If you are dark-skin person prepare yourself for a lot of racism and discrimination by a LOT of koreans. The old people have strong problems with foreigners in general, some of them hit you in the street "by accident". It will be really hard to do good korean friends. And forget about your privacy, they will be always looking at you, what are you doing in your free time, who are your friends, all the aspects of your life.

I don't get how people don't immediately start working on learning the language of the country they're moving to, like wtf, why would you not learn their language if you've decided to live there, it's mind boggling, it's not even that hard. Especially when you have speakers of the language surrounding you everywhere.
-
Lol this has no relevance to me at all but I can't stop watching it.
-
Also, dont go to korea if you think it's all about kpop and dramas and what you see there is what it's like in real life. lol
-
Would add to this: don't get sucked into the drinking culture. You can easily get drawn into going out almost every night and hanging out at oeguk bars. Go make some Korean friends, learn their language and culture, explore and keep a journal of your experiences.
-
They constantly remind you that "you may walk among us you will never be one of us" It's very homogenous there and they want to keep it that way.
-
There is also this saying called "Riding the white horse." which applies to Korean people just trying to sleep with a foreigner just to have the merit of doing so. So if you do want a relationship with a Korean person, make them work for it and check they are genuine. You deserve to treated like a human.

I have no interest in teaching abroad but I still watched this whole video! Interesting info👍🏼

I am living for the subtle shade in this video. I am sure it applies just as much today as it did in 2013. Thanks for this video, it's a much needed reality check for many.

As I possibly prepare to teach in Korea, your video amuses me at all the fun that I could be having soon. I have lived and worked in China, Thailand, and Vietnam. I have had some of the best times of my life teaching abroad! Korean people are very wonderful and I have known many in Southern California! Thanks for bringing a smile to my face to what's on the horizon for me!

basically, be cultured or don't come...

Awwwwww man, I was gonna come waving an American Flag yelling "Where's the steak and potatoes at my Korean Bitches?!?!?!?!?!?!"

When I went to Neili in Taiwan (2016) to teach English, locals that I met there told me during my stay that they saw me as integrated within just a week. They said that they were very surprised at how quickly I adjusted to life there. I would love to try live in Korea aswell in the near future too. Since I love to study languages, I would be thrilled to try learn Korean too!

Thank you for this I am in Cambodia and this helped a lot We don'"t have the free apartment and eating at school. Cambodia was a shock in the begging but i am finding the people so helpful and loving this side everyone is always bribing me fruit and sharing this is such a humble place but worth it if you can get past the heat 12 months of the year, Education is very big here and very important Cambodia is fast growing and you can see it all around you

It's really sad when people go to other countries and act like a damn fool. It breaks my heart that in 2016 you have to tell adults how to act like a human being. I just hope Koreans know that all Americans are not racist asses.
-
Even though I'm not Korean & was born and raised in America, I kind of find it rude & disrespectful when someone goes to another country not learning the language, religion, nor laws. They prefer to act how they are in there country instead of keeping it low & calm. It kind of hurts that some people in Korea think we act wild & disrespectful because of those types of people who goes to Korea for their benefit.

Somebody give this man a bigger salary. This was so informative, down to earth and dynamite. Thanks man.

Thank you for the introduction to English Educators as to what are some of the norms to recognize and become familiar with in terms of your stay in Korea. Very well put together.
