I think this interview is trying to be realistic for the ppl who actually want to live in or stay for long in Korea. As Korean, I don't think it's disrespectful maybe it's honest bc it's comes from their personal experiences. Someone who wants to live in this country, it's better to be prepared for the worst rather than living up with too unrealistic expectations. Besides, there is always ups and down in every culture and every country. So I don't think they need to sugarcoat it. You are doing great, K Explorer
But also when I went to Korea During the summer, I’ve noticed a lot of the foreigner girls that are there date Korean boys by dating apps or speak of experiences with them in clubs. And then they generalize all Korean men to be the same as the people that they meet through dating apps or clubs. I find that strange. I live in the US, I don’t try to meet men through those sources because they’re usually only looking for one thing
Of course it’s not disrespectful to condemn and expose horrible behaviour. "About 8 in 10 Korean men said they had used violence against romantic partners. According to a study conducted by the Korean Institute of Criminology, 1,593 of 2,000 Korean men, or 79.7 percent, said they had abused a girlfriend while they were dating." "About 71 percent of those who admitted to a history of dating abuse said they had control over their girlfriends' personal activities, such as restricting them from meeting friends or keeping them isolated from others, including family members."
모든나라는 다완벽하지않음. 그렇지만 이채널은 부정적인것에 초점을 맞춘 채널임. 왜냐면 부정적 편견울 깔고있는 질문을 함. 유도심문할때 쓰는 수법임. 부정적인것을 일반화하는건 좋지않음. 반대로 장미빛 환상을 갖는것도 좋은게 아니듯.. 중요한건 시간을두고 천천히 직접 겪어보지않으면 알수없음. 그리고 한국에서도 사람을 사귈때 클럽이나 헌팅보다는 믿을만한 사람한테 소개받거나 보통은 주변에서 찾음. 외국인들상대로 호기심에 또는 가벼운마음으로 접근하는 사람들은 어디에나 조심해야함.
Off topic but I’m so impressed by the last two ladies and their Korean level after a short time. And what?? Self study and that good. I need to get more textbooks and get cracking on the language skills but anyway it’s always so amazing to see foreigners speaking Korean. In America so many different nationalities speak English so it’s so cool to see different nationalities speaking Korean
Textbooks wont cut it. The best way to learn a language is to fully immerse yourself. So it helps to be in the country of the language you're learning e.g. get out there and speak with the locals.
Dinara has almost no accent at all when she speaks Korean. Her manner of speaking follows the rhythm and tone of young Korean women, so it sounds almost native to my ear. Chachi speaks very good Korean with very little accent for the limited way she spoke in this video. I think she's humble about her ability in Korean. That's a very Korean thing in itself!
As a Korean, I hope you guys will meet good people As you guys know not everyone in Korea is like that but there are some idiots and weirdos I think idiots and weirdos are everywhere all over the world so I just hope you guys meet good people here
@@cesars267 The vast majority of humans are average, so most Korean women (and men) are average looking just like most people in the world. Beautiful people exist in all countries, there’s no place with ‘the most beautiful’ people.
I agree! My bf is Korean and he is the sweetest person I've ever met and he showed me he was really serious about us from the start so there was never any doubt about that for me :)
Living in London as a Korean and seeing all those 'Good Korea' videos on RU-vid, I came to a point where this type of video should be more publicly exposed. On the other hand, even though I agree that there is a statistical tendency on what girls in this video described about Korean men, I have to say people are prejudiced anywhere in this world. Even here in the UK, there are girls who only meet Asians or black guys, and I cannot judge their preferences even though I don't like them to like me because I am Korean. At some point, I erased my own prejudice and embraced them as they were since my view was unsustainable. I know it is hard not to have a general opinion after some experiences, but there are people who can be real for you whether you meet them online or not. Being part of a different society requires immense dedication. Give a bit of space to embrace it and sight without your cultural lens. When the time comes that you return or visit your home country again, you will be able to see your own culture and people in a different way.

This is the most dense, privileged comment I've seen😭 why do YOU think they do it? Lmao some people aren't having a great time in their country either, or maybe wanna experience new things and stuff
All my friends who dated Korean guys before were so traumatized by their ghosting, no one mentioned how mama's boy they are. It's like if you date a Korean guy, you're dating his whole family, especially his mum, sometimes makes you feel like you're a third wheel in between his mum and him, anybody with me on this page? ( Please don't let anyone steals you from your parents, stay with them forever! 👌 Problem solved. End of the story.Happy ending👏🏻)
@@bear6726 I assume that you are a male, so what if you can't go anywhere without her dad and she always put her family first? Will you still enjoy it?
dude going on 10+ dates and 15 days that's your issue you are after f boys who want to sleep with you and that’s it when you cheapen yourself this is what happens
I'm moving to Seoul soon. And almost everywhere in the world foreign women are treated like that. Hopefully, I will be able to navigate South Korea with caution. Thank you so much your videos are helpful to me!
