I actually just had a vacation in Korea (Apr 2023). I stayed in Seoul, and as a black man with locs, I had a really positive experience. I drank with random people and had conversations / interactions with people that were fantastic. From people asking about the states to people asking about my hair and wanting to touch it, it was a great experience. I will say this. I did notice that the Koreans I encountered seemed shy to start conversations, so try initiating if you're a foreigner. Also, I bought drinks for a table just to break the ice, and they couldn't understand at first, but it ended with good conversations. Point being... don't be afraid to make the first move and invite them to talk or drink/eat with you! (:

When I went to Korea (by myself..as a woman) on vacation, I had basically nothing but positive experiences. Everyone was nice to me. Maybe they were nicer because I took the time to learn a few dozen words to help me get by so I wasn't one of those stereotypical foreigners who expected everyone to speak English to me, or maybe it was because I chose to respect the culture and enjoy it as it is. I had a wonderful time and cannot wait to go back. I honestly wish I could live there. As soon as I got off the plane, I just felt like a part of me was "home". Sounds super corny, I know.

I like how you are innocently acknowledging everyone is pretty in their own way

I've lived in Korea for 5 years and I have to admit that I still have some stereotypes like all Koreans can handle spicy food, Koreans are obsessed with their looks, Korean men are only interested in foreigners to "see what it's like". But at the same time people make assumptions about me because I'm a foreigner. Assuming I'm probably loud, I only like hamburgers and pizza, I can't handle spicy food, can't understand Korean, I'm obsessed with k-pop, etc. One thing I have to say about people who live in small towns. They are so kind and they get SO EXCITED when foreigners visit, even if their English isn't good and your Korean isn't good. Most tourists come just to visit Seoul, just like most Koreans go to the US to visit New York City or LA, so it's such a shock when they see a foreigner. One time I stayed in a hanok in 산청 near 지리산 in the middle of winter all by myself, and the lady was so surprised and excited. She showed me a bunch of books about the village and told me stories, asked me why I decided to come there. There are so many things to see in Korea besides Gyeongbok Palace and Hongdae, and I wish more tourists knew that.

Do they despise foreigners or rather just find them disgusting? I am honestly very curious.

I loved Korea. Was hosted by a business owner. I was treated like royalty. Food was amazing even at locals hangouts. Black pot and brazen meats were awesome. I was so impressed that everything named had a deep symbolic meaning even to the redbean ice cream. I even attended a formal Korean wedding. I unfortunately overdressed for the humidity which was a little overwhelming also in transit areas underground. I’ve had a chance to be friends with Young Nam Cho who has done credit to your Korean Culture. I shopped the local off street markets and had my assistant do all the negotiating on sales prices.

For me, I actually really like K-pop and K-Drama. And yes, this is exactly why I want to visit South Korea. But not for what everyone thinks. Not the fairytale dates or typical K-Drama stuff. But because of the places. Being there, visiting those places where some K-Dramas were filmed. It feels like when "The Witcher" series was released on Netflix. I played the game and immediately got a nostalgic feeling when I saw some places, details, scenes or monsters that I myself encountered during the game. (It results in the feeling of "Yes, I was there too".) Or when I was in Germany where the famous German series Cobra11 was filmed. I visited those places where the series was filmed. It gives a very different feeling to be there.

Dear Dan, you did a good job in waking up the dreamers about the unrealistic view of Korea. It is a great country but not because of Kdrama and Kpop, but because it is a country that struggled to become the power house that it is today. No place on this earth is a perfect place. We are all humans, and we all have the good, the bad, and the ugly regardless of the country. I just hope with the new year we stop judging one another based on where we come from and just treat each other with respect and acceptance regardless of color or race.

My own family was guilty but we've worked through it haha. I think everyone on both sides needs to understand that everyone is just people.

