[ThaBuzzBDen]

:) Not going to comment on him I think everyone has covered it, IA :) haha Wll, you are very cool. He's right, some people just give a great vibe and that's you. Cheers.

[lecifbaby]

He is HOW OLD!! No wonder his intellect is so sharp. He's so hot though, I seriously thought he was in his 20's.

[angelicwarrior31]

He is so cool and down to earth and wise too :)

[blessednhm]

Whoa did he just say 43!!! I don't believe it!

[onceme2u]

I love this guy lol He reminds me of my dad with his analogies :)

[StormeeJane08]

I just need to say this, I"m falling in love with this guy and I pray I meet a man like him one day! Plus he looks beautiful for 43!

[DarkShonobi]

Wow the thoughts shared in this video were so deep and profound. Amen you guys!

[sabella69]

Like that you refer to him as your Oppa :-) It says a lot about your friendship. I just stumbled on this and it made me smile. Please bring him back! I enjoyed his visuals, metaphors and parables. You are both so fortunate to be friends. If I weren't happy for your happiness I would be envious. Hugs~

[ForeverVannah18]

[jalabi99]

Your oppa is SO AWESOME. I thoroughly enjoyed his insights. He is so awesome!

[unmasflojomidgewidge]

His English is soooo good to be completely self taught. That just made him that much cooler on top of the fact that he is so wise and looking great for his age :D

[diceof7]

He is a very wise and I'm glad you have a friend like him.

[TheSynlover]

(There is more i want to say but its hard for me to put into words)

[TheSynlover]

P.S. You are a beautiful black woman who inspires me truly  ( after justing watching literally four of your vids) and seriously thank you. And ur oppa is extremely attractive not just by his looks but by his wisdom, his open mind, and his ability (that unfortunately some people dont see) to notice and observe how the world is and how our society is and realizes the true meaning of what as a HUMAN RACE and being EQUAL stands for and so much more.

[TheSynlover]

This is a topic that I wanted to express my opinions about. I am super emotional person when it comes to racism and why we have it and why i wish it didnt exist. But thats not reality. I really like how ur oppa gave an example of racism with the lake metaphor and it is something that i had in my thoughts but i did not had the right words to describe it and he said it perfectly. I am excited to watch all of your vids and to gain exps.Thxs so much I literally just started watching ur vids today.

[TheSynlover]

I just want to say Avery (and to ur oppa) thank you so much for posting this vid. You truly inspire me. I am a black and white (even though what the color of my skin shouldn't matter) young woman who is 20. Even though I havent experience going to different countries I have experience multicultural friends especially in college. I was always open to diff cultures, traditions, perspectives. I am planing to go to korea. My cousin who is black teahces english there and i will be visiting her.

[AZULAPRO]

Holy crap! I thought this guy was in his 20's 0_o

[IcanCuRightnow]

Wow, he is so down to earth, funny, and wise, and just an all-around great person. It was so nice how he described the feeling he had when watching your youtube video: "...my screen got brighter." - Awww. That's definitely a friend for life.

[AbatarTeacher]

@IcanCuRightnow yea he's pretty cool;-)

[LOVEELY28VERO]

his facial expressions are top notch . lmao ' what are you umming about ?? ' i loled .

[AbatarTeacher]

@LOVEELY28VERO i know right!!? He keeps me in check, ALL THE TIME!! but his faces make me laugh, so im never like "dang you tried to play me". we keep good energy between us :)

[LOVEELY28VERO]

@AbatarTeacher it must be awesome to hang out with him . i really enjoyed the talk you had with him , i hope you guys make another video , if you can convince him . PS ; i'm also still learning to eat with chop sticks and it's a hand full .

[douknowyunhocuzido]

I don't know his age but your Oppa is HOTT! 43??? Not just physically but his mind and his demeanor make him VERY attractive. Keep real people like that in your life and you will go soooo far <3<3<3

[AbatarTeacher]

@douknowyunhocuzido I CONCUR!!! and yes, ill try my best to keep him and others like him around! Thanks for watching~.~

[Diamondprincez01]

Everything he said I agree with , veryyy wise man. I hope to meet more people like this in my future and you also for showing these videos and spreading the knowledge! because there very enlightening ! anyeonghaseo!!

[AbatarTeacher]

@Diamondprincez01 Thanks and hopefully, we'll keep the vids coming. But dont be surprised we are equally goofy, so they topics may not be as heavy the next time!

[meredithawatson]

This is a fantastic interview. I live in Japan and have been here for 3 years. I have visited Seoul on numerous occassions and loved it. Some of the same things that you expressed and Oppa expressed exist in Japan too. Great video.

[AbatarTeacher]

@meredithawatson what part of Japan are u in?? I went to Japan for a few days and LOVED IT!! and they loved me too. it was just the opposite in Korea. But Seoul is also A LOT more westernized than the other parts of the country, which is amazing cuz Korea isn't but so big!

