Hey guys, what's up, it's EL and welcome to our planet
and earlier this week
I was able to ask five of my Korean friends, four of them who actually live in Seoul
and one of them who moved to China recently to give us five questions that they'd really want to ask Filipinos.
So if you're a Filipino out there, feel free to answer the questions yourselves down in the comment section below
I'm sure that many of the Koreans would like to know your answers apart from the people who were part of this video.
Our goal here at EL's Planet is to bridge culture and inspire minds one video at a time.
Before anything else last Saturday, EL's Planet was invited
to attend Rampant's premiere night here in the Philippines
Somi, Ruth, Steven, Vicky and Maria... and I were able to attend it's premiere night.
It goes in cinemas nationwide October 25th, and I believe that when this video is out... It's [the movie] already out.
It's from the same makers of Train to Busan
It's a Korean zombie movie set at the Joseon dynasty
and we hope that you guys would like it as much as we did because it was really really a great movie to watch.
We suggest you watch it with your barkada (group of friends in Filipino) with your friends with your family
It could be watched with anyone as long as you're above 13 years old.
thank you guys for listening and I hope you guys enjoy the video.
Because of Kpop and Kdramas and Korean celebrities being popular in the Philippines,
Is that how Filipinos view us Koreans exactly? [What do Filipinos think of Koreans?]
What I think of Koreans is that they are very culturally rich in themselves. Like it's embedded in them their culture...
They know it so well versus Filipinos that we don't really do that and I kind of wish that we were and aside from that
They have really good food.
Kdramas like the budget that they spend on them. It's amazing
It's really a craft when it comes to the TV shows that they make I honestly think that these are points of improvement
For people in the country versus really like shaming it.
I had Korean classmates back in La Salle (Greenhills), usually they're very friendly.
Usually Filipinos such as my mom think of Koreans as rude people.
But for me since I'm exposed to Korean culture... "culture" since I watch Kdramas...
They seem to like the "aegyo" culture.
For me seeing Koreans is just normal since you see them everywhere in the Philippines.
Especially in districts such as Ortigas, Pasig, and Makati, they're always there.
It's really normal to see them already. There's no feeling prejudice or judgement when we see them.
They're like Fashionistas in a way...
I see Koreans as really posh people who are somehow
High-maintenance in a way like with skin care and with how they present themselves in general
I feel like all Koreans can dance they really have good talents, and they have really good skin
That's what I really love about them.
For me, I love Koreans.
'Cause I kind of grew up with Koreans in my old high school. They taught me a lot of words
Well swear words only...
They're really fun to be with, and when they drink they have a lot of rituals.
- Oh my God, Soju! - Like when they have their Soju...
They're like... "go like that, go like that..."
Yeah so, It's pretty fun to be with them.
I think Koreans are really cute. Funny. Yeah they're friendly too. They're really funny and friendly.
How can you say so? Have you met them at school?
I have blockmates and I have best friends who are Korean.
I used to go to a high school which had a lot of Koreans.
And they're easy to be with.
most Koreans. I've met really really nice and friendly
Well, I wouldn't generalize all of them because I mean they still have different personalities and such
But Koreans have brought to the Philippines a lot of joy and entertainment, especially like nowadays.
A lot of Koreans that I've met... They're actually very...
Different from the ones that I see a lot of them are actually very very friendly and they're nice
But the way they react to things its not how its shown in those Korean dramas
I don't know a lot of Koreans
But I don't think I would stereotype Koreans to the way they're portrayed in Kdramas and Kpop. I think that Koreans
I think that Koreans are very conservative.
Or probably mostly for the older generations? 'Cause I've been to Korea we were eating and then I compared ourselves
With the Koreans and we were talking while eating was they were just quiet and finishing their food
I think we have similarities in a way that we respect the elder generation. It's just that they kind of take it seriously
Hi guys. This is my question. Kpop and kdrama are very famous in the philippines right now
Do you guys have any expectations from Korea or Korean people based on what they show or do to make you want to come to our country?
Usually what they show on TV is not a mirror image of real life. So I feel like Koreans in real life are a bit toned down from them.
Koreans from what you see on TV are really different. As in, I never really correlate them with each other.
I'm like... "Oh okay, you have the same nationalities." But you don't really have the same personalities and tendencies.
What entices me to go to Korea are the food that they show in these dramas.
What they wear as well... The smell of their food makes me say "Where can I get that?!"
I've been really wanting to go to Korea for a while
I'm also into fashion and I kind of want to explore stores there and all the
things you can buy in Korea and I also want to try their food like how it in Korea
In the Philippines a lot of Korean restaurants are popular here. Samgyeopsal restaurants and all of these Korean desert places.