So good!👏🏻 I’ve also have loved kpop and k-dramas since I was little, but I think it’s important to study the rest of the culture as well. I went to Korea a couple of years ago, and I would say Korean’s really appreciate you learning even just basic Korean (just like how you’d appreciate anyone coming to your country at least trying to learn your language). My friend’s always says they are bad at English but speak so well, everyone just needs a bit of encouragement (lol I feel the same when I speak Korean😅). When I went to Korea as well, I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything bad. I mean when I’d go into the train and sometimes people would look (but more so when I was in like busan or daegu) or when I spoke but honestly it was fine. I know I look different from everyone and I’m speaking a different language, it’s just important for everyone to have open minds and not take everything to heart, people are just curious most of the time. And last thing😂😅 I have experience Korean guys asking me, “so have you ever been with a Korean guy👀” but not everyone is like that! I have Korean guy friends who are so sweet and respectful and I used to date a Korean guy as well, you are friends and date someone because of their personality and characteristics not their ethnicity 🤍 Sorry it’s so long😅

About racism and xenophobia: You're so right. I have heard so much misinformation about Koreans but I don't believe things like that easily. A couple of months ago, I was talking to a Korean person living here, whom I know and we were having a normal conversation about entrepreneurship. Since I am into beauty blogging, we gradually touched on the topic of K-Beauty. I was surprised that he didn't know that the word "whitening" is problematic for many countries with a diverse population. I told him about it and even though he lived outside Korea for quite some time, he too didn't realize this. And what I learned from this is: Koreans aren't necessarily "racist" when they talk about fair skin. As you said, they don't have enough information or knowledge on this. They appreciate even skin tone. I realized how some Korean celebrities are often targeted because of the same reason. It's all about having a little bit of patience and teaching one another. We are all humans and I am sure, it's more about how you connect with someone than anything else. Thank you for this video. All the points are true and basic common sense. We can't generalize a whole country and culture just based on watching stuff on the internet. Gotta experience it with an open mind and open heart.

Historically, It has to do with royalty and not only Korean Asians are like this. Back in the days of Kings and Queens, people were able to tell what social class a person was based on their skin tone. If you had dark/tanned skin it was an indicator you were a peasant or slave working outdoors and people with money tend to have fair skin cause they be indoors all damn day. So naturally over time, people who had dark skin wanted to hide their dark skin so people didn’t know they were poor. That’s why there are all these skin lighters or “whiteners” in the skin care market. And btw when Koreans use the word “whitening” they are not talking about white-washing themselves to look like white people, PEOPLE. They are simply talking about making themselves look more fair skinned and unblemished. Koreans have all these crazy sun avoiding products like arm sleeves and wacky hats.

Thanks! This was great hearing from your perspective.

New Subscriber, Thank you for creating your channel to share and educate us about the Korean culture. I also appreciate our patience. I just happen to stumble on a Korean film on Netflix(Record of Youth) while in quarantine from Covid last year and have been following ever since. Also a big fan of AAIFF in New York. I grew up in church and had to wear modest clothing so when I saw some of the walking videos(Seoul Walker) it reminded me so much of when I was growing up. Now as an adult I appreciate and embrace that modesty, so there are aspects of the Korean culture the resonates with me as being an adult like having manners, showing respect, carrying yourself in a respectful way, being well groomed, the diet(on the lighter side), etc. So I connected with a culture that embraces different aspects of my personality that I got teased about, that seemed old fashioned or not with the times in my culture(America). I know the k-pop dressing is another facet of your culture, that is nice as well. I do love the k-dramas, variety shows, etc. I think the content is clean, don't get me wrong I like action films, thrillers, etc but the content is not Rated R(to me at least). Lastly, then men(actors) are beautiful to me from a perspective of being a lover of aesthetics/makeup. It is like art to see them because they are dolled up, like the porcelain dolls, it is like feminine/masculine wrapped up into one, I love the juxtaposition of the masculine/feminine in your culture where the men care just as much about their appearance as women. I am learning Korean now and planning on visiting in December. I am excited to be stepping out of my comfort zone of America and exploring different cultures. Question wondering are the actors as humble as they seem? Keep the content flowing, Cheers!

Thank you Dan! For educating us and giving us another output. I have personally worked with a lot of Korean people and they embraced me. I respected them and they honored my hard work. I feel it is how you treat others.

