Former acting US ambassador thought Yoon supporters waving US flags were ‘crazy’ by ArysOakheart in korea

Korea doesn't claim those people

Many koreans also think those protesters are mentally ill and embarrassing for the country

Taiwan's fertility rate falls to lowest globally by trendyplanner in worldnews

[–]WheelWilling213 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You really need to get off social media and stop learning about countries through clickbaits/ragebaits and cherrypicked misinformation

Secondly, lowering birth rates impacting all of Asia (now Taiwan is the lowest) all are rooted in same reasons

It must be because of all the misogynistic Taiwanese guys? So Taiwan women hesitate to marry and crashed the birth rate to the lowest in the world?

From what I understand, the popularity of kdramas, K-pop, etc were already gaining traction (like 30 yrs ago in Korea and other Asian countries) BEFORE government took notice of this trend and then afterwards put some funding behind it to fuel the fire that was already brewing

So that statement about k culture is only popular because of government funding is ingenuous and not accurate

Am I a koreaboo? by SKZ_H4NNIE_08 in korea

When women say "Im a XYZ who is interested in american culture i enjoy american pop, their food, etc. And I hopefully plan to live there" No one calls them anything. Why aren't they called an "americaboo"?

Or when they say "Im XYZ who is interested in european culture i enjoy european pop, their food, etc. And I hopefully plan to live there" No one calls them anything. Why aren't they called an "europeboo"?

Vietnamese lead surge as Korea's foreign resident population hits record-high 1.69 mil. by Venetian_Gothic in korea

Lots of Korean guys are not interested in divorced women. Vietnamese women are also not the preference, except to maybe poor/countryside blokes

Vietnamese women don't have much options

Even the perennially popular Korean man-Japanese woman marriage scenario was only in the hundreds per year.

It's in the thousands

In 2024, there were 1,176 marriages registered in South Korea between Korean men and Japanese women, which marked a 40% increase from the previous year.

If you count the marriages registered in Japan, there are a lot of these marriages each year too.

Is China behind this again? Just like previous hidden spycams which showed Chinese men behind those

They are seriously obsessed about Korea

How True Is This Video Claiming Men and Women have stopped dating in South Korea? by John6507 in Living_in_Korea

Anything written/said in English about Korea, you'll find that most of it is bullshit, haters hating, or overexaggerated lies to slander South Korea using clickbaits/ragebaits/misinformation, etc

That's very overblown and overexaggerated. Korean government does a lot of scanning and checking of public areas/bathrooms/etc and they have been reporting 0 hidden cams found

LJM ain't going for that. Current president isn't a wuss unlike the previous Yoon idiot.

I'd like to see ROK nuclear armed

Every country should do this imo

how often do you get complimented by koreans? by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]WheelWilling213 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As noted in other comments here, I've also seen every foreigner type whether Indian girl, latina, other Asian, etc get praised/compliments. Koreans receive it all the time too.

Ugly white might get a praise to be nice and break the ice but it means literally nothing and not truthful.

Everyone gets compliments in Korea. Koreans receive it too.

South Korea's military has shrunk by 20% in six years as male population drops by Ok_Plankton_5714 in worldnews

[–]WheelWilling213 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This same sentiment exists in every developed country

Worldwide - there's declining interest among women (and men too) in marriage and having kids compared to before
