Yeah Because at that time, when I was like seven or eight, nine years old He teached us in our home After we finished school He bring the whiteboard And he teached us Arabic It was so hard Because for me, I only knew how to speak My father want me to speak and read And writing like 100% Every time he use Arabic It means like like you're Arabic 100% Arabic Oh, like you are 100% Arab person Yeah He really hate that when I speak more Korean than Arabic It was really tough when he teached me in Arabic And like food, every time my father cook for us Oh, he cook for you He cook for us very well Yeah, he's better than my mom's My mom I mean, for us you a lot A lot Every vacation I went to Sudan Yeah, since Are you been to Sudan? Yes, since elementary school I've been to Sudan every vacation How's it? It's good? It's good? Awesome Yeah, I really like I really love my country The weather is very good And people are so nice The culture is really really really nice So actually, Arabic Korean is not very common So do you know how your parents met? How my parents met Yeah, really nice story My father came to Korea in 1989 For studying He came to Yonsei University Like as an exchange student And he was studying in here And my mom flight for Arabic major And while she study Arabic My mom saw my dad in TV show Like answering the quiz Like Korean speaking about Talking about the Korean cultures My mom thought that He is really charming And like, yeah He speaks very well And then after a while In some Arabic conference They met And my father really liked my mom And then my mom decided to go to Sudan But my father told to every people Who knows in Sudan That my bride My wife is coming from Korea He made a rumor He was worried about maybe other guys He said like my wife My future wife is coming from Korea So you guys don't ever think about Talking with my wife And then after a while They studied and they said Let's do something like couple things Like they made some contract Or something something Then my mom asked like Is this My father said It's just like couple things When they Marry's contract And then he lied to my mom Good thing is because my mom was like She liked my father So they got fall in love And then after that After 3-4 years They get married And then I was born Romantic therapy Yeah my father is really romantic And liar Liar liar Sweet liar Yeah sweet liar Ah yeah it's a bit Child's question But which side will you cheer For when Korea and Sudan play Soccer My father used to ask that question Yeah a lot For me I will cheer Support Sudan Because I know Korea will Beat the hell out of them Korea will beat like 3-0 I know I know how it will end But if I don't support If I don't support my father's country It's gonna be so sad so Yeah this is important How was your childhood Childhood And have you ever been Teased by growing up in Korea Like bullies right Yeah bullies Yeah there was like in Elementary school That time was really not nice time In my life because Kids are mean Yeah kids are mean They say something clear Without thinking I was also When I was like 3rd grade On 4th grade When the kids bullying me I just start to fight with them Like fucking and bitching And my father came to school And then the teachers Apologize to my dad But since like in the middle school I tried to change my attitude Rather than fight with them I give them compliments like You know you're really good at Something something something Can you teach me I wanna be your friends And you know You wanna go to my house Like I have something cool stuffs Playing Lego with my friends And then in the middle school I met my friend He's a really really important friend In my life Like I can He's like He changed my old personal life He gives me confidence Like how to deal with bullies He gives me power to Like how can I say Force Not beating to other bad guys Ignore the pre-judgers And then after that I just completely changed Then I became really really A positive person And I didn't care about People who get beaten Or give me some like curse Or something They have their life So I just like give up So you change yourself Yeah I change myself Because of my friend Because of his Before that I was like Every time like Crying Like I said I don't wanna go to school I just wanna move To other city or something But after that I became a really really Perfect person Cool do you think in Korea Is there like racism or something to you I mean I think Racism is based on How you accept it How do you feel Because if my friend said Hey you little chocolate He sent me But I think like It's cute Just like friendly call Then it's not racism How do you accept it How do I accept it People in Korea Problem is They don't think it's racism They just want it to be like friendly They just speak it for friendly But some people get hurt It hurts from that Korean people are really nice But sometimes they just speak They don't have They don't know much about racism Because they've never been to racism In Korea there wasn't a racism Not like America