Dany, I liked this video and thanks for sharing information on racism and just generalizing about people. I really wanted to visit Korea but like others, I was saddened to hear so much about racism. I'm American and I understand what it means to experience racism and even so, I don't like lumping everyone into one group. Korean like Americans are not all the same and that came through your message.

Thank you for being transparent and willing to share to help others.

Thanks for your video, Dan! I just moved to Korea from the US to teach English, and your videos have been helping me a lot coming in, giving a lot of good information and shedding light on some things that are more complicated than people (in general) make them out to be. I try to bear that in mind as much as I can, but hearing things clearly stated really helps. Have a great week!

My daughter has been living in Korea for almost 2 yrs. She has had some people sit farther from her on the subway. She has had people shove her aside but mostly she has been safe and people have been kind to her. We recently got back from our first visit. She lives in Bucheon and it’s not common to see foreigners so we were quite the spectacle. 😂 We are so used to seeing all races and nationalities, we didn’t feel out of place but I guess we were? Idk. People were generally nice to us especially older Koreans. They used the English they knew and were proud they knew we we were Americans. We had some of the oldest Koreans offer us seats on crowded subways. We mostly declined but I found it very sweet. We already knew everything you have said in this video. We did find it very safe. I was not uncomfortable out at night alone(my daughters apt was about 4 min walk from where we stayed). Small restaurant owners were super nice. Other than the extreme humidity(we were dripping within 30 seconds of leaving the apartment) it was a really nice experience. I would recommend people learn greetings in Korea, the word for bathroom 😂, and just some general knowledge of the culture. Please let your viewers know that people are the same everywhere. The only difference is the language. But yes, the #1 thing is most don’t look or dress like idols and most Korean people won’t willingly interact with you. The biggest shock for my daughter’s bf when he visited us was that we hold conversations with complete strangers here and also that restaurant employees try to accommodate your every whim.

I' m glad I found this channel. I'm really into kdramas and quite interested in Korean Culture, watching your videos gives me another level of experience I learned a lot thanks Dan. I really wanted to visit Korea one of these days. 🇵🇭

Thank you Dan for your honest portrayal of your country and its people. It is true, no matter where you live, you encounter all types of behavior. The good, the bad is all entwined. I have gotten hooked on Kdramas and I love the culture that, at least is shown in dramas, the respect, courtesy, given toward family members and others. The good side of the citizens. I hope that that is portrayed accurately. This way of life could bring about peace among the people of the world. Ofcourse, I am also aware that no country is without the reality of wrong doing. But I pray that the majority of people love their fellow man. I look forward to your videos.

Really enjoyed this you tube video. Spent 3 months in your country this year. I felt very safe as a solo female traveller but as you quite rightly said you need to be aware of the situations around you . Also I only knew about 10 words of the Korean language but met so many helpful people even though there was a language barrier. I found that a smile works wonders. Thanks once again for a great video.

Dan, love your insightful take on our culture and the misinformation that sometimes run rampant about Korea. You are well informed, fair, and on the money.

This is good. Thank you for clearing up the misconceptions.

Hey 😡 Let me dream and fall in love with my fictional handsome Korean man that stomps on me by mistake and then becomes obsessed with me and chases me no matter what but also respects my boundaries and treats me like a queen 😡 (even tho I’m greek and probably will never meet one😡)

Hi Dan! Thank you for sharing positive reactions about Korea. Every country has its issues, but we should experience visiting a country with objectivity so one may enjoy! I have seen such videos where everything is a negative & just shake my head. I tend to take their reactions with a grain of salt. Hope you are well & your wine bar is too!

Dan, so good to hear you again! I assumed you have been busy with life, you work and business. I hope those are all going well. So glad you get days off! Thank you for taking time to share these things. I appreciate how you invite us to see different perspectives, to understand the complexities. Especially since you have lived abroad and have shared your own story regarding racism. I trust you as you share a little about racism and xenophobia in SK. I live in California, diverse and progressive, and also racist and xenophobic (I know, so odd), and my understanding is that all cultures and places experience this. We all have room to grow. Regarding the myth that everyone in Korea is obsessed with make-up and looks, I think we see that reflected in all countries too. You have taken us with you to modeling gigs and given us tips regarding make-up, skin care and living healthy. Of course it's appropriate that you care about your looks. And being casual is good too. Good luck on your endeavors and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Thank you very much for this in-depth conversation Dan!!