[OCDmadaFker]

yes indeed, his English is more than good!!

[AbatarTeacher]

@OCDmadaFker yea, but he doesn't think so:( I dont know what else to tell him, but he def speaks better than some of these Koreans walking around with "English master's". :D

Thanks for watching and the post!

[rissabakablu]

Him: Were they racist?

You: Ummmmmm

Him: What r u ummmming about?!?!?!

He was about to whoop yo ass for a brief second lol....jk

[AbatarTeacher]

@rissabakablu BWAAHAA!! I know right!! oh well, i woulda had it on camera!!!! Ha ha ha ! But, i am fully confident that after the beat down, he woulda' helped be up and then sat and discussed why i left him no choice!

[animericanxx]

oh man i love the positive vibes he omits from this video. seems very wise!!! he ssaid he's 41??? cuz he looks great for his age!

[AbatarTeacher]

@animericanxx yea hes super wise and looks really good for his age! 

[OmoItsekiri]

@AbatarTeacher An nyoung ha say o! Wow oppa's metaphor was amazing (the ripples in the water), he's like a sage or something :) I will go to south Korea one day, thank you for sharing your experiences.

[AbatarTeacher]

@OmoItsekiri Anyong! Hes full of nuggets and metaphors!! SOUTH KOREA IS WAITING>>>!! 

[GottaGetbacktosaturn]

There is a positive energy that comes across from him. Avery, he's beautiful. I am so appreciative that you share him and his words. I am appreciative of you~

It's amazing how we cross individuals that can and will have a lasting affect on our lives.

Thank you for the time you take. You're insightful and thoughtful as well. If it ever becomes available-I say we clone him. We need more beautiful spirits like him in the world.

[AbatarTeacher]

@GottaGetbacktosaturn I SECOND THAT MOTION!!! And yes I'm thankful for him and all the other blessing that are around me everyday!! Thanks for watching and your comments of encouragement:)

[sonkatoia]

Oppa: was my parents racist?

you: ummmmmmmmm

Oppa: what you ummmmmm for?!!! lol epic

[AbatarTeacher]

@sonkatoia HA HA!! He keeps me in order and in-line!! It's good for me, lol:)

[AbatarTeacher]

It keeps me laughing?

[jmltalbert5650]

Woooww this interview is amazing:)

[AbatarTeacher]

@jmltalbert5650 Thanks for watching~.~ I hope we can keep getting better at "sharing the love"

[jmltalbert5650]

@AbatarTeacher I really hope so...:)

[ladeeowl]

ok, it's official im in love with oppa! I mean really such an insightful human being with such grace, where can we find such a man here in the US?? Love you so much Avery for bringing such wonderful ppl to your tube like your pastor!

[AbatarTeacher]

@ladeeowl Thanks so very much for your kind words!! And I bring the people that I allow around me. I'm very protective over who I allow around me and who I spend my time with. Good people bring the good life and I wanna share that with the world. And, I know some of those guys in the US, BUT they are hard to find because they are focused on their goals and makin' the world a better place:)

[kaikauruwashii]

I really like hearing him speak! He really has this certain gracefulness about him- poetic, as 1090tiani said. And he learned English through watching movies? No classes?! Yes that is amazing!

[AbatarTeacher]

@kaikauruwashii I TOTALLY agree with everything you said! Even when we are joking around, I still catch myself pondering his words. He really is a classic kind of guy:)

[1090tiani]

Really love your videos. And my gracious; Oppa is so...poetic. haha He speaks so fluidly. It's beautiful. 

[ohsdang]

i really enjoy your videos! you're a really good interviewer and i never get bored! i hope you do more videos with oppa cuz he has a unique personality.

[AbatarTeacher]

@ohsdang yes, he indeed is probably the most unique and individualistic person I know! I enjoy spending time with him and his family. I always learn something new.

[efdizzle09]

"i am 43 years old" i nearly jumped out my seat when he said this. this guy looks 27!!! i was a little confused when he said he had a daughter who wanted an mp3 player... i was thinking what kind of 5 yr old wants an mp3 player. ha, now that i know he is in his 40s, i realize his daughter is prolly older

[AbatarTeacher]

@efdizzle09 yea me too! when he first told me his age, i thought he was lying, and for weeks I was like, DANG! He's really good at keeping a strait face, then I realized he was being dead serious!! LOL `Which I still dont think sunk in until he let me meet his daughter (once he knew i wasnt crazy, lol)

[efdizzle09]

@AbatarTeacher i am going to be in korea in less than a month! i hope i can met awesome korean ppl like ur oppa

[soffy2002]

I love what Oppa said that you can't understand another person's [way of life] just respect them. So true.

[AbatarTeacher]

@soffy2002 yea man, hes always dropping nuggets!! I love being around him cuz im always learning something and looking at life from a different perspective. that kind of open and honest wisdom from such an humble person is REEEEEFRESHING!

