Yeah we need to normalize that kind of call out culture being cringe and wrong... This whole cultural appropriation or you're not respecting someone's culture has just gone away too far... If someone is obviously hating on someone's culture, or being racist, you will notice.. It will be literally hateful and look at someone as lesser. Now people just want a virtue signal and a lot of looks like a good person, and it's honestly making a lot of people just afraid to get out in the world and talk, because they're afraid they'll get filmed and cancel. Group think is causing so much damage

ppl wanna play savior so bad 💀💀 he’s a grown man he don’t need randos to help him

For some reason in the past few years it seems to have become a huge thing for people to get offended on other peoples behalf and then try to "correct" the person they assumed offended someone. Don't get me wrong I get it if what the person said was massively racist, sexist, discrimination or stuff like that then yes that person needs to be put in their place and corrected. But I'd say about 95% of the time it's over silly little petty things because some people have a weird savior complex like you said it also doesn't seem to help that not many people can seem to keep their noses out of other people's lifes/problems and also a hell of a lot of people just seem to have opinions on every single little tiny thing these days and feel like they constantly have to share it and tell people when in reality they should have just kept their opinions to themselves especially more so because quite a lot of them wouldn't have the actual bottle to say it to someones face but because they're on the internet it's as if they get braver and a lot of people seem to assume that there won't be actual consequences for the things they say online the next time that they see the person face to face just because they wouldn't say anything to the persons face doesn't mean that the next time they see that person that the person won't say anything to them or possibly even hit them because I've seen/read some disgusting things that people have typed on the internet and it seems to be getting more and more common unfortunately it's as if the feel safe and invincible because they're hiding behind a screen if you get what I mean I hope that this actually makes sense to you because I'm really badly dyslexic so I've tried my best to explain and put in to words/type what I wanted to say and autocorrect and predictive text can be a huge help with that but unfortunately sometimes they just make things more difficult so I really hope that this all makes sense to you also sorry about how long this comment is I've just realised how much I've actually typed and how long it is so I'm really sorry about that

as a korean american i feel the exact same way😭 if it’s not close friends or family, random people knowing or saying my name is really rare LMAO

I like how you shut them down ❤

this! I have an english “public” and tibetan “home” name as well. It’s be super weird if someone used my home name

Same, I don't know why people are pressed! Like most aren't using your real name on this platform so some of y'all are big hypocrites.

I actually relate so much. I don’t tell people my korean name (unless they ask) and even then does my family call me by my korean name quite rarely

Not sure if it's also a common thought but, I would also always introduce myself through my english name just bc i couldnt handle the thought of somebody butchering the pronunciation of my name (ifykyk)

I'm not surprised because my name is literally English it's Georgina and the amount of teachers, medical professionals and others that have somehow managed to completely butcher my name so I don't blame you for not even wanting people to even attempt to pronounce your not English name

People really get crazy I mean getting mad about name Respect opinions people

nah girl don’t stress about this people on the internet are too sensitive

I have an English name too I don’t like it when people call me by my real name in my native language. Only my parents call me that

i definitely understand you- growing up with an english name and a chinese one if i heard people other than close family or people i’m close with call me that would feel odd. u do u, because you know what you’re talking about unlike those who get offended over anything.

I feel like the only people complaining are not Asians. I mean, if you apply that thinking to a Thai would you really have the energy to memorize all their name? This is my experience and I have some Thai friends and as well as Koreans, they prefer English name to non Koreans because they know you'll butcher their names aside from the legal aspect of what Lily just said.

same and i HATE when ppl think they can call me my real name when they find out like no you may not thnx

if someone besides my friends or family called my by my korean name like in a serious tone i would have straight up left the room

Being a Chinese American, I also have a Chinese name but never use it. If anyone were to call me by that name, I would never respond since I never use it. I think it's like you said, whatever the person tells you to go with is the name they prefer you to call them so go with it.

