    u wouldnt say north and south korea are same

    if u had at list a little tiny knowledge of south koera. think there are samsung and lg in north korea? u r just talking shit with the video that shows a "part" of korea

  • dude, anyone who's gotten any level of formal education knows the MASSIVE difference between North and South Korea LOL

    did i say otherwise? i said they are- obviously- different.

  • @themeankitty33 i live in america and seriously one of third students ask me "north korea?" when i say im from korea.. so i tell them "no south korea" and then they ask me again "which one is the communist?"

  • @cjswnsdl OH MY LORD i get that ALL THE TIME.

    lmao kids used to go like " are you chinese?"

    me: " no."

    " are you japanese?"

    " uh, no.."

    " oh, then you must be from thailand."

    and after listing practically every asian country/countries around asia, they finally ask me if i'm korean. WTF.

  • i'll be in korea next summer! will you be there?!

  • Good and stay over there for all I care. :D

  • I was going to ask you if you'd still be there this summer because I'm going to Seoul, but then I read that you're in the army right now!

  • yet that hate is slowly being disenigrated due to international bands like Arashi, SMAP, DBSK/ TVXQ/ Tonoshinki, and Big Bang

  • hmmm... why is that? are they too busy criticizing the country or trying to change it to be american that they forgot that they do not live in the u.s. any more?

  • awsome video!! :))

  • nice for peace :)

  • Here's how Seoul could attract tourists:

    1. clean up the trash on the streets

    2. create parks through urban planning

    3. remove neon signs and other eye sores

    4. close Seoul's open sewers to prevent unpleasant odors

    5. create stricter zoning laws to avoid more cookie-cutter apartment complexes. Keep residential, business areas separate.

    By the way, I live in Seoul.

  • @imlivinitupniggaz hey, get off your opinions. That's pointless. just do well on your country! bye

  • @imlivinitupniggaz

    Here's how imlivinitupniggaz knows nothing:

    1. That isn't how you spell niggaz or livin

    2. Korea isn't the only place with unpleasant smells.

    3. Everything is close together BECAUSE KOREA IS A SMALL COUNTRY

    4. Its quite hard to find space for parks because BECAUSE IT'S A SMALL COUNTRY.

    5. Just because you have bad eyes doesn't mean they should remove all of them. Don't look at them pussy.

    By the way, I live in Seoul and know nothing about the Country

  • @imlivinitupniggaz

    1. GOOD IDEA

    2. S.KOREA IS SOO SMALL. YOU THINK THAT'S POSSIBLE. OK.?

    3. NO. BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT MAKES SEOUL LOOK ATTRATIVE.

    4. AN OK IDEA

    5. TRUE. BUT AGAIN, KOREA IS SO SMALL. NOT POSSIBLE.

    - Well i hope you enjoy your life in Seoul! or maybe you're gone by now? haha

  • @imlivinitupniggaz If you're going back US boy, clean up the trash on your dirty streets and subways. Its unpleasant. But while you are staying in Korea don't make any trouble OK?

  • I like hugs ^^ people should hug more

  • luv it ^-^

  • i was just there a few weeks ago i can recognize some of the shops in insadong...i was born in Busan but i was adopted and this summer was the first time i ever visited korea...now that im back i miss it more than anything...this video makes me cry

  • kaisakinon - no wonder why Koreans hate you! LOL! Why are you even here?

    I support Koreans in their fight against you pathetic Japanese losers! Just go away and stay away.

  • that is just the sweetest thing ever!!!!

    ^_^

  • Also, "Free Hugs" in developed countries are a waste of time as you people should have been able to take care of yourself better than those in developing countries. If not, then all of you are hopeless and should die instead.

  • Well, do you think that dude can afford money to go to africa and hug? No. But can he in Korea? Yeah. Might as well do it in Korea. If you've never been to big cities, people turn a bit colder toward strangers. Hugging is something really rare in cities. Hugging is a basic sign of love. Not only developing countries need it, but those in developed nations as well.

  • He can raise a fund. People would donate to make the lives of those living in developing countries better?

    Sure, developed countries may need it, but the priority should be given to developing countries. What are the problems faced by the urban people as compared to that suffered by the rural people? Whose position is worse really?

