Obama to Korean Student - "An yong ha sey oh"

[kkamagwi]

He dissed Obama,  shoulda said anyonghasimnikka.

[HYESUNGSWIFEYY89]

@kkamagwi Uh, no. Saying 안녕하십니까 would only have shown MORE respect, but just saying 안녕하세요 is perfectly respectful. He also bowed, which is another sign of respect (and something that is ingrained in Asians as children). 안녕 would have been disrespectful... not that Obama would have known. But yeah.

[JoonMichi]

OMG He bowed! I love korean people, really really really really love them. Jongmal sarangheyo!

[attackfighter]

he came to amerikwa on his own free will? what is this world coming to??!!?!?!!?

[fffffffasgdsg]

영광

[alohahands]

search for "President Obama Speaking Korean"... Obama has been working on saying "Hello" in Korean for years.

[PunkGrl199]

**Annyeonghaseyo...

[alohahands]

@PunkGrl199 안녕 하세요?

[PunkGrl199]

@alohahands yeah...?

[dhksrksalem]

조건반사로 목례 ㅋㅋ

[Beatz1297]

@chopper0 know he would've said. Don't misunderestimate me. and then said sayonara. and then asked his advisors why they were speaking french.

[gladitsnotme]

I like how everybody cheered wildly over something so simple! LOL We are so used to idiot presidents, we get so excited over a knowledgeable one!

[alejadiaz922]

@chopper0 Pffffffffffff jaaaaaaaajajajajajajajaaja seguramente habría dicho eso

[infectedcalf]

"Are you feeling calm today?"



[pinkigirlable]

AHAHHAHAH bush would have said either sayonara or zai jian.

[Blackrosey22]

Please, Bush would have stared and been like WTF?

[SnowCavern20]

What did he ask Obama after the video ended?

[SnowCavern20]

I thought it was spelled "annyeong haseyo."

[Lilithly]

@SnowCavern20 there are different ways of romanizing hangul :)

[TheSingingAuditions]

Bush would have said konnichiwa

[Triniumm1]

@TheSingingAuditions correction: Bush would have said, "Que Pasa?"

[arjanganime2]

im shocked this korean boy didnt ask, "who is your favourite snsd girl"..

[daniyellowjello]

@arjanganime2 Why would he ask that? Sorry, I know your'e trying to be funny. But that was a little stupid bro

[ERGSEG]

@arjanganime2 lol

[PatriciaTuugamusu]

@arjanganime2 YOO NA!! lol

[MrBreakthewalls]

What does " dasideuleo bolgayo " means please ?

[endoh666]

@MrBreakthewalls It was just asking if you would like to see it again.

[MrBreakthewalls]

@endoh666 감사합니다.

I'm learning korean ( 저는 한국어 지금 학습니다 (??) ) so everything I can take, I try it ;D

[MrBreakthewalls]

@endoh666 저는 한국어를 공부합니다. more correct maybe ^^

[endoh666]

@MrBreakthewalls 네. 저도 한국어를 배우고 있는 거예요. 몇 살이에요?

[moroboshist]

@MrBreakthewalls It means 'shall we listen to it again?" ^^

[CharityAileen]

all this does is make me think of arrested development.

"annyong." hahaha

[BigBangVipKpop]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SO AWESOME :3

[SnowboardPlata]

ㅈ ㅈ!!!!!!

[Cammie010]

[TomoexNanami]

[KelseaRoxOutLoud]

[takatoekoe]

south koreans are one of the most friendliest people on earth

[asiansrock10]

@takatoekoe My Mom Thinks Their evil.

[asianchk16]

@takatoekoe awww thanks :) that means a lot cause I'm from South korea :)

[daniyellowjello]

Proof he was born and raised in Hawai'i.

[tttfrenetic]

Koreans are POLITE and WE DO NOT DISCRIMINATE! PROOF: this guy in the video

[kevinbollers2]

lol, its soo funny because everyone in the crowd has no idea what has happened, or what he said.

[FGN123]

@kevinbollers2 I think they were probably able to guess lol.

[jisandongcat]

안녕하세요라고 하니 자동으로 허리 굽히며 인사하네 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

저분도 한국어인사듣고 당황하신듯 ㅋㅋ

[InmanBach]

@jisandongcat 저도 미국에서 4년째사는게 정말 종종 허리굽혀인사하는게 반사적으로 나올때가 있음.ㅋㅋㅋ정말로.

[Karoke77]

It is because he had met South Korean President Lee.Myung Bak (이명박). ^___^

[loveholics2]

ahahahahaha this video is funny!

[xORIGINALTEE]

@chopper0 LMAO!! YOU'RE SO FUNNY. THUMBS UP FOR THAT!

[xORIGINALTEE]

WOOT WOOT GO OBAMA!!! AND THE KOREAN DUDE. XD

[RonaldR2007]

Obama loves Korea, North Korea!

[ccohab]

This is classic! The Korean guy bows 90 degrees as soon as the means of communication switches to Korean to show respect.

[dreamRcaid]

Should I be impressed??

[therealneon]

I bet Obama listens to BigBang xD

[okonomiyakienak]

@therealneon you're so funny... LOL XD

[iNESADRIenne]

@therealneon really? I feel he's more of a DBSK kinda man. ^.^

[xboredBITCH]

@iNESADRIenne Or maybe both, xD Since Big Bang and DBSK are the best groups in K-pop.

