My daughter went to Korean school and when they heard her speak Korean, the elders were very taken in by her. They loved working with her when it came to traditional korean inki and brush writing. The elderly women would argue with each other on who was going to be her teacher for the day. When she went in to be tested in her language skills, she thought she was a beginner but she tested as an advanced student, Where did she learn the language? She learned from dramas and she learned Hangul writing from her Tae kwon do Masters and their parents. She is a 3rd degree black belt, working on becoming a master herself.

I obviously cant talk from my own personal experience but I went with my friend to Korea back in 2021 for 6 weeks and she's black and she had no issues really when she was there! the only thing was a couple of nightclubs didn't let her in but there are plenty that are supper friendly to everyone! I'm aware visiting for 6 weeks isn't a huge amount of time but hope this helps!

@@Snowingslow-k._.I’ve spent about 7 weeks total in Korea over 3 separate trips, just got back from my last one last week. I’m a Southeast Asian, deeply tanned girl. If you’re asking if there’s colorism, I am gonna have to say yes. Definitely more than I ever experienced in neighbouring Japan or Taiwan. It’s not quite overt for the most part, but I’ve had a few unpleasant run-ins that I could have done without.

Eating in Korea was interesting sometimes. Especially the older people in the restaurants smiled and watched me eating when I was happy with the food I had 😄

I went to korean restaurants (in Germany) and they're usually run by families too and the elders were always very warm and happy. I love it so much. Last time this grandpa gave me a thumbs up at my flushed cheeks bc I drank Soju that night😂

I lived in Seoul for a few months in 1997-1998, playing with a singer named Lee Seung Hwan. We did a tour, which was actually in Seoul except for one or two shows. I really enjoyed meeting the Korean people. I guess that would be "old" music today. I loved the food. Seung Hwan and our other hosts would take us to American restaurants at first, but we told them we always ate Korean food when we were out on our own, they started to take us to Korean restaurants that they liked. I think it is exactly as you said--that they were afraid we would not like Korean food. But most Americans from larger cities are familiar with all types of Asian food, and enjoy eating the authentic versions when traveling!! Good luck with your channel.

Dan, I think you shared a lot of great tips for people not just visiting Korea but interacting with Korean-Americans in the USA. I have been married to a beautiful Korean lady for 48 years and even lived in Korea for 5 years. I enjoy good Gugak (Song So-hee in particular) and Trot music. While I can't eat the strong spicy food there is plenty I like. Before I ever went to Korea for the first time I studied the history and traditions and also the concepts and ideas of Confucianism because I was informed that if you understand that I would understand much about Korean society.

I am looking forward to my first trip to Korea next month, and I really enjoy your gentle tips for visitors. You are such a gentleman, in the truest sense of the word. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. You are a wonderful ambassador for your country and people.

New to your channel! Congrats on the 100k subscribers! I think 1) respecting your elders and 2) respecting the culture of the country you're visiting should be common courtesy. I'd love to try some Korean food when I visit, but as much as I like a little spice, I can't handle the real spicy food. I love Korea, when I watch any historical dramas of the Joseon Dynasty or early 1920s-1930s, I always research later because I want to understand how much of the drama was based on true historical facts and this way I learn more about the history of your country. I love learning about other cultures, languages and food and comparing to see the similarities as well as the differences in our cultures.

I agree with you on how one should always show respect to elders...but want to add that respect should always be shown to others, no matter the age. And I am the same as you, I love researching historical facts while watching historical dramas. I feel immensely thankful for the chance to get a window to other contries traditions and history via the internet. (When I was growing up (I am 67), one had to go to the library to search from the limited supply of books on various matters. BTW, I love kimchi, korean chicken and more.....hmmm, and mageolli ☺

​@@linda.s.gisladTotally agree that respect should be given to anyone regardless of age. I'm also 67, well until September. I'm grateful for the internet that we have so much information at our fingertips. I'm Greek American living in Greece, though I've gotten used to the metric system, I'll say google helped especially at converting recipes. You can search anything...my phone had a problem and I found the answer online. I bought a bread maker here that had various languages but didn't have English, so I searched and found the English instruction manual. Going to the library was fun because I loved reading, but of course had limits.

