  • GOD Korea needs me there

    Its NOT FAT its HAPPY SIZE

    :-)

  • tteungbo---a fat jerk.

    sal---flesh

    saekki----bitch,jerk(literal meaning is 'son')

    nom---jerk

    sal-e cchida----being fat

    chejung-e neulda----being fat

    sal-e oruda-----being fat animal

  • More expressions regarding 'fat' in Korea.

    'You are fat'

    야 이 뚱뗑이 새x야(Ya e tteungtange sekkiya)-----obvious insult.

    야 이 뚱보놈아(Ya e tteungbo noma)----obvious insult

    야 뚱보야(Ya tteungboya)----A rude expression, But between family and friends is fine.

    살찌신거 같아요(Sal cchishingeou gottayo)-----A formal way showing intimacy between co-workers.

    살이 잘 올랐구만(sale jal orlatguman)-------Kind of a sexual harassing expression for female.

  • These type of expression is common.

    'Weight' means, '체중chejung'.'몸무게mommugyae'.

    Depends choosing the word. the nuance.

    Choosing the word, it turns into 'insult','showing intimacy','common expressions'.

  • I think , ' You are too big' is kind of Konglish.

    I don't know the doctor or nurse said '너무 뚱뚱해요 neumu teunteunhaeyo' or not. but,

    Commonly in the hospital. people are not saying the above expression.

    '체중이 너무 나가시네요' Chejunge numu nagashimeyo.

    '감량 하셔야 겠습니다' Gamryung haseyoya getsupnida.

    '체중조절하셔야 겠어요' Chejung jojeul haseyagettseoyo.

  • 'Weight' '웨이트' is not a common word in Korea.

    Korea people can't say properly '웨이트'.

    Because it is difficult expression.

    And, On the bus. The old man. he was trying to show his intimacy for foreigner.

    It wasn't a humiliation I think.

  • Watching videos of myself when I made my first one, makes me so... I can't explain it. I haven't uploaded a video in a while, but there is actually a HUGE difference.

    Koreans would band together to starve me I'm so fat.

  • my guess is that the reason the ajusshi on the train wondered aloud if you were from Canada is because he believed Canadians are slimmer than Americans, and that you looked skinnier than his perceived image of Americans.

  • Omg I'm going to visit busan for three days n I'm scared people will looked at me weird cus i'm fat.... Just like when I visited India ... Everyone sees me n wants a picture with me.

  • @nkaujhmoobvwj

    Don't take offense to it, instead feel like a celebrity!

  • lmao your hilarious xD

  • Koreans are harsh when it comes to physical appearance. I'm a guy and in the US, I've never cared about physical appearance, other than shaving, showering, and the usual basics...but being in Korea and hanging out with other Korean guys, makes me think twice about what to wear, and being conscious about my image.

  • @TheOKBou I was in Korea last July when the heavy rains hit Seoul. Getting used to living and wearing whatever I liked in NZ for 4 years, I first wanted to buy the cheapest jandals that you wear to the toilet only to realize that I was in Korea where everyone takes a good care of what they wear. I ended up buying another decent pairs of jandals.

  • this even happens among koreans here in the u.s.

    i remember i was a little pudgier in six years ago and i went to a bakery here in ktown.. and the lady had the nerve to start telling me i need to lose weight and started trying to give me weight loss advice. still get mad thinking about it.

    and dont get me started on family reunions.. - -;

  • @msdisguised Damn... Sorry man.

  • (<-- American woman) I'm moving to Korea next month, and I swear to God, if anyone touches me, I will get violent. Do Koreans not know about the "personal bubble"?

  • @woohyukikkoku No they don't in the same way that we do. It's just the way it is. You'll get used to it.

  • @woohyukikkoku

    Then you shouldn't come to Korea since your obvs not going to make it here. I've been here 5 years and it's not USA so don't come if you can't handle a different culture.

