Korea is so materialistic because it's a newly-developed country. They got rich SOOO FAST. They economy may have developed, but their mindset DID NOT. 50-70 years ago, Korea was so poor. That's why they act like a nouveau riche. So pretentious and materialistic!
@@Maximumwasabi Japanese weren't Neo-Nazis, silly. And my name isn't even German -_-. It's like saying the name Madara is evil because an anime used it for a villain's name. Open those eyes a little bit wider, maybe through plastic surgery and go read a book. No wonder Japan was so angry with you, you guys are so annoying and ignorant.
It societal not cultural. It's like saying the same thing with American culture. "Oh you like American culture, but dive deeper into what is real American culture." No justifying racism or anything, but it's societal.
How do you expect these K-pop Stans to dive deeper when K-pop itself is all surface level perfection? Shallow ppl who are into shallow things have already lost interest in anything deep.
Starting to feel like weebs who say they like Japanese culture actually make more sense than koreaboos who say they like Korean culture. We know they don’t refer to the culture and traditions, they’re actually talking about the exported entertainment and to some extent, the society that created these entertainments (thinking Japanese society is all fun and rainbows because their anime and videogames are fun, or thinking the average Koreans live and look like idols or actors). Japan tries to live up to the expectation by being nice to you on the outside, Koreans on the other hand don’t try to hide and normalise hitting you square in the face with that ASEAN racism. Just a few weeks ago, I saw Korean comments casually using the term “Vietnamese” as an insult while they’re arguing with each other. Don’t have to look far, my country has an island teeming with Korean tourists and they were all obnoxious. They dare to be this obnoxious because why should they behave around lowly humans like us SEAs?
Koreans came to India to build their KIA car factory. They started small restaurants nearby and put up a board saying "Only Koreans allowed". India helped South Korea in their Korean war, but their mentality is like this.
Right recently a k guy visited Tunisia people were so nice . They just sometimes said Chinese chin cho nothing else , He was like never come here and all that . And this chin cho thing is wrong I know but in Korea they don't allow you inside the club or restaurant just because you are foreigner is far worse .And I have seen in a video people just ignore you if you ask for help. I was like wtf .
What's your reasoning? Anyone, regardless of color or nationality, can be held responsible for racism. Like people denounce racist Koreans, and Koreans can condemn racist whites, blacks, or others. Borrowing your logic, isn't it ironic that blacks are loud about the importance of black lives matter, despite the fact that African Americans were responsible for some of the racially motivated attacks against Asians during the c*** pandemic? Because some African Americans are racist to Asians, are black people in general not permitted to denounce racism? According to you, bunch of toxic hypocrites. right?
@@fantompowerr the fact that young people can't get out of their houses without some sort of decoration (make up, nice clothes) is telling enough. Like, why do you have to be pretty/handsome when all you want to do is shopping at wet market?
BS, southeast Asian in general’ve w masculine browbone (even in woman), a large gap between eyelid which make the eyes appears more tired, a wide face which make the face appear fat, a tan skin, a short height, a thick lip, elephant-like nose (pig nose), etc…

People that feel superior and look down on other people have deep insecurities themselves and are probably miserable. Happy people aren’t judgey like that.
@@U-qho Korean clowns always make me laugh. Yi Sun-sin, the most worthless hero in history, of whom South Korea is proud, was ultimately killed by Shimazu soldiers and had little impact on the war, merely attacking Japanese convoys as guerrillas. In the invasion of Korea, the Japanese army attacked South Korea with 150,000 troops, but the total number of Japanese troops was 600,000. The number of 150,000 people corresponds to 25% of the total military force. Don't forget the fact that these 25% captured Seoul in 3 weeks and advanced to Pyongyang, North Korea, within 3 months. The power relationship between Japan and South Korea has always been one-sided and has never been an equal power relationship. It's not a relationship between Germany and France, it's a relationship between Germany and Poland.
Exactly and I just insulted by this one very bad person online. She had the nerve to say she was 10 times better than me and blah blah. Those who put others down have major problems and insecurities. It is their problem not anyone else’s.
To all ASEAN folks who think every Koreans look like those TV stars you’ll be disappointed if you visit the country. There’s nothing outstanding about their looks on the street if they don’t use make up.
They've been racist since Korea exist. they used to call (still is) Japanese, Ryukyuan(Okinawan), Manchurian (basically people other than Chinese and Koreans) are ''beast''.
Koreans have NEVER treated other foreigners like how Japan treated Koreans. Even till this day, Japanese calls Koreans living in Japan cockroaches to their face, does not give them citizenship and force them to commit suicides in school when they go to normal Japanese schools . Did Koreans kill thousands of foreigners by putting them in a church and setting it on fire after the earthquake? Don’t get me started, you are a joke. Koreans treat workers who come from 3rd world country just like every other country in the world - which is not right, but my question is why does everyone here expect more from Koreans?
Beauty standards make people ugly. I can't imagine how stressed, young girls and boys must feel mentally to keep up with the beauty standards in korea.
