    Thank you for sharing this. It's scary how this can happen to anyone. Very scared about the food, free gifts doesn't equal having to obey the people, however food is often used as a weapon... I am so sorry that people teach this about 'if someone give you a gift you have to do as they say'. I wish both speakers all the best, I too almost got trapped in a cult too.

    this is actually a mindblowing experience and in a very bad way. I've heard about this stuff, but didn't expect it would be that common and scary. thank you so much for doing this video, I hope it will really help a lot of people who are going to Korea ❤ P.S. now I'm kinda sad, because my hopes for meeting friends are down to zero, because I'm so shy I won't approach people first, and those who will.. are more likely people from some kind of cult. gosh 😂 P.P.S. Everyone, stay safe and have a happy time in Korea. And thanks again for the video!

    This doesn’t happen in Korea only. Haven’t you heard of the many cults in Europe and North America? 🤦🏻‍♀️

    @@beot-kkot What has that got to do with my question? This video is about cults in Korea and so is my question. Why do people always drag other countries into everything? "But they also do it in America" being the usual one 🙄 like that would somehow justify or explain it. And no, I've never run into any cults or met anybody who ever came into contact with cults, never heard of cults in my country and I've vaguely heard of their existence in the world (like Japan's subway incident) but they're more like the yeti/bigfoot, people have heard about them but never actually seen. I've also never been warned about cults traveling to other countries than Korea; pickpockets and scammers yes, cults no. I would expect developed, intelligent Korea to not be involved in hooey woo woo nonsense but for some reason cults seem prevalent, which is interesting.

    @@anna8282 Maybe you misunderstood: I did not drag other countries in and I certainly did not justify this crazy stuff. So, don’t you dare to speak for me. All I can say is that it has not been my experience in my eight years as a permanent resident here. As a matter of fact, I have never encountered this kind of situation in any of the (six) countries from (three) different continents in which I have lived, nor the many others I have visited, so far. You seemed very surprised, asking why this is so common in Korea and even counter replied, doubting that it happens elsewhere. You sounded biased and I answered accordingly. Open your eyes and do some research on cults in Australia, North and South America, Europe… In the UK alone, there are 2,000 active cults. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Evangelism is not synonymous with a cult.

    It seems you can't differentiate between cult and religion.