Unli beef!
Yeah ohh yes!
It's just really making me curious. I wonder how these kinds of Korean food are in Korea
I'm probably gonna be expecting a lot of well-dressed people and you know a lot of cute girls.
I've never been to Korea and I've only known their culture through K dramas. That's really how I only [got to] know about them
But then when I was in high school, we had like those exchange students
They really nice. They're the type to ask a lot of questions about our life
Yeah, they're really cute.
I don't really have expectations on...
Koreans 'cause like I kind of studied with them before their culture is really deeply rooted
I want to know what they like to be with 24/7/
Like to be with them every day or like the dorm with them something we have a lot to learn [about them].
[Kpop and Kdramas] seem to set an expectation that Koreans have to be exactly the way they portray/show to us.
But when you get there, it's really different in a way that what they show us on Kdramas seem to be exaggerated.
Everything seems bright and colorful in Kdramas, but when you get there, it's actually a really peaceful country. Especially during winter.
I don't really watch Kdramas, but from what I see from clips on social media. It gives me an impression that that's the norm there...
That's how Koreans should act, or wear clothes in a certain fashionable way...
But that's actually true! Koreans are really fashionable since they really give importance on the way they look.
Watching Kpop and Kdramas do make me want to go to Korea. But then I don't have expectations on how they are
I don't watch a lot of Kdramas but then through these I get the impression that they're so...
Into the "aegyo" culture?
Their fashion is super nice.
Yeah! Yeah the fashion! That's what I noticed.
They dress more nice... and they're more expressive with their outfits [compared to Filipinos].
I want a Korean boyfriend.
- Yeah, yeah! - They're really cute
When they're in a relationship... they're super cute and give a lot of effort.
- They're clingy. - Yeah they're super clingy, I want a clingy boyfriend.
I don't really watch K-pop or Kdramas, but I've been to Korea and I can say it's really nice there.
I'd love to go again.
the only time I've been exposed to Korea's actually the stories from friends who's actually..
been to Korea from the way they make it sound. I think I would want to go to Korea
I've never been to Korea, but I did have a Korean classmate
He was one of the only boys in the fashion course
his creativity is so different and I like how he's open versus Filipinos, and I don't think that the
Drama's would affect how they are. Although according to my sister who has been to Korea
She said that when the couples are really like lovey-dovey that's really like a thing which is sweet vs. here in the Philippines
where they kinda frown upon it.
But it's cute and I think that it's not that I would want to go to Korea because of a drama
It's more of like I'd want to go to experience the culture myself.
Currently. There are a lot of Koreans living in the Philippines.
What do you think of them?
And what do you guys think are the most uncomfortable things because of Koreans
When I was in the sixth grade...
It's half of my class were Koreans. Their lunch would smell 'cause they would always bring Kimchi.
It smells different from Filipino food. At first I was surprised but I got used to it. Plus it tastes good
so I don't mind.
They share it with us. They're super helpful in class especially with math.
I only notice Korean guys.
They're the type that when they drink, they're super loud. They're louder than Filipinos
you know how they're just like what three in a table, then they're just gonna have four beers or five
Then they're all so red already. They're so hit [by the alcohol]
They're all so...
- How? - That's what I noticed.
In my high school Koreans. What I did notice [is that] they like to group themselves together, which is actually kind of good
You can really see the unity in their race.
while Korean guys are loud, but I noticed that Korean girls are like conservative and quiet in a way?
Which is not bad. They're really nice people actually, especially the Koreans that grew up here
There's nothing bad about them that I've seen. But like growing up, I was a bit influenced by my Korean friends to have certain vices.
[They taught me how to] Smoke, and drink. But they're cool. They're okay people!
The moment when they bring chopsticks for lunch at school.
Ohh! Yeah!
It just looks really cool since everything's really set. Like this is where the rice goes, and this is where the meat goes.
It wasn't really an uncomfortable experience, but I was surprised.
I was seated with my friends at Starbucks. Then I saw a sign with Korean on it, and that's the first thing I saw.
I was surprised at first until I saw the english translation below.
And when they talk to each other [in public]. This doesn't apply to Koreans alone... Maybe even the Chinese and Japanese.
When I hear loud voices in a very quiet place... I get surprised at first. But eventually I get used to it.
Based off of my interactions with my Korean classmate there isn't anything uncomfortable because he was open and that I respect.
