@@larams7763I am korean american. Let me just say, korea is a much better place to live. I have to deal with racism everyday. It is really bad. Be glad you live in a country where you are the majority. I don't want to move to korea now because of the education system, but when I come of age, I would gladly serve in the army
I too love South Korea. I lived there for 25 months, April 1998 to May 2000. I was an Army Helicopter mechanic. I love the people, the culture and just the ability to make friends wherever i went. I too look forward to visiting again soon.
Thomas Casalenuovo I’m thinking into moving to South Korea in the future even though I’m still a freshman,I wanna become a veterinarian u think it’s a good idea
@@falinecue5579 freshman in highschool? If so id say wait at least until age 20 to make a decison that big. Try Army enlistment in Army if eligible and find out needed jobs there in Korea and request at MEPS. The key is your mature enough to make that decision properly. You cant just move somewhere without a plan.
Kim-Jong-un is now Kim-Jong-oof- Edit: after a peaceful talk with the North korean Military, I have come to say that our dear leader is still alive and healthy!
To be honest 'Drew' drew out the travel bug in me.😉 All of Drew's content has inspired me so much to travel amd learn about the culture from around the world. All my work in this quarantine has been made possible due to the motivation Drew brought in my life. Thank you so much Drew. And I wish you stay safe and continue to make amazing videos ahead! Waiting for the last six countries to be done! ❤️ I am legit watching it at 5.36 am in the morning cause I am a big fan❤️
As a South Korean subscriber, thank you for making this video. This is so true. we hope both of the countries stop ceasefire and get united sooner than later
I was in DPRK too and i saw Kim Jon Un in real life at the 2018 Mass Games opening ceremony, he was like 50 m. away from the tourist section on the stadium. The games were epic. The whole trip was incredible, i wanted to go for years and one of the reasons was your video from the marathon :D I spent 7 nights and the trip was very intense, we saw the DMZ, the Mass Games, Wonsan and Kaesong cities with sleepovers, Mount Kumgang and bunch of other stuff. The trip was around 2000 euros and it's worth every penny! Definitely would go at least one more time some day.
Wow! I had no idea that you could speak Korean so well! It's super difficult from what I've heard and my own (very limited) experience with the Korean language. I would like to visit the West Sea Islands, Dadohaehaesang national park (off the coast of Yeosu in Joella province), and the Dongdaemun midnight market in Seoul. I hope to stop off there on the way back from Japan when I go there! I'd have to improve my Korean though. North Korea sounds interesting but dangerous, and I'm not keen on the idea of having a tour guide with me at all times.
You must know about korea much better than me since you traveled both sides. Its joyful to watch your videos bro. Take care. Ill follow you until you travel the whole world. 건강 조심해요!
So nice i enjoyed it Whoever is reading this and is going through very difficult times everything will be fine. Dont lose focus keep your eyes on your dreams, vision and goals
As I am Korean(of course South), absolutely agree with his video. Thanks Drew! He even knows a lot more about North Korea than I do. It’s really crazy and strange how we sometimes forget about North Korea. Hope poor people there could see the world out there and Totally pathetic.....😞😭
Fun Fact: there are some North Korean defectors that want to come back because of deep they are in poverty since South Korea is notoriously known for high living cost that not everyone Can afford. North Korea also has GUARENTEED housing, healthcare and much more to ensure a good life for their citizens. South Korea does non of which, which is why suicide rates are so high in South Korea. Glory to the democratic peoples Republic of Korea! 🇰🇵
한국에서 2년동안 사신지 몰랐어요!!! 비디오 재미있어요!! I didn’t know that you had lived in South Korea for 2 years!!!!thank you for your funny videos and you speak Korean really well!!!
2:08 It is true that there are a lot of plastic surgeries in South Korea, but that doesn't mean Koreans are doing plastic surgeries a lot. Many customers are from outside of Korea, mostly from China and Southeast Asian countries. I think plastic surgery and "dog meat" problems are too exaggerated in Western countries. South Koreans almost do not eat dog meats too. They only ate it when they were poor and had nothing to eat in 1960s.
Wow Drew thank you soo much for this video. I'm also a North Korean defector and your videos inspired me to great extent. thanks again I really appreciate your videos.
A friend of mine has been living in Seoul, SK for a couple of years now. His husband is from there & works as a pediatrician. I hope to go visit them someday. And u know, I think it’s kinda sad that the 2 sides have been separated for so long that the language is changing between them. 🤔
@Drew Binsky I heard that if you visit North Korea, they make you put flowers on the statue of Kim Il-Sung as the first thing in your guided tour. Is that true?
@@drewbinsky Okay, but more than one group says tour groups have to. www.worldnomads.com/travel-safety/eastern-asia/north-korea/north-korea-travel-tips
I'd really like an expanded vlog on your trip to the North. Were your minders aware you spoke the language? What did you pick up on that the average non-Korean language speaker wouldn't?
Kim was my God! This video described the differences between South Korea and North Korea very well in a short video. I am so happy for you got out there safely!
Thanks for making such comparison videos, it is eye-opening to notice two worlds so different from each other living side by side. And how can somebody be so frantically isolated in this 21st century of connectively. Truly said, world is full of surprises....
Ideas of some countries: Iceland VS Greenland Norway VS Sweden Russia VS China Lithuania VS Latvia Peru VS Ecuador Any Stan VS Any Stan Spain VS Portugal
@@sirrahat8077 no if you have american or canadian passport then you are ok and they show off you as their boyfriend... girls also have a habit of putting wet powder makeup on their faces to make them look more white.
I saw plenty of old men in South Korea with scraggly beards, but mostly out in the country. I don't remember seeing many beards in Seoul or other cities.
Imagine if the 2 Koreas had a student exchange programme between their countries for teenagers. Those exchange students would be in totally different worlds.
2 ways to distinguish North Korea and South Korea: North - No Internet South - Fastest Internet, people are obsessed with internet, that's why in the first place LG and Samsung first came up with smart fridges. South - Advanced Life, with high tech companies, insurance, automobiles etc like Drew told, 12th largest economy with companies like Kia, LG and Samsung. North - Prison and Hell life, nothing much to do really
Korea has not been one country since the beginning of humanity. It was ruled as various kingdoms; sometimes together and sometimes separately. There is literally a period of time called the Three Kingdoms Period.
South Korean here. This video made me realize how blessed I'd been from the very beginning of my life I mean I can't possibily imagine if I were born just a few hundreds killometers up north then.. how different my life would look today
