'Korean entertainment industry is toxic': Foreign actors in Korea 

Yes sir, it surely does. Thank you!

Totally true but then again some of them are just annoying Korea boo that’s trying so hard to embed them self in the Korean culture when they know they will never truly be Koreans. Get over it and grow up Korea is not as it cracked out to be as you think it is, they got their issue to as you can.

No, that seems to be a minority. Being an artist is incredibly hard. Artists deserve rights in both Korea, US, and wherever.

@@chrisc1184 I suspect he's talking about typical reactions from Korean netizens to articles discussing foreigners in Korea. I agree with you regarding "being an artist". Every time there is an article discussing the treatment of expats in Korea, these types of comments are very common. I'd love to think that Korean as a whole believe what you wrote, but the comments I see here are typical of what I always see, albeit, it's much improved from a couple of years ago. Much improved.

@@kellyfrances4943 netizens are usually negative ppl w nothing to do. When u talk to irl ppl that are functioning members of society, the response is diff. Negative minded ppl often will engage in bs while positive ppl are going about their life. You can understand why comments sections are filled w negativity. The same goes for netizens of other countries that seem to have a sick joy out of pointing out problems in korea with zero awareness that some things are objectively worse or equally bad in their home countries. It's usually reflected in their tone and most of the time they don't even live in korea. On the flip side, most foreigners in korea are going about their life and living positively, and not spewing hatred.

I am sure they would not want BTS and other artists that comes to the US to be treated fraudulent

Hypocrites

BINGO!!! You hit it right on the nail

That’s it!

Facts 💯

Will it? This video particularly? Can you confirm if there has been articles made in Korean language. Because this video is in English which means it is inaccessable to Koreans,( it doesn't even have Korea subtitle) This video seems to be looking to get international support more than to inform Koreans themselves.

@@maheshpun4804 MANY in Korean language - that was the problem, the coverage was all in Korean, so this sole English coverage was valuable and appreciated. Thank you for asking.

The phrase to be written in bold letters and underlined here is “taxpaying foreigner.” The Korean government take money from them, they recognize their rights and protect it.

Or deport them like they did to Sam O.

Why would anyone go to that shithole country in the first place?

I want to educate you! This is the standard that is the norm everywhere, including in Hollywood. Nobody signs contracts for extras and gigs in Hollywood or in any other western entertainment countries. I have worked for seven years as gigs in Hollywood, I never signed any contract and yes I am a foreigner in America. So stop nitpicking Korea. Why should Korean entertainment industry follow any international obligations when nobody else follows it! Including America. You are a naive kid and lot to learn about adult business. Besides if all the extras and gigs are given individual (non exploitative) contracts than Hollywood would have long been bankrupt. So Korea is no different.

@@elangbam3115 Let ME educate you. Several of the actors in Netflix's Squid Game weren't allowed to sign contracts, either. I work in both countries (as a foreigner in both), and I've never not signed a contract in the US when I requested one. Perhaps you're being naive. Sure, we do non union gigs here and there without bothering, but even the student films I've acted in had contracts.

@@kellyfrances4943 really ho ho maybe that has to do with you being actual American. I am not American, and foereigner extras, stuntman etc don't have the luxury of signing contract. Atleast it is not given to us. The agency will simply say okay you don't want it we will hire someone else

don't like Korea? Get out of Korea!! 🇰🇷

LOL that is definitely NOT what they are trying to do! can't believe people actually think that...

​@@elangbam3115 its not americans who altered korea. korea for sucking money from america n west started focusing on pop culture.

@@anamika3678 I agree with u.

@@elangbam3115 ​ Respectfully, Nothing wrong with you stating your opinon, but I am unsure how that addresses that lack of adherence to the law. That is what my comment addressed.

I live in Greece and we get many tourists here...well Koreans are the first to leave negative reviews on google for places with bad customer service always calling the employees racist. I personally find it hilarious because a)Those places are known to have bad service for everyone and b) you are the ones to talk of racism 🤣...you don't like like it when others do that (allegedly) to you,do you?

