Korean Bird talks about his time in the Military 

If you have any questions you'd like me to ask him let me know and I can try to include them in a future video

him jamming out to kanye’s lift yourself is the cutest thing

Him talking about the military in that skin it’s sad and funny

damn i like that korean guy.His avatar fits him ahah

when he started geeking out over Twice I started sobbing

What a sharp difference from the vulgarity and insincerity of gaming culture. I love it

It's sad that he can't find a job. He's such a nice and wholesome guy who deserves more. I wish there was a gofundme for him

It was so cute when he lit up when they started talking about twice

Inspirational birb is beautiful korean birb

0:49 "I want to have lots of friends from other country." Leo now streams on Twitch and plays games with lots of us from across the world, and he found his friends because of this vid! ^_^

I saw your video well. So , im korean too His episode was very sad and heavy Im sorry about his army friend I want to talk to him ' you are very strong guy. ' he is very strong and spirited When i get that situation i'll get a crazy He is very great guy. yeah he is

There's something about the disconnection from physical space that really lets people really open up. I think the best of VRchat seems incredibly humanizing and allows for the development of real connections.

am i the only one crying here? the combination of broken english and sad truth gets to me

Small korean bird in Polish Ground Forces uniform. How sweet :D

This guy is such a precious cinnamon roll, WE must protect him.

5:16 Korean bird is being super serious and there is a disco ball bobbing by.

Wow. I was expecting some laughs but this was so wholesome. Thanks, Syrmor. I didn't know I needed this.

Awe he is too pure

I think the fact he was a cute little bird really lessened the blow of all the things he talked about.

I could listen to this guy for hours

*great now i want to run into a korean bird*

He's such a nice guy that he didn't like "Bye Felicia" cuz he was afraid of offending them omllll so pure

Beyond all the memes VRchat is just a brilliant game

I feel like people are much more honest and nicer in VR Chat. It’s just not that easy to be like that irl.

*Poopy-di scoop* *Scoop-diddy-whoop* *Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop* *Poop-di-scoopty* *Scoopty-whoop* *Whoopity-scoop, whoop-poop* *Poop-diddy, whoop-scoop* *Poop, poop* *Scoop-diddy-whoop* *Whoop-diddy-scoop* *Whoop-diddy-scoop, poop*

I will join the Korean army tomorrow. Wish me luck.

"In the *TANK* while he was training"

I was in the US Army in Korea. 2011 to 2013. We had Korean soldiers who are augmented into our units for many reasons. They wear our uniforms but have Korean rank. They are called KATUSA or "KOREAN AUGMENTED TO the UNITED STATES ARMY" They got paid very little. Often I would go out to lunch and bring my KATUSA friends with me. I would pay because I had only a cell phone bill and Internet for my barracks room so I had no problem doing so. I was told by one KATUSA that I was paid more as an E4 than their Sargent Major. Anyways, I would just ask about Korean history or culture. They would ask about my family and Texas (I am from Texas). I learned to read and write Korean and they helped me on many things. Especially understanding how to use the silent character in Korean. I miss them. Korea is a nice place. Nice people. I ended up dating a Korean girl and we got married. Been married almost 5 years now. The KATUSA soldiers helped me pick a gift for my wifes parents and helped me understand specific cultural problems I would encounter. I thank them so much for this. And yeah. Its common for Korean men to gush over girl groups. I dont blame them. Its just odd to see men in uniform do this by western standards but it was interesting seeing our differences. Also, the vast majority of Koreans I knew were kind but they also were quick to anger, or at least quick to say things along the lines of "I will knock your corn "teeth" out" or "do you want to die?" Hahaha. I miss that place.