I'm viet guy born and living in Canada. Basically SEA, but I don't think I'm ugly as koreans label SEA. I've had girls asking me out directly. I once was bored during the pandemic. I went back on Roblox in Mic Up. My sleep schedule was horrible and so I had the chance to talk to ppl from EA/SEA. Once spoke to a korean guy and we talk about korean mentality. I can't lie tho, I think korean media did a big contribution in eleminating negative view towards asian that are subtle in US media, portraying asian male as undesireable, ugly, unreliable (with exception of kung fu master). As I'm not sure if those girls asked me out due to korean media or who I was? Maybe a bit of both since media plays a big role how society view others wether we like it or not. But I also told him my POV how I see many koreans online being arrogant and act as if they don't overuse plastic surgery(which is very contradictory to their superiority belief). He agrees with me. I also elaborate on the fact that it eliminates natural selection, which could make people less attractive over generations. We talk for a while then he mention he wants to get a nose job because he thinks his nose is too flat/big. I told him he should love himself instead. But I understood we'll never have same mindset because to him, plastic surgery was the same as changing clothes
@@KFC431 It's so bad apparently you have to include your photo with your job application. There is a pressure to be beautiful. Have small face, white skin, and big eyes. Imagine getting plastic surgery not because you personally care about your appearance, but just to live an easier life. Appearances hold that much power over for them. That's sad.
@@naoedouard4422 well they do care kinda. Everyone cares about our appearance. But there's pressure and most importantly, normalization of such procedures (plastic surgery). If everyone value long hair, everyone will let their hair grow. If everyone value long necks, people will get procedures to elongate their neck. They care about appearance just like we do, but they are on the extreme.
@@KFC431 Yes, of course most people care about their appearance, but you'd be surprised. Some people simply never cared that much. What I'm trying to get across is that Korean society is capable of making someone who was never hyper fixated on looks become obsessed with it. You'll see the ones who care most about looks are in developed areas. Go and ask someone from an isolated tribe what their biggest physical insecurity is, and see if they can come up with an answer.
Nah, I'm from Malaysia. In our state, there is a lot of Korean factory opened here. I used to work with them once. I don't know why, they're so racist towards indigenous people like us, Dayak😅. They even called us as "monkey" while they live in our country. They only being good only with Chinese people, but not Malay and Dayak. They even always make problems against us and that's make it looks racist. I stop working with them after a week. And I thought it was only my factory problem, but i heared my other friends complaining about it too.😅
Nah itu usir. Walaupun kita jiran sering ribut, tapi kalau kalian org malaysia dikata monyet sama recycled plastics itu kita juga marah. Kurang ajar mereka kita ras melayu dikatain monyet. Mending lapor ke pihak yg mengurusi hal hal ini atau viralkan biar kita netizen indonesia bantu
Afiq its the same over here in peninsular. Samsung battery factory HoD (korean) spews some serious vitriol about ANY malaysians openly in the restaurants. Some waitresses CAN understand korean so they actually told us what he was saying behind our backs. That lunch he belanja btw.
It’s the toxicity of living in a crowded hyper competitive Korea is what makes those native Koreans so unbearable. I’m Korean American and hearing the horror stories of South East Asians visiting South Korea appalls me and makes me feel shameful towards Korea considering how awesome the Filipino communities and other South East Asian communities are.
Yeah. Older Koreans here in America who immigrated are likewise just as racist. Just that the focus shifts from the usual Southeast Asians to Black and Hispanic people since they are considered scapegoats by Koreans in America. This also transfers onto the kids. I've seen some Korean-American kids raised in America say racist AF shit because they hear it from their parents and how normalized racism is in Korean spheres. Think all-Korean churches. Truly appalling.
I agree. I've been to Korea and sadly some of the Koreans we interacted were racists. I am aghast why Filipinos love Koreans so much. They even look down on Filipinos.
nah only foolish kpop fans love them. Most filipinos are indifferent to them, duh we have our own problems every single day ,we dont have time to deal w/ this bullcrap.
@@Chinoiserie9839there are actually good singers living in South Korea now that's a stretch, idc if u don't like the people because of racism but lying through your teeth ain't cute.
@@x_astrid_x lying through my teeth? I don't know if your deaf or have bad taste in music because literally you can't even determine who sings the part because they all sound the same. Try listening to them live. Oh wait they can't because they are experts at lip syncing. Rose of black pink is known for her singing abilities. How laughable. That's the best singer the group can offer. A shower singer. Also jisoo is atrocious at singing. I know many more them can't sing. Why do you think they only utilize one or two singers in a group? Why do you think most their choruses consist of banging noises? Because most of them can't sing. Full stop. They spent most their time being under a knife than hiring a vocal coach.
If that's the case spread the word and shut down K-pop from SEA once and for all. 99% of k-pop members can't even sing, except for Tae Yeon and Tiffany they get a pass 😁
I’m glad I’m not imagining things myself cause I’m here in South Korea for a trip and I experience the exact same thing. I thought Koreans would be more like Japanese, more kind, friendly, polite.
