A video on YouTube of a tourist in South Korea is getting a lot of attention. The video has received about 700,000 views already. The video shows a man first at a restaurant then later on the street looking for directions to Namsan Tower. What the man gets instead of directions completely contradicts what the man had just said about Korean people a few seconds before.
In the last minute or so of the video the man is trying to ask two native South Koreans for directions to Namsan Tower, but instead he receives rude attitude and a beating. Not only has the video received several hundred thousands of views but also a lot of Koreans commenting apologizing for the two Koreans in the video.
This guy is most likely just unlucky and happened to choose to ask two people who might not be very fond of foreigners. It’s only slightly audible but you can hear the Korean men using very informal language toward the man. As anyone interested in Korean culture even a little can tell, that is extremely rude and it only strengthens the thought that the boys were not wanting to see or try to speak to a foreigner that day.
And as it turns out, this video was quite taken out of context.
Fun fact: The ‘tourist’ is Ryan, whom you might recognize from several videos from EatYourKimchi! Ryan is well known for suggesting great videos on the Korean Indie requests and appearing in severl of EYK’s latest videos. All of this is a joke, just so you know, but what’s life without a few pranks or jokes? You can find Ryan on Youtube by his username: BrotherBadlips
Have fun today and don’t take life so seriously!
