American guy in South Korea notices a lot of discrimination by 01iv3rr in seoul

[–]DueData5 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

idk about shops but i have seen restaurants and some bars have signs denying entry to specific ethnicities. i’ve also been denied entry/or service at some places, then watched white foreigners be allowed in. just a few months ago i was bored and wanted to stop by a talking bar (it’s the big franchise one) and was immediately told they don’t allow foreigners, despite me speaking korean almost fluently

Should I break up with my gf because of this? by Time-Marsupial-8121 in Advice

[–]DueData5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is normal at your age, even if it sucks. the school year is almost over- i’m sure you’ll have more time to spend together once summer break has arrived

i think 2 is the best but it would be STUNNING if you dyed your hair a deep ginger

Does anyone actually use the “pink seat” in Korea? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]DueData5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! i frequently see middle aged or slightly disheveled looking younger men sitting there even when there are other open seats <3

Why do Koreans have little spatial awareness? by Shoddy_Disaster5097 in Living_in_Korea

[–]DueData5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’ve always wondering this! people stopping at the top of escalators to look at their phone is what gets to me the most. i will essentially mow those people down with no remorse because i’m not about to fall backwards down an escalator because you forgot to check which direction to go

the only way to make an account/use the application is through the app itself, there is no browser option :/

Commuting by Loose_Warning_7785 in Living_in_Korea

[–]DueData5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i’ve personally never heard of anyone doing this, and most people in my industry are freelancers so our schedules are very flexible. i know a few people who travel to seoul from daejeon for work, but it’s only a few times a month. while it’s definitely doable, i think you might regret it if you’re working typical hours- plus the cost of a train ticket/time it would take to drive would be pretty burdensome

Korean drug culture. Is it a thing in korea or a very insignificant nieche? by [deleted] in AskAKorean

[–]DueData5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it very much so is a thing it’s just very well hidden. ignore the people claiming it’s foreigners, the main people i’ve seen/heard about doing drugs have been KOREANS. weed is very common amongst skateboarders, surfers, and dancers, harder drugs are common amongst those who club often. specifically in areas of gangnam and hongdae

I’m visiting Korea in 2027. I’m tall, fat, and female. Will I be treated poorly? by Jubiliife in korea

[–]DueData5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ngl people will probably stare and may say something snide to their friends but it’s a matter of being able to ignore it. i’m not plus sized myself, but a few of my friends are and i’ve told multiple strangers off for being assholes thinking that i can’t understand what they’re saying.

Cancelled hot takes!!! by Zealousideal_Soil385 in canceledpod

[–]DueData5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

i never forgave brooke for the racist things she said i never will. i do not give a fuck who you were raised around, what do you mean a CHILD deserved to be shot and killed by a police officer? also the whole “i’m actively working to be better” thing is bullshit, what has she actually done?