  • you are so right..... i feel bad about your feeling got hurt and i feel hurt too. im korean and i didn;t like to hear always if i see friends they say oh you gained weight than last time .... and even people not my friends still say.. hm oh well. just don't listen to them.... i don't know why people look at others body weight, physical appearance and tell people what they think.. you know they don't have to. it could be rude to some people. even im korean, at that point i like USA culture better

  • stay skinny lol

  • so it's like Iran...where everyone in the street yells out 'Fattieeee' if you're god forbid not a stick thin person.

  • Comment removed

  • that happens more in the 'english' world and some parts of Europe. You can't say what you think because you must be correct. My country (Spain) is like Korea in that thing, we are extremely direct too.

  • dude you don't look chubby at all to me! don't let them get to you

    anyway I'm also a guy and felt really scrawny and weak all the time growing up in the US, but once I moved to Europe (Turkey) I felt a lot better about my body shape. I don't think it's easy to be thin and a guy in America to be honest.

  • one time a korean guy called me godzilla. fucker

  • Hi ! I'm from Korea. I just watched your video and it was so much fun HAHA.

    Thank you for sharing your stories! :D

  • My family most of them are from souel korea and i totally get what your saying But they dont mean it in a harsh way.

  • It's nothing to do with culture thing. Those people were just being rude and ignorant. It's the same thing as interviewing a handful of ignorant Americans and claiming that all American people are stupid. Don't make the mistake of hasty generalisation.

  • "Ohh Canada??"

    "No dick." LMFAO. Thank you.

  • @onceme2u Do you know that Christianity is correct? The world around us reveals that G-d DOES exist, and the historical evidence reveals that Jesus Christ really did come to this earth and there is overwhelming evidence that Jesus Christ really did physically rise from the dead. Jesus is coming again and the signs of the end times that were foretold in the Bible are coming to pass.

  • @marionetemanJ Ohh kaaaay.. o.O

  • @marionetemanJ your ignorance overwhelms me. 

  • Funny stuff. Luckily I've gotten rid of most of my college beerbelly.

  • i know what u mean about korean girls needs to be perfectly skinny and pretty O_O Gosh

  • I've been fat most of my life, and grew up with sibs who made sure to mention my weight pretty much every day, so comments I can handle. Some stranger touching me would absolutely piss me off. Not the random accidental touches that happen in a city, but deliberately laying hand(s) on me........ugghhh!

  • I agree, but I believe this also happens in North America as well, by Koreans, I mean (if you are Korean). I am a Korean female living in America, and much of my family scolds me for my weight. I am considered chubby/average for Americans, but obese for Koreans. This has greatly affected my self-esteem throughout my childhood. I wish Koreans weren't so shallow.

  • Well.. too bad a LOT of Koreans who move to the U.S. become "fat" too. I mean.. it's rare to see super obese Koreans walking around, but a lot of them do gain some weight. It's just the food and the lifestyle. No one is genetically predisposed of being fat. I love the U.S., I love the food, and I love the lifestyle here. I find my fellow Koreans to be somewhat shallow, especially when they care so dang much about appearance.

  • LOL this video really cracked me up.

  • AHAHAHAHA " Oooh, Canada? :D"

  • yeah. some koreans can't keep their comments to themselves. it's like none of their fucking business but they looooooooove to judge and give their opinions.

    im going back to korea soon but if someone did that to me, i think i would flip out. lol.

  • you are soo funny :* especially when u say '' NO, dick!!!'' to that guy who touched ur belly lol :D

  • True. I went to korea and the biggest size of jeans available was so tight! In australia i feel normal but in korea im godzilla! Im 5'3" 120lbs and that to all my korean relatives is VERY FAT. They always tell me to diet, and i did cuz i felt so bad but my hair started falling out and i was fainting and dizzy -0-

  • that sucks, but don't think your really fat, you look average/fine to the rest of the world ;)

  • Get a Life

  • Comment removed

  • when you say stuff like...i'm an american, i like cheeseburgers...that's kinda ig. not all american's are fatties. some american's care deeply about their health and improving their lives. stop lumping us together. it makes everyone else look bad.