Try dating in America. The guy will make you pay for dinner and sleep with you for less than 20 minutes and throw you out into the lobby. And if you get pregnant good luck with that. American guys brag about their body count. Oh she is my number 240. It's like a competition. I don't think that's the case in Korea... If anyone here is complaining about daring in Korea then you won't last 2 seconds in America or even the UK or France with the dating scene. All the guys are sexist. Sleezy. Very disrespectful and catcall and grope your breasts on the streets. That's the western way. Woman are lining up outside Walgreens pharmacy or planned Parenthood to get an abortion pill or an abortion because the dudes get the girls pregnant and run away. That's how bad it is here
I just randomly watched your videos. I’m so impressed that your korean level! your way to talk is very kind,warm and perfect honorific. I literally surprised!!!! good job bruv. I’m so happy you’re staying in korea and trying to show a real korea to all around the world. keep it up man. I’m rooting for you!
If foreign men and women are thinking of dating Korean men or women, it is best to ask UPFRONT how do their parents or families feel about Koreans dating foreigners. If you do this process of elimination you can easily avoid a lot of unwanted attention, or the ones just looking for easiness from foreigners. Lay it on the line with the potential suitor first as to how their parents or families will feel. This is why majority of Koreans will not take foreigners serious, because their parents/families will disapprove of this type dating/relationships. Be wise and not used.
As someone who has lived abroad for 11 years now, with 4 of them in Korea, I attest to a lot of what these women are saying. The worst is when the man is actually married and has a whole family in another province all while stringing you along.
cheap is not a word that cross my mind when it comes to any woman , I wouldn’t allow myself to be okay with feeling that way as far as my outlook on them
한국여성들도 과거에는 똑같은 경험을 많이 겪었습니다. 가난했던 나라였을때 한국여성들은 외국 남자를 동경했습니다. 특히, 대부분의 아시아에서는 백인남성을 선망했죠 과거 주한 미군들이 애기만 낳고 본국으로 돌아가버리는 일이 엄청 많이 있었습니다. 그리고 외국인 남성들이 자신들을 동경하는 한국여성들을 꼬셔서 야한영상을 만들거나, 한국여자들은 쉽다, 싸다는 영상들을 만들기도 했고, 뉴스에도 종종 나왔죠. 국가 경제력. 그리고 여성들이 외국남성에게 가지는 지나친 환상 + 그것을 이용해서 잠자리를 가지려는 남자. = 끔찍한 경험... 이 기본 공식은 세계 어디에나 존재합니다. 지금은 한국이 조금은 발전했고, 여성들도 경제력이 향상되면서 과거보다 외국남자에 가지던 기대치가 줄어든 거죠. kpop과 드라마를 보고 환상을 갖는 어리석은 짓은..... 과거에 헐리웃과 빌보드에 매료되어 서양남을 찬양했던 한국여성들과 같은 현상입니다
Thank you for another wonderful video!!! I hope you keep making videos like these because they really do help someone like me who is from America wanting to go to Korea someday to have a better idea of how I should be thinking and not really have so many high expectations when it comes to dating there and what to watch out for and remember.
I would second what the girl said about not meeting online in Korea. It's bad enough being foreign with the perception that you're not going to stay in Korea but online gives another layer of distance where the men can "play" freely without it getting back to their social circles. IF you're interested in something serious, date a classmate or someone you meet through a hobby.
It depends on the person that uses it. If I use tinder with the mindset of finding a potential match for a long term and that match is on the same wave length, then it served what I was looking for. Granted the model is geared towards more of a hookup culture type of app because they make more money if you don't succeed or if you are constantly hooking up.
Great topic, KExplorer! I find your videos insightful and adds a different perspective/dimension of what South Korea is/can be. It's so important to hear the experiences from different folks to get a better picture. Cheers!