“ I love twice!” Haha

I am korean american and was born in California. I've lived in the U.S. my entire life, and ive grown up speaking korean and being friends with korean people. Yet, when people see that i am asian, they expect me to have that chinese acccent lol. when i use voice chat on game every one thinks im white which is kinda ironic lol. My parents are immagrants from Korea, and my dad also served inthe korean military. He never really told me about his experience so this is really great seeing somebody's point of view like this

한국어 자막 달아주신 분 감사합니다(Thanks to korean subtitles)

To those concerned about him being unemployed, apparently, after this video was posted, he is possibly (?) being offered a job at a game studio because of his English-Korean speaking abilities, I think they are same people who created MapleStory, which is really cool!!!!

“I can talk to you all night” A second later “I have to sleep”

Korean military do only pay $300 per month(private 2nd class), I think it so poor than other country do. Actually, in past, they only got $90 at 2nd private :( I will do military service next year, maybe in airforce. (just a wishing lol)

I lost a good friend a couple weeks ago. The last time i spoke to him was 2 months before. He was sick. When he (the bird) told the story about going to the funeral of the guy in the ambulance to say goodbye i knew how he felt. Becuse at least i could say goodbye. I think if i didnt went i would also have regretted.

I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND LITTLE KOREAN SOLDIER BIRD. ;-;

This is quality humanity and it makes me smile. Thanks Syrmor.

Them VRchat conversations getting deeper every time

This is the content I needed in my life. So pure and wholesome.

R.I.P for hes brother that's hurt me

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Damn, I was not expecting that. Great video, I hope he makes friends with everybody from around the globe. I'd be his friend!

His voice matches his avatar so much. Somebody give this guy money so he can get a job :(

Hey Syrmor I m glad you are here. you want to know why? Cuz you're a good person. You touch my heart by showing me a kid name Jordan and now you show me another one and video games makes such huge impact now adays. You make me believe that there is so much loving and nice people in video games Thank you. 1 sub from me.

Him fangirling over twice is the most wholesome thing ever.

now it got sad when he talk about his brother and for some reason his words are like that one random guy in the bar and you talk for hours and hours but never get bored

It's come to the point whether it's a meme filled video or a good hearted video it punches me in the gut

His voice makes me want to hug him, huh.

When I heard Rick Roll I liked it He Hears troll song "I like the beat" So sweet hearted

i just want to go to the screen and hug him hes so pure and kind

I will say that a lot of the Korean players I have met in VRChat speak excellent English! I do always feel bad that I can't speak to everyone in different countries in their native tongue. It was very interesting to hear what it was like to serve in the Korean military. From what I know, because of North Korea, all those in South Korea have to do military service when they become adults.

South Korea requires all of its male citizens to serve their country (guess why that happened). If one purposely evade the military duty, that means jail time. The duration for serving the country can be different from people to people depending on various situations but most of us end up serving in a military for more than one year and a half. The wage also varies by their situation but average person gets about $330 (352,331 Korean won) a month. And that is also the wage that has been increased by 88% in 2018. Basically we sacrifice one year and a half of our youth for the nation.

For real though, no joke. They don't get paid jackshit. Last year they finally raised the monthly pay to 100$ for the sergeants.

15 seconds in and it’s a soldier bird bopping to poopitty scoop

Give this guy a huge hug and give him a big trophy

The more he learns English eventually he can officially become bilingual and have a ton more job opportunities I bet

What a lovely person.

4:54 “In the *tank* “ if u wanted to know 😅

Oml. My little Korean birdy. My fam. I'm a Korean birdie. AW 'Bye Felica. And just leave?' So innocent.

this is extremely cute and cute and i want more of you two pls ❤️

THAT MAN IS PRECIOUS!!!!! I can only wish him the best. And an amazing job too. Holy crap

Aw his brother died I’m sorry for ur loss ❤️

I NEED JORDAN AND HIM IN THE SAME ROOM

Most korean men have to go the army. Even if they dont want to. Besides, soldiers are not treated well. What make me crazy is that soldiers are criticizing and harming each other. In the army, people are getting insane and brainwashed, thinking they are normal.

This guy is actually a really cool dude, would like to see more of him

this guy persuaded me to not commit suicide

OMG I LOVE HIM HE'S ADORABLE

He’s adorable I love him

He has such a great soul I'm crying he sounds so wholesome and kind (;-;)

I keep coming back to this video, I love him please bring him in future videos.