I really like the way you are talking saying facts without biased or generalizing everything and accepting that whenever it happens both sides should work on it thanks for your slow paced tone of voice its insightful and calming even though it pictured a real situation I could prepare to deal with.

In love with the way you tell the information. Unfortunately racism is everywhere. No matter what country you are in. Society needs empathy, an open mind and more knowledge about different cultures. But above all respect for other people. Thanks for this video!❤

I love your videos. I also love Korean culture. Not because i think it’s all rainbows and butterflies but because it’s genuinely a cool culture. I also love the dramas. I have started watching the Josseon era dramas and I love them!! I am also trying to learn the language. My goal is to watch the dramas without subtitles.

I went to South Korea in October/November 2022 with 12 other persons; 10 family members and 2 close friends. We had nothing but positive experiences. One of my daughters who spent 3 weeks in Korea in 2017 told us not to expect any just go with an open mind and she was 100% correct. We visited 3 Asian countries: Singapore, Pattaya City, Thailand and Seoul, South Korea in 2022. Our group of 13 is diverse and we loved all three countries however because I do watch the K-dramas I was looking forward more to Korea and I really loved it. I got lost on the line 5 subway in Seoul and I received so much help and from the older people, the young people all the way until I got back to my hotel. My sister and one of the friends took the subway daily and they said people were very nice and helpful. We did not experience anyone being rude to us so we had a really great experience in all 3 Asian countries and would not think twice to visit all of them again. I also do want to say that I did see some very good looking Guys in the area we stayed at - We were in Gangnam so maybe that is why.

Thank you for your video Danny, I recently started watching your stuff because I spent 3 months in Seoul and having only returned to the UK 1 week ago, it makes me feel closer to your country. I think it's really important to address that, just as you said, generalising a country based on our perception of the media we are exposed, just isn't fair. Movies, series, kpop artists (in KR case) are a product of a lot of people's work, they are polished to make it look really good and to help us escape reality, which is why we love them, and while a lot of things can be based on real life stories, they are still fiction. That being said, there will be things that we do see out there, the restaurant culture, a bit of romance (seriously, at least in Seoul, it's like everyone is programmed to be in a couple :p), generally people care about looking good, which I think it's really refreshing, we should do it for ourselves as well. Another thing, about the "racism" part, personally, me and my friends did not suffer and major discrimination. Yes there are some limitations to what visitor visa only can do and cannot like not being able to register for some online shopping because require ID verification etc, but those things can be overlooked specially if one's stay is short. I think it's something that maybe going forward, the government can improve on. English speakers, I had different experiences with this, as you've said, some people will not engage in conversations because they're too shy or just don't want to go through the trouble of speaking in a different language, this happends everywhere in the world. I'm Portuguese, our population is very educated in the english language and you'll encounter similar situations. On the otherhand, there will be people with probably no ability to speak english who will not hesitate to help a foreigner, they will use hand signs or take us directly to where we need to be. Overall, I had a lovely experience in Seoul and Busan and I hope I can return soon and visit more cities, to see each nuance and learn more about the culture. P.s: sorry for the essay xD

Glad to see you are a humble person....levelheaded.....down to earth and sincere...in outlook and opinions. Thanking you for putting the picture staight so people .

Dan, Thank you for your transparency. It was a forthright presentation.

My dear friend is a Korean and married to our Iranian friend with kids. And her family are always warm and welcoming to me. 💖 I’ve never been to Korea, but want to visit one day. I look forward to hearing more on the racism topic, it will really help build confidence.

Omg thank you so much Danny! I would like to share around this meaningful video you posted because you are right about everything. People have to be aware of this because globally there will be people who accustomed to stereotyping anyone in General, Be it you are Chinese, Korean, filipino, etc etc. I am so glad that finally there is someone who did a post on this. That is why you are worth subscribing to! New subscriber here.. been a few days and i respect the fact that you post with honesty and sincerity.

