Before I start I want to say that this video is based on my own experiences in the last 5 years in Korea
Obviously, I have to generalize and I can't say that all Koreans act the same
Korea gave me a lot of opportunities, I already made tons of videos saying how much I love Korea
I thought it would be nice to also tell you guys what I dislike about this country
There's not such a thing like "the perfect country" I just want to share with you what I find a bit bothering
I'll start with the small and funny issues since, as you know, I make mostly funny videos
But I'll also cover serious topics
So don't take this video as a hate video, I wouldn't live in Korea if I hated this country
That said, let's start this video!
The first thing that comes to my mind is probably the most stupid one, so we can have a light start
Wait, no. It really bothers me
I'm talking about the fact that in Korea people won't hold the door open for you. Let me be more specific
In Italy, if we have a door, or any kind of obstacle on our way that we have to get rid of
If there's someone behind me, even if he's not right behind me smelling my butt
I hold the door open for him, I don't slam it on his face
In Korea, for some mysterious reason I still haven't fully understood
They open the door and they don't check who's behind them. Basically, they slam the door on your face
I spent 21 years of my life with people who held doors open for me so, even if I came here 5 years ago
I keep forgetting about it and I get a door slammed in my face on a daily basis
But I still hold the door open for other people and everyone is always shocked like
"What does he want from me?" Girls 100% think that I want to hit on them
Their face is not a "thank you" face is more like a "I'm not gonna sleep with you" kind of face
Don't worry I have no interest in you, girl! Get away from me!
Here's the next topic. You already know it if you have watched my last video
I'm talking about ahjummas (old women). Not the general ahjummas though
A lot of ahjummas are really kind and lovely. They also remind us every day how handsome we look
Lovely. For some evil reason though, when they enter the subway station, they transform and become demons
The reason is still unknown but what I do know is that they scare and annoy me at the same time more than anything else
They're much more terrifying than that North Korean idiot that wants to bomb us every day
Ahjummas can really kick his ass!
The first phase of the transformation is the search for a place to sit
She HAS to sit down! No matter what it takes!
She's able to push up to 600 people in the blink of an eye to get that seat
When she finds her seat, she starts opening her path by pushing and throwing away a lot of innocent people
And if she doesn't get what she wants she won't give up for sure
She will stand in front of the seat, staring at the poor victim, full of hate.
She stares at you like you slaughtered her kitty the day before
Like this
Eventually, you will have a panic attack and stand up so they can sit down. And they win. They always do.
You can deal with it when you take the subway when it's not too crowded
But there are 2 moments during the day called 출근시간 and 퇴근시간, when they start and finish work
Seoul is a megalopolis so during those times the subways are EXTREMELY crowded
You can't move and you feel like canned tuna
When the subways are full, ajummas become even more evil so...what am I suppose to do?!
You're already there trying to deal with the people while you're stuck between a boob and a navel
And ajummas keep pushing you...It really drives you crazy!
Another pretty annoying thing is "mouthly sound"...how do you call them? Mouth sounds!
Let me explain, don't be mischievous
Wait, there's nothing wrong about what I just said...am I mischievous?
When Koreans eat, they have this thing like... they eat loudly... I don't know how to explain it
For example, when you drink soup
Or when you eat spaghetti
Everything's clear now, right?
When you make those sounds it means that you're enjoying your food
I was always taught not to make those sounds so they kind of irritate me
So when I'm at the restaurant and I'm all happy trying to eat my food and the person next to me is like
I loose all my appetite and I can't start eating till the person next to me is done
This is not even the worst part. The "mouth sounds" also includes spitting
If any Korean is watching this video, can you please explain to me why do you spit on the ground so often?
You can see a lot of Koreans spitting on the ground while you're walking in the streets of Seoul
It's like a grapeshot...You're hearing the beautiful sound of a bird and the next second someone is spitting
Also, when you go to public restrooms it's really the worst
It sounds like a Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C Minor
That's the place for spitting, for some reason
When a Korean male is urinating he has the urge to spit
So you're there, trying to pee and you hear
Can you imagine?
Also, only a few of them wash their hands when they're done, just saying
Just in case you're in Korea and you want to shake someone's hand, think about it
Only a few...for real...
Another thing that I don't really like is to take a taxi and the driving style in general here in Seoul
Let's say most of the taxi drivers are quite old
Not only they are old, they remind me of a old version of Vin Diesel in "The Fast And The Furious"
They really drive like they're playing GTA
When I take a taxi I immediately start praying to God that nothing happens
I swear, I reached 100Km/h IN the city, INSIDE the city
Right before the traffic light, ok? Can you even imagine?!
The last thing I want to talk about and probably the only real issue I'll mention in this video
Is the fact that a lot of Koreans have a closed mind
During my 5 years in Korea I noticed that Koreans are a bit xenophobic
More than being scared of the "different" they are a bit ignorant, in the sense that they don't know
And they don't know how to behave
I'm talking about being "different" in every way: race, skin color, sexual orientation
Everything that is not included in their standard of "normality"
It is strange that a big and modern city like Seoul, has this really old mind
But there's a reason. Seoul was built really fast, in only a few decades it became what you see now
Even if you see a lot of modernity and technology,
You can't change people's mind and the culture as fast as you build a skyscraper
But clearly it doesn't make life easy for us, for example
If you watched my Q&A videos you heard my friend Batinna talking about how much she struggled
As a black person to become an English teacher
Another black friend was even humiliated in the street and treated like a monkey
Even if you watch tv, they show a lot of dreadful stereotypes about black people
Talking about sexuality, if you watched my vlog at the gay pride event you know that there were more people against it
than people who actually took part in the pride
I have friends who are 40-50-60 years old and they can't come out to their families and they're living in this never ending lie
Can you imagine the struggle of keeping lies from your family for 50 years?
It's a very heavy burden and it makes me really sad
Even during the elections, all the candidates were against gay marriage
Just saying but even Trump accepted gay marriage...
We can just wait and hope for the next generation
That's all for today's video! I hope you enjoyed it
I missed you so much! I didn't do a video last week and it felt like 6 and a half months
You can follow me on Instagram and Facebook
I keep pointing but I keep forgetting that nothing will appear since it's all in the ending screen
And I'll see you in the next video! I'm preparing videos with Project J and other friends
At least I can stop for a while with the videos alone in the studio
They are really boring to shoot lol
See ya! Pizza...Carbonara...
Ciao...