Also I want to say that I think you always put in perfectly themed audio that's mixed well so you can enjoy the music and the voices together, really good production

Damn what a shock .. never seen such pure person here in youtube love that berd :D

The thing that you had subtitled with a "?" during the story in the end was "In the tank."

I want to know why you want to buy a Bulgarian wife

THIS IS SO PURE, I WANT TO BE HIS FRIEND AS I, TOO, THINK TWICE ARE GODDESSES

I'm korean, 19years, and I go to army next year, or 2022. As you know, Korea is a conscription country. Everyone with healthy body and mind goes to the army and carries out their military duties. so.. you know? Even now, dozens of deaths and victims are reported every year in the South Korean military because of training, some kind of accident or suicide. Perhaps the underlying cause is coercion due to conscription. Maybe that's why Korea's bad treatment of soldiers is also a reason. actually, Korean men my age are already pretty tired.They've already been beaten up in a competitive society, and they don't know what patriotism is, and the army is just forced to go by the country. and me too. There have already been so many incidents with North Korea that many people want to live in other countries. just ... Watching this guy in the video, I thought he was great, and I'm a little worried about my future. ... umm, My dream is to be a translator. Japanese translator. I've been into Japanese modern literature since middle school. I like Japanese very much. Now I've even gotten several Japanese licenses. like JLPT, or JPT. And if there's another wish, I want to take a pen, not a gun, for life after I've been discharged from the army. I know I look like a coward, but it's true that I'm scared about to take a gun. .... well, just what I think. thx for read.

A month ago, a 20-year-old trainee died at the training center of the 12th Division of the Korean Army. The cause of the incident was that a deceased trainee was caught by a female squadron leader while talking to his classmates, who told them not to talk and let them run indefinitely in 34 degrees Celsius. Other trainees reported abnormal conditions of the deceased trainee, but the female squadron leader told her not to talk nonsense and told her to keep running, and the trainee eventually died. After the death, the female squadron leader went on a two-week vacation, and the military and police deleted related data. Since then, the military has been controversial by announcing that the deceased trainee's fault lies with the trainee himself

WHATS UP G G IS FOR GANGSTER

a twice fanboy who happens to be a bird which also served for the military :') everything abt the video is just so wholesome.

Wow . Hit me right in the feels

Wow, a touching and amazing video thank you. VR Chat has this great way of connecting people and amazing to hear other stories!

it is extremly painful to end up duty in kor army (there is lots of reason) but the one of the sad thing is kor feminists are keep saing that 'its not a big deal' and they are thinking it just a picnic. also there was a advantage till the 90s (ex.2~5% car price discount) but kor feminists had eliminated that law now. so baisicly all korean young man thing that it futile and wasting time for 2 years.

