 Can I wear a hijab in ID card? On my driving license, on my... Wow, this is a cultural shock. Can I sit here? Yes, sure. Let's go. Assalamualaikum. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. Hello, I'm Daud Kim. Many subscribers and many Muslim friends asked me that I want to go to Korea, but isn't it hard to make Korean friends? Isn't it hard to be a Muslim in Korea? So I invite Muslim guests to ask about the questions. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Can you introduce yourself a little bit? My name is Hanan and I'm Syrian who lives in France. I've been living in France for like 12 years. What do you study? I'm studying chemistry. Chemistry? Oh, chemistry. Difficult thing. I will ask you a few questions. I am a Muslim too, but I think both Muslims' perspectives would be different. So at first, isn't it hard to make Korean friends in Korea as a Muslim? So what do you think about that? I don't know if it's as a Muslim or not Muslim. I think it's just as a foreigner. It's not that easy because sometimes Korean people have difficulties to talk directly in English. They can be good in English, but they're shy. So they think they don't speak English well, but most of the time they do. So we need to go to them because it's rare that they come to us. Most of the time, we have to try and talk to people at school. That's an interesting answer. I think it's not dependent on religion. I think it depends on your Korean skill or how you attract them. You're social. Yeah, I think so. I think not many Koreans don't judge people with religion. It's verily if they don't even know. Yeah, that's true. You're ethnically Syrian? Palestinian. Ah, not Syrian. No, both are Syrian. Syrian Palestine? You live in France? Yes. Is it different? You live in Arab countries and Europe and Korea? Living in our country was very easy to be a Muslim. But then living in Europe was really hard. And especially it's not just Europe, it's like France. France is the worst of all Europe. The worst? Yeah, it's the worst. There are some things that are easier in Europe and some things that are easier in here, in Asia. I want to ask you about the best food. In Korea, bulking, McDonald's, Nutella, KFC, that's very famous. Can you check is it halal or not in even the best food restaurant? We can... It's very easy to know if the restaurant is halal or not. And most of them are certified by a mosque or something. Because in Korea, sometimes it's really hard to know if it's halal or not. It's written, it's from Australia or it's from Brazil. But when I asked them if this is halal or not, like 99% they don't know. Yeah, they don't know it's this or no, they just don't know. Halal? What is that? I got this question a lot too. How is being a Muslim girl aware of hijab? You wear hijab in school too? In France? In France, you don't wear? Before university, like in middle school, high school, we can't wear. They don't all know to wear hijab in school? Is it true? Really? Yes, really. Legally? Yes, it's legal to wear hijab in school. And even on the ID card? Yeah. You can wear hijab in ID card? On my driving license, on my... Wow, this is cultural. But like friends, like when you hear the word friends, oh, this is the country of freedom. It's just in the name, it's just like equality and the need. Wow, I now understand, it's the worst country. And even at work, most of the time, if you're in contact with a customer, they don't allow you to wear hijab. Like in pharmacies, in hospitals, most of the time you can't wear hijab. Wow, you are... But it doesn't make sense. But wearing hijab is my faith, my religion, so no one can judge your work. The concept of laity, it's like we can't show our faith. So, go back to the question, how is wearing hijab in Korea? Do they against you or do they look at you a lot? I think they don't look at... Like sometimes I know they're looking at me because I'm wearing it, but most of the time they don't look at me because I'm wearing hijab and they look at me because I'm a foreigner. I think they don't even know what the hijab is. But sometimes people know and sometimes they talk. Like, I even had a guy yelling at me. So, at least they are not rude to you because of the hijab? No, no. Oh, no. Compared to France, I'm used to France, so compared to France, here is nothing, it's nothing. So actually, next question was that, like, compared to Europe, especially France, like living in Korea as a Muslim and living in France as a Muslim, what was the difference? In France, if I'm not wearing hijab, I can't find work easily. Even if I'm not like French, I'm not. But I can't find work. But in Korea, I think it's harder to find work if you're a foreigner. They want, like, Korean people first. But they don't have all the, like, prejudice and the stereotypes about Muslims and hijab girls. So they don't see me as a terrorist. That's really interesting perspective because in Korea, we don't know about Islam. Even we don't know what is Muslim, what is hijab. But in France, they know what is Islam. But they do discrimination. They seem like they respect every culture, religion. No! No. Oh, you made a really nice French. Because, no. Oh, that's... I want to ask you about the food. Because as a Muslim, I think it's really hard to find a live food in here. So how do you deal with that? It is very hard to find. Like, sometimes, in some weeks, I'm almost vegetarian. Yeah, this is something I really miss about France. We have a lot of halal food. If it's not in Itaewon, it's almost inexistent. And even in seafood, you can have, like, pork in the broth and soup. Yeah, it's not easy. I've always been good to Itaewon. There's just things to eat. I think it's going better and better because nowadays, so many Muslims come to Korea. So it's changing a lot. So thanks for that. I can also use halal market. And it's good food. Yes, good food, of course. It was very interesting. And I'm very sure that France... It's not all bad. I hope not every France. No, not every France. A lot of people in the government are against Islam in the Arab world. Okay, this is out of camera, but I think... It seems like when there is a problem in France, they say it's because of the same... Yeah, it's all with this. Against, they make the target. We're not even a lot in France. We're a minority. We're about 15% of France. Okay, then thank you for making the interview. Thank you for watching my video. Take care and be safe. Alhamdulillah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