I live in Nagoya and a Filipino we had altercation with some Koreans on their mid twenties coz they're making fun of our Japanese friends way of eating, they even throw toothpicks at us and pretend that they didn't do it on purpose and want us to pick it up while they laughing their ass off, as someone that revoked his Muay Thai license before the pandemic I had the chance to practice my kicks again. That's how you use Koreans :)
Pretty ironic that they care so much about appearance but all look so fake with the plastic surgeries and end up looking alike too, as if they are all using the same filter. That's so messed up. If they were so superior, they wouldn't need to change their appearance.
I often didn't understand why people say " They all look alike" ... I came to know FAST , that it's those surgeries to get the exact same kind of eyes , nose and lips , similar makeup to look a certain way , and all the same filters . That's why in social media we can't tell them apart .
I was disappointed when my parents refused to go to Jeju with me, now I'm grateful they refused. Imagine wanting to have memorable vacation with loved ones and meet racism instead. 😢
I went to South Korea, specifically in the Jeju Island, for a cultural exchange program when I was in high school. Many Koreans were rude and a few would even shoulder bump me on purpose and had the audacity to glare at me afterwards. And while shopping at stores, even the employees spoke rudely to me when I inquired about sizes and stuff... While in school, the Koreans were only nice to the Russian exchange students, they’d swarm around them and followed them everywhere, like they were celebrities or something lol. They were fascinated and interested in the Russians but couldn’t care less about the other exchange students, including myself and I think it’s because we weren’t white. I guess Koreans are more welcoming and respectful towards Europeans/white people, idk, but the way they treated the Russians compared to us was so different. We were ignored for the most part, lol. Like we didn’t exist to them.

I’m Black and my ex boyfriend was Korean and he told me he was considered “dark skin”. He was about your skin tone. Needless to say, I was VERY confused. He never told me about Koreans in this way, but he did say his Mom was against interracial dating, so I thought it was just a her problem. I feel enlightened but sad.
Like I am Eastern European and dude looks white to me, I've seen my people naturally darker than him. My grandma would drag him to the sun preaching that kids this days sit at home too much and aren't healthy 😂
Its sadly true. In east asia and southeast asia the standard is to have light pale skin.. even I'm considered dark cause I tanned a lot from school. Theres many products too that tries to make your skin lighter. Nowadays I dont think about my appearance so I'm pretty tan.
In indonesia..too .they earn money in our country but they said our people ugly and express their hatred feeling and they write those bad words in their own web: indo sarang
What bunch of racist idiots. Even abroad, they spread their awful mindset. I just returned from Lombok, Nusa Penida, and Bali. Indonesians are incredibly kind and joyful-truly the nicest people I’ve met in my travels through 25 countries.
My friend is Korean living in America now. She's told me once, she HATED her culture due to everything you said. It's weird I'm Lao/Thai and I've been told I'm Japanese Chinese or Korean. Sometimes Vietnamese but rarely. 😐 People who had the Eastern Asian fetish were only with me. That's because in certain pictures I can pass as that... Everyone is affected by this believe it or not.
I'm a young middle eastern woman. When I was chased afrer by a man in Korea, passerbies just stared and did nothing. When I was chased after by a man in China, passerbies chased after him, shouted at him, grabbed his arms so he couldn't move, scolded him and then escorted me to safety.
Ew yeah nasty Especially what happened recently in Indonesia, like they call us names and animal etc, while they are working here, searching for food and money here What an isolated people
@@ip0ezguk876careful there, because North Korean who weren't allowed to use make up by the country is quite beautiful. Both north and south Korea made by the same race.
I'm half Thai. I don't find Korean man or East Asian men attractive. So, there opinion don't matter to me. I like White, Arab/Middle eastern, Latino/South American and biracial men are attractive too.
As a Filipina who's so into K-dramas and K-pop..I used to dream and think about traveling to Korea but after I saw a lot of videos about how koreans look down on SEA, I immediately change my mind..hehe..I don't wanna experience being bullied just because of my skin color and such petty things..now my goal is to go to Japan soon..
hi lady52, I'm Japanese indonesian will support your dream to go to Japan as we know they never makes some madness like Korean did... go for your dream and catch it... Godspeed..
Japan also has a lot of racist and judgemental people against foreigners but they don't usually show it in a very obvious way unless u did something annoying in their sight like example, being loud. Funny, though many of them are also loud. 😅
they are like those poor people who suddenly got a lot of money and start acting like they are superior. Damn, they are so rude towards SEAn. My ex-boss was Korean, even he spilled a lot of toxic and racist things about his fellow countrymen lol. Sure, sometimes he's ignorant and borderline racist but at least he acknowledged it and tried his best to be nice. My old office building had a lot of Korean and Japanese expats (recipe for disaster for another topic lol) and the polite and respectful ones are mostly Japanese
As a Filipino, were also insulted not only with our appearances but also with our English accent. Literally Koreans come to our country to learn English. Where's the logic to that? 😅
I'm Filipino and I can confirm this. Years ago I was playing Overwatch on its Asia server and a bunch of Korean teammates ganged up on me for voice chatting in English, and told me my accent sounded Mexican. They proceeded to tell me I don't belong on "their" server. I kid you not 😂.