Korea is worse? Are you high? Can you tell me where in South Korea young Korean men are trolling the streets, attacking elderly foreign people and killing them? Cause thats what was happening in the US during Covid, and most of the attacks comitted by black men, occasionally black women. I didnt see the black American community rise up and speak out against this but you wonder why foreign black people are then mistreated in Asia? Hello, Koreans have internet. They watch the news. They see elderly Asians being attacked for no reason. You think thats going to foster sympathy? (eye roll)

No it's not. GTFOH. It's absolutely not the same thing. Asian Americans are getting assaulted, murdered, violently robbed, and in some instances r*ped. This is not the same thing as being discriminated by a business or industry. I have no problems stating that Korea needs to improve but trying to compare being assaulted and murdered to discrimination is straight up BS. All this does is prove you have zero critical thinking skills and that goes for LWC too. I'm more than glad to share all the wonderful stories of these violent attacks if you'd like. This may, however, trigger your brain-aneurysm.

Am with you on that

I come from a developing ‘3rd world’ country and trust me, it’s way better here for foreign workers, unless you are an illegal migrant which of course will get you deported. Ironically we also have ‘Korean only’ restaurants here as well, which caused a lot of protests because it reminds us of the ‘Indians and dogs not allowed’ signs the Brits put up outside their restaurants during the British rule.

Yes, cause the West doesnt abuse workers. 🙄🙄🙄 Its a global problem. How many foreign workers literally DIED due to bad work conditions, building the new stadiums in Qatar for the next World Cup to the silence of the world?

Jews have been doing that to every race for decades and not a peep..easy deflect technique by calling it antisemitism

@Fire Haze it only mean not only white people are racist

sounds like white ppl

SAY IT LOUDER 🤯🤯🤯

i am currently in kenya , and you get contracts here for EVERYTHING . imagine Korea being so advanced and practicing basic racism from the 1950s and then pretend its foreigners that are being difficult. i am thinking the reason no black people appears in this video is because they don't get hired for TV extra roles in the first place since Korea places premium on white skin. its a terrible predicament to be in. i'll probably scratch Korea off my list frankly.

JUST GO HOME ! they come all the way to our land and far east to be artists ! even 2nd 3rd generation of south asians and the middle easterners !

No. They are protesting in Eglish because they can't speak Korean, the native language of the country they work and reside in. Imagine if Koreans in [insert any English-speaking country] protested in Korean, that country's media would have a field day and blame these foreigners (Koreans) for not speaking English. So, please stop making excuses for these culturally inept people.

@@iu2 But the guy with the long hair said he speaks korea, learned their culture, married a native and even have children. Did you watch a different vid or something?

@@iu2 international rubbish keep pouring into far east while able people are NOT BREEDING ! there is NOT going to be an ASIAN CENTURY AT ALL !

"Its here that i will get old and die" Its exactly how you said. Honestly, South Korea is a pretty developed country (i know that it may fall under developed but still) and for them to still have this moronic situations that doesnt get fixxed just bcs of incompetent and useless politicians is unbelievable

People are making that argument in a rude manner (not asking about it as a genuine question) do so because they lack a valid argument otherwise and resent the people they see. It's the sort of irrelevant, cognitively lazy thing that bullies point out when they don't want to admit "I am a racist" or "I resent the presence of foreigners in Korea and don't care to understand them" or (even worse), "I just like to be nasty and this is all I could bother to observe".

While your opinion is completely valid and true, Koreans have never been able to protest in their own language anywhere else in the world. Even in countries like the US where it's supposedly the melting pot of cultures, Koreans face an overwhelming pressure to speak English for any of their concerns or protests.

@@koguy2 I agree! Both my statement and what you're saying can be true at the same time. If Koreans in America want to speak Korean and use a translator to get their point across they should have the right to and no one should think that is a reason to not listen to their message.

@@koguy2 It would be wonderful if places like America were truly inclusive that way. I imagine it would be tough to be effective if one protested in Korean in a place like America. We needed English language media in at least one instance in this case - though there were likely upwards of 15 Korean language news articles written about this event, which was largely conducted in Korean. One of my main concerns was that no one is educating those abroad who are potential targets for unethical recruiters. There is a growing visa milling problem right now, and it can be found on social media. Regardless, I appreciate and respect your feelings. I truly enjoy seeing how Korean cultural curiosity and appreciation is growing rapidly these days and I've never seen more interest in it! ^^ When I first moved to Korea in 2000, it was very different! Best wishes to you sir.

Korea plagiarized country

Asia is a broad term addressing to the entirety of asian continent that have many colours which would be a different outcome in this scenario, but for this I think the right term is east asia.

