People in Korea really love practical gifts like this and especially ones that can be eaten. For example, management at one South Korean company presented their employees with food baskets.
The Korean New Year usually takes place in January or February, depending on the time of the second new moon after the winter solstice.
South Korea is home to the most visited church in the world with a parish consisting of over 1 million people a year.
There's an established gift-giving culture in Korea with certain rules. For example, big gifts to teachers or public officials are considered bribes. And when somebody visits your home in this country, you can be sure that they’ll bring a drink, dessert, or fruit.
In Seoul, there's a subway train dedicated to a comedy animated series called “Larva”. It runs on the green line 8 times a day and features two of the cartoon’s main characters in every car.
Koreans are not very familiar with Western traditions, and they don't even have geography at school. At the same time, they'd be happy to tell you anything you want to know about K-pop singers and bands.

SUMMARY
-Expecting women in South Korea are given a special credit card from the government with a $500 balance on it to spend on medical treatment and all necessary supplements and prescriptions.
-Buses run 24/7, but they don’t stop at all scheduled bus stops. You need to be attentive, and when you see the bus you need, you have to signal for it to stop.
-In the majority of Korean supermarkets, there are unlimited samples for you to test.
-A traditional gift at a housewarming party is a few rolls of toilet paper.
-Koreans celebrate “Seollal”, or “New Year”, for 3 days: the day before, on, and after the New Year.
-Each kindergarten has a specific uniform in a certain color so that kids don't get lost in the crowd during fieldtrips and walks around the city.
-About 4 times a year, big churches arrange free visits to dentists and hairstylists for their parish.
-Elementary students have classes from 9 AM to 6 PM, middle-schoolers go home at 10 PM, and high-schoolers sometimes have to study until one in the morning.
-Couples use social media to brag, have cute little celebrations every 100 days, and even arrange romantic vacations almost every month and display their “in-love” status with the help of matching outfits.
-South Korean parents and children like to show their gratitude to a teacher by giving them candy or a cup of coffee.
-There are lots of themed subway cars dedicated to certain cartoon characters.
-Koreans practically never listen to music or watch movies from other countries.
-Modern Korean cuisine is really healthy. They usually eat grilled meat (without oil), a lot of vegetables and plants, and rice.
-You won’t find any trash bins on the streets in South Korea because the people there are super tidy.
-Office workers are now required, by law, to turn off their computers on Friday evening.

Hey guys! Which things do you think the West should adopt from South Korea? And here're some crazy things that seem normal in different countries kzhead.info/sun/npuvqpRpln-Dq6M/bejne.html
First comment
And first like,not to brag
BRIGHT SIDE, your showing pictures of japan, not korea. Please take more time to research carefully next time.
The public transport system. Convenient, cheap and efficient!
I love BTS
The weirdest thing is: Why is there teeth biting between each fact? And no-one mentioned the toilet thing in the thumbnail...
That is so true
Hahahhahaahaha me too!
Ya it's irritating
Lol ikr 😆
Yeah, what's the deal with the teeth ????????
This video is a mix of Koreans, Chinese and Japanese. The pictures are wrong.
Ya. Very. Id know this; I'm fully Korean.
Finally! I was waiting for someone to point this out
Thanks for pointing that out I didn't know that! Thx!

I'm Korean and I am really impressed with this clip but, there are some mistakes in the clip. 1. Korean people are really used to western culture and Music. As you know, in Korea when foreign singers come and have concert, all the seats are sold out. And in real life every Koreans know the new, popular pop songs. You can probably hear it in the street very often. 2. They also watch lots of western movie. For example, In all of Asia Korea has biggest fandom of Marvel. 3. Korean kids they study a lot but these days they try to not for the kids. Also elementry school(8~13years old) they end maybe 1-2 pm. (the younger you are the faster it ends.) middle school(14-16) they end about 4-5 pm. high school (17-19) the class ends 6pm but they usually have extra study time called "yaja" it means evening free study time. At this time you don't have class but you study by yourself whatever you want! And it finish at 10 pm. Before, everybody should have this extra study time but nowadays you can choose so some students they just go home or go to the academy.
Thank you
I am not a Korean butI love everything about korean
have you ever listen to Joy Division?