They forgot or didn’t learn the history. South Korean used to fight for USA in Vietnam war for money. They used to be dirt poor. Without the help from USA, they would still be struggling.
Wow. Korea told you like this? 🤔🤔🤔 Korea fought other Asia countries understand their influence? Ah ! Like Philippines speak sense humor toward other people those want play card game. Filipino people know own game and experience one step ahead Korea much pretty true.
I'm from SEA too. When I speak Chinese in public in Korea, I could feel their angry stares, until I made a switch to start speaking in fluent English and that somehow made them feel inferior and more angry for some reason. I mean what the hell?
But I think Koreans may not look down on Hong Kongers or Singaporeans and may even admired them. Perhaps because those cities have a higher GDP per capita. 😂
Nah they will look down on everyone else if you work under them, but nobody will be stupid enough from this two nations to go all the way there to earn lesser and much stressful environment. Hong Kong and Singapore are both business hub country and there's a saying "it's fine to work with korean but never work under a korean"
well as a korean i think it is somewhat true ..but discrimination or stereotype by poor/rich nation exists a bit in many countries too (japan and european countries.. and so on) as you have some stereotype about korea
I really like that you did this video. Mentioning the obsession over Koreans characteristics etc, it at least allows for the people who overly Stan Koreans, to reflect on what you’ve mentioned and consider what they wish to contribute to or not and encourage. This is great.
@@Cali509 Racism is everywhere, but racism in Korea is on a different level , physically Southeast Asian girls do not need plastic surgery, because Southeast Asian girls already have what Korean girls want physically, the eyes of Southeast Asians are more The big eyes of Koreans, noses and brownish skin make Southeast Asian girls more lively, and Southeast Asian girls are more friendly and humble than Koreans In general....
True! Before, I adore them but as I started to learn more about their culture, society, and stuff, I started to lose interest and just like the kdramas and stuff... I still think my country is far better specially with upbringing and how to appreciate who we are and be respectful to other culture
ASEAN people need to stand for ourselves. We cannot be controled or looked down by those plastic face. We are way more rich have more cultures and traditions than them. We should embrace our own identity and not glorified recylced plastic face cultures or traditions. My grandpa always said to me, if you're javanese be a javanese don't be something else. And he's right, i mean right now some of us even ashamed by speaking our own native language our mother tongue language. Javanese people, malay people, hokkien people, etc they're now speak more english and korean rather than speaking javanese, malay or hokkien. We should reverse back to when we are proud of our own culture, traditions and custom and not become slaves of other country culture traditions etc. There are wayyyyy more artist from southeast asia that are better than those walking plastics. So stand for ourselves and be proud of our southeast asian heritage.
You're right own path. Javanese do have strong heart and mind as humans being much understand then others. Because you take great advice from own uncles is good thing learn new out their World.
Indonesian people are rasist too. dont close your eyes about that. orang indonesia juga banyak yg rasis. bukan membela korea tp kalau mau dihormati orang, lebih baik hormati bangsa sendiri dlu.
I’m Chinese here, but if Korean people look down on SEA people. They should come to USA and Canada to find out their Korean country man living conditions 😊
@@psforever8888see, you're a living proof that even you Koreans live in foreign countries you're not being respectful and hence looking down on the locals
Good thing you made this video because now I know my brother is telling the truth about Koreans including their society, culture and others. I understand your sentiments and feel exactly the same as you do with that. Keep it up. ❤
It's sad cuz my best friend who is Korean really kept telling me about this one and I'm half Japanese and Filipino. He's one of those 15% woke people from Korea and the rest are kinda NPC and they are super contradictory, I met these group of Korean guys that started talking bad about Japanese but most KPop idols use japanese to grow their fanbases and also loves anime like 😂😂😂 One of me ex girlfriend is also Korean but she's not one of those NPCs but her family treated me like 😩
I travel through SEA very often, and you are right. They even have attitudes towards locals when they travel so I can only imagine how bad they treat them in Korea.
@@hanawolfgang its mean he meet korean at SEA region when hes travel and koreans atittude is so bad. if thats average korean atitude as foreigner in SEA country, imagine how bad average korean atitute toward SEA people while theyre at their own turf?

They talk sh1t about indonesian in their own forum indosarang(wich literally mean love indonesia) that indonesian dumb af, their woman not pretty, even as far as insulting their religion. What ungrateful people
I’m Filipina but my sister calls me ‘ambiguously Asian’ because my features blend in whichever Asian country we go. When in Thailand and Malaysia, I get mistaken for Thai and Malay, also been called Hawaiian, Korean and even Mexican before. But when in Tokyo, Singapore, Taiwan thankfully never felt any discrimination. I was in Seoul for two weeks just this past April, and thankfully I did not have any negative experiences there either. I loved my time there because I love Korean food and all different types of food, and there was just so much variety to try and the public transport was so convenient and easy to use and I felt safe going around everywhere even late at night. I’m sad to read the comments of the people on here… But also before I travel anywhere I do a lot of research and learn basic phrases in the native language, and learn all I can about how to use public transport, restaurant etiquette, etc. I think this also helps when interacting with locals so you dont end up inconveniencing working people/drivers/servers who just want to go on about their day and dont want to deal with loud tourists holding up the queue. Just sharing this for people who say they dont want to travel there anymore. I think for the most part if you are acting with consideration and respect and awareness for your surroundings, you shouldnt have a problem. The younger generation of Koreans especially are quite friendly, helpful, more open minded and speak English well.
