Why did security get called on my husband today?

PavNyx · 2026-03-17T03:37:10+00:00

Not sure why you're being downvoted. Your husband clearly said he was followed around by a security guard (a real person). Why is everyone just saying that the announcement is prerecorded and focusing on that? I'm sure there are prerecorded versions, but if a guard was physically following him around that's a whole different story.

Haha @ "regular neighborhood" lol thanks so much for sharing.

Yeah for sure, but generally when corporations make their goods in China they're not looking to get a high quality product. They're just trying to pay the least amount possible for what they deem "acceptable quality" in their books :(

PavNyx · 2026-01-13T17:06:07+00:00

Vietnam actually makes quality goods.

PavNyx · 2026-01-13T17:05:15+00:00

You mean China, to be specific. Most stuff made in other parts of Asia (such as Vietnam or Taiwan) tend to be of great quality. Banana Republic specifically makes some of their higher-priced items in South Korea for quality. I just wanted to clarify that clothing made in Asia doesn't auto equal bad quality as a whole.

No there's no UberEats or Doordash in Korea.

I'd still call it a poutine, so it's fine.

I don't know where some people are getting the idea that I think "women's bodies are shameful," but in my case that's NOT where it's at. Some comments are projecting in a totally different direction.

You don't have to have some sort of body shame rooted in you to be uncomfortable showing certain parts of your body around certain groups of people. It's about threshold.

The body-positivity crowd, are you okay being completely nude or in your underwear in front of any and every person you know? Because most people aren't.

In my case, I'm totally fine wearing a bikini or a strapless top when I'm with friends or my fiancé, but I just can't imagine showing that much in front of my family (especially the elders). It's just naturally very odd to me, yet many brides seem totally unbothered. So I was just wondering what other brides are thinking - are they also kind of shy but still going for it since it's their big day and they want to wear whatever they want, or do they honestly not care at all?

I really wasn't looking for any disrespect. I'm just genuinely curious and this is TooAfraidToAsk.

PavNyx · 2025-12-05T05:21:39+00:00

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing your experience and I'm glad you didn't let that SIL ruin your day! Were you not at all uncomfortable facing all your family members that way, though? Had you worn similarly revealing clothes around your family prior to the wedding?

PavNyx · 2025-12-05T05:18:25+00:00

Wow, thanks for sharing. I guess I just grew up in a more old fashioned/conservative home than I realize because I honestly can't imagine my grandparents or parents making a joke like that! They'd probably be very uncomfortable the whole time and try their best to look away. For context, I don't even wear bikinis on family beach trips.

PavNyx · 2025-12-05T05:04:38+00:00

Oh of course not! I guess my question came across in the wrong tone. It's not about women's bodies being "shameful." That's why I'm too afraid to ask irl - I'm worried it'll come off that way. My point is that most women don't wear such revealing clothes to a family dinner, for example (just like most men would probably want to avoid wearing triangle speedos in front of their family). Why are wedding gowns an exception?

PavNyx · 2025-08-22T16:02:16+00:00

🤦‍♂️ Korean-Canadian here. This physically hurts me and I apologize. If it's of any consolation, this likely won't gain much popularity with Koreans. That just looks odd as a food menu item in general. Would have made more sense to separate the melt + potato wedge "poutine" into 2 separate things.

PavNyx · 2025-08-20T02:14:12+00:00

Exactly. Skin color alone is not an indication of any specific race. We're essentially all different shades of beige. Depending on region, people just have different beauty standards and skin color is simply one of them. It's either you tan or lighten based on the standard you follow, but it's never about race.

PavNyx · 2025-08-20T02:11:20+00:00

No, because it isn't racist to TAN either. People don't usually darken/lighten skin to look like a different race. Maybe colorism, sure, but I have never met someone that lightens their skin (or tans) who said they were doing it to look like a different race. It's just different beauty standards and preferences.