And that they/you love coffee is weird because you are not even close to top 20 countrys that drink coffee. South-Korean coffee use is 1.8kg, when In finland it is 6.6kg. Cyprus is 20 at 4.8kg. So for Finnish perspective you dont use coffee at all.
I liked everything except studying till midnight 😭

Can someone please answer me back why do S. Koreans immigrate to the U. S. if their country is so perfect?
I liked how they used Japanese and some Chinese cities in a South Korean video, especially something as iconic as Shibuya cross section at the :18 mark. Shows how much time they spent into researching.
spotted the same thing and was frowning the whole time when the video is going on... many things are common sense among us Asians and some are wrong like "dont know western culture or dont learn geography"... smh

I've been to South Korea six times...it is a wonderful country...Seoul is one of the most cleanest, safest, and exciting city I have ever been to...and the subway system!!! Not to mention the sub system of stores and restaurants that are on the level of the sub systems!!! And you have to go to the Lotte area...It's outstanding!!!!
To whoever decided on the chomping teeth transition: don’t use that ever again.
Its disturbing
Nah it’s ok.
『Dollamocha』 no it’s not ok you se it in the beginning and trough out the video
I agree and I am a few years late
Childish and unprofessional.
08:08 What?!!!!! I'm Korean and the ratio I watch Korean movies to foreign movies is approx 1:12. Also, I listen to Korean music less than 15 minutes a day while I listen to foreign music more than an hour a day. 08:15 We do have geography classes in school. It's just not an independent subject. It's included in social science btw.
Hiii I'm from India
P
I am American, and I watch Korean movies that are in English subtitles. I was duty station in Korea, and I fell in love with the Korean people the culture everything Korean. I even fly a Korea flag in my house. I am hoping that next year if I can find a Korean nearby to start learning the Korean language. My first attempt 4/1972 to learn Korean. My dream.
I agree. We do enjoy a lot of american pops and hollywood movies.
Wow....we also read geography in Social science subject..its not an indipendent subject...I am from India...and a central board student...and we use NCERT books..

Okay... well, Koreans study hard. But they don’t overwork themselves so that they can”t have time for hobbies. They study a lot, and this is why Korea is one of the countries with the most advanced technology systems in the world. Also, they know a lot about western pop and trends, so I don’t know where you got that piece of information. Most importantly: Please do careful research before making a video. So many pictures and the background music was Japanese.
Lol. They study like crazy and they dont really have life. Thus korea is 2nd highest in suicide.
torsha ghosh You do realize that this is an extremely offensive comment. You should never judge people who you are not an expert on.
Thank you! ^^

@@sixshot4 They have one of the highest rates of suicide among teens in the world...so it's not just the elderly.
I lived in South Korea for almost 4 years and Love It! I was in Daegu City which so far was the 4th biggest city, and the awesome thing about Daegu was that you have the city lifestyle, but if you get to the outskirts of the city you can still enjoy the seclusion and beautiful scenery of the countryside and their traditions. Of course, the best way to travel thru South Korea is with the companionship of a Korean National, but for that, you better learn, respect and earn their real trust. They are very friendly but to a certain point, until you earn that extra mile you get to see and enjoy Korea for the Koreans and not the normal touristy common areas that are really nice, don't get me wrong. But they have so many cultural places thru the whole peninsula that a normal tourist won't be able to visit on a normal speedy vacation. Their countryside and their coastline are so beautiful. Places to go: Gwangju, The Islan of Geoje, Pohang and Busan Fish Markets, Andong Village, Jeju Island, Palgonsan Mountain Cable, Of course, a trip to the 38th Parallel and many other beautiful places. About the food? Don't get me started there. OMG, what an awesome plethora of new and different flavors. Loved the Gamja-tan, the Kimchy Chigae, the Sangiopsal, the grilled Duck, the chicken from Kyochon or any other chicken from other stores, it's totally radical the way the cook it or fry it, the Dolsot Bibimbap, the Stir-fried Beef Tripe & Grilled Pork Belly, their fresh and raw seafood with rice, peanut oil, vegetables, and red sauce was phenomenal. I do miss South Korea and my longing and dear friends plus its flavors and aromas a lot. My mouth and my eyes are watering at the same time. By the way, they know and appreciate Western Cultures and travel to English and Spanish speaking nations on this hemisphere as well as part of their cultural enrichment. They really love Coffee exponentially plus-ultra, K-Pop, their taste of fashion is awesome. One remarkable and really precious thing they have as a Society is their sense of respect for the elders and family, for others and for themselves, they also respect the private property and take pride in everything they do. It's admirable, I never felt unsafe in there, no matter the time of the day or night. Thanks, SOUTH KOREA and my Daegu people for giving me such a beautiful and life lesson experience thru all those years.