This is insightful. I'm glad you said what needed to be said and it gives me pause as a Kpop/KDrama fan. The comments here are just as important and as someone who documents fan culture, I think it really needs to be addressed now!! Thank you for starting this conversation, keep it up!👏👏👏
I've been having this conversation since I had my daughter in 1989. I learned that bi-racial children were not accepted. (Her dad is American, adopted from Korea.) This stems from the Korean War in the 1950s. A lot has changed, but also new problems are present. I'm always learning.
Lol maybe you are only seeing this cus you are obsessed with their culture, what they think what they say. You think the opposite is anywhere in terms of numbers? Maybe the problem is you already have an inferiority complex? Notice why so many aseans are obsessed with east asia but not the other way around? If east asians were more interested in southeast asia, there would be more experiences, positive and negative, and we would have more videos of east asians complaining about racism the same way you have videos like this one.
@@KFC431 wdym? are you sure Korean are all good looking and natural? Americans are pretty much more good looking than them. No surgery, just plain natural. It's just that they think that they are far more higher status than the rest of the Asians.
I haven’t even watched Kdramas for a year and I’ve kinda’ lost interest in them. Even more so now that I don’t hear nice things about Koreans. It’s ironic because their kdramas always encourage kindness and forgiveness towards others.
There are 2 recent popular ones on Netflix, called 'The 8 Show' and 'Hierachy'. It's all about wealth and status. I always feel like they have an element of that in every show (even ones that are not necessarily societal critique), and I find it very toxic.
@@purplepotato8849 I don’t intend to watch Hierarchy because I’ve heard that it’s not the usual kdrama you can watch as a family. That’s why so many people like to watch Korean movies and shows because you don’t have to worry about inappropriate scenes that will come at you at any moment. Hopefully they are not going to step away from what made them famous. I still will watch kdramas but I have become more particular and discerning in what I watch.
Kdramas always encouraged bullying and abuse, especially towards women. Very rarely you'll come across a Kdrama which would encourage kindness and forgiveness.
Bro same, I am indian there was a super viral video few months ago where a korean company (kia) in its indian branch had few korean restaurants near the workspace where the indians themselves were not allowed to enter even the staff were all korean or korean looking people, there were also few banners saying indians and pakistanis are not allowed in a club in sk.
Korean media often calls for "stop asian hate", "asian live matters" but it's ironic to see this turn around with their citizens, especially racist people in the country where they make their money.😂

Omg reading your comment made me realize that I experienced the same thing without even realizing it!! I’ve been to ICN a few times on layover and now I think about it, I always felt uncomfortable when I ate at the restaurants there. I couldn’t quite put my finger on why until I read your comment 🥲
Love your truth.. you’ve hit many of the bullet points on why hate exists especially when it comes down to status and hierarchy ❤many has to realize that Asian hate is not only by other foreign countries but within Asian countries and communities itself. No race is better then the other all are equal. Growing up I was always mistaken for Vietnamese because of my features and light skin as I got older, I was still mistaken to be either Vietmanese or Pilipino, when I’m full Lao. I have yet, to meet someone who will truly ask me, are you Lao? Beings identified wrongly I don’t really take offense but if they start demonize and disrespect, etc.. I’m the type that won’t take it sitting down or take it with a grain of salt, I’ll call them out on it, and show my disgust of their attitude and behavior..
I remember I had a Korean girlfriend who used to think that she was better than everybody else and everything and everybody else was trash. Sure, she was an engineer and got straight A's in college. But, that's as far as it went. She kept thinking that she was better than everybody else until she met somebody like me who could figure out her engineering. I have a computer science and programming background. So firstly, she couldn't baffle me with some of those concepts like she could baffle other people who tends to be scared of those types of subjects. In addition, she lacked creativity, life skills, common sense and the ability to do regular things. Heck, she couldn't drive a car, she had trouble holding a conversation; especially with certain people. She couldn't go through the city without getting lost because she had no sense of direction. She definitely couldn't traveling alone. She also couldn't get along with most people (like me) and unlike me, she couldn't play draw, she couldn't play an instrumshe. Plus, she couldn't run, she couldn't cook, she needed help reading bills/charts so that she wouldn't over pay for stuff like she always did and she couldn't do a lot of stuff that most people could do. She even ran out of money at one point because she overspent and paid too much money for stuff that she didn't necessarily need. For example, she ONLY bought name brand stuff. She thought that off brand stuff was inferior; even though the nearby off brand stuff was the SAME thing and MUCH cheaper. So, she ended up having to borrow money from me at one point. Well, it ALL taught her that she wasn't as great as she thought she was and she finally stop thinking that she was better than everybody and became MUCH MUCH MUCH more humble as time went on. This happened over 20 years ago. We broke up a VERY long time ago. But, this video just reminds me of her.
