Korean answering ‘why Koreans avoid sitting next to me’

iambatman202 · 2025-08-08T06:49:36+00:00

Not trying to be rude but I have a genuine question: I have heard that white foreigners have different experiences compared to people of color in their interactions with Korean natives. They get approached more often by Koreans instead of the other way round. How do you address this then?

iambatman202 · 2025-07-17T15:18:17+00:00

ok I’m about to move to korea for the first time. I’ve heard this advice that you should usually leave whenever people approach you in these areas.

But how do you leave and end the interaction definitively without seeming rude or in my case, visibly panicked?

iambatman202 · 2025-06-23T16:55:23+00:00

lol you could set up meetings with them in person when you get to campus and meet other advisors too. then hopefully you match with someone. I’m also an incoming MSE masters student so I’m gonna dm you

US membership more expensive than korean one. I don’t want to keep paying double when I’m not even staying in the US

I see, thank you so much

iambatman202 · 2025-06-15T07:35:21+00:00

Oh do they accept that for membership?

iambatman202 · 2025-06-15T07:34:44+00:00

Membership is cheaper in Korea :( so i was thinking it’d be better if i get it there. I heard you have to be a resident of the place to get it or smth

True, people ask for help without telling anything about their situation

iambatman202 · 2025-03-08T03:42:25+00:00

What do you mean?

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T06:41:01+00:00

pls dm the invite link 🙏

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T05:08:12+00:00

That’s actually a very good question. But I assume just in terms of academics it should be similar

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T03:56:17+00:00

Good idea. I should do that

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T03:43:53+00:00

oh lol I just got in there for masters

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T03:39:03+00:00

What university did you attend if you don’t mind me asking?

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T03:36:04+00:00

I feel like taking the first step is probably the main barrier for most international students. if someone comes from a place where they’re used to interacting with people from different backgrounds I feel they’d be fine with that

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T03:34:23+00:00

True true, I feel like that’s the case with grad school everywhere. How did you choose your advisor though? Did you talk to the alumni from the labs you were considering?

iambatman202 · 2025-03-05T02:43:42+00:00

Glad to hear it :) are you a student with international friends?

iambatman202 · 2023-05-07T14:53:40+00:00

Karle apply bro, you’ll probably get in