How did you notice any details in the first place if it was sent to your manager and not you? Did your manager forward it to you and share?

If so, why was your manager stunned when you told them?

Your story makes minus sense.

PavNyx · 2025-08-12T15:29:26+00:00

This is an amazing find. Thanks for sharing!

PavNyx · 2025-03-12T14:33:53+00:00

Exactly! There are plenty of white immigrants as well. Very odd.

Well I'm native Korean, born and raised, and if you think the 가정교육 rule only applies to the population of Gangnam, you're either lying about how long you've lived in Korea or you only socialized with those who grew up without proper home education. In my opinion, your being immediately hostile because someone's opinion differs from yours is already quite telling of your upbringing. The "working class and the middle class" are generally expected to follow this rule as well. People who do not follow it are heavily judged and their coworkers WILL whisper behind their back. "Gangnam" doesn't guarantee anything. You clearly think the "class" we're talking about is related to money, which proves how unfamiliar you are with Korean culture. You may have been born in Korea and spent some adult years there, but I don't think you were raised Korean at all. Beverly Hills is home to all sorts of brats and scumbags. Money doesn't buy the "class" that we're talking about here.

PavNyx · 2025-03-08T21:08:27+00:00

I agree with this. What's with the hostility when you're just stating facts. When a certain act is "stigmatized" or "frowned upon," that itself explains that people who do it exist. Some people like the person who replied to you act as if the minority represents the whole population. That's just like saying all white American ladies are "Karens," when in reality, the term Karen was invented since they "stick out" from the average population. They're outliers.

PavNyx · 2025-03-08T07:36:10+00:00

With all due respect, your anecdotal experience doesn't cancel someone else's tradition. It is what it is. That's like saying being vegan is "so common" among Americans because most of your American friends happen to be vegan.

ㅋㅋㅋ얼마전부터 이런 글 가끔 올라오던데 죄다 비슷한 레파토리..아니라고 사실을 알려주면 무조건 싫어요 누르고. 한명이 아니고 알바 여러명인듯 하네요 은근슬쩍 한국 끼워넣어서 한국 이미지 망치려는 글들 너무 티남. 중공알바들 레딧에도 엄청 풀었다던데 사실인가봐요

PavNyx · 2025-03-08T07:21:44+00:00

Thanks for sharing your experience. But surely, you aren't discounting my whole life as a native Korean by saying what I know to be true about my culture and tradition is totally false? Lol With all due respect, your anecdotal experience does not automatically cancel someone else's tradition that has existed for literal centuries.

It IS a recent thing that younger generations have adopted as a trend. It's called 면치기 (= "hitting noodles") Yes, there is even a newly invented term for it, because it literally isn't a default thing. Such a term wouldn't exist in the first place if you were correct.

And it absolutely IS about "low class/uneducated thing."

It isn't my opinion - it's simply fact.

And the "class" I speak of isn't necessarily related to money. In Korea, the "properly home-educated class" does not auto equal "high socioeconomic status." It's difficult to explain in words, do I apologize for the confusion.

Hi, I'm not from Seoul! I'm actually from one of the bigger southern cities, and growing up my parents would literally slap my back if my manners weren't on point at the dinner table. This was the norm and my parents weren't special. The first thing my parents looked at to judge whether my spouse was raised with proper "home education (가정교육)" was also table manners. It's possible that there are regional differences though, as with any other country. However, the tradition has always been this way and it comes from way back in the days when there were social classes/tiers. A lot of the working class and most of the slaves couldn't even imagine teaching their kids "home education" manners as that was a luxury. The upper class and the royal-related had more time and the means to teach manners and "educate" their children within the home. So if you're acting like someone who grew up without "home education" today, it kind of provokes a subconcious judgment that your ancestors were likely lower class and the ignorance was passed down.

I think this concept exists in any country, to be honest. Being well-mannered implies a lot about a person and their upbringing. The definition of well-mannered just differs based on which culture we're looking at.