Maybe in Skorea or Nkorea its true

@@Haarknoten96 what do you mean-
It's been over 40 years since I visited South Korea. What I remember most is how polite the people were to us. For example, we took a cab ride from Inchon to Seoul and the driver turned off the radio. We told him it was okay, that we like to listen to music. He apologized and explained that it was Korean music and we may not like it. Eventually he turned the stereo on and, while not western, it was interesting and relaxing. What I remember second-most is the antiaircraft guns on top of some of the buildings. They are probably gone by now.
Sounds nice
COOOL!!!!!!!!
actually when you bump into koreans in the streets they rarely say excuse me or sorry. from what i experienced but i feel that it’s because of how hectic their lives are so i don’t take it to heart
actually yeah they have that problem, but even they make fun of themselves for it XD, I saw Koreans making fun of themselves about it on a tv show program
how old are you(no offense)
Soooo funny. I'm Korean! There are some mistakes in this video and I want to correct them. Koreans know very well about world geography. Isn't it true that Americans don't know much about other than their own country? And Koreans enjoy watching dramas and movies from all over the world. The Korean movie market is big enough to open simultaneously in Korea when a movie is released in the U.S.
My love, Americans don't even know about their own country either. But they do assume a lot about others.
Me too! I'm a Chinese-Indian!! We love you so much, S.Korea!

If I was living in South Korea, I would go to a grocery store at lunchtime and sample a lot of food for lunch.
Red Titan the food isn't any good
I think the entire point is that they're ABLE to do this BECAUSE the Korean people aren't rude and only take a piece or two. If everyone came and stole free lunch, the businesses would have to stop doing it. Or have someone hand it out, like here in the USA. Obviously if you are in a rush and starving with no money and take some extra pieces one time, I'm sure that is ok, but if you abuse it, then it won't be around anymore. Obviously the Korean people are polite and follow the rules for the better of the group, rather than for the better of the individual person (who is filling up his stomach, but making it so no one will be able to enjoy free samples at all, soon... only thinking about himself. I think that's a big difference between Western and Eastern culture. Individual success vs success of the group being more important. Like in USA if you have to miss work, no one picks up the slack for you LOL, imagine? But in Japan if someone needs to travel for two weeks, everyone else will split up that persons work, so the business won't suffer and they can help their coworker. You're lucky if you can get one shift covered in the USA. "Every man for himself").
Red Titan Woah😂 I would love to go their too someday😭😭😭
It's not what you think. It's just like going to Costco getting the free samples. Same exact thing. They only do this at places like emart mainly. I've lived here for almost five years.

I love the new South Korean tourist films currently shown on KZhead advertising, it looks such a fascinating place and vibrant culture. It’s certainly a place my wife and I would love to visit but I think I’d. be certain to brush up on etiquette as I’d not want to fall into the trap of inadvertently offending as their culture is almost polar opposite to that in the U.K. One day I’ll get to realise this dream hopefully.

