South Korean culture is truly fascinating

I taught English in Seoul for an academic semester, and I had a great time. Korean food is awesome (especially the fried chicken and BBQ), the coffee culture is great, and the city is fun and full of stuff to do, benefited greatly by the subway, which is remarkably affordable and reliable. The mountains are absurdly beautiful, the museums are abundant and wonderful, (I also visited cultural monuments and temples, even a Korean War graveyard, which was very powerful), and the people are super helpful and friendly. Slightly less than Japanese, but much more than Chinese. I recommend anyone looking for adventure consider teaching English in Korea. I imagine it's much better than Japan.

I was somewhat surprised by how Christian South Korea was though, with most of Asia being Buddhist, and Christianity usually being a Western thing, but it was at least interesting to experience. I did however struggle to make friends, both Korean and foreign, which is the main reason why I went home after my time ended. I had the opportunity to stay, but I had the fun I wanted and started to feel quite lonely.

pansori isn't really popular but i think it's fire idk

Maybe JJ can do a video on traditional stuff that we keep, not because its popular but because we want go keep the tradition

17:16 Pansori reminds me of the Griot culture (Djéli/Gewel) of West Africa. You can debate if real griots still exist today, I'd say that the culture has preserved itself into other avenues. In the US we have Gospel music, the staple sound of it that there's a single vocal leader singing and leading the choir, and of course the MCs of Hip Hop. In Hispanic American music, especially in Salsa, you have a similar thing with the main vocalist singing and the "coro" responding to whatever is being said.

9:48 in ITF/GTF Taekwondo styles, patterns are named with various important figures and concepts. What's named the second form in the South Korean national system is traditionally called "Dangun".

the Escape the Corset and 4B movements ("4 Nos") are transformative, liberating and powerful godsends for women and girls not only in Korea but across the world ♀️👭❤ kinda peeved that you didn't express just how dire it is in Korea for female people and the pathological misogyny and outright woman-hatred that is seemingly ingrained into the culture

Now do making a sequel of South Korean culture

Most of the traditions and cultures of Korea and Japan originated in China。 We taught them how to make kimchi and supported Hanbok。The song culture of the Ming Dynasty became the pansori of Joseon。 Their language was created to write Chinese characters。

17:33 Very similar to Cai Luong in Viet-Nam, which makes me think that it's just a Chinese rip-off.

한국사람들이 제일 싫어하는것. 저 재수없는 대통령 면상을 보고싶지 않다.

Join the army and volunteer to go to Korea. It's an all expense paid vacation

it doesnt sound like you respect korea like at all

I'm Korean. Pansori is boring. I'm not sure if even old people like it because I have never seen Pansori after the 1990s. But I have seen a band that converted Pansori to rhythmic music. This is the one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n83-3W7n914

Korea made the history of the ancient Chinese in Chaoxian 朝鮮 (Today Korea territory) into a historical TV series. Brainwashing foreigners.

Korean tradition is a beautiful standard (Hanbok) for pure white clothes and women clothes to show their nipples (Westerners Record history photos). Ancient Korean traditional costumes are pure white (the Korean people have been known as the "White clothes ethnic 白衣民族-history record name" since ancient times), Korean women show their nipples to represent the beauty. All Women use their heads to move everything.This reflects the ancient Korean people and thoughts.

Historically, Korean women's clothes show their nipples (about 11 years old. After they get married and have children), until they are old .(Westerners Record history photos)..

Korean historical dramas are 95% fake. A large number of Chinese culture and Chinese historical elements are plagiarized directly.

Real Korean traditional costumes (Hanbok)

In ancient Korea name "朝鮮chaoxian" (one of ancient Chinese city), . "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" (Today Korean ancestors) wearing this fully chest exposed Korean dress (hanbok) is an "honor" for many Korean women – because she has a son! If the woman does not have a son or has daughters, she is not eligible to wear this kind of dew suit – only a korean woman who has a son is eligible to show her chest. So instead of feeling ashamed, these korean women in dew clothes have the feeling of "I'm proud of having a son! I want the world to know!" The meaning of. At that time, when there was no scientific contraceptive measures, the vast majority of Korean women would eventually give birth to a son, so the vast majority of Korean women could finally wear "proud" dew clothes. So this dew suit is the real traditional dress in Korea!

Deliberately shirtless is a Korean tradition (hanbok), even in 2014. When the Pope visited South19 Korea, they also set up a "deliberately shirtless" statue to commemorate their tradition!

1910. Japan has swallowed Korea. The Japanese believe that some of the low -level Korean traditional culture and primitive (women expose their nipples and transport things on their heads) are very primitive and backward. The Japanese banned Korean women from exposing the nipples (the traditional Korean costume. Hanbok).

The Korean people strongly resisted. Koreans believe that this is a traditional culture of Korea. They insist on retention.

In the Korean capital city. As long as the Japanese see those Korean women who show their nipples, they will give them penalties and slaps. After that, the Korean capital city gradually reduces Korean women's nipples. They cover the nipples with a piece of cloth.

(But in the place where there are fewer Japanese soldiers. Korean women still maintain the traditional culture that exposes nipples).

Until 1950, Westerners were still taking photos in Korea. A photo of Korean women showing nipples on the street (traditional Korean clothing). In 1970, this kind of Korean traditional culture disappeared completely.

** "white-clothed ethnic 白衣民族" in history = the ancestors of the Korean .

Hanja was still widely used well into the 80s. You couldn't read a newspaper then without knowing a significant number of hanja characters

Imagine if Italy did a Founding Day for Rome that would be pretty awesome

Japan is now Korea's #2 enemy they have a new #1 now called Mainland Taiwan

A similar original performance art is fado music in Portugal. There are a lot of tourists that seek it out, but it also seems to be a source of pride & enjoyment for the Portuguese people.

Anyone know the outro music?

Dangon vs Glooscap.

I’ve read Japanese are known for being quite racist, which deters me from traveling there. Is it the same in S. Korea?

As far as I know，more than 90 per cent of Korea's ancient culture is of Chinese origin（The situation in Japan is basically similar）, and 99 per cent of its modern culture is of American and Japanese origin. So I don't know what's so fascinating about it, they don't even appeal to me as much as Turkish or Indian culture