Hi!! Thank you so much for addressing the thing that foreigners may misunderstand!! I'm Iranian and also student the next semester I'm gonna be graduated from University so I think of studying master in SK. For sure I googled about every single aspects of living in SK including academic, economical to social atmosphere but I heard so many heartbreaking memories of people of different ethnicities which broke my heart into pieces. At this stage I tried to search more and consulted my seniors however they shared almost the same stories. Absolutely they had amazing memories too and also they met sweet nice people BUT they faced so many bad things too!! I personally believe that the problem is that colorism and racism become unshamed in SK of course many people do it because they are not educated but this sad story should end somewhere!!!! There is NO AREA that is facing with such things but we have to love and respect each other to live happily together ❤️ Sadly I'm not gonna think about studying master in SK

You are so friendly and humble. Thanks for sharing some information about Korea, I hope to visit sometime.

Thank you so much for your extremely helpful video. I am an old person who is visiting Korea next year with my middle aged son. I know we shall probably attract some curiosity because of the way we look (we already do so in England our own country) but we are learning basic Hangul so we may be able to interact with many Koreans and be more comfortable. We hope to experience and appreciate the different culture of the country as we plan to visit several regions.

😆 “don’t spill coffee on purpose” love it - so true. I know my friends in Korea would 100% agree with you as well; Korea has so many great things but it is a diverse country full of individuals with many unique characteristics, preferences and lifestyles. This was a great video Danny, thanks for sharing your perspective. P.s. sorry to hear you get so much negativity in your dms 😕 grateful for your honesty and thoughtfulness though ❤️

I randomly came across your video and I just have to comment about what you said on how people don’t pick up the social issues and the dark side of Korea in kdramas and focus on the lovey stuff. Very true! Almost every kdrama I’ve seen, there is always a latent backstory on the social injustices that happen in Korea that foreigners don’t seem to pick up cause all the seem to care about are good looking actors

Thank you for this vid. Much appreciated. Sub just because of the truthfulness of this. Love from uk 🇬🇧

Thanks so much for this kind of topic to discuss. As much as I like ALL kinds of music, I appreciate the Korea Artists for their never ending amazing talents. I am planning to visit South Korea but not because of K dramas or K-Pop as many want to do. It has been on my bucket list to visit for a long time now and Covid put a kink into those plans for awhile, but I want to explore and experience the culture and history on a more personal level. I hope to meet a lot of nice, and interesting people along my journey to make my experience that much more memorable I don’t believe that anyone country is 100% safe. There is always another side to the calm peaceful life that everyone longs for, that is just reality. I am glad you did address these questions for others planning to visit as there is so much miss guidance on the internet. Keeping it real is so refreshing!

I had a wonderful time when I went to Korea. I wasn't fluent in the language but I knew enough to get by. The people were lovely. I was very respectful to them and I received the same in return. It's a beautiful country and the history is amazing. I was a 40 year old female at the time and I never felt fearful, but I wasn't foolish either. I'm 67 now. Would I go back, definitely. Stay healthy, happy and safe always

Really great videos and good that you address this thing and does it in a very good way. It’s both interesting and educational it’s always new things to learn🙂

Thank you so much for all the informations you gave us ! Definitely looking forward to visit South Korea for sure ❤

Very nice and interesting video. Your English is excellent, BTW. And thank you for making a positive, constructive video that helps the different communities value and understand each other. Some other people aren't as "neutral" and friendly when talking about Korea. I'm glad you and some others are.

Nice informative video, Danny. Always good to get your personal POV. Thanks for that. Now retired but some time ago I spent a few years doing business with UK based Koreans who worked for the UK division of a large Seoul corporation Always polite and helpful those people gave me a positive view of the nation that I still hold today. Talented in so many ways, Korea has become a positive world influence in business and entertainment. Something certainly to be proud of but like all countries, there is always room to do things better. Wishing you continued success and happiness. D

Thank you Dan for your awesome explanation😊

This was actually well done and informative. 😁. Thank you!

I’m fr a tiny island in the South Pacific n can relate to all the concerns n issues u face there in Korea. The important thing is you are addressing them however difficult they may be talking about it informs others about racism, K-pop culture, Korean culture or whatever it may be n hopefully shed some light n bring some understanding. I’m very proud of u young man to do this because if u don’t speak up then people will believe whatever they hear n see in social media. Keep up the good work!

