(ie China values athletes, a lot of western cultures value doctors, etc) We as koreans love to follow our superstars, in whatever form they might present themselves. Our nations soccer team going deep in the world cup inspired a vigor unlike any seen in years and now koreans love their international soccer..but only when Korea is playing. Just like archery at the olympics or speed skating. Koreans are kind of vain. They are absolutely in love with any form of 'superstar' in Korea be it an actor or a singer or a sportstar. They are the upper echelon of what koreans care about. As for individual professions it seems to me that the company you work for and how high up you are is what people care about more in regards to jobs, not necessarily any specific job. Like every young girl who wants to be a stewardess aspires to be a Korean air flight attendant, not some low class China Air flight attendant. Koreans are always really quick to assign value to things in order. There always has to be a 'best' something with Koreans. | ||

Is Korea the HUGE clusterfuck of gamers that everyone makes it out to be? I mean everything is relative, but obviously a guy that runs a computer store knows what a starcraft keyboard is. Are the streets littered with little kids running around pinching their nipples saying JAEDONG JAEDONG JAEDONG? No. they are not. But koreans do love their games. FYI there are definitely more people watching starcraft that almost never play/played the game than people who play regularly or semi-regularly though. | ||

No the diet naturally keeps them that way, though in Korea we never hesitate to comment on someones appearance even if it is something that would be very rude to say in the USA. Like "wow you've gained a lot of weight workout some man" upon seeing someone that you don't even know that well and are seeing for the first time in a while. It doesn't make people uncomfortable either usually. | ||

It's not that they don't like them, it's just that Korean girls are programmed to shy away from what isn't the 'norm' for them. I'm sure if you met a girl when you were shaven and she liked you a lot and then you grew your beard out it wouldn't change the way she thinks  Man I wish I could grow some chest hair or more than a spotty mustache. Damn Korean genetics. | ||

ah, that kind of fan ^^ ah right, i wanted to ask about that other thing. as far as i know, in japan the drinkers are, unlike in the western civilisation, rather older people, like business men going for a drink after work. is it the same in korea or is there also a drinking culture under younger people? | ||

Theres plenty of fat Koreans, but the % is very small compared to USA. Fat girls in korea usually don't go outside as often as they are INCREDIBLY insecure, so that also adds to the allure of the overall beauty of Korean women. | ||

Oh man. Korean drinking culture is HUGE! Everyone does it. School kids always staying out late getting drunk. Girls go sip their wine together when they are bored. They go pound the soju and head to a night club when they are lonely. Guys drink everything all the time every time for any excuse. And even if you go out and don't want to drink all the sudden your Hyungs are offering you a drink and it would be rude to refuse...then 4 hours later you're twisted out of your mind on the verge of puking completely unable to appreciate the beauty of the girls you are next to in a room salon with your Hyungs as they laugh at you for being such a weakling. Everyone drinks here! | ||

With a lot of the non-english speaking Korean hot girls, which is the majority of hot girls, they really don't want to bother with white guys at all. But if the white guy speaks Korean... But there are always the english speaking korean girls and they loooooooove the white boys. Just go to itaewon or hongdae and you're good to go. | ||

Very hard and risky, but luckily I know what I'm doing. And no I have never been caught It's really not about 'hard' it's just more about who you know. For a random person in Korea who knows no one figuring out how to buy drugs like weed or ecstasy will be almost impossible. | ||

Why would you be so judgmental? Your boyfriend is white if I'm not mistaken. And from your blogs, you seem to enjoy the company of white males quite a bit. It's just weird cause I've met many Asian girls who hate seeing other Asian girls with white guys but themselves are exclusive with only white guys. Kind of a jealousy thing? | ||

So yesterday was this offline 32man tourney in korea for SC2 (artosis qual'd and lost to thewind fyi) prizes were like 1k for first or w/e. The day before that, were the online prelims to qualify for the top 32 offline tourney. Spunky was 6-0 or whatever in his group and had already locked in the seed. But he still had to play one more game against a kid who was 3-3 and needed the win to advance to offline. At the start of the game, the kid starts yelling at him randomly using very disrespectful korean typing 'just let me win man u dont need the fucking win.' Then spunky is raping the kid and the kid types again really bad manner 'just get the fuck out dude.' What does spunky do? He types "GG" and insta leaves the game. In the channel the kid is like 'wow that was nice of you thanks.' "I'm 30 yrs old btw. only did it so you will come to the tournament tomorrow and I can slap u in your pathetic face." | ||