[DavidEatsPaste]

@xboredBITCH @therealneon Guys, you're both wrong. You can totally tell he's into SHINee XP

[Rokrhymer]

HaHa Obama is so cute!! respect from south korea!

[boscoblack]

im sure there are a lot of things like this the president knows, but i wouldnt be surprised if this is something he remembered from his early days taking taekwondo

[thisshitrighthereee]

lol i cant find a purpose to this video

[Verto9999]

@thisshitrighthereee that a US president can actually use the very basic language of another culture, yeah it seems weird but 8 years of Bush it became unheard of, you know, communicating with other countries.

[Akr1Kierre]

People from Korea are more open nowadays. Thats for those confused people. President Obama is an Awesome President.

[boobitah19]

An Yong, Ha???, Sey OH!!!

[mydesigirl84]

Obamas amazing!!!

[supatoker420]

Gotta bow, gotta be polite

[FIGHTFANNERD3]

koreans like black people

[jacob7207]

@FIGHTFANNERD3 no they don't.

[petiteasiahoney]

President Obama 2012!!!

[evilhybridchicken]

Can anyone tell me, is the pronounciation of the word the same for North and South Korea?

[morahano2]

Yes, it's the same. But the accent is very different like British English and American English.

[evilhybridchicken]

Thanks!

[with1226]

yeah it's mostly the same except maybe the accents in some cases.. since the two were separated for so long

it's like difference between american english and british english. you speak the same language and understand each other, but it's differentiable

[yellowman88]

you can see the suprise in his face

[gulmoh]

Can you imagine Bush doing something like this?? lol.

Ohhh, we are free!!

[blupandi123]

wow this video wasnt even about politics and was about how the president spoke korean to someone who came from korea. i thought it was cool because it was unexpected. having arguements about how he got into office with a sixteen year old is not what this video is about...well anyway this video made my day and put a little smile on my face. if you felt the same way please give me a thumbs up. :)

[CamButler]

I wonder if george bush jr knows how to say this.

[gulmoh]

Yeah right!

He'd probably looked confused at the sight of a Korean in the audience. Probably would make one of his stupid remarks.

[midori7474]

did that to piss u off sweetie ; D

rofl, and who's the idiot that deleted off their channel to save the embarrassment

[midori7474]

know what? i have better things to do than to talk back to someone who can't argue at all. ur points are becoming more invalid and can't counter any of mine. instead, u resort to making personal attacks and saying "u dunno anything". i said that one's success in politics doesnt = popularity among non whites. why are u getting so angry and disrespectful and personal? I pray to God u'll stop being so proud and rude.

[midori7474]

my point is that one's success in poilitics

does not equal sucking up to non whites.

do u think america's politics amount to nothing but a popularity vote based on race? as u boast about ur knowledge of politics u say nothing to oppose any of my points. if u are so smart and ancient as u say, why can't u prove me wrong? stick to the point. personal attacks dont prove anything gramps. u should know that by now, says the 16 yr old :)

[midori7474]

i never called u a kiddie, READ.

japanese wannabe? thnx 4 proving u know nothing about me. i am partially japanese.

[midori7474]

oh really, mr politics expert? psshhhh

if u haven't noticed, like 90% of the politicians in the US are white?

how the heck are they all politicians?

did they all use race cards? and seriously ur an idiot to post such a comment like that concerning this vid.

how is that relevant to this?

he said hello to a korean kid? so what?

kiddie? u know nothing about me ; )

[midori7474]

thats not the point. ur saying that one's succes in politics is how well they approach" NON WHITES". excuse me? what is that suppose to mean? racist :P

[midori7474]

wow ur messed up

[krypekeeper]

OMG he he can say one sentence in korean he must be a fucking god! get over it people, shit

[midori7474]

who's making the big deal? ppl are such hypocrites these days i tell u.... :P

[gulmoh]

ohhh hail the great Obama.

[DavidMcbadbad]

It's good for him to get to now peoples cultures which is why he won the election.

[kpayton]

this is why i love obama!!!!!!!! how wonderful!!!!

[DaliSalvadorAde]

I just said that! I absolutely look up to this man! I'm so proud of him!

[HoshikoMalfoy]

I wonder if Obama is a fan of Dong Bang Shin Ki...?

XDDD

[ANG3LDUST09]

OMG That would be AWESOME!!! XDD

Especially since Yunho and Changmin said that he was the person they want to meet most at the moment.

[HoshikoMalfoy]

I know right?

XD

[kawairemon]

OMG lol

do you know where I can find it?

I'm a big fan of DBSK

[kiri125]

I'm sure he has all their CD's xD

[HoshikoMalfoy]

I expect we could possibly find the Obama children on a video here on youtube dancing to Mirotic...or Together...XDDDDD

[leahcr85]

hahahahha i see you ;D

[TheJackySketch]

@HoshikoMalfoy i wonder that too!!! but if he is not he should be because Dong Bang Shin Ki is the best Group in the World!!!!!!!

TVXQ-always keep the faith♥!♥!♥!♥!♥!♥!

[alexmusicgirl]

@HoshikoMalfoy LMAO

[mommyscherryblossom]

@HoshikoMalfoy -that would be pretty cool. Thats an awesome group. Im definetly a fan! Love you and will miss you DBSK!

[dbskxarashi]

[ThePunkyprincess23]

@HoshikoMalfoy hahaha nice question xD he must do xD i mean, is DBSK XD

[100biochem]

@HoshikoMalfoy haha funny shit

[anapana83]

[cynth84]

[solomon0001]
