 Hello, JVs! A few days ago, someone asked me on comments How is being a Muslim in Korea? I'm curious too So I asked my Muslim friend I thought it's not easy to stay here Cause it's too different But she told me It's good to live here She said in Korea there is no Islamophobia They are very kind and nice to Muslims I'm so proud I'm Korean But of course they will look at you When you work down the street But don't worry They are just curious It's not hatred They look at other foreigners too Just enjoy it Like I'm unicorn industry I'm so pretty I'm so beautiful I'm so precious I'm sorry So there is no hatred against Muslims in Korea But there are still uncomfortable things So I will tell you this today What would make Muslims hard to live in Korea? Let's go First, obviously food I think it's 90% uncomfortable thing You know Eating is the most important thing in your life Right? Isn't it? Only for me But it's really hard to eat something in Korea Pork feet, pork feet, pork ribs, kimchi soup, kimchi stew, spicy pork plates, fried tofu stew Koreans love pork But there are reasons 170s Japan's economy developed so fast And they want meat So they bought a lot of meats from Korea But how to deal with the rest of the pork? The Korean government encouraged eating pork to people So the rest of the pork is pork belly So we started to eat this a lot That's it So anyway If you go to a fast food, step dinner, Korean culture They usually eat soju and pork belly Oh damn Pork and alcohol is terrible for Muslims And also If you want to eat something outside It's not easy either Even if you can't find pork in your food Korean soup are usually based on pork meat So you should ask first Before you eat Eat pork Second Korean people don't know about hijab well They're still kind Even if you wear hijab But there are uncomfortable moments For example When you go to hair salon Oh Korean hair salon is really good You should go Oh anyway Sometimes male hairdresser come to you Hey sir I will cut your hair What style do you want? Oh my god You should explain them I need female hairdresser And if you want to take picture for ID card Some of them will ask you Can you take off your skull? Oh my god It's rude But in Korea There are rules To show eyebrows and ears When you take ID photo So that's why But many people don't know this fact Korean government allow the hijab on the ID card The law was changed Look at this Hijab and turban is okay But bruka, jador, kimar, nikap is not allowed But some photographers can still ask you To take off hijab Then tell them Can you take off your pants right now? You are so rude No no no I'm kidding Just explain him Okay If you still don't understand Then just come to me I will take photo for you Kimchi Third Praying It's important I know Muslims have to pray five times a day But Korean people don't know about this well So maybe it's a little bit uncomfortable To explain every time when you pray But don't worry too much If you explain They will understand you Korean I talked about uncomfortable things for Muslims in Korea I hope it can be helpful to you If there's a wrong thing Please tell me Okay, I'm done So I want to say this Don't afraid to come to Korea I will wait for you