People watch TOO MUCH KOREAN DRAMA THINKING THEY WILL FIND A "LALA LAND KOREAN MEN JUST LIKE IN KDRAMA" I'm korean and 💯 korean and when I see non korean talk about korea they think it's so "perfect" 🤣🤣 just like when I thought the USA is "perfect" place but no because I came back to reality
I lived in S.Korea for 3 years as a White/Jewish American in my mid 20s. I wasn’t interested in dating or finding a partner but I got involved in the underground kink scene and entered a bdsm relationship with a really sweet guy who was a sub. We did this for 8 months. It was a great time, we parted amicably and we are still friends today!
Not in all countries, not even all European countries. It depends. I agree dating apps aren't healthy, but I must say there have been many marriages of people who met through dating apps.
Are many girls going to Korea just to date and find a husband so they can live there with a visa? Maybe that's not the best reason for moving into a foreign country. Differences in cultures should be considered before going there. Why all the complaining, if they're disappointed with the people and their culture, when it's not what they expected/wanted and isn't the same as their home country's culture?! Every country/culture is different and is under no obligation to change themselves to fit foreigner's expectations and preferences.
The only thing I don’t like about it is that crimes against foreigners aren’t taken seriously so some Korean guys prey on foreigners knowing that most likely nothing at all will happen to them. Actually, it’s that way for Korean women born and raised there too.
You joking?? Korean women are the most feminists in the world. Korea is the only country in the world that only the men go to mandatory military service. I hope Korea become more like Isreal in the future.

Great video. Korea is a very traditional country with a non open-minded mentality. Foreigners are not welcome in a korean family. There are exception to the rule if the person is white(blond). White people are treated better than darker people. Korean culture is to traditional for my open minded mentality from West Europa. I didn't know South Korea existed till 5 years ago when I started watching a drama on youtube. I got addicted watching drama's😆After the third drama, I started learning korean because I hate to read subtitles. I started using a language app. I was looking for a exchange language partner but I was getting in contact with guys they wanted to hooked up. I was not looking for an Asian man to date. I just wanted to learn korean. I gave up learning Korean after so many disturbing messages, calls and stalkers. I wanted to forget everything about Korea and forgot about Korea for a while. I started studying Japanese since Japanese have been a culture that I always was curious about. I kept my korean profile open because I forgot to delete it. I remember changing my profile: only serious profesional people who wants to learn a language, NO SEX, NO DRAMA, NO BULLSHIT than I met a couple of serious korean guys to exchange a language. I have been learning everything about Korea with them but with a different perspective. Soon, I will travel to Korea and Japan. Most of my friends are male. I love to make new friends. I learned to be direct and honest. I tell what I want and don't want from the beginning of a friendship, so I don't waste my time. I never used Tinder or other dating apps or go to clubs to meet a good guy. That's the worst you can do if you are not looking to hook up for just sex.
Wow so sad for foreigners who really have a hard time making meaningful connections while they are there. If I were to visit I might have to have a no dating rule, since the general impression is that the women are easy. Like if that’s what someone thinks about you, you are basically a free call girl. That’s awful!
If I’m listening something in English it’s kinda nice to stick to the language and not suddenly switch to questions in Korean. Not gonna run towards the screen to just read subtitles
I'm Turkish and unfortunately my culture and Korean culture are literally the same. Idk how this happens but they react the way. Patriarchy reigns and it's not cool.
@@wanda5548 I always thought Koreans should be better (technology and cleverness) but no LOL we react the same way, the family life, the marriage, care of children, elderly care... Same🙃
The second young lady that wore a cap has a very good point on online dating! She mentioned that people who may be looking for a serious committed relationship that would use it ; It's NOT the Best way to meet someone . It always Best to meet them personally for yourself whether that is on a job ,college (high school ,an outing or family gathering with a friend or relative that would introduce you to them
In this type of videos, many or some foreign girls using tinder, meeting korean men in clubs 😅 PLZ if you want to meet great korean guy, stop using tinder, stop meeting men in clubs Find other ways to meet your kind great korean boyfriend Idk why they expect nice guy in tinder or club
Yo K Explorer would you be open to making a video about yourself? All your videos are awesome but what's even more awesome is the person behind them which makes me curious about your background.
Wherever you go, man are man. There are great portions of good man, and some are not. Now, it is your job to figure out if the man is good or not good for you. Do you think American man, European man, Latin, African any man is any different?