But it’s only East Asians or specifically just Koreans

FACTS

@pancakestac Asians just had Anti Asian Racism bills passed, BTS came to the White House, and Affirmative Action was put in place during the Civil Rights era for Black people that faced years on top of years of inequality and being barred from the same schools White people were which left them behind. Stop whining about it or don’t come to America if it makes you so mad.

@pancakestac A bunch of Asian Americans are targeting Affirmative Action to try and get into college instead of what’s really barring them from getting in to top colleges. Legacy Admissions which is primarily responsible for getting White children into Ivy Leagues and we all know why.

Like every other entertainment industry.

Not just in korea everywhere...western entertainment industry is by far the worst evil satanic stuff going on tgere.

@@chrisc1184 not really every bylaw that the Koreans are breaking that the foreigners are complaining about is covered under the screen actors Guild… We went through all of this shit in the 50s through the 90s so we fixed all of those loopholes… The Koreans did not.

YES!!!!! Its endemic to the amount of prosperity disparity between generations, as well.

They never change since Joseon 🤦🏻

I knew something was odd when one squid game cast member actually literally had to go back to his regular job of driving a taxi or something even after the show blew up.

Yes the people there really need to wake up and have a cultural revolution, where they no longer accept the parasitic corporations that enslave them. It’s estimated that 85% of working age Koreans would like to leave that country. - Probably a number higher than North Korea!

@@KpopNiDontStop which character in squid 🦑 game?

I too heard Indians facing Racism in SK

@@davidbilla8063 yeah sadly it's true but not only in Korea, indophobia is rising is every country :-((

@@minmeantea3067 I'm indian American recently Indian's facing heavy Racism from western countries mainly Hindus getting targeted for their religious beliefs people calling them Nazis, Cancelling them in university

@@davidbilla8063 Nazis? Hindus are the opposite of that. Anyways stay strong ❤️ i hope everything gets better soon

Yeah that’s completely understandable but I also feel sad for the guy who is married to a Korean, has kids etc. That guy has basically legally integrated on paper, yet half of his kids culture will treat his own kid like shit

Interestingly, the same international agreement that protects BTS is intended to protect migrant artists.

Which is what people meant when they say clean your own backyard first before your complaint about other people's front yard

Not even a close comparison. In America, random ppl shoving and beating up elderly Asians just for being Asian. Koreans do not beat up elderly foreigners just for being foreign. Hate Crime vs. Unfair Migrant Law. Even in America, migrants get treated worse or less pay than say actors or business ppl.... they need to adapt to the language and skill that pays more. That is also true anywhere in the world. If you can barely speak German, you can't expect to get paid same as German workers unless you have a skill that is desirable

I know what you are trying to say but i have to reiterate to you like i had to others that said similar things. Violent hate crimes do not compare to discrimination. Both are bad but trying to draw some equivalency to both is dishonest. And the people that are trying to diminish the weight of what's happening to asians in the states bc of koreas issues is disgusting (not saying that's what you r doing).

@@chrisc1184 Just like BTS said, they went to the USA to lend a voice and their platform to both Asian hate AND Asian inclusion. I'm focusing on the inclusion part which is ironic because their country is very exclusionary. However as I pointed out, it's less about them and more about highlighting the irony.

It has plenty of beauty and wonderful, rich culture, but exploitation is a real problem - sadly.

That’s like every nation

Every country has its own problem... In korea, culture and art industry is one of the most abusive fields and also has lot of payment issue and sexual issue

Plagiarized country

I can´t believe people still didn´t get that entertainment, so singers, actors, and models are an industry that contains these kinds of things *everywhere* in the world.

I’m also curious how that’s actually legal, because I don’t think your visa would let you do that but I’m sure it does happen…

.baffling as to why they would agree to work without signing a contract. like it seems illogical for me. they got their visa. some agent must have casted them for a show, read a script and interviewed. so most rational thing is sign a contract before agreeing on the project..

Thank you. Your attitude and support is insightful, admirable and so appreciated.

World power in which area?

@@Rajesh_Singh301 I am not korean but considering South Korea has a population of 40-50 million they went from the poorest country after being a victim of many invasions and war to top 10 world's economic and first world country. They have the highest rate of graduation , fastest internet in the world, leading in technology. I am assuming you are from India.

@@gchild123 Though I'm an Indian I will agree with , it's sad but true that though India has the second largest population in the world they are yet it become a developed country , it frustrates me cause both India and Korea had suffered same kind of things but now look where Korea is and India , hope India will become overcome this😣

@@Rajesh_Singh301 KPOP Power lol

The point is that, in these situations, they foreigners aren't being given contracts, while the Koreans are. That's what they're complaining about.