Love from India to south Korea
Hi. I'm from South Korea, and I would like to say that high schoolers do not study until midnight. They study until dawn. I am in elementary school, and I study until midnight.
4:50 Guess it doesn’t matter if It’s not actually Korea because people think us Asians all look the same anyways. Using the clip of the Shibuya crosswalk to give an example of crowds in Korea is like if they made a video on England and used a clip of the Eiffel Tower to talk about tall buildings in England.
Not really authentic video, as people are made to believe wrong things. They watch the video with thinking they get introduced to how south korea looks.
As if you Asians don't think the same about Europeans...
P Oksana Nope we don’t because I am an Asian living in America raised by white parents who is educated about both cultures. There is no “us and them” to this.
I noticed it since the very beginning of the video (0:18), but some people don't care. I just saw too much japanese in this video to think all of them were shots from Korea. Greetings from México

Ps I’m Korean and most of these things are false
I really wanna visit korea ❤
I would agree with you bc you are actually Korean, Brightside is clearly not Korean
Oh well I LOVE KOREA
Ps I'm NOT Korean and most of these things are false
Brightside has been exposed
Yeah I've seen myself the traditional open bowl in Myondong subway in Seoul. November 1996
8:08 that's definitely wrong..... I'm a korean and I watch American tv shows and listen to pop music rather than Kpop so I don't know much about Kpop (And we have geography in middle school...)
Im a korean n enjoyed watching. But dont agree with no4. Korean listen to western music a lot. I dont know abt teenagers now so im not sure if teenagers only listen to kpop or not. But 20s~40s listen to western music a lot even more than korean music. And holiwood movie is still more popular than korean movie in korea. Korean move is getting better thesedays tho
자기 생각을 일반화 시키네, 뭔 서양팝송을 가요 보다 더 많이 들어...;;
That's sad you know, because you should respect more your movies and music. As foreigner i think is cringy lol
Georg Skyborn the korean replies above us are saying that they dont agree that we listen more to western music which also means that we listen more to korean music. They said that the top comment (the one we are writing on) should not say as if we alway listen more western music than theirs. So my opinion is that we listen to western music but we also listen to korean music like 40perc and 60 perc
To be honest, like almost every country listens to american music and watch hollywood movies, often even more than stuff from their own country ^^ South Korea actually gives more attention to kpop und kmovies than others to stuff from their own country. And now kpop, kmovies, kdramas and kshows are even listened to and watched by more and more foreigners like me. As you might have heard kpop is getting popular all over the world.
My korean daughter listen to k pop kore than western pop . She is more keen to watch K drama . So do her korean friends overseas .
I have been in south korea. I love korean kimchi and side dishes those always be served with main dish , traffic light and pathways , garbage management and bike way. I love the festival there too. They always have festival and activities those are interesting and i love korean culture center at inchon airport. I always stop to get free experience there when i have time. My favourite place is Seoul park and museum. Korea have many museums i would like to go again.
Every time i see something great about S Korea, I always get jealous; wish i was from S Korea
8:27 ohh this video also consists bts. Hey bright side are you fan of bts as there are so many videos with bts💜
BTS appeared! Me: (screaming internally like ”aAAAAAaaAaAaaAahhhHhhhHHHh”
Same here
why most of images are about Japan and China? Even people in this video don't look Korean except for models wearing long coats.
They cannot tell. They just google "Asian women standing in front of modern buildings" etc to get their pictures.
I guess I’m not the only Asian that’s offended

I have been to korea 3 months ago I was impressed by the miscellaneous type of cold and warm coffee in stores, safety,fast internet and clean public toilets everywhere...i love being in Korea and it was the most unforgettable and enjoyable experience i have had.
Korea is not a country anymore
@@MichiganUSASingaporeSEAsia It is South Korea
😂 I, too, love practical gifts. Have crammed for school and have been seen as a workaholic. Plus, matching outfits! They're perfect!
The food is one of the most impressive cultural assets of living in Korea.
Korea is not a country anymore

Knew I should've subbed when it was at 300k....I could've said *"here since 300k!"....* I'm still not subbed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Those clacking teeth between items is annoying af! It's sort of like a fork scratching a chalkboard....😬
True but when I read the last park I just imagined the sounds.
Themed subway cars sounds cool!