@@_PhungLeHoangNgoc How we got together is funny. I used to see her on the subway all of the time. So, I finally said something to her and before I knew it, she kept coming to my house and that's how we eventually got together and it went from there.
That makes sense my son’s Kindergarten classmate her mom’s Vietnamese and her dad’s Korean . Her mom doesn’t look like the typical Vietnamese girls I see around. She’s really tall and have light skin tone and her eye shape just the whole appearance looks Korean or Chinese. She’s beautiful. I think Vietnamese girls are pretty and a majority of the girls I’ve seen are short and petite.
South east asian government should boycott the Kpop idol things in their country. The Kpop industry mostly get money from south east asian countries and boost their Korean economy the most compare to the rest of the world. These have been extended to other industries such as movies and music, making the Korean entertainment industry bring in enormous income to the country. If we don't follow it, no one will watch it. Don't forget that the majority of Kpop en korean entertainment viewers come from the Southeast the most Not Latin America, Europe, or the Middle East.
How old are you, 12? People are stanning these idols because of their music, not their nationality. Western people are racists towards SEA people too, so, should we also boycott western artists then?
@@rkdo9554 says who? We're not racist. We're the most nicest people on earth and welcomes everybody into our house even treat them like king. You must've be SK try to whitewash your people's attitude.
@@rkdo9554nope people love them bcs Nationalty.. It's BS when you said they love them bcs The music 😂 and of course their faces 😂 It's fact and true story.. no doubt about it
Outta curiosity, what's your ethnicity? Do you notice different levels of prejudice the typical Koreans have towards you (your ethnicity) vs other foreigners (other ethnicities)?
When I had student exchange activity in Seoul National University, my experience was rather amazing. The korean students are accomodating to us (Malaysians). It could be that they have other international friends while in Uni, that they are exposed on other races can be intelligent too.
Filipino American here. Back in High School in the early 2000s, my friend group of mostly Vietnamese guys kinda beefed with the fobby Koreans. We felt they looked down on us for being “Jungle Asians” and they thought they were higher class than us. Now some individuals from both groups got along and even studied together but we never all hung out in one big group. 20+ years later, my girlfriend is Korean and I got the stereotype from her Mom that Filipinos are poor because that’s what she heard from her church friends. 😂
The Korean males in Kazakhstan look at other Asians that way, including Kazakhs. Not Korean females, they are always polite and nice. I also visited South Korea. Those people were pretty nice and didn't feel out of my shoes.
In the beginning, are they talking about the born foreign podcast by this peter guy? Or what kind of video are they referring to? I think it's very important to speak up about such kinds of things.
there's a brawl on a concert in Indonesia that involves a group of korean and the locals,the way they act like they're descendants of god or something. while in other hand those koreans using Indonesia to boost their Yt channel subscribe numbers. i know"not all korean like that",but there's an incident a well known korean youtuber who intensively pump out Indonesia related content,she got exposed talking bad about Indonesia in her private sns which lead she lost the trust from the Indonesian viewer. from that case I can't 100% trust those korean youtuber. i still watch their content for entertainment but don't feel any attachment to them
@@gothorn2758 golden disk award jakarta, Some freelance photograpgers were prohibited by security to bring their bulky dslr cameras to prevent discomfort for others But they insisted and one of the security touched thr dslr, then the this photographer shoved the security This was happening when kpop boygroup was performing Some even said that the members saw what was happening
@@reignBeaux4946 Actually, anyone who can speak Korean, is competent, and adaptable (The good Koreans will show their presence and respect you) Thats what I experienced in Korea. While in Korea, i notice many foreigners never have Korean friends because they still retain their attitude from back home/ not adaptable. But the foreigners who were adaptable got more credits (even if they end up not being close buddies). These foreigners are usually more confident in trying new things.
Money money money, mura dito e at kelangan natun ng pera nila so why ban? Hahaha parang china lang yan na kunukuha yung isla natin paunti unti, may ginawa ba tayo? Diba wala? Whahaha
@@dilucragnvindr130 nope, they are not unfortunately. Even when they're in a different country, Koreans are still aweful especially guys...except for the ones who grew up in philippines. Koreans who lives in philippines their whole lives are much nicer
No surprise there.. I mean the fact that plastic surgery, materialism and other superficial endeavors gets the front seat in their culture.. I can only imagine what their real thoughts are.
I'm Taiwanese and light-skinned and went to visit Korea with a group of girls, all from East Asian countries. I can't tell you how many times I was shoulder checked by a Korean girl/woman etc. I'd never go back.
To be fair, they do that to everyone, even to Koreans. It's one of my biggest pet peeves living in Korea, so I understand your frustration, but they don't reserve that treatment to foreigners, they just don't care about their surroundings in general.
Thank you!!! People try to look down upon me because i refuse to wear clothing with logos on it and i went to a state university. Also, people always try to fetishize me when i go into public.