Danny, you are an amazing person. I've recently gotten hooked onto K-Dramas and Chinese dramas. I have many Korean friends here in California who've shared their favorite local dishes with me that I've grown to love. I'm Hawaiian, Chinese and Portuguese. Being from Hawai'i, I grew up eating all types of Kimchi and can't get enough of it. This segment is my first introduction to your channel. I believe that everyone should respect and honor people of all cultures, especially our elders. I've learned many basic words and phrases, and my friends enjoy me using them. Mahalo plenty for sharing your information with us.🌺🤙❤️

I only watch k dramas as well. My entire family thinks I'm so weird. I'm Irish and Cherokee Indian mostly. I love the fact that the families stay together and help each other. They certainly don't do that in the U.S.!

congratulations on 100k. I feel as part of one's language learning, it's so important to learn about the culture. I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to knowledge and I like learning how things came about too. I hope that people become more respectful towards people and their culture. Let's all respect and support each other because at the end of the day we live on the same planet but live differently.

You deserve having all those subscribers Dan. Congratulations!

Congratulations Danny on 100,000subscribers!! You are so great at what you do, and I, for one really look forward to your content! I think when I was in Korea, I tried to do a lot of the things you suggest. I did not learn any old songs or take great photos! However, many Korean locals would offer to take our pictures and that was great! And I’m in love with food! No problem there! A good topic!❤❤

I am so happy I found your channel! I've subscribed. I am a huge fan of K-dramas, and have always been impressed with the culture, especially the respect that is shown. I am 72 and wished I had a better memory, so I could learn more of the language, while watching the shows. I do recognize many phrases when they are spoken though, which makes me happy. Thank you for having such a wonderful channel, especially for K-drama lovers like myself.

Please make a part 2 of this video . I want to learn about the physical aspect of this subject. Controversial is fun 😊

Hope you make more about Korea🙌Love it🙏Thank you for all this information.

Good to see you posting more. I was there in 2017 and was already in to Korean culture. I was there to see the historical places first. Those I spoketo where very impressed of my knowledge and being in awe of the historical places. It really s incredible being in places you see in historical dramas. Knowing its been around for hundreds of years. Love kpop but still cant get into the older music though!

Your videos are beneficial; thank you for taking the time to research and post them. I agree; taking the time to research and understand the culture and people does help, as well as learning simple words and phrases. Korea is such a beautiful country, and I'm thankful I was able to experience it firsthand six months ago. Everyone I met while I was there was kind and helpful. I felt safe everywhere I went especially since I took a solo trip. However, I will admit two weeks is definitely not long enough to visit, so my next planned trip will be longer. I look forward to when that happens. Also congrats on reaching 100K subscribers!

Thank you for this post!

What a fabulous video reallly loved it. Hello from London keep up the good work

Ohhh! I just discover your channel, Dan, and thank you very much for this soooo useful video!

Thanks again, and hugs from France 🇫🇷 !

Congratulations Dan!!! I enjoyed this video. I can relate to most of the things you have mentioned they are also on my list. Thank you ❣️🇺🇸

Dan, 안녕하세요. I wanted to say thank you for your time and effort in making these videos. I am traveling to Seoul for the first time this year with my bff, and your videos have been going a long way in helping me prepare and put my mind at ease. Through my friend, and favorite group, I have been learning alot about Korean people, culture, food, and beauty, and it's been incredible 🥰. So thank you once again, and I look forward to more content. Also congrats on over 100K subscribers!

My wife and I are planning to go to Korea in Jan / 25. She is a massive Fan of K-dramas, and recognizes many of the actors already. So now it's my job to.learn as many Korean norms, culture and language to get there and not commit social faux pas. Gotta watch all your videos, mate!

Hi Dan, I trust this message finds you in good spirits. Congratulations on crossing 100,000 subscribers 🎉🎊 I wanted to take a moment to express my recent fascination with the captivating portrayal of Korean culture in Kdramas. Despite their fictional nature, these dramas consistently highlight values of decency and integrity, often in contrast to certain depictions in Western movies. The characters in Kdramas frequently embody admirable morals and principles, making the viewing experience truly enriching and inspiring for me. I dream of visiting Korea one day to fully immerse myself in its rich culture, witness its stunning beauty firsthand, and indulge in its delicious cuisine. Your videos are not only highly informative but also a source of joy for me, particularly with your eloquent English and remarkable accent. Keep up the fantastic work!😊

Just another great video from Dan. Can’t wait until I visit my favourite country (Korea) at the end of this month for the 4th time ! Thank you so much Dan for all your insights in to life in Korea.