  • HAHAHAHAH you got owned by that ajussi..

  • The thing with asian culture is that weight is not a controversial topic. I think that Americans take offense to being called fat because it is an issue here in the U.S. Obesity, diabetes...etc. In Asia, since like many mentioned, asians are more so thinner than being large. So being called fat is not an insult. It's like saying you don't look good in a certain color. It's really not that big of a deal.

  • Another theory is that, from my experience being an Asian raised in the U.S., Americans could be just more sensitive to comments and criticism. Most if not all of my friends are American and the one thing that I've realized is that Americans would rather hear a pretty than a lie. Asians would not get offended if you tell them that a shirt makes them look fat. If you think about it, it's actuallly a favor for one person to tell you that than let you go out and have everyone think you're a bearLOL

  • @Mayyy08 very true. well said

  • @Mayyy08

    That is true. My Korean mom says that I look fat like its an everyday thing, even though I wear size 4 jeans (though her comment did make me go out and jog for a good hour)...she even called our Korean neighbor fat and the lady just laughed, drank her water and talked like nothing happened. O__o

  • @Mayyy08 i think at the same time that Asians put too much emphasis on weight, which can lead to self-image issues.

  • @Mayyy08

    it's not really that it's because weight, age and everything else is personal. Usually in America you don't talk to random strangers about your weight. You keep it to yourself or even tell closer people in your life.

    Weight isn't really controversial in America, we all know about it. It's not taboo. we all know it's because of not having enough money for organic food, inmoblitiy and fast food.

    It's something personal, you know?

  • "No dick, America" lol

  • i see the difference i just saw your old video from 3 yrs ago lol youre still hot :)

  • ahaha that explains a lot for me! my mother is korean and we're living in germany but a few years ago when I was a juvenile I was kinda fat and she told me that everyday till I lost about 40 pounds xD

  • it is not "funny" or "open" - it is intolerant, rude and offensive. I used to love Koreans and Korea, but the way they treat fat people completely put me off, i don't want to go there again.

  • @xyzhtm i think the intolerant and offensive one is you rather.

  • @xyzhtm

    Koreans aren't saying it to be mean or rude. I think right here is just a cultural difference. Koreans are very open about their opinions. My mother and her Korean friends used to call me fat and even pointed out the little acnes I had on my face when I was a teen. I was hurt, but I did something about it. I exercised and did what I could to clean my face up. My mom and her friends even helped me out by buying healthy food and acne killing lotions and facial masks. The truth hurts.

  • I had some Koreans in my apartment building when I lived in DC. I become pretty close with quite a few of them. I had bought a jacket, and after trying it on, decided to return it. One of the Koreans demanded I put it back on so he could see how it fit. I put it on, zipped it up, and looked to him for his opinion.

    "Ahhhhh! The jacket is fine. You are too fat!"

  • I like your videos lol

  • people are like that in turkey too "you're fat. why don't you lose weight?", but they're not like that in germany. here it's a total taboo to make a comment about someone's weight.

  • oh God, that would be my worst nightmare if someone said that aloud to me in front of everyone :S Must. Excercise. To. Prevent.This....*typing this while eating Oreo Cookies* lol

  • At least he gave you thumbs up when he said "ohh canada" lol. Would a been way worse if he gave you shit face while patting it haha

  • lol -pats belly- Old man: Canada? o_o No you dick

  • I love that...'you should lose some weight' infront of everybody °°

    XD I can imagine the reaction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • how hilarious! unless you live off on your physical side, don't think it matters...

  • He's Fuckin' Sexy!!