“People are so obsessed with appearance they don’t notice their disgusting personality” reminds me of the kdrama True Beauty… it was a ride to watch, but had a lot of beautiful messages.
When people speak of Asian, they mostly think of Chinese, Japanese or Korean. When you ask Chinese, Japanese, Korean if they would date a foreigner, they only mention USA/Europe, basically Whites. Yeah, that's how bad it is. It like the other countries/race doesn't even exist or worth mentioning. There's like 49 countries in ASIA, yet for some reason most non asian can only think of East Asian. SEA is very looked down upon by the world. Our skin colour are not light enough. Our average height are very low. Majority if not all suffered from Colonization and development was great halted due to the aftermath need to dealt with, whether in form of bad deals or result of divide on conquer when imperials brought multiple race to said country. If it weren't for our FOOD, we probably would be looked down much further.
To be frank, the concept of "Asia" and its subdivisions (EA, SA, SEA, CA, WA, etc.) weren't created by the people they call "Asians" themselves but by people outside of the regions. It's better to escape from this trap altogether and let people think what they wanna think.
bro yessssssssss i saw a video of an interviewer approaching korean men and asking if they would date a foreigner and who, and they ALWAYS. mentioned some western celebrity like billie eilish, scarlett johansson, and at the time i was learning korean and lowkey questioning the word they used to ask, "외국인" (foreigner) and wondering if it actually meant a foreigner from anywhere.. because why wouldnt they name someone from literally anywhere else..?
Vietnamese's farmer violated American armies Indonesian scare off Dutch shitting in their pant Malaysian saved American's ass during Black Hawk Down incident and show middle finger to illegal occupation regime isnotreal even before Oct7 Singapore and Brunei is one of richest countries in the world Malaysia alone have 2 fucking tallest skyscrapers in world record. Thailand NEVER being colonized, period. So tell me more about ASEAN being a unrecogniseable? Or being "under developed" countries? Cause historically, we are fucking badass.
My family's korean but I was born and raised in SEA and this thing's true lmao! They come over to visit but look down on everyone. I'm glad I'm a SEA girl at heart AND COLOR ❤️
I’m Filipino, I love to travel, and what you said is one of the reasons why I don’t want to travel to Korea, or at least be a fan of K-pop. I am fair skinned, tattooed, well-put, successful, and I admire everything about myself. To be judged based on my skin or height, or status is very provincial. The world doesn’t evolve around them. Kinda toxic really.
*here's the golden rule.if you show respect, i will show respect in return.but if you talk trash to me, for sure you will not like what you will hear from me*
100% this. I just can't get behind the culture of respect being expected because of x y and z instead of respect being earned. it's made living in east asia hell for me
I'm the exact same way when it comes to respect, you treat me good I'll treat even better, but if you treat me like fecies especially for no reason what so ever, I'm a let you have it like nothing you've ever seen before, you wanna test me? Just try me & you'll see somethin.
try to show respect to someone random on the street who compliment you and then said things like, i thought all people from your country look like monkey! THIS IS REAL, HAPPENED TO SOMEONE I KNOW IN KOREA!
This is so sad to hear... I love Korean people, Korean culture and k-dramas. I'm a big fan od k-dramas. And I just LOVE a few Korean singers like Jungkook, V and Cha Eun-woo. It's sad to know that I probably wouldn't be welcome if went there. I'm starting to learn their language. This is so heartbreaking 💔😭
You’re spot on. That’s exactly what I’ve observed during my time here in Korea. One exception is that Koreans particularly LOVE those from the West. By the West, I mean regions beyond Turkey, encompassing all countries from there onward, regardless of race
@@ranran8934 About their appearance, it's nothing to do with personalities. They were just gastlighted. But yeah, racism is related to personalities and education.
In 2009, I had a Korean classmates called Mr. Kim. He was an older guy. My experience was that the man was super nice to all the native SEA students including myself. Based on my limited time with him, I didnt't experience any racism nor prejudice from him. That's anecdotal, but at least I can vouch that not all Koreans are racists.
Well, not all. But most. Take it from me who has worked with Korean people for 20 years. If you've spent enough time with them. You get to notice it a lot more. They don't say it in your face, they would smile at you and treat you nicely. But you would definitely feel the racist regards one step at a time, thru their actions...the questions they ask...even their simple reactions to things. One example is, I often get this remark from Koreans.."You don't sound Filipino, your accent is so good." In their mind, that's a compliment. That's just one of the many things I experience on a daily basis. They're basically racist and they don't know it.
