  1. Typical of black people. Pick up the irrelevant aspects of the culture instead of usefulness like making TVs and other high technology. But I gotta admit it’s funny they are getting some of their own medicine. But unlike black people who are welcoming. Most Asians don’t want to embrace any African culture. Although, in Japan they love African American culture but they still don’t like us,or see us as equal🤷🏽‍♀️

  2. South Korea having racist people doesn’t make the country itself racist. Was the country built on imperialism and the slavery and labor of another group based on their race? No? Alright then

    Discrimination could happen in Korea to SEA people. it's mostly about uneducated, old ppl
    But that is not happening everyday. You see, discrimination is everywhere. Half this can be found in most countries across the world as well. Fyi.

    Korea has made a lot of progress on the issue in last 30 as it opened up to the international community.

    Korea has their differences, just like every country and culture has their own unique differences and set of systematic beliefs which will obviously be unusual if you are not open and used to it. But in my opinion, if you are expecting all these countries to act in ways you’ve been conformed to accept and leave no room for exploration and openness to the culture

    To get a good grasp of Korean culture, you really need to travel and live in Korea extensively for some period of time. Without having good command of Korean language and culture, you simply cannot judge Korea from a fair, non-biased point of view.

    life in Korea actually is quite nice. No need to worry about safety Convenient to travel. People are educated and polite mostly. Weather isn't bad. Facilities are developed and if you need help you can get it. While Koreans can be culturally conservative, particularly on which city you live in, people are becoming more aware of world issues and meeting foreigners. Korean food is delicious. Korea is both appreciated and underappreciated, depending on the industry. Korea is highly respected in electronics despite confusion of Asian countries, education, and entertainment. It is underappreciated historically. It's great to see Koreans respect their elders and develop camaraderie so easily. Likewise, Koreans are becoming more politically active. They are doing their best to make Korea an attractive place rather than favor stupidity and criminal life. Korean food is delicious.

    And the great healthcare in the country is another proof that the country is very safe. the health care system in South Korea is expat-friendly, affordable, and of high quality. South Korea has a national health insurance program that is available to all residents of the country is just one example of the health safeguard that is in place. 

    Countries like South korea and Japan have very low crime rates because of its strict gun control. It’s 100% illegal to own a gun. With that, since they have very low crime rates, many do not feel the need to own a gun either and vise versa. when a gun is involved, they consider it to be a national security matter.

  3. I don't think Nigerians make movies to have other people reciprocate.
    Many Ghanians have featured in Nollywood movies, last time when some Nigerians were to feature in a movie titled A COUNTRY CALLED GHANA, the Ghanian community were against the idea of Nigerians featuring in their movies that they organized TV shows and radio station discussions about it. But after that, a Ghanaian a featured in the recently released TOKUNBO and some were being casted for the popular Yoruba series ANIKULAPO.

    What I learnt about South Koreans is that they discriminate against people from poor countries or countries that are underdeveloped compared to theirs and they welcome people from Europe and America and I think they are still under this white supremacy shit and they as a people are still seeking validation from the west.

    Sometimes ago their president went to U.S and he sang an American song during dinner to impress the host. They have a very strong urge for validation and the funny thing is that no matter how hard they try, the West will always treat them as the same way they treat an average Indian or Chinese person and will always refer to them as Asians. It's surprising that theu don't know that an average American sees and treats anybody from Thailand as Korea as Chinese.

    However I do not think this movie was made for the Korean audience. An average Nigerian student watches Korean movie even during exams. Honestly I can say it for a fact that the Korean audience in Nigeria is larger than the American or Bollywood or Nollywood audience. It's not surprising because majority of ladies watch kdrama and the female gender is arguably the larger population in Nigeria compared to the men. It's strange to see a Nigerian teenage girl who doesn't watch Kdrama. I am not in the mind of the filmmakers but I think they want to bring back the Nigerian audience by having them look inward to see the same quality they seek outside the continent.

    Reviews shows that the production quality was top notch even for a YouTube production and basically that's what you get from Kdramas. I personally do not see it as anything else other than an attempt to bring back the attention of Nigerian Kdrama audience to Nollywood. We're not trying to get them to reciprocate, we've made movies that feature locations in the U.K and other countries including S.A and I've never seen them reciprocate such acts not even the South Africans and we didn't complain about it. It's just filmmaking, money making and name making.

    Nollywood is too big to seek validation from them, in movie production Nollywood is bigger than Korean film industry. Let's not talk about their production scale but let's look at their audience both local and international. They can't compete not even in the last two years so this is not us looking for validation.

    South Koreans might be racists but they've been consuming Nigerian contents for a while now. There's a movie titled BLACK BOOK many Nigerians haven't seen it but that movie was on the top ten most watched movie in South Korea for a week and the languages spoken in the movie were Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and English. Maybe they hate people but trust me, they don't hate Nigerian content. Cos their YouTubers made so many videos about Kizz Daniel's twe twe with Davido and their reviews were positive.

  4. You know there's a Yoruba saying that calls people who do what you are doing "omoale" Even the So called civilized nations don't criticise themselves at all. So what do you stand to benefit from all these nonsense that you are always airing? You are a disgrace
    You are not intelligent enough to present intelligent topics. You are a washed out product from who knows where?

  5. As Korean, I can agree and disagree about Koreans are least welcoming people in the Asia. Korea experienced colonialism/dictatorship/civil war in last 100 years just like many African nations; and we managed our nation from 3rd world nation to top 10 nations in the world. How, we sacrificed our personal lives, families, privacies, and persuade of happiness… why, because we think we can not have anything before the security of nation, which means we have to succeed in a group before individuals. Now, as you mentioned, Korea may not welcomes to other Asians, but, I can say, we have had very strong identity as "us" and "others" because of our historical experience. we also need time to learn about others and leand to how to behave to others. So far, we only had very harsh experience from others.

  6. Nigerians are our biggest set back in Africa , your population can barely read or write and here u are acting a movie in Korean language how slow can u be 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

  7. Point of correction dear sis, I live and work in Korea as an English teacher and I am from S. Africa. I have been here for 17 years and I love it here. I beg to differ with you dear, not all Koreans are evil, maybe 2% of them are. Let's not generalize and portray tarnishing images about other people especially on social media please. I can't dispute the fact that there are good and bad people in every country. The Koreans friends I have are very kind and humble and very generous. I can't say that because one Nigerian duped me then all Nigerians are scammers. I can't say because one South African doesn't like Nigerians then all South Africans are Xenophobic.

  8. We Nigerians are very talented and have no time for a dull moment. Na our bad government dey stress us , if not, Nigeria for be like Dubai in Africa because we have the resources. Cudos to them and hope they strive more ✌️

    Asian countries are too ræcist…