  • bahaha that's so awesome!!! my culture is similar to the korean in that it's not a big thing when someone mentions you're weight - you get embarassed and a little annoyed but it's not really a situation where you would take offence. good advice though - just laught it off haha

  • it seems like koreans are way too superficial. jeeez

  • lol the "ooh Canada!" bit sounds funny. I wouldn't have been offended! (well, maybe a little since I'm a female : )

  • LOL~ WTF! haha "Im an American~ I like cheeseburgers" omg~ you are so me!!

    Koreans always hear me say "i miss cheeseburgers" hahaha , but I got the opposite no one ever called me fat..I actually said to a korean friend I wanted to lose weight and she said "NO! You are small" kkkk but girls here are always on diets~ but same with you since coming to Korea I have lost weight and slimmed down a little :)

  • @XxTruSelfxX why what have you been eating so i like to eat them too to lose weigth.LOL! I am obsessed to lose some weight.

  • @FireEthereal I'm not really complaining. And I AM in Seoul.

  • @durkeeinkorea

    I just came across your vids, and I love them! 

  • @FireEthereal GTFO!

  • sigh...

    Koreas the same as USA. go to New York or something. There are fat ppl in Korea too. You just didnt go to the right society. Usa isnt much different -.-

  • @FireEthereal Korea is not the same as USA. Not at all. I'm not saying there aren't fat people in Korea. My point here is that where I'm from people aren't so open when it comes to body weight.

  • @durkeeinkorea you are right. Korean people are bit too obsessed with their physical appearance.. i think its because theyre very trendy people.. but one thing that is true, big cities like new york, tokyo, people do care more about their body image than anyother cities. but yes who the f cares huh

  • @durkeeinkorea yep lol you should visit Guam sometime. Fat is pretty much part of the culture haha. the food here is crazy good XD

  • @FireEthereal Apply the same thing you posted ... at least go to Seoul and see...and then you can say..

  • NICE FIRST VIDEO!

  • I decided to go on the Kim Pil Sook diet from the drama Dream High- eat a like a queen in the morning, commoner at lunch, beggar at night. Then jump rope 30 min a day. It's been awesome, although I admit Christmas has messed me up.

    

  • DUR...DURR...DURRRR.....DURKEE­!!!

  • cool story, bro

  • yo fatty, drop some pounds! ;)

  • It's like 2 am right now but I'm trying to suppress laughter because your story reminds me of the time I was standing on the sidewalk (with people walking by) and my aunt yells from inside the house to "loose some weight or my shirt wasn't going to fit anymore"....all the while she's letting her muffin top hang out! Anyway I like your vids hahaha XP

  • @anna50ish HAHAHA! That's awsome. You said "muffin top".

  • @durkeeinkorea LOL yes...yes I did. It wasn't awesome at the time since I was going through puberty and all -.- but it's all cool cuz I have a pretty nice body now, if I do say so myself >:D

  • Yeah im sooo jealous that Its just not part of their culture to be overweight, they just do eat healthier food and probably exercise more ^^

    Im 16 but i teach english to 3 korean students, and one of them (a boy who is about 12) said to me 'oh alicia, you could never be a model. Coz you're too fat!'

    Haa... What do you say to that?? i don't consider myself fat.. Im not 'skinny' but i'd say i was pretty average -_- its pretty shocking to hear it even so..

  • To be fair, if us North Americans said that to each other, the obesity epidemic might curb a bit...

  • @austinrafter I think that's pretty true. I mean everyone turns a blind eye to weight here, like it's a forbidden topic lol. Or they people use a bunch of euphemisms. Fat is fat, not fluffy or voluptuous...

  • When I visited my mom's side of the family for the first time,but later on,my uncle,Sun Chul told me I look like a pig...in the car with my mom while we were heading home. Such an ass...then my mom continued with that subject about me...sadness complete sadness. ._.

  • Comment removed

  • I remember when Sammy said that, it was beautifully tactless. (Roger)

  • I am completely with you and agree with your feelings, DurkeeInKorea.