많은 분들이 한국인은 인종차별주의라 생각하는게 안타깝습니다. 만약 누군가 한국에서 그러한 부당한 대우를 받았다면 제가 대신 사과드립니다. 한국은 오랫동안 단일 민족 국가였기에 타인종에 대한 호기심과 무지함이 있는게 사실입니다. 예로 들어 한국에서 흑형이란 말을 자주들 하는데 이말을 쓰는 사람들은 흑인을 비하하려는 의도가 아니라 황인종보다 뛰어난 흑인의 신체능력을 부러워해서 '형'이란 친근한 윗사람에게 쓰는 높임말을 사용하여 쓰곤합니다. 하지만 요즘은 그러한 구별도 인종 차별이라고 인식하는 사람이 늘어나서 쓰는 사람이 사라지고 있습니다. 당신의 영어 실력을 평가한 사람도 당신이 필리핀 사람이라서 그런말 한것 보다 당신이 영어를 본토 사람처럼 하는것 같아 칭찬으로 한 것 같습니다. 여기서 본토란 영어가 모국어인 사람들입니다 한국인들은 영어가 한국어와 어순이 달라 아주 어렵게 배우지만 한국식으로 발음 하기에 한국인끼리 너 '미국인처럼 발음하네'라는 말은 '너 열심히 공부했네'라는 뜻입니다. 그리고 쉽게들 서로 그런말 합니다. 한국인들은 성격이 직선적이라 처음 한국에 온 외국인들이 믾이 당황 합니다 그냥 서로 '너 살쪘네'.'너 병원에 가야겠다 여드름이 많이 낫다'등 친한사이일수록 더 많이 참견합니다. 언어가 다르고 문화가 다르기에 서로 오해가 생길 수 있지만 저 포함 제 주변에 있는 사람들은 인종차별주의자를 혐오합니다.그렇지만 그렇지 않은 사람도 있기에 그런경우 자신의 불쾌감을 크게 표현해야합니다그러면 반드시 주변의 또다른 한국인이 당신을 도와주고 해결해줄겁니다. 필리핀은 한국전쟁때 도움을 준 우방이라는걸 한국인들은 알고 있고 고마워 하고 있습니다.그리고 한국은 2024년 4월 기준으로 아시아최초 다인종.다문화 국가가 되었습니다 오랜 역사동안 단일 민족에서 다인종.문화로 급격히 바꿔지는 과정에서 오는 부작용과 피해를 모두가 인식하고 있기에 교육과 정책에서 많은 변화가 있을겁니다. 다시한번 한국인으로 부터 인종차별을 받은 분들이 계신다면 제가 대신 사과드리고 싶습니다. 그리고 한국인들이 겉으로 쌀쌀맞아 보이는것도 있지만 친해지거나 누군가가 도움을 요청하면 당신의 든든한 지원군으로 변할겁니다.
Why your experience based on 1 single guy give you conclusion on the whole society? Of course there are always few exception but your so called 'experiences' invalid against what this korean guy opinion
Long comment ahead: Ive always been into languages so I started learning Korean by myself in 2010 (along with Japanese, Italian and Turkish along the way) and after years of just textbook studying I decided to actually talk to people in those languages as i thought it would be great practice My language exchange with Turkish, Italian and Japanese people was wonderful, they were all super nice and helpful. Then there were Koreans.. 😅😅 it was such a bad experience that It turned me off of learning the language itself and I haven't spoken to any Korean person since then (it's been 6 years) Among many annoying interactions, there was this guy who was 3 years younger than me that kept talking to me informally despite only meeting for 5 mins. Now if we were talking in English or another language where formal/informal speech didn't matter then It wouldn't have put me off that much, but we were talking in korean where they were supposedly strict about respecting people older than you, especially those you've just met. Not only was this guy talking to me informally, but he didn't even bother calling me by my name or noona or whatever , he straight up was using 야, 너 I was baffled cause he clearly knew what he was saying and when I asked why he was being disrespectful his answer was "I'm korean oppa!" First of all, dude you're younger than me tf Note: I'm not from SEA and not Asian to begin with but I never had any issues with other Asians except Koreans I'm aware there are good and bad people everywhere and I'm by no means generalising but I've met way too many annoying Koreans to want to do anything with them anymore 😅
@@U-qho but still they will have a future. Not go extinct like SK. And not as depressing as SK. What's the point of all these development if you are one of the most depressing countries in the whole world.
Most of SK rich people are new rich people. So no wonder why they are like that. There are a lot of old rich people in SEA and they don't like showing off.
@@U-qhoTell that to your country which has one of the highest su!cidal rate in the world. Guess you are unhappy with yourself that's why you are like that.
Thank you! 🙏🏻 I visited Korea last year and till this very day still can’t figure out what the hype is all about. It’s overrated and found that the people can be very superficial. All they care about is looks, luxury brands and $$! Not all of course, it’s just the vibe that majority of them give off!
OP is right, and so insightful, on top of being gorgeous. I'm really sorry he deals with any sort of bullying. I wish people looked at how we treated each other over how we look.
I’m Hmong/Miao but when I told people I was eastern asian they get mad at me for literally not being Korean. I feel like Korean beauty standards has taken a big toll on how people expect all eastern asians to look. I’m not even fully Hmong/miao I’m part southeast and southern Asian too but people still expect me to look like I have Korean facial features (I have more Chinese features since Hmong/Miao people have Chinese blood). I feel like people forget how different eastern asians can look from each other all because of Korea. Like Japanese and Korean facial features are really different. Not only that but the amount of toxic beauty standards that are apart of Korea as a whole and the amount of people who are defending the society just because they are k pop fans which are disgusting.