@@sandragiant777I hope they get contracts. But after getting a contract people should be careful what they sign. Just getting a contract, to just get one shouldn't be the main purpose. Getting a good contract should be the main goal.

At least contracts protect you from some malice and you have reason read before signing.shame shame

But Idols also sign contracts and they belong to the entertainment industry...

@@ahgavlive4517 I am not saying that because you have a contract , means that you are exclude of malice , as a person you have the obligation to read before to sign however that contract is a proof that you can present in case of you have to deal with justice

Hypocritical

@@tatiana-bi5fq What is sweetie? What's hypocritical? Hmmm love?

Nobody is being forced to go to bars or clubs in korea...if you put yourself in the entertainment industry there is a chance it may happen as it comes with that kind of territory unfortunately.

There are seedy areas in all parts of the world.... why would you expect it to be different in Korea? There are mafias and gangs doing illicit activity in every city on Earth. Don't talk about hypocrisy.... stop being naive. And why would the kdrama storyline go into the seedy places if that's not the storyline?? Although there are plenty of gangster and movies where it is not that rosy...I mean did you not hear of Old Boy? Or Squid Game? Or Parasite? Memories of Murder? Stop judging Korea based on only the kdramas you decided to watch.

Thank God If you want to move some unknown nations, first see their fundamental rights in their constitution for foreigners Thank God India have it

Asia has to catch up in this regard. The same problems are found in other asian countries. It's not just korea.

@@chrisc1184 name those countries i dare you this is only happening in east asian countries

@@quenchtv5436 learn to fking read idiot. You don't deserve a response but I'll do u a favor

@@quenchtv5436 Also go look up where people were discriminated in clubs in Germany, UK, Italy on tiktok and travel forums. Go look up how people were blocked from services in Thailand on youtube. A simple search should suffice if you have the brain power to do it. Have the maturity to understand that discrimination, racism and hate exists in every country. Some countries might be better than others but to pretend that yours is suddenly exempt and Korea is the worst place in the world (it's not) is a joke. We can talk about Korea's problems but let's stop the pretending that whatever country your from doesn't have similar issues too in some form (even if they are better at covering them up). Thanks ;)

@@chrisc1184 Yeah but in the United States they are never covered up, everything will be made public even right down to Donald Trump Flushing government documents down the toilet… Even the president is not exempt from criticism in Korea the defamation laws currently on the books allow you to be arrested even if it is true. They also have no anti-discrimination laws on the books, they can not rent an apartment to you because you’re black or deny you a job because you are a single mom, which you cannot do in the United States. The single mom thing would be protected under title VII in the United States as well as age discrimination which is quite common in Korea which you cannot do in the United States. You cannot fire someone or refuse to hire them because of their age. You would have to come up with another reason. In Korea they can do whatever they want to you regardless because those laws don’t exist. As far as places that are worse yeah there’s a lot in comparison to the US for instance China comes to mind… Considering the amount of human rights violations that they have done thus far.

And why are you bringing BTS into this as usual from the haters? BTS is coming in because Asian americans are being assaulted and killed. Classic whataboutism when these are two different issues. Are foreigners being assaulted and killed like in the US and in parts of Europe? Nope. Didn't think so.

@@chrisc1184 yep, they are. Guess what Chris, bad people exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence. I have no problem with discussing racism, but it should be by actual Asian Americans who experience it. Bts getting involved makes no sense because they are not American, that's why I laughed. If they want to make a positive change about racism they should focus on their own country, which they know a lot more about and have experiences with. I think the same thing with americans going to koreas blue house and criticizing it. How does that make me a hater?

@@marge2980 Okay Marge 😂Let me gaslight you as well. Unfortunately, discriminatory business owners exist everywhere and no one can perfectly escape them. It's an unfortunate part of human existence. Most of the people here in the comments section are not even living in Korea and should focus on racial issues in their own country. /s Ahem... Anyways, BTS are influential and looked upon by many Asian Americans. There is zero harm in them talking about violent Asian American hate crimes. And it always helps to have influential figures no matter where they originate to talk about such serious issues. You act like influential figures talking about these issues have zero positive impact when it's actually the opposite. Due to many figures talking about these issues, I see more people taking a stand when people are talking about Asians in a negative way or threatening them whereas they may not have been so understanding. Before, many Asian Americans would often be gaslighted when talking about their issues about racial violence such as "what are you complaining about, you're privileged" and "you didn't even have it as bad as Black people." So yes, when they are lending their voice about hate crimes, it does make a difference. And you getting so affected about them talking about these issues does make you a hater. I mean why else would you bring a negative and snarky energy to this thread?

