You know what I have a story. One of my friends is Vietnamese and he glorifies the Korean race with their culture of food and K-Pop. He copies their style (although I think skin tight jeans and sweater vest can be attributed to other cultures). He's got the Taeyang faux hawk, blurts out random Korean phrases WAY TOO OFTEN, and online he literally (using literally in the correct way) represents himself as a bonafide Korean hipster. He also goes on a never ending brag fest about his Korean-girlfriend that keeps showing pictures of to everyone although she doesn't accompany him to parties.

He also has resorted to hydroxycut to deal with his weight despite claiming that he was going to practice MMA and boxing (which never happened). And at every party he apparently finds the need to remove his clothing no matter what the situation although his level of being an Alpha male is practically the same as a chihuahua to a Leonberger. At least his isn't fat and doing all these shenanigans.

This my friends is a disgrace.

I almost feel insulted reading your inane presumptions like these. I really hope you are trolling.

I'm slightly offended. As a proud Korean-Canadian (born in Korea) I chose nationalism over almost everything else in my lifetime..

One basic thing about korea is people are born with names that have meanings. There is no ' its just a name' in korea, unless the name is english or some other foreign name. Now she is herself a korean but she knows jack shit about the country and can't even speak the language better than some chinese guy. I don't know what to think of this.


the answer is korean is not chinese. korean names dont have meanings, that applies to most chinese names. i have a couple of korean friends who say the same thing as this girl, that their names are only korean names and dont have any meanings.

But the thing is, shes james ruse. Koreans think of koreans with high academics the same way hardcore fans think of their favourite idols, and while koreans wont admit it in public, in the back of their mind if they had to choose between nationalism and academics or any other form of prosperity, they'd be like "fuck korea, money >all"

So its kinda ironic and somewhat sad. Someone who would normally be considered a disgrace by their own countrymen/women would in reality be revered to the highest extent.


you aren't even korean, so what are you speaking on behalf of koreans for. PS, you're from australia; you can't seriously consider any school or university there as "high academics".

you did however, accurately describe the characteristics of chinese people though.

Edit 2 : I didn't do anything wrong so please stop accusing me of wrongdoings


you posted your (misinformed) opinion on the internet. and you're getting bashed for it

Wow, so a Korean girl doesn't know her parents' or grandparents' language too well, and isn't a fob, and you're calling her a disgrace? Holy crap, OP. Troll some more why don't you.

I chose nationalism over almost everything else in my lifetime..

To think some Americans were hardcore nationalists... I'm not sure I've met any THAT fanatical that they would put it above 'almost everything else' in life.

You know what I have a story. One of my friends is Vietnamese and he glorifies the Korean race with their culture of food and K-Pop. He copies their style (although I think skin tight jeans and sweater vest can be attributed to other cultures). He's got the Taeyang faux hawk, blurts out random Korean phrases WAY TOO OFTEN, and online he literally (using literally in the correct way) represents himself as a bonafide Korean hipster. He also goes on a never ending brag fest about his Korean-girlfriend that keeps showing pictures of to everyone although she doesn't accompany him to parties.

You know one east asian that is a total jpop / kpop wanna-be? You're lucky. My university is full of them, and they pester me more than I would like :/. You'd probably go nuts o-o.

Hahaha, this thread is hilarious...

I'm Asian but I can't speak mandarin... I guess I'm a "disgrace" then according to mr frodo. Btw, I do wish that I can speak mandarin though.

Also, maybe I'm being a little judgemental but I think that she didn't really want to communicate with frodo.

Are you kidding me? Almost no younger Koreans these days actually learn hanja, and therefore are generally completely unaware of the etymological meanings that their name may have. To add onto this further, many modern Korea names aren't based upon a Chinese-Korean system and thus don't hold any direct etymological meaning. My "pure" Korean name is an example of this, where my father did tie a meaning to it but it doesn't have a direct hanja transliteration.

You are such goddamned buffoon. Learn more about Korean culture, kk, noob.

LOL, this reminds me of some of the people that I know. I personally don't have a problem with those types of people since I tend to not judge or care what others do. The only thing I do is just laugh and face palm. You are right on the fashion part since urban fashion has been around longer than what the Kpop stars started to wear in the past couple of years. Of course people label it as "Korean fashion", which is false. I am Asian and I get quite annoyed that people call me a Jay Park or Tae Yang wannabe just because I have a fauxhawk/mohawk, even though I've been styling my hair like that before they started...

I dunno if it is at a point to truly call him a disgrace since you didn't post what he thought about his own ethnicity. Does he like being Vietnamese? If not, then yeah, he is a disgrace in my eyes

LOL I thought weaboos only applied to weird non-asian people trying really hard to assimilate into Japanese culture.

Actually since we're in this sort of topic what do you guys label non-Korean/Japanese Asians that try really hard to be a native to that particular culture? I don't know how you deal with that many people who act like that Hammurabi, but all my friends HATE it when that one particular guy goes on his usual Korean wannabe tirade- that's just one person, if there's more than one that I'd like to herd them all into a little group and isolate them from our group of friends.

I'm korean, speak korean, born in korea, and the only thing I see disgraceful here is your ridiculous statements


wow, calm down bro, i have nothing against people who cant speak their own language or dont know anything about their own country. But being that koreans themselves show strong sense of nationalism, i just find it ironic that they wouldnt see it as a disgrace.


Now you're just overly generalizing...

Plus, people can have nationalism without getting riled up over the fact that someone happens to not have as strong cultural roots...nationalism doesn't preclude some common sense understanding, haha.