I am enjoying your videos really. You are bridge between the korean culture or mindset, and a foreigner mindset. I always say to my friends that i don't like only reading articles, books about a culture, bec it's not give to you that clearly sometime. I more like watching someone like you, cuz you can know a country the best if you asking, and listening the people who lives there. They are the most reliable source. Thank you for the video ❤️

I've been learning Korean for 1.5 years and I know at least a few words. My daughter, her best friend and I were in Korea for 3 weeks, 1 week round trip and 2 weeks in Seoul. No matter where we were and what people we met, they were friendly and very helpful. We traveled a lot and saw a lot of culture and landscape. We were neither afraid, not even at night, nor did we experience racism and the like. We got along very well with English and some Korean words. It's true, people are very shy and it takes time to start a conversation. We had a guide for the round trip, so it wasn't a problem at all. We respect the culture and mentality of other countries. Everyone should inform themselves about this beforehand and behave accordingly. We will definitely travel to Korea again as there is still so much to see.💜☮️💟☯️

This was a good educational video. I do think Americans can think Korea is like KDramas, and it was good to hear that people are diverse and similar everywhere!

Thank you for this video. I am planning a trip there and this really helped out a lot!

This is a wonderfully thoughtful video. Thank you for speaking about these topics so frankly and kindly. One thing I notice about humans, in general, is that the rush of the brain (as an organ) to categorize and store data can lead to over-generalizations and great misunderstandings. For anyone to think that everyone in a country, culture, community, family-or, even the same person on different days!-will somehow present some kind of linear uniformity is hard to comprehend. AND... we do it all the time, to greater and lesser consequence. I have to thank KZread for recommending your channel to me. Most of their recommendations make very little sense to me, but this one was excellent! I have subscribed!

My boyfriend is Korean and I always verify every single stereotype or assumption with him, turns out the view on Korean people that is made through dramas and K-pop artists are not always the realest. Nevertheless, Korean people are amazing, I can sincerely say that they are incredibly polite, at least the people I had the pleasure to meet :)

I am a 76 year old white Stateside woman. Covid in 2020 brought me to KZread and I discovered there is so much more here than old MTV videos. First I started following people who actually own cats...not the silly compilations, and that led me to K-pop. And like the rest of the things I watch here, the title of this vlog brought to watch it. 1. I truly believe more USA teens love K-pop than Koreans. By really studying Stray Kids and TXT, I have learned that a lot of them never even thought of being an Idol but got into it one way or another. But once in, they are to be admired for their work ethic and passion. BTW, none of the people I follow in the cat world are into K-pop! 2. And life in the USA is not like a soap opera! Also, you are not going to get a miracle cure in our hospitals, like on TV...etc 3. I have not seen these arguments online, but it is not 100% safe in any country. Always 'buddy up' esp at night. 4. Speaking of SKZ and TXT, they talk about their home towns and how nice it is to get away from Seoul! Most cat people do not live in Seoul. Same goes for Japan/Tokyo. Or USA and NYC or California. I live in Michigan. And much like Northern Statesiders tease Southerners for their accent, so the same teasing goes in Korea. 5. I would love to visit Korea for the mountains and the countryside and museums and art galleries. But I have always wondered what I would eat! I cannot stomach spicy foods. Nor could I eat as much per day, as I see Korean families eat. 6. Some cat people are concerned with their appearance, but most aren't. As a matter-of-fact, there is a petition going around online...STOP WHITE-WASHING HWANG HYUNJIN! USA esp loves the natural color of his skin. 7. I find many Koreans who do not speak English. Esp not read it. Most everyone I follow pays a translator for the Eng subs. I have always felt that Statesiders are very snobbish like that. We expect the whole world to speak Eng. When I was visiting England in 1967, I did everything I could, so as not to be an 'ugly American.' Sign gestures and patience and smiles will get you through any country! 8. If you have any foreign accent or look, there are Statesiders who sure want to hook up! I think that is the same everywhere. 9. A vet mentioned that one penguin left her mate for another penguin. She said, "I thought Tux was better looking than Oreo, myself, but then I'm not a penguin." We all fall in love for different reasons (hopefully the right ones) and 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.' On the other hand, I cannot believe the amount of selfies K-pop stars take of themselves! Oh, my! Beomgyu spend 10 minutes fiddling with a few hairs on his bangs until I wanted to scream and I think someone finally mentioned it in the vlog. 10. Racism is so blatant in the USA. People who are 3rd or 4th generation Statesiders but look Asian are being beaten up and killed because of Covid! Racism is everywhere. Korea does not have a market on that area. You seem like a nice person and I hope you are. I judge people by their actions, not their looks. Am I rare or just old?