I think if i go to korea. As a hijabi i would just not straight off be friends or date with korean first but i will find some people the same race and religion as mine and be roommates and stuff, and then jumped off to find some korean people to be friends with just so I don’t get moody and breakdown when i’m making this kind of process and it’ll be hard :)
I feel like I got so lucky.. He wants to take things slow and just get to know me first and isn't clingy. Jiat normal amount of communication and if I want to do something by myself he's like "take care of yourself and enjoy, I'm here if you want to talk"... I got very lucky 😊
I'm from the Philippines and I met my Korean husband back in 2012 (I was 22 and he was 25 y/o when we met). We decided to move here than continuing my profession in the UK. Sometimes I'm also fretting if we made the right decision to live here. What I'm only grateful for is that I have a great and caring husband. (My in-laws too love me so dearly) Anyway, it's sad and quite appalling to know that some Korean men perceive that way. It's never good to generalized, however I cannot totally blame them because it's also undeniable that a few are sadly really after the visa. I saw some couples with huge age gaps (like 20-30 yrs age difference) perhaps that's why some of them have that kind of thinking.
I'm korean guy and I want to say not all guys here want one night stand only ..... Here's my experiennce with a foreign girl..... I had known her for years online thru all the things that happened and we were about to meet last month finally but she passed away for a car accident here in Korea. It's been a month and there was no single day with out tears so far. I wish I could go back one month ago so I can save her. The point is I also had dated Korean girls for long time but this foreign girl was a girl I have loved most so far. I know it may sound strange but my feelings have been true. I don't know I can experience this feeling again with anyone...
I think woman from western countries think that in Korea they will find their (sounds rude but kdrama men) but then reality hits. This is a universal thing.
In the 2020s women still go to clubs thinking that they will meet "Mr. Right" there? I'm not saying it's not possible but it's the exception rather than the rule. Clubbing is for fun....music, dancing, drinking and anything non-committal. Please stop...
I tried one Korean dating app for experiment, everyone is weirdo there😂😂 they would always want to meet you right away and you what that means haha 편태 남자 무서워요
Saw this for 2nd time and prob the best video regarding to dating Korean men. Great selection of ladies with diff experiences, and great opinions. You also has a great way of interviewing that gave your interviewee a peace of mind. Made me want to learn Korean now. I agreed with the student. Not all but majority of Korean tend to think Korea is #1 or #2 in Asia. The other region get look down in. The countries that she named are correct bec of mail order bride. My family actually got told to our faces. There are racist and other among the race too unfortunately. 😔
Just dont waste time on traveling for those reasons -the chances to work out is less than 1%,even in our own contries the serious relationships are less than 1% tbh
huh? There's something called 소개팅, which is blind dates set up by friends, coworkers and family. It's a very, very common thing. Many men and women have had multiple relationships usually before they marry. It's obvious you know nothing about Korea. Why do you speak your opinion of it so confidently? 😂
I'm a black woman living here in Korea and I avoid dating Korean men. I stick with other foreigners. Even my Korean female friends tell me not to ever date one 😆
The interviewer should do a thing on white horse. How is it a thing. Does it have anything to do with the last empire? The white horse insult is interesting.
To the Asian girl in black puffer, Don’t generalize Philippine women as cheap! Most Filipina are more educated now and have sense of being when it comes relationship or dating!
she's right, maybe because of the phenomena of mail bride order from southeast asia ..that's why koreans tend to feel superior like "Aryan superior" on those southeast asians ...i've seen it with my own eyes many times in my own european country and in korea , and this is not just from men but also women ... but for women , lot of them are also asslicking white people to the point like it feels like they are worshipping the YT boys while they are looking down on asians ( but it's only different when they know you're quite rich and you drive a nice car 😅) btw,all of these are only from my own experience as someone who worked with older koreans for a while (i mean not students) and who've been there many times for work
She wasn't saying it from HER point of view. She was describing how korean men perceives women from those countries and how these guys tend to generalize them.
"백마" 하얀 말 말 그대로 백인여성을 창녀취급하며 부르는 저속한 말 입니다. 정확한 어원은 모르지만 아마도 부산창녀촌에서 백인여성들과 흑인여성들이 접대부로 일하게 되면서 "백마(하얀 말)" "흑마(검은 말)" 로 불리게 되었고 언젠가부터 러시아 백인여성들이 유흥가에 접대부로 전국적으로 많이 취업하던 때가 있었습니다. 그때부터 아마도 "백마" 라는 단어가 널리 퍼지게 된 것 같네요
It’s Korean men that looks for specially white women to hook up with and take pictures/videos. They sometimes or most of the time post in on websites so other men, who do the same, can see it. The same for black women is « black horses ». It’s pretty creepy.