    Openly revealing a result of your physical test to others? As you said, what the fuck!!!!!

    Gee............. BTW, I am Korean.

  • I'm not perfectly skinny and that is something I am afraid of when I go to Korea... people will judge me because I have bigger legs than them or something (-_-;) if someone does talk about my weight, I think I would say to them that I am happy the way I am and I have a different body build to Korean people, so I shouldn't be concerned about how heavy I am ;)

  • one time one of my Korean student's/friends (Not in Korea, yet, I'm a tutor in the states) asked me if I want to be skinny. All I could do was laugh XD he says stuff like that all the time, but it's not like he's trying to be mean or anything

  • im 14 and white and i'm over weight and i live in korea. lol but im super tall so i don't look really fat but i've never had anyone call me fat. lol but i bet they've said it in korean. but i don't really care wat koreans say cus there alllll super skinny

  • hey it's so funny when i suppose im american. lol WTF !!!!

    from now i should be careful about physical appearance comment to foreigner

    thx for video

  • I've heard the same from Chinese families. The worst I heard was from these elderly Vietnamese who said to one person... you used to be pretty now you're fat... almost like it was nothing. I was once criticized by my mom's friends for gaining 15 lbs.. ..putting me only at 116 being 5'2". yea...A cultural thing. Never get used to it though.

  • You can be rather free in Woman to woman, or man to man conversation.

    But generally, you are right. Korea has generosity on mentioning someone's

    weight. It applies to other personal things. age, occupation, salary.. etc...

  • All that body weight and diet problem is a big concern to young Korean ladies in their 20-30. Actually, as a Korean guy, I think average Korean girls are not that 'fat'.

    Even some who publicly acknowlege their fatness, they look just a little chubby to me. In my thought, Korean ettiquet on fatness is like this. Usually men should not mention about a lady's weight in front of her, but it depends. Sometimes Men can say something about her weight directly. It depends, I say.

  • OMG Too funny! And thanks for the heads up! That was helpful. I am hoping to go to Korea soonish. Within the next year. And I am fat. Like fat fat. So that will be interesting. LOL I am sure people will comment but oh well, I gots to remember that it's the culture and not take it personally. :)

  • @soubiluv98 I hope i'll be able to have your attitude when I go to Korea... by then my fiance and I technically be married and we are both fat... so at least I don't have to worry about trying to date anyone there ;) I'm 5'7" and the skinniest I ever got was like 130 lbs. back in college one summer. One of the reasons i've put off going to Korea is because I wanted to lose weight and i've lost 30 lbs. but i'm still really fat.... i'm hoping that the Korean diet and walking a lot will help.

  • @caribearkiss kimchi and rice!! I'm telling you, it's the best diet ever! I lost like 60lbs from doing that for 6 months. lol

  • that comment by the elderly man about your tummy me laugh, not at you. But the whole situation. Yes Koreans especially the older generation are very blunt. Not to be mean or to hurt you. It's just that they feel they should tell the truth and not think about the consequences. My mother would compliment me and then and then in the same sentence critisize my looks at the same time. lol

  • @dragonk64 How come honesty only extends to physical appearance? Like it's still considered rude to criticize someone's character (based on the shock I got from saying my ex-who is 2 years older than me, so maybe it's another elder thing--was rude), but it's ok to call them fat or ugly. I'm honestly wondering, it's so confusing to me =[

  • Well I think I better lose a bit of weight before/if I go to Korea. o.o What about height? I'm a tall girl too. Ugh I cannot win haha.

  • I understand that in other cultures people, generally, can be more blunt about certain things, however, if Sami, in particular, was in charge of dealing with foreign teachers, she is the one person in the entire school who should have been culturally sensitive enough to know that things like these are just not done.

  • Korean American here. They usually say stuff like that in good will. They are not trying to embarrass you or anything.