This short film is perhaps one of Syrmor's riskiest. One of the more pertinent themes that I have derived from the subtext provided is a twist on anti-imperialism, or anti-military (industrial complex?). There are two "acts" to this short film: one that serves as an introductory tool, and one that drives the theme home. While the first "act" does not seem particularly relevant to the main theme on the surface, it is actually profoundly important to understanding it. One visual tool to use would be a river and its tributaries. One small river could fail to create a significant impact individually. However, once this river combines with others, it will form a devastating force. I believe that the first "act" serves a similar purpose to the focal theme of this short film. The first act, as previously mentioned, serves to introduce the characters, as is standard with most literature and film. However, I believe it also serves as a device to personify an individual that (in this short film) is representative of military organizations. The most overbearing stereotype of military individuals is hypermasculinity -- incredibly tall, muscular men with coarse language/voices and a deeply rooted sense of loyalty and patriotism (sometimes to the point of xenophobia). The subject of this short film, however seems to defy these stereotypes. His voice is not aggressive, he seems to be incredibly polite, and he even seems almost averse to learning even foreign swear words. The audience learns about the main character's interactions with foreign people and the pleasure he finds in learning similarities and differences in their expressions of their respective cultures. In general, he seems to defy some of the more potentially problematic stereotypes exhibited by your archetypal military individual. The first act is punctuated (and this ends) with the cameraperson asking the main character about their time spent in the military. This act provides the bulk of the message to this short film. The main character describes his nation's army as under-supplied and containing a sort of bleak optimism of having to "make do" with what they have. After initially learn about some of the bleak conditions of that respective military, Syrmor provides us with more introductory material to strengthen the humanity portrayed by the character (referring to the aforementioned "river" visual, one could imagine this as minerals from the tributary river mixing in with the larger body of water). Syrmor proceeds to tease the main narrative back into focus with the main character referring to innate violence in humanity. Towards the end of this short film, we receive the long-teased apex; all of the tributaries have finally merged into one mighty river. Our main character describes his experience with a comrade who ultimately and unfortunately passed due to disease. We learn that the passed comrade did not like the idea of being conscripted, but was inevitability brought into the armed forces. The main character describes how he visited his comrade's funeral because of some underlying guilt. This main theme presented in act two is a twist on the typical anti-military or anti-imperialist argument. There are several arguments that can be formed in alignment with some of the more typical themes, but I think there is one important message to be derived: not only does the presence of a military cause potential harm to civilians, it also causes harm to involuntary participants with no intention of harm. This departs from the criticisms that depict the military as a sort of monolithic, hypermasculine force of men. Furthermore, I believe that Syrmor departs from his typical use of "Tool" as a form of reference; instead, he contradicts a Tool theme. The song that Syrmor contradicts is Tool"s "Right in Two". From Tool's "10,000 Days" album, "Right in Two" refers to man's innate nature to be violent and territorial. One repeated message follows: "Monkey killing monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground / Silly monkeys; Give them thumbs, they forge a blade /And where there's one they're bound to divide it". This message degrades humanity and flattens is multifaceted nature. Syrmor challenges this by providing us with a character with a large number of facets; one that many can relate to in some way. One might say that this short film is a rehash of themes that have been present since the dawn of war (and thus, the dawn of peace as opposition to war). However, I believe that Syrmor provides a new light to the movements against organized military and war. In the future, I hope that Syrmor continues to push the envelope. In doing so, he provides a means for which to expand the mind and its capacity.

he is so cute, he reminds me of my korean friends, they are so cute like that always saying interesting stuff and interested on learning languages and stuff, is so cute lol

if he lookin for an american wife tell him to hmu

One of the first videos I watched on your channel. Always interesting to hear people talk about their lives.

I love how you guys try your hardest to be genuinely nice to these people

Bless his lil asian heart

I want to squish this cute little Korean bird out of lovE

4:50 I think he said "Tank"

"In Australia they say "what's up G" but I don't know any American slang" 😂. That's adorable.

dude thank you so much for sharing this i never knew that a vid of a korean bird talking about his military experience would get me sobbing on the floor of my room but it did

It’s so neat to hear different stories from people all around the world! They’re different, sometimes funny and interesting, and others are a bit sad. But I think it’s just a cool idea to share people’s semi-meaningless stories with the world. It gives a glimpse into them and what their life is like! Keep doing these man, love you 💖💖💖💖

Dude, you deserve more subscribers. These kinds of vids are very touching.

He is so cute bless him

omg this man is the sweetest! keep up contact with him and be his friend please, he seems like such a great guy!

Symor, you should deserve lots of subs. Your video about others and their life, positive or negative gives us a piece of them and I love it. Even if they’re from close or far, I find them well and hearing them are great. (Sorry, I english but not so well))

Can we help support him? Maybe set up a patreon for him to help him have some money so he can not worry about getting a job for a little while? I dont think that'd be to much to ask, I'd happily donate to him too but Im not sure how we could reach him

He speak english better than most people

Damn dude, underfunded military with shitty pay and presumably no benefits since the guy is unemployed. No respect for his service.