They [Koreans] have this sense of being true to themselves
Which I love and it's not like here we have to pretend to be somebody else
They're just themselves, which is great because this kind of world where people they like the same
They stand out. Especially here... not just 'cause they're Korean. It's because they really express themselves very honesty and truth are their heart
The school I came from before, Southridge... We had a lot of Korean classmates
Most of them are like really friendly and some of them are not so outgoing. So like I never really got close to them.
Coming from Rosehill, we didn't have much Koreans there
However, we did have one Korean when we were primary school, and she was very nice and quiet
But I wouldn't stereotype all Koreans to be such because those that I've encountered recently are super nice
The only Koreans I've ever really met are family friends. Them themselves are very diverse
They're very different from each other. I wouldn't generalize.
I've had a lot of Korean classmates back in high school. So far, I don't really have any problems with them.
Usually they're quiet and just stay on one side of the class.
All I can say is that sometimes, they have their own way of thinking. It's usually culture based. If they don't find it okay, we Filipinos find it alright.
Sometimes they're pretty intimidating, especially when they get mad.
Yeah that's true!
They look like very calm people, so when they get mad, I get surprised and it makes me ask myself "what did I do?"
Back in high school, I kept borrowing a highlighter from my Korean friend. I borrowed it frequently...
She seems not to like me doing that. Since the way she looked/gazed at me started to change.
That's why I believe that at first, they don't really seem like friendly people. In a way that it isn't that easy to get close with them.
'Cause what I know from Korean culture is that, If you aren't really close friends yet, you can't act like you're close.
There has to be a little bit of distance, unlike us Filipinos who are very friendly. We even smile to people we don't know.
This question is from Daniel who is currently in the military back in Korea. What are your thoughts on Korean-Filipino marriages?
How do you feel about marrying a Korean?
the thing is I had a childhood friend I grew up with her in school
She dated I think like two
Koreans and you could tell how much passion they have towards their partners
and I think that's really cool that you mix those things
Because well, we live in Asia and there are things that are similar
But it's nice to know that we can adapt and we can put it together
'Cause why not right? Both cultures are very rich and mixing that together, especially with food and other languages. It's amazing
I think that Filipinos shouldn't be shy about it some are and they are I wouldn't say discriminative towards it
It's more of just, they don't have as much exposure I guess with [more] people?
So yeah
and I think it's a good chance for people to really know the culture through the people who are Korean.
For me, it's still really different if you both understand each other and have the same culture.
'Cause there are still couples out there with the same culture that sill have misunderstandings. So how much more if you both have different cultures?
But i'm not really against interracial marriages. I think I just personally prefer Filipinos [for myself]?
But if it's just for romantic excitement in Kdramas, it's nice to think of having that relationship. But it isn't really ideal [for me].
For me, I have no problems if either a Filipino or Korean marry each other. 'Cause love is love. Everyone can love who they want.
'Cause why would you discriminate someone just because he or she is a Filipino or a Korean and expect them to be with their own race.
Reality isn't always like that. If you really lve a person, you'd do everything to adjust to the person you love.
I'm not against it. I think there's nothing wrong.
Yeah, as you get to know the culture of the other person.
Personally, I haven't seen a lot of Filipino-Koreans, but then good for them if they get married. There's nothing wrong with it.
I support it. Like honestly like I wish I can experience that myself
I think there's nothing wrong with it, honestly
I think they're really adorable people and I find them really attractive if I were to be honest
Oh my gosh, I just finished watching a Kdrama... I can't stop crying about it. I wanna marry a Korean!
It's actually pretty scary too. You know how you need to have both sides of your parents to approve.
And I don't know if this is actually true, but do you know how Koreans sometimes they look down on Filipino families?
That's also what I consider if ever I do get into a relationship with a Korean.
I support Korean and Filipino marriages.
But I don't know if Koreans have a "great wall."
Yeah they do!
They do? Okay! Oh my god. They do!
We've seen Fil-Ams, Fil-Germans
There's nothing wrong with mixing right?
It's just something that's normal.
In this day and age, it's really common to see interracial marriages. So it isn't really blasphemous or whatever...
Living in this world, we have a lot of "melting pots," so if ever a Filipino and a Korean marries it'd be okay.
It's okay for me as well, it has nothing against me, and I have nothing against intermarriages with Koreans and Filipinos...
It's normal already. What difference does it make from if another foreigner marries a Filipino?
Like Chinese, Japanese, or a Spaniard.. It'd be okay.
My name is San and I'm Luis' (EL) Korean friend... my question is...
In Korea, we have Korean as our official language. But in the Philippines, you guys have two official languages which are Tagalog and English.
I wonder if you can choose either English or Tagalog. Which one are you gonna choose as your official language?
