    Last year for the 1st time, Kor-population increased little bit suddenly, ending the long down trending curve, because of dramatic increases of foreigners. And the infusion of foreigners from all over the world, will be more increasing for sure by the popularity of K- cultures. So Korea will make easy many laws relating with foreigners but it will take a little bit a time. But Foreign population will be a part of Korea sooner or later. It’s inevitable. I’m a Korean.

    I like the culture of Korea and went once for 2 weeks. I don't have any interest to live in Korea. The cost of living and wages if you need a job is too high. I might take another vacation in the future but I don't put it on my list for future retirement. I am down to 3 countries for retirement Philippine's, Vietnam, and Thailand. I am taking a 90 day tour with 1 month in each country to make my final decision in the fall.

      I believe it’s all different from person to person, family to family, but I have definitely heard of studies and surveys that show a lot of koreans do prioritize material wealth or goods in comparison to family or health. I’m not Korean, so I don’t want to take a guess on why that is (as it is not my culture or country to comment on) but it is something I have noticed, especially with the point that Korea has the lowest birthrate in the world. I’d like to make videos talking about these things in the future, but I would like to invite a Korean person (or multiple people) on to speak about these topics so I can hear from their prospectives and opinions rather than guess or assume things from my prospective. I hope this makes sense :-)

    I think the idea of having to speak Korean well to date Koreans isn't very accurate. It implies most Koreans wouldn't be able to speak in English, which isn't true. Most Koreans who you would want to date are university educated, and should be able to speak English well enough to date foreigners. For those Koreans that aren't educated to that level, or for those who don't speak any English, they would likely have little or no interest in dating foreigners at all to begin with.