[tetomareunafoto]

oops, i should have watched the whole video first before i asked the question. sorry :)

[AbatarTeacher]

@tetomareunafoto tee hee! its cool i do the same thing on other peoples videos!

[tetomareunafoto]

Oppa seems like a really cool & down to earth guy! how long have you been friends for & how did you guys first meet?

[AbatarTeacher]

@tetomareunafoto HE IS!!! Thats why we are friends, he's the closest friend I have here and is completely himself ALL THE TIME. that kind of stability is priceless!

[aliondeck07]

He is really awesome !

hopefully i can meet people like him !

<3 LOVE HIM !!

[AbatarTeacher]

@aliondeck07 You will!! There are way more kind people than crazies! You just have to take the lack of experience with it, ya know? So, they may be totally nice and say something offensive and just not know it. So, just call them on it. Usually, they apologize and it doesnt happen again:) All in all the majority of the people here have good intentions.

[LadyBug3314]

It's always great to see someone who can look beyond what the media puts out about different types of people and their culture. Gotta love Oppa! But did Oppa cut his beautiful hair? NNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Love watching the two of you. At the end it looked like he was going to put that whole fish in his mouth bones and all! Hahaaa! Thanks for sharing.

[AbatarTeacher]

@LadyBug3314 LOL, yea he did. He donates it for cancer. That's his way of giving back, but it'll be back soon! LOL ;) And yes, I almost dropped the camera at the end! I was just as surprised as he was! ROTFL

[teehype]

hmm. that's a nice looking 43!

makes me rethink my policy on dating much older men! lol

[AbatarTeacher]

@teehype I PLEAD THE 5th!!! That's a whole other video~.~

[dainanda123]

Woah...this is so insightful. This interview with your Oppa was very thought provoking. I'm really glad I tuned in because it gave me a chance to hear a native Korean's prospective. There was more I was going to right, but I forgot lol.

[AbatarTeacher]

@dainanda123 AWESOME!! That's what I was going for!! FAAAAAAR too often I make comments about my life here and people think I'm lying or exaggerating or whatever. So having it come from the mouth of a Korean, I think proves my point and is a bit easier to understand.

[Libra8410]

He's cute and he looks youthful. Thanks for the interview~

[AbatarTeacher]

@Libra8410 Thanks so much for watching~.~ And yes, I'm trying to get him to spill the beans on that fountain of youth he's been sipping from!! LOL

[td02fe]

Love love love Oppa. If I wasn't married I would want you to send me an Oppa Avery. He seems to be a great friend to you.

More videos please!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AbatarTeacher]

@td02fe Hes a wonderful friend to me and SUCH a real support in my life:)

[ZeniJAM12]

I love how he gets his thoughts together b4 he speaks on anything...THAT'S A MAN!!! Boy he can eat!!! LOL......he's so little. U guys kill me. Sissy.......u look sooooooo pretty!!! Thanks for the vid!!! Oppa is hilarious. He need 2 teach this ig-nant other ppl how 2 treat others w/ kindness!!! Loveeeeeeee u guys..Can't wait 2 c u guys this summer...Start the count down. =)

[AbatarTeacher]

@ZeniJAM12 Thanks dear!! I wish I could duplicate him and put him in every household:)

[youreaterpiknow]

[AbatarTeacher]

@youreaterpiknow LOL!! yes he looks great for his age, but is SUPER young at heart!

[murasakiflower86]

This is an amazing video, and he is so wise and open. I feel like I will be doing my part by teaching there next year. THANK BOTH OF YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR THOUGHTS!!!!

[AbatarTeacher]

@murasakiflower86 Cool! When do you get here?

[murasakiflower86]

@AbatarTeacher I am applying for the TaLK program, and if everything flows right I will be there in February. Pray for me ^^! It would be cool to meet you!

[chinigerian]

it looks like the ipad

[AbatarTeacher]

@chinigerian yea but smaller and way more bells and whistles!

[virulentxenmity]

i REALLY appreciate Oppa! i'm glad his eyes are open and he knows that america is not the most awesome place, white people are not the perfect race (no offense), and he accepts YOU as a person and treats you as such. i really liked hearing his insight and i wish more koreans were as knowledgeable and open-minded as him! tell him i think he's great and i would love to hear from him more!

i liked the footage of your student in the other vid too!

thanks so much for sharing this! :)

[AbatarTeacher]

@virulentxenmity I concur with everything you said! And yea my high school debate team is awesome!

[rapmann]

Seriously, your Oppa is amazing. He's so austere, and his facial expressions are classic.

[AbatarTeacher]

@rapmann LOL, and you get 10 cool points fro using the word, austere!!! And yes, he faces, keep me dying laughing!!!

[vmx1718]

Your Oppa is wonderful!

I hope I can meet people like him.

I might go this summer to South Korea.

[AbatarTeacher]

@vmx1718 Yes he is!! You will, theres open-minded Koreans, you just have to find them~.~