  • He can't raise money by doing FREE hugs... lol. Priority is the undeveloped nations. Rather than one person trying to help the, doing free hugs to spread some love would be more effective in helping Africa in a broader POV? besides, everyone have different thoughts and I doubt this guy thinks the way you do. Perhaps you can try raising money instead of telling the free hugs guy to do it?

  • I prefer to hug the North Koreans, who seemed to live even worse lives than you people in developed countries.

    So count your blessings!

  • No.

  • hihi i was there! love free hugs!

  • Hugging you for free is just as well~

  • huh?

  • Everybody should give free hugs

  • annyeonghaseyo! hug chuseyo? ^^

  • annyeonghaseyo! hug chuseyo? ^^

  • that takes courage, i should totally do this some time soon

  • Kool Im doing that when i go to Korea in June

  • You know, I see a lot of negitive things in the world, but this reminds me that there are also good things also.

    Thanks.

  • 무료로  안아드려요

  • Yay! You come back this October or so! :D I'm going to do this when my town (New Jersey state of US) has their fair (the streets fill up with many people to celebrate). :D I hope to get video footage and post!

    (Yay to The Sick Puppies for helping start this)

  • Free hugs in Korea, Japan is beautiful; but in China, no one dare to hug or trys to; even when they tries, chinese gets arrested by police because the ideology

  • oh... that's so sad. I hope when (and if) China improves its human rights, the Free Hugs campaign there will bloom as well.

  • Very nice video. :)

    There can never be too many Free Hugs in the world. ;)

  • Hear, hear!

  • cool....lol

  • 잘생겼다 헐 ㅡㅠ ㅋㅋ

  • i am gonna go out and do this

    just because its against the law

    && it'll make people smile

    yupyup

  • YAYYY i live near insadong!! :D:D

  • lol cussing and hating aside, This is just a lil bit of what the world needs more of. This is a guy that, despite the struggles HE may have in his life, puts the struggles aside to care for people he'll most likely never see again.

    Awkward? sure.

    Kinda weird? sure, but Only because we don't show enough to even those we call close to our hearts. so putting all disagreements aside, let's just smile from the warmth this guy has in his heart. He makes me jealous I wish i were as brave as he.

  • this vid makes me smile. you are brave dude. lol I wanna give it a shot

  • that is good

  • i wanna give it a try ,hug

    me too peeps

    i badly need it...

  • i like that song.

  • Your commaent research very hard but beneficial korea people is brave and admirable. I crude english sorry if korea bad tolking is ded! japanes.

  • I'm not really understanding why there are so many ass wipes in here. Why did you even bother searching for either "korea" or "freehugs" if you were so careless about them. Just admit that he is doing something that is very brave and admirable. If there are haters comenting here without thinking, it defeats the purpose of this video. Just don't F***ing watch it if you really don't care. And if you are just leaving these idiotic comments just to please your idiotic-selves, then shut the f**k up.

  • 아랫글.. ko2es씨에게 하는 말이였습니다.

  • japanese! why say badly with korea? i dont like japan get out of world!

  • you fuck

  • free fuck is proper in case of korean gook.

  • It's funny I have lived in Korea for (almost) 3 years. I see these signs all the time. It's only now seeing the string of people that it affects that I realize that given their usual timidness and resistance to express (public)emotion, this is a great thing, not only for Korea(ns) but for those that are willing to participate. Thanks for the new persepctive.

  • Huges from Madrid!

  • Hugs sorry XD

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

  • Aww, it's so cute, when they bow. It's polite too :) And some of the girls are cute, cause they giggle a lot.

  • please don't say badly about this cool video. japanese always wanna say badly everything that is connected with korea.

  • insadong !!!

  • Hugz from Norway! keep it up!

  • 훈훈해지는데?!나도인사동가서안겨버리고싶다!!!!!!

  • I'd give you a hug!

    I got to try this when I make it to South Korea.

  • thank you, Hugs from Texas. USA

  • 근데 이 영상 왜 하신거에요 ;; ??? 제가 볼때는 그냥 만들기 위해 억지로 포옹하는것처럼 보이네요 ..

  • 그따위로 생각하는 이유는?

  • ko2es has never been hugged by anyone, so have no clue the importance of warm hearted action.

  • 그럼 니가 직접 해보세요.. 하지도 못하면서 말은 참 잘하네요..

  • ko2es seems to me that he or she's never been hugged by anyone except him or herself. Just another empty soul taking up the space of this site.
