Third culture kids: aka. people who have grown up in a culture that's different to their parents' during their development years. That's what me and my best friend Mun Jeong talked about in this video, as we have lived our lives in Korea and in the UK. Thanks for watching :)

Happy Lunar New Year! I grew up living in many places due to my dad being in the military and it made me more accepting of all people and had friends of all races. We were all friends. Still to this day, I love meeting people of all cultures.

@camryn_deja8968 Год назад

Regarding the racial segregation thing, I think it depends on what school you go to in the states. At my public school, there were around 1,500 students and it was quite diverse. Everyone hung out together. I think it just depends.

Watching this video makes me realize there are so many parallels between being Korean adopted and being a third culture kid. It's obviously a different experience bc you grew up with access to your birth culture through your family, but I can totally relate to feeling out of place in either country (sticking out like a sore thumb in the US and people not considering me Korean "enough" when I'm in Korea) And I'm also a huge ARMY bc BTS has been such a tangible way for me to connect to Korea. Thanks for putting content about identity out there bc it's fascinating to hear other people's experiences!

Unrelated. Just wanted to send out a hug saying I hope you are doing well. Sounds like the behind the scenes at NS has been rough and trying for everybody. Sad to hear but Danny had to let everybody know. I am just some random mommy/professional/middle aged lady type out here in Houston but I have come to care about you 3 and I hope the wounds between you heal with time. I have unfortunately been around long enough to have sense of the awkward pain I suspect you are living with and I hope that life brings you all opportunities in recompense beyond what you can imagine right now. Blessings to all 3 of you, Danny, David, and you, dear Anna. Happy Seollal and I hope this year brings you peace, contentment, and prosperity. God bless.

@oanairinadolea5996 4 месяца назад

Such an interesting video! I related so much, currently living in the UK but having grown up in Canada and Romania (where I was born). Being "third culture" is SO REAL!! It is of course different in certain ways when you are physically similar to the majority, but the confusion about where you belong is still there, and very real... as is the realisation that the advantages of being a third culture kid most definitely outweigh the negatives!! At least I think so... :)

i relate and also don't relate to tcks as a child of immigrants in the states... i def agree with the identity crisis thing, but i think, ironically, bts made me want to get in touch with my roots more even though i'm not korean LOL. sadly my parents country is war torn and i don't have many ways of visiting or keeping in touch, but i do what i can. this was such a nice video to watch! you two seem so cool i can see why you're friends. also 9:15 this kinda helps make the kpop world make a little more sense to me lolol 😭 and happy new year!! 💜

@aylablue669 Год назад

HI ladies! Happy Seollal to you both in retrospect.. So this was an interesting watch. I thought third culture meant something more similar to my story than the ones you mentioned: I'm British born but to a Turkish mum and Mauritian dad, so I'm only British by birth but not blood... then I had to learn about my parents' cultures when we went on holidays to their home countries. My younger bro is just 17 months younger than me and we learned resilience and independence early when we travelled alone together with no adults, we'd fly to Turkey every summer to see our grandparents for example. We grew up in Paris part time also, so now at 43 I speak 6 languages and I'm learning Korean! Those are some benefits but I can definitely relate to not feeling like you fit in anywhere. Anyway regardless of the definition I think there's for sure similarities between children of immigrants and people living in non-native cultures. My kids are black and white from my side and Peruvian Chinese from their dad's side, and I raised them in the UK and in Spain for 3 years. We now live in Glasgow (Anna you'd fit right in now, there's a large Korean population here, and Partick is called the Chinatown of Glasgow because there's more East Asian restaurants than "indigenous" places, it's great. We even have a Korean church!) and I feel way more accepted in Scotland where they are funny, open and welcoming compared to the south of England where a longer exposure to other cultures has maybe caused them to be more close minded. I'm coming to Seoul in June so let's see how it is for me there... Thank you for your videos and sharing your experiences! 💜

As a black person, I totally agree with the racial group thing and I got bullied for wanting to hang out with Asian and white people growing up so I feel what she saying.

@davidwong4821 Год назад

Some people of the same race stick together because they share the same culture and for protection from racism, it’s group safety.

@johnmillssr8001 Год назад

@@davidwong4821 I agree with that and I understand that reason I was just used to hanging around the same group for so long and I see different people from different backgrounds and ethnicities hanging out, I just wanted to meet different people and see what's that like u know?

Never knew this had a name. S.American by birth, but educated in USA military boarding school. A different experience I suppose. Still learning from it. My wife is American by birth, but raised in international schools in Italy. Neither of us ever fit in really. Until we met each other. Happy to be outcasts together.

@Steffy.93 Год назад

I am not a TCK but I am a foreigner in the country in which I currently live but people don’t realize it until I speak. Over the years I have quietly listened to the racial comments in some situations that I have encountered, interesting to hear how some people really feel about cultures outside of their own and sad that this type of ignorance persists in the Information Age.

좋은 내용, 좋은 대화에서 아쉬운 두가지는 첫째는, 길가다 가끔씩 들었던 '칭챙총'을 그닥 인종차별로 임팩트있게 받아들이지 않으셨다는 점.. 왜냐면 실제로 많은 흑인분들은 절친 아닌 이상, 타인종이 Black의 'B' 자만 꺼내도 눈을 휘둥그레 뜨며 정색하려 하는 경향이 있잖아요. 차별 아니어도 차별로 받아들일 마음의 자세랄까^^; 근데 대놓고 칭챙총 들었던걸 인종차별 카테고리에 굳이 넣지 않고 넘어간거랑 둘째는, 연애시- 하루종일 사소하게 많이 연락 통보- 이 부분은, 남녀가 둘다 바쁜 직장인이고 30대 넘어간 나이이면 훨씬 줄어들었을 겁니다 ㅎㅎ 둘중 한명 이상이 적당히 한가해서 생기는 일일것 같아요. 곧 경쟁사회에 뛰어들면 너무 치열해서 그럴 에너지도 별로 없어지고요..ㅜㅜ 오히려 비교적 시간이 더 여유로운 영미권 출신들이 연락도 자주 안하는 모습이 본토 한국인에겐 성의없어 보이긴 하죠. 한국인은 본토에서 그시기 지나면 그렇게 집중적으로 달달하고 꽉찬 연애를 하기 힘들어 지니까... 아, 그리고 한국식 연애가 드라마 작가들의 세뇌 덕에 변질된 점도 크다고 저는 봅니다. 한국남자를 사귀어 본 일본여자분들 얘기 들어보시면 알거예요 정말 드라마처럼 챙겨주더라 라는 말들. 물론 "초반에는 그러다가 결국 변하더라"로 끝나지만 ㅋㅋ 실제 연애, 실제 인생은 16회로 끝나지 않고 출연료도 없으니까 그런가봐요 ^0^

You didn’t suffer racism in the UK? You’re very lucky, maybe it’s because you’re an Asian female and racists are less likely to be racist to Asian females and because you went to a middle class boarding school. I’ve suffered a lot of racism growing up as a Chinese male in the UK and it’s really affected my life and beliefs, Asians in western countries suffer a lot of racism and racial abuse. I still suffer racism in the UK as a 38 year old and I’ve been called ch**k many times. I’m Chinese.

When you visited NYC recently, did you feel like you blended in? There is so much diversity that most people probably thought you were American.

Good video! But a bit worried about the part 'share everything btw couples'. This is so rare thing even in Korea and I'm over 40 and have never accepted or done going through sns and texts with my ex in the past. So please don't generate and excuse that this is the common couple thing in Korea 'cause it is obviously not. Most normal Koreans feel very offensive on this attitude. Ciao!