In the video she said SHE thought she had to do this with Korean men. Since she was probably going on dates before coming to Korea, did she feel that's what she needed to do b/c of her experiences with men before, i.e where she was from? That way of thinking came from somewhere. There are many cultures where men are telling women they want them to cater to their ego or be overly submissive but you find as a woman that you get treated much better when you don't do that, state your boundaries clearly and just be yourself. This is the right thing to do with all men. I wonder what it was about Korean men that helped her see it so quickly, and at a young age? Were they more honest and open? You know, an immediate change in treatment and respect for her, instead of gaslighting when she started accepting the compliments confidently or saying things to make her feel insecure when she stopped trying to overly please as much? Just wondering?
Perso, si je vais en Corée, ce sera pour apprendre et pratiquer la langue, et pour MANGER!😅 Le "hookup" me conviendrais car je n'ai aucune envie de m'attacher affectivement et dêtre "en couple" avec une personne en sachant dès le premier jour la date de fin de relation😅
Giiiiiirls! All your experiences you told has NOTHING TO DO WITH NATIONALITY. You have a global cultural status: foreigner. And this is everywhere the same struggle if male or female. As you said most important 1. the language cause without good conversation you cant learn about each other. 2. the behaviour and manners as a person you show independently of your culture 3. respect and knowledge about the country and tradition 4. your female behaviour and manners dependently of your own culture 5. dont expect that men are better or worse than anywhere else. Men are men like women are women. Mostly its not the different culture but different expectations. The more you seek the "difference" the more the difference will bother you. (Parents everywhere are controlling their kid's life. nothing special.) Seek and celebrate the common. I am really glad to be an older girl and to watch from the calm side. Stay safe, stay international!
About the Korean family thing brought up, I think the answer is not black and white. Newer generations are becoming more open-minded. A lot of Koreans believe in homogeneity, and "keeping the bloodline". But on the other side of the coin, it's also wrong to try to own other people and restrict them from their own freedom of choice. Some people are open-minded, others are more narrow-minded and some have mixed feelings. It is what it is, and we can only control ourselves. That people prefer to date "their own kind" is really nothing new. Each individual should have their own free will.
Listen, I don't know when these kinds of videos will stop. It seems like from 8 years ago until now, everyone is interested in convincing themselves that Korean males are good or not with foreigners. Why not Australians, Canadians, Brazilians, Puerto Ricans, or English people? They are more like the US in the rest of the world, and it seems that Koreans are definitely not interested in being involved with foreigners like other cultures. Besides that, they are taking advantage of all of this situation. It's time to STOP and forget all of this Korean cringe and the overestimated situation."
100% 동의합니다. 로맨틱한 관계를 바라고 한국에 온다면 반드시 실망할겁니다. 한국인한테도 kdrama, kpop은 판타지에 불과합니다. 한국인은 혈통을 따지는 것 뿐만 아니라 언행까지 서로의 기대에서 벗어나는 것을 좋아하지 않습니다. 좋은 것만 보면 굉장히 좋아 보이겠지만 그렇지 않은 면도 있습니다. 한국인으로서 외국인들이 한국에 대한 과도한 기대를 품는 것을 우려합니다. 한국은 모두를 담기에 너무 좁습니다. 각자 머무는 곳을 더 소중하게 돌아보길 바랍니다.
Please I want to ask what is so special about dating a Koran guy I think the only thing that should carry me there is just only for business. Going there to meet a guy is crazy to me. 😂😂
다른 나라는 어떤지 모르겠는데 한국에서는 클럽이나 온라인 앱 같은 곳에서는 특별히 쓰레기가 넘쳐 납니다. 그런 곳에서 만나는 남자를 한국 남자라고 오해 하지 않았으면 좋겠네요. 개인적인 의견이지만 자신감이 넘치고 헌팅을 많이 하는 놈중에도 제대로 된 사람은 별로 없을 거 같음. 그냥 외국에서 아시안 남자 이미지인 샤이가이가 제 평범한 성격사람일 것임. 내가 볼땐 드라마에 나오는 남자는 비현실적이지만 그래도 외국보단 로맨틱하고 착한 한국 남자 많은 것 같다 하지만... 말해다 시피 여자 꼬시러 다니는 놈들중에 그런 놈이 있을가? 좋은 남자 만나고 싶으면 외국인 여성들은 본인이 데쉬하는게 좋은 한국남자 만날 확률이 높을 듯 보편적으로 외국 남자들 보다 한국남성이 쓰레기가 많다는 건 인정 못하겠다. 비슷한 거 까지는 인정