This might sound stupid but because you have an English and a Chinese name dose your family call you by your full Chinese name when you're in trouble because I never get my proper full first name but I know if my family uses my full first name that I'm in a little bit of trouble but if I get my full first name and both of middle names I'm in quite a bit of trouble but if I get my full first name and both of my middle names and my last name I know sh*t is about to hit the fan and I'm in real big trouble so I was just wondering if you get called your full Chinese name by your family does that mean that you're in real big trouble I hope that this comment actually makes sense to you because I'm really badly dyslexic and have tried my best to explain it the best that I can with the help of autocorrect and predictive text so I at least hope that everything is spelt properly haha 🤔😂

honestly when i saw the video i was already under the impression that he was included in it because he wanted to be assigned an english name, so calling him by the english name that was chosen for him was gonna be a given (and he really DOES look like a kevin lol). separately though, i love that you asked for (and received!!!!) his permission to bring up his korean name as well as his IG handle. we stan consent 💕

Isn’t that some Asians use an English name or nickname when interacting with foreigners? The same way foreigners living/studying in Asian countries sometimes come up with their nicknames respectively to the country they’re in. A lot of people I met that were studying in China had Chinese names made up by their colleagues or friends (it usually was a combination of characters that sounded similar to their real name), so it would be easier to communicate.

I've been wondering which makeup artist name Kevin she meant so it was that Kevin from my favorite Korean cosmetics brand HERA.

Same way I feel about my legal name-people that aren’t close to me don’t call me that so it’s weird

honestly it’s really not a big deal, nowadays you can’t do anyth on social media without people getting pressed…just keep doing you and do what you think is right. also ur makeup looks great hehe❤

Why do they need to justify anyone else before fact checking, istg people are butthurt over anything.. my friends from China usually have English name, not because they are ashamed or disrespecting parents/such but because they feel it is easier for them to introduce themselves with non-native speaker (since their real name is so hard to pronounce and they will likely confused) and they got to create their prefered name outside China. Jeez calm down -_-

You are so cute!! Also, it is no one's business. If someone goes by something, let them be called that. My name is Samantha, but I go by Sami. Fight me. Seriously, it's not anyone else's business.

Why are they trying to educate you when they aren’t even Korean? I find it super weird when others try educating people on their own culture.

Tell Kevin, respectfully, he is hot ❤

For everyone who cares about political correctness: it’s even less respectful when you cannot pronounce exotic names correctly so go by the name people tell you too

Ppl these days really need to chill... It feels like they're constantly looking for opportunities for virtue signalling 😢😢 If the guy involved isn't offended u shud not be either

Lol

bet those ppl are koreaboos lol

I dont think people can pronounce non english names correctly anyway. English speakers cant even pronounce spanish names right.

My name is English and I've lost track of how many times its been butcherd by people or at least I've always been told that Georgina is an English name and it's not even hard to produce so I don't get how people butcher it so badly honestly it has amazed me the ways that some people have produce it so bad that I didn't even realise that they were trying to say my name

im not sure why you're having to explain yourself, nor apologize if they really like a culture they would know korean names are usually for close friends/family. they're getting pressed on the persons behalf yet the person themselves isnt even mad 🤦🏻‍♀️. you're good! you're doing great just people are weird 😂😂

People just seem to love to get offended for other people these days for some reason even if the original person isn't offended. I've literally seen some argue with someone else because they got offended for then and the person told them that they weren't bothered and there was no need to be offended for them so they started to argue with them telling them why they were wrong and they're either lying about not being offended or if they really aren't offended then they should be and started listing off reasons while the other person just kept saying that they weren't offended and it didn't matter and the other person wouldn't give up trying to tell them why they should be offended it was so ridiculous and stupid I hope that this actually makes sense to you because I'm really badly dyslexic so I've tried my best to explain it as best as I can

People will respect a they/them but won’t respect what name someone wants to go by. If he wants to go by Kevin, then call him Kevin.
