Type of Foreigners KOREANS would like?

My daughter went to Korean school and when they heard her speak Korean, the elders were very taken in by her. They loved working with her when it came to traditional korean inki and brush writing. The elderly women would argue with each other on who was going to be her teacher for the day. When she went in to be tested in her language skills, she thought she was a beginner but she tested as an advanced student, Where did she learn the language? She learned from dramas and she learned Hangul writing from her Tae kwon do Masters and their parents. She is a 3rd degree black belt, working on becoming a master herself.

I love the word "cute" for describing foreigners who love Korean food. 😊

We Love Positivity... Keep up the great videos

Eating in Korea was interesting sometimes. Especially the older people in the restaurants smiled and watched me eating when I was happy with the food I had 😄

I lived in Seoul for a few months in 1997-1998, playing with a singer named Lee Seung Hwan. We did a tour, which was actually in Seoul except for one or two shows. I really enjoyed meeting the Korean people. I guess that would be "old" music today. I loved the food. Seung Hwan and our other hosts would take us to American restaurants at first, but we told them we always ate Korean food when we were out on our own, they started to take us to Korean restaurants that they liked. I think it is exactly as you said--that they were afraid we would not like Korean food. But most Americans from larger cities are familiar with all types of Asian food, and enjoy eating the authentic versions when traveling!! Good luck with your channel.

I am so happy I found your channel! I've subscribed. I am a huge fan of K-dramas, and have always been impressed with the culture, especially the respect that is shown. I am 72 and wished I had a better memory, so I could learn more of the language, while watching the shows. I do recognize many phrases when they are spoken though, which makes me happy. Thank you for having such a wonderful channel, especially for K-drama lovers like myself.

Thanks so much for the info. I especially appreciate you asking people to be kind in the comments. That's very sweet. 🙏🏼

“Someone who takes good pictures”…I didn’t see that coming 🤣🤣🤣

I am looking forward to my first trip to Korea next month, and I really enjoy your gentle tips for visitors. You are such a gentleman, in the truest sense of the word. I'm sure your parents are very proud of you. You are a wonderful ambassador for your country and people.

Korean food is THE BEST, I don’t know how I ever lived without it and now I eat it all the time. Love your Brittish accent 🫶

Congratulations, Danny! I love when the good people with big hearts get the recognition instead of the haters.

I love korean food ! I love trying new things to eat and not to mention your culture is such a nice one!

Danny, you are an amazing person. I've recently gotten hooked onto K-Dramas and Chinese dramas. I have many Korean friends here in California who've shared their favorite local dishes with me that I've grown to love. I'm Hawaiian, Chinese and Portuguese. Being from Hawai'i, I grew up eating all types of Kimchi and can't get enough of it. This segment is my first introduction to your channel. I believe that everyone should respect and honor people of all cultures, especially our elders. I've learned many basic words and phrases, and my friends enjoy me using them. Mahalo plenty for sharing your information with us.🌺🤙❤️

New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I've been in love with culture my entire life and I hope to save up and visit Korea and Japan in a few years and have been trying to find hands-on, trustworthy sources to learn not just the language, but the culture as well as while I think I've got a good grasp of the basics, I'm still woefully ignorant of a lot of the nuances. I appreciate the honesty you bring to your videos and the boundaries you place and I hope to use the knowledge I learn from you, and other generous creators to fully enjoy my, eventual, experience in Korea. It's been such a fun journey so far to learn all there is to learn and I very much look forward to more informational, and fun, videos from you. Your work and your dedication is appreciated.

Dan, I think you shared a lot of great tips for people not just visiting Korea but interacting with Korean-Americans in the USA. I have been married to a beautiful Korean lady for 48 years and even lived in Korea for 5 years. I enjoy good Gugak (Song So-hee in particular) and Trot music. While I can't eat the strong spicy food there is plenty I like. Before I ever went to Korea for the first time I studied the history and traditions and also the concepts and ideas of Confucianism because I was informed that if you understand that I would understand much about Korean society.

Thank you, Danny for a very good final message! Please, spread love and kindness, so badly needed in the fast growing industrialized world.

Dan, 안녕하세요. I wanted to say thank you for your time and effort in making these videos. I am traveling to Seoul for the first time this year with my bff, and your videos have been going a long way in helping me prepare and put my mind at ease. Through my friend, and favorite group, I have been learning alot about Korean people, culture, food, and beauty, and it's been incredible 🥰. So thank you once again, and I look forward to more content. Also congrats on over 100K subscribers!

Hi Dan, I trust this message finds you in good spirits. Congratulations on crossing 100,000 subscribers 🎉🎊 I wanted to take a moment to express my recent fascination with the captivating portrayal of Korean culture in Kdramas. Despite their fictional nature, these dramas consistently highlight values of decency and integrity, often in contrast to certain depictions in Western movies. The characters in Kdramas frequently embody admirable morals and principles, making the viewing experience truly enriching and inspiring for me. I dream of visiting Korea one day to fully immerse myself in its rich culture, witness its stunning beauty firsthand, and indulge in its delicious cuisine. Your videos are not only highly informative but also a source of joy for me, particularly with your eloquent English and remarkable accent. Keep up the fantastic work!😊

Hi Dan, thank you so much for the videos. You inspired me to visit Incheon a few weeks ago where some lovely things happened. I went to have lunch near Jayu Park and was enjoying a hangover soup in a restaurant. Halfway through my meal, an Ajumma, who I hadn't spoken to at all, decided to pay for my lunch! Now that I've seen your video (1st point) I think I know why she paid for my meal. The other nice thing was when I was looking at the Tri-bowl, another Ajumma who worked at the Tourist centre started chatting and she took me out for dinner too! Incheon is definitely a place to visit. Thank you for all the travel tips Dan 🙂

I had the trip of a lifetime visiting Korea over the past two weeks. Thank you for your tips and insight which helped me make the most of my trip 🤝