Congratulations and 100,000 subscribers I’m happy for you 🫶🏻 you rock 😉💕

My first video from you, and I find it really informative 🙂 I like to learn about cultures in other countries 🙂

New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've been in love with culture my entire life and I hope to save up and visit Korea and Japan in a few years and have been trying to find hands-on, trustworthy sources to learn not just the language, but the culture as well as while I think I've got a good grasp of the basics, I'm still woefully ignorant of a lot of the nuances. I appreciate the honesty you bring to your videos and the boundaries you place and I hope to use the knowledge I learn from you, and other generous creators to fully enjoy my, eventual, experience in Korea. It's been such a fun journey so far to learn all there is to learn and I very much look forward to more informational, and fun, videos from you. Your work and your dedication is appreciated.

Hi Dan, thank you so much for the videos. You inspired me to visit Incheon a few weeks ago where some lovely things happened. I went to have lunch near Jayu Park and was enjoying a hangover soup in a restaurant. Halfway through my meal, an Ajumma, who I hadn't spoken to at all, decided to pay for my lunch! Now that I've seen your video (1st point) I think I know why she paid for my meal. The other nice thing was when I was looking at the Tri-bowl, another Ajumma who worked at the Tourist centre started chatting and she took me out for dinner too! Incheon is definitely a place to visit. Thank you for all the travel tips Dan 🙂

So happy to have found your channel. I'm a new subscriber right now. Thanks for especially nice information. 😊

I had the trip of a lifetime visiting Korea over the past two weeks. Thank you for your tips and insight which helped me make the most of my trip 🤝

Congratulations on 100k subscribers,that’s awesome! I love to eat and I always enjoy trying different foods. Every time I travel I always like to 0:06 try the special food of that country. I like to learn a few words too! I always ask how do I say this when I travel to a different country, breaks the ice and people are friendly if you try to say at a couple of words in their language. I loved this video! Thanks

Congratulations on your milestone! 🎉 And thanks the tips. I am visiting Korea in September.

100k subscribers, is well deserved. Korean food is flying off the shelves at Trader Joe’s. I have the short ribs but need the fried kimchi rice and Tteokbokki to complete my menu. It is a fun thing to do and of course many thanks to you for sparking this interest. Keep up the good work.

Hi Danny. Thanks so much for this video. I am so glad I found you! You are adorable and clearly embody Korean principles. I love the things you shared and as you mentioned, many are true of other cultures as well. I have only met a few Korean people in person and I love that you are a “real” local Korean that I can learn from. 😄 I love watching Kdramas (that I discovered about 10 years ago) and I would like to visit there someday. Since you asked, I would love to hear everything about both Korean traditions and current living. Also everything about favorite foods. I am also really interested in family folk music and songs that little kids learn growing up from toddler through grade school. I know K-pop groups are becoming very popular also. Take care and thanks again. I will subscribe right now and I look forward to seeing more of your videos! 👍

That was a cute video. Thank you. ❤

This was a beautiful video! I have such affection for Korea and Koreans. All these little tips made me feel as though I was given permission to feel the way I do! During a time when love and admiration of another culture can be considered cultural appropriation and angrily looked down upon, it’s heartwarming to know that many Koreans understand and may even approve of foreigners who have great respect and adoration for their culture, and feel blessed to be able to take part in some of their traditions, foods and language. I think it’s another way of spreading the love!

I just thought I’d thank you for your KZread content. I have always been curious about Korea. I’m almost 60 years old and I just love learning new things. You’re never too old to learn unless you chose not to. I intend to keep on learning as long as I breathe. Again, thank you for all the information you provide. And, you also gained a new subscriber and I hope to learn more in the future.

Wise points to think over. They can also apply to other countries and other cultures！ Just be respecting, caring and sweet to any nice people anywhere on this planet and you may make easier connections.

Your tips are welcomed and make so much sense. Showing respect for the country and culture you are visiting makes traveling so much more enjoyable.
