Korea. South Korea allows dual citizenship when a person reaches a certain old age (60?). And there are dual citizen Korean males who've entered South Korea at a young age. Kids don't have to choose their citizenship yet.
34:49 i have read that they want to see about 10% utilizations.... and it really only "counts" at statement time... so you don't want to pay it down to 0 before the statement comes out... if you pay it down to 0 before the statement comes out, it will just count as 0% utilization which also doesn't help build credit...
I'm korean-american, and I can't go to Korea. If I want to stay in Korea for more than 3 months, I'll be forced to do mandatory military service. I had dual citizenship when I was young, but I forfeited my korean citizenship since I was born in the US and lived for 24 years, in that moment. I cannot go to South Korea, and I don't even speak the language.
35:37 some places kind of do that... they split into stem or language arts after 10th grade or something... some places like japan, high school is not mandatory... a lot of young people choose to go to technical schools or technical high schools or trade schools...
I came here legally and my Korean passport expired on my 18th birthday. A lot of paperwork to get exempted, so if he goes through all that, he can go back to Korea. I believe females can have duel citizenship. At one point of I had alien registration card from both Korea and USA.
53:02 I feel this. I'm nicer about the content I see on RU-vid but always judging what I see on Instagram. I think that just means RU-vid caters to my tastes a bit better than Instagram does
You don't get banned. You get taken into the military after a few months of staying in Korea. How do I know? Cause I'm also in the same situation and I go back to Korea all the time.
34:07 $5000 is not bad at all. some banks/credit card companies are really stingy with increasing credit... i mean $5000 could be spent by a single trip to Korea just for the flight + room and board... which is very inconvenient (1st world problems i know) that said, to a degree, you can always pay down the credit card to free up some credit... not ideal, but if that's what you have to do...
28:24 fujianhua is a global language you can use it everywhere there is Chinese people (throughout south east asia and china towns across the world where chinese people used to gather) because those were the people that traveled the furthest since they already lived on coast if china that said, i guess 2nd and 3rd language speak the language less and less. mass media also impacts that. also the general rise if mainland china also means they do dominate chinese media which they mostly enforced Mandarin...
33:09 there is no point of using a calculator if you don't know the equations to infer the relationship 1st. but sure, in general, maybe more life skills should be taught during k to 12.