    But... i do believe S. Koreans have become a bit more image conscious then before. I think it's due to the entertainment industry. It sets a very high standard for the younger generation.

  • Ironically, as an East Asian person, parents/grandparents will always encourage you to eat. Then, when you gain weight, they criticize you for being "fat." A vicious cycle!!

  • @destructicon500 I agree! My cousin is a bit big and her mom always forces her to eat.. then she gains weight and she's all, "Wow. You're fat." oh you

  • @destructicon500 same thing in Greece...I totally understand! eat eat...and then...you got to lose some weight sweetie..and then again...you're too skinny eat eat....god grandma...decide!plz! :p

  • @destructicon500 this is true.

  • @destructicon500

    Same here. I was a size 0 for the longest time. Mom fed me like crazy, now she's complaining that I eat too much while still giving me a huge bowl of rice. =\

  • Koreans are extremely image-conscious and they don't hold back. My favorite is, "oh, you have such a pretty face, but you're so fat!" Comments about my weight don't really offend me because my grandma is Japanese and has been nagging at me to lose weight since the day I was born. In Asia, I suppose short, slender, and quiet women are still preferred...which makes me want to rant about the sexism that is ingrained in the culture, but I'll save it for another post :D

  • well, I grew up in an Asian family (in Australia)... and my family + relatives makes negative comments all the time about my weight and thighs, though I keep telling them I am of average weight and I think I'm fine the way I am.

    I guess you need to be in some degree insensitive when in Asia.

    I mean, I heard stories about makeup salespeople in china commenting on the customers face, negatively, to promote their product... so yeah~

  • woah! no wonder we dont see many heavier people on the street...

    I am of normal weight, but now feel terrified to visit Seoul next month..!! do I have to be really skinny ?!!!!!

  • LOL no dick america!

  • It's not just the weight. Koreans just make these comments about your physical appearance with the nonchalant air of discussing the weather.

    "Hey it's so good to see you! Your cheeks look fuller. You've gained weight! And your skin looks a little damaged..." I always dread returning to Korea for this reason... :'(

  • @therlaehgund O.o WHAT??? ok, that's it. i don;t feel like going to seoul anymore.

    thanks for the warning @durkeeinkorea

  • Comment removed

  • i'm a korean american and am pretty overweight.  i get it ALLL the time from family, family friends and any other korean from the mother land. If its within family its even more brutal, but yeah its just the way it is. in my opinion, koreans need to put on a little weight...especially the dudes...they are way too effeminate.

  • lmao "ooh canada"

    is that how the world views my country? i blame the bacon

  • @cherylinthesky Funnily enough, Durkee's reaction to being called Canadian is my reaction to being called American when I travel.

  • @cherylinthesky the bacon and the jack. XD

  • @cherylinthesky don't forget our maple XD

  • @durkeeinkorea, Yeah dude, the poor guy got tested false positive twice, but he facebooked after going back to South Africa. Apparently there are 2 types of tests. He did the one where it showed positive and the school wanted nothing to do with him. Back in SA, he just double checked and sent his blood to a lab. It turns out that there is a chemical in his blood that makes the one test appear positive. Major drama!

  • BTW, even worse than the Koreans is this Canadian working at my school. A dog licked him about 3 months back and he is still convinced that he has rabies. All the doctors in Korea have told him he has nothing to worry about, but the guy keeps on hammering and insisting that he has rabies. Really annoying.

  • so many koreans wear skinny jeans, even guys wear it like women

  • Dude, the exact same thing happened to me. Was overweight yes, but announcing it to all the foreign staff members in out teachers room was not cool. My blood pressure was really high as well and the previous South African that was here before us, got kicked out because he was tested + for HIV (turned out it was a mistake!). My boss, being a dictator, keeps remembering me that I am here thanks to him! But made peace with being with the Koreans and their obsession with health/skinny-ness!

  • @brazmonkivideos Jesus Fuggin Christ... Can you imagine getting a mistake on an AIDS test. God!