or something So right now I think It's a more positive thing Because I'm a mixed blood person More good things are happening to me I want to ask that What do you think about pros and cons As mixed blood Like good things bad things Pros are a lot But cons are gone Then what is pros Pros is I can speak three languages That's amazing Arabic, English, Korean You speak really friendly You know my English is not I didn't went to other city Or something In Korea Because I think the brain Something like Language Because I was born in Mixed culture So in your attitude You became really more positive Because you have to deal with Two other cultures You became a very more Acceptable person You can consider one more time You can see the differences And then you can accept it You can see the people In other sites And you never get prejudiced This is very nice Because I've been there People who prejudiced me But because of that Because I never prejudiced people Without stereotype Without stereotype Without stereotype This really big advantage And I think So you're Muslim Do you think Korean people Are friendly to Muslim Is there any prejudice or something Actually Korean people Get scared Scared by Muslim Because a lot of Terrorism Misunderstanding A lot of misunderstandings In here But I think it's our fault It's our fault We have to change The free judgment We have to really work hard To change the bad information But if someone said Islam is terrorist I said like I just ignored them But what I have to do Is I have to change I have to go tell them No, it's not Islam is like this And the people Who do a terror Or something They're not real Muslims But I just ignored them I think in Korea Islam is not Really friendly Only a few people know What is real Islam And you know The people who came to Yemen Oh yeah, left just Because that problem People right now in Korea Seems doesn't like them Yeah, in slums or something But it will change It will be better I hope so That's a good perspective You think Muslims should try To change their side too Of course, because Our duty But not push Yeah, don't force Push If you hear People make a rumor Or make wrong information Then you can just tell them No, it's not You can't fix it But you can't start To break the Islam You don't have to Yeah Because we have our religion And they have their opinion And they have their religion So Yeah right We should list packs Each other Aren't there any hard things As Muslims in Korea? Really the hardest thing Is in Korea is Ramadan It's not about drinking Or smoking Or pork I know everything I know Korea like 100% So I can't just Escape I can't just avoid them But Ramadan in Korea So hard Because I'm working in The same of our country Embassy They give me a reduced Work time reduced Like from 7 hours To 5 hours in Ramadan But after that If I walk in the street I can smell everything I can smell people eating This is the hardest thing After that Nothing is hard If you just try One month Ramadan in Korea You can do anything Nothing is impossible I really didn't imagine that Like there's so many attractions Wow Are you missing? Right now? I can handle it You can drink You can eat Until the sunset Wow it's gonna be so hard Oh yeah Next is I'm curious too It's a serious question So what does Islam mean to you? I never considered it before What does Islam mean to me? Wait I really have to consider this To make me Not to do The bad This bad thing Because of Islam I can think Three times before I do something It makes me It makes you a better person It makes me a better person And oh this is the real thing I never trust on ghost or something Oh that's good Really really I don't trust ghost At the last So can you tell The people who are struggling As a mixed blood Guys Maybe your life Childhood was rough Maybe you will smell the sand Because your face Smashed into the ground It's okay After 10 years Or after 5 years You will see How privileged Your background And your heritage Or your blood Has been blessed You were born in two different cultures We have a different culture But it's not wrong We have a privilege We are blessed By two countries You will see After you graduate Your school You will see how Life How people in the world Needs People who can speak Two languages Without any Any lesson or something Like me Like you people It's really blessed Maybe Maybe you will feel like No I have a different culture Why why I have like Different background Why my skin color is bad You know what The color is not important The important thing is What's you have in your Deep inside your heart How much you love your country Or how much you see People without free judgment Because you know How it feels like So be brave Don't give a damn about the people Just give a shit Don't give a shit Wow So today I met Suhan And asked about many questions Thank you for answering me You're welcome And I hope Maybe I think We can take more videos Of course So take care And be safe And see you next time With another content Bye bye Bye bye Thank you Thank you