In Korea because people are not well versed on the subject they don’t necessarily say the right things, but racial attacks by Koreans are few and far between. You’re far safer in Korea.

I live in the USA and got rid of my television in 2003 because there were so many commercials I forgot what I was watching. I found K-dramas just this year and I’m totally delighted! Whether its due to censorship, great writers, or your culture k-dramas present a different perspective on life that I truly appreciate. I’m very grateful to the Korean film industry for entering the world stage and putting enjoyable entertainment back into my life. Thank you!

I started watching kdrama on a whim recently and really liked the stories, plots, acting, and the unique Korean cultural aspects that is written into the plots. That inspired me to look into musix (not just kpop lol), art, food (i love to cook new recipes), and now im interested in learning the language. I can see how people can be unrealistic with things definitely and your video is really awesome and down to earth. The internet is turning into a fascinating alternate reality for people to escape to so i like the reality checks.😂

Thank you for this video, it’s very refreshing. I’m looking forward to visiting Korea in the future 😊

This was well made, thanks. The world is getting smaller and the more we can understand and appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities, the better! Like many americans I became interested in Korea a few years ago because of BTS, but have grown to appreciate the wonderful things that I have seen in the culture, such as politeness, interpersonal warmth, humor, creativity, high standards. But I acknowledge the problematic areas as well (which are by no means limited to Korea) such as women's equality and limited opportunities, boomer excesses and unrealistic expectations for younger people, and the societal pressures that lead to such a high suicide rate. It seems like a fascinating country, rich in history and a unique culture, and like everywhere humans are humans and we all just keep trying to improve. Thanks, I'll be happy to subscribe and see what else I can learn.

Hello, Dan. I always enjoy everything about your videos, including your voice and diction. Your topics are always well chosen and presented thoughtfully. I usually watch your videos more than once so that after the first time I can focus on details other than the content. My trips to Korea have all been for business, so I always have had very constructively positive experiences as a guest. Although I am far outside the intended demographic for KPop and KDrama, later in my life one of my Korean friends exposed me to them. Now I am a fan who watches them, and more generally Korean movies and TV shows, every week on the web. BTW, I hope your wine bar is doing well, and also your life overall. Fond regards, --Doug

So soothing and inspiring to learn so much about the korean culture. Hope to visit someday.

Your skin is amazing, I really appreciate your honesty, well done!

I'd love to see your thoughts about the beauty standards, it's all very confusing. There are multiple cases where people were bullied because they were too "fat", then bullied again because they were too thin. This is probably a broad topic but it would still be nice to know your perception of that.

Thanks for this topic. K-pop dramas actually made me want visit Korea one day. But I believe Korea has made an impact worldwide because they are everywhere, not only the people but mostly quality and reliable products that are Korean made.

I found your video to be a mature and informative presentation on the Korean culture. I am looking forward to viewing past and future videos.

Thank you for this video! You made so many comments that are 100% accurate. I appreciate your honesty about certain issues. I definitely will look for more content from you. Wishing you peace, health and happiness. 🥰💜

Thanks for this and your approach and honesty. Truly no country can say they are not racist. I have friends who say they are not racist but actions speak louder than words. This racism issue will always be around...these days most people pretend not to be racist.

I think 18gain was the kdrama i really felt that i learnt about basic Korean culture. I think Koreans are practical, living their own lives and they are accepting to different cultures but to a certain level.