Because the reason why I asked it is... I had a chance to...
Have a conversation about it with my Filipino friends.
And some of them are very proud of having English as their official language.
Because they can work overseas and travel overseas very easily because they speak English very fluently.
How do you guys think about it? Salamat po! (Thank you [with respect] in Filipino)
I choose Filipino, I feel like if other countries were able to do it and make it their number one language and the one they use and almost everything
Schools, or outside and I think we can do the same with Filipino.
But I still appreciate what the English is done for us.
Although I do like English as well
I would have to say I'd pick Filipino. I think it represents us Filipinos better, that we have our own distinct language from the rest.
To me it's sad/makes me cry. There seems to be a lot of Filipinos but they don't know how to speak Filipino
I'm not really ashamed of them, but it seems like our language isn't being used.
I read a couple of books using really deep Filipino words.
Our language is beautiful but it's not being used because we lack opportunities to use it aside from our Filipino classes.
Maybe when it comes to everyday conversations at home we'd use Filipino.
But when we get to school, more often than not, we use English. Especially if it's an intellectual conversation.
More often, if we speak Filipino, we use that to converse with our parents, friends, but here at school, it's mostly English.
Some people just aren't used to speaking Filipino, some try to speak Filipino but they're not accustomed to the language.
Maybe we can attribute why we learn and speak English in our culture where we accommodate/adjust to Foreigners that come here.
We're usually the ones who take care of them, especially because of our "Filipino Hospitality."
I think I'd chose Filipino. 'Cause we're Filipinos right? So we have to be proud of our language.
We Filipinos in general have colonial mentality that anything that's Western is better, higher, and looks better.
And we keep talking about nationalism and Filipino pride here in the Philippines. But we look down at our own language.
They think that people who speak Filipino are uneducated.
I notice that some people (of our generation) forget very simple Filipino words already since they've become very English speaking already.
One time I said "Can you open the fan (in Filipino."
Then someone said "Huh, what's a fan (in Filipino)?"
Then I said "It means electric fan guys."
So those simple words that are forgotten because of English and western culture here. So, I chose Filipino.
How would you explain to the viewers that you chose Filipino, but what you normally use to converse is English?
It's because of the way our parents brought us up. It was the first language we learned in the house. That's why we got used to it.
And in school, the education system in the Philippines entails and highlights the English language compared to Filipino.
For example, we only use the Filipino language for one or two subjects in class, but the rest are spoken in English.
I did grow up speaking English, and recently I've learned that people are reviving Baybayin (Filipino writing system before the Spanish colonization).
And I'd like to think that that should be what we are learning in school.
It's actually in the law, that we're supposed to be taught Baybayin and the different dialects of the Philippines.
The Korean Language is so beautiful. At the same how they speak it, how they say it depicts an emotion, and it's not just monotone.
I'm not saying that English or Filipino is monotone. The Filipino language is very rich in emotion.
It's just that I would wish that we would learn (and use) our ancient way of writing and speaking at school.
If I had to choose, I'd choose Filipino. It's for our country's pride.
Being a bilingual nation is pretty cool because it seems easier to communicate with other people even foreigners.
But there's also a downside to it because it somehow eradicates our being as Filipinos.
And we tend to have more bias towards English. It's a bit saddening because our language is beautiful.
So if I had to choose one, I'd chose Filipino~
If I had to choose one between English and Filipino, obviously Filipino.
When I see other countries with just one official language and are used to it.
It makes me think, "what are we (as Filipinos)?"
I'm an example myself. I'm not used to having a single sentence with pure Filipino. I would choose Filipino.
Honestly that's pretty hard to answer, 'cause I equally respect Filipino and English.
But the reason I speak in English more is because that's the language that my parents raised me in.
I honestly believe that if there was one language, I'd chose Filipino.
'Cause even if I don't know much about it, I wish I can learn more and understand it more. 'Cause this country needs more nationalism at some point.
We're all so into the western culture. Yeah, i'm such a hypocrite. But I believe that Filipino is a language that more people should appreciate.
I want our country to be known for something other than the Philippine Eagle or our President.
I want to be known for our language and our culture which is Filipino.
Just an opinion, when you speak English, it's normal to everybody.
But if you say something in Filipino, It has deeper meaning.
Like if you say "Hey, have you eaten?" in English, it feels different from "Uy, kumain ka na?" in Filipino.
It has a different and more emotional feeling when spoken.
Just like how different it feels to say "I love you" and "Mahal kita" is.
I'd prefer to speak Filipino with my peers.
I know we're speaking in English now, but deep inside, [we know Filipino is really special]. That's all!