  • Well I can't say that I've had that annoyance while living in Japan, but I do get it occasionally from my Japanese boyfriend. I give it right back to him! I personally eat healthy and walk every where so if the fat doesn't come off because of that, then it'll never come off because I'm not a fitness junkie.

  • @untmdsprt Don't take no crap!

  • I never noticed this until a few years ago when I went to Korea to visit family. They kept telling me I need to lose weight and how much prettier I would be if I lost the weight. And of course this bothered me because I grew up in the States and we would never say anything like that to each other. (My mom would say stuff like that to me, but she is Korean.) But when I went back last summer, I had lost some weight and they gushed about how much better I looked. Korea is way too focused on looks.

  • @MelAnCart4 Wow! Atleast they complimented you when you lost weight...

  • Glad u made this video. In my experiences, I always get the "ur fat, u need to lose weight" from my Korean mom. Then I got "u need to lose 20lbs" from my doctor from India. This must be a Asian cultural opinion of appearance. I grew up with learning American manners and this always bothered me. I've learned to accept it the same way by understanding this is a cultural difference.

  • @kal20twelve Interesting. Yeah, you gotta just accept it.

  • I'm also in Korea, we took the kids to a field trip on Friday. We went horseback riding - after all the kids rode the horses, the teachers got a shot. The females went first, then the other male teachers... I went last and as I was about to get on the horse, the owners came running out and said, "too large size, no ride". I'm tall, but certainly not fat. I weigh just over 200 pounds and these were big full sized horses. The kids all laughed at me.. calling me fat. Oh well!

  • @tehDL Haha! It's a fuggin horse! That's hilarious!

  • I may have just cackled so loud I freaked out my neighbors with the Canada comment.

    I had an issue finding clothes while we were in Japan visiting. All the shirt sizes were size "F". Even if I was a stick my boobs would make the shirt too small.

  • @OverYonderlust Boobs always get in the way. Nahhhhhh

  • @durkeeinkorea They do!!! They make me buy not cute t-shirts. SERIOUS PROBLEM (even if hubby disagrees)

  • @OverYonderlust yea i have the same problem lol

  • @AmbieBug Always glad to have someone around that has to deal with what a pain it can be.

  • @OverYonderlust haha yea everybody thinks is such a gift haha how funny they are.

  • I'd been meaning to make a video about this, but you beat me to it. Maybe I'll go at it from a different angle.

  • Haha that is the first time i think you've dropped "the F bomb", Aussie slang, good advice, i am suprised you lost weight over there. I do alot of sport in Aus and when i spent 2 months in Korea i put on weight, probably the soju

  • @FriedRice01 Oh no! Soju's good for your health! Haha! F BOMB!!! Oh yeah....

  • I can't find clothes that fit me here!! haha..

  • @jhk2h ME TOOOO!!!!

  • LOL stay skinny.

  • That explains a lot... My Korean school principal here in the U.S. told me a while ago that I should lose some weight before I go to Korea for college (if that happens -- it's still two years away). I was like, "Um...... What??" I was really offended and couldn't understand why she would just say that. Also, I had a Korean exchange student for a year. But we were shopping once and I tried on a shirt. She said it made me look fat (I'm not big..). I was shocked. Anyway, thanks for this video haha.

  • @gyoshilxxidea Haha! Korea explained.

  • Yes, people can be blunt!

  • Word. I work out here 5 times a week at least. I used to be fatter as well but I knew that I should get in shape in the months before Korea. The good thing is that I know my more cruel students and critical Koreans will not have as much ammunition to dog me with.

  • Blunt very blunt which would start fights in the US. Yep American are offended Korean don't seem to have personal boundaries they are all in it. I was at a fish shop and the ladies kept looking at my while I was waiting for my order. All of a sudden she reached her hands out and squeezed my breast. I jump back so fast and was offended my Aunt just laughed.