@@chrisc1184 yep you are right, there are racists, sexists, and bigots of all kind in any place where human beings exist. Sad but true. And yes, i think the americans in the comments section should focus on improving the US. But online comments do not equal going to the white house and making a speech there. There is a different weight and significance inherently with things in the white house, and a political edge. If BTS was making commentary online, or even at their american concerts/interviews, it would be a different matter. You seem to be miffed that i am not simping for BTS? I have no problem with them as artists, I've heard about how hard they worked and am glad they got success. I'm an American, we love a good underdog story. Doesn't change anything i said in my comment though about foreigners, especially celebrity foreigners, making social commentaries at the US white house or Korean Blue house. I don't think it's appropriate for non americans to go to the white house to comment on american social problems, and the same for the opposite situation in the Korean blue house. If one direction went to make social commentary at the Korean blue house, i would laugh at them equally. Honestly were the schedules of all the Asian American celebrities so packed that the only option was to ask foreigners?

so that Koreans do not ask for respect from everyone while abroad, lock them up in their country and enjoy their homogeneity

Fact 💯

Insightful response!

honestly what i've seen from koreans isn't really good too. The only side of korea where they seem good is their pop and movie industry, which is ironic, because all of it is fake. Mysogony and sexism seen in korean people and their society is horrendeous, the same goes for homophobia, racism, colorism and other societal issues. As many others, the goverment is corrupt, laws for abuse extremely lax, bullying in schools is a very serious issue, and the people are stuck in the past. Not to mention the overly "respectful" culture where you can't make a real friend who's older than you because there are very strict boundaries between people. Korea has a lot of catching up to do. I just hope young women and girls will inform themselves more and decide not to endanger their lives in order to find their perfect oppa who doesn't exist.

@@oneofthosemoments4564 I just remembered the story of how bullies killed a half Russian (I think) boy ,they were supposed to be his "friends"!!! Just because he is mixed race! It seems koreans think all this is normal and acceptable which is not!

If you think its so acceptable then i hope you move abroad face it and feel how shitty it actually is since you clearly don't understand. And if youre apparently a black woman then you should know how awful being discriminated against is so why do you think its ok for others to continue to do it? Everyone should be treated with respect especially in their workplace regardless of skin color or birth country or whatever. I can't believe you think its ok to discriminate but probably get mad when you're discriminated against

@@crystallove962 That is complete and utter bullshit… You have way more protection through laws in western developed countries than you would in Korea. There are so many different law firms, rights activist groups/ organizations that will take the side of minorities and will pay for a lawyer if you are discriminated against in a western country. As well as lawyers that will take your case for free if a company violates your work contract. That does not happen in Korea. In Korea you can be discriminated for your age sexuality gender, religion or appearance. You cannot do that in a western country. In the United States under title VII for equal opportunity employment, you cannot discriminate for any of the above reasons and if they do you are entitled to financial compensation and you can be sued which you cannot do in Korea. Koreans are equally exploited and extorted yet they don’t have a voice in Korea so are you saying they shouldn’t complain in their own country because I’m sure they would love our own protection laws so that we have in the United States which they do not. In Korea it’s not uncommon to be discriminated against because of your age, or if you are a single parent that is a completely valid reason for them not to hire you in Korea which is illegal in Western countries.

That's right, in some other nations it probably does, and I think we can agree that's bad. And in some other entirely different nations things like this do not happen or are at least protected by laws, and I think we could agree that's good. Which group of nations would you rather that Korea be associated with?

Remember that South Korean got democracy because of south East Asian blood and American blood,,don’t you dare to compare to other nations,,today South Korean enjoyed democracy because of our father blood,, don’t you dare to compare,

Which one ?😂😂 give me a name because I do not remember any country in western side give job without contract . It’s illegal and you can pay a lot of money to government if they catch you . Even a student job , you have a contract , we have organization specialized to the right of student and it’s free . If you have any complain you can go there and have access to attorney to help you so stop thinking that the behavior of South Korean is everywhere.

Yeah the contracts where they get robbed of up to 80% of the profits. Elieen from crayon pop talked about that as did all the girls from Pledis/ Pristin...
