Korean Guys - your opinion

[forever]

This might be a very boring thread haha..

Watching too much of the korean drama... those guys are so loving, handsome and nice...

but in fact, are they really so loving and nice???

I heard that korean guys are violent and they are male chauvinists.

My friend went to korea once and ever saw a husband kicking and hitting his wife on the streets... so terrible wrong with that....

Is really that korean guy are so nice???

Really curious about it....

Cheers!!!

I was at a Korean restaurant in Singapore whereby the almost 95% of the people eating there are true-blue Koreans.

Halfway through the meal, we heard a loud crash, followed by noisy shouting and sounds of tableware on the floor. Turned out that this large bunch of Korean guys had too much to drink and were making absolute fools of themselves.

They were shouting and pushing each other and causing this whole ruckus that was very irritating and embarrassing. Even the police had to step in in the end.

According to the waitress there, it wasn't the first time, and she said that this is common among "koreans who get drunk".

I know that korean guys like to drink and ALOT... many like to puff as well.. they are almost similiar to the Japanese guys..
THey can be fun and good to hang out with, but as a partner for life, i don't think so as we will not be too used to it..

Those dramas, they like to make girls fantasize.. don't you think most of the time, its the male lead who are charming and rich and the female lead will be poor and pitiful?

Firstly about the original post mentioning about the husband beating his wife, that is sooo... sad! According to me a man not necessarily husband should never hit a woman.

About Korean guys? Well I have two korean male classmates. They're quite cool and are decent dudes. I hang out with one of them. He's friendly and fun to be with. But that's my experience.
Media is a bad representation of things in most instances. I guess you should'nt judge korean men on how they are potrayed on the screen but by your experience with them in person.

i don't know much about korean too.. but i quite like their culture haha... from all those drama i know that korean can drink lots of 'soju' and they like it very much even the ladies...

Drama are to tempt girls haha.... just curious.... but those ladies are fierce too ah.. by the way, they pull hair and beat each other up in those show... the ladies are violent too... drama are too beautiful to be true haha....

i think there are still nice korean out there.. maybe.... i agree, no matter what... even if having fun... a guy should never laid his hand on ladies...

Some are quite nice When you are buying things from them. LOL. Anyway, i always thought there would be quite an amount of handsome guy since i saw alot of them in drama and movies and there's always those pretty faces and was expecting to see at least a few, if not plentiful of them on the street while i was in Korea last year but all i see was pretty normal guy, not quite of what i have expected of.

I think Korean guys are quite persistent and would force u to do something even if u are not willing to, just like in the drama....had an encounter like that with the Korean guide (male) photographer when i didn't want to take photo since infront i had taken plenty. I think they are also quite realistic type of person, sometimes not afraid to let u know. Like what gooogal said, they are quite similar to Japanese men.

In terms of looks, majority of the Korean men are not good looking for sure. I was in Seoul in August and my friends and I concluded that the good looking ones are all at the TV station leaving the not so goodlooking ones walking on the streets. ahaha.

Character-wise, I've got quite a few Korean guy friends whom I got to know at a conference, the younger generation (meaning early 20s) is actually very nice and quite similar to Singaporean guys in many aspects except that they are very gentlemanly (like ladies first, opening the door for the lady etc). It's actually the older generation like their dads who are MCPs and with a tendency for violence.

haha.. those of the korean guy i happens to see on street are those normal one haha.. from the way they speak then i know that they are korean haha...

maybe the 'good' one did something with their face haha...

i ever saw one not bad looking tourist when i was working part time haha... handsome and gentleman - the younger generation one haha.. but don't you find it funny that those actors in those drama are good looking even when they are in their 30s... so why can't people find those in seoul's streets???

maybe really only the older generation are having those MCP problem.. as my sis are working in korea company and she ever mentioned to me that her boss and etc.. are not that good looking old folks.... haha...

cHeers!!!

[trespasser]

To me, i agreed that drama are fake. I used to work in korean company.

I can't deny that in fact some are good but i havent really met one. The korean i met in my company are all "mature" generation which i usually complain to my colleague, i'm not going to get any bf in this company cause all are "mature" generation..... But anyway, now i am still single so it makes not different haha~~

The only problem in korean company was language, as some can speak good english or amercian english but mostly amercian english, but some i can really never be able to make out what they are talking abt.

Just like every shows they bow alot especially to own kind.

But my opinion on korean guy was so-so and crafty.

This is just my opinion. cheer

[jaey]

younger generations are better

just like what you have mentioned, older ones are more absurd, just like all older ones, even in singapore, perhaps can go to chinatown, ours ones aren't any better.

I been to Korea particularly Seoul a few times (abt 5) for work and each time I stayed for 2-3 days. From, what I have observe they are mostly MCP and even you are a customer to their stores... the Male SA would never want to have talk to you nicely and look so "stuck up" most of the times... I thought it was only one stores but it is like most Totally MCP and rowdy

I heard that's because the Male to Female ratio is in 3:1 therefore it develops their MCPness!!!

[Sweet Secrets]

my friend has a friend whom married a Korean, apparently it is in the Korean culture that males tend to be more chauvinistic and more dominating in the house. I heard that most women aren't allowed to work after marriage.

[forever]

oh... spoilt those guys already...

why can't woman work?? can those guys earn lotsa of money??

no wonder ladies seem powerless there....

cHeers...

[ailicec]

i think it's their culture. woman are considered as lesser beings compared to man. and they are supposed to listen to their husband/father. so i'm not surprised if some of them beat up their wife, not that i condone the act.

[bloomingmusk]

Well...younger generation may be nice now but when they grow into mature age, will they behave just like their own dad? Who knows. Monkey see, monkey follow, monkey do. From my Korean guide who told us that woman once get pregnant, the co. there don't want to hire anymore....so they usually have no choice but to quit and MIL there don't want or like to look after the baby so woman no choice have to stay at home but my guide also said that after WWII, Korean was in a pretty bad shape and no money and nothing. It was woman who went out to work as prostitute, help the country's economy and earn the money while husband look after the house n children....so it's like abit contradicting now.
