  • I got a lot of aunts and uncles. Only a few were able to come, but they all gave me $10 and I ended up with $50!!!

  • @961Random that's good news! glad to hear you made it : ) 

  • How would you bow when meeting your Korean boyfriends parents for the first time???

  • @xiaochen1 Hello. I'm Jaehwi from Koreanclass101,com. If it's not for the traditional holiday like New Year's day or Thanks-giving season, you can say 안녕하세요 and bow your head. You don't have to bow like you can see on this video for the first meeting : ) I hoep this helps. Thank you!

  • @ChunSungYoun Yes she's full Korean. She immigrated to America recently from Korea.

  • @amayaJDB Is your step mom Korean? If she's not then that's why she may have done the wrong bow.

  • KOREAN culture and JAPANESE room...

  • My wife is half-Korean and she is not familiar with what that means in the background and I'm curious what that is if anything with the writing and pot because I'm american and learning all the customs of Korea. By the way thanks for the info because my wife family loved that I actually did the right bow when when my wife's grandfather had a major birthday. Again thank you so much. lol

  • Türkce "spirit" cok seviyorum :D
